an unforgettable event, truly frightening and sinister, the face of my uncle whom I once saw a good man has now turned like a demon.
When Dad wanted to take the rice that had been milled, suddenly the man came he was none other than my uncle,the father of a man who died in a single accident that killed several not one ago.It turns out he accused my father as the killer of his son, the son, so he wanted revenge by killing my father.Dad did not expect that all this time he was in surveillance all this time.Indeed since the death of his son his way of view is different, he is more sinister, until now proven.
When father was getting close he came out with a machete, a banter he usually brought where.Dad was shocked and immediately ran to our coffee garden which was close to that place.
"if he dares to act more and sort of maybe here is more wood or stone that I can make tools to fight"
father muttered as he jumped a wire fence to make his clothes torn at the bottom.
I remember Exactly dad was wearing a long-sleeved green shirt back then.
"do not watch out for days"
my aunt screamed from a distance, she was afraid that my uncle, who was like a demon, would throw the cleaver he was holding from behind,and if that happens it will hit my father's back and he could easily kill him, but God wills something else until my tantalizing act doesn't happen.
"sir quickly ran away, God help him only to you I hand him over, protect my son"
from a distance the voice of the woman called to my father, praying for help, none other than my grandmother, the mother of my father.
As fast as I could run, he didn't fight the one in his mind just wanted to dodge.
"i won't fight him, if I fight I must be stronger, he's older, but if I don't fight I can die, but if I fight he can die,I don't want to be in jail, my son's a little boy"
my father said in his heart, he just dodged and ran.
"Awas you, I have only one son, you also have only one son, you have killed my son, then I will kill your son,if I can't get your son then one of your daughters will be in his place, I can't get him here then even in school I can kill him."
my uncle really said that, did I not mishear, what I used to think was good is now turning into a demon.
He said that after my father managed to dodge and enter my grandmother's house.
we can only be grateful that you avoided.
Out there he still put up his demon face, he was pacified by his family and brought home.
"now we do not have to fight but we avoid, for some days do not go out first, make children at home just yet" said the family reminded father and us.
night
since our house was made from a board my father's brother suggested that we not sleep there for a while, he advised us to sleep in his house, rame rame with my aunt and grandmother's family.
every night like that, my grandmother was afraid that this attempted murder would happen again.
Father's brother who lives in Batam suggested that we move to batam, because my uncle not only threatened my father's life, but me, my sister, and my family.A semester break was imminent, a week later the distribution of reports will be held, but because of the incident we are not allowed to go out and the mother immediately took action.
"sir, I beg you for this one week my children are released sir, because also the test is finished, you must have known the incident 2 days ago, sir, I beg you."
my mother asked permission to go to school to keep us entertained until the reception of the report.
"well Mom, I also know what has happened, I also can not force, because it will endanger the child, he can act anytime, it is better for us who are looking for safety instead,I can understand, and make the report later they do not need to come to school, let me just deliver it later"
the headmaster replied at length, in addition to the teacher at the school he had also known our family for a long time.He already knew what had happened so he did not want to take the risk.
"thank you sir for everything, once again thank you"
my mother answered with pleasure.
"pak nurrr, how if you bring your family here, here there is also an empty land, you can use, make a house later there is already a house, there is a house,even if it's simple but at least our children are safe from the threat, they must be scared, the children's love, they're still small."
there was a bapaktua sound from a phone that my father held but my father refused
"no need to bang, then we move from this village alone, do not need to be far away, especially if it's to Batam, too far away, which there will be people who will think I am the killer, he said,because I run away at a time like this"
answer my father to convince my father who is on the other side.
"but what about the kids, they're definitely still traumatized"
"it's okay bang, everything's gonna be fine"
"alright if it makes your decision you can not force, but still be careful to keep children from happening"
"y bang I understand brother's anxiety"
the phone was cut off
A few days after the incident the father, mother and all the family had decided that we had to move, not so far away, but at least it was safer.we could not go out of the house,mom kept us from always traveling far enough to play in the yard, my childhood was no playtime, just a little, just a little,my day was up to help with homework and to lift water from the well.so playing in the night was enough. On Monday, a week after the incident, my father got an empty house, besides being close to the city of the house was also close to the rice field where we were planting rice,the rice field belongs to the people we rent.At first only the father who went there, we actually want to help him down every day, but because it is not possible, we only come 2 times a week, we only come 2 times a week,and if dad has another job then we'll take his place downstairs.
The house has been found, stayed in the clean so it is worth to live in, just 2 days for my father and 2 younger brothers and my aunt husband to clean it, just to clean it,and my rabbi's day who left for the market with my mother came to just look, buy school supplies because I had to go to a new school, become a new student, buy school supplies, because I had to go to a new school,not SD child anymore but already SMP. I came with the mama all clean just waiting for the new residents of the house who are none other than us.
the way home we did not go through the usual road, we passed the rice fields that were never passed by anyone, we avoided the uncle of the devil.
"people who don't know for sure say we're crazy"
the voice of my aunt husband broke the silence
"why indeed"
I asked spontaneously
because this road has never been passed by humans, there are rarely people who pass here because it is like a forest"
my father also spoke, while my mother only focused on walking, maybe he was getting tired of having to carry my sister on his back.During a few hours of our journey to home, all the goods we had packed, all the goods we had,because tomorrow is Thursday, it's time to move, move up the village where I was born and spend 11 more years of my childhood there.
"nur, like his bag we're not enough, take the bag that's in your uncle's house (my mother's only brother)
the clock shows 06:00
"but this mother is already late afternoon I'm afraid that I will meet with the uncle of the devil"
I answered my mother, I am still traumatized by what happened one week ago.
"it's okay everything's gonna be okay, take your sister, you're not gonna see her"
my mother said reassuringly
"well mom"
I immediately invited my sister but unlucky in the middle of the road we met the demon uncle he appeared before us I don't know where he came from.As soon as possible I ran and pulled my sister's hand we cried while running as hard as possible my energy saw my sister who was trembling and her face pale.
my sister's name is Wendelina but she used to be called Tala, which is why she called Tala.
"la,, that's the devil's bone, right"
I said when he showed up
"y kk We have to run"
she's freaked out
"why are you guys, where's the bag?"
ask mommy Wonder to see us coming home fast and pale and crying
"the uncle of the devil was there, ma'am, we met him"
I'm surprised that I heard you coming closer
"let's just have the bag there, we'll use the existing one" said the father as he approached.
