ALPENIA (The Cruel Small Town)

Renaldi Wounds

Iswanti and Ulfa intercept Naya as she arrives at the door. They have the same mission. That is, awakening Naya, reminds her that their friend has a hidden privilege.

"Lo special, Nay!" Ulfa.

Naya just scrunched her forehead. He had just arrived, and was even being poked with such ambiguous words. "Thank you" he chanted with an awkward laugh.

Iswanti patted the forehead. "Lo remember when I told you about that black-robed man? It's the same case as Ulfa's ancestor said of lo!" he was trying to make Naya understand.

"meaning?" naya asked while turning her eyes to Ulfa.

"Jatiya said, we—lo the same I am family," Ulfa said.

Naya nodded in understanding. "Maybe it's because we're victorious, so it's considered like family?"

"It's not so! The story of a strange but meaningful dream that you once had," suggested Ulfa.

Naya finally took the conversation seriously. Ulfa's words just now seemed to be closely related to her strange dream a few days ago.

"Gue met my father in a strange world. I don't think it's on earth. I think dreams are strange but meaningful" explains Naya.

"Continue?" iswanti.

"We talked for a while, and then my palms let out light as my father held on. And not long after, he disappeared. That's all I remember" continued Naya.

"That's what you actually are. You are a man of light!" cetus Ulfa as good as jidat.

"What the hell? It was just a dream, anyway. Why are you taking it seriously?" singal Naya with laughter.

"Try to show your strength!" iswanti Pinta.

"You mean?" naya asked, not understanding.

"Let's see your hands!" Ulfa took Naya's hand into his. Seriously, he observed the palm of the hand.

Naya was even more laughing. He thought both his friends had lost their minds.

"Try on the axis to bring out the light, Nay! Push your energy from within!" ulfa's insistence is making no sense.

"What's being pushed? I'm not fucking around anymore, Ulfa!" Canda Naya is still chuckling.

Iswanti and Ulfa could only grieve, as Naya still considered them to be joking. Meanwhile, Naya immediately turned her attention to Renaldi who had just arrived in front of the classroom door. She did not leave with her best friend this morning. Renaldi himself asked him to go to school first.

The young man looked grimacing in the face. His elbows were plastered, because yesterday afternoon he fell off the bike while delivering pizza, until his elbows were abrasive.

With a feeling of worry, Naya immediately approached her best friend. "Why lo?" tanyanya while linking eyebrows.

"Fall off the bike" replied Renaldi casually. He did feel his elbow throbbing a little bit of pain, but that was no big deal.

Naya immediately hit Renaldi's shoulder. "Why? Just learned to ride a bike? Sampa falls like that?" the sarcophagus is still worried.

Renaldi smiles. Naya is his best friend. "Lo why, anyway? Even though I didn't help medicine, I just hit it like I did!" sela Renaldi responded to Naya's joke.

The girl rolled her eyes annoyed. "Here look at your elbow!"

"Wouldn't! I'll hit the kayak just now. It hurts!" reject Renaldi while hiding his hands behind his back.

Naya clucking. "Where is it possible? I just want to see!" He widened his eyes, so that his friend would obey his request.

The girl grimaced, looking at the white bandage from such a close distance. He could even see blood stains and a red medicinal mixture seeping in there.

"Can I hold it?" asked Naya innocently.

"Huh? Can't! Lo crazy! Sick later," Renaldi denied as soon as possible. He immediately pulled his left arm back to his back, for fear that Naya would instead work on him later.

Naya screeches. "Wouldn't. Just moment! I'm curious!"

Renaldi raised his eyebrows in astonishment. "What is the question? I just left my own lihqt. It's so weird" he said, ending in laughter.

Naya shook her head. He also did not understand the sudden intelligence in his mind. It was as if someone was pushing him from inside. Finally, he pulled Renaldi's arm forcefully.

Renaldi grimaced as he felt a little pain. However, the moment Naya touched the area of her wound, it was as if a miracle had happened. The pain just seemed to disappear.

Naya was still holding onto Renaldi's wound with her eyes staring focused in that direction. He felt a stream of energy moving from within him to Renaldi. And vice versa.

"What are you doing?" tanya Renaldi managed to make Naya squint her eyes. The girl seemed to be dissolved in her daydream for a moment just now, because she felt an oddity that she could not reveal.

"Huh?" said the wailing Naya.

"My me!" Renaldi immediately opened the bandage on his elbow roughly. Because suddenly, his hand did not feel the slightest pain. In fact, he felt very fresh.

"Did? Why are you opening?" asked Naya who was a little surprised and worried. He thinks Renaldi's arm is still injured. However, when his eyes looked at the mature brown skin that looked fine as usual, he could only taste, and could not say anything.

"What is this, Naya?" asked Renaldi who was a little scared, but amazed at the same time.

Ulfa and Iswanti who were watching, finally threw gazes at each other.

"No doubt about it. There's something inside you, Nay!" Ulfa.

"Lo just healed Rey's wounds. Tell me, Rey! You're not just pretending to wear bandages and get hurt, are you? Your story about falling off that bike isn't making it up either, is it?" Cerocos Iswanti to make sure that Renaldi is not playing a play to attract attention.

"No. Make what?" answer Renaldi honestly.

Naya still shook her head. He also looked at his two slightly trembling hands. Something impossible had just happened before him. And that made him very scared.

"Lo man the light that can heal people," ketus Ulfa again carelessly gave the nickname to Naya.

"But I'm a normal human being!" naya still does not accept.

"We don't even know what a normal definition really is. In this world, is there anything that can be said to be normal?" cetus Iswanti's.

"Iswanti's right. I'm a witch, she can see people who don't exist. And now, it's likely that you're a magical human of light. Who knows, Rey has powers too. Maybe he's a lizard man, "the long Ulfa cerocos.

"Huh?" said Renaldi after hearing his name of origin called by Ulfa. "What's so great about being a lizard man?"

Ulfa twitched a shoulder, "having the excess agility possible?"

Renaldi just shook his head. "Day! I guess, this is one of the key answers to the strange dream that you told me the same time."

Iswanti and Ulfa nodded their heads in agreement.

While Naya, she can only be silent in silence. Suddenly, he felt a sense of longing for his father greater than usual.
