SURVIVORS
Chaptre 159. Application for Widuri
In the afternoon Yoshi arrived at the cottage in the middle of the forest. I see a new building there. And Dean is still finalizing some of the details.
"It's prettier than the other rooms. The view is good too. Is this for Aunt Widuri?" guess Yoshi teller.
"You're like a fortune teller." chapped Dean as he continued to work.
"Hemm, staying planted with some flowers by the window, a pair of benches in the corner to enjoy the sea, then this tiny cottage will be a cottage full of love." Ledek Yoshi while laughing.
"Dean, it's afternoon. Finish it tomorrow." Widuri shouted from the corner of the kitchen.
"Okay" replied Dean.
"If uncle's serious, why don't you marry him?" Yoshi asked in surprise.
"Will you wave him to me?" ask Dean.
"It turns out my uncle was a coward. Hahahaa," Yoshi couldn't help but laugh.
"Feel funny heh? You try it, just to know the answer." Dean threw a glance towards the ocean below the cliff.
Yoshi. "So uncle ever proposed to Aunt Widuri? When's? Directly rejected, right?"
"You really want to know or want to tease me, huh?" Dean flicked Yoshi's forehead in a fit of anxiety.
"Ohh," Yoshi rubbed his forehead.
"Of course I want to know. But I can't believe that my handsome uncle has been rejected outright."
Yoshi ran to save himself while laughing.
"What kind of nephew are you. Far from hope at all. There is no empathy at all."
They ran in the yard to the courtyard.
"Auntie, help me. From earlier uncle touched me because of you." Adu Yoshi on Widuri.
"My partner?" Tanya Widuri. Yoshi nodded with a plain face.
"Don't you listen to him. This kid should be given a little flinch in order to honor his uncle."
Dean was already standing in front of Widuri. Seeing Yoshi crouching behind Widuri, he was worried that Yoshi would talk to him instead of Widuri.
"Viduriii. The bathroom water is over. How'this?" Shouts Niken from the bathroom.
"You go fill the water first. After that shower. It's up to you if you still want to run around again tonight.
Dean looked at the bad gurgle, he immediately turned around after glaring towards Yoshi. Then he climbed to the cliff to get water.
"Niken, wait a minute, Dean's getting you some water!" Shouted Widuri.
"okay." Sahut Niken's.
"Let's help me prepare dinner." Widuri pulled Yoshi's hand which was already walking towards Sunil's room.
"I want to see Uncle Sunil."
"Help cook first. Sunil's not going anywhere. After all there were already Chandra and Marianne doctors accompanying him." Answer the Agile Widuri.
Although Yoshi was reluctant to enter the kitchen, but then he immediately smiled.
"Auntie, will you marry my uncle Dean?"
"Uhukk.."
Widuri coughed suddenly at the question that was shot directly like that.
"You okay? Did I surprise you?"
"No.. Ehemm.. Did he tell you to say that?" ask Widuri to know.
"No. Uncle didn't tell me. He just asked me if I would dare to wave you for him" elak Yoshi.
Widuri smiled knot. He kept watching his work.
"Auntie, my uncle is serious about marrying you. He's already prepared a place for you to live there." Yoshi pointed to a new room not far from the kitchen.
"He said that for me?" Widuri scrunched up both of her eyebrows.
'Dean is serious' Inner Widuri.
"All right, I'll consider. Tell her like that."
Widuri grabs Yoshi's hand.
"Now please stir our soup. I'm gonna go get some fish in the fumigation place." Widuri left Yoshi.
"Aunty's answer is uncertain. But still good, rather than being rejected outright."
Yoshi shook his head in wonder at Widuri's attitude that was not easily subdued by Dean's good looks.
Alan and Nastiti had returned with enough fish to be included in the fumigation bin to make it more durable.
Alan also put out a lot of coconuts in the corner of the kitchen.
"A lot. What's that for?" Ask Yoshi.
"To be taken water and food. To cook or can be made oil also if diligent." Marianne showed up in the kitchen.
"Good idea Marianne. It's been a long time since I last sauteed food with butter made by the Goddess." Widuri gave her thumb.
"Now I realize that previously Dewi ah who always prepares milk, yogurt, butter or cheese for us." Nastiti lowered her head.
"What's wrong?" Niken who just finished taking a shower, approached.
"We're planning on making oil with a mountain of coconuts that Alan picked." Answer Widuri quickly.
"Auntives, if enough, may be sold in the market. It's a good price." Yoshi's Proposal.
"Good idea Yoshi. We just do it. If it's a lack of coconuts, let Alan and Dean pluck it to the shore there." Nastiti had imagined the clattering of coins if he sold them to the market.
"He who?" Ask Niken.
"I'm Yoshi. Uncle Dean's nephew." Yoshi replied with a friendly smile.
"Danne's nephew? How come?" Niken looked at Yoshi in disbelief.
"long story. It's getting dark now. So secure our middle¹ village first. Everyone's hungry, right?" Marianne mediates.
They finally got back busy in the kitchen preparing dinner.
