Bonchap. 6. Befriend a Snake
The car continued to drive towards the hill where the tamarind tree was. The two boys looked happy, their tiny mouths kept smiling and sometimes even laughing happily.
Not long after the car has arrived at a place where the car can no longer walk because it has stuck. Vadeo immediately turned off the engine.
“Yun... yun.. “ said the two of them, Deondria extended her hands to Richardo while Valexa extended her hands to Vadeo. They both asked to be carried and immediately got out of the car.
“Cam... cammm.” said the two of them while smiling and nodding his head.
Vadeo and Richardo continued to step in through the path leading to where the acid tree was. The faces of Valexa and Deondria looked happy and were impatient to arrive. Their tiny feet keep moving like they want to run. While the index finger continues to point towards the acid tree is located. In Vadeo and Richardo's heart, it was a wonder why the two boys were pointing in the right direction where the acid tree was.
A few minutes later they reached the acid tree. Looks big sour fruit huddled hanging on the twigs of tree branches.
“Yun. yun..” shouted Valexa and Deondria while shaking his body. Vadeo and Richardo lowered them both by heart.
“Cam.. Cam...” shouted the two of them as his index finger pointed upwards and the two boys walked quickly towards the acid tree.
Suddenly Vadeo remembered the big snake that used to be under the acid tree. Immediately he stepped up and his two burly hands immediately grabbed his two child's bodies and carried them again.
“Cam.. cam..” yell them both again.
“Yes yes let Om Richardo take.” Vadeo said as he looked at Richardo who was still standing.
“Why the task of climbing the tree still continues.” Richardo's murmuring.
“Pa... Pa..” shouted the two of them as their tiny hands pulled the strings of Vadeo's clothes.
“Do you get acid fruit for them, most only make toys.” Vadeo said again, looking at Richardo. Richard began to step up.
“No.. No...” shouted the two of them while shaking their heads.
“Pa.. Pa..” said they then while staring at Vadeo's face with a glass.
“Master, it looks like Princess Tuan asked her Papa to take it.” Richardo said as he turned towards Vadeo.
“Yes. Yes.” they said while nodding his head. Richardo also seemed to smile with relief because this time he was free to climb the tall and large tree. Better to be in charge of carrying baby twins than climbing the acid tree, so muttered Richardo in the heart.
“Iya Yes Papa get it. But you are silent do not cry hard later there will be wild animals come.” Said Vadeo who arrived suddenly afraid if there are wild animals coming due to the sound of crying of his two children are very loud.
Richardo immediately took over the baby twins to hold and take care of them. While Vadeo with a giant step walked towards the acid tree.
Vadeo rolled up his sleeves and took off his shoes and socks. Valexa and Deondria smiled and asked to get down from Richardo's sling.
Slowly Vadeo climbed up the trunk of the enormous acid tree. While Valexa and Deondria seemed to clap their hands while jumping happily. Seeing his two children are very happy Vadeo was eager to climb higher and higher. A while later Vadeo was already on top of a branch that could pull the twig that had its sour fruit. The two children looked increasingly cheerful and shouted.
“Cam... Cam... Pa... Pa...” shouted the two of them while jumping jump. Vadeo immediately plucked and dropped down. The two children seemed to run to pick up the acid fruit that had been dropped by Vadeo.
But when Vadeo was about to drop the sour fruit down, his eyes saw the big snake moving towards his two children who were picking acid fruit with Richardo. Vadeo's cold sweat began to spread throughout his body.
“Do beware there is a big snake near you.” Shouted Vadeo and trying to get down and will invite his two children to leave this place immediately.
Richardo immediately grabbed the tiny bodies of Valexa and Deondria, but the two of them who were still engrossed in sour fruit looked shocked and crying. The snake looked shocked and hissed...
“Cam... Cam... “ shouted Valexa and Deondria while struggling to get down while crying loudly. The panicked Vadeo quickly descended. And arrived...
BRRUK...
Vadeo's body fell on the ground. Richardo turned to look at Vadeo's body that fell on the ground, he looked confused, while still holding Valexa and Deondria who were still crying wriggling, Richardo walked slowly closer to Vadeo.
When Richardo was going to help Vadeo, the two boys got loose and ran back to the sour fruit approached by the snake.
Vadeo who saw his children running towards the outside was spontaneously rising from his fall. The shocked and confused Richardo turned to look towards Valexa and Deondria.
As Vadeo and Richardo were about to step towards the place where the two boys were, how shocked were Vadeo and Ricahardo because he was the boy who had even stroked the snake body elus. Vadeo felt his body suffocate helplessly.
“Master rest easy so that the snake is not surprised.” The real Richardo said he was also very worried.
But the snake seemed calm as it was being elus by the tiny fingers of Valexa and Deondria, and the two boys laughed.
“Pa pa... cini.. cini ... man... man... “ said they were both still stroking the snake elus, but they were still, and the snake also still looked calm and happy to be elus by the two boys.
