NYI TWINS TRIBUTE

Careful

"Be careful .. Good luck to the destination."

The departure of Riani, Bayu and Manda was accompanied by a wave of hands from the woman.

The clock shows liam in the afternoon. The sun was already at the western end and was about to sink.

Today the wind blows strong and this opportunity is used by children to play kites. Seen above the sky that had turned white due to the clouds, several kites flew beautifully in the future by the children gathered in the field.

It feels peaceful, at the same time amazed. I don't know how many years Riani hasn't seen a scene like this.

Without feeling it, he fell asleep because he was tired which made him sleepy.

His body swayed following the car that started to enter the unpaved road. The wobble that almost happened throughout the rest of the journey made Riani open her eyes.

Dark, no lights on the side of the road.

Riani turned her head towards Bayu, the man also fell asleep. It seemed that he was very sound and Riani was reluctant to wake him up.

"Where are we, Man?" riani asked, venturing to ask the man who was still too foreign to her.

"Udah is almost there, really," replied Manda with eyes that continued to look forward.

The street that was highlighted by the car lights was not paved, but only stones arranged in such a way. No wonder if when this car passes, the sway will always be there.

Riani's eyes looked at the clock on the dashboard. The time shows at 13:32, of course the clock is wrong.

"Cock the watch not shine, Man?" ask Riani later.

Manda slightly glanced towards the timepiece with a number that lit up red. "Yes, hehehe, no time."

Having no other ideas for conversation, Riani chose to be quiet. He felt his stomach hungry and decided to eat the bread he had brought from the city and had only been eaten half while traveling on the train.

Along the way was still the same, there was nothing to see. Right left is a wilderness, with no houses.

"That's the village gate?" riani asked when she saw a pretty good archway.

Made from bamboo and blarak (coconut leaves that have dried), there is also a woven winnow that is colored to decorate the top and right and left sides of the archway.

"Yes, we have entered the village area" replied Manda, he continued driving the car.

But after passing through the village gate, Riani still could not see the houses of the people. The streets are also still of stones laid out in such a way.

'What is the village where Bayu lives like this!' batin Riani, he took a sip of mineral water as he continued to observe around.

Riani did not realize if she fell back asleep, suddenly she felt her cheeks being patted by someone repeatedly.

Slowly Riani made an eye, she found Bayu who seemed busy to tidy up the luggage.

"Ri, ba-" Bayu stopped his sentence when he found Riani who had opened her eyes.

"We've arrived?" riani asked with a heavy voice as she had just woken up from sleep.

Bayu nodded. "Ju down, we're home alone."

Riani according.

Bayu first got out of the car with luggage on both hands.

Understanding if Bayu is still troubled, Riani decides to open the car door herself.

He set both feet on the rocky road. His eyes looked towards the house made of woven bamboo with warm orange illumination inside.

At the doorway was seen a man and a woman in their forty years.

"Know, Ri, this is my mother's father." Bayu introduced himself.

"Riani," said Riani, shaking the rough man's hand, then shaking the hand of the woman standing next to the man. "Riani." It turned out that their hands were both equally rough.

"Come in, Nduk," said the mother gently.

The four sat in the living room with tables and wooden chairs. It was very different from the one in Riani's house.

On the table, there were four glasses of hot sweet tea that had just been served by the woman. Riani took a sip, a thick tea flavor with a soothing jasmine aroma.

"House Bayu ya rich gini, Nduk. I, Suwiryo, his father Bayu only work in the fields. This is my wife, Utari, stepmother Bayu, she also only works in the garden" explained the man who apparently named Suwiryo.

"It may not be the same, Nduk. You in town must be a nicer house, more tidy, not rich here."

There was nothing Riani could do but nod and force herself to smile. He feels uncomfortable compared to this.

"Night, sir, Buk, we're tired of taking a break." Bayu got up from his seat.

"Oh, yes, let me tell you where Riani's room is," said Utari who then moved from her seat. "Come, Nduk."

Riani also moved from her seat. The three of them left the living room with Suwiryo who was still sitting in the same place, enjoying the tea that was still warm.

"Well, this is your room here, Nduk," said Utari, he opened the door of a room that is simple from wood and did not get the slightest paint polish. "I'm sorry, Nduk, rich gini room."

"Yes, no papa, ma'am" said Riani, he noticed a small two-square-meter room with a foam mattress lying on the floor.

The foam mattress was single-sized with one sleeping pillow and one bolster pillow. There is a batik patterned cloth that can be used as a blanket, although it is too thin.

"Day-dad, Nduk, if you need anything at midnight call me." He turned to the back. "This is Mom's room."

Riani nodded. "Thank you, Mom. Then I want to change clothes and clean my face first."

"Yes, if you need anything Mother in the living room, Mother is not sleepy, so I want to nemenin his father Bayu first." He chuckled to end his sentence.

While Utari walked back to the living room, Riani walked into the room. He locked the wooden door with an old key that is still used at the back of the door. The small wood at the back of the door is rotated until it is horizontal.

The bag of clothes that will be used for one week here is simply placed on the floor of the room. Riani did not see any glass or small table that she could use to store her skincare and beauty products, there was also no closet to store clothes in here. There was only a table right next to the foam mattress.

Riani began to take out her things, she arranged the clothes on the table, as well as the other items.

After cleaning the makeup that had actually been lost since the trip, Riani came out of the room.

The sound of the room door squeaking seemed to be heard by Utari. He again approached Riani who was now standing in front of the room door.

"I'm going to the bathroom, Mom, where are you?"

"Oh, go to the bathroom, okay? Come here follow Mom," he said who then stepped past Riani.

In Riani's hands there was already bath soap, toothbrush and liquid soap and a small towel. He won't take a shower because the air here feels pretty cold, but just wants to wash his hands, feet, face and brush his teeth.

"I used the sandal first," said Utari stopped her footsteps.

There are three flip-flops with large sizes and Riani wears one of them. He entered the room with a goat and chicken coop, there was only one lamp that illuminated and the floor of this room was also still in the form of soil that made Riani have to wear sandals so that the soles of her feet remained clean.

While wearing the flip-flops, Riani realized that Utari took something inside the black plastic hanging on the wall, but Riani did not care.

Both continue their steps. Apparently the bathroom was not in this room, but Utari opened a locked door.

Feeling that there was a restroom behind that door, Riani's guess was wrong.

The door leads to the back. Riani came out of the house along with Utari. Dark, no lighting around here.

To turn on the flashlight that is not too bright. At this time Riani only realized that Utari had taken a flashlight for lighting.

Riani's footsteps followed Utari by relying on moonlight because Utari who was holding a flashlight actually walked in front.

"Well, you come in."

Riani looked towards the restroom with the large pool inside, creepy.

"This is the flashlight" continued Utari gave the flashlight that was not so brightly lit to Riani.

"What are you wearing?"

"Udah, there's still moonlight."

Riani said, he entered the bathroom with a flashlight as lighting.

He noticed a large pool and seemed to be deep, or perhaps because the flashlight was not too bright so it could not penetrate to the bottom of the pool. Riani closed the curtain used to hammer the doorway without a door. He was blasting soap and a small towel that he was carrying around the pool.

In the silence, there was the sound of water and the middle of the pool was like there was a bubble coming out of the water.

"Whatis that? No fish, right?"
