THE FORMER BLIND COLLECTION HOUSE IJO
Chapter 69 I want to go home 1

"aakkhhh, astaghfirullah hal ajim"

I said when I woke up, and almost fell down, if I did not quickly hold on to a twig, and immediately hugged the big banyan tree, I hugged her tightly even though the trunk was large, my embrace could only hug a quarter of the trunk of the banyan tree, I sat on a large, tall branch of the banyan tree.

I closed my eyes, I wished it was just a dream, I wished I would wake up from my dream, I could take my hand off from the banyan tree, I slapped my cheek a few times and pinched my cheek.

"Wake up.. wake up this liyaa is just a dream".

I said as I continued to slap my own cheek, and pinched my other cheek and arm, which I used to hug the trunk of the banyan tree.

"Damara...."

There was a giggling sound of Granny laughing, I opened my eyes, pointing my back to the origin of the laughing voice, I circulated my gaze left to right up, I looked up, because of the origin of his voice was heard everywhere.

Finally my gaze was fixed under the banyan tree, and there deep under the banyan tree, a grandmother stood giggling with laughter, and there was a granny, The grandmother looked small from my view on the banyan tree, I squinted my eyes, looking at who Grandma was.

Like her I've seen her, I was pensive for a moment and yaaa, I remembered that Grandma, Grandma who was full of scabs on her body that I met earlier on the road when I walked with Ratih went towards Aunt Ana's house.

Although from where I am now I cannot see clearly the scabs that filled Grandma's body, but I still remember her squatting body structure and wearing the cane and grey kebaya shirt she was wearing.

"Mother help me, Grandma.. Please get me down from here, why did I get here, Grandma? who brought me up here?".

Said me, and again Grandma was just laughing giggling.

"Hishihi... "

I frowned and wondered why Grandma was laughing, as if it were good to see a frightened me in this big, tall banyan tree.

"Grandma laughs, help me, Grandma, call people to help me"

I said, pleading with the Grandma to call upon those who can lower me from the trunk of the banyan tree, where I am I can look down, down the road, down the road, I could see people and vehicles passing by.

"Heyy.... Sir...Kang...Mother.. help me..., I'm here in the banyan tree help me to come down, I can't come down.I want to go home".

I cried out to those who I saw passing the road, but they were indifferent to me they did not hear my voice calling and asking for help, I heard Grandma laughing again as she watched and listened to me screaming for help.

" Hihihihi hihihi...".

Grandma said that her voice was very clear in my ears, even though she was far down there.

"Why don't they hear me, Grandma, if that's how Grandma talked to them, please get them down from here".

I shouted at the Grandma, for she was far below from my position sitting on the branch of this tall, lush banyan tree.

"They can't hear you, they can't see you".

Grandma said again her voice was very clear as Grandma was talking right in my ear.

" Why?, why can't they hear and see me?, who's raising me here? who made me come here?.

Saying again scream.

"Oh!!! (Me)".

"What do you mean, Grandma?".

I was confused by Grandma's answer.

" Aing nu mawa maneh kanya, aing nu naekkeun maneh ka tangakal caringin (i brought you there, I raised you to the banyan tree".

I was shocked, and could not believe what Grandma said.

"No way Grandma could raise me up and take me to this banyan tree, and Grandma with a cane, Grandma wouldn't be strong enough to bring me here, Grandma's old how Grandma brought me here".

The grandmother laughed gigglingly and she turned her head to look at me, The grandmother turned her head to me, and she slowly floated up towards me.

My eyes widened, watching Grandma drift and rise, slowly but surely, now that she was before me, her tinsel was now clearly visible especially in her face.

I who was shocked to see her fly now more frightened and horrified to see the face of Grandma full of tin cans, and, and the ulcers are more obvious and disgusting now than I first saw on the street when I walked with Ratih.

I turned my face away and closed my eyes, I hid my face in my arms while my hands were still firmly hugging the trunk of the banyan tree, there was a giggling sound laughing Grandma the piggy bank, she said, making me shiver now I believe the words of Ratih who said that Grandma was a subtle creature.

"Moment...Mah. please liya Mah..."

I said while crying

"Mom......."

I cried out so much that Mamah could hear me, without opening my eyes and still hiding my face in my arms and still hugging the trunk of the big banyan tree, I heard Mamah's voice.

"Liya.. This is Mamah... "

The voice was faintly heard by me, I stopped crying, and wanted to make sure that it was true Mamah's voice, I called out to Mamah again.

"Mahh...?Mamah where. please liya Mah... "

I shouted, The grandmother laughed even louder.

"Liya this is Mama, Mamah here is Liya".

The sound of Mamah's voice this time was clearer, like speaking in my ears.

"Kunaon blindfold maneh, pretentious open eyes na, another na earlier maneh recipe pisan ningali keun aing?, teu eureun-euren nempokeun aing, (Why did you close your eyes, let's open your eyes, teu, not that you were so curious about me, you couldn't see me)".

Said the Grandma and laughed unceasingly

"Sorry Nek, I was just squirming Grandma".

My words, still closing my eyes and hiding my face sound giggling Granny it laughs.

" Kunya? mun karunya ka aing Naha atuh nyumput kitu, pokent open eyes na, maneh pan ka runya ka aing so maneh bakalan nga baturan aing didieu, aing teu boga batur maneh will nga baturan aing didieu hihihi hihihi (kasian? if you know why you're hiding like that, let's open your eyes, you're the same as me so you have to keep me here, I don't have any friends you'll be my friends here, hihihihihihihi)".

Said the Grandma, and giggled again that made me creep and more frightened.
