The In-Law Choices

Chapter 173 old couple

(Two months later)

In a small hut made of woven bamboo and rattan lay a man with a poster of a very thin body and lying limp on a mat made of woven nipah leaves. All over his body in a dressing of leaves that are already in the smooth right then placed on the wounds - bruises and incisions that are on his body.

Two devoted grandparents were beside her in turns to care for and feed the lathe to her mouth which was forced to open. If not, then the man would have starved to death. Ever since he was brought in this shack, the man immediately fainted and never woke up again until now. Only a heartbeat and a slow roar of breath signaled the man was still alive and alive.

"Cleanness with this child yes, ma'am. He must be in pursuit of a criminal, if we tell anyone else about his whereabouts his life must be in danger...". Imbuh old grandmother who is often called Nek Darmi.

"But until when do we take care of her, deck? Both of us are old enough to take care of her. Fortunately our neighbors are kind to always ask our rice is still there or has been exhausted, otherwise we may also have died of hunger. Every day eat porridge with rice only, to cook vegetables we are quite tired all day cooking....". Reply to the husband called Nek Suryo by the surrounding residents.

"What you said, Mom. The leaves to bandage his wounds are also almost exhausted around here, too, if you want to take it, you have to go to the forest first and who will we ask for help if we both have no children in this world...". Lirih Nek Darmi is sad.

They are an old couple who are not given by God for the gift of children. But even so their lives are always peaceful although sometimes sad also if they remember they are not caring. But luckily they complement each other and take care of each other. Residents around are concerned about the condition of the old couple, always living alone in their small hut.

But there are also salutes with their love story, although often in the face of distress but they still look good - fine and still like the most harmonious and romantic couple.

"We just pray he quickly realized yes, deck. So that if I am called to the divine first to face him, may he be willing to keep you for me". Imbuh Nek Suryo smiled warmly looking at his beloved wife.

This is what is called true love. Although the face of each partner is not like it used to be, the skin throughout the tub has been filled with wrinkles but for them their partner is the most perfect creature in their eyes.

"It's that bilanh! I don't want to know we have to be together, I don't want to be alone in this world. If necessary, let me go first". Nek Darmi began to shed tears when he talked about death..

"But we don't know what's going to happen later on, deck. Our age no one knows, we can only resign, cannot regulate what has become the divine provision. If you go first then you must be steadfast. ..". Sahut nek Suryo tried to calm his beloved wife. His embrace put the wife to sleep, doing small activities alone had made the old woman exhausted.

Nek Suryo who also wanted to rest slowly lay his wife's body on the mat and also lay her body beside the wife. Both of them immediately dissolved in their dreams.

Luckily Dilan and the others did not force their way into their hut and continued looking elsewhere so that the nek Suryo and nek Darmi could breathe a sigh of relief. The old couple thought that the group of people were trying to harm the man they were helping so they would prefer to keep quiet for the man's safety. They were also less sure if the man they were looking for was the man they had brought home, because the man was not found there but found in the garden behind their hut.

Moments after the couple fell asleep, the skinny man's fingers moved slowly his eyes also gradually opened. "Ouch!". His groaning while holding his head that feels throbbing pain.

The man slowly sat down and felt all over his body ache due to bruises and incisions of sharp objects or twigs. His eyes circled every corner of the room, in that little hut he was in care for several months. Suddenly the man was shocked to see two old men who were lying not far from his place now.

"It must be those who have taken care of me. They must be exhausted at this twilight age and take care of a man like me...". The man felt and saw his body find the wound was not a little dry and some left only black marks.

He found beside his pillow was a bowl of empty porridge that was almost finished. Trying to taste and arrived - suddenly her tears dripped profusely to her cheeks. She had never eaten this kind of food in a lifetime but did not expect that it was this food that had filled her stomach during her time in this hut. Without feeling the porridge in the bowl was finished he ate with tears haru.

He then shifted his seat closer towards the two grandmothers - the slumbering grandmother. Every inch of their body could not be separated from the man's vision, the legs were full of wounds, the body was no longer fleshy, the skin was already wrinkled, and the skin was wrinkled, the white hair on the entirety of their heads made the man cry even louder.

Although he did not know how long he had been here but he was sure if he had long enough to trouble the old couple before him. The wounds on his body as evidence, the gunshot marks on his back must have taken him at least a month more to dry what else with this simple treatment, he said, who only use the leaves for treatment and only eat salty porridge as a swallow drug is definitely takes a long time to heal.

"We're conscious, cu". Nek Darmi woke up hearing sobs from young people he treated with all his heart.

The man nodded slowly answering the old grandmother question before him. Nek Darmi tried to get up and wanted to check on the young man's wounds but he just sat down the man hugged him right away

Nek Darmi was stunned, he never got a warm hug from anyone other than his own husband. Feeling moved, Grandma Darmi also shed tears in the man's arms.

"Thank you very much Grandma, for taking care of me all this time". The man haru..

"Tie him!". Suddenly there was a hoarse voice asking the man to take off his embrace.
