"It looks like my body is so good because it often goes up and down the mountain" Jay murmured.
"You don't remember, Win? Before you were addicted to games, you used to go around these mountains. Because of what happened at that time you changed a lot and just locked yourself in the room."
"What incident?"
Elisha said after a long pause, "Forget what I just said. Sorry for discussing that matter again."
"No ... I want to discuss that!"
"don't want. You'll be mad at me again."
"I won't be angry. Promise!"
Despite whining like a big baby, Elisha remained silent. While arguing about 'the incident' they arrived at a small village.
That's right Jay's guess. The village had only a few houses far apart from each other. Some of the street lights went off and some flickered. Suddenly Jay shakes.
'Don't the woman next door take me to a strange place. After waking up, all the houses disappeared and I ended up in ..."
"Winardi!!" exclaimed a beautiful middle-aged woman.
'Who, Sis?'
[Magdalene, mother of the owner of the body, age 54.]
"Momuuu," cried Jay while hugging Magdalene. "I miss mom!"
"How are you, Win?" Magdalene shed tears.
"Good, Mother. Come on, come on in, Mom. Don't get the night wind. It'll hurt."
Magdalene wiped her tears. He frowned in astonishment.
"Why do you call me mom?"
'Then what should I call?'
"Ah, I ..."
"Hurry to the house first." Magdalene interjected and did not need an answer. "Elisa wants to stop by too?"
"No, Aunt. It's night. Elisha will come here tomorrow."
"Send first, Win." Magdalena pushed Jay's back.
"No need, Win. Just close too. Come, Aunt, Win."
This time Jay did not play. Hugging Magdalene, her chest thumped as if she were meeting her own mother.
Jay felt a feeling he hadn't remembered for a long time. Jay Wijaya's mother has been gone for years. Therefore, Jay was silent a thousand languages. Something tickled the recesses of his heart.
As he steps into the house, Jay prepares to face Winarno, Winardi's father. Maybe because he was used to facing Wijaya who educated him very hard, he automatically lowered his head half afraid. Winarno was not his own father.
"Win!" call Winarno.
Jay was stunned by the tear stubs that began to flow from Winarno's eyes. The man, half-hair covered in gray hair, limped and hugged Jay.
He doesn't know what to do. All ages, Wijaya never behaved like Winarno. Wijaya does not even like to see his own son cry over the departure of his mother.
"Win" said Winarno.
Winarno massaging Jay's arm. Turning Jay's body to the right and to the left as if to make sure there are not the slightest blisters on his child's body. After being satisfied to see Jay doing well, Winarno patted Jay on the shoulder.
"The son of Papah is now an adult. I'm proud of you, son. What about your work? You're never late for a meal, are you? You haven't called in a month, papah thinks you're okay."
"Sorry."
That's the word that came out of Jay's mouth. Tell me what else Jay is confused. The atmosphere in Winardi's house was very unusual for him.
"Mamak prepare dinner first, yeah. You take a shower, talk about it later after you eat" Magdalena said.
[Congratulations, your mission has been successfully completed! Reward Rp 50,000,000.00 has been added to your account.]

Jay's gaze glared at the faded white painted ceiling. He was enjoying the warmth in his chest while daydreaming.
Winardi's parents treated Jay so humanely, unlike Wijaya. Although the age of the owner of the body is the same as his age, the two parents did not hesitate to show affection and pamper him.
Jay just shut up. Rather than being awkward and increasingly feeling strange, he pretended to be asleep.
However, Winarno instead opened the door of the room. Magdalene hugged two pillows and a thick blanket. The two of them then sleep pinching Jay in a fairly large bed.
Although Winardi's mattress is not classy and makes his back in pain, Jay is happy to be able to feel the affection of Winardi's parents. He felt like a kid again. Until finally, Jay slept with a sincere smile on his lips.
The smile that Jay Wijaya never showed after his mother's death. In fact, Jay was not that smooth as he smiled in front of Melinda.
***
Early in the morning, Magdalena and Winarno had left Winardi's room. When he opened his eyes, Jay suddenly looked for the figure of his parents. He got up and went around the house. But Winardi's parents were nowhere.
Jay finds a piece of paper on the dining table that says Magdalena is driving Winarno to the village shaman. Magdalena has prepared a full breakfast for Jay. He finished the food and went to take a shower.
Magdalena and Winarno return home just as Jay exits the room in Winardi's simple, tacky outfit. He saw Winarno limping worse than last night.
"What pain is it, Mom?" ask Jay.
Jay was a little embarrassed to call the two strangers with a familiar greeting.
"Two days ago, papah fell near the rice fields. The same shaman has been massaged but has not been healed until now" explained Magdalena.
"Patience, Mother. Time is healed immediately. There's all the process. Just enjoy it and do not like to rush," said Winarno.
"Maybe someone cracked her leg, Pah. Shouldn't even be massaged."
Despite insisting on not calling the doctor and believing the village shaman, Jay still called his acquaintances at the hospital. Jay pretended to be himself and told the hospital to come with complete equipment and the best doctors.
"Anyways, Papah should be checked by a doctor! If you don't want to, I'm back in town now!" jay is really worried.
"Yes, yeah, now you help mamak to the rice field first, huh?"
"What do you do to the rice fields?"
"Main hide and seek, Win!" kekeh Winarno's.
[New mission. Help the mother of the owner of the body work in the rice field. The prize is Rp 50,000,000.00 and will be doubled if the target is satisfied.]
'What is the 'fullness?'
[There will be a hologram screen on top of the target. Satisfaction rate from 0 to 10. You need to get 10 points of satisfaction to be able to get twice the prize.]
As the system said, a greenish light began to flicker over Magdalene's head. There is also a needle under the numbers.
"Come, go, Win," take Magdalena.
Magdalena kissed the back of Winarno's palm. The two of them left for the rice field after saying goodbye.
"Win! You forgot something." Winarno stuck out a hand. "The salute first."
'This is overkill, Sis.'
Despite grumbling in his heart, Jay still did it. He's a little amused and embarrassed himself.
"Later if the doctor from the city comes, Papah don't refuse to be examined!" threatening Jay.
"Yes, yes, take it for granted."

How many times Jay jumped in shock, he could not count it. Every time a boneless beast appeared under his feet, Jay shouted to Magdalene.
"Ohiiiyy!!! Is this a punishment for me?"
A few worms wriggled on the muddy ground. Currently, Jay is immersing both feet to the knees in the rice fields owned by the Winardi family.
"What the hell are you doing, Win? Quickly enter the seedlings. When we're done, we go to the garden to harvest fruits."
Jay finally closed his eyes and moved quickly to end. But in fact, all can not be finished easily.
Jay slipped several times so that all the cloth attached to Winardi's athletic body was filled with mud. He tightened his mouth tightly. So as not to vomit because of the smell of soil that may have been mixed with manure. Or it could be a natural fertilizer from someone.
"Faster, Win!" magdalena's orders.
Before Jay moves in following Magdalena's actions, Jay's eyes are wide open. He shouted so loudly that it attracted everyone's attention.
What makes Jay Wijaya so scared?
