Srinayu On the Hill of Randu
Chapter 13 | Say

MYSTERY. The riddle of what Mr. Linggih and his family did the other day, when Randu caught them coming home in the middle of the night, is still unsolved. The unanswered question continued to linger in Randu's mind, making it difficult to determine where his attitude would be directed. Repeatedly trying to brush off prejudice. He tried from different points of view. The incident became strange, because it was experienced in this country in the middle of nowhere. A place in the middle of the wilderness. Earth behind the hill.

On the edge of the pool of his work, Randu sat staring at the water that had filled him naturally. The look on his face showed dissatisfaction with something. Something feels less.

"It takes time for the water to clear!" sergeant Bu Linggih half shouted. Not far from the pool the middle-aged woman was drying clothes, a distance of about twenty meters from Randu. "What do you want cattle?!"

Randu smiled, turning his head towards Bu Linggih. "I want an assortment of fish, as well as shrimp, and anything that's possible."

After a while, Nayu came and went straight to her mother. He was carrying a bag of clothes that had been washed clean. Hearing what Randu and his mother were talking about, he could not help but interfere. "Alligators." His tone was impressed.

Ms Linggih did not react, probably because she was engrossed in her work. While Randu was thinking of a response. It's like something serious. The crocodile...? It's not impossible. Because he is a Randu.

Crocodile leather has many uses, especially for making various crafts, such as bags, wallets, belts, shoes and many others. And besides alligator skin is very expensive in the city there. So, think of Randu to become a crocodile breeder. A promising livelihood. Every now and then I would go out into the woods to the city... Every time I go home I'll bring Nayu a gift... Clothes, makeup and beauty tools.stripped, bleaching cream.., also a laptop so that he no longer stutters technology. And smile to himself.

"Where are you going, huh?" ask Randu to anyone.

Again Nayu acted like holding a grudge. "Is he your father?"

He had just imagined beautiful things about himself and Nyu, but had to be disappointed to receive such an unkind response.

And, but Bu Linggih was surprised to hear that, he hurriedly reprimanded his favorite child, "Hush! It can't be. If it's polite."

But, Nayu laughs giggly gets a warning from her mother. Leaving his job he ran towards Randu.

The more the day that Nyu was happy, he could not hide his joy. Maybe it's the wrong way to just show her happiness..

"Fishing father," said Nayu when he arrived beside Randu.

"Fishing?" Hearing that answer of course made Randu a little surprised. And he also suddenly forgot the words of Nayu earlier, which was quite rude. "Why not ask me...?"

"Last night you said you were not feeling well..," said Nayu, ".so, yes, he did not invite you. You were still sleeping anyway."

Ms. Srining was smiling and shaking her head.

Randu did not take it for granted. "Why not wake me up?" pursue Randu. "Since I woke up, I feel fine. I'm really better! Even I can climb that big hill...!" He pointed it towards the back of Nayu.

Nayu raised and spread out both of her palms. Seeing that Randu was disappointed, Bayu found a way to treat him, "We should go to the small ditch instead. There are also many fish and shrimp. Indeed, it's not the place to look for a big fish."

"Good idea, Nayu," suddenly Bu Srining's voice sounded from behind. His head was slightly stretched out to look at the contents of the pond. "There is no need to wait until tomorrow or the day after. It doesn't matter if it's filled with something today. Anything." anything."

"I want to make a lake with a sloping edge, like a beach. Not steep like this" said Randu along with the release of the last fish into the pond.

Great appetite less energy. This phrase is actually appropriate for Randu. The lake he had imagined, only produced a pond the size of half a basketball court.

Nayu tries to enter the mind of Randu, about the young man's dream. It seemed, his imaginary power never ran out, like a spring that flowed continuously.

"Lake...?" ask Nayu confused.

"Yes lake. As the original plan." Randu Firm. Seeing Nyu confused, Randu realized something, "Yes yes I admit this is not a lake, just a small pond... The lake is impossible... Now I realize, it's not easy to make a big lake. Like in my dreams... You doubt that, don't you?" Randu looked at the face of Nayu.

Jayu smiled doubtfully. "Of course."

Randu tried to explain, to make his idea more acceptable. A little self-defense. "But at least a miniature of a lake."

Nayu lowered her head, then made her gaze seem sharp. And his lips were slightly tilted.

"Imitation from a lake," Randu errat, seeing that Bayu still looked confused.

Nayu tried to digest and imagine its shape. "Oh.. that's it." Then he understood immediately. His brain intelligence was not confined to the hills, proved a new vocabulary 'miniature' adds to his knowledge today.

Randu admired the reasonableness of Bayu. "That's right, say. Now it's just a matter of size. The lake could have five times the area of our pond."

"Our colors?" timpal Bayu's.

"Then say?"

This one question certainly makes Randu confused to explain.

And Nayu does not want to just wait, it takes more stimulation to make Randu open his mouth. "I'm sure it's not one of the forms where the water creatures live anymore. I think it's a call or a nickname."

Pandu suddenly nervous. "Girl.. ehm... anu..," Randu was silent for a moment, trying to convince himself while sorting out the right sentence. He does not want from this one word will cause an unwanted impression. "Ee.. that's a kind of greeting, as I greet you, like this one.... Hi, Nyu! Hi, say...!"

Still looks curious from the eye of Nayu. Sandy could feel it.

"Hallo?" reprimand Randu to resuscitate the middle Nayu looked dreamy empty gaze.

"From now on, I'm pretty sure it's a call. But..., that means Randu...? Translate it to me."

"Ah, it's not important to discuss."

Nayu did not give up. "For me it matters, Randu. Let me guess. Say.... did you change my name...? Yes, from Nayu, Nay, the first letter you replace with S, then it becomes Say. Didn't you?"

Both were silent for a moment.

Suddenly... "Haha... Yeah, you're right, Nyu." Reply Randu relieved.

But Nayu continued to look at Randu with full investigation.

"No. no. No. That's not it." Nayu doesn't believe it just like that.

"Really, Nayu, that's the answer."

"Explain!" Pinta Nayu while folding her hands on her chest.

"Explain?"

"Yes, explain. Why did you replace it?"

"Just a whim, Nayu."

"Ooo.. lest it be a joke." Nayu's gaze was getting full of search. "Yes. yeah, it's a joke, a mockery." Nayu then immediately turned back and left.

"Woodoo...! Wait, Nyu...! Call Randu, but did not manage to prevent Nyu's move. "Yepiuu...!"

"Say.. say.. that's..."

Nayu's getting away.

"Ouch... Nay...."

Keep step.

"That's satay...! Snippet... The prefix says Iaaang!" yells Long bandu.

Nayu's steps stopped instantly.

"Ouch... Die me... What did I just say...!" Maki Randu to herself. "Too fast I express feelings!"

But it only succeeded for a moment, a moment later the girl returned to her feet.

"Wood..." Call the desperate Pandu.

"Oh Tuhaan, not necessarily he likes me too. Far from the fire." Randu wailed to face the sky.

The innocent young man's gaze continued to control the departure of the increasingly distant Nyu. He considered himself to have made a fatal mistake. But is all that true? Not necessarily. Nayu went to turn her back to Randu with a face that became reddish pomegranate, looking at the lips that were sweet. There was only the wind that passed by her, watching how the girl was blushing in shame. He bowed several times to the ground, and tried to cover his mouth. Had Mayu been able to penetrate the bowels of the earth, in the darkness there he would have made his laugh; about the words of Randu, about his guilt Randu, about his self-disbelief Randu.
