MYFATHER
Episode 46's
Mirna had apparently prepared warm water for the bath. As soon as Yudi dipped the body into the tub, the water inside the bath spilled onto the tiles, leaving a pleasant little ’splash’ sound, as pleasant as a touch of water ripples sweeping his body with a pampering warm taste.
While bathing Yudi tried to gather memories of his strange dream last night, about a disembodied head monster, a meteor that resembled a giant fireball, and a funny soap-shaped foam that made his breath tight. Everything moves like an invisible hand that paints a vague mixed image on a black canvas, until Yudi finally has to give up because he never remembers everything once he finishes the bath
An hour later Yudi had accompanied Mirna in the car to the forest of Rawen. Unceasingly the girl rambled about the types of trees there, as well as the habits of strange named birds who live in the forest, he said, and some exotic villages around Rawen that made Yudi then asked, ”Does the villages around Rawen still exist?”
”There. Similar to the village we came to when we saw the circus.”
”So your house is indeed near the forest?” Yudi asked.
”You think the collection of trees behind the house is what?” Mirna asked back.
”I never before thought anyone would want to stay in the forest.”
The conversation stalled as the wheels of the vehicle squeaked and stopped after arriving at the intended place. A place that is still foreign to Yudi. Mirna took the backpack and held Yudi with a smile. The two walked down the path of the meadow that surrounded the region. About twenty meters from where they were at that time Yudi saw a crowd of eik trees approaching in front of him. The eik crowd that stretched it resembled a large gate, where on the lower side sheltered the room that hoarded the story of the past that was not immediately eaten hot or rain.
While Yudi tried not to think about what awaits in the forest, other than shrubs and trees of course, Mirna smiled happily, ”It feels good to be a tree like the one here, right? You do not need to make physical contact to be able to breed.”
The man smiled blandly as he did not understand Mirna's intentions. The two walked further and further into the forest. The atmosphere inside turned out to be not as strong as Yudi thought, there were still some beams of light that were able to penetrate through the leafy roof above their heads, which also warmed the grass and moss that grew on the forest floor.
The state of the forest is actually not too bad, maybe a little dark than outside but this condition gives Yudi coolness. This is also felt by a number of animals, such as stoats that are running along tree branches with a relaxed. The animal looked on inquisitively, the tip of its ears occasionally moving while its white whiskers were transverse working like it was kissing when there was dangerous air. But so far there is nothing to worry about from Yudi and Mirna...
Mirna turned her head and pointed at the hill that appeared from between the leaves, ”In the foothills of the green lake is located. It didn't take long to get there.”
The sloping plains were flanked by trees that were no longer as fierce as before. The air flowing around it also feels freer, no longer stuffy and filled with the smell of ferns or moss. A few meters from where it stands there are chunks of sand and coral that are the beginning of the foot of the hill overgrown with moss and pine. The two arrived at the green lake after stepping about fifty meters from the foot of the hill.
The green lake may not be as large as Lake Toba but it is large enough to be called a pond. Surrounded by a crowd of willow trees on three-quarters of the side of the lake is the estuary of small rivers and underground waterways that flow down from the hill. The clear lake water reflects the life of the fish and aquatic animals that live in it, combined beautifully with the red hue of wild roses that grow unkempt along the banks of the river, cause a view that is far from the mystical or haunted impression of what El said. This lake is just a charming ordinary lake, anyone who comes to this place would agree that the shade of the shade of the lake is reluctant to be left by those who are there.
”Beautiful once...” comments Yudi saw the reflection of his face on the surface of a clear lake. The praise was of course not given to his face that was visible there but an admiration because the water in front of him was able to give such a perfect reflection. Looking closely at his face, it was so pale and tired. It was not his face as he had known all along.it seemed like he was looking at the reflection of the other person's face...
The face not only looked tired and pale. Terrible, that might be the right name. His skin was red smoldering, while in some parts it looked blackish peeling, it seemed like the face was burnt out. In the headstone even no sheet of hair grows as if the hairs are also eaten by fire. The figure returned his gaze blankly, which hid the sadness so much that it came from pain. The foreign face that was looking at him intently grinned viciously.
The water suddenly churned and the face moved upwards as if it were raised to the surface. The lake water bubbled as the creatures in the lake water tried to reach it. Yudi shouted and retreated away from the outskirts of the lake. ”Hantu..”.
