Carrying a feeling of guilt, Zack walked through the estate in a definite step but with an empty feeling. He has caused many innocent people to die in vain.
"If I continue to live here, there will be more people who are victims of their cruelty. Danish you do not have the slightest humanity. The people who don't know how to come also you kill just for the sake of your ambition to destroy me...". Zack kept muttering along his path.
"You've come home, son". Tegur mbah Suryo's. Zack's lethargic face became his concern. "Why with you? What happened in the village that made you come home with such a lethargic face? You're not at what - what in the citizens there right?". Read Mbah Suryo's worried..
Zack flinched unexpectedly if his move had already reached the destination. The question of Mbah Suryo who bertubi - tubi makes it more and more unbearable to tell the real thing happened. He did not want his departure to make Mbah Suryo and mboh Darmi to mind.
"There's nothing - what's wrong, I'm just tired of carrying this much groceries". Elak Zack's.
"Oh, here help bring it in, you just rest first. We are cooking rice for us to eat together and also hot water for instant noodles and warm drinks for you to enjoy...". Said Mbah Suryo while seizing one by one black crackle brought by Zack..
"Sorry to bother ya Mbah, then while waiting for cooked rice I will go to the well first shower. It's so hot, it's gonna be a shower now". Zack could not prevent it as he also had to immediately do all his tasks before leaving the two old men.
"But you don't be long because the rice is a while ago cooked, you must be paper from a long way while carrying this much stuff". Mbah Suryo lifted Zack while struggling to drag a black crackle containing about 30 liters of rice and several other items.
Zack headed behind the hut while carrying a sharp machete to slash the large tree hanging in the forest not far from the hut. After about ten minutes, Zack finally found a dry twig and enough saic for one lift back to the hut.
When he was done, Zack caught a big bundle of firewood to take back to the hut. While walking home he also looked for wooden branches that would be collected again. Even though he grew up in the city but since living in the garden around this forest he has been able to overcome the wild animals in the forest thanks to the teaching of Mbah Suryo.
"You're from cuddling firewood, son? You are a hardworking man well, even though you are tired but you still do not want to stay still at home. Proud to know you son". Mboh Darmi was struck by Zack's extremely hard-working attitude.
The man was carrying a pile of firewood on his back and was dribbling a stack also in his sati hand. Although his skin had started to dull and black but Zack's body was getting muscular just by doing heavy work such as lifting wood from the forest and water in the well.
"Mboh can, I am a lazy person first but know you guys I became the figure that is now. Both of you have turned me into a more useful person and are grateful for what I have now. Although only living on a forest plantation like this but with his presence you accompany me I can feel a lot of happiness than living in the city..". Reply Zack while staring fixed mboh Darmi who is still busy preparing food for them to enjoy in the afternoon today..
"Yes, but you still have to go to town, because that's where your real family is. Mboh always prays for you to be blessed by the most loving wherever you are". Imbuh Mboh Darmi trying hard.
He believes that Zack is only entrusted by the creator to entertain them in the rest of their current age. If Zack chooses to return to the city, he must sincerely and steadfastly accept all those decisions because that is also part of his destiny and the husband. Always feel lonely with the absence of offspring among them.
"Not to be sad that way. I can't bear to leave you here for a second. But it's true what Mboh said earlier. I have to keep going back to the city because that's where my real life is, my family lives there. But Mbah and Mboh are also my family...". Zack pulled Mboh Darmi's hand to sit next to him because he knew that right now the old woman was sad.
"You're seducing my wife, yes, Zack! Look out for you well I will not let go of you who have already captured the attention of my beloved wife!". Suddenly Suryo came from behind the door and attacked Zack with words.
Zack and Mboh Darmi throw strange gazes at each other in Suryo's jealous manner. I'm old but his affection for Mboh Darmi beat a couple of lovers in drunk love.
"Ha ha ha". Zack chuckled with Suryo's exaggerated attitude.
"Seriously talk! Get aside don't get too close to your mboh". Firmly Mbah Suryo shifted Zack's seat so that he could sit in the middle - their hands.
"Yes yes. So possessive!". Upset Zack.
Krekk
KreeKK
Suddenly, there was a stomach that asked to be filled.
"Well, listen to me. Since you guys are busy making out here, food until now is not available and worms in my stomach have been asking for food...". Suryo Mbah. "Come on deck, quickly finish your work don't payeni young man this wry smell can - can I starve to death here". Mbah Suryo started dragging his wife's hand into the hut leaving Zack who could only shake & shake his head with his second attitude.
"May you live long. I still want to take care of you two even longer". Zack muttered with a expectant sweet smile.
Finished eating simple dishes ala Mboh Darmi, Zack back to back to complete his task. The pool made by Mbah Suryo with makeshift materials is wood and clay but miraculously the pool can hold a lot of water without any leaking in the slightest. Zack filled the pool with water so it could be used for a week by Mboh Darmi at home. While Mbah Suryo can still walk can bathe in the well without having to bother anymore to transport water to the hut..
"No need to bother like that, cu! I can still lift the water little by little to go home to bathe in the well. So you do not need to lift water back and forth like this, so you feel useless...". This is how Suryo conveys his concern to Zack. He always said words that could offend Zack to stop working.
"Yes, it's also ready. You don't have to be overreacting anymore. I know how you must be worried that I'm tired, right? After all I did all this work every day as well to reshape my burly body that had been lost due to illness. Kan Mbah himself who taught me not to stop practicing so that I quickly mastered the martial arts that taught right, this is also one of the exercises mbah...". Obviously Zack while rubbing his face with a cloth.
"If you're going back to town?".
