ALL ABOUT REVENGE

Suffering and Loneliness CHAPTER 2

" Well, this is my favorite fruit. Uncle. whoever has this fruit, I beg you. I want to eat it. Just give me one. I'm so hungry." Tama said it herself.

After saying, Tama immediately took one banana and ate it.

" Ahh. This is delicious.. Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I have eaten food in the land of men. I'm hungry once, but I promise I'll only eat one" Tama said.

For an hour, the rain did not stop. The wind that blows strong enough to make banana leaves wobble. Tama's body was wet. Because when the banana leaves sway, the water easily drops down wetting right on Tama's tiny body.

" Hiiii.. I'm chilly. Why does this rain stop. I want to go home. I miss my fish." said Tama as she hugged her own body with her soft hands.

As the afternoon progressed, the rain began to subside. Tama was relieved. Finally, he can continue his journey to find new friends.

" Arable.the rain has stopped. I'll walk again. But I'm still hungry. I promised I would never eat that fruit again. Ah.. It's okay, hopefully there I will get more delicious food." said Tama comfort his heart.

In that silence, there appeared a tiny little boy who was limping towards somewhere. He doesn't know where he's going. The wilderness that enveloped him, as if a witness to the life of Tama who was dangling after his family was slaughtered.

" Have I walked far? Why don't I meet anyone. Fathering.. Mom, where can I find a friend? I'm hungry, who's gonna give me food? I miss you guys so much.. Come back.. Fathering.. Mother.. Older brother..

Ramah.. If you're alive, I'd love to be able to carry you wherever we go. Now I'm on my own. I don't have a friend to talk to." Tama complained after about three hundred meters he walked.

" god.. Do you really exist, as my mother said? My mother said, Are you most helpful? Are you going to help me? I'm tired of walking. I just want to meet my Dad and my mom" Tama said as she turned her head to the sky.

" How is this, why doesn't anyone ask me to talk. God, bring back my parents, my brother and my sister. I want to meet them and go back home."

Unceasingly Tama complained. He continued to lament himself. But there were no tears coming from his eyes. As if he had understood his fate. Now he knows, after the departure of his parents. He must be able to be independent as Rani had said, a few days before the massacre by Vijaya and his men.

After resting for a while, Tama resumed his journey. Sometimes he crawled to help lighten the weight of his legs, in supporting his body.

Before long, the air was cold again. A thin white mist began to envelop the area around the forest. Tama was scared. He stopped his steps.

" I want to go home.. I'm scared.." said Tama suddenly.

White fog and cold air that fell, is a sign of the coming rain. Tama has been able to interpret such natural conditions. He was terrified, but he had no choice but to continue on his journey. He was forced to step his feet that were very tired, on a slippery and muddy road in the forest area around Puncak Bukit.

At the junction, Tama found a small hut by the road made of tree branches laid out carelessly. Although the roof is only made of old clothes and plastic raincoats, it seems to be able to protect itself from heavy rain.

" It seems like it's going to be night. I'm afraid it's dark in here. Why haven't I found anyone yet? Am I just living alone?" luh Tama again while laying down his limp body, under a small hut where he was sheltering.

" Bad!!!" the sound of a loud explosion of lightning that struck the tallest coconut tree, exactly twenty meters from where Tama shelter.

" Aaaaaaaa....." Tama was shocked and cried loudly.

And the rain came down again. The loud sound of Tama's cry was unable to beat the sound of the rain around the forest.

Tama kept her ears shut. He then wrapped his body while crying.

Not just once, the lightning struck. But up to dozens of times a thunderous sound was heard by Tama's ears.

Actually Tama had felt a very intense fatigue. And the hunger that kept shaking his stomach made him unable to do anything.

Then he put his life to God and tried to close his eyes and pray when he opened his eyes again later, he had returned to his family at home.

Shortly after, Tama fell asleep. Although the worms in his stomach continued to force him to eat, the fatigue he felt was inevitable. Didn't wait long to fall asleep.

...----------------...

Two hours passed, and the rain stopped. But time has changed night. Tama had not flown out of her sleep. Suddenly came a man who was about forty years old, heading to the hut where Tama was shelter.

" Haa?? There's a tuyul kid sleeping in my house. Just leave it be, I won't bother him. My palace is huge after all. Hahaha." said the person who had lost his mind a year ago.

Although he was not a sane person, he still wore neat clothes. He likes cleanliness and neatness. The small hut he made was the magnificent palace he had built.

In that darkness, the madman devoured the food he had obtained from the begging in the stall he had come to. Because of too much, he could not spend his food alone. He then wrapped his food back then spread his body and fell asleep.

...----------------...

The morning has arrived. Tama tried to open her eyes which were very difficult for her to open. Her tears last night from crying, had dried up and made Tama's eyes like they were covered in glue.

He tried to rub his eyes with both hands, but instead made his eyes become sore. He was confused and then rubbed his eyes quickly.

In the end, after much effort, he tried. Her tears that dried and pierced into her eyes, peeling and falling. Tama was relieved. But one problem he faces now is the famine that hit him. Now Tama's body feels thinner. His stomach was flat and his lungs seemed to be visible from the outside.

His body seemed to shrink because some days he did not eat and drink. But his strong body was able to survive.

" I'm so hungry.. I want to eat and drink milk. God give me food and milk." Tama murmured in her heart.

He then tilted his body. He was surprised when someone beside him who was sleeping snored. He also remembered his father.

" father?Are you my father?" tama.

But the madman who slept beside Tama did not move in the least.

Tama tried to approach the person, then tried to wake him up. He really hopes that the person who sleeps next to him is his father.

Many times Tama shook the person's body, but there was no movement. The madman didn't speak a word either.

Tama took a long breath. He knew his body was weak. His effort to shake the body of the madman was very draining of his strength.

He returned to his tiny body beside the madman.
