Pig Slamming

57. Biased

The dog continued to run in the footsteps that the dog believed.to confuse the hunters, Because the dog that was used as a guide for directions, even scattered the four schools, without necessarily the direction of the destination.

"Hadeeeeh....! which dog should the cave follow, the cave is confused!" said a man standing on his waist, his eyes scanned the surrounding area, looking for the whereabouts of the dog he thought was most correct.

"Si Marih's! the truest dog, because it is a special dog for hunting pigs." replied a grandfather-grandfather boasting his pet.

"Come here! the pigs are here." shouted a hunter from the south.

"It's right here! please intercept from the direction of the valley." replied someone who shouted anyway, but the direction was different.The person who shouted was in the North.

Hearing such screams, made the man who had just turned his waist.he also sat down by dropping himself on a pile of pine tree leaves.then he took a cigarette and then pulled out a stick, he said, without a thought, he started lighting a match and then sucked the cigarette deeply, then threw the smoke up, so that it was blown by the mountain breeze. he did not follow the chase because he was confused about which direction to pursue.

The people who were still running after the pet dog, they were very upset because the dog was not chasing the boar, but chasing the squirrel who was running in the bushes. makes the owner of the Dog feel annoyed with unreliable dogs. Finally he scolded the Dog to the satisfaction, perhaps letting go of his annoyance, when the Dog was only an animal, who would not understand what his master was talking about.

"Basar tol0l dog! dog beg0! why chase the squirrel, which you have to chase the boar! beg0!" angered his master while staring intently at his dog.

The dog scolded, The dog was just an animal that did not understand what his master was talking about. The dog continued to run around chasing his prey.Seeing his pet chasing squirrels, the owner left without caring about the Dog anymore, because it was only in vain if to hunt squirrels.

Time went on so fast that around the time of Ashar, the hunters regrouped, with empty hands and not only that they argued with each other loudly, arguments fight each other blame. because the residents who can not hunt join the hunt, so the trail they lay down just lost.it is all due to the lack of knowledge of novice hunters. though clearly their dogs that can not smell the traces of wild boar, the dogs were diverted by the traces of other pigs, because in the area is already famous for the area where the hunting of wild boars.

Finally the oldest people who went hunting, gave their decision to go home, considering the time had started to go into the afternoon.While the pigs they chased out of nowhere, where to run, because let alone chase or catch it. the trail was lost somewhere. because the dog they rely on to be a guide, distracted by the traces of other forest animals.

While Galih was heading to the village of Ciomas, he had arrived in the village, he continued to listen to the voices of dogs that interlocked, he waited for the results. because if it followed to the hunting place, he continued to listen to the sounds of dogs that interlocked, he waited for the results, he was afraid of not finding it, so he decided to wait for the people who came home hunting. Finally he dropped his body on the side of the road waiting for the people who were hunting.

Long wait finally Galih saw the man who hunted the strange pig coming, quickly he got up from his seat, then approached the people.

"Sorry Kang, would you like to ask?" galih said as the mangosteen saluted.

"What's up Jang! what's the need?" asked the person who was asked by Galih while staring at him.

"You ask me about the boar, was it caught or not?"

"No jang! can't."

"Where is he going?"

"Yes how do I know Jang! so it can not be arrested because it does not know where the direction of running to where. if it is found out where the direction of running to where, then we will continue to pursue until we can." replied the man who looks very upset. then without saying again, he left Galih, because maybe the person asked felt tired, plus annoyed with Galih, so he did not want to linger in that place, it will not be any more chatter to be had, perhaps his hand could have floated towards the young man's face.

Looking at the person he asked like that, Galih just fell silent in thought, feeling ashamed of not being considered. yet he did not continue to think about it, he sat back down beside the road, he sat back down beside the road, and he was not thinking about it, while staring at the people who had just returned home hunting pigs, their faces were very tired, their clothes wet with sweat, the dogs were running to chase each other, and the dogs ran, but there was also a dog that walked behind his handler.

Again speechless to see the people who went home hunting, seen from the rear of the group there is an old grandfather, using a stick in his hand. looks very weak, he said, but when in the forest he was not inferior to other young people.when the grandfathers saw Galih, he stopped for a moment while staring at the person who was sitting.

"C, emmmmm... Again find out about the pig, who just hunted, where did Ki run?"  reply Galih who looks aghast, because he is a herd daydreaming about the person he is looking for.

"Oh turned out to be looking for a pig that had just been hunted, why is it that the pig has Ujang?"

"not Ki! it's not mine, but I'm curious he said the wild boar was a very strange pig, I want to know the truth like what, Don't just hear the story. Is it really a boar or a pig so-called events?" answer Galih explained.

"I don't know Jang! Aki did not know that, but according to the view of the battery after seeing it, the pig was indeed very strange."

"What male is a female ki?"

"Why is it like that? no idea atuh Ujang. Aki did not look towards the place of prohibition. In fact, if the pig is difficult to distinguish what men are women, let alone the pig is running like that. the pig is not like a human, if humans can be seen from his posture only, if human can be seen from his posture, I can tell which men are women. The pig that was being hunted could not be seen clearly, for the pig kept running."

"Oh like that, Thank you for the explanation of the battery." replied Galih as he got up, but the grandfathers were still in the way.

"Start! just stop! Hurry up in a hurry! Where's the end from? I think the new battery saw the face of Ujang wandering in the village of Ciomas?"

"I'm Galih Ki, from Ciandam village. I'm looking for a pretty girl named Ranti, that's my lover, the Beloved Who's getting married soon, now she's disappearing out of nowhere."

"Whose replacement?"

"Replace his son Bah Abun, the woven city of the village of Ciandam."

"Ooooooooh!" said the grandparents while puffing cheeks that look wrinkled.

"Yes so! excuse me ki!" reply Galih without waiting for his question again he immediately left the place.

Galih continued to walk by carrying the Disappointed Heart, because what was being sought again lost track.he continued to walk without a destination, ushered in by the gaze of the grandparents who had asked. actually, the grandfathers were still many questions that filled his mind, but Galih was far away from leaving him.

"There is life in this world. there are many peculiarities that cannot be understood by common sense.the time is looking for people who want to be married, but who suckled a pig, a pig, really weird!" Murmuring the grandfathers while scratching his head that did not feel itchy. felt he did not find the answer of what was on his mind, Finally he continued the journey to return to his home.

While the man who was cursed by the grandfathers, he continued to walk in the direction of the wind. "unfortunately I could not see the pig, if I could see. I might be able to confirm that the pig is really a pig or just a wild boar as usual ."

"Replace, Ranti.....! Where are you going Neng. Akang confused looking for you. But even so, I will not give up, I will continue to find Your Existence Neng. Akang will never stop before Akang can find you. Ranti....! Ranti....! It's a pity if it's true what Mang Zuhri told you, if you're lost by turning into a boar." Continue muttering Galih while continuing down the village road, he did not think where the Exodus of the road was. Most importantly he now continued to step to look for the whereabouts of his lover, he did not think, looking for the person who is always Present in his or her Dreams.

In the following days Galih continued to search for the existence of Ranti, from village to village, from village to village, Even he sought strictness, where it could be used as a resting place for wild boars. long searching but he did not find any trace of it again, so his legs that had been walking for days felt sore, his body felt weak, the supplies that he brought had begun to run out. Finally he decided to go home first, he wanted to tell that he had not found the whereabouts of his son Mbah Abun, while resting.later when his body has recovered, he planned to search again.

While his Friend named Daus, after parting ways with Galih, when entering Ciaul Village.
