Dean arrived at the cottage in the afternoon. He had already prepared himself for the ameli for going from morning to afternoon. But he must be disappointed, because there was no one he met in the courtyard.
"Where are they all?" Mumbled wonder.
Dean set foot in the yard, then took the big cat down. Put your feet into the room. The big cat was tailing behind.
"Marianne, are you left alone here? Where are the others?"
Dean saw Marianne still sitting near Sunil. There's a pottery bowl on the table. Looks like Sunil just got fed some kind of soup or some watery porridge.
Dean was stunned looking at Sunil. His pulse was regular, his heart rate was stable, his physique had recovered as it was. He's not like a coma person because of something sick. Sunil can breathe well without tools. He looks like he's just sleeping. Very good sleep. No wonder Widuri thinks she's hibernating.
"Sunil, let's get up. Everyone loves you and is waiting for you to wake up. The ladies miss you. And Alan already regretted his mischief. While Michael was very diligent in cleaning your body. And I, too, am tired of nagging you every day."
Dean's voice was stuck in his throat. Eyes dewy. Marianne understands. He got up, patted Dean on the shoulder and walked out. Dean was still dumbstruck, rubbing a drop of water in the corner of his eye.
"Ohahaahhhh..."
Marianne screamed in fear. Dean immediately ran out of the room, thinking there was a stalker in the cottage area. Outside there is no one.
"What's wrong?"
Dean stared madly into the forest ahead there, looking for the existence of creatures that could not also be captured.
"B.that's.. Haa. Ma'am.. Ma. leopard."
Marianne who was leaning against the wall of the room, pointed with her fingers shaking violently. His face was terrified.
"Tiger?" Dean repeated Marianne's words and followed her finger.
Dean was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. He forgot about the big cat. The beast looked at Dean with a pleased expression. He jumped at Dean.
But it makes Marianne panic. His body dipped and hid his head. He heard Dean's small scream and the sound of a heavy object falling. The beast attacked Dean, not me. Marianne gathered her courage. He took a piece of firewood arranged on the wall of the room. He has to help Dean.
"Haha.. Stop, don't lick me. You haven't brushed your teeth." There was a typical Dean scolding.
Marianne lifted her head to see what was happening. Dean was covering his face from the leopard's lick. Marianne looked confused. Next to his eyebrows raised saw two different creatures of that type joking happily. Annoyedly he knocked the piece of firewood he held onto the pile of wood.
Brakk!
"Hey.. You guys are so happy, after scaring me."
Dean froze hearing Marianne's nagging. And his face licked the big cat again. Dean grabbed the animal's two front legs, hugged its back, pointed the big cat's face at Marianne.
"You've fucked Marianne, let's apologize. I told you you can't be naughty here."
Dean said softly, like he was teaching a child. Marianne who was still irritated looked at Dean strangely. His eyes flickered.
"Are you really Dean?" Ask Marianne.
"Did you hit something while flying? You're not concussion, are you?"
"Marianne! Whatchu mean?"
Dean was surprised by Marianne's assumption. 'Does joking with a big cat look excessive?' thought.
"Ah, yes.big cat. This is the big cat I found in the coconut grove on the beach there. I forgot to tell him." Said Dean with guilt.
"Come, you gotta be nice to everyone here." Dean raised the animal's body and led it towards Marianne.
"He's very sweet and submissive. You can pet it like a house cat." Dean said to calm Marianne's fear.
Fearfully, Marianne stuck out her hand to touch the fur of the beast. The fur is not as smooth or soft as the fur of an angora cat, but it is quite smooth as well. And clean, there was a scent of the sea on his body.
"Does he live on a salty beach?" Ask Marianne.
"Yes. The beach on that side of the water is salty. We took a bath in the sea." Answer Marianne.
"Simply smell a little fishy. You better go take a shower down the cliff. Alan's got the others playing in the water." Marianne.
"OKAY. We stink of fishy. So I have to take another shower." Dean said to the big cat.
"You okay being left alone?" Ask Dean.
"No. Just tell Alan to bring the women back. We have to prepare dinner." Marianne.
"okay."
Dean hugged the big cat and took it flying towards the cliff. He could see his friends playing in the water. Dean's down.
"Dee!" Excited Widuri happy.
"Waaa.. What did you bring that?" Alan saw a large gray cat with a black bottle circled in white.
Dean let go of his embrace after reaching the water. The big cat was swimming agilely. Widuri approached Dean wanting to know.
