NYI TWINS TRIBUTE

Something in the Pool

The bubbles in the water disappeared leaving silence. Riani moved slowly. He still did not dare to touch the water in the pond, but there was no other water he could use.

"What are you doing inside, Nduk?"

"Oh .. e .. i-this, again take the soap, ma'am."

Riani immediately took the soap as she had already said. Soap foam began to flatten on both feet and hands.

Using a dipper that had been hollowed out at the bottom, Riani started to take water in the pool.

Nothing happened, but Riani was already very scared.

Believing there was nothing in the pool, Riani began to dare to take water from the pool quickly.

"Udah?" utari asked shortly after Riani came out of the bathroom cubicle.

Riani just nodded her head.

"Yes, let's spit it out, don't be long."

Utari's footsteps first walked towards the back door of the house, then followed by Riani who still carries a flashlight in her right hand.

There was a back door locked by Utari as Riani took off her sandals and placed a flashlight inside the black plastic hanging over a chicken coop.

"Sleep, rest, you must be tired, right? If you hear anything quiet."

Riani nodded, she then went into the room.

He took the skincare that he had neatly arranged on the table and began to apply it.

"Why don't you look anymore, huh? Does he just go to bed and not clean first?" lirih Riani monologues with herself.

He took the smartphone with the remaining power of thirty percent. Logging into the messaging app, Riani sends a message to her lover.

Riani: Bay's.

But the message was not sent. Both of Riani's eyes still continued to pay attention to the sign indicating that the message was still not sent.

A few seconds passed, Riani's eyes shifted to the top of the screen. Seen there was no signal at all.

"Huh, I deserve it."

There was nothing Riani could do with her phone since there was not a single signal here. Riani opened the video player application, at least so that there is a sound that will accompany him to sleep, but he forgot, he never downloaded any video that can be played offline.

"Argh ... fool! Bayu also why not say that there is no signal here at all?!" upset Riani, he throws his smartphone to the side of the bed.

His knees were bent until he almost touched his chest. He covered his body with a thin cloth that had been provided, although the cold was still felt.

While closing both eyes, Riani was still unable to fall asleep.

The atmosphere was getting quieter, there was only silence with night animals or goats behind the house that occasionally sounded.

"Great boss, what's wrong?" Riani went from sleep, she was now half sitting on the foam mattress that became her bed.

His eyes rolled around the room. The lights that illuminate this room are not so bright. At this time Riani only realized that the room space she occupied was very closed.

Some clothes that may belong to Utari or Suwiryo are hanging on the back of the door. Wall clocks are also seen hanging on the side of the wall parallel to the door. After that, there was nothing else but foam tables and mattresses that were now being used by Riani.

There was nothing that could possibly be done, Riani decided to go back to breaking down. He closed his eyes and kept them closed for as long as possible, until he fell asleep.

Still while closed, Riani patted her itchy arm. After that, there was a very loud mosquito drone because the atmosphere was quiet.

Instead of being upset, Riani felt pity. Since childhood Bayu lived here, experienced all this. It was very different from her comfort-filled self.

In his heart he felt gratitude for what his parents had given him. He felt grateful, born in a well-off family.

The sound of the birds woke Rian from a short rest. His voice was very close, perhaps the birds were engrossed in singing right above the room.

Feeling no longer tired and sleepy, Riani intends to go out to see the state of the village.

When he opened the door, Riani found no one. Silent, silent, it seems like everyone hasn't woken up.

But suddenly, Riani heard a voice from the kitchen. Slowly his footsteps approached, wearing the sandals provided and getting closer towards the kitchen that is still very traditional.

The smell of the smell of cooking was smelled when Riani had almost reached the kitchen doorstep.

"Mother," called Riani, finding her busy mother on the stove.

The woman looked. "Eh, Riani, are you awake, Nduk?"

"Udah, Mom," Riani replied as she nodded and smiled. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The woman who had returned busy with the large cauldron on the stove turned her head for the second time. He looked towards Riani, rubbing his head gently while smiling. "Well rich you cook in a rich kitchen gini."

"Well, don't you, Mom? What's wrong with it?"

"It's not wrong, either, .. Yes, if you help, you wash your face first."

Riani nodded.

"Do you know where the bathroom is?"

"Udah, Mom," said Riani who nodded again. "Then I go to the bathroom first."

