On A Stormy Night
26. Old Woman and Her Story



Finish eating Damar get out of there. But just a few steps out, he saw an old woman who almost fainted. He looks like he's carrying a bag. Seeing her condition so Damar immediately helped her. Clearly visible his wrinkled face was very weak.


"Grandma's no papa?" ask Damar.


"Just drowning, son."


"Grandmother wants to be delivered to grandma's house? It looks like grandma's not okay."


"Don't kid. Grandma doesn't want to go there anymore. Grandma really wanted to get out of there," when she heard that she was about to be escorted home, she seemed to want to make a revolt. It seems like there is a complicated problem that is happening to him.


"What's the problem, Grandma?" ask Damar.


"There's no problem, grandma just wants to go," she didn't want to be frank. Naturally, the truth is, after all, the two of them did not know each other before.


"Grandmother ate? Looks so drowsy this grandma."


The one who was asked was silent, he seemed confused as to what to answer. He did not know the motive of the young man to help him.


"If grandma does not want to go home mending we eat first, at least the stomach filled grandmother," said Damar again.


"Grandmother has no money ."


"That's easy, Grandma. I'll eat yuk, then let me pay. Grandma took it clean," smiling Damar said. Grandma finally wanted to be invited by Damar to eat.


"Grandmother why not go home? How is your family grandma? What are they not?" with a plan Damar said.


Mud bath? Grandma-granny? when he saw his face was also not foreign. Don't-don't-don't this granny who recently viral because of the content of the mud bath. But it was so bad he told her to take a bath in the mud. Why not just him who takes a shower must be more spectators and also not get blasphemy. Winning badly is a person.


"Who told you to take a mud bath?"


"Grandmother's grandchild."


"Where's the destination Grandma going?"


"I don't know. Grandma doesn't have any more money."


"Yes, he ate it first, Grandma. Money matters were easy," Damar tried to calm the old woman down.


After finishing eating, before parting Damar gave money with a large nominal. The woman was actually about to reject him, but in the end accepted him as well.


Pitying the woman, while riding her motorcycle Damar thought of the old woman. Older instead of being respected, they are treated like that. It felt like meeting someone who had done something wrong, but I don't know who Damar was.


After reaching home, Damar matured his intention to write a story. Last night he did just scribble paper. The work is wasted actually, but it feels good also to reduce the burden on the heart.


He wanted to write a story that he wanted to write yesterday, about someone who lives in a big house that looks haunted. He lived with another resident who was affected by mental disorders. Actually Damar does not know where the story will start, just yes it feels like he has been very compatible with the story.


While continuing to drive, his mind slowly turned to the story he was about to make. At least before he executes a plan that will change his life he wants to finish this one story .
