That was Tama's life since she had no one else. It survives its solitude. He continues to enjoy his life even though he is always faced with various difficulties.
With the expanse of plants that thrive in the Bukit Peak area, Tama is very helpful. He went to the top of the hill every time to harvest his crops.
He never ate rice. It was just the yam that he ate every day. He did not eat meat, only fruits and vegetables that he got for free, from his father's hard-earned relics.
One day Tama felt very lonely. When night fell, he sat alone and pondered. He wanted to have a lot of friends to play with. But he can't do anything. He was afraid to meet bad people. Especially the one who killed his family. He also did not forget the face of the person who was chasing him, after killing his entire family.
After thinking of his loss, Tama undoes his intention to travel to a faraway place. For a time, Tama locked herself inside her secret house.
" I'm lonely.. Lord, give me a good friend to accompany me. I'm bored, nobody's talking to me. No one is making me laugh. I haven't seen anyone in a long time.
Until when I'll be like this. No TV, I can't watch cooking anymore. In the past, I always accompanied Mom and Rama to watch cooking shows on TV. My mom taught me to love cooking. But I can't cook yet. And also, where should I look for ingredients to cook. I don't have any money." Tama said to herself, while both hands, propping up her stye cheeks.
" Uncle Bono, Uncle Bara. Why should I avoid him. Why should I leave them. They must be all confused looking for me. Otherwise, they would have hated me because I kept leaving them. I'm sorry, Uncle. I don't know how to. I'm afraid that if I stay with you, I trouble you. I don't want any of that to happen.
I don't want to see you love your kids either. I don't want to envy and hate your children who still have families. While I was, all my family left me. Rama also left me. Now, I just live here alone. They told me I should be fine here. But I don't know if I'll be okay if I keep quiet in this place."
Various complaints in him he let out on that night. He speaks for himself, and he unceasingly speaks of what is in his mind.
The night is getting late, Tama is still sitting quietly on a used sofa, in her secret house. His eyes are hard to shut. He yawned many times, but he did not fall asleep. Loneliness that continues to approach his life makes him feel crowded, especially he must avoid bad people who ever want to kill him.
Until three in the morning, Tama was still awake. He remembered everything he experienced. He remembered all the memories of his family when he was alive. Morning activities with Mom and her sister, the sound of laughter of her brothers and sisters, and warm kisses from her father every will go to work. All of that is in Tama's brain. He kept remembering it. He does not want to forget those who have been in his life. Gradually, Tama felt tired thinking about everything. He fell asleep and lay on the sofa in a dimly lit room, with one lamp in the secret room that had been somewhat dim.
...----------------...
After a few minutes of sleep, Tama returned to dreaming. This time not to dream of his family, but the Hero who is in his dream.
" Tama, pound me. Did you forget this face?" said Wira while smiling and extending a hand to Tama.
" Uncle, you're Uncle.."
" Yes, Uncle.. I'm afraid I don't have any friends. I can't tell stories, I don't have any playmates. Do you know, I can't eat food like I cook. I'd love to eat Mom's cooking. But Mom's dead. I can't cook good food anymore."
" Hahaha.cooking your mother is delicious. Uncle just got hooked on eating your mom's cooking. Uncle misses him too."
" Uncle, did you meet my mother there? Please tell him I miss him. I want to meet him every time. I want to hear his voice every time."
Smiling, Wira said to Tama. " Uncle has not met them, maybe they have preceded Uncle going to Heaven. Someday if Uncle meets him, I'll pass on your feelings to him. You don't have to worry. They all love you. They must ask God that one day, you will be reunited with them. Most importantly, you have to do good. Don't be evil because you don't have an educator."
" I promise, Uncle. I'm gonna be a good boy. I don't want to be a criminal. Teach me to be a good boy. I don't know how to be a good boy."
" Tama.. You don't have to worry. No one is destined to be a criminal. The important thing is, you do what you think is good. Do you remember what good things your mother taught you? if you remember, you can do just that. Later when you grow up, you'll know for yourself. Which is good and which you think is bad.
Stay away from bad things, because it will destroy you. You won't be able to meet your family if you're affected by the vices, which will rule you."
" I'm a kid, my mom hasn't told me much good stuff."
" Learn the science out there. Then you'll get it. You'll make a lot of friends. They will try to influence you. If they're good, they'll make you good. But if they are the opposite person, then you will be the opposite person as well.
Remember Uncle's message. Uncle can't see you forever. This is the perfect time for Uncle to talk to you. Uncle doesn't know if tonight is the first and last night we met or not.
One message from Uncle that you must take care of. Take care of yourself and your heart from dirty and vengeful thoughts. Because it will ruin you. You're a plain kid. Still sacred. Eliminate the evil thoughts that are trying to get into you. When you are alone, try to be grateful. Your loneliness might be better for you. Don't you remember all the events that have happened, it will be very dangerous for you.
That's just the message Uncle wants to say to you. Uncle go first. There are still things that Uncle wants to do, before God takes me after your parents and brothers. Get up before the sun starts to rise. See you, Ponakanku."
" wait.. Uncle wait.."
Tama screams calling for the Hero in her dream. But the shadow of Wira kept away and disappeared from his shadow. Tama felt anxious until sweat poured profusely out all over his body. He also woke up because he felt his heart was very crowded left by his Uncle.
