CANDRAMAYA STORY
Part 26: Woman Waiting for a Jackfruit Tree

Maybe the story this time is a little different because what I'm going to tell this time is the story of someone I met when Desi and I were visiting Elis some time ago.

That morning Desi asked me to accompany her to the house of Elis, because what Elis had done Desi felt indebted to Elis. When the three of us were chatting suddenly there was a girl who dragged her suitcase and asked us for an address. We are happy to inform you of the address asked by the girl.

There was not much conversation between us just as the girl asked for the address and we told the address, and then the girl went in the direction we showed. The purpose of the girl is the boarding of Ms. Danastri, the boarding of Ms. Danastri is indeed an alternative for college children whose finances are mediocre. Although the cost of Danastri bu cost is fairly cheap but the cost is very clean and well maintained, so the children who cost there at home until someone has graduated from college and has worked there.

A little story about Ms. Danastri, she was a new widow last year her husband died of illness. Ms. Danastri is a person who can be said to be because her husband is a civil servant. The children of Ms. Danastri have also become successful people overseas and some are married and follow her husband outside the city.

Because of feeling lonely, Ms. Danastri finally chose to turn her house into boarding houses and Ms. Danastri herself lived in her youngest child's house. Only occasionally does Ms. Danastri come to the boarding house if there are new children who are boarding or just visiting the boarding children.

Actually there is nothing strange about the boarding house of Danastri, even boarding children are friendly except one person who is a little closed and rarely hangs out with others , but from the other kids I know her name is Ms. Hanum.

Fara's point of view

Oh yeah before I started to know my name is Faranisa Adelia Larina but I'd rather be called Fara. I moved to this city because I continued my studies at one of the universities in this city, I majored in communication. The beginning of my move in this city nothing strange all goes as it should, I went to college from 07:00 am to 16:00 pm, but because of that time there was one course that required me to go home later than usual so I got to boarding around 20:00 p.m.

Each boarding child holds the gate key, because it avoids unwanted things so the gate is always locked. As I was about to enter my room, I heard the sound of someone humming softly until I had to sharpen my hearing to make sure that what I heard was really a human voice.

The longer the sound the more heard but no longer people humming but changing into crying. There were no strange thoughts in my brain, I immediately searched for the source of the sound and my eyes were made to look at Hanum as I looked under the jackfruit tree with disheveled hair and pale face.

“Mbak, mbak Hanum why is it here?” I asked who panicked to see the condition of Hanum barefoot and his face was pale, he continued to cry even though I tried to calm him.

“Mbak I drove in yuk” I held Hanum's mother back in her room, but when I was about to open the door of Hanum's bedroom door like it was locked from the inside. I tried to break down the door to Hanum's bedroom. And I was shocked when someone opened the door to Hanum's bedroom.

“Mbak Hanum?” I was surprised when the person who opened the door was Hanum, I reflexively turned to my side where the Hanum mother I had met was standing but there was no one beside me.

“This is why?”

“Ta-tadi a-aku mmmm” Somehow my lips feel stiff and hard to speak. And the rest of the boarding house came out of their rooms because they heard the noise I made.

“Hanum, Fara kalian why?” Tanya was Yuli who was approaching me at the time

“Take away this obscure child” Say mbak Hanum chilled ”BRAKKKK” While closing the door rough room. I was still speechless without being able to say a word only tears and cold sweat kept flowing.

Ma'am Yuli and Mbak Eka took me to my room, mbak Yuli tried to calm me who still looks shocked. Ma'am Eka went out and then came to bring me a glass of warm tea.

“Fara, Istigfar Fara” I say Istigfar many times in my heart because my lips still feel stiff, until when my lips can be back I give a cry so badly dibak Yuli. I'm still not ready to tell you what I just experienced I'm still very, very shocked.

Fortunately, Yuli was kind enough to accompany me to sleep in my room tonight. Right at midnight I felt my head hurt not only my head even my whole body and in the morning I had a fever. I am so grateful that Yuli took good care of me.

“Mbak Yuli, sorry I became ngerepotin”

“Still yes mbak already took care of me”

“This you, just relax we are both nomads here. Hmmmm why are you?”

“So last night when I came home I squirmed.” Someone knocked on my bedroom door

“Iya briefly” Mbak Yuli immediately opened the door, and I could see that person was Ms. Hanum. I could see the look in his eyes towards me, I lowered my head trying to avoid Hanum's gaze.

“Mbak Hanum yes mbak?”

“Iya, this morning I ate with Hanum I don't have the heart to leave you”

“Ohhh gitu” Honestly I feel bad about Hanum

“Why you?”

“Mbak Hanum is still angry not yes mbak same me?”

“No, he was also in your condition. You don't have to worry even though Hanum is closed but he's actually good. This yaudah eaten first”

I forced to eat the rice given by Yuli even though it was only a few mouthfuls because my mouth still felt bitter.

“Far, are you okay?”

“Udah mbak”

“Kalo I stay a while is okay?”

“Nothing kok mbak”

“I need a moment later if there is anything to ask for help others yes, Hanum is also like at home Eka briefly again also home earlier I also nitipin you to Eka”

“You know a lot mbak, Fara so not tasty”

“This you, yaudah I go first”

“Be careful ya mbak”

After Yuni left, I was alone in my room and I felt bored for a long time. My body was also sick because all day sleeping in the mattress, I also decided to take a walk around the cost. But when I saw the jackfruit tree I felt something was asking me to approach the jackfruit tree.
