Sewer overflows. For herded cats dead rats rotting blackish water. Stuffy thick. Maghrib. Rows of shacks pigsty. Silent. Occasionally there was a step above the water splashing. Muffled laughter of people swarmed around comedy shows on television broadcasts. The shack at the end of the alley, with a dim electric light 5 watt, Grandfather Marijan panting. Her eyes stared blankly Narto, his grandson, frozen with blue face on his stomach on the side of the tub.
Grandfather Marijan wiping the pouring sweat. Slowly he dragged her grandson's corpse. Entered into a sack which had been prepared with neat. Showers
fell again and the sky growing dark when Grandfather Marijan raise sack
into the cart, and slowly pulled down the aisle by aisle muddy muddy. Like wagon wheels rolled over the river. Who knows where. Narto, which actually is very loved grandchildren, bumping. But of course the kid did not feel the cold or the pain of his life have been floated.
"Forgive
Your grandfather," was the phrase that comes out of the mouth
Grandfather Marijan when they wanted to hand over the mouth Narto, boy
aged seven years, with a pillow. Narto wriggle and wriggle when Grandfather Marijan just picked her and burying her body in a tub full of water. Narto mengerjat few moments before the limp, and eventually harden. There is no other way, thought Grandfather Marijan, to avenge your father's pain in my heart. I've already offended and can not forgive himself-law.
Grandfather Marijan-law remembered saying that cause he was offended and hurt. "Old farts useless, always pester people." Marijan's grandfather could only bury that sentence in his mind. Apparently
not once was the law throws the hurtful words and behavior, but rather
repeatedly dirty words gushed from the mouth in-law, both bark and
smooth yet full tone of mockery. "All day hanging out. Make pigeon cages are not incompetent. Huh! Just wait for the rice mateng course of employment." Similarly, the law says, slamming doors and deliberately knocked Grandfather Marijan favorite brewed tea. Tea spilled and broken glass. Grandfather Marijan slumped-glass flake suruk pick. The law still says, "Break it all let me out!" Grandfather Marijan still see the thick sputum throw-law right in front of his face. Narto who suddenly appeared and hugged her from behind, quickly snatched his father, "Do not go near the sluggard, let's go."
Grandfather Marijan remember the look of contempt law as if plunged to the bottom of the bone. From
his bedroom insulated cardboard rotted-law scold Grandfather Marijan
hear, "Do not know how hard it get something to eat. If there are no
cops are kuracuni." Then came a loud tape set.
"Satan:
Man does not know custom, did not know his debts. Basic communists,"
the words just uttered Grandfather Marijan in his room. Indeed, the law sometimes can also be polite and sweet. But Grandfather Marijan liver injury and already hold a grudge. Although her son always said. "Do not be put into the liver. Indeed, nature has been so from the first. Think of the wind." Marijan grandfather would say, his actions are outrageous, but always failed. He understood, certainly more to defend her husband. So he preferred to foster resentment in his heart. Grandfather Marijan knew he was not helpless and it is impossible to wreak revenge on the physical law. Time
feels so long and so painful he had to meet every law in the narrow
house, where the occupants breath sounds with each other. So
Grandfather Marijan more often out of his room, a walk from aisle to
aisle, through the times that the current is slow and the water is
concentrated to bring all kinds of waste as he led Narto every son was
at home after a long day to go somewhere to earn a fortune.
Often indeed, Grandfather Marijan got a good chance to wreak vengeance on the head law slammed the crowbar while snoring. But he did not also do it the power. Always be prevented anxiety orphaned grandson and his son become a widow. And he knows exactly his son often gets rough treatment of her husband. But Grandfather Marijan understand, they still love each other. Plus he was a disabled state. He did not want to Ramanujan are displaced and dead on the side of the tracks.
"Hhh, what does that mean God created creatures sepecundang myself." Grandfather Marijan so often sue bad luck that wrapped around him. He just could sue the whiny complaints that made him ashamed of himself sometimes. "Why did I not kill myself." Well it was just a mere intention intentions that never do. Certainly the fear of pain that must have encountered a dying man by force. He wondered himself why should be afraid to face the pain that would not be too long sting. Though facing life was already so painful, and too pretty to be a reason for ending.
Grandfather Marijan revenge in the hearts of increasingly mounting. Always he bear-resistant to fired. The plan to kill the law clearly difficult. He began to think, to calculate what should be done in order to feel the wrath of the law as they experienced pain. Yes, Grandfather Marijan-law just wanted to feel hurt. No need to physically hurt, let alone kill him.
The way he had planned but failed to do is to have his son around. This was obviously done because it was impossible to work with children who are of course more to defend her husband.
Grandfather Marijan continues to stagger pull the wagon. It grew dark, medium drizzle remained faithful rentanya flushed the body starts to shiver. Flashed
in his head constantly face the red-eyed daughter, barked, "Turn off
tapenya, old man! Maghrib. There is also aware of going in the grave.
Instead of worship." Rang all the time those words. "I am a communist, but appreciate what people worship."
Grandfather Marijan deserve surprised by the last words that came out of the mouth in-law. All he knows, yes communist communists. Anti-religion. Although he also does not matter what it is communism, what is religion. What is her God, what is anti-God. What is clear in-law has led to severe heart broken. And he could not find a way to avenge her hurt. Until then came a wild idea; kill his own granddaughter. He knew Narto so precious to her father is none other than his own son. Narto the only hope for a very proud father. The child must not be harmed. When such occurs desperately defending his father. Marijan grandfather had seen how his son nearly menggolok people who dare to cry cause Narto. One thing that was supposed to make it a big heart.
But at times like this he determined to kill his own granddaughter so that she could be satisfied to see law despondent. And so, when the long-awaited arrival. That night the son with his wife advised to maintain good Narto. They do not want to explain where and for how long. Grandfather Marijan just given money to feed them both for several days. Actually also had hesitated that night when he was about to kill his own granddaughter. Narto face looked exactly the face of the law. Dihidup-turn vengeance in his heart. Glowing red eyes of the law who looked at him with disgust. Rebuke-hardikannya played again in his ears like a cassette tape playing. And it grew as well. Grandfather Marijan does not look like a sleeping Narto face in her arms, but the face of the cruel law. He jumped up, got up grabbed a pillow?***Grandfather
Marijan stopped at the edge of time that surface water is reflected
from the glittering lights of vehicles circulating. At this time it is often seen floating bloated corpse somebody. The dead were killed or committed suicide. Ah, same thing: a corpse. And now his grandson is going to be one of them. Yes, everything has happened as fate. At such times come again another courage; Grandfather Marijan mecemplungkan intend to take part themselves. To death. This is probably the most secure way, so he thinks. Because
he is no longer possible to go home and face the wrath of the law that
sooner or later he would know who had killed his own grandson.
More safe I committed suicide rather than beaten his daughter. Yes, if instant death. Not so heavy to bear risk. When dragged to the police station, tried, and then to jail? ***
