Srinayu On the Hill of Randu
Chapter 17 | New Friends

NAYU seems to be busy. Or intentionally wanting to look like that. Starting from washing dishes, sweeping the floor, taking care of agricultural land, to watering beautiful flowers in the yard of the house. At least that was how he was when Rei suddenly approached him.

"Morning, Nayu," Rei said softly.

Nayu. With a smile he was smiling. A sign that he is ready to start the beginning of a friendship. To his left Rei stood upright while crossing his arms under his chest.

"Morning too," replied Sayu very kindly. Then he asked, "Can you sleep comfortably last night?"

"It's very good" Rei replied immediately. Then watch the surroundings. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Em..," Nayu confusedly responded to the question. He smiled again, even sweeter. "What yes...? Ee.. accompany me to chat. That helps too."

Rei was overjoyed to hear such an answer. Indeed, from the beginning he had liked Bayu, hoping to be friends. He even secretly admired her. "By pleasure. I can do nothing for days when I get a conversation partner."

"Hi. hi..," Nayu chuckled at hearing that. "Speaking about anything?"

Rei thought for a moment. Listening to the painting of white clouds in the sky. "It could be anything. Sometimes about something that doesn't matter."

"That's the name of the hobby of speech," replied Nayu.

Rei laughed again. "What flower is it, Nayu?"

"Wire Release: Blue Cempaka."

"It's pretty... And that one...?"

Slowly the conversation became warmer. Stiffness does not last long. They talk like old friends. So easily intertwined. Mutual. Maybe because they are both girls, the other age.

ZILLIAN awoke from her sleep. Taking a sitting position and rubbing his eyes, then looking at the array of rays that managed to break through the window slit. Seen Menon and Kori are still nearby, busy chatting while watching him who began to wake up.

Without greeting his two friends first, Zillian stood up and was about to walk away. But, it was immediately stopped by Kori's greeting. "Where are you going...? Here's your part," point Kori towards the glass of drink. Looks like a glass of tea water, or maybe some chocolate brew.

"But it's cold. It's not nice to take a sip while it's still warm" Menon added.

"No problem" Zillian replied briefly. Then move on. "I'm gonna wash my face first."

"It's better," Kori replied again. "And remember.., there's also breakfast."

Menon and Kori talked for a long time, Zillian has not yet returned. Actually these two people are also tired of continuing to sit here. Previously, their intention was to take a walk around the residence of Mr. Linggih, and deliberately wait for Zillian to wake up and then invite him to participate.

"Would we get out, I'm getting bored. Out there it seems interesting," Kori said revealing her mood.

"Me too" Menon replied.

OUTSIDE, Menon and Kori find Rei and Zillian are with Bayu. The three of them were busy feeding the fish in the pond. Turns out Zillian was already in action. Seeing him, Kori immediately accelerated a step. Running small is like being afraid of missing a show. Something interesting there. Something or maybe someone.

"Hi..," Kori said a few meters before approaching. "What are you guys doing?"

Soon Menon followed. "Are we late?"

"Almost just." Rei smiled wryly as he pointed towards the pond. This girl has a cute face, babyface. He appears to be three years younger than his current age, who has turned nineteen. Not impossible, considering he was a jolly and childish person, it made him ageless.

"I guess something interesting," Kori felt a little disappointed.

Hearing Kori's words, Rei felt disapproval. "Well! Do you think feeding the fish that are struggling to eat them, is not interesting?! Don't you see, they're so cute and adorable!?"

"Yes right... Pretty funny anyway. But. Not as good as I imagined." Kori defended herself a little.

"Then... How do you want?" Sergey Rei. This girl seemed to be seriously responding. That is, finally a small fight is inevitable. "Do you want to burn the fields, or the house of Nayu?"

"I'm still a sane idiot!" reply Kori again do not want to lose.

As soon as everyone looked, so did Nayu. This was a chance for him to look at Menon, rather than having to steal a glance. Only, you better not be too long.

"Burning yams or fish," continued Menon calmly, then returned the gaze of Naju. Makes the girl—entah why—s slightly misbehaved

Then Kori approaches Nyu-styled like an old friend who is already familiar. "What fish in the pond can be in...."

Not finished Rei said, Nayu immediately understood, then rushed away.

