pancason
Part 6 home attack

The voices of some people were boisterous in my ears, but I still felt reluctant to open my eyes. My body has been so tired since last night. Brother Roger's call just makes me more coiled with a blanket. This morning it was cold, but it was cold that face. Ah, I think I still want to sleep a little longer. However, the ringing call on my phone sounded louder than Roger's voice, because I put it under my sleeping pillow. I blinked and looked at that flat screen.

"Well, any signal?" asked Kak Bintang who was standing near my bed. I just stared at him for a while and switched back to the flat screen in hand. "Papa?!" my peek.

I don't know why I sat down, hesitating to answer Papa's phone, but if I don't pick him up then there will be a third world war at home. I cleared my throat, while Kak Bintang slowly stepped aside while coming out of the tent. Apparently outside there is already Kak Roger and Kak Faza who are fishing in the lake.

I swipe to the right of the screen button. Putting the flat object near the ear, cleared my throat to neutralize my voice. "Yes, Pah?" ask me with doubt. I'm afraid Papa is angry. Because I didn't go home.

"Where are you?" ask for a voice from across. Flat and cold, typical of my Papa.

"When again camping with friends, Pah. This is going home" I said trying as calmly as possible to answer.

"Slimmer? Now home!"

And the phone is turned off. I felt weak, my device held tightly in my hand, my net staring at the three men out there who were still fishing. Breathe in, and enjoy the fresh morning air, may help my heart and mind become clearer.

"Bill?" call Brother Rayi who is cleaning his things. She did sleep not so far from my bed. I turned to him and cleaned the blanket I was wearing. My sleepiness disappeared, even as if I did not want to breathe after getting a call from Papa. Brother Rayi approached, and pulled up a chair and sat down near me. "Why?"

"It's okay." I forced her to smile so she wouldn't think anything. But Rayi still remained silent in that chair.

"You're not saying goodbye to your Papa, are you?"

I glanced at him while taking a deep breath. The blanket tidying event ended, and the thing is now being held tightly. "My relationship with Papa is not so good, brother. Papa is too .. curb all the things I want to do. Even Papa didn't know I was taekwondo at school."

"Hm, most parents do, right? It means they are worried about your safety. Papa you must have your own reasons for doing that. But that doesn't mean you have to defy him anyway, Bil. Maybe it has to be changed. The way we look at our parents is not the same."

"Yes, I understand, brother. But .. I don't know, I feel like I'm upset about everything around me. Papa, the mama who is now not the same to us anymore, even though it all feels the same to me. Mama died or did not, Mama and I have not talked for a long time because mama is sick. The difference is, all this time I can still see my mother, even though only silent with many life aids nearby. I know that my mom can't be saved, but Papa always forbids doctors to take off her life support. But, papa was busy himself. Like her job, Papa never cared about me. I'm sick of it, brother, the same as everything in my life."

"All?" ask Rayi. I looked back at him, those eyes looking unusual. And strangely it makes my heart beat faster. "Me too?" he asked again, his gaze felt very deep as if it had penetrated into the heart of my heart. Oh, my God, why is this. Why I tremble.

"Ih, Brother Rayi said what the hell," I seemed to try to be reasonable. He laughed, then turned his gaze to his friends outside. "Later to see your Papa, how? Let me explain this matter, so you won't be scolded?"

"Eum, no need, brother. Free. Papa won't want to be shaken. I know how Papa is." I started packing, putting my things in my bag.

"Hm, yes I have. Then we'll go home now. Let me call the others to get ready" said Kak Rayi, then walked out of the tent to call his other friends.

On the way I was a lot silent, the car was crowded because of the arrival of Kak Faza, he told me a lot about what he experienced yesterday. Everyone was curious about what happened to him. Honestly, I didn't really listen to his explanation. I chose to stare towards the window with the headset in my ear, listening to soothing songs. I think coming home is a real nightmare. I'm tired of having to fight again with Papa, but I also can't stay silent if Papa says things that hurt my heart. I'm sure what I did was right. I'm just helping people.

