Ai, Love Me
Eps 80, Odessa and Mango Tree Man

“ha-halo” Johan said on the phone.

“what are your interests? If you call me just to mock and make fun of me, I don't have time for that” Adam said with his voice so jutek.

“ma-sorry. Is this Adam Abraham's number?” ask Johan.

“right, it's me, the madman you called. What was? Are you one of the people who called me just to make fun of me and bully me again?” ask Adam.

“previously I will introduce myself first. My name is Johan, you can just call me Johan”.

“do I owe you anything? Didn't I already pay the home installments?” ask Adam.

“heard first kapmred!. The first thing I have to say to you is, we both are the same” Johan said in his heart.

“means?” adam asked a little confused.

“assume I've met the guardian spirit of nature” Johan stressed.

“a-what? No-don't you meet the nature guard too? Tell me where are your streams?” ask Adam.

“flow? Where's kuiran? I don't know what my flow is and I don't know what you mean. But I will introduce myself so clearly and completely” Johan stressed.

“quickly introduce yourself” replied Adam.

“the pure ancient symbol of the ancestor Engkobappe means Wajayeja Valesveva in the Valesveva Akuman area which is only obtained from the touch of the hand directly from the Goddess of Nature, Greisha. I have it” Johan insisted.

“Greisha? Have you ever met him?” ask Adam.

“for sure you have also met him” replied Johan.

“i never met him. I only read a few articles that told of the fictional character. According to laymen today, Greisha is just a legend and a regular rumor” Adam replied.

“but I meet with Greisha every day” replied Johan.

“that's not important, say what you need” said Adam.

“i heard about your courage to save the lake to protect the spirit you love. I know that Riana Dassilva is a guardian spirit of Lake”, Johan said.

“so you know about nature's guardian spirit?” ask Adam.

“i told you, I'm just like you. Therefore, I will ask you something I do not know and you may know it. I'd like to meet you at the lake you're guarding. I will ask you everything” Johan said.

“when?” ask Adam.

“tomorrow, at night, I will ask you everything. I want to make sure something” Johan said.

“ensure what?” ask Adam.

“is it true Odessa Ai is a tree spirit or not” replied Johan.

“I want you to remember something and want to stick this in your brain. The spirit of nature will never have sex and will never contain”, Adam explained.

“ehh? Wh why? Why are you saying that?” ask Johan.

“ini is night. I'm kebelet eeq. I'm matiin first. You can call me back in the morning. Tomorrow, I can only go out at night. Don't you mind?” ask Adam.

“not what. I also only have night time” replied Johan.

“then, we've agreed to meet tomorrow night. Call me when you're gone. Do you know the location of the lake?” ask Adam.

“okelah then. It was great to hear the voice of a man as lucky as me” Adam replied.

“aku too. Thank you so much” replied Johan.

“ equally” replied Adam instantly turn off the phone.

At that time, Johan smiled so widely as he stared at the bright moon that night. Imagining the look on Odessa Ai's face and expression in the night sky, Johan hopes that Odessa is not a tree spirit that does not have such a pleasant life.

“I want to age with you. I'm sure we're staring up at the same night sky. We enjoy and exhale from the same earth. I want to hold your small, warm hand. I want to hold our daughter together and I want to see your relationship with our son. We can talk and share stories together at the same dining table. I hope you are not the tree spirit I thought of” Johan said.

“again, forgive me Johan” thought Odessa was leaning on the right shoulder of the man beside her.

In fact, the man was the same man as the man who was with Odessa last night. At that time, the man along with Odessa hid behind a mango tree to peek and eavesdrop on what Johan was going to tell the refugees at the local village office.

“it's already night. Mending you back” Odessa said to the man beside her.

“you also” replied the man while stroking Odessa's head.

“come back” said Odessa immediately stood from the place.

“iya” replied the man.

At that time, the man immediately walked back into the dense forest and left Odessa alone under the hornbeam tree. Odessa sat back and leaned against the tree, holding her left palm.

“I hope, I can have as much fun as you tomorrow, Johan. Maybe tomorrow is the last time I can talk and laugh with you” Odessa said as she shed her tears.

“I believe, we will smile at each other tomorrow” “I believe, we will smile at each other tomorrow” said Odessa and Johan in different places at the same time.

On the other hand, Johan immediately closed the window of his room and then turned off the light. He immediately put his body on a warm and soft mattress and then covered his entire body with a thick warm blanket.

While reading a novel from an online platform on his phone, Johan listened to his favorite song on the YouTube application through earphones that had been stuck in both ear holes.

Slowly, the drowsiness began to make both of Johan's eyelids so heavy. And in the end, Johan fell asleep in the condition of the phone that was in his grasp.

At night, the rain poured into Johan's hometown. Not so heavy but not so heavy anyway. The sound of rain from nature fills the heart of anyone who hears the instrument of tranquility.

Sparks of water bounce from the roof of the house to under the gutter. The leaves are moistened by water droplets from the sky. Smooth wind waving waving waving moving the thickets of the roadside. And at that time the animals get drinking water that is so clean and fresh from the thousand drops of rainwater.

The middle of the night was so quiet, there was not a single sound of a motor machine passing through even if it was just a traveling fried rice seller. In Johan's dark room, he was so deep in his sleep that Johan dreamed nothing of his sleep. Even Johan did not dream of meeting Greisha like he used to.

Morning, 5am. Johan wakes up to the alarm he set last night. Johan picks up his phone intending to turn off the alarm. But in fact, Johan's phone died by itself. After he checked, it turned out that his phone ran out of battery and shut down completely automatically.

“sial, I forgot to charge hp ku” Johan muttered in a bad condition.

Johan got out of his bed and walked to the window. Johan opened the window and found that the sun was so bright it illuminated his settlement. The reflection of sunlight reflected by the dew from raindrops last night. And it makes Johan's environment so blue.

Puddles of water that filled the streets, dew still clinging to the leaves, the sound of cars and motorcycles starting to come out of the garage of the house greeted Johan when Johan opened the window of his room.

“good morning, world full of beauty. Today, I'm going to take Odessa on a date in town. The sun this morning was very bright. I hope the bright sun will never disappear until tonight” said Johan.

“hufftt, I can't wait” Johan said with a tone so excited.

Johan also stuck his window with a window support iron stick so that the window remains open. Johan took his clothes in the closet and he put them on his bed. Johan went out of his room and prepared to go to the bathroom.

Johan stood in front of the bathroom with the door closed. Johan knocks on the bathroom door and makes sure there are no people inside.
