Early in the morning, sunlight began to come out of his contest. The moonlight began to fade. An old woman and a young man were scavenging for garbage in a landfill.
Suddenly the young man shouted.
"Mr. Grandma, grandma, there's a corpse, there's a corpse. The old woman limped in walking to her beloved granddaughter.
"There's what cu, yelling this is still morning, later the other scavengers on come, we can't get much. Not that you plan to buy shoes for school" said the grandmother while looking at her granddaughter. But how surprised he was when he saw the body of a woman with both hands and feet tied.The young man immediately checked the pulse of the woman lying in a bound state.
"She's still alive, Grandma, let's help" the young man immediately lifted the woman's body and placed her in his garbage wagon and pulled the wagon. The grandmother followed from behind.
they continued to walk along the river flow.after walking for about half an hour until they arrived at a simple stilt house measuring four by six meters with a roof made of leaf grass. the young man picked up the woman he found in the trash bin earlier.
"Just lie down in grandma cu's room. Let grandma clean her body and change her dirty clothes. You should boil water to clean his body and make a glass of warm tea and do not forget to bring warm water along with a small towel to clean his body," said the grandmother to her granddaughter.
"Okay grandma, Ivory immediately did the grandmother's order, " said a young man dressed in shabby clothes as he headed to the kitchen to prepare firewood and start a fire. He boiled water using a furnace. Smoke billowed out through the cracks of the walls made of planks.
After the water was hot enough, Ivory poured into the basin and took a small towel and brought him to the room to see his grandmother.
"This is the warm water that my grandmother had ordered," said Ivory while watching his grandmother who was opening the closet looking for the right clothes to be worn by the woman who had just been found earlier.
"put it there Gading, you continue to cook rice and just sing kale. Your kale mutik behind the house, "said grandma without looking at Ivory. Ivory went into the kitchen leaving his grandmother to continue cooking rice and vegetables, while his grandmother who had gotten what she was looking for immediately cleaned the woman's body and changed her dirty clothes, wet and smelling rubbish.
"What a fate you son, who would have done all this to you. You seem to want to have a wedding when viewed from your clothes that wear kebaya, he said, and your face is also decorated even though it almost faded due to rain water. Finished cleaning and changing the clothes attached to the woman's body earlier, the, the grandmother had poured eucalyptus oil on the woman's body while approaching the eucalyptus oil bottle that had been uncapped by the woman's nose that had just been found in the trash.
slowly the woman came to her senses from her stupor.
"Hemmmm, eeeeeehhh, "the woman moved her limbs and opened her eyes.
"You're aware, son, what's your name, "asked the grandmother.
"Ja...Don't touch me, jaaangaan hurt me, I beg you," said the woman sobbing.
"He's my grandson who found you in a dumpster and brought you to this house, his name is Ivory. Your name is who son is, why are you in the trash, let's drink the tea so that your body is fresher," said grandmother Leni while taking a cup of warm tea and bring the woman's lips closer. I then took a sip of warm tea little by little.
"Thank you grandma, Ivory Brother has helped me my name Sekar. Actually it's my wedding day with Gilang. But I was kidnapped after being decorated, he said it was a car invitation to go to the mosque where the marriage contract will be held. without any suspicion I immediately entered the car.
I realized that I had been kidnapped after about twenty minutes of travel.I kept thrashing and screaming until my legs and hands were tied by them and then they put my mouth wet handkerchief and nose, and then they put my feet and hands together, after that I was unconscious.
"Keep you are from which village, son," asked grandmother Leni again while rubbing Sekar's back to provide calm.
"I am from the center of the city of Nek," Sekar replied with tears.
"The city center is a long way from here, son, maybe about a day and a night if you take the city bus from the terminal. While from here the terminal we have to ride Ojek about two hours drive and it requires a lot of fare. While we are only a scavenger and while working on land owned by villagers whose results are not much. If you want to go home be patient, we will collect money first yes, " said grandmother Leni.
"Now we eat first use potluck vegetables, sorry there is only rice and kale vegetables, let's eat full so that your body is healthy quickly," said Grandma Leni while moving rice and vegetables into a plate and then handed it to Sekar, then took another plate and filled with rice and vegetables and handed to Gading. Next he took the rice and vegetables for himself. The three of them ate voraciously, enjoying breakfast with a simple menu but it was delicious, until the food was finished none of them spoke. Finished eating Ivory directly lifted the plate and leftovers back, while grandmother Leni asked Sekar to rest again.
In the afternoon, Sekar just woke up from his sleep. His body feels fresher now. Sekar stepped out into the kitchen, he saw grandmother Leni was busy in the kitchen.
"Nek Sekar can help what," said Sekar slowly.
"You just sit down, your body must still be limp. Grandma's cooking, Ivory's coming home from the garden he's picking vegetables to bring tomorrow to the market" said grandmother Leni.
