LOVE SONGS OF LOLOBATA

ANALOGIES

Inside the office I drafted the organization profile alone. Slender. Occasionally, there was chatter or the sound of knocking hammer handyman who was tidying up some parts of the building. I spent a lot of time taking photos in several corners of the aviary and making videos of Mr. Koli's activities preparing bird food, including his efforts to raise insect larvae and caterpillars for bird food supplies. I took a lot of pictures with my pocket camera. Move there move here looking for the best angle to aim for the male halmahera angel who will become an icon of our foundation.

Not feeling the sun was high, the messenger brother Hisham came to bring boxes of food for the handyman, the family doctor Fahira and of course me.

"Thank you, Mr. Bin. What's the menu today?"

"Chicken soy sauce, sister Fifa."

"Sir Bin has eaten?"

"It has. Before going here Mr. Hisham has told me to eat first."

"Is he still busy?"

"It's too busy, brother. Say hello to Fifa."

I nodded and smiled.

"Please excuse me, sister Fifa. Go back to the office. Someone will be looking for."

"Please. Thank you." I said as I raised my food box with a smile.

After lunch I kept the word brain and organization profile picture in the template that the app had provided. This job is quite exciting so it does not feel the sun has almost sunk. I immediately sent 3 finished profile designs to Jim to get a review.

CLICK. Message sent. There's nothing else I have to do but go back to see the aviary. Usually in the afternoon it is time for the birds to sing singing prayer beads and cheerfulness today. I packed my laptop and personal belongings into a backpack. I don't think Andi came this afternoon. It turned out that along with me exiting the door and locking the office, Andi parked the car as it opened in the yard.

As usual, the first thing he showed off was his mischievous smile. "Halo Fifa's sister. It just gets more beautiful today. Do you live in the office of PT XY? Sa thought ngana had taken over the work of secretary Firdaus's brother in the office" he said casually while jumping out of the car.

Not waiting for my answer, he swiftly pulled the rope in the car tub whose function is to strengthen the position of the cage so that there is not much movement on the way. After the rope was removed, he and his partner lowered the animal cages he carried from the top of the open tub car.

"Bring them in a big cage back there!" andi orders the fellow who helped her.

I approached and helped bring down the cassowary cage. I noticed that he was carrying not only cassowaries and partridge, but he was carrying with him a timor deer that looked helpless because the cage was too small. It was a pity that the beast looked sad unable to move freely. I thought the deer would be taken somewhere else. It turned out that Andi lowered the stag cage and took it towards the aviary.

"Hey, brother Andi. Why bring the deer stables here? We don't have a stag cage." I protested with a mocking smile.

"While put in the aviary, Fifa. I've seen Dr. Hans and Dr. Fahira. Poor this deer is hurt. It would be best to stay here in veterinary care."

I'm pissed off. The people around me always act. Not Andi. Not even Bray. Both of them often want to decide something without inviting me to discuss it first. The foundation is engaged in bird conservation. Mammals should not be placed here. Pussy if left. Today Andi tipped deer, it could be tomorrow or the day after the wolves or pigs will also be brought here so that the work is lighter. It cheats his name.

"Sir Andi can't be that way. We just take the birds."

"Try to see! Why don't you look at this deer?"

"Pity. But the deer is not a kind of fowl, brother. Let not all the duties of Brother Andi be transferred to us. We only accept poultry. Not another animal."

"It's only temporary, Fifa. After all your aviary is vast and still empty. The bird collection is still small. It doesn't matter if this deer hitchhiked for a while. Have pity on this deer." replied Andi without feeling guilty at all. He seems to be used to doing this.

Andi took the deer out of its narrow enclosure in the aviary. The deer won't stand. Just drooping on the ground. His skeleton stood out because only a little bit of flesh enveloped his body. Sayu's eyes. His stomach looks bloated. Is it possible to be pregnant? I immediately fell into pity. My eyes seemed to ask me to be allowed to stay. If this is the case, I might insist on expelling him.

Doctor Hans came to us with his practical equipment. He entered the aviary, went straight to the deer, and checked his condition without saying much.

My wild idea came up. I took a camera and a tripod to capture this moment. How to know useful later in life.

"This deer is pregnant" said doctor Hans quietly as he lowered the stethoscope from the ear. A faint smile fell on his lips.

