"How was your day Riel?" Kayra threw a glance demanding Dariel's honest answer. Dariel nodded slowly. He got up and sat on the side of the bed to look at Kayra.
"A hard day. He was busy helping to install the pump. In the afternoon on the way home there was a group of indigenous tribes inland blocked our journey. One of the men caught me and doused me with liquid mixed with blood. Makes me weak not to teleport. I was taken to their place with my eyes covered in black cloth. I was taken to a village with a very powerful mystical aura." Dariel stopped for a moment taking a heavy breath.
"Many strange things I felt there. I found that none of them had a shadow. Even if there was a very bright moonlight, their shadows were invisible. Which makes me not understand there's no memory at all in their heads. They are not like the other Asmat tribes. If you look at the costume or the exact same appearance." Dariel set his sights on the empty spot, like trying to see through a wall. He repeatedly took a deep breath as if trying to remove the blockage in his lungs. Kayra who saw him felt pity. He clasped Dariel's trembling fingers.
"Riel. Just rest! It was early morning too." Kayra tried to calm Dariel down.
"Ra. let me tell you everything. Maybe by sharing I can feel relieved...?" Dariel looked at Kayra's eyes pleading.
"OKs... Just putting up so you don't get tired." Kayra inched to lie down and covered her body with a blanket to give Dariel a place. Dariel obeyed Kayra and laid her body beside Kayra. Dariel tilted his body to look at Kayra.
"Ra. there I was put in a cage with dozens of people."
Kayra surprised. "Where are they Riel..? Are they human or...?" kayra's question hangs, not knowing the proper terms to define the strange people Dariel is telling.
"They're ordinary people, they have a shadow. But they have no memory. It's like they're losing their memory. Even their behavior is very strange. Like a statue, looking blankly ahead but still breathing from their noses."
Dariel tried to remember the faces of the people held captive with him in a cage.
"Riel.... You don't papa, do you?" Kayra touched Dariel's arm. He began to worry because many times Dariel took a deep breath also often seen Dariel daydreaming with an empty view.
"Just this time, Ra. I was really scared." Kayra approached and hugged Dariel's waist.
"Riel. Now we're together again. There's nothing to be afraid of, right?" Kayra's words appeased Dariel, and Kayra's soft perfume hypnotized her. Making Dariel feel comfortable so that he could not refuse the dream crib that drove him to sleep. Kayra fell asleep in Dariel's arms.
The sun was rising when Kayra woke up from her sleep. The mountain air is still quite cold. Kayra immediately got up and opened all the curtains. His eyes were blown away at the sight behind the clear glass in front of him. The green hill stretches out to make the heart feel peaceful. Kayra was sedated by the natural charm around her, making her reluctant to blink her eyes for even a second. Never seen the view of this beautiful hill. Up to his khusukan enjoy the natural beauty of the knock on the door. Kayra rushed to open her intuition. A middle-aged woman stood waiting.
"Non Kayra when did he come?"
"Last night, sorry who's mom?" Kayra asked astonished how the foreign woman in front of her could know her name.
"Oh... I'm Sumi's bik, Tuan Dariel's villa keeper. I'm just making sure if-if there's anything Miss and Young Master need?" Ask bik Sumi.
"Bik... Dariel's still asleep. We'll let you know if there's anything we need. Sumi's bik didn't come in first?" Kayra said kindly.
the family. In the afternoon I was able to clean my house. Then excuse me, non." Bik Sumi stepped away. Kayra was just staring at Sumi's departure. Until he did not notice, Dariel walked over and immediately hugged his waist.
"Riel.. ngagetin!"
"Bik Sumi huh.... who just came?"
"Yes, Riel how does he know my name?"
"Hehehe Bik Sumi you are my wife. So that there is no trouble in the management of purchases. I asked Sumi and her husband for help. I purposely made excuses for getting married young, all of it to anticipate that we could freely stay in this villa." Dariel's reasons are unacceptable Kayra. Kayra poked her lips.
"Will you make a lie like this?" Kayra showed her dislike.
"Sorry love, I don't know if this will disappoint you. Ra.. I think we better get married soon." Dariel tightened his embrace and placed his lips on Kayra's nape. Instantly made Kayra shudder with foresight. Kayra broke away from Dariel's embrace.
"Riel. We are committed to waiting for the right moment. At least five or six more years when we have graduated from college and reached our goals. If we get married young, how will our future be?" Kayra vented all her emotions.
"Ra. You must also realize that our relationship will not be easy. With our circumstances being different from normal people, that would be the biggest obstacle to our relationship. Last night's events further confirmed my intention to quickly marry you."
"Tell Riel... Is there anything you haven't told me about your abduction?" Kayra demanded Dariel's honest answer.
"All right I'll say. But please Ra. think. What exactly are we trying to achieve? Right, if we graduate college we get the job we dream of. After it gets the money, what then?" Dariel deliberately gave time for Kayra to reflect. Then Dariel continued his words.
"We get married, have children and get back to our busy lives? Is that all we can achieve? While the process we experience is not a day two days but many years. Frankly, Ra... I can't possibly wait with you that long?"
"Riel.... We are too young to get married what if our marriage fails? Aren't many artists getting married young and eventually divorced too?"
Kayra could not have refused Dariel's request to marry him immediately but she was still overshadowed by fear. The only effort that can be done is to try to give understanding to Dariel. But it doesn't seem easy. It broke Kayra's spirit. He set foot on Dariel. He felt his stomach start to get hungry. How to talk about the future on an empty stomach.
Kayra walks into the kitchen, checking that there may be groceries in the fridge that she can process for stomach ulcers.
"Re.... !!! " Darel shouted trying to stop Kayra's steps.
