Sore itu sehabis ashar, keluarga berkumpul di ruang tamu, kebetulan hari hujan, jadi lengkaplah semua anggota keluarga. Rumah ketika itu juga sedang direnovasi, tiang-tiang bambu akan diganti dengan besi. Pamanku bercerita bahwa selama ini dia menyimpan rahasia di rumah itu. Kami semua penasaran, dan tak percaya, barulah setelah dia membongkar tiang bambu dan mengeluarkan semua isinya barulah kami percaya. Aku lihat kumpulan uang logam yang jumlahnya lumayan banyak. Entah kapan mulai menabungnya yang jelas lumayan juga jumlahnya. Seandainya aku tahu sejak awal pasti aku sudah berusaha untuk “memanfaatkannya”. Itulah mengapa bambu “harta karun” itu dijaga benar rahasianya hingga waktunya tiba untuk membongkarnya.
Bamboo Pole Piggy Bank
by hans@acehdigest
Grandfather's house looks like most middle of the boat, the main guest house has always said so. The front is left open with a small porch supported from bamboo poles. The yellow bamboo rod is not too big but subtle. In the bamboo poles are small holes like a piggy bank. Who would have thought it's actually a piggy bank. The idea of Uncle Mono, my uncle a big tall with a baritone voice, like a grandfather.
That evening after Asar, the family gathered in the living room, coincidentally the day of rain, so complete all family members. House when it is also being renovated, bamboo poles will be replaced with iron. My uncle told me that he had been keeping secrets in the house. We were all curious, and do not believe, then after he dismantle a bamboo pole and then remove all the contents we believe. I see a coin collection which numbers quite a lot. Either save it clear when it started pretty well in number. If I knew from the beginning I would have tried to "exploit". That is why bamboo "treasure trove" was kept secret until the right time comes to unpack.
