A Life From AI

With Night

Raindrops appear to still fall and as if enveloping the darkness of the night. The father turned back to Afra. His face immediately seemed to be beginning to return in fear. He also immediately stroked his son's face. Afra smiled after her father stroked her.

"Dad will accompany you tonight huh, dear Afra."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning sun began to rise, and the water that came down had stopped and left its marks along with the morning dew. The two mixed together and became one. While the wet forest trees are illuminated by the bright morning sunlight. There will always be encouragement after a lot of times that were never wanted.

Afra finally woke up after falling asleep from fear. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at the ceiling of his room. Slowly, he turned his head towards the window. However, his gaze stopped when he saw the father who was asleep on the floor and rested his head on the mattress without hitting his body.

"A–Dad?" afra said surprised to see her father who slept in that sitting position. The father awoke to hear Afra's voice.

"Good morning, dear Afra," the father said with a smile on his son. Afra was still wide-eyed and in disbelief after realizing that her father had been with her all night.

"A–what's dad sleeping here all night?" asked Afra curiously and still in disbelief. The father kept silent and kept smiling at Afra's words.

"You slept well, Afra," said the father gently as he rubbed Afra's face still wide open.

"I-iya," said Afra still not believe. The father wakes up and smiles again at Afra.

"Father will cook you a meal, yes" said the father before he finally went out of Afra's room. Afra saw her father come out still with wide-eyed eyes. He still doesn't believe.

"Dad ...," said Afra Lirih, "thank you."

It's a bright morning. Remnants of heavy rain last night did make the morning atmosphere more different. The smell of soil and trees, as well as the cold morning air. Everything feels more natural.

Now, Afra is still at home, more precisely in the living room. He finished eating the food his father had made and changed his clothes. However, Afra did not want to go out of the house yet. He still wanted to ask his father something.

The father is now in the living room with Afra. He sat opposite Afra. The atmosphere between the two of them was silent. Afra just kept quiet while bowing her head and staring at the table, while the father was drinking his drink slowly.

"Dad! I want to ask you something!" afra broke the silence. The father put down his drinking cup.

"Yes, Afra wants to ask what?" replied the father with a smile. Afra went back to silence and lowered her head. She was hesitant and did not know if her father would answer her question.

"Ask it, Afra. Don't be shy" said the father, stroking Afra's head gently.

Afra looked directly at the father, then quickly shook his head, "no, Dad! I think I'll ask you later."

Afra woke up and smiled at her father, "Afra go out first, Dad!"

The father responded with a nod and smiled, and Afra went out of the house.

Now, with the rainy night falling, and the morning left its natural aura. Maybe yesterday was not a good day, but now is a really good day. Yes, Afra is quite happy— no, maybe not enough, but really happy. Afra could not have expected that after she walked on the slightly wet ground with rainwater, she saw the trees that began to show flowers. There are also flowers that grow under the trees.

Afra went straight to the flowers and picked some. Afra smiled happily.

"I'll take these flowers home!" said Afra happily.

***

It's a poem, a poem titled with a night. The night the world fell asleep. With the night of stars and the moon shining. By night things that cannot be accomplished by day will happen. With malam— ah, come.

That time went on, and now it was night. Afra was really happy today. Of course, he was already at home, and was staring out of the window of his room. Some of the flowers he picked were given to his father, and the rest he kept for himself in his room. Afra was still smiling happily as she looked out the window.

"Ah .. I'm really happy!" afra said while looking up at the night sky. Afra closed her eyes, then exhaled slowly. He opened his eyes and smiled.

I don't think I need to ask Dad! inner Afra.

Yes, with the night illuminated with a feeling of pleasure by Afra, he was finally able to sleep in peace. Yes, his days are starting to feel back to normal and not haunted by his strange thoughts. By tonight, his life is back, it seems.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time, destiny, and night. These are the three keywords that are part, purpose, and the thing that should happen here.

Time has passed so fast. Yeah, so fast. And it's been two years since Afra has had the pleasure and has not. Yes, the strange dreams that used to haunt him as well as those strange sounds had already disappeared from his mind and life. Really never to be seen again.

The days were gone, and all those days were tinged with all sorts of pleasures and joys from Afra. And it's been two years, which means Afra's age is ten now. However, sometimes destiny often comes and starts the action to change the things you want.

"Dad! Good morning— uh, Dad? Where're you?"

Hihahi

"Who is that?"

Crang

Wush

"Aah!"

Hihahi

"What'sthis? What is this place?"

Tap tap tap

"Dad! What is—"

Hihahi

"It's been a long time, Afra Afifah!"

"Aah!" afra cried out instantly as she woke up from her sleep.

"What ... is that?" afra said as she tried to catch her breath, "what ...is a dream?"

Akh

All of a sudden, his chest felt tight and his heart was beating so fast. Afra felt her blood flow moving rapidly and swirling around in her body. It made her feel a pain that was really painful.

"What ... is this? What ... happened to me?" inner Afra while trying to endure the pain.

The pain he had not felt for a long time after those two years.

-------------------------------

The strange dream is beginning to return. After two years Afra gets pleasure, and her dreams begin to return.
