MARY

MARY
12. Snake Kingdom



After seeing the reality that is really as bitter as bitter bitter bitter melon, pace, and papaya leaves, finally Maria returned to her family's resting house,


His last place of residence, which was also the place where he was shot to death, was,


Mary who was so sad because being a ghost alone looked weak and lethargic, Joseph who followed from behind to be confused between fear but also saddened by the fate of his young Miss, who was,


However, Yusuf knew and knew the family of Mr. Hubrecht, who was not a Dutch figure who behaved arbitrarily to the natives, he said,


He was kind, friendly and not at all arrogant. In fact, when compared to landlords who are actually still indigenous people, Mr. Hubrecht is even better at treating the villagers, he said,


"So I'm gonna stay in this house alone for some time? It's gonna be so boring, man,"


Lirih Maria when finally they both arrived in front of the resting house of the family of Mary, Mary,


Joseph sighed, he stood beside the ghost of his young Miss,


"I'll come every morning until noon Non, I'll accompany here, the important thing is Miss don't change the appearance, just stay like this, don't take her eyes off again,"


Joseph said, pleading,


Maria pursed her lips, though,


"You think I'm not scared either and shocked that my eyes have been taken off?"


Pissed Maria anyway,


Joseph who heard so scratching his head is not itchy, really strange this Mary, ghost model who even follow fear as well,


Maria then floated to the door of the resting house, in contrast to when she had to go out to work hard to open the door, this time Maria began to get used to being more practical by just penetrating the door of her resting house, which she had to do,


Meanwhile, behind Mary was Joseph who had to open the door to enter,


The room air in the resting house feels moist and the smell of gunpowder and blood is still quite thick, thick,


Joseph then walked towards the windows there, opening them one by one, so that there was a change of air because it felt like he was difficult to breathe,


"What are your plans after you're not working here, Suf?"


Mary asked Joseph after the young man had opened all the windows in the house,


"Let's see, Miss, maybe for a while I'll keep doing the same thing in this house,"


Said Yusuf,


"But I can't pay you, I'm a ghost with no money,"


Said Maria,


Joseph looked very bright, though,


"Yes Non, it's okay, tuyul who diligently looking for money do not hold money,"


Sahut Yusuf's,


Mary is sleepy,


"He's an exploited kid,"


Joseph and Mary then sat in the wooden chair in front of Mr. Hubrecht's former room,


"If this country is truly independent, I allow in front of this house the flag of your country Suf, hoisted,"


Maria said later,


"Yes Non, may they really be free, not just sweet promises, which in fact they also come only for their own sake,"


Said Joseph,


Maria slumped, then...


Sayup heard the sound of Javanese gending that dipped like wind carried out there, like,


Mary who heard looked toward Joseph,


"Can you hear that Suf?"


Ask Mary,


"Look? listen what Non?"


Joseph was confused, he looked right at left, like crossing the highway, like,


"That, gending voice,"


Said Maria,


Yusuf then seemed to put up his ears that sometimes like budek, and,


Then ...


"No Non, what's gending?"


"Yes gending, I asked what gending is,"


Mary became upset because Joseph was like a bloon,


"Hehehe. because I didn't hear Non, maybe it wasn't Non's gending, but Miss Maria's ears were entering the ground,"


Joseph said insolently,


Mary immediately struck Joseph,


"At least my ears are entering the ground, you think my ears are ants' nests,"


Mary nagged Joseph as it was, while the loud voice was still heard, even more clearly, the longer it became,


"Oh, what is that from the kingdom behind this house?"


Maria asked again, this time as she prepared to drift towards the window to look towards the back of the resting house,


"Kingdom?"


Joseph stood up from his seat and followed Mary to the window to look,


"Yes, the beautiful gold-plated kingdom, behind this house, and I'm sure they won't be easily asked to leave,"


Said Mary who was now standing by the window, her eyes looking at the busyness that was happening in front of a kingdom,


Many women with only cloth and kemben milling there, as if really busy, as it is,


But, unfortunately Joseph beside Mary could not see anything, he only saw the lake, and also the natural forest across the lake.
