↳ Day Vestival #4

The two of them went together following Nia from behind, she continued walking and finally stopped after passing through some tents there. William looked at his tent and he saw that it was like selling fish, so he approached it and asked for the price. The tentkeeper said that the fish was a gift and not for sale, so he had to play there first.

After talking he paid for it and started playing, the game is quite difficult for many people because it catches fish with paper nets that have been provided. William tries it and before catching it he searches for his first fish that can be caught easily, after finding himself finding a fish that he thinks he can catch easily. He tried it and once he got the fish, he just put it into the bucket that has been provided.

But the paper net he uses is no longer usable, but he still has two nets left because the player is given three nets. Now that he was looking for another fish that was easy to catch again, William found it again and began to install the position to catch the fish. He swung his net and once again the fish was caught, he quickly put the fish into his bucket.

“You often play games like this?”

“Iya, I used to take my parents to Vestival.. But every time I tried it I always failed, my father succeeded and got the fish.. I tried over and over again the results remained the same, but the fish we caught we brought home.. As long as my father was at home I asked him for help on how to catch his fish easily, and he taught me.. It took me a long time and I finally understood how, every time I went to Vestival I always brought fish home.. Because too many fish in my father's house bought me an aquarium to hold the fish I caught.. Fortunately the fish is the same type, mother to scold me because the fish is too much.”

“... Sorry, I asked you that.”

“It's okay.. Nia the fish want to be brought home?”

“It looks like Lia's sister won't let me, what about Melody's sister?”

“I don't seem to know how to take care of him.”

“Then I take it home.”

Now there is one more net left, William wants to play again but he gave his last net to Nia. He whispered how and Nia immediately tried it, Nia looked for a fish that was contained by him and after a long time looking for him to see it. Nia tried to catch the fish but failed and the net was immediately damaged, after which William got two fish catches as a gift to play the game.

Nia smiled looking at the fish she was carrying now, after which she invited them around again. Every tent they passed and stopped to look, there were some tents that were still crowded including tents that gave dolls for gifts. William saw Nia's eyes looking at a doll there, he told Nia if she wanted to play too. They wait for their turn to come because there are still many people who want to play as well, after some people finish finally the turn.

William paid for it and he got five shots, he had to drop five targets to get his reward. It may be too difficult because usually the players get seven to ten shots, but because this campus so have different rules. He thought that those who set up tents could not spend so much money just giving their own rules, he tried and one target fell. William tried again and the five targets fell all over, everyone cheering him on.

Because of the win he points to a doll that is plastered as his prize, after getting the prize William gave it to Nia. Nia was immediately happy after receiving the doll, because the clock had shown seven o'clock night they returned to where Uncle Willy and his mother Melody were. They get there and Willy's uncle is chatting with Melody's mother, Nia running towards them and showing him the teddy bear.

“Wah teddy bear, did Nia buy it?”

“No, this is a gift from brother William for winning the game earlier.”

“You didn't spend the prize, did you William?”

“No uncle, just relax.. They are still students here, so it is impossible to buy many gifts.”

“Oh nak Melody don't know? William as a child to Vestival when he came home always brought gifts from there to his home, he always brought whether it was fish or other items.. And mostly he gave it to his uncle's son, he used to even bring home twelve dolls from one tent at Vestival.”.

“You can do anything huh?”

“What? You want to learn.. Oh yeah, how's your Uncle Windy? Haven't seen it in a long time.”

“He's still in college out of town, already willing to graduate.. He said when he graduated he would come home, he missed you too.”.

They talked together about William's childhood, did not feel it was eight o'clock and soon the closing event will begin. The Vestival organizers began to walk around shouting that the fireworks would be lit soon, but because there was no place then the visitors could only see it from the main street of the campus.

After waiting for the fireworks to start, one by one began to rise and decorate the night sky at the place. They enjoyed the atmosphere there and after that the visitors began to go home one by one because the show was finished, William and others also came home. Uncle Willy drove them home and boarded his car, arriving at William's house. He and Nia get out of the car, while Willy's uncle will drive Melody and her mother home.

“Uncle will take Melody and her mother home.. You guys just go in and rest, Nia also don't sleep at night.”.

“Good uncle.”

“Dear of uncle and send greetings to aunt.”

“Then then yes William.”

“Iya Melody.”

Uncle Willy left and after William and Nia entered the house, Nia still hugged her doll. Meanwhile he put his catch in a jar because William currently does not have a decent place for his fish, he put the fish and after that told Nia to wash his feet.

Fortunately they had dinner at the event, after which they played together with the board games that William had at his house. They played until late at night, Nia had already started getting sleepy and she told him to sleep in her room. Nia wanted to sleep with him but there was still some business she had to do.

“Let me sleep here.. There's still business, Nia sleep first.. In the meantime let her doll accompany Nia."

“Good brother, good night.”

“Night Nia..”

After that William came out of his room and went to the dining table, he checked his phone reading the message he got that day. He replies to everything and after that checks his work, he does his job but because it is night he cannot finish it. He hung up his phone and went back to his room to sleep, he slept next to Nia who was still fast asleep.
