"Damn! It was all just a dream!" (Strictly)
It was still lying on the ground. His head feels very dizzy. All parts of his body felt very sick as if he had been beaten. Slowly stand up and walk back to his house. The streets are so quiet like never before. People are getting busy with their own business. No vehicles passed by at that place.
"Why else am I? Why can everything be like this. My body feels very sick. There must have been an old man who did something while I was passing out." (Strictly)
The plastic bag containing the fish he bought was still held in his hand. His stomach feels very hungry. He became even more astonished at it. Both hands were shaking from hunger. But he had been given food as usual, which was human blood. Which can keep his body fit.
"absolutely crazy. I'm getting weak now. I should still be fresh as usual." (Strictly)
Get into the kitchen of his house. There are still some wooden sticks that he used to cook while still living in this house. As usual, Teguh always lit a fire with only his two hands. But strange things happened again. When Teguh tried to bring out his strength, there was no reaction whatsoever.
It's getting more and more unsettled. He had never experienced anything like this before. Even if his strength weakened from not getting prey, Teguh never weakened to this extent.
"How did this all happen?! I should have been able to get the fire out of my hand." (Strictly)
Back to reading the mantra. Still doesn't work. Precisely the pain in his body feels more intense.
"Agdhh! I think I should use the old way. There's gotta be a match still on here." (Strictly)
Take a few matches and try them one by one. Lucky because the matches can still be lit.
Firmly arrange the wood one by one while enduring the pain in his body. For a moment he recalled his past that he cooked every morning with the firewood he collected every time he came home from the market. It feels so good with a life that does not burden him much.
He also recalled Vera, his ex-wife. I don't know where he is now, and what his fate is. He never saw her again after she kicked her out of the house.
"Vera. I hope that rotten woman is dead on the streets." (Strictly)
Teguh still remembers how his bad memories together with Vera. Every day Teguh always get insults and insults from the people he loves. Just because Teguh was poor back then, Vera acted as if she was a god entitled to oppress Teguh.
"But, out of the question, it's good that I stay in this house. After all, this house is still strong for me to live in the next decades. Why do I have to obey Lidya who will soon also surely meet his death." (Strictly)
He started thinking about making changes in his life. He began to feel bored and at the same time depressed with his current life. Everywhere must have a purpose. It is forbidden to be close to ordinary people. Because his identity can be revealed if he hangs out with others.
It certainly feels very boring for Teguh who has familiar behavior with anyone he meets. While cooking the fish he bought, Teguh began to feel something strange about it. It smells bad, not as usual.
"Fuck up! Why is the fish rotting!" (Strictly)
It turned out that the fish gave off a very pungent stench. But how else, than Teguh did not eat, even rotten fish he was still eager.