The night was already completely down when everyone could finally sit down together to enjoy a warm meal. Tonight drizzle down. The air is cooler.
The smell of wet soil evaporating into the air
Like the scent of lovers meeting each other
The earth and sky are lovers
Who miss each other through the rain
To live all beings with a clear stream of love
Growing all the plants from the womb of his beloved earth
"Ah, I forgot something." chirped Yoshi.
All eyes looked at him with interest.
"So the afternoon after walking down the beach to the pier, I heard people in the market. Some put up a news story on the board that there was a man who was washed away, and had been saved by the fishermen."
"Well?!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.
"Why haven't you said that since? We can find him, right? Maybe it's one of us!" Niken was angry.
"I forgot. I told you earlier that I forgot." said Yoshi lowered his head.
"It's that important you can forget? Or indeed you don't care about our friends who are still missing." accused Niken annoyed.
"Movie!"
"Propsy. He was saved anyway. So we can still look for him tomorrow."
"Why do you have to be tomorrow if you can today?" Niken.
"The night is very dark. How'd auntie look?" ask Yoshi plain.
"You, don't call me aunt! I didn't understand how you got here. Either Dean's really your uncle, or it's just your cunning way of getting close to us. What do you really want?"
Anxiety mixed with annoyance Niken turned into suspicion. Making him throw various accusations at Yoshi who has not been known.
Yoshi's body trembled. Widuri who was sitting next to him realized that. Grasping Yoshi's fingers and throwing a motherly smile.
"Auntie.. It's just that you're my aunt because of your relationship with my uncle. But I want to honor all uncle's friends with similar names. Huhuhu.." Yoshi was crying in Widuri's arms.
"I'm glad you called uncle. And don't forget your Sun uncle, too." Alan said encouragingly to Yoshi.
"I don't mind being called uncle either" Michael added.
"Who doesn't like being the aunt of a pretty girl like you? I don't mind," Nastiti smiled widely.
"Here, don't be sad anymore. Niken is just upset. He has no intention of hurting you. Don't keep it in your heart.." Marianne's words are full of tenderness.
But not with Dean who has been quiet since. It's not that he doesn't care about Niken's words. He feels very offended. His golden eyes continued to stare at Niken sharply. Doctors Chandra and Alan realized that.
'If what looks at Niken like that is me or Sunil, Niken must have become dust' Alan thought.
"A, forget. Don't keep it in your heart." Alan sent a transmission message.
But Dean was emotional. He replied to Alan's message directly.
"But Yoshi is indeed my nephew. She's Bi's only daughter. How dare he accuse Yoshi recklessly!" Shouted Dean annoyedly towards Alan.
Everyone was shocked to see Dean suddenly getting angry at Alan. Their seats are far apart.
"A, I sent you a transmission message to calm down. Why are you adding to the commotion by yelling here? Ahh, I who intend to be good is just being homed in. It's up to you!"
Alan left the dining table, headed for the room.
"Marianne, please bring Sunil some food, let me feed him. I can get emotional if I keep sitting there." Grouser Alan.
Marianne immediately got up to Alan's request.
Everyone at the table now turned their eyes to Dean.
But it seems Dean's emotions have not subsided. His eyes still glowed golden. Doctor Chandra realized that. He remembered the message of the Witch clan elder.
'Are they members? Later I have to find out, ' said Dr. Chandra in his heart.
"Yoshi is my sister's daughter. You can believe it or not, it's none of our business. But never point at him as you please. You're worried we could understand. This is the first and last warning. Once again you hurt my family, you can leave this place!" Dean said coldly.
"Dee!"
Everyone was shocked to hear the words Dean uttered.
"Nastiti, please feed Cloudy. Dean, come with me!" Widuri looked at Dean sharply.
"Uncle, aunt, don't fight because of me, okay? I'm just going home."
Yoshi got up and immediately floated away. His body is sending light. Dean looked at him sadly. He realized Yoshi was suppressing his emotions at the moment. That was why his body was giving off a tinge of light. Her wings might be visible if she doesn't leave soon.
"You've hurt him!"
Dean still threw his anger at Niken before following the pull of Widuri's hand. They're headed for the new room Dean made this afternoon.
Widuri looked into Dean's eyes which were still glowing golden. He knows A still has Dean.
"A, give me my Dean back!" Said Widuri sharply. Both of Widuri's palms clutched Dean's face.
Slowly the golden light dimmed. Dean is back. He looked at Widuri with thousand-eyed questions.
"You can hug me if you feel your emotions are out of control" whispered Widuri gently as she hugged Dean.
Dean grabbed the tiny body in his arms. Listening to him Widuri's voice can calm the turmoil of his heart. 'This woman is the medicine of my heart' Dean's inner self is convinced.
"Married to me. We can stay apart from them." Dean again expressed his heart.
Widuri giggled amusedly. "Today afternoon Yoshi proposed to me for you. Tonight you proposed to me again. You are not giving up! How do I refuse you again?" Widuri's spoiled voice crippled Dean's defenses.
They went through that night full of love. Just the two of them, in their own room. Throw out all the emotions that just felt stifling.
