On An Island

Learning to Know the Modern World

"Hey, careful...!" mosa Paradisiaca.

Slowly they retreat regularly. And alternated with the Chief who is now approaching. He can't speak. But Cresen was shocked when he saw his mother clearly. He is also hiding.

"Corazon...! Corazn, where are you going...? Honey, Mama wants to see you.... Mama misses you." Oryza Sativa's voice felt heavy as if holding back a cry.

Cresen felt guilty then slowly reappeared. "Mama, Corazon is sorry...."

"Darling... What happened? Why, you go without waiting, Mama wake up first? Is that because, you're afraid that, Mama won't let you go to school?" Oryza Sativa asked as he recalled Cresen's words, while the boy was still on the island.

"No... I came here because I wanted to find a doctor for you, Mama," Cresen said.

"Doctor? What are you looking for for a doctor for, honey?" ask the woman confused.

"To treat Mama, because mama's not waking up." Cresen also explained the reason. Panthera Tigris looked at the baby gently and rubbed the child's hair.

"Now, Mama's up, so you're gonna be home soon, right?" ask the Chief.

"But papa is still hurt." replied Cresen.

"Darling... What happened to your father?" ask Oryza Sativa.

"Um. That's because, Papa protected me from explosives. Papa also managed to save a aunt who lost her memory" replied Cresen.

"What's? Is that really my husband?" oryza Sativa asked her husband.

Panthera Tigris was still confused and had no idea what to do. Watching his wife and son talk to each other. When asked, he was still silent. It was as if he was looking at something unreasonable.

"Corazon what exactly happened to them? Why are they all so small? How can they be inside? How do I get them out?" ask Panthera Tigris in a row.

"Hey, Grandpa what did you do to my wife?" now ask grandpa.

Grandfather just looked at Cresen. I hope the child understands the confusion.

"Father.mama and the others did not shrink...." Cresen. He shook his head and patted his forehead.

"Then, Papa doesn't know...? It's the camera, Pa."

"Camera? What else is that?"

Cresen rolled his eyeballs one circle.

"This is the camera, and there is also the camera. All because of the camera. And they're not in this laptop."

"Oh, so."

Panthera Tigris gave a short answer. As if he understood. But he really did not understand a bit.

"Mama, I asked, Papa. Now let's answer."

"So my mom asked me about what? Papa forgot."

Cresen answered the papa. And the man started talking to his wife. He actually does not answer the question. But even back to asking.

"What, you all okay?" ask the man.

"Yes we are fine" replied Oryza Sativa.

"Did they treat you well?" ask Oryza Sativa

"Yes, they take good care of me."

"When are you going home?"

"Fastly, we'll be home soon" Panthera Tigris said as he brushed aside his blanket.

But he was in pain. And Grandpa told him to stay lying down. Because he is still not recovering.

"Dear, don't push yourself. Although, I've missed you guys so much. But, I don't want you to endanger yourself. Corazn, can you trust papa to you? Can you take care of papa?"

Then it was the residents' turn to talk to Cresen. On appeal to ask, they looked more, then tried to pull the child out of the laptop. There are also those who try to find Cresen from behind the laptop.

After being content to ask this and that, Oryza Sativa wanted to confirm something to Musa Paradisiaca. And asked Cresen to translate his words. Moses also said Paradisiaca.

"When are you going back to town?" ask the woman.

"Before Mr. Cresen returns to the island where you live, we will also continue to be here" replied Musa Paradisiaca.

"That means, you're staying in the middle of the sea tonight?" ask Oryza Sativa. Musa Paradisiaca.

"What about food and drinks?" ask residents.

"What if we bring them food?" ask the others.

Finally they agreed to bring food to the guests on the sea.

Oryza Sativa has resigned. Then he said he would be back by day. And promised to bring food.

"Thank you for the goodwill, you." Musa Paradisiaca crossed his arms and bowed.

Shortly after, the laptop closed. And the residents started to paddle. After first unbinding the rope, which made their boat linked with a rubber boat belonging to Musa Paradisiaca and its members.

As soon as the Chieftain and the residents returned to the island, people came to flock. Welcoming them while asking questions.

"Where are the sons and husbands of the Chief? Why not take it home?

"Hows it? Can Panthera Leo and lord Panthera Tigris not be removed from the slippery stone?"

"Calm down everyone, my son and my husband are fine. The thing you've seen, I've actually seen. And it's not what you think it is. There is no son or husband inside. It was just magic from the world of babies. And not happy." The chief explained.

"Oh, so it's harmless" said the man who accompanied Caretaker Cresen to the guests.

The residents and Caregivers of Cresen breathed in relief.

At nightfall, for the first time the inhabitants spoke of a world beyond their own. They eagerly listen to the stories of people who see laptops today.

"Chief of the Tribe, if permitted may we also see that flat object?" ask the male population.

"What if you take turns coming out of the protective shield? To see that thing and the magic that can happen in that thing.

"Me, I'm leaving!" shouted one of the residents.

Everyone ends up doing the same. And the last one to open the sound is Cenayang. He was just as curious as the others. It was just that at the beginning he was hesitant.

Unlike where Cresen was, Panthera Tigris was shocked.

"Oh god, please forgive me," he said as he saw the man in the doctor's uniform had two heads.

He tried to get up so he could bow down.

"Papa, didn't the doctor say that you should get more rest?" ask Cresen while reminding.

"But i-it's a god" replied Panthera Tigris.

"Their father is not a god" replied Cresen.

"If he's not a god, then what is he?"

"They're human too" replied Cresen.

"They? Two in one body? Like y'all?" panthera Tigris asked his son.

Hearing his father's words, his son fell silent at once. He remembered that one of them had not appeared for a long time. He also felt confused.

"Cresen?" inner son Oryza Sativa while touching his chest.
