The House in the Middle of Sawah

Sing family tripe village

The sound of the cock and snail woke me up. My body felt sick and stiff because it was difficult to sleep all night. I missed the dawn Adhan, visible from the wind hole - the sunlight is too bright. It must be quite noon.

I walked out of the room, yawned wide and stretched myself. Apparently in front of the television Lik Diran still sleep soundly, while the Father fell asleep on the sofa. I opened the front door, direct sunlight burst in, waking up Mr and Lik Diran.

"Hooaahhmmm. . .What time is it", Lek Diran rubbed his eyes.

"Half seven Likk", I saw a large wall clock in the middle of the living room wall.

"Kok can a house wake up all day?", Lik Diran bobbing head. I went from the sofa, to the room occupied by Ibuk and his sister.

"Bah Kung, have not yet returned to Lik?", I asked, remembering Mbah Kadir who was said to be meditating on a hill of beads.

"Not yet, wong the door is not the key from the inside. You were the one who opened. Kok yo until this hour has not come home yet, po need not follow up later", Lik Diran turn off the tv. The tv was on all night.

Bapak and Ibuk came out of the room holding a sister who looked improved. My sister looks happier.

"I wonder, how can his sleep pules until wake up bad luck. Though wes kulino (already used to) before dawn woke up to cook", Ibuk muttered to himself. So it turns out that everyone this time mbangkong aka wake up bad luck.

"Eh, Mbah Kung hasn't come home yet Ran?", I asked Lik Diran.

"Not Kang, try not to follow e wong soon not far away anyway. I don't shower yet", Lik Diran seems worried. Just imagine, a grandfather grandfather in his eighties, overnight was on a hill.

"Sopo sing arep mbok susul (Who do you want to pick up)?", Mbah Kadir suddenly appeared from the back house suddenly. I, Father, Lik Diran and Ibuk were quite shocked by his sudden arrival.

"Lhoh Kung, when are you coming home? Just where did it go?", Lik Diran asked Mbah Kadir.

I thought it was magical. The front door was locked from the moment I opened it. The key is a type of slot door lock. The only way to get into the house is through that door. How could Mbah Kadir be in the back house?

"Oiya Kung, Kakang wanted to say", Lik Diran immediately shifted the focus of the conversation, because the previous question did not get a response from his master.

"Come nang mah mburi (come to the back house)", Mbah Kadir turned his body, stepping back to the back house. Three men looked at each other and followed behind Mbah Kadir. I want to come, I need to know what's going on.

Mbah Kadir sat on his rocking chair. Take a pack of tobacco and cloves, roll them with corn or cobot skin. Be the flagship cigarette of this old man, kobot cigarette. Turn on the lighter, then take a deep sip in the smoke from its combustion.

"Even though you haven't told me, I understand, the house is starting to go wrong. Already not elingne (remember), if not mbok kasih sajen every thursday wage tolu, it will be problematic. You know that this whole place used to be a gedhe (forest forest)", Mbah Kadir looked at me and the Father, firmly.

"I was malem trying to find a clue as to how. Because who wants to take over your place, not just one two, but many. If you can see, you'll be horrified. That's now a lot gathered around your house", Mbah Kadir looks really serious. Had it occurred to me, whether this one Mbah can not be another expression unless it looks angry?

"Terus piye Kung, I didn't move that way", I look impatient to comment.

"Siji. Kowe kabeh kudu eling, we're a strong family. Sing family tripe village kene. Ojo ngetokne your yen is weak! ", (One message. All must remember, we are a strong family, a family that opened this village. Don't show your weakness) Mbah Kadir looks angry.

"I'm worried about my wife's son Kung. Lek why napa, what happened how?", the voice of the Father vibrated.

"Yen Kowe moved Iku artine lost, blush. Just trust this Father of yours. Manut o karo. Yen kowe mekso moving your life would be miserable", Mbah Kung said, which sounded like a threat to me.

"Wes Kang, while you're staying here. Let Mbah Kung ngupakara (do something) the house is yes ", Lik Diran tried to give a solution

"Makane kan wes no omongi biyen. Kowe sinau o ngmu ku, wes dadi your destiny dadi my successor (Makanya would not tell you first. You learn o this science, it is your destiny to be my successor)", Mbah Kadir continued, grumbling. Father just shut up.

"Keep you, Dani. .ojo wani wani recklessly meddled in this affair. You're not yet time. Luwih rickshaw you shut up and just wait, don't ask much. One of the sing wants to call my house, someone likes you. Ojo recklessly", Mbah Kadir glared warning me.

Glug. I swallowed spit. I'm liked by that creature? It's always me who can see "them".

"Kok can Dani be liked so much Mbah Kung? Why?", I asked, representing my curiosity.

"Lha asked me. Ask the same question dedemit e", Mbah Kadir replied ketus.

"Already, now you're out of here. I'm gonna take a break. Mbok thought the literacy of a full night was not tired. I am old, there should be a substitute to do this kind of thing", Mbah Kung Kadir still grutu.

I, Mr and Lik Diran immediately turned right disband the line. Back to the front house, Lik Diran's main house. My sister looks cheerful already, sitting watching television morning cartoon program. While Ibuk next to the sister is seen cutting the leaves of the fret to be cooked.

"Lik, I was thinking in the front garden. Make me for breakfast later. Didn't you?", I asked Lik Diran.

"Owala iyo mbak yuu, not pa pa pa. Anyway you're all here consider your own home. This was also the home of his father Dani. In delicious no. I want to wander around, look at the rice fields first, let my brain catch up", Lik Diran smiled, friendly. I was so surprised, with the nature of Mbah Kung as hard and fierce as that Lik Diran who is one of his children has a different nature of 360 degrees. So curious, my daughter Mbah used to be what she was like. Because he was no longer there when I was born.
