Kim Jennie Gren

Kim Jennie Gren is a girl who is 17 years old. The young girl has a beautiful face, starting from her beautiful eyes, a nose that is neither too sharp nor flat, lips that look soft, and her skin is white. Gren has the look that all teenagers her age want. But that's all Gren has. There is no educational schedule that fills her days like most 17-year-olds who are busy wrestling with their college activities.

Gren is just a girl born in a village, away from the hustle and bustle of the capital. Born to both parents who work as farmers. Gren's mother, Monika Poetri, is 48 years old. Agus Setiawan Wibowo, or often called Pak Agus, is a father and husband who is tough and loves every member of his family. At the age of 50, several strands of white hair began to decorate his head. During his stay in this village, Pak Agus always helped residents with everything he had. Even when they are at a critical time, Pak Agus is happy to help.

One day, on a hot day, when they were plowing the fields as usual, suddenly there was a woman's scream, which was quite a beak and faintly from a distance.

"HELP !!!!! HELP !!! "

The same words were heard over and over again. Without thinking twice, Gren's parents quickly got out of the muddy puddle to immediately run to help towards the source of the sound. As they approached the woman, who looked the same age as his wife, it turned out that the woman was being confronted by a rice snake that was quite long and seemed ready to bite one part of her body.

"Huusshh !! Hussh !! Go away !! " Banish it using a thin stick that he knows where he found it.

"Don't hurt it mom, just let it go by itself. Is the mother a new resident in this area? I never saw you. " asked Mr Agus, who knew for sure every resident in the village.

"Yes sir, I just moved here a few days, to avoid the busyness of the city in old age and reminisce about my youth." she answered with a friendly smile, a little laugh looking at Mrs Monika.

"Sari is you ??? Sari Tri Fitri ?? The kid in junior high got the first rank ??" shouted the mother to make sure she remembered the middle aged woman in front of her. When who was asked nodded, she immediately rushed to hug his old friend who had long disappeared.

"Wow, look at you, you forget me, hahaha How have you been all this..?" Mother Monika hugged her back while gently stroking because she felt that her best friend had started crying.

"Very well. In fact, I'm already married and blessed with a daughter." "How about you? Where have you been? Promised to send letters during middle school first, but you only send in the first 2 months. " she continued with resentment and deep longing, wiping the remaining water in the corner of his eye.

"Is it true that you already have a daughter? Wow, that's good news. I am also married but a year ago he died " she replied calmly but still had a very sad meaning. Again, Mrs Monika hugged her best friend. "Be patient ... God loves your husband more."

"Hahaha yes I know, that's the reason why I came here. Because there is no longer any reason to see the bustle of the city. And also I have been granted a son who is 22 years old. Ripe age for marriage and I plan to find a girl from my hometown. "

"Just get married to our daughter," said Mr Agus, who had been listening to the conversation between the two friends.

"Sir? Isn't it too fast to marry Gren at 17 years old? " his wife asked softly but was a little surprised.

"We'll just talk at home, it was already evening. You don't mind if you talk about it first? " he asked Sari

"No problem, it would be my pleasure if my son married the daughter of my best friend."

....

In contrast to the busyness of the mother and father. Gren's daily activities teach the neighbours' children without his parents knowing. Whereas Gren's intention to teach was to let the children know how to read, write and count. Because Gren realized that even to reach high school he was grateful that his mother and father were able to educate him. Not all children in this village have the opportunity to attend school. That's why she spread the little knowledge that he has selflessly so that someday these children have a better life than Gren. Then why did she do it secretly? Of course, because of the father's thoughts, who always say that a woman's job is only to cook and support her husband later. Gren always ends up fighting when he is discussing this with you, not to mention that the mother, who has never been on his side, always tells Gren to listen to what his father says.

That afternoon, when Gren returned home after teaching at one of the residents' houses, Gren was shocked by the news that she was getting married next week.

"DAD! GREN HAS SAYED THIS A LOT OF TIMES! GREN DOES NOT WANT TO BE MARRIED AGAIN WHEN GREN'S AGE IS STILL 17 YEARS OLD! " shouted Gren which of course shocked Ibu Sari but not her father and mother. Because this always happens.

"Gren, calm down, son, first listen to what you said." Mother softly replied and tried to calm her only daughter.

"MOM IS ALWAYS ON FATHER! WHAT MOM NEVER HAS GREN'S DREAM TO BECOME A TEACHER! " replied Gren, still screaming

PLAAAAAAK

One slap landed on Gren's cheek. Pak Agus, who was already furious with his childish daughter's behaviour, could not hold his hand from slapping. Gren, who was shocked, immediately ran while crying holding the pain on her left cheek. Gren continues to run up to the top of the mountain in the village. Without realizing it, Gren's mother was also chasing Gren and made Mr and Mrs Sari also chase him.

"Gren, don't do all kinds of things, kid. We'll talk about this calmly first, honey. " The mother persuaded when Gren saw that she started to approach the cliff as if he wanted to jump.

"GREN TIRED MOM! GREN JUST REJECTED THIS FOR GREN'S DREAM. GREN NEVER DEFENDS A MOTHER AND FATHER LIKE THIS. GREN ALWAYS ACCORDING TO YOUR DEMANDS! WHAT CAN'T FOR THIS TIME ONLY! PERMISSION OF KAN GREN FOR LIFE DETERMINING GREN'S FUTURE! GREN IS BETTER LIVING AS KARA AT THIS END THAN HAVING TO BE MARRIED AT A YOUNG AGE WITHOUT HAVING TO Pursue GREN'S DREAMS! "

That day, at sunset, it was as if the creator could hear Gren's hope. Unreasonably, Gren's legs began to turn like logs.

"MOM MY FEET CANNOT BE MOVED! MOM DAD WHAT IS THIS GOING ON! WHAT HAPPENED "Gren shouted again but this time it was not to argue with her mother and father but to shout because something strange happened to his body.

The changes continued to rise above her body covering her waist, up to her chest, to his neck until finally covering her entire body to Gren's head. The body magically enlarges into a shady tree, where whoever sits under it will feel cool with the dense leaves.

"GREEEENNN! MY DAUGHTER! WHAT HAPPENED OTHER THAN HAPPENED." "WHAT WAS YOU DOING TO OUR PRINCESS? " The father, who also did not understand what had happened, could only cry while comforting his wife so that she would not faint and regret what he had done. Mother Sari, who could not digest all of them, could only sit there because she was already quite old, she could not see the miracle of God which made her unable to say a word.

That's the end of Gren's story. She could not fulfil his dream of becoming a source of knowledge for the children's part. But it is the source of life for the part of every living thing that breathes oxygen. As well as providing shade for those who stop by just to rest in the beautiful tree, at the top of the mountain.
