Opung Tolu's
Time anchor

Weighing all thoughts and presumptions of cause and effect. The unsettled Togar on the Mattress occasionally squirms to the right and left sides. He watched his wife's movements as if he still knew she wasn't asleep. Tolu looked at him and turned back.

“Tolu, I want to ask you. About the words of the villagers and your treatment to Semi and her mother. If you really are a shaman, then tell me everything you hide. Am I not your companion for life?” Togar.

The woman was so angry to hear his words, she got up from the bed turning on the lights walking out slamming the door. Cold attitude, secret rooms and the need for strange objects that he always bought. Togar rubbed his chest following where Tolu was going. The night sky was not starry, Tolu stood in front of a tree under which there was a former furnace of fire. He pointed at it while crying.

“Togar, don't you remember our hardships? And your father is against our relationship. I really don't want any of this to happen. My only desire is to help my family. I didn't think we were meant to be a fool.”

“I love you for who you are. Without all this I can make you happy. Leave all this behind and go for a day that will allow you to smile again. Whatever I will give” said Togar clasped his hand.

“I can't turn around or walk backwards. I've chosen between black and white for survival until you can see me again until now. I also have another world, Togar let's just end this relationship. You must be happy without me.”

Togar's mind and heart were muddled, he was originally willing to lead his wife back on the right path. But still corroborate his opinion and instead ask him to leave. Unlike the contents of Tolu's mind, releasing knowledge that is ingrained is like separating the skin from its own bones. Death would be at the tip of the horn and the pain of the unseen wound definitely could not help him.

“Togar, I was forced to keep choosing my path to protect you and Ani's sister. They smell because our family chains have been fused together. I have spread my knowledge and gave an antidote to the residents who were hit by witchcraft and exhaustion" muttered Tolu.

Last night Tolu sat by the furnace of Mariti's mother. The world is like a half hell with no direction, no solace and a place to share likes and sorrows. Tolu thought of his mother's anger up there looking at him.

Togar went into the house, Tolu looked at her husband's back. He thought Togar would leave him with a mini mala turned back carrying a blanket to wrap himself up. He started a bonfire and sowed salt around our territory.

“Togar, where did you learn to sow salt circles?” ask Tolu to investigate.

“I remember the message of grandfather, when outside then sprinkle a circle of salt and go inside to prevent animals from slithering or all the bad aura in the outside of” he said while turning on the fire.

Until the dawn of their dawn was outside, Ani glared in front of the two watching the newlyweds' ridiculous behavior.

“Wake up, I do not want you to be the center of attention of the workers of home” said Ani pulled Tolu's hand.
