THE FORMER BLIND COLLECTION HOUSE IJO
Chapter 55 the dilemma

Would we be happy if this house was sold?, and we would finally be free from the horror terror that has haunted us, which has become part of our lives, this house, he said, our first home was the one where we went home.

My childhood home, a childhood that not all children my age experienced, this house taught me that home is a place where a family is in it, supporting each other, protecting, protecting, strengthen, each other.

This house taught me the true meaning of life, I learned to appreciate more every favor that God has given, I had the feeling of not having a father for a year, he said, I know how it feels to be an orphan.

I had the feeling of only eating one plate with my brother who was only sprinkled with oil, I know how hard it feels and how much one plate of rice is valuable to the people out there, whose circumstances are far more difficult to teach me to share, light hands, light hands, and love people whose circumstances are not as fortunate as ours.

And I learned from the people who stopped by this house that we, Om Toni, Abah the coachman of delman, and Grandpa, they died of deep impressions and messages, they help selflessly, sincerely and when a good man dies only his body dies us, but his name his goodness will be eternal.

Mamah, and Papah without them knowing, many things that they get from all the tests that have been relentless in us, Papah and Mamah learn about loyalty, the power of love, and trust.

When Papah died Mamah for one year lost consciousness but the inner Papah could not be lied to, because of the power of his love for the family, his inner still chose his family even though he lost his memory.

The power of Papah's love that makes her escape the test of Mayang Sari's demon snake, and the power of Mamah's love that always endures faithfully wait when Papah is missing one year old, supporting Papah when Papah has no job, encouraging him and trusting him.

Mutual respect mutual trust, mutual acceptance and mutual giving, not only one-sided, not one-sided clapping

most importantly the power of faith, which makes them afraid to walk not in His Ridho, God is all-knowing, all-helping, and all-loving to his people, God is all-knowing, all-helping, and all-loving to his people, who was always on his way to reach his Ridho.

That afternoon after Papah showed me the house letter, and just as they had agreed on one thing, Papah and his guest were saying goodbye, and, Papah returned to Cirebon that afternoon after seeing my sisters who were still asleep, did not even know if the Papah had come home, Papah said goodbye to us and said.

"Well, soon it will all be over you will have a new life, a more comfortable home for you, believe me Papah does his best for you, we will never part again like this and Papah will freely show you Papah's affection".

Well all this time Papah was indifferent as if indifferent to us rarely chatted joking at home like before, just to keep us away from the creature, to keep us from the creature, because when Papah shows his affection for us, the creature uses us as Papah's weakness.

"Be careful Pah.. Oya Pah two weeks ago Herti Tea came home".

Said Teh Eli remembering my eldest brother who came two weeks ago did not have time to meet Papah, Papah was shocked and at the same time happy to hear the news.

" The real one, huh,? how's your brother doing? why don't you tell me, Mah Mamah.. ".

Papah called Mamah to make sure, Mamah also approached Papah.

" Yes, what's wrong? ".

Mama.

"Teteh actually two weeks ago came home? how's it going? why don't you tell Papah?".

Papah asked Mamah a question.

" Alhamdulillah Teteh fine We already have Grandson's name Syahrul apandi his age of just 4 months cute Pah fat white, his nose pointed kalo laughing no dimples her".

Mama said enthusiastically telling Papah.

" Thank God,.. Papah already has a grandson, dear Papah did not get to see how many days yesterday Teteh stayed at home?".

There was happiness on Papah's face when he heard that he had a grandson.

"Teeth should go home immediately because they live with the parents of her elderly husband, and sick people are afraid of anything happening if there is a long stay of only two days at home, Sorry Mamah had not had the story earlier we were busy with his guest Papah right, fortunately Eli ingetin".

Mamah couldn't tell me everything about my eldest brother to Papah, because Papah must be sad and angry when he heard all about Teteh while Teteh himself did not mind and accepted his new life with her husband.

But at least Teteh promised not to go to the fields of others again to get a wage, Mamah sure Teteh will keep his promise, he said, and again Mamah had warned my eldest Brother's Husband not to allow his wife to go to someone else's paddy field to earn a wage, whatever the reason, Papah smiled.

