PONDEROUSLY
Seeing Another Woman On The River

The sun was not shining too much. The sign of the afternoon has come to the face of the earth. That means the night will soon arrive.

Yerim had been in the river long enough. He also finished washing his body. His clothes and dirty dishes were finished washing.

Jerim then sat on a large rock beside the river. The snare to catch his fish in the river arrived - just move - motion. A sign he has got the prey of the river water dwellers he wants. Yerim hurried to get his catch. There are some small fish - small that he has moved into the container to accommodate the fish - fish that will be his dinner meal.

Before he went to the river, Jerim went to his mother's garden first. To pick vegetables that will be an addition to the dinner menu for him. Of course her mother would cook for her. When he was in the river when he first came, Jerim had cleaned and washed the vegetables he had taken from the garden.

Jerim then went back up to the river. He began to lift the goods he brought earlier to the river. I want to go home to her mother soon. However, yerim was like hearing the voice of a woman humming near a river.

Reflexively, the jerim's body turned towards the river. Yerim's eyes began to look for the origin of the voice of a woman he had heard. Who is humming.

Actually the whole life of yerim since he was from childhood to this second, he had never heard anyone humming. About what is humming alone he does not know. He only knows the river, cook, weave, clean and rest. Clean - clean in everything, of course. It was like washing himself by washing his entire body. Washing dishes - dirty dishes or cooking utensils that have been used by his mother. Cleaning the house, the yard. As well as drying and pounding rice to become rice and can be cooked into rice for him to enjoy at meal time later.

And, the sense of sight of the yerim captures the figure of a woman. A woman who looks very beautiful in the eyes of the yerim. Where the woman was washing her body on the other side of the river. She was wearing a dress that she never saw. With a long scarf that dangles into the river. And it was like there was a crown on the woman's head.

Jerim scrunched his forehead. His brain began to think on its own. Until it came to his mind. That to Yerim's knowledge, there were no villagers like the women he saw today. Never saw that woman. What's more with the strange clothes in the eyes of the jerim.

Feelings of anxiety began to be present in Jerim's heart. Where negative thoughts begin to wander in his mind. Was the woman he saw human? Or that female figure was an astral being? Like jinn.

Without a second thought, Jerim hurried to leave the river. Quickly the feet of the yerim stepped down the path to his house. With a dense forest of wilderness around the yerim.

Yerim does not want to take risks if something unexpected happens. Which could make him hurt. And made the mother angry. Not anger at him. But wrath to the one who has made Jerim hurt. If that had happened. Jerim hurried to leave the river. Where also looks dusk is getting faded. To change with the night.

____________________________________________________________________

Jerim arrived in the courtyard of his house. Slowly he stopped his footsteps. Standing in the middle of his yard, staring at the door of his house.

Caught by his sense of sight, the atmosphere inside his house was still bustling. Not as quiet and quiet as usual.

The sky is getting darker. The early night sign that has arrived. The crescent-shaped moon has started to come to accompany the night. But without stars - stars scattered in the sky. Only the moon and a few dark clouds accompanied the night sky.

Doubtful that Jerim was about to step his foot into his mother's house. He was afraid that this would happen to him again. When two men who were visiting his house made strange comments to him.

But if he doesn't get in right away, his body can become sick. Because the wet cloth is still attached to his body. That looks damp.

Finally he broke his heart. He decided to keep going and go into his house. But Jerim did not want to enter through the front door of his house. So he turned to the side of his house. Walked to the kitchen of his house. Incidentally in the kitchen of his mother's house there are still clothes hanging. Which had dried up after being dried in the sun yesterday. But Yerim had not taken it and took it to his room.

Yerim is now in his mother's kitchen. Of course it belongs to him too. Yerim immediately replaced the wet cloth attached to his body. Replace it with clean clothes hanging on the kitchen wall.

Yerim went to his backyard. To dry the wet cloth attached to his body. And the clothes that he had washed while in the river earlier.

Yerim rushed back into his kitchen. He actually wanted to cook in his kitchen. Because his mother is like still entertaining guests who are in the living room of his house. But he was afraid that his mother would rebuke him. Because his mother never allowed yerim to cook. As her mother said, if Christine was afraid of her daughter why - why later.

Yerim decided to go into his house. It doesn't matter if his mother's guests are still in his house.

Jerim put his feet. Entering his house through the back door. Which is connected between the kitchen door and the back door of the living room of his house. Where the living room and the living room become one.

All the guests of his mother again looked at the yerim figure who arrived - suddenly already present in the room where they were. Christine also stared at her daughter.

"You're home, son?". Ask christine.

"Had mother". Answer the short yerim.

"Go to your room. Cause I'm gonna cook you dinner in a minute". Christine's word to jerim.

Yerim immediately set his foot in his room. Waving the curtains that became the door cover of his room. Go inside his room. And back to her room curtain.

Again, the sense of sight of each guest of Christine stared fixedly at the jerim. Yerim disappeared from their sight.

Still stuck in their hearts, a great curiosity about the yerim. However, they still did not dare to ask Christine.

Again, the look on Christine's face looks scary again. Like he doesn't like it when his guests see his daughter. Like it was this afternoon and this time, that was caught by the netra christine.

"Hey you! I told you not to look at my daughter!". Shouted christine.