Suddenly we heard a giggling sound. Laughter girl. Followed by a familiar ignorant voice, ”Where are ghosts here?”
Inching slowly Yudi returned to the edge of the lake and found that the alien face was not there at all. Only Mirna's face when her head occasionally emerged from the surface of the water because she was floating. His lips continued to reveal a mischievous smile. He pointed at himself, ”This ghost, you mean?”
Yudi's face met red with embarrassment, let alone found the top of Mirna's beautiful body plastered defiantly before him without being covered by a sheet of yarn. He replied carelessly to kelit, ”This is because parno is the same mystical legend.”
”No need to be ashamed,” Mirna stroking Yudi's cheek. ”Indeed for that are we here?”
”Yeah, but why are you bathing there?”
”My body is sticky after the long road. Can dong refresh yourself.”
”It is not forbidden to swim here?”
Mirna dyed, ”I don't see any sign of prohibition.”
”Iya, anyway! But shouldn't we carelessly do it in public places?”
”You didn't say you wanted to swim here, so I didn't bring a swimsuit.”
”What do you think I brought?”
”Then..”.
”Come in case you want to know..” challenge Mirna.
Not to be humiliated Yudi immediately took off and put clothes on the edge of the lake before plunging into the water accompanied by the pleasure of Mirna. As the water greeted Yudi with her shivering skin sting, the ignorant girl he was looking for had already hurriedly swam away.
”Kena!” Yudi screamed for pleasure once he managed to catch Mirna after exploring and searching for so long in the water. The girl was swimming. Not only is he fast but he is also strong enough to hold his breath underwater so Yudi must be patient waiting for Mirna to let his guard down before being able to ambush him in the water.
”Ah, shit..” Mirna gave a small shriek because the hand of Yudi who was then hugging her waist went up and touched the chest of the girl.
Yudi was surprised, not expecting Mirna to be earnest with her words saying that she was not wearing anything while swimming at this time. The rush of releasing his grip on Mirna's body. Instead of slapping Yudi who accidentally went brazen, Mirna instead laughed out loud and pointed at the young man, ”See your face. Looks like seeing a ghost.”
”Ghost probably won't make me a heart attack like this.”
”Instead, the original ghost will not give a moment of pleasure like earlier.”
”It was indeed a moment that was hard to forget.” hiss Yudi.
The two looked at each other, not talking, each diving into the feelings in their hearts that were raging with passion for the charm emitted by the opposite sex in front of each. Unknowingly Yudi's head moved forward slowly, approached Mirna's face, and tried to grab the girl's lips. Just one more inch of their lips met when a faint memory struck Yudi, stopping him from kissing instantly, and the young man opened his eyes and pulled his head, ”Sorry.”.
Mirna looked even more surprised even though the expression was not visible to her, the girl smiled wryly, licked her lips with her tongue, then asked softly, ”Why, Yud? Why did you stop?”
”There is something...” Yudi replied with a frown. ”...difficult to explain. The disturbing thought. It was only an instant but it obliterated my race instantly.”.
”Did I do it wrong?” ask Mirna.
”Ngak...not that.me...maybe I was wrong..forgive me...”.
Mirna stroked Yudi's cheek, ”It feels like time to go up. You hungry, aren't you?”
”Now not too,” Yudi answered honestly.
”Can be spastic if you continue swimming on an empty stomach. At least rest first.”
”Yeah, I think it's best..” Yudi nodded.
”Do not stumble, yes.” reprimand Mirna when about to ride on the edge of the lake.
”Oh, yes..sori.” Yudi nodded, but he had not yet turned Mirna first to the surface, as if it did not matter if Yudi would see all parts of his body at that time, and indeed that was what Yudi experienced at that time... his gaze could not shift from the back of Mirna's body that was innocently open. His neck bone to his back was symmetrical, his hair was broken, a pair of chunks of his buttocks, then his beautiful legs and calves. All of these parts are incorporated into a perfect body Mirna.
As she realized she was being observed Mirna turned her head and at that time caught the wet view of Yudi who was fascinated, ”Nah, right...” his hand splashed the lake water onto Yudi's face, making the young man hurriedly close his eyes in order to prevent the water from entering his sense of sight. As soon as Yudi opened his eyes Mirna was no longer in front of him, from the giggling laughter of the girl seemed to have slipped behind the crowd of trees to wear her clothes left there.