"Yes, Teteh love a complete address in Tasikmalaya?, sometime if there is time and more rizki we play there".

Say Papah with spirit.

"Really Pah?!".

Me and Eli tea in unison when we heard we were going to visit my eldest brother, Papah nodded and smiled.

"God willing there is a reward for him do'ain Papah".

Papah said, then Papah pamit went to Cirebon and will go home after two more weeks, after two weeks later Papah came home , Papah got off the car in front of the gate of our house, Papah came down from the car, and opened the gate and put the car into the yard, came down with a few bags of souvenirs for us and Mamah.

"Asalamualaikum..".

Papah greeted Mamah who was standing at the door of the house welcoming Papah's arrival.

"wa aleikum salam..".

Mamah replied to Papah's greeting and kissed Papah's hand, Papah kissed Mamah's forehead."

"You're all right, right?".

Ask Papah.

"Alhamdulillah... Mamah already healthier now Pah, Papah cape long trip let's rest sleep first, then later wake up bath, surely seger, or Papah laper want to eat first?".

Mama said as they walked into the house.

We who heard the coming of Papah approached her and kissed her hand, Papah just smiled not saying anything then went to his room to sleep, we opened by by from Papah.

"Would it be another week of high school enrollment, Papah can not nganterin?".

I who graduated Junior High School at that time will continue my school To High School, I hope Papah can take me to apply to High School.

"Let's Mama aja well Liya who anter you about her Papah just two days at home on Monday Papah has left again her home another month, so Papah will not be able to work in Cirebon".

Said Mamah, I just nodded and lowered my head actually disappointed I wanted Papah anther, because all this time Papah never drove me to school, maybe even Papah doesn't know where my Junior High School is.

But yes, Papah is not at home working, Papah is also working for us, so we can continue school and get a decent life.

At 5:30 pm Papah woke up from his sleep, then took a shower, then we prayed maghrib worship, after that we teach together, until the time of prayer isya, after the prayer isya, after the prayer isya, mamah and Teh Eli prepared food for dinner.

I'm looking after my youngest brother, Papah, Julian and my younger sister, who are playing in the living room with the toys that Papah brought with him this afternoon, after a few moments of calling for dinner we approached, we sat down at the table.

"Here Liya let the fat Aziz Mamah".

I was sitting at the dinner table with my youngest baby sister who was only 1 month old in my sling.

"Well what mah, Aziz also does not cry ko sleep instead Liya can ko eat while carrying Aziz, kasian if in living in his own room, Mamah eat aja".

Mama agreed.

"Yes, we have eaten together you carried Aziz, Mamah who bribed you".

Said Mamah then took the plate and rice, adding another dish for us to eat together.

"Asiikka".

I'm glad Mamah wants to bribe me .

"Ah Eli also wants dong Mah in bribe".

My brother said enviously.

"Julian wants to".

Julian said envy too.

"Neng too...".

Said my sister who was still learning to talk it along.

"Father also mauuu".

Papah didn't want to lose, we all laughed.

"Pah liya next week entered SMA you've started the list".

Said Mamah still in the dining room while feeding me and then feeding herself.

"Oh how much the registration fee is on Friday Papah send money for school registration yes."

Papah.

" No, I got a free scholarship to High School".

Say it coldly.

"Don't you really know? congratulations liya you are your great pinter".

Said Papah keeping his spoon visible in his eyes of pride to his son, I just smiled wryly.

"Kan Liya has already received a scholarship from the first class of Pah Junior High School, her Papah is never, ever busy".

Mamah turned her head towards me, and shook her head hinting I shouldn't say that, I kept quiet and lowered my head.

"You already know the reason why, you think Papah does not miss like he used to joke, telling a close laugh with you like before, God willing, all of them will return like you were patient".

Papah said, in his eyes looks regret Papah asked to maap me with his sad look and I understood, I smiled and nodded.

"Oya Pah how to be a father who yesterday want to buy our house?.

Ask Mamah.

"He is now again in Kalimantan Mahgurusin his coal business, he said about two months away he will go home immediately buy this house, we just wait, well, we just wait, if it's two months away we're moving out of this house".

So in about two months we occupied this house, either happy, and not because this house has become part of our lives.
