Santri Famiglia's

Deaths

Death is so painful. Sanubari had never felt what it was like to have a life pulled from the body. However, he understood that it seemed to be a tremendous torture.

The entire body feels very painful even though it only gets a light touch of the tip of the index finger without energy. That's what Sanubari's grandfather has been complaining about these few days. He screamed, groaning in pain as Sanubari stroked his body. As if being torn apart by wild beasts, grandfather continued to thrash, refusing Sanubari's service. Not infrequently Sanubari was hit by a flick of the hand until it fell.

Two weeks Sanubari was waiting for him. During that time he did not go to school. He was expelled from the school due to a slander launched by the Aldin gang. Though the accident at that time was purely accidental because of the work of Aldin himself. However, it was still Sanubari who had to accept the sap.

He and his mother did not protest. Nor do they demand justice because they know it is in vain. They had no witnesses to defend and release Sanubari from the charges. The facts will be reversed and make it more difficult for a small person like the Sanubari family to resist.

Giving up is the right choice. At least for the Sanubari family to have peace. Although now Sanubari only has one activity for sure. That is, taking care of his hard-sick grandfather.

Among his days accompanying Grandfather, today was the scariest day. Grandpa could no longer move. Even if you just move your fingertips. It's like difficulty breathing. Mouth tightly clenched as if being glued and locked.

"Heh. Heh. Heh."

Only that voice was successfully released by his shuara ribbon. He has absolutely no power to speak. His eyes glare. I don't know what he's looking at.

"Sir, dahar did not say that Supados left saras?"

(Sir, eat a lot of yes, so healthy quickly?)

Sanum scoops the porridge a little. He tried to open his mouth with his left hand. While Sanubari sat behind the Grandfather to support his body. Both hands held Grandpa's right and left arms so as not to collapse sideways.

"Heh. Heh."

However, the voice sounded louder and louder than Grandfather. Food that was trying to be crammed was spilled. Sanubari's mother immediately took a handkerchief and wiped it.

"Abot."

(Weight.)

Sanubari's hand shook. He could no longer bear the weight of his grandfather's body.

"Diturokne maneh ae, Le!"

(Be put to bed again, son!)

Sanuum helped support his father's body with his hands. Sanubari. They put the old man's body to sleep slowly.

Four hours they sat with the lying body. The man's voice sounded weak as if it was starting to calm down. His eyes began to close. But there is something unusual.

"Kok kakung malih ngorok, yo? Kakung ora tau ngorok lo. Suarane koyok wong cold—irunge buntet wae."

(So grandpa snores, huh? Grandpa never snored. Her voice was like a cold person her nose was just clogged.)

The innocent words of his son made Sanum anxious. He was afraid that what he feared would happen today. Justright. After a few minutes, the old raga no longer makes a sound.

Gently Sanum tried to call, "Pak ... Mr ... Sir?"

But there is no lawfulness. Sanum tried to touch his father's hand but there was no scream of pain. Water started to pool in his eyes.

Sanum checked his father's breath and heartbeat. There was no sign the organ was still functioning. Life has been pulled perfectly from its body. Suddenly, Sanum's cry broke. The only old man left now left her.

Sanubari still did not understand why his mother was so sickened. In his eyes, Grandpa seemed to be sleeping. The mother should be relieved that Grandpa had calmed down. However, his reaction was reversed.

Sanum wipes away the tears and says, "Le, 'cause boy kene sek, yo! No word on Tonggo being held captive."

(Son, you're here first, yeah! I'll tell the neighbors first.)

Sanubari. He hugged his mother's arm. The orange spray had barged through the ranks of wood like bars. Soon the sky will darken. Sanubari did not dare to be left alone with his grandfather who he thought turned into a creepy some days. Especially in the darkness of the night with only an amber as a source of illumination.

"Malu, Mommy!"

(Come, Mom!)

Sanum looked at his begging son and his father's body in turn. His father's body was not guarded if Sanubari went with him. On the other hand, he could not bear to leave Sanubari alone. Eventually, Sanum allowed Sanubari to come along.

"Close the window, Le!"

(Close the window, son!)

Sanubari nodded in response to his mother's order. He ran across the cot, walking in a narrow gap between the cot and the woven bamboo wall to seal the wooden window. Sanum almost forgot to cover up his father's body. He also spread a jarit to cover the corpse.

