Feelings that make groggy and stiff. The feeling that made Aril's mental strength disappear instantly, and was forced to make him have to duck.
Aril lowered his head like a submissive person and was afraid of a mortal enemy, but with a different mood.
'Truly a strange feeling, ' Aril wrote in his heart.
Suddenly Dara got up from the side of the bed, the place she had been sitting at. Aril raised his face, their gazes met again.
"I want to pray first" said Dara, and he hurried to leave Aril.
"Azan is not heard!"
Aril said so, because he had not heard the voice of Zuhr's doom. Moreover, when Dara will be left behind, like something is missing from him.
I don't know what's missing? If money, it is impossible, because Aril does not have money. But certainly, as long as he was here, Aril never listened to the voice of the azan.
"A little while Zuhur's time has come in, but if the voice of azaan is never in this village," replied Dara, after he stopped his steps.
"Why?"
"Because there is no breaking, let alone the mosque. Here the religion of Islam is only a little. I'll go to the bathroom first, Mom!"
Dara steps away from Aril without waiting for the man's answer.
"Yes" answered Aril, while Dara's steps were almost at the door.
It turned out that right, after the prayer, Dara left for the market. He did not invite Aril to come. But Aril is not disappointed, even if invited, he will not come. Because Aril has a plan. Plans to escape.
"As long as I haven't come home, Mas's in the house, don't have the door opened, just lock it from the inside" Dara said, as she said goodbye. The message was sent by Aril.
After Dara left the house, Aril did lock the door, but he did not move from there. Aril looked for a gap to peer inside. Unfortunately, there was no loophole he could use to peek.
Aril's eyes glanced towards the window, but the window was also tightly closed. Most likely, there was also no loophole he could use to peek from there.
Aril decided to open the door again. Slowly the door shifted. The afternoon sunlight that was not so hot, burst into the house.
Aril peeked out of the doorway carefully.
Simultaneously, Dara had climbed an andong, but the horse that pulled the andong was a strange shape. Not like the horse Aril had ever seen.
'Is there a horse with a net? What kind of horse is that?' ask Aril in my heart.
Aril's eyes lead to the coachman, who knows the coachman sir is also fanged and horned. However, there is nothing strange about the appearance of the coachman. It is ordinary, like a human. Only his face was pale.
Aril did not want to linger thinking about the horse and the coachman. This is his chance to escape. This opportunity cannot be wasted.
Who knows, this is his first chance and the last one. Once there is an opportunity. That opportunity must be taken immediately, and it must be successful to escape. Can't not ...!
Aril pushed the front door slowly, the door gap widened. When the gap was enough for her body to pass through, Aril slipped through the door.
He was so careful, keeping every move and step, so as not to cause the slightest sound. I don't know why Aril was so careful, even though there was no one in this house.
Similarly, when Aril's feet stepped through the yard. Obviously, the movements accompanied by prudence are seen in every step. So that makes teenagers run like a sneak.
After passing through the gate of the yard, Aril quickly closed it back, then the man rushed to walk in the opposite direction to Dara earlier.
According to Aril, if he goes in the same direction as Dara, it is certain, he will get to the market.
Of course, this will make him meet the villagers, even with Dara himself.
The people of Jin must be suspicious of him, and it will hinder his steps to get out of Lubuk Agung village.
Aril has been walking for a long time, but he hasn't met anyone.
Although there were several houses that he had passed through, but not a single human-like creature that he had found. Not even cattle, nor did he meet them.
Apparently this village is completely silent from living things.
Aril steps further away from Dara's house, even the houses began to be absent. There are only a few gardens, no matter who they belong to.
After several gardens he passed, now only a path lay before him. The path is surrounded by bushes and trees.
Forests ....
Aril increasingly rushed down the lane-shaped path, which is covered by a vines. I don't know what the old road is, Aril doesn't care. He just wanted to get out of this forest as quickly as possible.
Out of the forest before night covers the earth. However, Aril's steps must eventually come to a halt, hindered by the depths of the abyss that stretches before him.
We'll turn the story to Dara.
****
After returning from the market, how surprised Dara was to see the door that was not closed tightly. The girl rushed into the house and headed for Aril's room.
He did not find Aril there, then the girl searched the entire room, even he also searched around the yard area of the house.
Long enough he searched for Aril, but what he was looking for was not found. Dara begins to think that Aril deliberately ran away from his house.
When this came to the girl's mind. His entire joint felt limp, and instantly his calm was gone yawning out of nowhere.
Dara sat on the side of the bed with a sad face, slowly seeping clear from her eyes, and fell inundated with her cheeks.
There is tremendous sadness in Dara's heart over Aril's departure. The only person who was expected to be able to get out of this place, was now gone.
Yes, just last night his father told me that his mother was in the same village as Aril, and Aril knew who Dara's mother was. Even Aril often comes to visit Dara's mother named Romlah.
Aril is what Sarwo expected to bring Dara together with his mother, but it does not seem to be realized, because Aril was now gone.
Hope Dara is extinct. Dismissed to meet his mother. Mother who never knew the shape and appearance, but mother who always brings longing in the heart of Dara, longing to meet.
A dozen years of longing he was quiet, then the hope came through Aril. However, it is now destroyed along with the escape of the young man from home.
Dara lay down the body on the bed, while the clear more rapidly seeped from the eye fertilizers. His hope that had been dashed made his body feel limp as if it was boneless.
He buried his body on the soft mattress, with tears growing more and more.
There was no intention of getting out of that place. It was as if he was so late with grief. Grief over the loss of hope to meet the mother.
Until a knocking sound was heard at the door, then the girl got up and shrank the water that soaked her cheeks, then Dara rushed towards the front door.
"Mr ...! Aril escaped ...!"
The girl's cry broke after opening the door. He rushed straight into his father's arms.
To his surprise, Mr. Sarwo welcomed Dara's embrace. Although trying to calm down, but sadness is clearly visible on the face of Mr. Sarwo. While her son's cries grew firmer in the man's embrace.
"That's it ... be patient, son!" said Mr. Sarwo with a hoarse voice, while caressing the back of Dara's head.
Mr. Sarwo's teary eyes held back tears, because they witnessed his son's sadness. Regret for his actions in the past, again gnawing at the heart of the creature.
The regret that has been residing in the heart of Mr. Sarwo is getting bigger. The suffering Dara was going through now, all purely because of her mistake.
Not only Dara who suffered, but his ex-wife also helped cope, all of it happened because of the work of Mr. Sarwo.
A few dozen years ago, Mr. Sarwo was so eager to marry a human. He has indeed managed to fulfill his desires, desires that go against kodrad. Marriage between two beings of different nature.
Although his wife can not live quietly in the realm of jinn, but Mr. Sarwo still force the will, while still prohibiting and preventing his wife out of the village of Lubuk Agung.
After Dara was born, his wife's desire to return to the human realm could not be contained anymore. While Mr. Sarwo still keukeuh keep Romlah to stay with him.
As a result, Dara's mother was like a madman. His work just blabbed every time. Because of pity, Sarwo finally returned his wife to the human realm.
Since then, Sarwo himself took care of his son. However, after Dara started growing up, she always asked about her mother.
Even Dara asked Sarwo sir to pick up his mother. But Mr. Sarwo has no power to do so.
Let alone invite Dara's mother to the human realm, to just meet him, Sarwo sir is not able.
Mistakes made Sarwo sir, making him have to accept punishment from other groups of jinn.
For a lifetime, Sarwo sir can no longer enter the human realm. Likewise with Dara, he is not allowed to come out of Lubuk Agung village.
