Ken scratched his non-itchy head. He did not have much money but he now had a gold coin. Gold coins should be worth more than paper money and he not only has a lot but a lot. The cribs that are now stored in that hand. Gold coins! "Then what should I do with the money?" tanyakanya.
The girl was silent. "When you didn't have money, you wanted what if you had money?"
Ken started thinking while touching his chin. He remembers a time when he was in an orphanage. When he graduated High School, he envied his friends who could continue to school up to the University. "I want to go to medical school."
"What?" Mira was astonished to hear the man's answer. "Lecture?"
"Yes, I want to go to college like my other friends. I want to be a doctor."
"But, Brother. Well, medical school is expensive, but that's not what I mean. Don't you want to buy a house or buy a fancy car, do you?"
"With my current situation? No way, Mira. Even medical school is difficult, because all of it needs people who live in one place for a long time, and I, too, still skipping dimensions and less possibility to be able to return to where it was."
"Mmh, but if you study, you should learn martial arts because it's the most useful now."
Ken looked at Mira. "Actually if I could choose, I wouldn't want to learn martial arts because I would rather live in peace without having to fight with others."
"But can't, can you? Come, Brother. Studying. Cool you know, if you can learn martial arts."
Ken rubbed the head off Mira. "Cool huh? Sorry, but I don't like living for the cool."
Mira scowls. "Yes, Brother ...."
They then came back out of the hole by swimming. After that, they returned to the ship. On the way, they saw someone they knew.
"Mother?"
"Mamy." Mira running towards the woman made Ken surprised.
Mommy's? Mira called my mom, Mami?
Dewi Sri greeted the girl by rubbing her head. The girl hugged the woman from the side.
"Mother, why did Mira call you 'Mami'?"
"Oh, she from childhood has called me 'Mami'. Mira no longer has a mother from childhood."
Ken's surprised. "Where do you know?"
"It's Mom's friend."
"Oh, means he's a god's son too?"
"Of course, Ken. Otherwise, how could he possibly move dimensions looking for you."
"Oh, yes." Ken realized.
"Even a man wants to be like you, but he has to drink your blood first so it can be real."
"Ooh ...." The man shook his hands while pointing. "Lucille!"
"Woman's a witch, Ken. A magician can create illusions but he is human. He can't be a god except drink his blood."
"Had he hurt me and drank my blood." The man began to understand.
"Come, Ken. We're back on the ship. I'll cook for you both. It's lunchtime soon."
"Yes, Mom." Ken equalled his mother's move.
"This is why you two get wet anyway?"
Ken and Mira looked at each other and laughed.
-----------+++------------
The three of them ate together in Ken's room.
"Now what should I do, ma'am. Why haven't I moved in yet?" ask Ken to his mother.
"Maybe waiting for you to be found."
"Well, it's been a while, sure."
"And there's a lot of groceries in the kitchen, I see."
"But what if the food runs out and we're still undiscovered?"
"Yes?" Ken's surprised.
"So the possibility of a ship or plane passing by, there, it's just that you're drawing their attention to see where you are here."
"But people will see there is a large Japanese naval ship here. They see this will stop."
"Not if it's a plane, Ken. What if they're through here but above the clouds. Automatically they can't see what's underneath except for the ocean liner. The problem here is often skipped by airplanes and a few ships." The goddess bribed her nasi.
Ken scratched his head. "It's complicated anyway? Why don't I go with Mom, 'cause the problem's over?"
The goddess patted her son's shoulder. "Mom wants everything to be easy for you, but she can't. I can't change your destiny, son. If you break it, everything will be messed up. Not only mom, you also can't meet Mira and your friend Yumi. Never mind, just be patient. As long as you're around, I'll help you."
The man scowled while sighing softly.
"You've got to learn to work things out on your own, Ken. Not spoiled because there is help. The help you get now will one day be gone. Either a short-lived mother or Mira who married someone else but now we are there for you. Try to be a man who can do everything on his own. Man, who your wife can count on later, so that when we're gone, you don't worry."
Ken glanced at the girl who was busy eating. The girl was surprised to find the man looking at her with an inexplicable look ....
"Ken, you heard me say, right?"
The man immediately lowered his head. "Listen, Mom."
After lunch, the Goddess said goodbye. "Remember, do everything for yourself with your own thoughts, don't rely on others. Mmhs? I'm sure you can."
"Yes, Mom."
----------+++---------
"Sister, um!" Mira washes dishes with a scowled face.
Ken beside her folded his hands on his chest while watching the girl wash the dishes. "The clean work. You can't count on anyone else."
"Sister, help dong!" The girl stomped her feet in annoyance.
"Aren't you going to get married one day?"
"That's still a long time Brother ..," he said while scowling.
"Lho, didn't he say you wanted to get married?"
"Who says, Sister ...." The girl was still stomping her feet.
"Mother that was."
The girl glanced at Ken with a frown. "Have a boyfriend, how do you want to get married?"
"lik! Must have a girlfriend, huh?"
"No, Brother."
"But why did I rush home yesterday, when I told you to wait."
"Ih, Brother. I really don't have a boyfriend. I was in a hurry because I wanted to learn martial arts with a sword like yesterday!"
Ken lowered his hand. "Don't really have a boyfriend?"
"Yet. 'Kan to help Brother, I'm forbidden to date."
Hearing Mira's remarks, Ken somehow felt relieved. He immediately took the dirty plate the girl was holding and washed it. "Here let me. You're it. Just a little laundry!"
Mira leaned against the man's back and placed her head beside Ken's shoulder with a smile. "Nice brother!"
Ken smiled happily.
------------+++----------
The two stared at the twilight sky sitting on the sand of the beach, but only Ken was thinking hard how to get off the island.
There was still a rubber boat but they could not use it because where they were, the man did not know. If the boat ride relies on the wind, not until when can find land. Take that ship? But in which direction he did not know. He did not know where the nearest land was. For days at sea without finding land. The thing is, the food is here. You I left ....
Uh! The man flicked his fingers to his feet from his seat. Why not just ask the dead body for help?