Brother Roger nudged me and pointed forward, I am indeed the one who currently does not hear any sound other than the one on the small object in my ear then saw the motion of Brother Roger's lips. I finally took off the headset and stared ahead. Brother Rayi and Kak Bintang were looking at me, even the four men. "Why?" many confused.

"Udah to home" said Kak Bintang pointing forward. When I noticed the situation outside, apparently I had reached my own courtyard. I was completely unconscious, and a car parked there suffocated me. Papa's at home.

"Thank you" I said, opening the car door beside me.

"Take care, Bill," cried Brother Roger. "Bil, thanks," said Brother Faza softly.

I smiled at them as I waved my hand, about to let them go. But suddenly Brother Rayi got out of the car, and is now standing in front of me. "Why?" manya curious. His attitude was strange and very suspicious.

"I won't let you in, tell Papa you" he explained and walked past me. Suddenly I glared and immediately grabbed his hand. He stopped and looked at me with a frown. "Sister, no. Please," I pleaded.

"Why? It's okay, Bil. I should have given permission to your Papa before I took you out yesterday. I don't want you to get scolded." Sis Rayi's words really made me melt. If my heart is like ice cream, it melts quickly.

"Seriously, Brother. Don't need. Let me go in by myself, will you?" doors again. I don't know what Papa's reaction would be if I knew I was going out with men, a bunch of men and staying in the woods. Maybe I'll hang or lock up in my room. In this debate, the sudden creaking of the door opened making my heart pump faster. This is faster than I experienced yesterday with Brother Rayi. And I'm pretty sure, it's Papa. Brother Rayi looked at the door and widened his smile. "Morning, Om," she said.

"Morning," said a special heavy voice, Mr. Elang Dhananjaya. My papa. I went down, all too late.

"Sorry, Om. We just got home ...."

"When, comein!" Not yet Kak Rayi continued his sentence, Papa immediately gave such a firm mandate. Before entering I glanced at him, Brother Rayi looked at me with a shady face as usual. Though I was panicked and frightened because Papa actually caught us in front of the house. I was going to go up through the window to the room.

My steps quickly went to the door where Papa was there. After going inside I no longer heard them chatting. But I'm sure that Papa and Brother Rayi are still in serious conversation. I better get in the room. And lock it in a meeting.

_____________

It was late at night, I had taken a shower and tidied up the school equipment. Tomorrow I'm going to taekwondo. It was enough days of mourning for me. And I have to get back to my usual activities. The clock has shown at 20:00, and I've been called many times for dinner. If only there was Om Gio maybe the situation would not be stiff like this.

I refused to eat many times, but I finally gave up when Papa called me from the door. Breathe in first, because the war is about to start.

My door was wide open, Papa at the door in his sleep suit. I only dared to look down, but I was sure that Papa kept looking at me. "Corn, eat."

"Pa, I'm not hungry. Tomorrow, morning."

"Eat first. Papa knows you're there just eating noodles and canned food. Auntie's been cooking a lot of food, who wants to spend it?"

There is no anger in Papa's words. And this makes me wonder and confused. I finally dared to look at Papa. "What cooking?"

"Dripping. There's goat gulai too, huh, Papa sure tomorrow has to check this cholesterol," Papa said with a funny-looking face, and managed to make me laugh softly. "You want to eat, right?" I nodded quickly. Papa nodded and walked first. Miraculous, why is this? Papa's changing, weird! But I like it.

Dinner this time was the most enjoyable dinner in the last few months. Even several times I saw Papa smiling while telling his daily life all this time. How are things in his office, about Om Gio who is now back busy with his activities, or about Papa's business trip. He said next month I will be invited to a small island in Papua. Papa said the beach there is very beautiful.

"Bil, Papa likes it when you start making new friends. Take them home often" Papa said at the end.

"Do you mean Brother Rayi?"

"Yes, the three of them turned out to be the son of Papa's business friend. Papa's met him before."

