CURSE Or GRACE
Grey Memory

Mr. Slamet lives with Hana and her husband. Hannah and her husband were not married long ago. They live in a rented house on the outskirts of Jakarta. Both of them looked happy and they also greeted the three guests kindly. Mr. Slamet has told them who is coming to his house at this time.

"I didn't expect to see you here. Panji, you're all grown up now, I can't believe you're this handsome, handsome young man, and you're Nissa, you're as beautiful as your mother." Hana said politely and cheerfully.

"Thank you, sister, Hana is also getting beautiful, how long have we not met, sister?"

"It's been over two years, you're still wearing a blue white uniform if it's not wrong."

"When did Hana get married?"

"It's only been four months, since then you've been living here. Oh yes I want to thank you for healing my father, I don't know how to return the favor to you."

"Oh sorry Brother Hana, we came not to do that, we just want to meditate and ask for a little information from Brother, maybe Kak Hana has been told a little by the father why he stayed at our house." Panji explained.

"Yes, I told you, but I but I don't know anything about it, I was already working in Jakarta when it happened."

" Before that I want to apologize profusely to Kak Hana, because what we will ask for an explanation may be something dark that Kak Hana does not want to remember anymore, but we plead that Kak Hana is pleased we believe it to be the key to solving this case." Nissa returned to playing diplomacy, she said amazingly, Hana became curious, she looked at Nissa with a question mark.

"According to Mr, Kak Hana works in Jakarta because there was a disturbance when Kak Hana worked in the village office, how exactly did it happen?" Hana choked when she heard the last sentence Nissa said. His tongue was mute, he looked at all the people one by one. Her gaze fell on her husband who was gathered with them. She fell down, her husband approached and held her hand. Hana crying.

"Tell me baby, don't worry, I don't care about your past, I love you for who you are. They sincerely help you, we should also be able to help as much as we can."

Hana was still crying, she nodded to her husband and smiled, her husband smiled back. Hana held her breath trying to bring out everything she harbored.

"When it was just bada isya, I was still in the village office, there were some jobs that I had to finish that day. It's just me and a hansip who's in the background. Suddenly I was surprised because Mr. Prayitno came. He drives his own car. Hansip was told to wash his car. He doesn't seem to know I'm in the office. He was surprised to see me too. He was drunk, from his mouth the smell of liquor. I say hello politely. He didn't return my greeting. He looked at me sharply, and began to attack me." Hana's tears came back, she tried to hold back from crying, but eventually she was still sobbing sedan.

"I tried to rebel, but he was so strong, my clothes had already dated all even my insides with savage he was torn, I was resigned, my energy was exhausted, my hands were firmly blocked, my arms were firmly blocked, I can only pray for a miracle to come." This time Hanna's cry was louder, her husband hugging her giving her support.

"God heard my prayer, a man came, he pulled a gourd from above me, before he could ruin my honor. He gave me his jacket to cover my body, he dragged him out and brought him back into the car. Previously he had mtenghajar Hansip in front of the negligent. Hansip told her to open her pants and handed her pants to me. I came home with the man's jacket and pants."

All those in the guest room could not hold their tears and felt so heavy burden that had been stored in Hana's memory. Hannah wept, prostrating herself at the feet of her husband.

"I'm sorry Mas, I'm keeping this a secret to you." Her husband pulled Hana bediri, he wiped Hana's tears with his hands, he smiled.

"Who is the man who saved Hana's sister?" Nissa asked again when Hana had returned to her seat more calmly.

"Deliver! Since that incident I just found out that Mr. Lurah never came home, he always returned to the office. No local officer wants to be overtime. I was a new employee at the time."

"What hurts more for Hanna is that I had to tell her to leave the house, leave her mother. He initially refused But I insisted, I don't want the next one Pak Lurah managed to stain my son, because I know I will not be able to face Pak Lurah and his strength. I'll take him to Jakarta tomorrow morning. I put it in my best friend's house. She and her mother cried until morning." Mr. Slamet who had just been silent continued the story of Hana, Hana approached his father to gather in his presence holding and kissing both hands of his father.

"No! It is you who suffer because of Me, the mother immediately strokes as soon as I leave. Dad never told me, and he forbade my mom to tell me every time I called home, mom always said just be healthy. You tried to protect me and keep taking care of my mother patiently until she died. You no longer care about him until he gets pancreatic cancer I don't know how I can repay you for your kindness." Hana cried and spread her head in her father's lap. Mr. Slamet cried bitterly while stroking the princess's hair.

It was late when they got home. Ratna asked her people for permission to stay. All the tired and tired felt his body will not be able to beat the emotions that hit the souls of the two brothers who were sitting pensive on the sofa. Ratna thought that no human being could sense what they were feeling right now. The food he ordered was sprawled on his desk with no one to touch him. Ratna did not know what to do and said to them. He felt strange with himself, he who used to be lazy-ceplos not because this time really dead style.

The night is getting late, Panji moves towards the bathroom. He decided to take a shower and pray before going to bed. Nissa did it after Panji. Nissa signaled to Ratna that she wanted to sleep. Ratna who had been sitting was staring at the two of them following Nissa's steps into the room. The night continued to run by as the seconds passed. Ratna couldn't sleep, and she knew Nssa couldn't close her eyes either. Ratna was amazed by the mental toughness of these two teenagers and she was sure if she accepted this ordeal, no matter what she did. His father decided to leave when his business faltered in the village. Prasetyo became a delinquent when he found out he had a wet lung disease that almost buried his dream of becoming a cop. Ratna asked in her heart where the power came from. The answer is on the prayer mat and mukena neatly folded on the edge of the bed. He hasn't touched her for so long. Ratna's eyes started to glaze over. Sssatu in him led him to the madi's room to fetch ablution water and he put on his mukenya. Nissa who was unable to sleep observed Ratna's movements immediately cried happily without a sound.

After the prayer, the three breakfast together prepare to do their activities as usual.

"Mas Panji, are we leaving this Saturday to see mom?"

"So! We all visited my father."

"Then we leave Friday afternoon, we stay overnight at the new hotel the next morning moving again."

"you want to come?" Panji looked at Ratna.

"You want to ban me? No way!"

"Will Mas Panji pressure you to tell the truth?" Nissa diverted the potential for commotion between her leds.

"Of course, Nissa, maybe you are more panda to persuade your father to tell you, because everything we know is still not the truth. The truth is in the mouths of our fathers and mothers."

"What if you keep insisting you don't want a story?"

" Well! You think about the strategy from now on, can't fail, ok!" Panji stood up while pulling Nissa's nose with his two fingers.
