Transmigration: The Promise of Echoes
CHAPTER 05 ~ Return of Giver Name ~

The Wasis truck entered their home. As usual, every afternoon after four hours Lastri was sunning Gya, his daughter. His full name is Pratigya Gema.

Out of nowhere Wasis got the name Pratigya, here's what it means. No one in the house knew. Another case with his last name, Echoes. 

Gema is the given name of Lastri. Similar to Wasis, Lastri also blurted out the name without understanding where the following source means. Only one is certain, Pure is very fond of Gya's call for his adopted grandson.

"Gya see what grandfather brought this," said Wasis.

Pure who just came out of the front door was chimed with the sound of a baby who had just learned to talk, "Cutta belajal street tatek!'

"Geez sir, it's still a long time Gya can just wear this!" sahut Lastri's.

"Nothing Las, but again there is sustenance!" reply Wasis.

"It can be saved first!" murni

"Thank you Sir! Ma!" Always the words that Lastri can convey every he and Gya get the good of the couple who has helped him a lot.

"Well! That Gya has already dried enough of it!" murni said, "it's two months old!"

"Eh, yes, Mom!"

Lastri went inside. Time to bathe Gya. Usually after finishing the bath, Lastri gave his daughter who had perfumed it to Wasis. His foster father was very proud if asked to baby momong born in his house. Lastri will be in the kitchen to prepare dinner for them.

It didn't feel like I had been in that house for half a year. He is now eighteen years old. There is no intention of going back to school. It was also delayed due to economic difficulties. The delay of the school for two years made Lastri decide to accept the offer of package C that will be cultivated by Murni.

No less happiness is present for Lastri and the family. Until noon an ambulance entered the yard of their house. Yeah, that ambulance was carrying the body of the wasse. 

Wasis's death was estimated at ten in the morning, while waiting for payment of palm products from the factory. A well-appointed wasse out of the house fit to work. Fulfilling the needs of the family, now home has become a corpse. Truly, the age of man no one can know.

News of the death of the Wasis spread quickly. Because the ambulance had made a motorcade since bringing the body from the factory. Many Wasis associates took part between the bodies to return home one last time.

Neighbors, friends of the deceased and business associates arrived. They were eager to see the face of Wasis for the last time. Also want to give some comfort to Pure. 

Having been a couple for almost forty years, it was not enough for Pure to be a crybaby. Pure looks tough. Pure fortitude is seen when meeting guests who come to worship. She unceasingly thanked everyone who expressed condolences for her husband's passing

Lastri looks confused to cope with the guests who come. As for Gya he entrusted to Bu Kotjo, his neighbor. Too many people he doesn't know. Whether it's the surrounding residents or people who still have family relations with the couple. 

Luckily, death is coming soon. Lastri was not so busy in accepting the sympathy given by the mourners who came. Wasis must be admitted during life is very known for his friendliness and kindness. 

Not long after the Wasis truck arrived. He was driven by Gianto, a traffic cop of the rank of Bripka. Presumably he has been asked to help the factory and his office to deliver the deceased truck to the family.

"Gianto!" So the police officer introduced his name to Lastri.

"I'm Pastri, what's wrong?"

"I was assigned to deliver Mr. Wasis' truck!"

"Yes?" Lastri wait for further explanation from Gianto.

"I'd like to see Wasis's mother!"

"Mom can't find you yet, still bother inside

"Just a minute!"

"What's wrong?"

"I want the key!"

"Just be with me?"

"Just like the fruit payment from the factory!'

"How much?"

Lastri was given a note by Gianto. The kilogram amount and the price per kilo and the total are paid. What a big amount of money for Lastri.

"You want to wait for me or you want to leave!" lastri said after seeing the nominal listed is quite large.

Gianto feels unhappy because it is underappreciated by Lastri who only mentions you to him. Your name is only commonly used by leaders or seniors on him. Gianto did not know that the soul in the body of Lastri was a policewoman with a rank of five levels above her.

"Then I'll just wait here!" Gianto did not believe in handing the money over to Lastri.

"So public servants do not gig," said Lastri while leaving the police Bintara, he wanted to immediately help his adoptive mother in the house.

Before dark arrived the funeral procession was all finished. Purely did not want to delay the burial of the corpse of Wasis. He did not want his beloved husband to have to wait long to face the Creator of heaven and earth. 

"My mother Gianto!" Once there was a chance to get close the young policeman introduced himself to Murni.

"Oh, my son, thank you for helping!" Pure has seen Gianto's deeds in front of his house.

"Here I have the keys to the truck and the money from the factory!"

"Oh yes thank you," Purely received the key and the envelope containing the last palm fruit payment money made by Wasis.

"Together Mom, I'm going home!"

"Thank you, yes" said Lastri as she held her adoptive mother's left arm.

"Together Deck!" Gianto immediately left the residence of the late Wasis after fulfilling his duties.

It was a very exhausting day for the family. Extremely tired even in thought or physical. In disbelief if the head of the family they had always relied on was gone for good. 

Pure only had a moment to rest and try to reflect on his fate. Now it is the turn of the people around to come to pray together. Lastri haru will sincerity and sincerity of the neighbors, friends, friends and family in giving prayers for the deceased Wasis and support to Murni.

Luckily Armen, Bu Kotjo's only son is willing to represent them as the host. However, men are more deserving of receiving and welcoming guests who come. For three consecutive days Armen did that selflessly.

"Tante, tomorrow Me-men has entered work again" said Armen.

"Yes, it's Monday again!" Purely completely forgot about the day since her husband died three days ago, "Tante went in first huh!"

So quiet was felt after Pure entered back into his room. Lastri knew for sure what Pure was doing in the room there. Pure as if to complain to her late husband how lonely she is at the moment.

The silence broke when Gya came out being carried by Bu Kotjo. Armen seemed happy to see Gya so plump. Then he said, Great Om yes!"

"What do you mean Men?" Lastri asked the 26-year-old.

"Son Lastri, Armen is way above your age!" Bu Kotjo intended to say that Lastri was not worthy to just mention the name to Armen.

"Already Mom!" Sergey Armen felt that there was some nonsense that was not suitable for Lastri. Not one bit he felt underappreciated because the young mother who was far below his age just said his name without the frills of honor calls.

"Yes, I want to meet your daughter first!" Kotjo left the three of them.

Lastri was not angry with Armen. It's just that Armen's praise of the late Wasis needs to be explained further. Lastri's instincts arise to clarify the meaning of Armen's praise of the late Wasis.

"Yes, finally Om can fulfill the promise to make Gya a super cool boy," said Armen while teasing Lastri's child, "yes Gya!"

"What did you ever say?"

"Pas Gya was born Om once said to meet all the needs of Gya! A lot of promise to him!"

"If it is!"

"Yes I can see from Gya's performance," said Armen, "it's like a celebrity boy!"

Lastri laughed at Armen. He took it as a compliment to his daughter. Lastri became curious, wanting to know what the late Wasis had said to Armen. Lastri often saw the two of them talking on holiday nights while Wasis was still alive.

"Just promise me that word!" Armen tell me what they're talking about.

"Oh!"

"With him your son is given the name Pratigya!"

"What language is Pratigya?"

"Sanskrit!"

"That means?"

"Promise!"

Lastri recalled the third day after Gya's birth. Exactly when the name was spoken from the mouth of his adoptive father. A chat with Armen has been the answer to why Wasis chose that name. Even very happy with the name in order to keep reminding of his promise to Gya.

Why do you agree to use the name Pratigya, meaning also do not know, Lastri sat in his mind as his mind floated at the time of the naming incident.
