Sebatang Kara's...

Returning...

The night passed, and the morning came. Although the air is cold, it does not prevent me from carrying out my duties as a Muslim who obeys Allah SWT.

I rushed to the kitchen to cook our breakfast. I saw my aunt chopping vegetables and chili.

" What are we cooking?", I asked.

" This morning we cooked fried chicken with sambal terasi and mixed vegetable stew" he said.

" Steady donk bi, Ani aja who made the paste, and chop the vegetables, is the chicken already in ungkep?", I asked.

" It was still in Ni's cauldron, only auntie ungkep" replied the aunt.

" Oh yes, aunt who fried it, let's chop the vegetables Ani continuedin" I said while continuing the work of the unfinished aunt.

" Raihan is still sleeping, Bi?", I asked again.

" Yes, three o'clock in the morning he woke up, and played for a while, just slept again on the swing, your uncle who took care of it", replied the aunt while frying her chicken.

A few minutes later, the menu we had cooked, I served it on the dining table. I took food for my grandmother, and took it to Grandma's room.

" Grandmother, what else?", I asked to see him sitting leaning back and pouting.

" Granny again berdzikir Ni, wear a prayer beads" said the grandmother while showing the prayer beads in her hands.

" I think grandma is reading a spell to make a lot of money" I said with a laugh teasing her.

" Yes Grandma, I will remember my grandmother's message!", I said with confidence.

" Today, we will return to the Old Mountain huh Grandma, because granddaughter-in-law grandmother there is an important business in the village, later after breakfast, we will leave, grandmother who diligently medicated, grandmother, let it heal quickly and can move as usual again", I said encouraging him while feeding him food.

" Yes Ni, grandma will be diligent in medicine, so that later you are born, grandma can accompany you" he replied with a smile.

" Yeah, get well soon, Grandma" I said with a smile on her.

After eating, Grandma took her medicine. I rushed to our bedroom with my grandma's dirty dishes, to see if my husband was awake or not, and I saw that our luggage was tidy, I forgot last night to clean it up, maybe my husband has tidied up our suitcase.

I checked to see if any of our luggage was left behind, but it was all in the suitcase. I rushed out of the room to the kitchen. I saw my husband and uncle having breakfast while chatting, while aunt was feeding Raihan food.

I immediately put the dirty dishes I brought, into the small basin, and hurried to join them for breakfast.

We say goodbye to Grandma, uncle, and aunt, "We leave, Grandma, Uncle, bi, one day we will return to visit grandma, and uncle", I said as I greeted them one by one, so does my husband.

After breakfast, we got ready to go back to my husband's hometown, Old Mountain. After saying goodbye to my grandmother, uncle and aunt, we walked to the roadside in front of my Uncle's house.

A few minutes we waited for the bus to pass, finally there was a bus full of passengers stopping the bus to transport us. We immediately got into the bus and looked for an empty seat near the bus window. After we sat down, the bus driver, put the bus back on.

Finally we will return to the Old Mountain, may my Grandmother recover as soon as possible, I said in my heart.
