I'M NOT A TUMBAL - White Cat

I got up from where I was standing when I saw Bi Tumi leaving as if frightened by something. I wonder what Bi Tumi saw from down there. But I'm still wondering where Klara is.

"Yahoo!!!"

"Klaraaaa down yuk.."

I called him a few times but got no answer. I decided to leave that place. Just one step I set foot on the stairs. I heard a voice from inside the building.

Grobyakk!!

Emm, what is it?! my inner. I was wondering if I would go back to the 3rd floor. I'm trying to figure out where that sound came from. I'm afraid Klara is hiding in a dangerous place.

"Klaraaa,,"

"Klaraaaa where the hell are you??!"

I started to panic when I couldn't find Klara. I'm afraid Klara's falling down there. I quickly went down the stairs. I have to get help. If anything happens to Klara. I can be blamed.

Tap tap tap tap!!

"Bagass Bag!!!! Oh Agggggg!!!!"

"Beck, Bukkkkk!!"

I screamed in panic. When I went downstairs. I was stunned when I saw them gathered in the living room. And there's Klara.

"That's how! If it comes down it mbok say!! I panicked and died!" I'm upset without fearing Klara.

"Opow to Ma'am?! Wong Klara from here" said Bu Ajeng casually.

"But that was Bu-"

"Wes wes, by now. You just take a break. In the afternoon, stay up."

"Jeh, Mum. Sorry,"

I feel confused. My heart is still beating. What exactly am I going through. Klara outrageous. He shouldn't have worked me like this. I feel bad for Mr. Bambang and Bu Ajeng. Bi Tumi must have complained to them.

......................

My head's dizzy, I couldn't sleep well last night. I don't know why, the incident the day after tomorrow continues to be imagined in my dreams. I'm really distracted.

When I'm done with my work. I was confused by Bi Tumi calling me. His gaze was still strange to me. I know, he doesn't like me. But what's my fault.

I walked over with a fierce gaze behind the almost bent old body. Bi Tumi's age is still 50han. But his body had started to bend like the old Mbah-Mbah who should have been weaning.

"Tri, here. Let's eat this. Klara's birthday today. We celebrate small," said Bu Ajeng.

I was surprised to see such a good and delicious meal. Incidentally, from the morning I had not eaten either. It's like a windfall for me.

I saw a cut tart. There are some traditional foods. And what makes my stomach cringe is the yellow rice tumpeng following with a large chicken shell. But I was surprised, I saw a hoop and some petals. My eyes cannot be separated from the difference that should not be there.

"Ohh, jeh." I answered hesitantly.

"Why just stand up?! Come here, grab the food. Take everything you want" said Mr. Bambang.

"Jeh, sir, suwun."

I was still standing still, other than feeling bad. I was also confused about what to take. All the food was delicious, wanted to taste everything.

I take my plate, my gaze can not be separated from the arrangement of food. I swallowed a few times. I can't wait for my tongue to chew on those foods.

I was shocked when Bu Ajeng grabbed my plate. He cut a chicken thigh and took the yellow rice and the side dish for me.

"It's eating, it's just kokungkan. In the end, take it again." said Bu Ajeng back to his seat.

"Suwun, Ma'am,"

I felt relieved, receiving food in my hands. My stomach was struggling as I smelled the smell of yellow rice that was piercing into my nose. It was so fragrant, my hunger seemed unstoppable. I saw a lump of meat on my plate. Red, fresh, thick, emm definitely savory and delicious.

I'm looking for an empty seat. I sat on a chair near the bird fence in the park. They celebrate this event at the bird park. It's just, why is it only the family in this house. Where are Klara's friends and neighbors.

I saw Bi Tumi standing at the end of the inner door. He did not enjoy any food. Bi Tumi looked wrong to see me. Why her?! Oh, never mind, he doesn't like me. It's natural that he looks at me like that.

I just took a dip in my plate. I was shocked when a cat fell into my lap.

Whoa!!!

"Gee!!"

"Nwong..."

A pure white Angora cat from which it falls. Without fear he ate the chicken on my plate. I looked up, watching where this cat was jumping from. There seems to be no spot or place for cats to roam. Where did this cat come from.

This expensive looking cat trampled on my food. I can't be angry, even if I'm actually upset. Cats even like this, if I drive out I can get angry. I gently rubbed the cat's fur. He ate my food. I swallowed my mouth a few times. Shit, I should have eaten that chicken.

I looked at the Great Mother. He looks so upset. I was interested when I saw the greatness of Bi Tumi who brought yellow rice and her body into the house. Why put in?! Not that the show is not finished.

I feel bad. Mr. Bambang and Bu Ajeng look annoyed to see me. I am sorry to take those foods. In the end, I was just holding back my hunger.

......................

At night I was so hungry. I picked up instant noodles in my bedroom closet. Eating it raw for my stomach. Yeah, I bought some spare food myself, which I kept in my room. I don't feel good, when I want to be cool, take food from the kitchen.

My head was dizzy that night, but it was only 8 o'clock. I usually sleep at 9pm. Ah shit, where the instant noodles haven't run out. I put it back in the closet. Drink water and lie down in my blanket.

I'm so sleepy, but I don't know why I can't sleep. My palaku dizzy, my body heavy and limp, very lazy it feels. Even just changing sleeping position, very lazy for me. My body was heavy and like floating, soaring I closed my eyes. I was swallowed in an instant.

I woke up lying in my bed. It feels so sleepy. I can't move my body. Only my hands are down that I can move. I tried hard to reach my cell phone where. But I was surprised to see, it was not my room.
