“There's something I want to ask mom.”
Aonamenby towards Mother Japo.
“Close your eyes, it's night.”
Japo's mother replied quietly, while enveloping Aona. It seems like Japo's mom knows things
which Aona will ask. But this time, Mother Japo did not want to discuss it.
Aona's eyes were still glaring, whether the words of the man who was across from their boat this afternoon very disturbed his mind, he was like losing his spirit in his life, if what
the man was proved. Either who to believe the man's words or Japo's mother, who had lived with him for five years.
Mother brought her oil lamp closer, as usual Mother before going to bed read Al-qur’an,
although only illuminated by an oil lamp, while his hands were glazed over, his lips continued
blur. His breath continued to chant and a third of the night he washed
his limbs, wearing clothes that covered his entire body, until only
just look at his face.
His movements, standing, bowing, and prostrating. Aona just peeked out of her mustache blanket.
Several times Mother invited Aona, even Aona still ignored her
I chose to sleep under the blanket.
Seriate...
