OJO NGONO MAS

The Thought And Tragedy of Toads

Noah sat down with Agnes on the bench where Sri was sitting earlier. Sri is now joined by Lucky and Rian. Which makes Lucky overwhelmed to tell Sri to step aside. But Sri is getting closer and bothering Lucky to lure the eel.

Noah and Agnes sat awkwardly. Noah waited for Agnes to speak while looking at Sri and Lucky who were joking while fishing.

"It's nice to see them like that, sir." said Agnes, looking the same way.

"Hm" Noah nodded without taking his eyes off. "I'm glad they're happy. May it always be so."

"Then, what about your own father?" Noah looked at Agnes. The girl also turned her head slowly and looked into Noah's eyes. "Do you not want to be happy like Lord Lucky and Sri?"

Noah looked away his eyes again. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

"Sometimes, we also want to feel happy like everyone else. But it would be happier to see someone else find their happiness" Noah said.

"Sir Noah was very good. Can release Sri without asking for a proper reply. But, I don't think I can be like father."

"Everyone is different, Agnes. Not everyone can do what we do, right?"

"Yes. Father's right. I am jealous of Sri. He's very lucky. Much love came to him. And he found a heart patch that really suited him well, and also loved him very much." Agnes was silent for a moment. Staring at Sri who was laughing because she put mud on Lucky's cheek. "I want to feel that too."

Noah looked at Agnes again. Then smile gently. Look at the girl carefully.

"You have Rian. He's ready to take care of you, and ready to love you. Then why waste it, Agnes?"

Agnes' heart felt in the crumb. He wanted to scream in front of Noah if he wanted Noah to welcome his love. His eyes heat up to hold the clear circle that had urged to come out. This time he had to dare to ask.had to dare to reveal his heart to Noah so that this man knew how much he loved him.

"But.." Agnes ventured back to look at Noah with teary eyes almost crying. Noah saw that clearly. "Is there not a little love for me in your heart?"

Noah speaks a thousand languages. Didn't expect Agnes to be this brave. Looked at Agnes' eyes and dug deeper. Asked in his own heart the answer to Agnes' question.

"I.. S-s-me. like daddy. I love father. I asked for your father's love. What can?" ask Agnes again stammering.

Noah's heart seemed to be crushed to hear the statement as well as the question at the same time. Agnese. She's gorgeous. Clever. And loved her. But does she love Agnes too? So far Noah only considers Agnes only limited to superiors and subordinates. Not more.

Noah could not bear to see those eyes of love and hope. But he also could not force his heart to pretend though. Noah smiled shadyly. Then look straight ahead again.

"You know Agnes, look at Sri and Lucky. You know their story, right? Hmm?"

Agnes nodded. Her tears just dripped as she nodded her head. But keep quiet and listen to Noah.

"The two of them also used to not love each other. Always fighting and there are many obstacles from Amira. But as time passed, they opened their hearts to each other. They fell in love. And now they're happy."

Noah stop. Looking up again at Agnes who was already crying tears. Noah could feel Agnes's heartache at this moment. So he felt when he knew that Sri was the wife of his own cousin. But Noah let the girl cry to the satisfaction.

"So are you, Nes. You have Rian. He's a good young man. He can take care of you and be ready to love you."

"Don't talk about Rian, sir. I asked father. Can't you give your father love for me?"

"Sorry Agnes. I don't want to pretend to open my heart. I cannot plunge you into a deeper abyss. Is it better to be loved than to love? Rian loves you. But I didn't. Even if I pretend, but later the consequences will get worse. We will be more devastated." said Noah at length.

Agnes could not speak. Just a sad cry. It was destroyed by that hope. Noah never loved her. Noah remains clumsy unable to open his heart to Agnes. Noah can't bear to see Agnes sobbing sadly after he finds out what Noah's heart is. Noah clasped Agnes' hand.

"Agnes, we both know that reality is very painful. Honesty is sometimes not good to hear. But wouldn't it be better to be honest than to be pretended?"

"But.. S-I su-like gaffer" Agnes stammered curtly so as not to break into a roar.

"I know."

Agnes looking. Staring at the netra Noah who was still staring at him fixedly. Noah knows he likes her? has he?

"You know?"

