Kami berlima bergayutan di pohon waru di depan tungku pembakaran logam, pohon berdaun lebar dengan bunga kuning itu memang tumbuh tepat di pinggiran jalan tepat diseberang rumah yang ditinggali para penjaja es krem sorong alias es dung-dung, karena setiap kali penjaja lewat membunyikan sebuah benda berbentuk bulat dengan bagian tengah sedikit benjol yang biasa kami sebut dengan gong atau kenong kecil yang berbunyi dung-dung-dung setiap kali di pukul.
Pohon itu selalu menarik perhatian kami karena berdahan kuat dengan bagian batang besar pohon itu meliuk mendekati bagian permukaan air, apalagi jika air mengalir deras, kami bisa mengayunkan kaki menyentuh air, kemudian bergantian bergayutan. Namun di hari naas itu Andung kakak kelasku terjatuh, dan sialnya bagian bawah semak yang ditumbuhi bunga bersegi lima berwarna putih, baru saja dipangkas para pencari rumput untuk memudahkan memilah rumput, dan fatalnya lagi andung tepat jatuh diantara dahan yang sedang dalam keadaan terpotong, maka tak disangka oleh siapapun "anunya" terluka sayat yang cukup membuat aku tak sanggup makan selama beberapa hari.
Aku tak ingat kemudian bagaimana proses pertolongannya, dalam keadaan terluka parah, dibawa kerumah sakit terdekat dengan becak yang melintas di pinggiran jalan, dan seminggu kemudian kami sudah mendapatinya di rumah mengenakan sarung seperti habis sunat, dengan beberapa jahitan dibagian yang aku ceritakan tadi. Dan sejak itu pula resmilah ia menyandang predikat "penis tambalan". begitulah dalam dunia anak-anak, sesuatu yang menyakitkan tetap saja bisa menjadi kegembiraan, bahkan di kemudian hari Andung membanggakan "anunya" yang tak biasa itu.
Fatal Accident
by hans-acehdigest
This story is not about me, but I can never forget this one, it could be this for the first time I saw something fatal. I even called him "penis patch", since the ill-fated because his penis was badly torn in the accident was fatal.
Bergayutan five of us in the hibiscus tree in front of the furnace metal, broad-leaved trees with yellow flowers that are grown right on the edge of the road just opposite the house occupied by an ice cream ice sliding aka dung-dung, because every time a vendor through a ring-shaped objects rounded to the center of the little bumps that we call a gong or a ring of small kenong dung-dung-dung at each time.
The tree was always attracted our attention due to the strong branchy trunk of the tree close to the curved surface of the water, especially if the water flowed freely, we can swing leg touches the water, then turns hanging. But on that fateful day Andung brother dropped my class, and unfortunately the bottom of an overgrown bush pentagonal white flowers, freshly mowed grass seekers to facilitate the sort of grass, and fatal falls among right again grandmother who was in a state branch cut, then no suspected by anyone "his goods" slice injured enough to make me unable to eat for several days.
I do not remember then how to process his help, the state was seriously injured, was taken to the hospital closest to a passing rickshaw on a side road, and a week later we find him at home wearing a sarong like it had been circumcised, with a few stitches section that I told you. And since then also on the record he bears the title of "penis patch". that's how the world of children, something that still can be painful joy, even in later life Andung boasts "his goods" are not unusual