"When?"

"Eum, if not wrong time the inauguration of the branch office. He came because he was invited by his father too. He's Hendra Wijaya's son, remember? The owner of the hospital where your mother was treated first."

"Yes, you've met, right? Same with Hendra Wijaya?"

I just nodded while recalling the incident, where Papa introduced the man while we were in the hospital. Ah, it deserves the name of Kak Rayi, is Rayi Derrien Wijaya.

Papa ate ravenously tonight, so did I. And it happens very rarely. I was surprised what Rayi said to Papa earlier. To the point that Papa wasn't mad knowing I was gone all night.

"Pa, Brother Rayi said anything?" I really can't stem my curiosity anymore. Papa who was eating, then looked at me, then looked at the ceiling and nodded, "Oh, just saying that you guys were out camping last night. There are organizational events at the school. And you said you were one of the OSIS candidates, huh?"

"Huh?! Me? THE OSIS? Ah, make it up," my dear because it's not true. Rayi's sister is really good at lying, but very exaggerated.

"It's okay, Bill. Good dong, if you can enter the board of OSIS, because in an organization at school will definitely bring a better personality later. That's good for you. Papa pray, let you be the head of the next period of OSIS," whispered Papa enthusiastically.

I swallowed the rice inside my mouth. Without chewing any longer, because Papa's request just now was something I had avoided in school. I don't want to be the center of attention and I prefer to shut myself off from people.

"Well, now often at home? No more business trips out of town, are you?" ask me to divert the conversation.

"Why? You have taekwondo practice tomorrow, right?"

"Ohuk!" I was really surprised to hear that, to the point of making me choke while drinking. I thought Rayi didn't say this but I was wrong. I looked at Papa who was now serious. My heart seemed to stop suddenly, and came back beating faster than before.

"Sir Rayi said anything?"

"All." Papa was silent, hooking his hands together at the table. Our meal is over, and now I have no appetite. "In addition to taekwondo, also about wendigo and the incident at the lake last night. Rayi told me everything."

"..."

"And actually all this time Papa already knows, if you practice taekwondo. Even before you go to school. You've been practicing martial arts, taught by Om Gio, who do you think told him to? Papa, Nabila."

"..."

"Papa is aware, there is no way Papa is against you constantly. Your talent can't keep Papa hidden. The world cannot be safe at all times. Moreover, Papa can not continue to be beside you. Sorry if all this time Papa's attitude makes you not like, Papa is just confused how to. Papa has to go through it all alone, raising you, without Mama. After all, Mama is the best woman you've met."

"Mah ...."

"Sorry, Papa. Papa loves you." That word, it really entered my heart. My eyes were teary, my lips were shaking, and my body was cold hot. Papa retreated his chair, then walked over to me. Papa hugged me, I who was still sitting on the chair was only able to hug his flat stomach. The smell of his body I really miss. I don't know how long Papa and I haven't been this close. "Papa is just worried, afraid of bad things happening to you. Papa forbids you to do such reckless things, for Papa is afraid, Bil. Afraid you're going as you used to. Especially now that my mom is gone."

"Papa don't say that. N when it's not going anywhere. If you're going to keep Papa here," I whine. My crying broke too. I sobbed and made Papa's embrace tighter. Papa then let go of his embrace, then squatted in front of me. He wiped the wet tears on my cheeks. "Don't cry anymore. You're ugly when you cry. What if your eyes are swollen tomorrow?"

I laughed at Papa's joke. Until suddenly the window glass in the living room broke. We turned and looked at each other in wonder. "What's up, Pah?"

"I don't know. Papa look first, yeah."

My feelings are not good. The state of the house feels hot, Bi Wati I have called since then did not reply. It's freaky. I finally went to look for Bi Wati in the kitchen. It is only 5 meters from the dining room to the kitchen. The room was empty, even dark. There was only light from one of the bathrooms that was indeed in the kitchen.

