After waiting for a long time, Dita finally reached the dining table.
"Well, that's Dita, sir."
For a moment Mr. Handoko looked at his daughter, smiling at her. Similarly, Dita who stepped her feet towards her parents. Not forgetting the sweet smile graced her beautiful face.
Even so, there was a gurat of sadness that still emanated there. As smart as Dita covers it, her mother still knows it.
"Here sit, son."
"Thank you, Mother."
After Dita sat down, Madam Sekar immediately took rice and side dishes to Dita. After that, they resumed their food.
"Well, the food was delicious" said Dita to divert the situation.
"Yes, your mother deliberately asked Mbok Iyem to cook the menu so that you taste more."
"Oh, without having to do so I've been greedy lo, sir!" said Dita while playing her eyebrows.
"Yes, yes," said Mrs Sekar.
"Oh, yes, in a few days Mom and Dad want to take you to the house of Bhishma."
"For what, sir?" tanya Dita was curious.
Dita stopped her eating and began to look at her parents seriously.
"Yes, at least apologize for the unexpected events that happened yesterday."
"Why not go to Kyai alone, who knows can make my fate is not this stragic," exclaimed Dita while looking down.
For a moment there was pain when Dita remembered her fate. I don't know why it feels like he's desperate with his life path. It was eager to run away but there was a red thread pulling it back to where it was. How hard he tried, the result was the same.
Mrs Sekar and Mr. Handoko look at each other. They know that passing this test is not easy. Especially in the inner Dita no one knows how deep the wound is still gaping in there.
"But if you mind then don't do it. Let me be the same mother who goes there."
He raised his face until his gaze could meet his parents.
"It's okay, Mom, sir. It's better we go there soon. Let people's views of our family not be that bad."
Dita felt an uncomfortable thing in the recesses of her heart. He could not think clearly yet. Their attention becomes other when there is the sound of geckos unpretentious there. Making the atmosphere that was normal to be a little scary.
"Te-chips ... Te-kek ...."
Mystical Eve grew when the sound of an emprite perched on a tree in the yard of the house sounded very clear. As soon as the fur sat they stood, indicating that nothing could cover the worries and anxieties of the moment.
The three people stared at each other. There was an uncomfortable feeling when the food in their presence dropped a lizard.
"Why is it like a lizard that fell in front of me last night?" mummified Dita.
"Aaaa ..." cried Nyoya Sekar a moment later.
"What's up, Mom?" ask Mr. Handoko to panic.
"I-it, Sir. Look into the vegetable container, has fallen a lot of lizards."
"Huh-ah!"
The feeling of nausea and stomach that seemed to be being stirred up made Dita want to leave the dining room. However, Mr. Handoko forbids Dita from leaving.
"Don't go, son. Wait here, let me check on you."
Dita approached her mother who still looked shocked. In the meantime he immediately went ahead. A few moments later, there was an explosion.
DOR'S!
The sound of the explosion made Dita and Madame Sekar ketar-ketir at once surprised. It is not usual for gunshots to ring in the house except in a precarious situation.
"What is this really about?"
Dita and Mrs Sekar looked at each other and decided to immediately follow Mr. Handoko to the front porch. His father was holding the rifle he used to hunt.
He was still looking towards the front, even the tip of his rifle was still visible emitting smoke. As if it had just been used.
"W-What's up, sir!" ask Mrs Sekar worried.
"Father shot the bird that these days is always ringing around our house."
"Ha-ah, why, sir?"
"Father has been caught off guard by the state of this house that is so mystical, for a few days."
"But Father don't remember the message of the late mother not to haphazardly hunt."
"Easy, Mom. It's also precarious. Never mind, we better get going now!"
Madam Sekar's eyebrows intertwined, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Mr. Kyai Din's house. Maybe he knows what we'd better do."
"Yes, come on, Nduk!" take Madame Sekar to her daughter.
Not long after, the three men immediately left the house. Though there is a taboo that occurs in the Handoko Family.
The rules are clearly written, if there is a rule that does not allow all family members to go simultaneously. Someone should have stayed home. Such was the message of the late Mr. Handoko's mother.
It turned out that circumstances forced the three to do just that. Even because there are too many thoughts so that no one realizes if they have violated the prohibition of their ancestors. Evidently by what happened that afternoon on a street. Instantly the car driven by Mr. Handoko the tires deflated. As a result the car must stop suddenly, therefore they stop the speed of the vehicle.
"Why stop, sir?"
"Let's go, let me check first."
"Yes already, sir. Careful."
When he was about to see the front tire, from the back drove a high-speed truck, until he grazed Mr. Handoko's body. Dita and Madam Sekar shouted almost simultaneously.
"Bapaa!"
"Youngassss!"
Will Dita be ready for her next destiny?
SERIATE
