“Do you think like that??” ask the grandmother
Sarah nodded uncertainly but still
reply with short “mmmh”
“ I raised my son lovingly,
my husband loves to play. I always thought it would be good at first
if raising a child in complete household condition. Turns out I was wrong
kiddo. With great difficulty we fled this village to continue
lived. Grandma became a pesulam to meet the needs of the family. An
self grandma raising her only child . And now married and
have two children. My grandmother has two grandchildren now.
One grandson – boys and one granddaughter. They're still sleeping on the clock
like this. “ Said the grandmother who seemed to reminisce about the funny behavior of her two grandchildren.
Smile while telling a story when you mention the word grandchild.
“wahh,, grandma is very lucky already have 2
grandchildren. What age are they?” ask Sarah
“ A female 7 years old and a male –
only 5 year old. They're so funny, baby they're not
waking up. Their habit if the school holidays will wake up to the sun
height.” The grandmother laughed and told her granddaughter.
“Grandmother must have very dear granddaughter grandma..” says.
Sarah
“iya. They
guide for me during my blind eye condition.” Obviously the grandmother.
“but....” said full of doubt whether to continue.
talk or not.
Sarah was curious about the words
the grandmother. “but why grandma??” ask Sarah.
With doubt the grandmother started talking “walau
it looks happy, but I'm actually very sad. "
The grandmother was silent for a moment and then continued
her word
"my son was a child
placable. He always listened to my words and never fought even one
pun word. I am very happy, even though I am tired of working outside the home and inside
the house is all like being reciprocated when you see it grow into a child
docile. All that changed when my son got married. I understand it
he has found his true love. But ever since he found his love, he's been
forgetting his first love was me. All this time I survived and pura –
pura didn't hear anything from their mouths.” Grandma's eyes start to look –
glass when telling stories.
Sarah was silent for a moment, her mind remembering her mother.
He is an unattractive child. Always different from her. Mama
also have a job out there. All of her energy must have gone out taking care of the child
like himself.
Sarah is back to focusing on her grandmother.
“does grandma sad because they have
plan to leave grandma alone? Because they're tired of looking after grandma??”
ask Sarah directly. Sarah is someone who doesn't like stale talk. It will
always talk directly to the core of the problem.
“where do you know kiddo?” the grandmother was direct
sitting straight from her lazy chair and her head facing Sarah's voice.
“I don't know much, just a coincidence
guess it.” Sarah answered with a smiley face that felt guilty
his mouth was too honest to speak.
“neneeeek...” shouted grandson – whose
looks like you just woke up. Spoiled he sat on the grandmother's lap while
scratching his head then yawning as it was still sleepy
“granny's been here a long time? Why don't you
waking sister? What if a stranger takes grandma away?”
said grandma's – boy grandson while looking at Sarah.
“where there are people who want to bring old grandma
like grandma. Would be troublesome for them of course.” The grandmother replied
pat the grandson's shoulder gently.
“grandmother is not troublesome, the grandmother is still beautiful.
Remember, grandma should not talk to strangers.” Said the little boy
glancing sharply at Sarah.
Sarah smiled then said “tadi sister
around, because it was only last night until this village. Thankfully there was a grandmother
brandishing his thumb to the boy – boy.
The boy looked at Sarah with a look
can't believe. Sarah just remembered earlier buying apples and pears on the side
the road when around. He also bought a lot of snacks and chocolates for snacks
moteled. He saw the package on the floor and then gave the fruit
that was to my grandmother's granddaughter.
“ini.. by – by for older sister and.
ye. Grandma said she loved you both very much. Grandma said that brother
here you have to bring a lot of your favorite food. Bring in yes..” says
Sarah
The eyes of the boy – boy earlier instantly changed from
hostility becomes friendship. He was very happy to carry all the bags
sarah's Groceries. While yelling at his sleeping brother to make it quick
wake up because there is a lot of food that grandma's guests bring from the city.
“very fun yes...” says Sarah saw
the boy ran into the house screaming for his brother
wenza.y
“ya... thank you very much for the food
you give..” said grandma while fumbling looking for Sarah's hand.
Sarah saw the grandmother's hand
looking for something to hold it. The grandmother held Sarah's hand
happy face.
“how could I not give them
tribute, the guard looked at me like he was going to kill me alive – alive. Grannies
like diamonds in their eyes. And I'm like a granny kidnapper – granny. “
sarah said with a laugh.
“they were the ones who kept me going all this time.
When my son-in-law is angry with me because when eating makes rice scattered
floored. He will defend me, and my granddaughter will be fast – fast
clean everything.” Obviously the grandmother
“does the grandmother's son do nothing when
grandma treated like that??” ask Sarah
“ia loves her wife, of course I
it is not permissible to destroy their marriage just because of a smelly human being
land like me. Enough I've ever failed in a household, son
I can't suffer the same.”
“anda very good... even too good” praise.
Sarah.
Smile at my grandmother's face and then
saying :
“from newborn to 8 years old my son
growing up like a normal family. During that time my husband often hit
me, without my son's knowledge. As much as possible I cover the bruise because
punch from. My ex-husband likes to get drunk and play girls, I know
have an affair out there. “ the voice of the grandmother began to vibrate restraint
his heart's sadness opened up dark memories of his past.
“The thing that made me run away was
when he began to dare to hit me in front of my son. That night he went home
keaadan drunk, white shirt with pink lipstick, when
that's what I asked him. My ex-husband seemed unhappy
as I said, he began to remove the belt from his pants and whip me
brutally. My sleeping son woke up, probably because he heard
the noise from our bedroom. For defending me, my son was beaten
discharged – exhausted by him. I remember that very quickly, I
beating my ex-husband unconscious with trembling hands.
I quickly packed up and ran away from home with my son."
The grandmother breathed.
"A mother will endure pain and burden
heavy for his son. But he won't be able to let his biological son
hurt others even it was her own husband.” Continue the grandmother.
“then what happened??” ask Sarah
curious.
“we ran without knowing the destination direction, honest in
my heart is still worried that my husband died from my blow earlier. In any event
I don't want to be irresponsible. So we ran to
police station and explain everything.”
