While in the village after the departure of Damar, soon Mbah Bayan went to meet Ratna's mother Damar.
"Well, does anyone know where Damar's mother is?" ask Mbah Bayan
Silent, no one knew at all including the Kurdish mang. Until the sound of Kemal from behind spread their silence, Damar had told a lot to Kemal Damar's childhood friend.
"I know Mbah." said Kemal walked over followed by Mahendra yany walk behind Kemal
"Serious." said Mbah Bayan make sure
"Let's go, but I don't know exactly where we'll ask the villagers" Kemal said
"I know the house" said Mahendra straight chimed in
"Yowes, let's get there now" Bayan said
They also went with Mbah Bayan hugged by Kemal, while Mahendra pedaled his own bike. They went hand in hand, no one spoke all the way only in silence.
Until after some time, they finally reached the village of Sumbul.
"Let's just go straight to Mbah, let me deliver" said Mahendra as he pedaled his bike ahead so that Kemal could follow from behind
Mbah Bayan just nodded, he indeed had to quickly tell Ratna Damar's mother. Because Mbah Bayan knows, if Damar and Mbah Sastro have arrived then it is different time.
Of course, because nature man and nature goib different time. Sometimes there are people who disappear in the nature of goib has been months, but in nature humans may still be a few minutes and vice versa.
There are also those that disappear only a few minutes, but in the human realm it has been many years. Not long they pedaled bicycles, they also arrived at the stage home which can be said to be quite large.
"This is her house?" ask Mbah Bayan to make sure
"Let's go." said Mahendra
"You just wait here." Bayan said to the two
After Kemal and Mahendra nodded, Bayan got off his bike and walked to the door. Then, immediately Mbah Bayan knocked her slowly.
Tok tok tok tok
Tok tok tok tok
There was no long sound of movement from inside, then the door was opened.
Krieett
Appearing the look of a middle-aged woman who was surprised to see Mbah Bayan, of course her mother Damar remembered and knew the purpose of mbah Bayan came to her.
"What's wrong?" ask Damar's mother to make sure
"Ohh, please come in first" he said again
"No need to stumble, not long. Mbah just wants to say that, that it's time" said Mbah Bayan
Even though his mother Damar already knew and strengthened his heart, still he would be fragile. Because of which mother willingly left by her only child, Sekar is no longer living Damar her remaining child.
Unknowingly, even his eyes had already dewy. Maybe once a blink of tears will melt wet the cheeks, then his mother Damar nodded slowly and tried hard.
"You must be patient, you must go home first" said Mbah Bayan who immediately approached Kemal
"Well, where's Mahendra going?" ask Mbah Bayan
"Having gone home first Mbah, his house is around here." said Kemal
"Yowes, let's go home." take Bayan
After making sure they had gone home, his mother Damar also closed the door again. Then he immediately entered his room, after closing and locking the door of his room he immediately sat leaning against the door.
Not long after, the cry that he had been holding back finally broke out as well. His mother Damar cried as much as he could without a sound, for fear that mbok Sri would hear.
"Gusti, I already knew sooner or later it would happen. But, why does it hurt so much." muttered his mother Damar interrupted sobbing
Her memory re-enlightened a long time ago, Yadi her husband and mother Damar had been married for three years but not yet blessed with a child.
...****************...
Before and now, there was no hospital. In fact, the clinic's midwives just don't exist. They only try natural remedies such as drinking spices, and various others but have not been blessed with a child.
Even Mr. mantri used to say if his mother Damar could not have children alias barren, hearing that both partners felt hurt. Because they already have no other relatives, it is natural that they expect the presence of a baby.
"How about this sir, barren mother hiks. I sincerely sir, sincere mother if you marry again" said his mother Damar at the time
"Ssttt, you don't talk about it anyway. I will not marry again, my dear father is the same mother as she is. So you won't stay with mom, we don't give up." said Yadi calm his wife
Days passed, but they did not give up and continued to do natural treatment. Until when the two couples gave up, at night at 12:00 an old man came to them.
"Can we help you?" ask Ratna
"You will contain nduk" said the old man without answering Ratna's question
Deg
The blood of both partners rippled.
"A...What's mbah?" tanya Ratna nervously made sure
"You will be pregnant, but the child is the child of choice. The boy I chose to save the village one day, when he was 25 years old I would take him...
But you take it easy nduk, after the child is born you will be able to conceive again so that you are not lonely when I bring one" said the old man
...****************...
"How now, I will be lonely hyks hyks." murmured his mother Damar lamenting his fate
"Will I be alone until death approaches."
Then the crying again sounded soft, his mother Damar seemed to pat his chest that felt tight.
"Mom wishes you had made it before death to pick up your mother son."
His gaze was getting blurry, his eyes were even already cawed fireflies. He felt a headache and felt heavy, until dark.
While outside the room, seen mbok Sri walk up to the room occupied by her mother Damar.
"Ratna, let's eat." said mbok Sri while calling
But still, there is no truth. Mbok Sri then opened the room door but it felt heavy, like something was stuck.
"Kok like someone is blocking yo." murmured mbok Sri
Do not take a headache, mbok Sri again opened the door by exerting half her energy.
"Yes Allah Gusti." cried mbok Sri
"You why anyway." said mbok Sri again while lifting his mother's slender body Damar towards the bed
Then mbok Sri ran towards the kitchen, not long back in the room with a glass of tea. Mbok Sri immediately splashed water on the face of his mother Damar, making him slightly blinked.
"I why mbak yu?" asked Damar's mother in a weak voice
"It should be me anyway, you why can faint near the door" said mbok Sri
Damar's mother seemed to remember.
"Wes, you rest first" said mbok Sri
His mother Damar just nodded, then mbok Sri immediately came out of the room.
