TWILIGHT IN THE PINE FOREST

The July 1998

Very cold morning.I pulled back the blanket.The sound of the rooster is still occasionally I heard.Means it is not yet time for dawn. No sound to the kitchen.

I want to close these eyes again. But it's too difficult. The shadow of his face is back. Aahhh. Could he feel the same?

I'm Wahyuni. A short name given to my parents, but very meaningful. Yep.. Wahyuni.. some call me Revelation. Some are Yuni. trserah. It's not just Angel... Hi Hi.. Hi.. shame.because I'm just a country woman.

Currently I play to Bulik house.A village in the highlands in Pacitan district.

I found peace here. Yes.the quiet atmosphere of the village.asri still maintain decency.

"Wahyu.. wake up morning prayer.

" Nggih(yep).. Bulik. I'm awake.

I opened the door and Bulik was in front of me giving me Mukena.

"Come.we pray first. "

Finish praying .. activity begins. I'm sweeping.I'm whipping into the kitchen. Outside, many people want to go to the rice fields.

Yep... The life of the farmer in the village is a simple life full of love. It is from them that we learn the meaning of patience.

At once there was a shadow of someone who always made my heart pound.

"When did you get to..? she said with a sweet smile. Duhhh. The earthquake I felt.

" Yesterday mas. "i answered. and I gave my sweetest smile like Angelina Jolie. (sok ngaku) Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi...

" Want to the farm? kn is it morning..? " my word is that..

She smiled. "yes, dik. mumpung not yet hot sun.. "

He passed by to the field. Aahh. I looked at her back until she lost the plant in front of the house.

"Revelation.here help Bulik cook.."

"Yes.. Kidnap.."

I rushed to the kitchen too. This morning menu oseng chickpeas and fried tempeh.

The sound of the click asked for coffee from the front of the house.

Bulik soon ahead do not forget the tengginang setoples for paklik.

"Revelation.you take care of the house.. Bulik to go to the rice field .. Iput will accompany you.. "

answer Bulik while taking me breakfast.

I finished my breakfast and washed the dishes.

Bulik sdh to rice fields with paklik. Stay on my own.

Ahh. The show is still the same.

The clock in the living room shows at 9am. I also went out of the house.

I looked around the house. Many trees. I sat alone on the terrace. While waiting for my beautiful niece Iput to play home.

"Sir Revelation.. When is it coming? " A pretty girl in a brown hood ran2 towards me.

I hugged his stocky body.. Real tight.

"Yesterday... How are you? "

"Where's the profit yet..?? "

" Where's your husband? "

I asked a question, he laughed so hard.

" Douh. you are yes.. Ask one-on-one.. "The answer is laughter.

I also took off my embrace.

Gave her the chance to answer my questions.

" Alhamdulillah. mbak. I am healthy. not yet content (pregnant).. Ask for his prayer yes. "he said while looking at me smiling.

Duh.the woman in front of me is 5 years old above me. Always call me 'the mother of Revelation'..

I immediately took him to the back..

I can't wait to share my story with her..

We entered his room which I now occupy. I also sat facing him.

He looked at me differently.

" What's wrong.. Is something wrong with me..!?? "

manya curious.

Iput just smiled...

"Mbak.. i. want to ask you something." he said in a stifled voice..

My heart was not calm, what would he ask..
