39. 1 Night

We drove the father to the front of the old house aka the grandmother's house, Djaya drove us and took the rambutan fruit in the front yard of the grandmother's house. Djaya is older than me by one year, the only son of Mr. Yadi and Ms. Minah. She is good at climbing trees, with full stature and curly hair and exotic skin, she is quite sweet, is this Amini's future husband? Does Amini like him? or how Amini's attitude if this storyline he experienced. Had he ever been here, obviously never but I don't know when. Thankful that Asmirah went out of town, if she was at home we couldn't possibly vacation here.

But as I recall, the eyes of Roy's eyes are the former who liked Amini the most, if not the wrong name Agus Salim or Salim. But Amini is still in her early teens, Santi will also be born. But there's no way I'm going through the Amini process until adulthood to reveal the whole family's past. So this Djaya whether her husband will be, because Mr. Broto and Mr. Yadi also plan an arranged marriage, and why Santi is the last child at least can accept the rules of the Broto Seno family, this makes me more confused.

We eat fresh rambutan fruit from the tree, very tasty and sweet, let alone see a happy Batara even to the point of wanting to stay here. But even though this house is a murder scene, somehow I don't feel afraid and the air of this house is soothing, it should be bad and not comfortable, but it's the opposite.

Batara asked Djaya to point sources around the house, then Djaya assented and took us for a walk, then I saw Sri's house is still good and well maintained no matter who lives there, who lives there, seeing the environment here is indeed a shady house and intersect royong. Until we were at the source which he said was very cold and refreshing, Djaya asked us to drink the water and the jug brought from the house was filled again by this source water. I really like this place, while remembering about what the future has become.

Not feeling it was almost dark, Djaya took us home to his house, but before that we stopped by the house of his friend Djaya named Laksmi, older than Djaya but he was married by his parents. Djaya met him to introduce me and Batara so that Laksmi would not feel lonely.

"Laksmi, why did you get married young? " Task me, which I forgot that the majority of Indonesians used to get married very young.

"No, it's common to get married at 15, even my mother was married at 13. " Answer with a wet voice.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, "say I'm sorry.

"Not why, in your family may be the main education. In my family education is not important for women, I really want to learn to read and write. " The answer is sad.

"I can teach you, " said Batara excitedly.

"Thank you Batara, I won't be lonely as long as you stay here. " His reply was pleased.

"You live alone? where's your husband? " Tanyaku.

"My husband is at work, once a week he comes home, and my parents are far away, I follow my husband here. " The answer was as if he wasn't a 15-year-old boy.

Batara was teaching Laksmi while I was observing the fireflies that started coming at night, because in the future fireflies are rare animals, unconsciously I daydreamed and I don't know where I was taken by my daydream. Until finally Minah mom came to bring dinner, Laksmi and Minah's house was very close, Laksmi's house behind Minah's house, and Minah's mom already considered Laksmi as her son, Laksmi's house, and Laksmi's late husband's parents leave her to Minah's mother.

When I want to go to the bathtub I look for a flashlight, because the bathroom is behind and quite a bit far about a few meters in the middle of these forests, it is not good if I am escorted by Djaya, Dijaya, so I decided to be alone and Djaya waited behind the house carrying a torch as a marker of direction back home.

I walked to the bathroom with a flashlight whose lighting power was small, somehow I walked 20 steps just scared and look back there Djaya ya wait with a sarong cloth and sleepy. Until I was in this bathroom like a public bathroom, I urinated and fortunately there was a camprong or public as lighting. When I finished I was shocked not to play, there was a woman carrying the public and only the face was visible, her lips were black with a grinning smile, I shouted I shouted loudly, yelling, unfortunately, no sound came out of my screams.

My flashlight fell and died there was only me and that woman here, I was afraid I was so scared of who that woman was. My body was stiff and unable to move, my eyes could not close as if I was forced to shut up and look at the woman. I can't do anything I'm scared and shaky hoping someone helps me. I don't know what she meant but really for a very long time I was forced to be silent and my eyes could not be closed forced to look at her. For a long time I tried to calm down and relax, I tried to take a breath regularly and relax myself that could not calm down.

Finally my breathing was normal and I could move and blink, but I could neither step nor take the falling flashlight. The woman remained standing with the public in her hands. I tried to calm down but this tremor of my frightened body could not be lied to.

"You who? " Task me with a soft voice that finally my voice can appear.

He just kept quiet and occasionally smiled in horror, then he suddenly approached me and suddenly appeared right in my face, I shouted while closing my eyes, then Djaya came with his torch to open the door.

"Why so long? " Say confused.

I was just silent and limp and relieved once, I hugged Djaya in my fear. My legs were so limp that I fell. Djaya then took me and returned to Laksmi's house. Djaya asked me to be quiet and sleep without explaining anything, he told me to tell him tomorrow when the sun had appeared. But I just cried in fear, Djaya brought me a drink and told me to go back to Laksmi's room.

But as I slept lying next to Laksmi and trying to close my eyes, I felt Laksmi wake up and look at me. Whether it was just my feeling or it really happened, but I felt from this wooden mattress that Laksmi turned to face me and looked at me. I tried to calm down without opening my eyes. Then I felt Laksmi get out of the bed and leave the room. At that time, I tried to open my eyes, but there was a whispering voice...

"Don't open your eyes... " So soft and soft whispered in my ear.

I was shocked but tried to obey the whisper, because I felt if I opened my eyes, then I would not be okay. But behind my back I felt someone sleeping behind me, there was a breath on my back neck, I felt a heavy breath, to the point of shuddering my feathers. Because I was tired of this sideways position, my legs and body ached like I wanted to change position, but again there was a whisper that prevented me from knowing something.

"Sleep... " She was far from me but I could hear her.

Then.....
