Banana garden


The school hours have arrived.


Because the distance from school to grandma's house is quite close, if the walk may not be up to twenty minutes, I also decided to go home on foot, itung-itung sports, and certainly ngirit, I decided,now the price of BBM rises, so the cost automatically goes up, especially the public transport tariff is now close to five thousand rupiah. If the angkot ride from school to home maybe five minutes until, it's a pity his money, mending me jajanin cilok in front of the school, hehe...


When I was walking alone, meh, not alone as well the truth, because there are some of my school friends who walk maybe his house is also close.


Someone called me, I turned my head back with my body too, because I was not an owl that could turn its head 180 degrees....


"Lala. wait..."


Apparently my five new friends who were acquainted with me ran towards me, well, I forgot their names.


"Why is it ?" Ask me when they're in front of me with breathless breath


"Why go home alone, we're friends, oh where's your house ?" Ask my girlfriend who is either Sarah or Mila yes.duh.


"Near where I walk" answered me


"If so we go home together only, our house is also not far away " Say a male friend


"Ok well "My answer is short


We also walked together while continuing to joke, because I was new to them of course the awkward feeling is still obvious, I just kept silent while remembering their names, when they mentioned each other's names when chattering.


"Oh.This one is Sarah, it's Mila, it's Deni, this one's Ovan, and whose face is this shady Azzam.


"I have to.I have arrived first, yes..." Mila cried when we reached a moss-green house with an iron fence that was as high as an adult waist


"Ok "Use them, I just nodded with a smile


We walked back, one by one my friends had arrived at his house, now it was me and Azzam. I look clumsy, even though before that I was a person who always enjoyed with anyone, my male friends were also a lot of time in the city, but why with Azzam I even felt this clumsy.


There was no chatter from the two of us until I finally arrived in front of my grandmother's house.


"This is my house, my grandmother's house I mean, I first ya "Say me


"Oh you're Mbah Arum's granddaughter huh, meaning his son Mr Banu?" ask Azzam


"You know what ?" Ask herman, uh.


"Know dong, my mama's her ex-papa you're "his grin while scratching his head that is either itchy or not


"Huh..the real one..kok you know ?" Ask me again, I swear yes .. I was really shocked to hear it


"There's a story, later on I'm telling, yes I also want to go home, until I see you tomorrow " Say it and just leave


"Then yes papa is his former mama "Murm me


"Ah.tau lah, that's their past, which is important now papa is already happy with mama "My inner , that's why it hurts so much to hear the news ,as if papa was related to his mama Azzam in the present


I immediately went into the house, and I saw that my aunt was taking a dry clothesline and replacing it with a new laundry.


"Waalaikumsalam "Aunty's heart


"Who's granny bi?" Ask me


"Biasalah La, again looking for banana leaves "Aunty's heart


"Oh yes it's "My right then walked into the house, when I entered I saw Dika son aunty was watching television while eating, I saw the side dish omelet and tempe fried


"Sir Lala just came home "His speech saw me


"Hem.. yes really tired, ask for one dong tempe her" said me while picking fried tempeh on his plate.


"IIih... sister Lala mah gitu, play just take it, if you want to take it all yourself in the kitchen "His right while pursing his lips sign he was annoyed at me ,while I was smiling at her, it was a pleasure to upset her


"Hehe..sorry Dik.ya already brother replace with chocolate, would you not" I bid.


"Yes want dong "His sahut quickly and then grab the chocolate containing cashew nuts in my hand


"Yes already eat first, babisin yes, I don't want to change clothes first" I said as I moved


"Ok "His Sahut is giving a thumbs up


After I finished changing clothes, I intend to follow my grandmother in the garden, I worry about anything happening to grandma, fear of falling or what so, my grandmother is already as old as , but still stubborn ,papa and mama have asked grandma to stop with her activities to make various fried foods also lontong to be entrusted to each stall. Every month his grandmother is often sent money by papa, but the grandmother still sells, said the grandmother is better selling body feels fresh than silent no activity body feels weak.


Mama and papa no longer ask grandma to stop selling, which is important grandmother is in good health that mama and papa want it.


I walked down the road to a small alley where the road would take me to my grandmother's garden, knowing I used to have a lot of banana trees planted maybe now there is still a banana tree ,because the aunt said if grandma went looking for banana leaves.


From afar I could see Grandma was cleaning the banana leaves that Grandma had separated from her midrib, but my steps suddenly stopped, my silence wrinkled.


"That's who's with grandma ?" I murmured when I saw someone sitting next to Grandma in a white but shabby shirt


But suddenly the figure in shabby white clothes next to grandma did not look, no matter where it went, I did not see his departure at all.


"Loh Lala...you why are you here?" Ask the grandmother who seems to be aware of my arrival


"Yes nek, I'm bored at home, want to walk but confused where to go, yes I've sucked grandma just here "My right


"Oh yes already, here help grandma clean her banana leaves, enter the basket "Mranny said


"Ok grandma. Oh yeah, who's with grandma, where to now ?" Ask me while inserting banana leaves that have been cleaned by grandma before, but there is no answer from grandma, but there is no answer,grandma even rushed to put the banana leaves until the sound of crickets on the banana leaves


"Let's go home quickly, don't ask me anything else "Grandma pulled my arm and took me away from the garden in a hurry, a look of fear from grandma


Want me to ask but ..later after I get home, I asked again, I thought


Seriate....
