Hiding place



The sound of birds singing woke up the figure of a beautiful girl in the middle of the forest. It had been two days that Sri Utami was in Kang Danu's hut. The window of the room is opened giving the room a fresh breeze of entering the room. The sky was still pitch-black, Sri Utami stepped her foot out of the room room. He found that Kang Danu was solemnly praying to the Almighty. Sri Utami waited for Kang Danu to finish his prayer.


"Assalamulakum warohmatullohi wabarakooluh" said Kang Danu as his head turned to the right and left and then rubbed his face.


Kang Danu said a prayer, after which he thought for a while. Then he folded his head and turned to Sri Utami and threw a smile.


" Do you want to pray Sri?" ask Kang Danu.


Sri Utami blushed embarrassed, he had not practiced the worship of a Muslim for a long time.


" Sri take ablution behind near the kitchen there is a shower of bamboo trees. Wear my scabbard to cover your head." Said Kang Danu.


Sri Utami did not comment much, he immediately went back to take ablution water, although he had not done it for a long time, but still liked the occasional prayer so he still remembered the ordinance of ablution. Sri Utami returned to the room wearing Kang Danu's folded sarong on the wooden cabinet shelf, She used it to be a head covering. Takbir he I laid, then dissolved in the worship. His heart was calm and peaceful when he finished his worship. Sri Utami was called by the Danu kang to sit together in front of the hut. The warm tea had already been served, Kang Danu looked at the sky which was slowly emitting its bluish color. Sri Utami stepped up and sat down beside Kang Danu.


" You know Sri, the forest is a place for souls who want peace. I too had a fate like you!" said Kang Danu while sipping tea.


" What happened to Kang Danu," Sri Utami asked looking at Kang Danu.


" My father was a member of the PKI, Sri. When in 1927 the PKI became a banned party, the PKI people were arrested and banished to Bovel Digul. My mother was*rk*s* by the person dragging you. Until he finally committed suicide. People knew me as a PKI boy, and all those PKI kids were killed. I'm a fugitive, I'm finally hiding in this forest." Said Kang Danu.


" So kang Danu joined the PKI organization as well?" sri Utami asked carefully.


" No Sri, I'm not a communist. In one family we have different organizations. My mother was a member of the kautamaan wife, my father was a communist and I was a member of the PNI. But you know for yourself the PNI also broke up since Bung Karno was arrested. I joined the PNI-new but its members were again arrested Sri. I decided to hide." Said Kang Danu.


" Yes the Dutch are very hard to crack down on the organization that was established in the 1920s Kang, they fear the threat of popular power to subvert the colonialism." Sri Utami.


" Jright Sri. Oh, today I'm going to the market! I need to buy clothes for you." Said Kang Danu.

One hole in the cemetery has been prepared to bury the bodies of the remains who live the charred skulls. Hysterical cries of his relatives accompanied the departure of the body that was not shaped. Raden Sugeng, Nyai Dasimah, Nyai Rukmini, Nyai Sartini, bi Iyem, Rahman, Van Berg, Vander Plass and the people closest to Sri Utami took the body to his grave. The cemetery is covered by red soil, flowers are sprinkled on top of it. Van Berg covered up his grief by using a black cockroach.


" Nyi survived, hyks hyks hyks," said Bi Iyem while sprinkling flowers.


" Lad, have a good calm there. Ma'am will always defend your safety." said Nyai Dasimah pouring water into the mound of land.


"Anaking, father. Hampura father can not take care of you." said Raden Sugeng while crying bitterly.

Sri Utami walked up to the bushes in the forest while carrying his bow, a rabbit jumped up and down, he chased after it and slowly the bow was released, but failed to hit the target. He saw thatch grass wobbling Sri Utami approached, he thought there was an animal behind the grass, he walked on all fours strands by strands of tall grass that was exposed. But his eyes widened when he saw something that was not worth it in the morning. Her cheeks were hot to resist embarrassment. He does not disturb the two people who are talking*nt*, the woman repeatedly sighs to make the man excited. They did not realize Sri Utami was there.


After their action was done, shock was not playing a woman in black and half her face was covered in cloth looking at them. Sri Utami knew very well the man who became the lover of the Iyem bi. He released two arrows on both of his thighs. The woman was terrified she begged Sri Utami not to hurt her. Sri looked at the woman.


" Give me your clothes! then I won't hurt you!" sri Utami.


" Ta.ta..pi how a.ku, ti..ti.dak!" said the woman whose hair had been broken.


" Well if you don't want to!" Sri Utami was preparing to pull her bow. The woman immediately took off her clothes.


"Here go, don't kill me!" said the woman while handing her clothes.


Sri Utami smiled with pleasure, she grabbed the clothes. The woman was sitting lethargic with only her underwear, the man was still cringing in pain with his arrow stuck deep in both thighs.


" I'm ashamed to get out of here, how will people see me not wearing clothes.Hiks hyks, hyks," said the woman.


" You got any shame? Scorn out! why don't you be ashamed to commit adultery here, miss! You are also not ashamed of God, but you are ashamed of man" said Sri Utami felt annoyed, he immediately left the person who was still stripping and moaning in pain.


Sri Utami walked down the dense bamboo forest, she saw a bamboo boy immediately take his arrow to take a bamboo child but she had difficulty, he tried to pull it with his two hands. A man behind him called out.


" That's not how you take it, you have to use this!" said Kang Danu immediately took a position and slashed the bamboo with a machete.


" here! I got the info on the market, people thought you were dead Sri!" said Kang Danu while handing over the bamboo boy.


" Why do they think I'm Kang's dead?" sri asked in astonishment to follow Kang Danu.


" The police found a charred skull in Sri's room" said Kang Danu.


" Thus? Madelief kept Ujang's body in my room!" sri Utami said her hands were clenched.


" Already, we follow the plot, all for your good Sri. Where did you get that shirt!" said Kang Danu who saw Sri Utami holding clothes.


" I get from the woman who is adulterous in the weeds," said Sri Utami.


" You! why did you let her get naked?" said Kang Danu.


" Let him call kang" replied Sri Utami.


" Don't do it! give me back the clothes, don't steal them Sri!" said Kang Danu.


" I didn't steal Kang! he gave it to me!" deny Sri Utami a little emotion.


" Are you blackmailing Sri!" press Kang Danu staring at Sri Utami sharply.


Sri Utami pouted, she walked ahead of Kang Danu, then disappeared from her sight. Kang Danu could only sigh. He continued his journey to the hut. Until the evening Sri Utami did not appear as well, Kang Danu began to worry, but then Sri Utami emerged from the dimly lit. Kang Danu was pleased that he was moved by Sri Utami back to his hut.


" I'm sorry Sri." said kang Danu.


" It's okay kang, I'm here to say goodbye. I've decided to meet my friend. I'm sorry to bother Kang Danu." said Sri Utami bowed.


" I don't want to keep hiding Kang, my parents are so sad to think I'm dead. I can't bear to see their tears" Sri Utami continued.


" I don't want you to go Sri! but all the decisions are in your hands Sri, wait tomorrow morning, it's late." Said Kang Danu full of disappointment will be left alone.


Sri Utami nodded, they both went into the hut, then ate the dinner that Kang Danu had prepared.


The view of Kang Danu at all times saw Sri Utami who really enjoyed the cuisine.
