Dusty is my husband
22

After packing the things I needed and Nadia, this afternoon Reno took us to the temporary place she had provided.

Nadia enjoyed the atmosphere throughout the trip. His mouth was unceasingly chattering whenever he saw something foreign to him.

Nadia is rarely brought outside the house, considering my busy life during this time taking care of the boutique.

" Mom, that's what mah," he pointed out as a group of buffalo wallowing in the rice field.

" Elephant yes, mah?" he answered his own question.

" That's her name is buffalo, Nadia. If the elephant had his trunk, not the horns," Reno suddenly pulled over the car he was driving on the side of the road.

"Kok stop, sir," I cried in wonder.

" A moment, I want to take a photo first with the buffalo background," he explained.

" Yuk Nadia, look at her shoulders, " Nadia was pampered in Reno's arms. Then I took some pictures of Nadia. I smiled at Nadia's pose during selfies. I refuse to get out of the car.

" Tika, can get us some photos," exclaimed Reno, inevitably I came out too. Then I took pictures of them in various poses.

" Nah, now it's Nadia's turn to take pictures of her mom. Come on, 'Tika there with Nadia, let me take a picture of you." I'm reluctant. I'm the laziest when told to berselfi. " Come on, Tika. just a few, '" he persuaded.

What he said was just a few, I'm sure he's taken dozens. Basic mode, dehemku in heart.

" I'll send it to wa ya, the photos," Reno said after we continued our journey again..

" We're still a long time, get there, sir!" I asked back without saying anything.

" Now, really. About a quarter of an hour. Wh why? You're dizzy, aren't you?" Reno looked at us through the rearview mirror. I do feel dizzy and a bit nauseous. Probably the effect of my pregnancy.

" It's okay, it's just a little dizzy and nauseous" I'm obviously just plain, even though cold sweat has started pouring down my back.

Reno pulled her car over on the side of the road.

" Try dabbing this, who knows the dizziness can disappear," his hand held out fresh care. I accepted it and inhaled its distinctive aroma. For a moment I felt helped.

A middle-aged woman, welcomed our arrival. He kindly introduced himself. Seeing her figure somehow gave me a sense of peace.

" I'm Miss Risma, "he said kindly, I welcomed her hand and held her tightly.

" I'm Tika ma'am, and my son Nadia,"

" Let's go in, son Tika is tired on the way. I rest first yes, let me get you some tea," I followed her steps into the house. When I looked back, Reno was busy pulling out our luggage.

" This is the tea, son, at the drink while it is warm, yes" Risma put a tea treat complete with her snack on the table.

" Thank you ma'am, it's been a hassle, "I said.

"Don't hesitate son, think like at home. You're still in the fields, back home."

" Bi, show me a room for Tika and Nadia" Reno exclaimed as she placed my belongings.

" Where is Dirman, bi.?"

" It's still in the fields, gourami fish, ngambi,"

" Oh, the fish can already be harvested yes ,bi,"

" There's still some Reno,"

"Good thing, bi. Ntar we roast fish," he exclaimed cheerfully.

I inhaled the cool mountain air. It feels so peaceful in this place.

For a moment I forgot that my purpose was to come here because I was forced to evacuate.

Well, I'll enjoy that peace.*****