Not far away, Randu was pulling the grass. Actually, he also noticed the crowd, and he also realized that Nayu, who was struggling, was walking quickly towards him.

Before Nayu could make her point, Randu immediately said, "Give them some entertainment. Burning fish in the morning is quite fun."

Nayu was surprised to hear it, how could Randu know. But he did not want to think too much about it, at this time his heart was very happy and flowery. Oh, how not, he has a lot of friends now. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower in the wild, and it was addressed to Randu as a token of gratitude. But something strange, Randu was not captivated by the sight of death. Not as usual.

"Where are you going...?!" sergeant Randu suddenly seemed to prevent the departure of Nyu.

"Kan... Catching fish in the pond..," replied Nayu puzzled.

Then like an angel who always lurks the contents of a person's heart, Randu said, "Neither behind our house. Not in that direction."

Nayu smiled again, this time looking shy. But Nayu did not immediately head to the place that Randu suggested. This girl is still silent. There was a feeling of laziness to step towards his home.

"Alright I'll get it for you. You'll be with them soon!" But behind all these years Randu, he seems to be not excited. His face was pale and lethargic.

The face of Nayu was confused.

While walking Randu muttered softly, "After this what else do they want from me?"

At the back of the house Randu cross paths with Mr. Linggih. His pale and lethargic face could not be hidden, so Mr. Linggih asked, "Are you sick, Randu?"

Randu smiled wryly, then replied, "It seems so Mr. Linggih. People say it's a lazy disease. I just have to fight it with a lot of moves. I'm sure my body will be refreshed... Nothing to worry about."

Randu's explanation does not make parents who have eaten a lot of salt acid believe it just like that. From the look of his eyes, he was trying to investigate. His suspicions are not without reason. These few days Mr. Linggih observed a lot. Starting from the care of the originally quiet Nayu now suddenly turned jolly, and then continued on Randu, which was the opposite; becoming super-blind, like a loan repairman who lives because of bad credit.

"Dewina..," exhorted Mr. Linggih to name someone. The shadow of the figure with the name Dewina again burst into his head. Wherever it is will always be a quagmire of beetles; a layer of legit that will always be contested; a romance that is always discussed throughout the ages. That figure is hard to forget. Years of trying to erode his nicks, miles of distance trying to separate, millions of trees blocking his shadows, even with layers of hills and towering mountains. However, he is a vibrant colored shadow at any time can be present at any time. Starting from the rising to the rising of the sun, along with the presence of the wind, morning dew, rain, drought, stars, moon. "Oh... Fetal."

It didn't take long to find the thing you were looking for. After picking up the mesh that was stuck on the back wall of the house, Randu rushed away. He again used the same road as he headed to the back of the house. Not far from him, on the back left side of the house - ten meters from the side of the kitchen - Mr. Linggih was still busy with his work. All sorts of things chuckled on the table. Some are deliberately arranged neatly and others appear scattered. There were grains that were plant seeds, and three piles of sand were as high as one inch. His right hand was holding a spoon. No doubt this parent is concocting the land with various kinds of mixture.

"There is a small party for the guests" said Randu as if addressed to Mr. Linggih, but did not stop his steps.

"Hmm..," Mr. Linggih coughed softly. "Make the atmosphere as warm as possible." A phrase that looks more like advice is uttered. But, his gaze remained focused on his work. It did not matter whether Randu could still listen to his words or not. While his instinct says the boy keeps going away.

"RANDU, to your right...! Hurry along! Oh, you just let her run away..."

"Hey mas, spirit, donk! How come lemes is!"

Randu heard the voice of the annoying woman, mixed with the babbling of the men.

"Oh, suck!"

"Yes..nih..."

"Yes... My stomach is starting to rumble..."

Such is. It turned out that the atmosphere became more familiar than expected. Everyone is happy, except one person.

Somehow the feeling for a person whose something belongs to be made into a meal that is enjoyed in crowds. It was not even thought of by him, as soon as his labor was harvested. Not to mention his pride, which now looks more like a lackey, being told, being snapped at in such a way. Rinai laughs as if to complement her stupid appearance. In his ears sometimes appear with sudden whisperings of demons. Full of insults and incitement; 'See how you are now?! It's still like old times. Even if buried in the bowels of the earth, you are still a loser. As if the world is happy to enjoy and let yourself continue and continue to be gnawed'.
