Memories that Wade in the River



Flashbacks


"Nura, have you ever seen a shooting star?"


"Earlier. Why, Yon?"


"Actually a shooting star is an opportunity for the terrians on earth to return to the planet Terra."


"Can't you?"


"It's not hard to explain it in detail. But certainly, meteors hit the earth to give rise to light glows called shooting stars. Often the collision between the meteor and the Earth's atmosphere will produce a Morph wedge. It was this slice that paved the way for teleportation to the gate of the Milky Way galaxy."


"That's pretty complicated to understand. But the point is, Yon's going home if there's a shooting star?" ask Nura.


"Yes, like that."


"...Hm.. "


"... Nura..?"


"Yes, Yon?"


"We can meet again."


"Really?"


"Yes. Youknew. Just when I arrived on earth, I accidentally caught your image. You're blinking your eyes toward the sky."


"Whatwas? capturing imagery?? that means Yon can see Nur from a distance??"


"That's my other power, teleportation.capturing imagery 50 yards away.moving objects."


"B.kereeenn...!!!"


"Nura.thank you for being friends with me. Ye know? you were my first human friend. And you are my most magical friend."


"Daradly?"


"Yes. magically.your face is fast fickle. face is sparkling.face laughter. face is angry. face is curious.."


"Beauty face too, Yon!" cut Nura.


"Beautiful? I don't think so.."


Hearing that Nura immediately pouted...


"*What I see is a cute face, and I want to have faces like you."


This time, it was Nura's face that was met with red. While Yon was seriously watching Nura's new face. Shy face.


Flashback complete.


Nura was still looking at the sky that had just been decorated with shooting stars. He suspects that Yon and his family may have gone home by this time. With the other Terrians on earth.


Thinking about it Nura immediately went limp. He sat down at the bale. He hugged both his legs with his hands. And put his chin up on his knee. While looking at the star that twinkled like at the beginning before he met Yon.


Nura then blinked her eyes. Hopefully, by doing so Yon will come back to him in the form of a floating light. Like earlier.

Know-how, Nura even sleeps.


***


When Nura opened her eyes again, she was no longer in the bale behind the house. He is currently on the bed. With pillows and blankets next to his favorite batik.


Nura just wanted to cry. Realizing that he has separated from Yon, his alien friend.


Nura then cried. His crying was strong enough to wake people up all over the house. Brother Lili, Brother Eci, Tio, even Mother also woke up. And when his entire family was sitting around him, Nura still continued to cry and called out Yon's name.


"Yon.. Yon.. Mr. huuu....."


***


A few days later Nura was no longer seen crying. He has become his old self again. Cheerful and fond of being involved in disputes with Brother Eci.


This time the cause of the dispute between the two is about the existence of Yon. Is it true that night Nura met an alien named Yon or is it just a dream.


Nura is convinced that she has indeed met Yon, the alien. But Brother Eci also others assume that it is just a dream.


Nura insistently told about the surfboard that floated him up to the sky, also telling of Yon's teleportation ability.


But no one paid attention to that story. Moreover, Brother Eci even more fun to justify it by acting like an alien on television. Makes Nura even more upset.


When Kak Eci asked Nura for proof, Nura was actually about to show her the Arc stone that she remembered was kept in her pocket.


But when the shirt pocket was raped, Nura found nothing there. More happy again is Kak Eci meredek Nura.


And even more doubt Nura was on himself. He wondered, could it be that what he experienced about Yon was just a dream? hm...


After a few days the atmosphere of the house was always noisy by a dispute about "Yon", finally Mother could not bear it anymore.


And one afternoon Mother all-out scolded Nura and Kak Eci. They were punished by cooking water again. Together again. Really am. It was the worst punishment for Nura.


Weeks later, Nura begins to forget the commotion about "Yon. She went to third grade in SD. And there's quite a lot of PR waiting for him after school.


Brother Eci had entered Junior High, so they began to rarely fight because it was no longer a school. Brother Lili was already sitting on the bench at the end of his Junior High. Next year he will change into a gray uniform.


And Tio, ah. Nura's sister also started attending Elementary School this year. It seems that Tio will grow up to be a smart kid like Kak Lili.


Then Mother, Mother still sells traditional cakes. Cakes that now began to be entrusted also to the Mak Acih night stall across the street.


The life of the little family continues. Facing each day with all the sense of life that can be enjoyed.


I don't know it's laughter. Blubbering. Wound. Delighted. Frisson. Concerned. Blissfully. All of these things are passed through them in real togetherness.


Like a river in front of a house that never stops flowing water. Towards the estuary that becomes the end as well as an encounter.


Encounter with water from all the lands of the world to together evaporate into the mighty sky. Fused and returned together down to earth. Incarnate in the form of rain.


***


On the same river. It was three kilometers away from where the Nura family home was located. A group of middle-aged kids got together and talked about something.


"What's this, Ru?" asked a thin-looking child to the person next to him, Heru.


"Yes that." answered Heru.


"This way?" ask someone else to return.


"Well!! It will be Panca tuh color. where dapetnya?" Ask Heru.


"Tuh deket Getek sono" pointed Isman towards Getek on the riverbank.


"Tomorrow again go to sono." said Heru while looking at Getek.


Then a child asked Heru again.


"This is a precious stone, isn't it?"


Heru observed the stone that is now in the grasp of Acung.


"No, that's a darn. throw it away."


And Acung threw the stone towards the river. Afterwards, the children rushed home as it was getting dark.


The sky to the west there does indeed show the sun that is about to return to the contest. Leaving a golden and reddish luster on the canvas of the sky that was starting to gray.


Meanwhile on the river bank. A red light seemed to glow. The red light came from the stone that was thrown by a child named Acung to the edge of the river.


The red light on the stone formed a very clearly visible Arabic "nun" letter symbol. Before finally a frog accidentally nudged it to make the stone slip fell into the river and drowned to the bottom.


Leave a faint red glow on the surface of the river water. Which collides with the moonlight reflected not far from the red glow it is located.
