On An Island

Water Eating Cotton Stone Drinking Tree

Oryza Sativa did not care about Cresen's sullen face that soaked his clothes with 'water' that he took out. And the Chief waited patiently for her, like a mother waiting and looking after her own baby who learned to pee.

Angrily Cresen turned around, then headed towards the house where the residents were being cared for. He wants to change his clothes. There are no clothes there. All the things that are there are moved elsewhere.

Cresen finally went to the chief's house, a stone's throw away. Then searched the house and found his clothes. At that time the Chief who was still following him was about to come in.

"Enough, don't peek at me changing clothes!" cresen said firmly.

Despite not knowing what Cresen said, seeing the door closed, Oryza Sativa chose to wait outside. But after all this time, Cresen had not returned, nor was he calm. He gripped the door and it opened.

"Armggkk!" shouted Cresen who was not yet dressed.

It turns out he was still cleaning his body. Because many wounds leave stains on his body. And the stain was stuck in his clothes. So he had to take off his clothes slowly.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" ask Oryza Sativa.

"Based on the wicked woman, dirty-minded, go... !" shout Cresen.

Oryza Sativa who was shouted at by Cresen retreated and closed the door again. Cresen quickly put on his clothes behind a storage crate. After he finished changing clothes he still did not come out and chose to sleep on his bed.

"My son? Are you all right?" There's no answer.

The Chief chose to open the door slowly. Then look for Cresen and find him lying on his bed. He wanted to touch the boy but then put him down. Seeing the boy look exhausted.

"Don't go anywhere I'll be back soon" said Oryza Sativa.

Then he went to the house where the residents were treated. Feed them and give them a drink. After that they drive them one by one to throw 'water' small or large.

"Is Cresen awake?" he murmured when they were done.

Then he went back to the house where Cresen was. At that time Cresen was awake and again he seemed to clean his body which was still removing fluid from the broken lump from his body. Oryza Sativa approached and checked his son's body temperature.

"Still feverish," he murmured.

"It's your food and drink" he said then looking for drugs.

"You can eat and drink by yourself, right? Mama went there first. After that it will come back again" said Oryza Sativa.

Cresen did not care what his foster mother said, and only ate and drank what was in front of his eyes. The woman smiled and left. And returned after taking care of the inhabitants. So next.

Three days without rest, the Chieftain was exhausted and he fell down the stairs as he entered his house. The sleeping Cresen awoke after hearing the sound of people falling.

"Oryza Sativa!"

It quickly came down. And try to wake the woman. But he didn't budge. Cresen was worried. It shook the body of Oryza Sativa, to wake the woman up.

"Oryza Sativa, Oryza Sativa" he said, shaking the woman's body.

"Oryza Sativa, cotton, tree, eat, water, shower, drink."

Cresen spoke every word he remembered, though he did not know what to say. He just wanted to wake the woman up. So he said the words he memorized in the language used by the inhabitants. I hope the woman wakes up soon.

The sun went down, Cresen panicked. He doesn't know what to do. The chieftain was unconscious. He eventually chose to go to where the residents were treated.

"Oryza Sativa, water eats cotton tree drinking stone," said Cresen in their language.

"What do you really want to say?" ask Panthera Tigris then.

He tried to hold back his laughter, which made him momentarily forget the pain he was suffering. So Cresen with a dead red face shouted in annoyance.

"Oryza Sativa!" his yell.

Then Cresen showed me something. He made a gesture saying that Oryza Sativa was not breathing. But still they don't understand.

Then Cresen thought something. He saw the Oryza Sativa robe there. Then put it on and demonstrate the way Oryza Sativa walks. Those who saw him laughed. But Cresen did not care and continued acting. And then he dropped himself. The people who were laughing were silent.

Panthera Tigris guessed that something bad happened to Oryza Sativa, so he tried to wake up from his sleep. Cresen tried to help the Chieftain's husband to stand up. But just as he stepped one foot, someone hugged him.

"Thankfully you're okay" he said.

"Oryza Sativa?"

Cresen quickly turned his head, and he involuntarily smiled. The woman was happy to see her son doing well. And he was surprised when Cresen turned around and returned his embrace.

"Oryza Sativa, a wooden bath stone eats sleep," said Cresen.

He did not care, even though the sentence he said was messy, because he just wanted to say something in their language. The residents are silent. I was surprised to see the change in the child's behavior.

"Are you no longer angry with me?" ask Oryza Sativa.

"Oryza Sativa" replied Cresen.

*cups!

Cresen landed a kiss on Oryza Sativa's cheek. Although not knowing the meaning of the woman smiling felt Cresen's soft lips stuck to her cheeks even if only for a moment. Then he pulled the boy in his arms.

The next day Cresen was fully healed. He got the smallpox vaccine as a child. So that when he was attacked by smallpox when his body power decreased, after a mud bath, the anti-body in his body worked.

"I'm sorry I hurt you" Cenayang said as Cresen gave him a drink.

For he had the duty of taking care of the inhabitants when his mother went to find food. He did not want the woman to be as exhausted as before. His behavior was quite entertaining for the residents. Which makes them feel happy. This makes their body power increase.

"I feel fresher now" Panthera Tigris said on a clear morning.

"Me too" said babysitter Cresen.

Same for the others. They recovered in the following days. And finally they went home to each other. Doing your own treatment. Or take care of each other.

"We survived the water curse, it was all thanks to the Chief" Cenayang said.

"That's not true, it's all thanks to my son. Seeing her break from the curse slowly makes me sure you'll all be free from the curse" said Sativa Oryza.

"It turns out your son is amazing. How about we give him the name Panthera Leo!"

"That's a good name" Oryza Sativa smiled.

Seriate...
