Meeting Point
"Son, I asked you to tell me everything to the father, what you experienced during the departure from the village of meriang bay until you were stranded here" said Ustad Saleh
"Sir, before I got here, I was very happy with my grandparents" Subhan said. Subhan's eyes began to look at the walls of Sarto's house. When telling stories, Subhan seemed very appreciative.
"If you may know, who's your grandmother?" ask ustad Saleh to Suban.
"My grandmother was named Supatmi, and my grandfather was named muejadi" Subhan said with great confidence.
Hearing the familiar name in his ears, Ustad Saleh said
"Do you live on the slopes of the mountain of merapi?" ask ustad godly suddenly
"Well, how do you think Saleh knows?" That's right" I live under the slopes of Merapi and my village is called the village of meriang bay" said Subhan with confidence.
"The gulf village is meriang?" murmured Ustad Saleh while recalling about 10 years ago, he received guests of a couple who managed to survive the eruption of the volcano that attacked the village.
"Oh, what are the names of your father and mother" said Ustad Saleh began asking about the name of Subhan's mother's father.
"My father was Suparman and my mother was Sumiati" My grandmother said" My grandmother said my father and mother never returned to the village after going across the river near the village" That's why I can't cross this river either" Unfortunately, I'm very wayward and secretly cross this river just now" Now, I'm sorry, I want to go back to my village" My grandmother must be looking for me" subhan said with his eyes still glazed.
"Ustad Soleh shook his head and tried to block Subhan's plan by saying
"If you can, you don't go back to that village, son" If you want to go back, I'll accompany you back there" That way you'll see for real what's really going on" say ustad Soleh to Subhan
Ustad Saleh began to sigh deeply and told the story of the village that Subhan inhabited.
"Know son, the village you live in now does not exist" replied Ustad Saleh briefly
"Loh, isn't there?" are my grandparents in danger?" subhan asked increasingly cluelessly
"No Subhan" That's not what I mean" But, actually, you live alone in that village" replied Ustad Saleh briefly.
"The village has disappeared after the eruption of the volcano that attacked about 10 years ago" said Ustad Saleh, making the answer clear.
"Well, if it's gone, why am I still there?" ustad must be lying" Subhan said half in disbelief.
"Son, if you don't believe me, I'll take you to the village" But I have to come with you, because you can't leave me alone" Ustad Soleh told Subhan
"Yes, I want to go back and see my grandmother" I still can't believe what you're saying" Subhan replied.
"Yes, son, go to sleep first" Tomorrow we will talk again" Now I will go home first" replied Ustad Saleh
Ustad Saleh left Subhan. In the heart of Saleh he thought of his story 10 years ago when he met a couple who survived the rampage of the eruption of Mount Merapi.
"Are the two men Subhan's father and mother?" muttered ustad Saleh kept thinking while walking home towards his house