Riani stepped both feet away from the kitchen accompanied by Utari's chuckling voice.

The restroom wasn't as scary as last night. Even there was already a woman with a very clearly visible age range.

"No idea" said the woman after about twenty years, shrugging her shoulders.

A smile was created on Riani's lips as she moved closer. "Holy, Mom?" greet Riani, pleasantries.

Both laughed for.

"Yes this, you .. who is it?"

"Oh, I'm Riani, Bayu's girlfriend."

"Oh .. his girlfriend Bayu turned out," said the woman who looked old with a body that contained.

"Beautiful you, Mba, pinter also Bayu choose a partner," said the younger woman, he then strayed towards the woman next to him and they both played eyes.

Riani chuckles. "Thank you."

Not wanting to be with the two women too long, Riani immediately went into the bathroom to wash her face and clean part of her body.

"You're told to wander around to get a man who's prettier, prettier, more established don't want to."

"Well, it's the same soul mate, ma'am."

"May ... Fira, you play accept people's applications, not seen first seedlings, bebet, the weights."

"Udahlah, ma'am, anyways I also love Mas Tarno."

"Tarno is ugly, poor, has nothing, you still love? Think dong, Fir, you live for a fee, need a meal, need this, need that, thought all can be bought with love?!"

"But with love can be faced together, ma'am."

"It's hard to talk to a blind man about your rich love, Fir."

Riani heard the conversation from inside the bathroom. He had already washed his face, hands and feet, but he refused to go out. No, not because he wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between the mother and child, but because he was not happy if he had to go out and cut off the conversation more precisely the debate between the two of them.

A few minutes passed and they finally stopped the small discussion. Riani came out of the restroom with a face that was still wet. He smiled again at the two women who were washing the clothes, then immediately entered the house.

The kitchen was empty, Utari was no longer inside. Apparently, he was arranging food at the dining table which simultaneously doubles as a guest table. Yeah, there's no dining room in this house.

"Sorry, Mom, it's old, so don't help me."

"No papa, Nduk, you're a guest. Sit down, we eat together. Let me call you father, Bayu and his sisters first."

Riani nodded. His eyes followed the direction Utari was going.

Suwiryo came out of the room with a slight stagger, it seemed like drowsiness was still attacking her.

While Bayu came out by wiping his eyes. He also looks very sleepy with both eyes reddened.

They were followed by two children aged about ten and seven years. They actually ran towards the living room which this morning was used as a dining room.

"Are you awake, Ri?" asked Bayu who had just occupied his body.

Riani nodded. "You're hard to build."

"Yes, still very sleepy," said Bayu who then yawned. "Where was sleep last night, Ri? Comfortable?"

"It's okay, Bay," said Riani lying.

"Thank God, semog is at home, Ri."

"Talk later, now eat first."

In the living room that is now the dining room, everyone at home has breakfast. No one spoke, only the sound of spoons and plates clashing against each other. There is also the sound of the Bayu brothers who are noisy when eating. But Riani understands that.

After eating breakfast, Suwiryo immediately came out of the house carrying a hoe, Utari returned to the kitchen, Bayu sat in the outside chair and his two sisters went out of nowhere.

"You want help, Mom?" tanya Riani, approached Utari who was washing the dirty dishes from the former meal.

"May," he said, then moved from the small chair as where he sat. "You continue to wash the dishes yes, later I want to prepare for the father."

"Yes, Mom."

Riani sat on the small chair while Utari went inside the house.

The two women he had met had already finished washing clothes. In the bathroom, there is only Riani.

Although rarely washing dishes, but at least he knows how.

Clean plates are put in the basket. Riani stood up to lift him inside the house. He heard the sound of bubbles in the bathroom.

Riani switched, she who was still curious approached towards the doorway with the curtain open.

The bubbles are in the middle of the pool. At least, it's not as scary now as last night.

"What's that?" lirih Riani when she saw the bubbles were popping more and more. "Don't you?"

Both of his eyes narrowed, he was now near the pond, even his hands were holding the edge of the pond.

There was something in the middle of the pond, Riani could see it even though it was faint. Like a black alga that grows in the middle of a pond. But could it be that the body algae was in the middle of the pond and no one cleaned it? If so, isn't algae not popping bubbles?

While observing him closely, Riani saw something like the algae moving closer, quickly.

"YESY!!!"
