Transmigration: The Promise of Echoes

CHAPTER 19 ~ Tapak Tilas ~

Lastri's truck crossed the road nearly two years ago. At that time by riding a transport of the village of Lastri down the road to leave the hometown. Until finally wrong in choosing the next transportation, so because Lastri met the husband and wife couple Wasis and Murni. Who helped him and is now his adoptive parents.

Inside the truck cabin were three people. Exactly the same as what happened at that time. The difference now in the cabin is two young adults and one little girl aged one year and seven months. Lastri, Armen and Gya are in there. The Pure invisible is there. 

As a mother and a woman, Pure is very wise. Intentionally he was not willing to come. He refused to come because there were two reasons. 

Pure will not be able to see Enah will be left again by her biological daughter. Or the second option, which is he who will not be able to if you have to leave Lastri and Gya there. It's really a very difficult choice.

That condition was exactly what Wasis described in the first moments of Lastri being given permission to stay with them. Wasis describes life as a passenger in a leaky lifeboat. Where each passenger will be the decision maker for himself.

There were passengers who jumped into the water, as a result of being impatient or to survive themselves from the leaking lifeboats. Some just hang on to stay on top of the lifeboats while waiting for the final limit. There are even passengers who hope to survive precisely by throwing others into the water. 

However, all the dynamics that occur on top of the lifeboat will still end. Run until the time is declared complete. Ends according to the Creator's decree. 

Over time the leaky lifeboat will still drown. And the people above will still be separated in determining the next decision. The destiny line of God will eventually be the limit of everything.

Lastri's truck can only park on the side of the road, can not enter the yard of the house. Not because it doesn't fit in the inner yard parking lot. The 750-square-meter transmigration house land is enough for that. But over to the wooden bridge made of coconut trunks it has weathered. Even his position had collapsed, falling into a dry siring.

The ambulance from the puskesmas was the last four-wheeled vehicle to cross the bridge. An event that happened almost two years ago. When they interceded Lastri was unconscious.

Lastri got off his truck. Because he wears a pet hat and a men's style suit, not many people can recognize him. After all who can guess that the skinny girl Lastri cheeked it has now been adept at carrying a large vehicle, weighing over 3.5 tons.

Three of them went into the house. Lastri walked in front. Armen followed walking in the back while carrying Gya. Lastri's daughter looks always happy if placed on the shoulders of the big tall man.

Be in the living room like any other day. On a long chair made of bamboo. Right in front of the chair, in front of him there was a mattress for Lastri. When it was asked by the nurse as a place of rest and recovery from the trauma experienced by Lastri.

"Geez, Lastri, you're finally home!" 

"Yes Mom!"

"Where's the little guy?"

"No! Again in the bopong!"

Enah happy not to play, immediately he hugged Lastri for a long time. Then he rushed to Armen. He asked Gya to be immediately removed from the man's shoulders..

It seems that Enah is not so surprised at the sudden arrival of her daughter and her first grandchild. Although almost two years Lastri never came home, or told his mother. More precisely he ran away from home because he refused to abort the womb. 

It was easy for Pastri to guess. Must be Madi who told me about their meeting at a meatball shop a few months ago. Lastri believes surely Enah's days are always full of hope in waiting for his return and grandchildren who have been denied presence..

Enah's thin body almost slammed when trying to receive Gya from Armen's arm. You forget that the big-bodied man must have great energy when compared to him. With great difficulty You try to hold Gya by using all the power from the right side of his body.

"Gya can walk alone!" Lastri said that after Gya stood on the lap of his cage grandmother.

"His name is Gya?" Drain the voices of children.

"Pratigya Echoes, Mom! The whole thing!"

"What a good name!" Back You let out a voice that is actually not good to hear.

The incident of Enah teasing a child that he once wanted to be aborted long enough. Lastri did not like to see Gya's hand being restrained like that continuously. So he asked Enah to let him go. It's been seen starting to flush on Gya's wrist.

"I don't forbid mom, just pity her!"

"Kok you said rudely to Mom anyway!"

"I don't mean to be rude to you!"

"You haven't changed Las!" 

"No Ma'am, I just want Gya to play!"

Armen who was watching the conversation of the mother and child was a little astonished. Why is Lastri acting so rigidly towards her own mother. Armen does not know if the main purpose of Lastri's life is Gya's happiness. 

Lastri won't care who the opponent is. Armen never knew that. If Armen had known Pastri a long time ago. For sure he will know the location of the differences of Lastri before and after the event.

Armen was somewhat stuttered when asked by Enah who she was and what she had to do with her daughter. Tangkas Lastri gave an explanation that Armen was his business partner. Lastri didn't want you to ask Armen any questions. 

And that's exactly what Armen's purpose was to present there. To dampen questions that may arise from the community around the neighborhood of Lastri's house. At least the idea of Pure has been proven. Pure did ask Armen to be able to accompany Lastri when returning home. 

Pure is worried that Yudi's death is having a bad impact on Lastri and Gya. Purely thinks the existence of Armen will create little doubt for the surrounding community. The more people think about Armen, the better.

Gya plays alone in the same location, where he is still in the contents of Lastri. Only this time only held a mat as a playground Gya. As for Enah being in the kitchen compiling the dish that was brought by Lastri. 

"Men, it looks like we're gonna have to do something?"

"It doesn't matter!'

"The problem is in the car!"

"Why?"

"Is it safe to park outside?"

"I sleep there! How's it?"

"Here we go before nightfall to Mr. Lek's!"

"Much no?"

"Near here!"

"Good then."

The existence of a truck that parked long enough to make the neighbors wonder. Who made the visit to the widow's house. Among them there are some neighbors took the initiative to come directly to the house Enah. 

They wanted to know who had visited the old widow's house. Most of the neighbors' reaction after visiting was surprise, as well as being happy that Lastri was in good health. They prefer to talk about the pastry economy. Lastri's condition looks better than their economic condition mostly. 

Until there the pure trick again succeeded. They were more interested in talking about the dashing truck that Lastri used. Lastri's clothes, Gya, jewelry, cell phones are also Armen who look dashing in their eyes. Until late in the night no one had tried to reveal about Yudi's death.