Andi nodded. "Alhamdulillah. The rangers found him on patrol today. The deer was separated from its herd near the river, Doctor. Legs limping. We just got rid of it as first aid for this deer."

"What's a broken bone?"

"Come, doctor. There's bruises. We thought it was just trauma from colliding with a blunt object."

Doctor Hans opened the dressing on the deer's leg. I saw the female deer's face grimacing. I feel the pain too.

After examining the wound and giving him some kind of ointment, Dr. Hans again made the splinter and bandaged it very carefully.

"Is there a fracture, Doc?" Andi asked back.

"No. Right your guesses. He was just traumatized by the impact of a blunt object. Hopefully soon recover. What we should pay more attention to is her pregnancy. This deer needs additional nutrition because he is pregnant with four fetuses. We should try to add supplements to the feed later."

As fast as it contains 4 fetuses? Well, what a pity. It was fitting that he would not stand up. In addition to his injured leg, maybe his frail body is not strong enough to withstand the weight of 4 developing fetuses in his womb.

"We're gonna take care of him in the aviary, Doc?" my many.

"It looks like it, Fifa."

Andi smiled cheerfully. He grabbed my shoulder with his shoulder. "How not to be stingy, Fifa. Deer are also God's creatures that need protection. Moreover, the deer is pregnant."

Ja. Knows. I also tried to see the fate of the skinny deer.

"Why dear man, what could waste a pregnant deer whose legs are injured?"

I stroked a deer that since his arrival could only sleep with a clear face and my eyes. It seems like a heavy burden on his life. A thin and injured mother animal is fighting for the life of 4 children in her womb. That was a really incredible struggle. Of course I have to help him.

"He eats grass like a goat, Doc?"

"Yes. Grass and leaves. Later I will give the supplements that are in the puskeswan first while ordering a special supplement that is better to save the pregnancy of this deer."

Dr. Hans stroked her rough fur. The deer just quietly enjoyed the caress of our hands. Poor thing.

"One day she'll get pregnant like that deer, Fifa. I have to learn to be a mother of her."

I punched Andi's shoulder that was teasing me. "I don't think you have the brain to get pregnant without the responsibility of a male like that deer. Where's the male deer? Why would he let his wife and future children suffer so?"

For some reason what was in my eyes right now was Bray's face. He is always suitable to be likened to an irresponsible charming male like a halmahera bird and a male timor deer. All eyes are fascinated by the beautiful look, the sweetness of the song and the beautiful dance of the male halmahera angel. Who the hell does not admire the charm of a handsome male timor deer with forked horns on its head. With their horns they fight for the heart of the female. But once her heart and body are obtained, the female is left in trouble conceiving a child resulting from their mating process. How lyrical. Why does the male not accompany the pregnancy of the female he mated? Were they created by God without compassion for his flesh and blood?

My brain keeps making analogies about male animals that look interesting but irresponsible. All of those analogies go to one name whose smile is always remembered in my memory. Who else if not Bray, the young boss who looks super attractive.

Argh. I hate all this. I hate why my brain is now filled with images of him, him and him. Why is my brain paralyzed like this? Have I fallen in love with her? Oh God. Even if I have to fall in love, I don't want to fall in love with her. It is better that I fall in love with Arfa my little friend who has proven faithful to accompany me in my difficult times. It's not him who's just good at spreading charm. It wasn't him who turned out to be using me for his business ambitions. It wasn't him I thought killed my father and my beloved bird with his poisoned arrow. It wasn't her who had been engaged to someone much more deserving of me. Nope. Nope. I don't want to fall in love with that guy.

Andi hit me on the shoulder while smiling. "Why why? Dreaming what?"

For a moment I was shocked. I developed a smile to normalize things.

Get all the thoughts off Bray. I can't fantasize too much and think of something useless.

"Where are you still thinking about where the male deer that impregnated him?" insist Andi again who is not stopping to sow a grin.

Dr. Hans joined in with a smile at my stupidity. I was embarrassed.

"Not all males leave a pregnant female. There are males who actually increase in love and attention when their partners contain their seeds. I'm example. Ask doctor Fahira! I always accompanied and spoiled her when she was pregnant Pras. Until giving birth I also accompanied even though my skin became berets because scratched by a lioness who gave birth. Haha."

I don't know. Was doctor Hans about to tell me that not all men don't care about their partners or are praising themselves.
