PONDEROUSLY
Jerim the Plain

The night is getting late. Where the sky color is getting darker. And the full moon that was covered a little by the visible clouds, was black. The faint light of the full moon still illuminates the surface of the earth. Although the light of the full moon appears dim.

Plus a slightly thick dew stuck to the glass surface of uncle jodi's truck. So that once uncle jodi turned on the glass wipers of his truck car. In order not to interfere with his vision while driving his truck. If not, something terrible could happen. Things that could threaten the life of him and a young girl who is with him at this time.

The air that blows hard makes the atmosphere tonight becomes complete. The cold that penetrated to touch the skin made Uncle Jodi tremble a little. But because in the car feels stuffy still uncle jodi turn on the car AC on. So that he and Yerim feel comfortable in his truck car.

But not for jerim. He had never felt cold all this time. His entire life. Never does. Because the village where he lived had such a hot air. The weather is always sunny. Even at night, he always felt hot. Until the sweat always flows and makes his body become sticky and feel sticky.

There was never any air that blew this hard in the village area where he lived. Let alone the air that blows hard, the air that blows softly almost never exists. In the village where the yerim lived the weather and the weather were still ordinary. Always stable. Never had a dynamic.

It's been four and a half hours that a yerim-ridden truck has been splitting the streets of the city's outer lane. Driving at a very fast speed. Without any pause for uncle jodi stop by again to other places.

Yerim had fallen asleep next to Uncle Jodi. Perhaps because he felt tired of the journey he took from his village to the wilderness on foot. Especially for the first time he experienced a strange event. Which made yerim a little frightened. Until uncle jodi found it in the middle of the road, in the jungle visited by uncle jodi.

The cold air from the outside mixed with the cold air coming out of the car AC makes yerim feel cold. For the first time, he experienced something like this. The temperature of this cold air to make yerim shiver. Until it felt pierced into the bones of his body. Wake him up from his sleep.

Jerim slowly opened his eyes. He blinked his eyes slowly. Vaporize spontaneously. He then corrected his sitting position properly. Folding both hands right in the heart. Tuck both palms into the armpits.

Uncle jodi glanced back at Yerim. Seen by her the body of a yerim that looks a little trembling. Like shivering. For powerless to withstand such a cold. Yerim does not wear a thick coat. Because he doesn't have such clothes. In the village where yerim lived there was never a shopping place. Especially a shop. That's why he was very confused when he invited uncle jodi to enter the rice stall. The only ones in Yerim village are traditional markets. Where he was never allowed by his mother to go to the market. Jerim knows nothing in every way.

"You why yerim? Are you feeling cold?". Ask uncle jodi.

The lips begin to look pale and dry.

"Cooling? Is that uncle?". Just ask plain yerim.

Uncle jodi suddenly knocked on his forehead. It was as if a large stone had suddenly struck his head. A little frustration came back to him.

Honestly, he was completely confused in the face of jerim's behavior. I don't know what this kid's brain is made of in Uncle Jodi's mind. Is Jerim really as human as he is? Or one of the invisible creatures? But if he's an invisible creature why do his feet stay on the ground? Touching ground? But his appearance is so strange? That's what's going around in circles in uncle jodi's mind.

Uncle Jodi turned off his car's AC. Then he refocused on driving the truck he was riding. Look straight ahead. Little disregard for yerim.

"What is uncle?". Yerim asked as he saw his uncle touching the AC of the truck he was riding in.

"That's AC." Answer's short.

"ATY?". Asked plain yerim while twitching his forehead. Looking up at uncle jodi.

"Yes. Air Conditioner." Connect uncle jodi.

"So that's what..." The sentence of yerim is broken.

"Don't ask again. Uncle doesn't know how to explain to you, son. Later uncle will tell you when we get to the city." Sela uncle jodi.

Uncle jodi decided the curiosity of yerim. He does not want to talk too much if he is focused on driving. Fear of his concentration breaking. And could endanger his life and the young girl he was giving away for free.

Yerim was silent. He could no longer say a word. Because in his eyes, looks attitude uncle jodi who was not friendly as they had met.

He was afraid that Uncle Jodi would be angry with him. He vented his anger at Jerim. He was never angry with his mother. But he had seen his mother angry with the psychic guests who came to his house at that time. Seeing his mother's attitude like that alone made Yerim very frightened.

Yerim's view is centered towards the front. Looking at the streets that looked so quiet and lengthened. No other vehicles crossed the road. Only the truck owned by uncle Kodi he was riding alone, which filled the smooth asphalt road without any defects. There were no hollows adorning the thick asphalt. And there is no longer the sight of an invisible creature that destroys the sanctity of his sense of sight.

But the chirping of some owl sounds that are heard clearly in the sense of hearing belonging to yerim and uncle jodi began to sound earthy. Like alternately. To make uncle jodi a little shudder in horror. But yerim looks ordinary. Because he heard the owl almost every night in the village where he lived. Never seen the ghost bird. Just hearing his voice. He did not know the name of the animal. He never asked his mother either.

Late night approaching early morning began to feel gripping for uncle jodi. Until uncle jodi decided to increase the speed of the wheels of his truck.

Drive lonely streets in the outer lane of the city. To quickly reach the Urban area.
