The Dream of the Dead Aldo

Still about the free treatment that our family held, initially bone hesitated with the treatment plan that Netta did, because he knew how the character of the people in their village.

But Netta is not a quitter, what else for a social event.

When Netta expressed her desire to do the treatment that night, Gres' bones had forbidden her by saying this;

“Nungga be Host, loja ho annon, akka jolma si jugul in huta on”

“Here is it son, tired of you later, people who are unruly in this village,” said bone Gres.

“Father Uda, this is my vow when I was in school to the doctor, and this is also the dream of my best friend, Aldo Situmorang the young doctor I told you about during the accident in Jakarta,”, Netta said that day.

“But .. Boru, they don't know people's good intentions, just look at their mouths that insulted your sisters all this time,” said the Twins bone.

“Good Deeds that we do , we need not expect from man himself Father Uda but from God, if we do good as those who wrong us, if we do good, I am sure the blessing we will receive from God is doubled,” said Netta.

“Alright Host, if that's what you want, but believe me will not come them later,” said bone that night.

Meals me too, a little compiling the chair that day, but who would have guessed, the people who would come were so many, even we had to ask for the restraint of the medics as well that day.

Even that night, the sound of a baby crying was still heard at the house of my mother-in-law, the pregnant mother who was on the stretcher that afternoon, she was already holding her first child in her lap.

Actually we asked them to stay the night at our house, maybe because seeing so many of our families, the host felt bad, he asked to go home.

Lae Rudi and I drove back home away from the hospital.

“How do they go to the hospital for treatment and control if their house is far away and the streets are damaged like this?” I asked Lae Rudi after we drove them home.

“Yes, such is life in the village of lae, so it is often pregnant women in the village gave birth to potluck, even when I was a child, then, many who give birth at home are helped by the baso or shaman giving birth,” said lae Rudi.

Hearing such a story, I honestly heard it, now I understand more and more why Netta and Aldo wanted to raise funds for gotong royong to build roads and clinics in their village.

“Sad also heard it”

“Lae no, ito Netta was also born near the spring in the oppung field, if mama used to hear the story when giving birth to her, her own mother, and her parents, cut the umbilical cord yourself and brought home alone with mama,” said Rudi.

My eyes glared at Lae Rudi's story, not imagining how great my mother-in-law and Netta could survive, in such a situation.

“It was serious ... I mean the host's own birthplace?”

“Yes, after half way, new dad came to pick up mama because of worry, mom came home lama”

“Wow ... it was an incredible struggle.” I rubbed my feathers in my hand imagining the process to the borneng's body

‘Has fast as she is strong and kind, the person she was born spring’ I said in my heart, I just found out, because Netta never told me about how her birth story.

“Alright lae, I understand Netta's great desire, I try to talk to the bones bandung so that he can bring later to the board meeting and ask the regional head of Samosir to fix Jalan”

The next morning, we were still putting up a treatment tent, accidentally me and Candra early to arrange a chair for the seat people would check. When we were cleaning up Netta and Tivani was also awake.

“Sangat bangat ya mothers of this doctor,” said Candra.

“Seeing this mother's spirit, I also so join the spirit,” reply Tivani.

“What do you love Tivani, she can change so?” I whispered as we both sat down to rest.

“No Bang, maybe because I'm handsome”

“Idih .. eat tuh handsome,” timpal sis Eva he came to sit next to us.

“True Kak”

“Listen yes, only one can truly change the character of a woman, sincere love and understanding. See Tivani she is very beautiful white, tall, eleven twelve equal eda Netta, do you think they only see your good looks?” ask Sister Eva.

“ Yes Might”

“No, I'm sure Tivani received a sincere love from you To, she trusts you”

Candra finally smiled. “He was actually a good boy, perhaps, all this time he was too pampered with his papi because he was the only child”

While again sitting chatting Tivani came.

“You smile, let's talk about what a beautiful girl yes ..?”

She tickled Candra and joked, while in the village Tivani always make out with her husband, even in front of papi and in front of me as haha doli or brother-in-law who must be respected. But we all understand and do not immediately reprimand it blatantly, because Tivani has not really understood the word ‘ Subang’ or (Bantang) . Because in Custom Batak there is also the term ‘mar Bao’ it should not speak together. Suppose that Lae Arkan, the husband of Eva and Netta's sister, in the Batak custom in Netta village, should not talk, first, if only the two of them in one room, then, eating it often Netta felt sorry for Lae Arkan because they were Mar Bao.

But Si Borneng, boru Batak Asli, certainly knows the word subang or abstinence, eating him he was always polite, when with our extended family, when we were with our family, what else in front of his itto or in front of lae Saut and in front of his bones the brother of the host-in-law, he did not want to joke or laugh crazily. But if when we were both he always joked with me, that's the difference between Boru Batak and Boru Si Leban.

As we sat resting on the grass in the middle of the small field, Netta was still busy tidying up the tables and separating the medicines, he said, a few minutes later the unchecked men were already sitting in chairs holding their respective queue numbers, the free treatment finally continuing again. But today it is not as sweet as yesterday anymore, as some health workers from the local health service have finally come to help.

Netta proposed that the health service should once a month to make a health visit to the remote village. Netta's advice was well received one mission they finally succeeded.

That night, we also proposed our idea of the same bone, asked to call the local administration, he did he called and sent me pictures of the damaged streets that I photographed and I recorded, he said, we Eva as a socmed expert she also had a proposal to post broken streets on social media each trying to use the power of social media and ask all her friends to help share it not until one day in response, they promised to review the damaged roads to the village of Netta up to the upper village.

The dream of Netta and Aldo finally began to materialize, Netta was moved when she heard that they would submit a road improvement fund to the central government, I was happy when the dream of Borneng and his best friend succeeded.
