Santri Famiglia's

Accepts

Sanubari's friends understand her condition. They did not question Sanubari who called them locusts after hearing Canda's explanation.

Day by day passed. Every day, Canda's going to Sanubari. Eiji, Sai, and Renji start working at BGA. Hana and Hanan become shopkeepers not far from Abrizar's house. Thanks to Aeneas' recommendation, Fukai was admitted to the hospital where Sanubari was treated earlier.

While Abrizar's work has not changed. He remains a WFH powerhouse or works from home while occasionally hacking large companies on his list of targets.

When afternoon comes, Abrizar will go to the mosque with Aljunaidi and Anki. Everyone starts to follow their normal routine. Visits to Sanubari house are only done on weekends.

Sanubari days spent gardening with Zunta, Aeneas, Kelana, and Canda. They play more often than work the fields. Throwing balls off each other or spraying water. As a result, there are still many seeds that have not been planted.

Until noon, the chef approached Aeneas, saying that lunch was ready. Aeneas told them to stop their activities and wash their hands.

Zunta and Sanubari run to the table of Lesehan. A fairly extensive angkringan is made in the backyard. It was deliberately Aeneas to bring the feel of eating in a hut in the middle of the rice field, even though the place was more luxurious than the actual hut.

Sanubari never want to be asked to change clothes when going to eat after gardening. Zunta followed. Other adults too, they just clean the soil that sticks to clothes, then wash their hands. They sat around the dishes on the table. However, when Sanubari picked up the white plate, it was suddenly as red as blood. Sanubari.

He reflexively threw the plate until it broke. Everyone is shocked.

Sanubari's hand shook violently as her heart rate increased. Wherever the eyes looked, everything looked like blood. White rice looks disgusting.

As a result, a bloody tragedy unfolded in Sanubari's head. Stabbed stomach, shot head, bleeding chest. Although all that is not clear, but Sanubari's breath is tight because of it.

All of a sudden, Sanubari ran. Aeneas quickly chased after him.

"Sanu! What's up?" Aeneas blocked Sanubari's arm.

The teenager thrashed, forcing himself to be detached from Aeneas without words. However, Aeneas did not take it off just like that. He held Sanubari from behind.

"What did you see this time? Its alright. Papa is here" whispered Aeneas.

The head of Zunta followed Sanubari. These few days, Sanubari looks very cheerful, though still think of him and others as a grasshopper.

However, Sanubari today was suddenly strange. Zunta was quite surprised when he saw Sanubari suddenly slamming the plate like that.

Sadly, he asked, "Grandfather, Sanu why else?"

"It seems, Sanu had a nightmare." Canda stands.

"How could Sanu have dreamed? Obviously he woke up and just started farming with me." Zunta doesn't understand.

"Just shout it out first! Grandpa wants to help Sanu."

Afterwards, Canda invites Aeneas to take Sanubari to the teenage room itself. Aeneas left them both. Sanubari sat on the bed. While Canda in the swivel chair.

"What do you see, Sanu?"

Sanubari did not answer. He was bowed with a pale face.

"Try closing your eyes, take a deep breath, and then take it out slowly! It'll make you calmer."

Sanubari rejected Canda's suggestion in silence. He did not dare to raise his head.

"Is there anything scary in this grasshopper kingdom? Say if there is! I'll get rid of it for you." Canda's trying to earn Sanubari's trust.

In previous consultations, Canda also talked more about fishing Sanubari. Although only a word or two that Sanubari sometimes said, Canda remained patient.

"Tell me!" the word Canda is as gentle as possible. He doesn't want to sound pushy. Hard coercion will only make Sanubari more rebellious.

Sanubari struggled with his own thoughts. He was worried, should he say it or not. In the end, a word came out of his mouth.

"Blood."

Canda did not understand the blood that Sanubari meant. So, he gave the most common answer, "Humans have blood. Animals have blood too. What are you afraid of blood?"

"Dead," one more short answer Sanubari gave.

"Every living thing will meet death. Whether it's today, tomorrow, or some other time. That is the cycle of life. Some died without bleeding. There are bloods."

Everything that Canda said was Sanubari confessing the truth. But Sanubari was still afraid. He still has many mistakes. He is still very poor. He was afraid of falling to a worse place.

"All of this has been predetermined destiny. No one can avoid it. We can only prepare well so that there is no regret as death approaches. Me, you, your father, friends, and everyone around you will definitely experience it."

"I'm a killer." Sanubari's voice whirled, almost inaudible. Then, he fell silent again.

Those are two surprising words. Canda wasn't always with Sanubari. He had no idea what Sanubari was going through.

He only heard from Aeneas that Sanubari saw the death of his mother, sister, and Matilda directly. All three were killed. It could be that Sanubari is now blaming himself for the disaster that occurred. That's the assumption, Canda.

Moreover, Kelana once said that the family of the child was once discriminated against because he was born different. While from Damiyan and other Sanubari friends, Canda only heard that Sanubari several times trapped in conditions that endanger lives.

Canda draws the conclusion from all of that. He kept trying to calm down and say something as neutral as possible so as not to seem judgmental.

"One time you make a mistake does not mean you are always wrong. Without mistakes, people will not learn to be right. Mistakes are part of life and learning. There is always an apology and forgiveness for that.

Your father and I have made mistakes. It might be worse, or even bigger than you did, but we can't continue to be shackled by regrets.

We have a family. If we continue to fall, who will take care of our family? Zunta is still very small. He needs my love.

Your father has you. He must have kept moving forward for you. There is always time to improve, even if time cannot be reversed.

Ah, sorry! I became a long story. How're you? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Again, there was no reply from Sanubari. Canda seemed patronizing in Sanubari's ears, even though the old man was careful. Thus, the spirit of rejection in Sanubari makes him silent.

"You're great, Sanu! You can go through tough days alone. I can't be like you. Without Zunta, maybe I wouldn't be able to get here. I'm amazed by your independence."

Canda's praise made Sanubari wonder, is he really that great, is he really that strong. He's happy to hear that. At the same time, the expectations of others being too high towards him stirred up a restlessness of their own.

Jokingly read that. He had seen a smile from Sanubari, but it instantly disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"In the end, you're the one who best understands how much you're capable of. No need to force yourself to satisfy others. People can be a thousand-faced, and you can be tired yourself if you obey everything. There are times when we need to be indifferent to the environment, but my compliments to you are sincere." Canda laughed, trying to melt the atmosphere so that Sanubari was not too tense.

"You have to accept your fear as a comrade in order to be calmer, Sanu!" continued.

Joke has spoken too much today. He decided to end the session this time. The room was silent for a moment.
