Chapter 6: Run Tu the Villager
Hometown - Bab 6
Run Tu finally arrived.
Run Tu si Penduduk Desa
I looked at him, almost unable to recognize him. He was wearing a worn-out cotton jacket, his face covered with wrinkles, and his eyes looked exhausted. His hands were rough, covered with calluses. These were hands that had labored for years.
Run Tu akhirnya tiba.
When he saw me, a smile appeared on his face, saying, "Young Master, you're back."
Saya memandangnya, hampir tidak bisa mengenalinya. Dia mengenakan jaket katun usang, wajahnya penuh kerutan, dan matanya terlihat lelah. Tangannya kasar, penuh kapalan. Ini adalah tangan yang telah bekerja keras selama bertahun-tahun.
I smiled and said, "Run Tu, you've come. Come in and sit down."
Ketika dia melihat saya, senyum muncul di wajahnya, berkata, "Tuan Muda, Anda kembali."
He walked into the room and sat on a chair. Mother brought him tea. He respectfully took the teacup and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Saya tersenyum dan berkata, "Run Tu, kamu datang. Masuk dan duduklah."
I looked at him, feeling very sad. Is this still the lively Run Tu? Is this still the Run Tu who ran in the melon fields? He has now become so old, so silent.
Dia berjalan ke dalam ruangan dan duduk di kursi. Ibu membawakannya teh. Dia dengan hormat mengambil cangkir teh dan berkata, "Terima kasih, Nyonya."
Saya memandangnya, merasa sangat sedih. Apakah ini masih Run Tu yang lincah? Apakah ini masih Run Tu yang berlari di ladang melon? Dia sekarang menjadi begitu tua, begitu pendiam.
