After the prayer, they left for the city. Harvest this time, everything was sold by Hisya. The money will be saved. And one day he hoped, may grandma change her mind and want to leave the forest, and live in the city, at least do not live in the forest.
One sack of red ginger was on Samuel's shoulders. Estimated weight, there are about 75 kg. Pretty heavy for the size of inanimate objects, transported in sacks. But Samuel didn't show that he couldn't take her. He felt difficulty bringing the red ginger. Because his body has not fully recovered. The foot of the former shot, can indeed walk and run. But not for a long time.
"Aauuww...!" His terpleset, the forest they go through the road is quite slippery.
The Hua... The Hua.. The Hua..
When he fell, Nisya even hit Ismail's body which he was carrying sideways. Be, Ishmael cried.
Bruuggkk
Samuel reflexively throws the ginger he shoulders in any direction. He was so strong that he threw it, that the sack was torn, and made the ginger come out of the sack, and scattered on the ground. He did not care about ginger, which he feared was His salvation.
"You're okay?" Ask the worried looking man, checking his state, from head to toe.
"It's okay." Sahut Nisya, while hugging the child who is still crying in his carrier.
"Thank God, come on, come on, come with me." Samuel pulls Samuel out of his sling. Because Nisha was reluctant to hand Ishmael over to Samuel.
While the grandmother, busy putting ginger into a spare sack that he prepared. He has memorized the situation, if out of the forest that takes a journey of 4 to 5 hours. It could even be more, if they often stop for a break.
"Don't be afraid, son, I'll always take care of you!" samuel said with teary eyes. While living in the woods with them. Samuel turned into a man full of compassion and compassion.
Hu hu hu
Ishmael was still weeping in Samuel's arms.
"Is there a pain, dear?" Samuel examined all the bodies of Ishmael. Who knows if someone sprained, when Hisya fell because of a slip. Sure enough, Ishmael's right leg was flushed and swollen, right at his ankle.
""Aauuww. .. Atit Papa's... Atits...!" Ishmael grimaced with pain.
"Dear baby, hold it. I'll take the pain away." Samuel said, massaging Ishmael's feet gently. "
Hisya who was also massaging his legs, due to a slight pain when falling, continued to pay attention to the clingy Samuel who looked affectionate massaging Ismail's sprained leg. There was the deepest recess of his heart, he was actually sympathetic to Samuel. But, somehow he also hated that man. I don't know, why, he doesn't know. While with them, Samuel was always kind to him.
"This is my grandmother's, let me heal your feet baby!" now he came to Samuel and Ishmael. The grandmother took Ishmael from Samuel's arms.
"Samuel you scatter that ginger. Let the grandmother take care of Ismail's leg." said the gentle grandmother.
"Yes Grandma!" Samuel also put the scattered ginger into the sack. His gaze occasionally drifted towards Nisha, who was now calming the weeping Ishmael, because he was massaged by his grandmother.
Samuell's heart was raging violently at this moment. Somehow he felt very sorry for Hisya, his grandmother and Ismail.The three men had felt the suffering of living in the forest. According to him, the choice of grandmother to live in the forest is not right. But they were driven out of the village. Grandma who had primitive thoughts did not dare to live in the city, but Nisya the grandson had often invited the grandmother to live in the city.
Actually, Samuel was still curious about Hisya. The woman is either Grandma's granddaughter or not.
Ishmael, tired of crying, asked for a suckle. The lyrics of Samuel
Samuel did not respond to Hisya's words. That made her a little upset.
"Samuel sir, please get behind us!" nisa said again in a loud voice.
"What..?" His loud voice finally dawned on Samuel.
Actually Samuel did not focus on paying attention to what Hisya was doing with Ismail at this time. The man is more likely to daydream, thinking about who Nisa really is, because he thinks Nisya is not at all similar to grandma. And Hisa was like, an educated woman. It could be seen from his way of speaking and his civilized body language.
"Oowww.. Yes Dek!" Samuel twisted his body, turning his back to Nisha who was breastfeeding Isamil
"She, it looks like it's going to rain." Grandma was full of worries. Grandma looked at the already overcast sky.
"Mom, we have to get there fast. Don't let us rain. At least, we should get to the settlement. Who knows, someone's kind enough to give us a ride."
Samuel, who turned his back on the two women, continued to sharpen his hearing. He eavesdropped on Nisa and the grandmother. Samuel's heart ached Mbak was sliced to hear the conversation of Nisya and grandmother. The life that Nisya and grandma lived was so attentive all this time. To get out of the forest alone must travel 5 to 6 hours on foot. It is a very painful life struggle.
"Samuel, we're leaving!" Said Grandma slowly. In the woods you can't talk hard.
"I, yes, Grandma!" Samuel immediately lifted the sack of red ginger on his shoulder.
"Sir, please tie the linen!" Yes, even though she is a mother. He is not good at carrying children. He often fell while carrying Ishmael.
Grandma tied Ismail's sackcloth. They stepped up, continuing their journey. With the position, grandma in front, as a guide. Hisya in the middle and Samuel in the back.
"Piluk bah... Sump sump...!" Ismail, who was carried by Nisha, kept looking back, asking Samuel to joke. Of course, Samuel responded to Ishmael's joke.
"Haha... Haha... Pa..!" Ismail laughs pleasure. He was excited when he was carried. That made it difficult for Hisya to walk while holding Ismail.
"Son, it's been her pricking. We will fall again!"
"Aauuww...!" Only then did Nisya say Prihal fell, his shoes stuck in the grass. That made him fall.
This time Samuel put down his luggage slowly. He understands the situation. The trip this time, for Samuel is similar to Trekking event a long travel and climbing activity. Walk in nature accompanied by weather and harsh environmental conditions, ranging from steep slopes to having to walk uphill to heights. Yeah, they've all been through. In fact, they have met many forest animals.
"I will carry Ishmael!" pinta Samuel gently. For some reason, the soul protecting him is so great in Hisya. If only, Nisha would have welcomed every help of Samuel. He'll be so happy.
"Ta, but you, bring a sack." His law is weak. The woman was already exhausted. Sweat had washed his clothes.
Samuel looked sadly at Nisya and grandma. I don't think he could see these two women suffering like this.
"Yes, I can still carry Ismail, and carry ginger in that sack as well." Said Samuel, staring at the sack containing Ginger.
