Cancel Fasting



The Chieftain was finally silent without doing anything after quite a while, Cresen did not show any change. Then he held Cresen and held her in his chest. While walking home, he continued to curse himself.


Arriving at the village everyone stared at the Chief. Then they whispered to each other.


"Isn't that Cresen, why is it here?"


"Did the Chieftain take it from the sea for not wanting to take it off?"


"What the Chief of Tribes mbu__"


"Hus! What are you talking about, it's impossible!"


Finally they can only stay still while continuing to arrange the wood that wants to be transported to become a fence. Also they were sad to see the grieving Chief.


The fence was finally built.


The sun was shining as usual. The noise did not sound as usual. Cresen has not moved at all. Her clothes have been replaced. His body has been wiped.


There was no burial because despite not finding Cresen's heart rate, no one dared to mention that the child was dead. Even the shady ones.


That morning Oryza Sativa took Cresen to the top of the highest mountain and fasted. He hugs Cresen and vows not to go down the mountain before Cresen comes back to life. And he took Cresen on foot. No one can follow him.


The further he walked - the stronger his heartbeat moved. Without him noticing, his speeding heart guided Cresen's weak heart to beat faster.


Dejected psychic. He felt he had made a big mistake and he decided to fast. Closing the door and not allowing anyone to enter.


It turns out that it makes everyone do the same. All activities in the area stopped. The whole population is fasting. Even the sun seemed to confine itself and cover its light with black clouds.


Just in the afternoon the fast-walking Oryza Sativa arrived at the top of the mountain. He chose a tree to rest. And he also fell asleep. Hugging Cresen.


It was then that Cresen slowly woke up. His heart rate is normal. He heard the heartbeat of Oryza Sativa, then glanced left and right. Set the position to be more free to look around. Without getting off her bed.


"Where is this?" his inner.


From where it is located the entire edge of the island can be seen. Cresen moved again and tried to break away. But it made Oryza Sativa wake up and bow.


"Geek!" Cresen's head was hit by Oryza Sativa's chin.


Oryza Sativa then hugged Cresen to his chest in his original position. And closed his eyes again.


"Take me off!" shout Cresen. The half-conscious Oryza Sativa opened his eyes.


"You didn't hear? I said let go!" Cresen.


Oryza Sativa widened his eyes and looked at his son. He quickly carved a smile on his lips.


"My son!" his screeches.


"My son's back...!" shouting pleased.


"Hey.my ears could break! Why yell? Let's get me!"


Oryza Sativa raised Cresen with both hands to the sky. Showing that his son is back to life. While unknowingly the skin of the animal that wrapped Cresen's body was released.


"Oryza Sativa...! I'm gonna kill you...!" Cresen yelled in annoyance, embarrassed to death, while folding his legs. Covering the parts of the body that distinguish between men and women.


Oryza Sativa doesn't care. Cresen's threat did not scare him. He immediately summoned his eagle bird. Just take the tiger's skin and wrap Cresen's body. I want it to feel like Cresen grabbed Oryza Sativa's hair if it wasn't for his hands wrapped together all over his body except the head.


"Don't open it, baby. You will be cold!" oryza Sativa exclaimed as she pressed her warm cheek against Cresen's cheek.


They returned to the village and found no one there. Silence and all doors closed. Even the fireplace that is always there day or night in the middle of the village has long been extinguished.


"Where is everyone?" mumble Oryza Sativa.


There's no answer.


Oryza Sativa is banging on the door. From the crevices he could see someone inside. Even though it was getting dark because the sun should have set. But since the sun was all day covered in clouds, no one knew when the sun was setting.


"Go! I told you I'd fast until Oryza Sativa comes back!" panthera Tigris said after hearing the sound of knocking on the door many times.


"Darling! It's me!" chanted The Chief.


"And also our son" he said again.


Panthera Tigris frowned. And not yet moved from sitting with her. After Oryza Sativa said it over and over again, he quickly opened the door.


"Darling, are you okay? Don't be sad though .. him," Pantera Tigris said looking at Cresen.


Panthera Tigris shook his head. Thought his vision was not right. Cresen who was in his wife's arms looked at him. He patted Cresen's cheekpad gently with his index finger.


"Stop it or I break your finger!" bentak Cresen's.


"She, talk?" Oryza Sativa nodded in response to her husband.


"He's alive?" asked Pantera Tigris to poke Cresen's cheeks with a pickle.


"Hey..you're right..agk!"


Cresen was taken from the arms of Oryza Sativa. Then the husband of the Chief of Tribes brought Cresen to the middle of the room. Then yell.


"ALL PEOPLE...! MY SON IS BACK...! HE'S ALIVE! PANTHERA LEO IS BACK!" yells.


Cresen held onto the tiger skin that wrapped around his body. Afraid that his whole body would open. But fortunately Panthera Tigris did not raise it by raising his hand but rather carried it like a baby with one arm.


"Everyone...! Out...!" he shouted again while banging a bamboo with wood.


Oryza Sativa took her son back and stood some distance away from her husband who was hitting the bamboo. The people who were inside their respective homes slowly opened the door.


"What's this?"


"That's the Chief!"


"The Chief of the Tribes is coming!"


Excite them happy. But they become even more happy when Oryza Sativa sends his son to everyone. Some people immediately picked up wooden twigs and dried leaves. Light a fire. They wanted to clearly see the face of the Chieftain's son.


"This is amazing. I'm a psychic, saluting the Chieftain's son!" cenayang exclaimed as he looked at Cresen with a slight bow.


"Everyone.. let's party...! No one else is fasting! My son Panthera Leo is back! He is with us now!" shouted Pantera Tigris cheering.


Cresen heard all the words they said and strangely he clearly understood them all. Then a woman took her baby and approached Cresen.


"Panthera Leo, put your hand over my daughter's head. Because I wish my daughter could also be as strong as you face death. You've twice crossed the bridge of death and made it back to this world. So tie that little bit of power to her" the woman's pinta shows her the baby that once bit off Cresen's ear.


"What's the aunt talking about?" And who is Panthera leo?" ask Cresen.


Everyone who heard Cresen speak looked over.


"Unbelievably, Panthera Leo is already good at talking!" they call each other and smile.


Cresen fell silent then widened his eyes.


"What'sthis? I understand very well what they say. And also fluently speak in their language!" inner Cresen.
