Shackled Two Flavors

Arriving In The Village

I was about to go ask the bus driver but I had not gotten off the bus yet there was a sound that was not strange calling me.

"A idiot girl, here's your bag" said the annoying man.

When I turned back I thought he must be that annoying guy, who else would dare to call me like that other than him, with a sour face I took my bag and thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you" I said, grabbing the bag violently.

Feeling weak I decided not to get off the bus and sat down next to the annoying guy, I thought the man was going down just like the rest of the passengers but it turned out that until the other passengers started boarding the bus again he didn't seem to be getting out of his seat at all.

I was really limp and it felt like I could no longer continue this tiring journey, at the restaurant I also forgot to buy medicine and snacks, too, after all, the hunger has been missed my stomach really can not be compromised, he said, inevitably I have to ask for medicine from the man because only he I know carries the mag medicine that I usually eat, maybe by eating the medicine I will feel better.

But I hesitated when I wanted to ask for the medicine back, remembering the words I had spoken to him before, but I desperately needed the medicine otherwise what about my fate, not to mention the journey is still quite far away, maybe I can't help it, I can't help it,

I had to vent.

"Ekhmmm.hey, I want to ask for the medicine" I said worriedly,

"what medicine?, didn't you say you couldn't take anything from a stranger?" he said to reverse my previous words,

"ti..no...ahh.no...that's...anu.....I really can't help it anymore, if I vomit next to you you you won't feel comfortable either?, right?, so where to give the medicine so that I don't vomit" I said reasoned.

Without saying a word the man gave me the medicine and gave me a bottle of mineral water, I immediately took it and took the medicine immediately, some time after taking the medicine it felt like my stomach was much better, my stomach was much better, I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned my body against the back of the chair, not feeling I was sound asleep until I did not realize that I was almost at my destination.

Someone woke me up and asked me for a bus fare and reminded me that my destination was almost there, I immediately wiped my face and gave the person money, when I looked to the side I just realized the annoying man had apparently gone down first and the bus had stopped at my terminal and immediately went down, took a suitcase and immediately went to my grandmother's house, faintly I still remember the area because I used to come there before my grandmother died, fortunately my memory is still functioning well, so I have no trouble finding my grandmother's home address.

After getting off the bus I started walking down the street and looking for public transportation to get to the village, but because it is now half eleven o'clock so it is a bit difficult for me to find public transportation, looks pretty quiet streets there are only a few vehicles that look traffic occasionally, I began to feel afraid, especially I was alone who walked through this road, I held my bag and suitcase tightly and started walking faster, somehow I felt like someone was following me from behind, I can clearly feel it even though I did not dare to look and check it I just kept walking faster until finally arrived at the village gate and there were some residents who were sitting playing cards at the patrol station, I immediately approached them and did not forget to ask for my destination address.

"Excuse me, would you like to ask if this is Simorangkir village?" ask me while handing over a piece of paper containing a detailed address,

"oh yes really neng, this is Simorangkir village, woo from the city?" said one of the fathers who was wearing a sarong.

I nodded and smiled faintly, the father even offered services to take me to my destination, I have refused gently because I did not want to bother but the father insisted on the reason for safety.

"ahh no need to bother sir, let me go alone thank you for telling the way" I said trying to refuse, sir,

"ehhh the enengmah I have anter aja well, later afraid there are bad people on the road, from here the place is quite far away already so lonely streets" said the father seriously.

Hearing those words my voice instantly blurted out somewhere, especially when on the road I felt someone was following me I was forced to agree to the offer of the father to take me home, at first I also felt afraid of the father but it turns out he was a good person and was just watching, I was escorted by him to the front door of the house and it appears on the terrace that there are already uncle Seto and bi Ade who have been waiting for my arrival.

Uncle Seto and bi Ade were neighbors and friends of grandma since childhood, I know it from mom and dad, he said, before they had also told me that I would be entrusted to bi Ade and uncle Seto, at least I was not really alone in a place far from home, when I just arrived bi Ade and uncle Seto welcomed me and immediately took over my suitcase they invited me to go into the house and did not forget to thank the father who had brought me earlier, when entering the house I thought it would be messy and dusty because it was a long time after the departure of the grandmother no one took care of the house, seeing me cling to staring at the whole house Uncle Seto invited me to sit down and bi Ade served me warm tea.

"Let's sit down first neng, definitely cape yah" said uncle Seto, said,

"yes the journey is quite tiring" I said with a faint smile.

"This ring is drunk first so that the anget tea does not catch a cold" said bi Ade while handing him a glass of warm tea.

"Thank you bi" I answered and grabbed it.

I drank the warm tea until I had half a glass left then I started asking uncle Seto and bi Ade about the school I would attend later.

"Oh yes aunt uncle, I will go to school where, earlier on walking here I did not see any school?" I said ask,

"in this village there is indeed no neng school, later pengteng school in the next village, quite close to neng, usually aunts go there using a bicycle with uncle, uncle, because if the aunt's walk is not strong understand it is old" said bi Ade with friendly,

"oh so yes bi, unfortunately Lita can not use a bi bike, so maybe later it will always be a walk when going to school" I replied a little sad, a little sad,

"no papa neng, after all a lot of kok from this village, even almost all of them walk, later on it will also be used to the environment here" said bi Ade while stroking my head.

I nodded with a smile at Bi Ade, her friendly and warm attitude made me a little treated and feel comfortable being there.

After helping me to get my clothes and some things uncle Seto and bi Adepun say goodbye and I immediately prepare to sleep, as usual before going to bed I always wash my face, hands and feet first, after that, I brushed my teeth and began to sleep comfortably.

When I lay my body on the bed I miss my room, I miss the atmosphere there, maybe later I will also miss hearing mother's screams, now I have to start setting the alarm in the morning so as not to wake up, here I live alone and forced to be independent, he said, although there are uncle Seto and bi Ade but they are also not who, just my grandmother's best friend and neighbor at this time, I obviously do not want to trouble others I just know
