In the village, No FirefliesShort Story: Koto IndrianHave you ever heard the history of a firefly? That's right, folks. He created the nail dead. Unnatural death, indeed. According to the story my grandmother, people are dying in fear and anxiety. The nails are removed while the person is still alive. Since it always comes fireflies at night to look for nails that never goes away.In the end my grandmother would not let me to catch fireflies. Just bring bad luck and misfortune alone, he said. Catch fireflies, means disrupting the homecoming nail dead. It could be, he added, children will be harassed him in a dream. And indeed, a few times I've been unable to sleep well made.As with other age fellows, I really like fireflies. Kerlipnya, like the sparkling eyes sometimes, occasionally turns wistful. Twinkle in her body seemed to want to talk much to me. I do not know what. At other times it was like looking at me with a feeling of emptiness. Is there a way home he asked?Just like Grandma's, beacons Buya - teachers, we - also prohibit catching fireflies. Buya forbade us, just because of sheer pity. Firefly is much more beautiful when she left to fly, then let it glow until morning, he added. No need to catch it, because-added Buya - fireflies are the directions for the other night creatures. Like a lighthouse in the ocean, like. Ah, still remember the voyage he occasionally had recounted to us - a male - while staying in the mosque at night.***I do not know why I was so happy to catch fireflies. When
I got home the Koran, for example, when passing through the path on the
edge of time, or when passing through a vast expanse of banana
interspace at the end of the village - our surau is located far end of
the village, a little bit on the edge of rice fields - hundreds of
fireflies would always tease us all way home.When
passing through that stretch of interspace bananas, will flow a lot of
stories which of course would make a female friend squealing with fear. Not infrequently, once in a while - when the full moon shines brightly - and plug participate suluah extinguished. At such times we - the men - sneak into adulthood and learning opportunities. I immediately embraced Yuni, sweet girl who became seizure comrades. (Ah, why do likewise told me something that has been broken).***Are there any you really believe that the fireflies from the dead nail?I still like a firefly, quietly. Caught and put into the holster, plastic clothes are provided. I and my friends will compete to earn the most. And look kerlipnya in our bodies,
