THE FORMER BLIND COLLECTION HOUSE IJO
chapter 11 is lost

I approached Julian who was talking to Andri who was asleep, I held onto Julian's shoulder wanting to give him some encouragement and, hoping that Andri would wake up again.

"Andri must wake up again and, playing again with you Julian, Teteh wants to find Grandpa who helps us build Andri yes..".

Julian looked back at me, and nodded.

"Don't be long..".

Julian expectantly, I could only nod, and smile, then go with Mas Ami on his motorcycle to the delman terminal near the Lembang market.

Arriving at the delman terminal where all the delman and, his coachmen gathered waiting their turn to take passengers to their destination after shopping from the market.

I watched one by one the coachmen of delman but, none of me saw Grandpa-grandpa there was a young man the age of Mas Ami or Papah, Mas Ami turned to me and said.

"There are no Grandpa-grandpa yah Liya, maybe again on the road again narik take passengers we try to ask aja well ma another coachmannya".

Mas Ami said I nodded, then we approached one of the delman coachmen who was sitting in his empty delman chair there were no passengers.

"Would his usual nanya there is a coachman Grandpa-grandpa here Mang know not?".

Mas Ami said to the delman coachman asking the whereabouts of the coachman's grandfather who used to help Julian.

"Oh Abah.. again sick Mas has been a few months already not interested, usually changed ma his son, but his son also today did not come, indeed why Mas?, what's the need?".

The coachman answered, and asked.

"Oh so well Mang. yes I have a very important need, Mang know his home address? can you tell me Mang's address, please,? sorry for being a hassle".

Mas Ami very much hoped that the coachman Mang could tell his home address Abah.

"Awhile well Mas, my friend knows where percis his house Abah if I am not so poultice, my friend asked me first".

The coachman moved from his seat, and down from his delman walked up to his friend who was a fellow coachman, his friend was sitting in his delman seat which was still empty there were no passengers.

They were seen chatting, then we, me, and Mas Ami approached them, those who were approached by the two of us, both of them turned to us, he said, and his friend the coachman nodded his head to Mas Ami, the coachman we had talked to pointed to me, and Mas Ami who was walking near them.

"This is what Abah said you know Abah's house right".

Said the coachman we spoke to first to his friend, his friend nodding naggingly.

"Yes my neighbor, Abah again sick for a long time, usually there is a child here Dahlan who replace Abah but, where well he from the morning has not been seen, what are there needs, Mom?".

Said his neighbor's coachman Abah, wondering if we were looking for Abah, there is any interest even though on the look of his face they do not show suspicion that is not good, maybe they just want to know what we need to find Abah the coachman.

" I want to ask for help Abah Mang.There is something beyond logic, my son did not wake up cold, wake up cold, in the past his neng sister was also rich so help ma Abah, I hope this time also Abah can help my son wake up again Mang,".

"Oh yes Abah emang can be in mintain please, but do not want to be told by a pinter person, he also howled it ma people do not thank you never want in return, love, but do not know also if now his Abah can not nolongin yah?, his Abah is sick too".

Mang said the neighbor coachman Abah, then he asked for help looking for paper, and a pen to his friend.

"In the first try, well Mas, easy Abah easy already mengingan, this morning I did not stop by first to his house, so do not know the condition now, try Wan..,please find paper ma pen we give Abah's home address".

Said the neighbor coachman Abah, again asking help to his friend to get a paper, and a pen.

"Yes for a moment, usually like someone who brings a TTS ma pen".

Said the other coachman again, then went to the place of another delman coachman again, who used to bring TTS and, pen to just a fad fill free time waiting for passengers.

" I think I'm a hassle".

Mas Ami felt bad already troublesome them.

"It's okay Mas just give this address is nothing, sorry I can't do Mas, I can just give you an address".

Said the neighbor coachman Abah turned bad because he could not deliver us, we also understand him because he was working even though there were no passengers, but we can not disturb the person who is making a living for his family, at that address thank you.

His friend who had been looking for a pen, and the paper had returned with a piece of paper volume TTS, and pen, then gave it to Abah's neighbor, after finishing writing the address, and then gave it to Abah's neighbor, then Abah's neighbor gave an address along with a road map of Abah's house to Mas Ami, then we left.

"Thank you once again well Mang .. You guys are very helpful, sorry we are troublesome..".

Mas Ami said to the two drivers, they nodded and, smiling and shaking hands with Mas Ami, we went to Abah's house on Mas Ami's motorcycle,

For almost half an hour on the motorbike ride to Abah's house, Mas Ami stopped briefly to see the directions on the paper given by Abah's neighbor's coachman, then Mas Ami ran his motorcycle again.

I who in his bonceng did not say what because it did not understand then, about half an hour later Mas Ami stopped his motorcycle again near the stall, then get off the motorcycle I also went down Mas Ami asked Abah's address to the mothers who guard the stall.

"Oh his saharus was Mas turn at the turn there Mas not straight".

The mothers said while showing a turn.

"Thank you Mom".

Mas Ami said then back on his motorcycle, I went back to riding a motorcycle in the boncengi Mas Ami, we returned to the turn that the mothers said ,then we turned on that road.

Right left pine tree there is no house, until far away the pine forest has no end, has not been seen any house or village residents, the day is getting late, the afternoon is getting, we haven't found Abah's house yet...
