THE FORMER BLIND COLLECTION HOUSE IJO
chapter 12 of the last meeting

Until the darker day we were still in the Pine forest, I began to tighten my grip to the waist of Mas Ami, Mas Ami realized that he knew I was afraid.

And Mas Ami's motor stopped, I who had closed my eyes behind Mas Ami's back, began to open my eyes, I, I thought we had reached Abah's house or at least reached the village but, when I opened my eyes around me it was dark.

We were still in the pine forest, then why did Mas Ami stop, Mas Ami started to turn the motor again but not on, Mas Ami's motor broke down.

"Liya we go down first, Mas Ami want to check the motorbike, this is why the package broke down all what the gasoline ran out".

I went down to sit limp on the side of the road while watching Mas Ami, at that time I was just a scared little girl in the middle of the darkness in the pine forest, I could only cry, I covered my face with my palms, and cried.

"Liya pray well don't cry, sorry Liya, Mas Ami don't know why we can get lost, and this bike again, why should it strike?".

Mas ami said annoyed, I prayed in my heart but still can not stop crying both hands I still use to cover my face, I was afraid of not wanting to look around in complete darkness but slowly I heard the sound of delman approaching us.

I began to open both my hands from my face, seen in the distance delman was like wearing a light, but it was still unclear who the coachman was, until the end of his delman was approaching.

And I made sure that it was Abah, Grandfather who helped Julian at that time, I immediately stood up happy to see Abah on top of the delman, directly I approached the delman who was still walking closer.

"Grandfather...Grandpa still remembers me...?".

Shouted to Grandpa who was called Abah, Grandpa looked at me, and frowned his already wrinkled forehead.

"Neng Liya why is he here?".

I'm so glad I smiled, even Grandpa still remembers my name when we met once that night, even one year ago.

Abah came down from her delman, I immediately hugged her like I was hugging my own Grandpa long time no see, I cried in Abah's arms, and Abah rubbed my hair.

"Please Kek...".

I could only say that out of fear, Mas Ami saw us then, approaching.

"Have you not cried since you were here? ".

Said Abah still stroking my hair.

"Maap, you're the coachman's grandfather who helped his neng's sister?".

Mas Ami asked Abah to convince him.

"God help me just what are your intermediaries doing here?".

Grandfather turned to ask Mas Ami, and Mas Ami told him why we got here, Mas Ami told him about his son who was like Julian before, Mas Ami told me all the events until we got lost, Grandpa just nodded his head.

" Let's go see your son".

Grandpa said as he walked leading me up to his delman.

"But my bike broke down Bah how well?".

Mas Ami said while looking at his motorbike which could not walk.

"Have left, you guys ride my delman alone, tomorrow you take your bike, it's okay no one will take it".

Grandpa said while raising me to the delman then, Grandfather went up to the delman, Mas Ami according to him also approached us, and sat down at the

behind Grandpa, then Grandpa started running his delman.

I was, and Mas Ami got to the pine forest it took a few hours until we got lost but why now only about 30 minutes maybe, we have reached my house with delman Abah, he said, we got home, we got off the delman Grandpa kept his delman in the yard.

I held Grandpa's hand to bring him into the house as if I was afraid he was leaving, Mas Ami entered first to the house approaching Andri who was still asleep in his Mamah lap.

There were my brothers, my Julian sitting next to his Mamah Andri, my Mom immediately stood looking at Mas Ami, and my Papah had come home they were waiting for us.

"Why so long?".

"We're lost, ma'am.. The grandfather we were looking for found us in the pine forest where my bike broke down, I drove Abah here".

Everything looked confused but immediately returned the greeting when Abah said his greeting.

"Asalamu... ".

Abah said hello

"WA aleikum salam..alhamdulillah Thank you Abah for coming, I Papah Julian".

Papah thrust his hands to shake hands, Grandpa was called Abah welcomed Papah's hand, Mamah smiled, and shook hands then My brothers they still remember with Grandpa.

Grandpa immediately turned to Andri who was in his Mamah bench, then held Andri's hand, and his chest, Grandpa went to the bathroom, he already knew the location of the bathroom then he berwudhu and, and, two rakaat prayers then asked for a glass of water, and asked permission to keep Andri on his bench.

Now Andri is in his lap, as Grandpa utters the holy verse of the Quran, and speaks either what is spoken and, with whom, then Grandpa spills a little water in a glass into his palm then, Grandpa, taking her to Andri little by little, then reciting the prayers again after a few minutes, Andri opened her eyes, Grandpa smiled and, returning Andri to his Mamah.

"This ma'am her son has woken her cape love this drink, love food she must be hungry".

Grandpa said, we were very happy to see Andri was awake we said thank God, Julian immediately approached Andri.

"Julian, Andri wants to eat first yah kasian has not eaten all day".

The word Mamah reminded Julian not to disturb Andri just yet.

"Thank you for whatever we have to say, thank you God for all the kindness Grandpa gave you, if no Grandpa we don't know how to do, no, I also haven't had time to thank Grandpa for helping my son Julian".

Papah hugs Grandpa, Grandpa pats Papah on the back.

"All help from God I can do nothing, I just as an intermediary thank God by getting closer to him increase your worship".

Papah nodded, Mas Ami approached Abah and, looking at his hand, Abah just smiled and said goodbye.

"Get me home first, God willing your son will be fine, Julian is fine now too".

grandpa glanced at Julian and, Julian smiled and walked over to Grandpa and, kissing his hand.

"Yes I have come home well, I have been waiting, maybe this is the last time we meet, remember you must further increase your worship closer to God".

Then Grandpa came home, as usual Grandpa did not want to receive a reward, Mas Ami that night was not a trade, we were family and, Mas Ami family gathered in the family room watching tivi, while occasionally paying attention to Julian and, Andri who had started playing back.

Mamah went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, we had dinner together, I was so hungry from last day I had not eaten, after dinner we chatted.

Papah told Mas Ami all about the state of our house, Papah decided Mas Ami should know so that he also understood why all this could happen.

Although maybe Mas Ami decided to move Papah's contract will not get in the way but, Mas Ami decided to stay with us, contracted in our garage space that, for whatever reason, was, but Mas Ami still wants to stay contracted.

Maybe because the rent contracted at our place is cheaper, but not only because it is also Mas Ami see our family is fine, just fine, Mas Ami followed all the advice from Papah for Mas Ami family to abudhu before going to bed and, did not die of five prayers time, he said, teaching recites the holy verse of the Qur'an after the Maghrib prayer until isha before Mas Ami went to night trade.

To his day Mas Ami intends to take his motorbike that he left in the pine garden, go Mas Ami took the motor itself, about an hour later Mas Ami has returned, come Mas Ami calling Papah and, my Mom with a face of shock.

"Mom...Mr.. Ma'am... Mr..".

His wife Mas Ami came out of his room to Mas Ami astonished to ask Mas Ami what is wrong, but Mas Ami went straight to the family room there was me, Julian and, uh, Julian and, Andri who was playing Mamah came out of the room.

"What's the matter Mas? , 'Well, the child's father is gone".

Mamah approached Mas Ami with confusion, what is with Mas Ami why his face looks like shock like that.

"Change.. Abah is dead... ".

Mas Ami with a broken voice, we all can not say what is still confused with the words of Mas Ami....