The two rushed out of that simple hut. They headed for the nearest house—a quite luxurious house that was right in front of their hut. It was Sanum's employer's house. A place where sometimes he becomes a washing worker/iron.

Sanum and Sanubari took off their flip-flops, stepping towards the front door. Three times Sanum knocked on the door while calling the owner of the house.

"Mom, Arti Ma'am, please, Ma'am!"

Not long after, the door opened. Meaning thoughtfully asked, "Ono opo to?"

(What the hell is it?)

"Mr Sedo, Ma'am."

(Father died, Mother.)

"La, continue to opo my ambek affair? Konu urusono dewe!"

(Well, what does that have to do with me? Take care of it yourself!)

Meaning of closing the door again. Though Sanum had not been able to express the purpose of his arrival. They rushed to another neighbor.

Many refused to help take care of Sanubari's grandfather's body. Because, the majority of the population believes the slanted news about the Sanubari family. They do not want to be affected and also become victims of the surrogacy that is said to be done by Sanubari's mother until pregnant with the genie.

The rumors were increasingly considered true when Sanubari was born. Sanubari's green irises are associated with occult things. I don't know who started the news of this kind of bird to make the Sanubari family suffered difficulties.

Only those who understand that the jinn and humans cannot possibly unite can still think more openly. They do not swallow the news that is not yet sure the truth. After a long journey, the mother and child finally met such a person. The couple welcomed their arrival well. Sanum also told about his father's death.

"Father ngeterne Sanum to the grave keeper sek, yo! Kabarono ustaz Idris Karo liyane Ben endang taken care of!"

((Father of Sanum to the grave digger first, yes! Tell ustaz Idris and the others to be taken care of quickly!)

"Ready, sir," replied Tara who directly called the people in question.

While Rudy the Husband took the keys to the motor. Then, he went to the kitchen - the place where the bike was parked. A few seconds later the roar of the motor was heard, followed by the sound of a horn.

"San, Sanum, let's go!"

(San, Sanum, let's go!)

Rudy called from outside the house. Sanum said goodbye to Tara. He and Sanubari went out of the house and went up to the bonfire. They glide to the grave digger's house through the paving streets with shady trees on the right-left side of the road. Arriving at the grave digger's house, Sanum expresses his intentions without further ado.

"Total bea sedoyo wolong Yuto was terimo in order. Menawi panjenengan namung mbetahaken pacul nggih sumangga services! Beanipun saking Kulo single yuto. Jenengan saged milih damelemah piyambak utawi mausoleum deso yard."

(Total cost of all eight million has been received in order. If you only need the services of a digger, yes please! It costs a million. You can choose to use your own land or village burial ground.)

Sanum was astonished to hear Ridwan the Grave Digger's explanation. Not unexpectedly he was even offered a high enough price for the management of the corpse. Surely Sanum does not have that much money to cover the cost of a very expensive funeral.

"Namung muturaken the corpse, mosok kados pay sak monten? Mboten saged free to?"

(Just bury the corpse, the cook has to pay that much? Can't be free?)

"Macul Niku damel tenogo Lo. Panjenengan purun nopo pripun menawi welcome damel nanging mboten paid? Wolung Yuto Niku sampun package so saving Kulo. Panjenengan saged angsal regi luwih awis menawi pesen direct Dateng utawi chief caretaker."

(Hoeing it requires energy. Do you want to work but not get paid? Eight million was already a frugal package from me. You can get a higher price when you order directly to the chairman or a caretaker.)

This was the first time Sanubari knew that digging graves could be a profession that resulted. With a single grave, a digger can earn one million, if three people die a day, then in just a few hours it can produce three million.

A very lucrative profession. Sanubari could help his mother's finances with such a large income. Once terbesit ideals wanted to become a grave digger in the mind of Sanubari.

However, after thinking about it, it felt like the job was quite crazy. Tariffs too high will only suffocate small people like himself and his mother. Maybe Sanubari will not bear to withdraw the cost if he is currently in the position of grave digger.

Sanubari knew very well what it was like to be poor. Let alone paying for electricity, for daily meals is not necessarily there. It is selfish of him if he could ask for rewards from people who are stricken.

"Prillion?"

(How?)

The gravedigger stared at the silent Sanum. He was still waiting for the woman's answer without the slightest drop in price.
