THE TUMBAL GIRL
Episode 23
GATHERINGS
A week has passed since the terrible incident happened I went to school but, everything was completely different than usual, all stay away from me including my best friend two days I go to school but as if I was in hell everyone who met me always went away from me not even a few of my friends who
stalking me.
“hey it's the princess who wants to kill her own father?” whispered my friend while glancing sharply and immediately away from me.
I really strengthened my heart these two days, but I really couldn't stand the sight of talita and wilmar
walking with me passed out at that moment.
When I realized I was at home I saw my father talking to my homeroom teacher, then my mother holding my hand crying.
“ibu...” I said softly to mom.
“nak Alhamdulilah you realized” reply mom
When I realized my homeroom teacher was leaving my house, I saw my father's face look wry.
"what is it?" ask me dad
"son, are you okay Dad moving school with your grandfather in the village?" ask my father back without answering my question.
"why yah?" ask me again.
"let's see, son, I think you need to get a new atmosphere so you forget about yesterday's events" he replied carefully.
when I heard that father's words I was silent, my head lowered without realizing that my tears were dripping.
"ok yah" I said to my father while wiping away the tears.
I realized, if my existence would threaten the lives of my father and mother at that time I feel very sad I feel both my parents were afraid of me .
I've arrived at that school, but no one wants to approach me as if I'm a monster in the eyes of a good student teacher even though, no one wants to get close to me, no one wants to get close to me, today was so heavy as if the world was spinning for so long, the sound of the bell home was finally heard with a quick step I left the school.
I walked alone with my head bowed like an invisible man but, suddenly there was a man who bumped into me and for the first time after I was sick there was a person who smiled sincerely at me >< see prologue section ><
I just left the man, for some reason even though this little heart is happy because there are still people who want to smile at me but as if my body strongly rejects the existence of the man.
“Assamualai,....” My regards to the grandfather who stopped and could not continue.
“walaikumsalam, loh nduk already home why say half greetings?” ask grandpa.
I closed my mouth tightly and left grandfather alone, my shoulders felt heavy I also sat on the bedside massaging my shoulders gently before my grandfather came to bring food to me.
“eat nduk, this is the grandfather who cooked first when grandma was still alive grandfather who always cook because your grandmother is sick” said grandfather to me.
I did not answer, not not not wanting to answer but my lips seemed locked not able to speak at all, I also grabbed the plate in Grandfather's hand firmly and immediately devoured the food on the plate.
“(pranggg)” the sound of a plate falling from my hand.
The moment when I ate the rice given by my grandfather, my body shook my toes and hands as if moving by itself in tension.
Grandfather also calmly rubbed the clear water in the glass that he had been holding onto the toes and hands and then rubbed it on my face.
“hhhh grandpa” I said to grandpa.
“Alhamdulilah, finally you can talk nak” reply grandpa.
“(hikss,,hikss) he kek” answered me to grandfather while crying.
“actually what has happened to you?” ask grandpa to me while stroking my head with a softhead
I also quickly told him about everything that happened I saw the face of the flat grandfather as if not surprised to hear my story that grandfather's expression at that time was full of mystery.
