Fantastic Earth (The Journey)

JAMES'S HOUSE

It's been two days that James hasn't seen his nose stick in school, James's news is feverish, her body is swollen due to itching caused by several caterpillars in her hold directly without safety at Akira's house yesterday,

His dermis layer of skin was inflamed, large bumps that felt itchy and hot filled his body, while his grandfather had already tried to inject some antidote, but failed, the potion he made was never suitable.

Whether in fact the university graduates where James' grandfather, James never saw some awards or medals attached to the walls of their homes, James, then why is it that grandfather is still struggling with the herb that is not clear, do not make a discovery, to avoid the explosion in the test tube, grandfather is very amateur, and so on, many times his whiskers and eyebrows were charred in flames, becoming victims of his experiments.

" James, let's eat!" said the old man with half-bald hair who had been dominated by gray hair.

The old grandfather thrust out a plate filled with toast that was slightly blackish in color, in raw Indonesian, it was called gosong.

" no cake!" James clenched his hands over his stomach, turning his face toward the window of his slightly dark room.

" you know, why? You eat it with pleasure!" the grandfather was astonished by James' changing attitude, in a matter of days.

" I want Mom's cooking!" James still put on a jutek face, Grandpa Edward was surprised by James's very sudden statement.

he was so confused what to answer? the grandfather paced back and forth and came to look at his head which was actually not looking for anything, occasionally he stuck his index finger to his forehead making an expression like a thinking person.

" mother? Where's mom?" he instead acted like a clown, to distract James, several times he ducked his body looking down under the bed, then he opened the drawer and whatever it was that could be opened to look for Mom.

James was still unmoved, his pouting face had not disappeared at all, in addition to him having to look at the scorched bread that was before him, almost every day, he could only eat Edward's sandwiches which he said were baked lovingly.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of the door on the knock, Edward felt very relieved, his end of torture ended with a knock on the door. He could at least see James pouting like that, what else to ask a question that was completely unanswered.

" James, you're home, right?" shouted a little girl, James who heard the voice, immediately jumped from the top of his mattress, his face that was originally pouting, turned bright instantly, instantly, Edward who was about to open the door walked slowly in front of James, his body was old at eating age, his body was no longer young, but Edward's spirit to care for and raise James, he said, it's the same as it was when I was young. James, impatiently waiting for Edward to walk his back, soon overtook his grandfather with a half-run.

" yes, I'm home!" james shouted, then he opened the door of his house to Akira.

" James, why don't you go to school?" akira shouted, he was very worried about James's condition, his eyes were fixed all over James' body filled with a circle of raised circles that were slightly reddish.

" for tirex!" james said, Akira laughed to see James's face that looked swollen, because so much of his rash a large inflamed rash over his skin.

" if your face is swollen, the funnier James is!" he said while continuing to laugh.

" uh, there's a guest, it's worth James you run around like that, the guest is pretty like an angel!" said Edward from a distance, his old legs, trembling when down the stairs, lucky there is a handle for the hands of the stairs that help him not to slip and fall.

" good afternoon cake!" greet Akira with his typical smile.

" good afternoon too, come sit down son!" Edward gets a glass of water for Akira.

" existed by by Mother's cake!" Akira put the box parcel on the guest table.

Edward walked to the table with a glass of water for Kira.

" it's okay cake!" said Akira,

Edward opened a parcel containing a lot of food that was processed from the hands of Akira's own mother.

James who saw the delicious food before him felt impatient to immediately taste the cuisine made by Akira's mother is very delicious.

Edwar again stood up taking some plates and Spoons for their lunch together.

" what's your name, son?" ask Edward to Akira.

" Daughter of Akira kek, people call me Akira.!" answer it straightforwardly.

" what a beauty your name, you deserve to be like a princess!" said Edward who brought some furniture for food.

James, whose stomach was rumbling, could not wait to draw a somay containing minced meat on a tray that had been prepared by his grandfather, complete with his chopsticks.

" fhu fhu!" with the pain, his small mouth breathed out hot smoke coming out of the somay, his tongue seemed to burn.

"hot!" say it, her,

" it's still hot James, mama just picked it up from a steamer!" Akira took one somay as well, then blew his niup to cool down quickly.

" this!" he gave the somay he blew to James.

" thank you Akira!" she smiled looking at her best friend, her narrowed eyes were attracted by her lips which formed a smile.

Akira returned that smile.

" mom's food is always good, huh?" said James who rejoices to be able to eat again the food made by a mother. Edward who saw his grandson smiling happily, in his heart felt a deep sadness, his heart felt torn to shreds by reality, could not be denied again, James was born without a mother or a father on his side, what else he could not give the best for James, his ability is also limited in cooking food, and his ability to cook food, his time was only dedicated to James' survival, through his concoction potion.

" you're done eating, right?" said Edward whose eyes glazed glass, while cleaning the leftovers on the table with his hands that slightly tremble the effects of his age that has been old.

" it's cake, let me just clean it up!" Akira pick up dishes and dirty glasses that they used up earlier, this girl is good at doing household chores, she is used to helping her mother some houses.

" thank you Akira!" Edward patted Akira on the shoulder, and prepared to leave them in the room.

" same cake!" the cheerful girl always smiled kindly to anyone she interacted with, James helped Akira some leftover food at the table, Edward was very happy to see the scene, he said, he did not expect, James who used to always be moody and sad, now can find a friend as good as Akira, who always gives positive energy to James.

During this time Edward had indeed locked James inside his house, he had his own reasons for not letting James out of the house all this time, he kept it a secret from James, to avoid something bad happening to him, but James always means different, he felt, Edward's actions locked him up all this time was a crime.