Suddenly the sound of Papa's screams rang out loud. As soon as I ran forward, I was afraid something might happen to Papa. When I arrived at the living room, I was surprised to see the messy condition of this room. Living room table made of thick glass, broken. The window is too, but Papa is not here. I kept screaming for Papa. And then I realized that Papa was in the yard. His moaning sound was faint but I could still hear it clearly. I ran out of the house.

In the courtyard, Papa was lying with his chest pressed down. In the other corner of our courtyard, there was someone very familiar in my eyes. She ... He was the creature that was in the lake yesterday. Is he here?!

"Father!" my screams that saw him were helpless. But at least Papa is still alive and can stand. I ran closer to him. But suddenly his body seemed to be pulled by force and instead approached the man in a dark corner there.

"When!" Papa screamed while holding his chest.

My neck was choked, and my body was held up high. My eyes are starting to blur. The oxygen I breathe is getting thinner. Samar I saw Om Gio coming in from our fence. And there's Rayi behind him. They look panicked. They even screamed, visible from their open mouths and their anxious faces. But I didn't hear that voice. Their voices I can't hear. My ears are buzzing and making me dizzy.

I'm trying to wriggle, find a foothold. Otherwise I'll be dead in seconds. This thing in front of me feels real. No longer a creature as refined as yesterday. I even held her hand and tried to get away from her.

He grinned with a horrible face. His left hand was still holding my neck, while his right hand was brushed in the other direction. At the end of my tail, Rayi's brother bounced off his car. The car lights were lit with a fairly crowded light. The sound of an alarm should also be boisterous. If I could hear it.

Bathara Kalla turned her head behind me, a shiny object that looked like it was going to stab into the body of the creature in front of me. But the knife was thrown far away. My mouth was getting wet, it felt bitter. It looks like blood. Whether I got a crazy idea of where, the face of the terrible creature in front of me, I spat it out with blood from my mouth. He screamed as the red liquid entered his eyes.

He automatically took his hand off my neck. I fell down, grabbed my neck and tried to get away from her.

Crawl by holding the grass in front. Keep at. But all of a sudden my leg was held and pulled, not the pants she pulled, but my calf. His sharp nails stuck firmly in the calf, tearing it deep, to the point of making me scream in pain.

Three men were each injured. I am sure that they no longer have the power and power to fight against this creature. My leg really hurt. Not just one, but both. He seemed to be crawling on my back and continuing to tear away every piece of flesh that was there. Every tear made me scream in pain. Until my back shirt finally ripped.

He who initially held my back, then instead screamed while holding his palm. I see it clearly now. And the sounds around me began to sound without any disturbance.

"Lang!" jeremy Om Gio. Throw the knife at Papa. Papa caught it deftly and then ran with all his might to get closer to this creature. Brother Rayi came closer to me and carried me away. In his trunk I saw Papa piercing the heart of the creature earlier.

The human version of Bathara Kalla in my yard now looks like a statue. His body cracked with a bright light in each crack. And finally broken.

"Good, Bil! We're going to the doctor right now" Rayi said in a panic. Seeing me bleed blood.

"Don't! Just go in the house, take Nabila to the room!" papa's Word. Rayi's brother who was about to protest was detained by Om Gio. And finally I was taken to the room and laid on the sand bed that was in my other room.

"Why not go to the doctor?!"

Papa just glanced and refocused on my body. "If you don't need a doctor!" papa Cetus.

Om Gio pulled Rayi's hand and told her to look at me.

I, who was still screaming in pain, slowly began to feel my body getting better. I closed my eyes, and began to feel a cold sensation in every part of my body that was injured.

From the tip of the foot slowly seeped up. My calf, thighs, and finally my whole body. When there was no more pain, I opened my eyes. Staring at Papa, "cold," I said, shivering. Papa grabbed the blanket and covered me. My body is back intact, no more cuts or tears like that. All gone in just minutes.

Well, this is how I am, as bad as any wound I receive, all will be gone and fine when I sleep on the sand. Like these. Strange, but real. And I don't know why either.