Noah nodded again and smiled sweetly to make Agnes' heart melt.

"But, again I say. Love cannot be forced. The taste comes by itself. I can't pretend." Rian clasped Agnes' hand with both hands. Patting slowly. Gave confidence to this girl.

"There's Rian. Look at her. He knows you like me. But patiently and show that he is manly, by taking you and directly asking you with his parents. She wants to make you the queen of her heart."

Agnes looked at Rian. It was seen that the man was painstakingly fishing for eels in small holes. Sri is still bothering them.

"Then why didn't you get up? Why are you still falling?"

"I'll rise, Nes." Noah laughs. "But not here. Not with you. Rian needs you more. Come onl... Don't be such a crybaby. You have the potential to be the village chief's mother. Who knows after you got married, Rian nominated himself."

Agnes laughed in tears. Noah also chuckles at the thought of Rian as the head of the village.

"Don't fall for what we can't achieve, Nes. But focus on what awaits you"

"Sir, thank you for answering my question. Now I'm relieved. I can make the right decision."

"Don't hesitate to step in with Rian. I support you."

Agnes could smile with relief, Noah said. Don't fall for things we can't achieve. Just focus on what is certain in front of you.

"Goddessa... Got Sri! I got the eelaa.." shouted Rian happily. Gifted the eel that was successfully on the fishing line out. Noah and Agnes gasped in shock and immediately turned their heads towards them.

It is different with Lucky. He squealed in shock at the shape of the snake-like eel wriggling loudly.

"Tuaan.. It's eel!" Rian brandished his eel high in front of Lucky.

"Hey!! Keep it away from me!" pekik Lucky felt amused and disgusted at once.

"Mase scared?" ask Sri.

"Eh.. No. gabe. Just ticklish, baby" Lucky dodged. Trying to turn his face into cool again.

"Waaah.. This one's got to be too!"

Rian exclaimed again for his second fishing rod. Looks hook thread in pull in deeper. Trying to pull him out. Sri cheered with joy. Pulling on the sleeve of Lucky's shirt is so happy.

But honey, it's so successful to pull, not the eel that got stuck in Rian's hook. But frogs. Seeing that, Lucky immediately panicked. His face was pale. Retreat slowly as Rian brandished the empty height in his hook eyes.

"Aduhh.. Darling real. Just a frog, Sri" Rian looked disappointed. "More.. Old-fangled. Lucky's. Just a frog." Lucky's getting stiff. Stepping back again.

"Rian! Get that away from me!" lucky's jolt is a little tight.

"Why, sir? It's just a frog" Rian prankfully shook the frog to nearby Lucky. Lucky's panicking.

"Rian! Keep my word!" lucky's snaps are getting pale.

"Mase why anyway? Afraid of frogs?" Sri is confused why Lucky's face became so pale.

"Eh. no.. Who's afraid, baby? I just don't like it" Lucky quickly held his head up and puffed up his chest. Do not fall in prestige just because of fear of frogs.

Rian realizes Lucky's fear. Basic guy sableng, arising nosy soul jumping to the surface. Noah was about to see that. He knows what Lucky hated as a child. Frogs and lizards.

"Are you not afraid, sir?" Rian shook the frog again on the thread of his hook.

"Rian! don't fuck! Keep that!" lucky's growl glared at Rian while stepping back. "

Throw that! Or me .. I-I'm going to meme... Aaaaaaaaaakkhh...."

Not yet finished talking, Rian had already thrown a frog towards Lucky. Lucky screamed in fear while running in the rice field.

"Haha... He said not afraid.."

Rian chuckled to see Lucky no longer cared about his prestige. Lucky ran towards the middle of the rice field. Wagging the back of the ridge. Afraid the frog was sticky because it was thrown Rian.

"Still on that back paaakk"

Rian yelled at Lucky who was still struggling to run in the mud of the rice field. Agnes, Noah, and Sri were already awake to see that. Destroyed was his pride. His face was smeared in front of the sri. The spunky husband with a muscular strapping body, it is no longer influential if his business colleagues see him scared and run in the middle of the rice field just because of frogs.

.

"Riiiaan.. I'm gonna kill you!" lucky shouted furiously as the toad had already slipped off his back.
