MARY

9. Bitter Reality

Mary looked at her Father Joseph with disappointed eyes mixed with a hint of annoyance,

He had his hands bosom in front of the eyes of his Father Joseph, but his Father Joseph could not see Mary,

His father Joseph walked away from the door, passing through Mary as if Mary were not there,

What Cataract is Joseph's Father? Inner Mary,

Out of curiosity he followed his Father Yusuf, on the taboknya back of the parents, until Mr. Yusuf staggered and immediately turned his head,

"Who?!"

Snapped by Joseph's Father, Yusuf,

Maria became more curious, his Father Joseph could feel when he was taboo, but strangely could not see the figure of Mary, he said,

So, Maria ballet, salto, to jog jellyfish, and,

But...

His father Joseph remained unmoved, it finally made Mary finally give up,

He looks caressing the chest, though,

"Prophe Mary, this is a test,"

He said to himself,

He then turned around, instead of looking at the main door of Joseph's house that had no color, he said,

Mary finally walked there, walked for Mary, and drifted for the beholder,

Mary finally went into Joseph's house, she was not concerned with manners and manners, because the owner of the house did not see her, let alone let her in,

It's not a matter of disrespect, it's just a dream, isn't it? Mary said to her heart, trying to comfort herself,

Then Mary went into a frenzy looking for where Joseph might be,

Where's he sleeping?

In which room?

Can't he sleep in the kitchen?

Inner Mary while stamp cup locust buds, choose which room is approximately inhabited by the young man of her family, the servant,

Until finally, the choice of Mary is the room in the back, a room that is close to the door that separates the front room and the kitchen, the room that is located in the back,

Maria also walked quickly there, fortunately the room was no door, only closed by a curtain of color that no matter how old she was,

Mary uncovers the curtain of Joseph's room, which she now sees Joseph sleeping very soundly,

In Mary's dream, Joseph was even comfortable sleeping, obviously this made Mary so upset, he said,

Mary approached Joseph and without further ado struck him,

"Wake Suf!"

Maria said annoyedly,

Yusuf who was stabbed, obviously immediately woke up because he was so shocked,

Joseph then rubbed his eyes, and ...

"Well!"

Yusuf inched quickly into the corner of his lepek mattress, which he had,

"Miss.. aampuuun.. ampuuun Nooon, aampuun,"

Joseph cupped his hands together and begged for mercy,

"Oh my goodness, wake me up quickly, this dream is not good,"

Said Maria,

"Douuuh Non, this is not being in the dreamland Non, this is real nature, the harsh reality realm that is full of tests and trials Non,"

Said Yusuf,

"No, it's Joseph's dream, I'm in this dream like a ghost, I have to wake up,"

Maria still won't accept,

Joseph shook his head,

"Oh Non, should how can I make Miss believe? Do I have to go out at night like this to show you Miss's grave?"

Joseph who had just imagined it was now shuddering in horror,

"Non, that night a group of Nippon soldiers came to the village, inviting several young men and also the Fathers to attack the resting house of Mr. Hubrecht,"

Yusuf later said,

Mary seemed silent, trying to listen to what Joseph was telling her, trying to gather the scattered fragments of her memory,

"I leave tomorrow as usual for Miss's house, as soon as I arrive I have found Mr. Hubrecht with no family, including..."

Joseph could no longer explain,

It was obviously not unusual for him to explain one event to a ghost figure,

But...

Joseph then changed who ventured to look at Mary,

Her young lady who had now become a ghost still looked beautiful even though she was no longer human,

Mary, who seemed to be amazed to think about all the stories of Joseph, what really happened, now seemed to be sitting on the edge of Joseph's bed,

The bed with a limp mattress pad that fortunately does not smell musty,

"Is it really like that?"

Suddenly Mary's voice rang out in silence, she now seemed vaguely able to remember the events Joseph was telling her, but the memory was not so perfect,

It was really like just small fragments, making Mary unable to remember it well,

"Yes Miss, sorry if this is too painful, but..."

Joseph tried not to fear Mary any more,

After all, he is not a creepy ghost, so Joseph should not go overboard, either,

Except...

Ah no! Nah! do not let the two eyes fall off to roll, for Joseph, it is too surprising,

"So that means I'm dead? I mean really a ghost?"

Lirih Maria anyway,

Joseph who could not bear to say that seemed to choose silence, it seems he could not say if Mary was really just a ghost who was still unconscious if she had died,

"Fire, Mami, Luna and Albert, they're really dead? Not fleeing to Holland?"

This time Mary looked at Joseph,

Joseph also nodded, though,

"Yes Non, but I heard that Mr. Hubrecht's family managed to escape,"

"Who?"

Ask Mary,

"That used to be at the rest house with Miss's family,"

Answer Joseph,

Maria seems to be getting harder to remember, then...

"The one who lives in the center of this sub-district is Miss, who used to be the head of the plantation,"

And Joseph said,

Maria was sleepy, even though her memory was very bad, but there was one part of her memory that was like being able to remember the figure of her distant sister Papi, who was,

Mary looked sadly at Joseph,

"Suff,"

Call Maria, please,

Joseph nodded still timidly,

"Am I buried with my other family?"

Mary asked suddenly,

"Yes Miss, sorry,"

Joseph looked very bad.