"This is my future wife. You have to look after her when I'm not around. Youunderstand?" Dean hugged Widuri.
The big cat stared at the two people in front of him without blinking. It was as if he was trying to understand something. And finally his eyes look happy when he sees Dean kissing Widuri's forehead.
"On the beach you showed me yesterday." Answer Dean.
"Whose name?" Ask Nastiti.
"I haven't given him a name yet. I want to give it to Widuri. So it's up to him to give her what name." Dean's Law.
"Hemm, I'll get you a cool name." Widuri rubbed the body of the big cat.
Together with Nastiti, Widuri bathed the animal carefully. Even his earlobe did not escape examination.
"Dean, get me the grass on the cliff. The teeth need cleaning." Widuri's Order.
"So soon madam" said Dean. He came out of the water and took a handful of grass. Then it was handed over to Widuri.
"Alan, bring Nastiti and Michael back. Marianne's alone upstairs." Said Dean.
"Nastiti, Michael, it's time to come back." Shouted Alan.
Under the cliff now there is only Dean, Widuri and the big cat who can not resist the fingers of Widuri who is cleaning her mouth. Dean laughed at the animal's desperate eyes and asked him for help.
"You're his now. So be good to him. Or you won't get food."
"You're ignorant." Widuri splashed the water towards Dean.
But Dean was even more happy and returned to splashing water. The big cat is happy because it is free from dental examinations. He splashed the water. They played water a little longer.
Dean brought the two back to the edge of the cliff as the afternoon rays cast a clear shadow in the sky.
Dean lowered Widuri who was hugging the big cat near the court. Widuri took off the animal and headed for the room to change clothes. Dean did the same.
The cat followed both. But he stopped in front of the bedroom doors. Because the two masters entered different doors. He finally waited there. His drenched fur dripped with water soaking through the stone circle, flowing towards Michael sitting down.
"Where's this water from?" Michael follows the origin of the water and finds the culprit.
"Hey, don't you know how to dry your body? Wagging.. Look at.."
Michael shook the big cat's body but to no avail. He's capitulating. But suddenly a splash of water invaded his face as the big cat trembled his body to the left right.
"Ahh. huft.. puh.."
"You were intentional? I've changed into tau clothes." said Michael who was exposed to splashes of water from the body of the big cat.
"Your fault. Why approach a cat that's soaking wet." Nastiti said without feeling.
"Hey, you should know, the women here are fierce. So you have to be careful." Michael said in a loud voice.
"What did you say?" Nastiti hunts down Michael with a hooked spoon.
"Hey, big cat, you see. They can even hunt you down armed with a spoon." Michael still continues to tease Nastiti.
"What are you doing? Don't mind them." Widuri out of the room. He immediately helped Marianne in the kitchen.

"So what are you gonna give him?" Alan asked while bribing his dinner.
"Hmmm.. How about Cloudy, Smokey, or Jet, Conor?" Widuri put forward a few names.
"Cloudy's good." Said Dean.
"Smokey is also fitting. Your fur color is like kitchen smoke. Ahahaa.." Michael kept bothering the big cat who was silent.
The big cat was busy chewing every piece of grilled fish that Marianne thrust on him.
"Dotty is good too. Suitable for the black bottles." Nastiti's Advice.
"What is this big cat?" Alan continued to watch the beast closely.
"don't know. I've never seen one of these at the zoo I've been to." Dean's Law.
"It doesn't matter what race. What matters is that he's a big cat. I've decided, Cloudy's name is for him." Widuri.
They began teaching the big cat to know his nickname. Dean also recounted his inspection on the other side of the island that day.
"So you'll check again tomorrow?" Ask Alan.
"Can you do it tomorrow? I want to go to the town boss' house. I think we should find out about Sunil's disease. It's possible that the city chief knew a good healer in that place." Answer Dean.
"good. Let me continue the examination there. You last checked up the cliff, right?" Alan asked again.
"Yes, I checked up the cliff. You can continue from there." Answer Dean.
"If only there was a doctor Chandra. He might be able to figure out soon what's wrong with Sunil." Chirps Marianne.
The others immediately fell silent. Somehow their friends.
"May they be okay. Robert is a responsible man. Hopefully we can see them again soon." Dean is trying to stay optimistic.
"Yeah, as long as they keep trying to find a way home, then one day we will cross paths and meet again." Said Alan.
