Re - Growth of Life

Public Holidays (1)

“Adrian! Let's wake!” Tetam yelling at the back door of the kitchen.

I gasped to get up, fell silent for a few seconds, then quickly opened the window curtain.

Huh uh?! Still dark?

I rubbed my eyes as I walked into the kitchen, seeing Tetam, Abel, Dad, and Mom all dressed up in their straw hats.

The Eyebrow of the Tetam shriveled, cupping his hand. “Ckckck.... still wearing nightgown?”

I headed to the water faucet, washed my face immediately. “What's the event early in the morning like this?”

“We'll go hunting!” The drops jump cheerfully.

“Hunting?!” I reflexively glared, not believing what Tetam said.

A hunt? Two old men, and three young children less than fifteen years old hunting?

Tetam nodded enthusiastically, “Iya. Every once a month, we used to go to the forest to hunt wild boar that beeeesssaarrr.” The drops gradually spread his hands until his body almost fell.

Mom laughed a little at the behavior of Tetam. “Yes already, Adrian take a shower first. We go first. Abel, you wait Adrian yes, later you guys soon follow.”

Abel nodded, sitting leaning on his back.

I nodded, stepping into the bathroom.

...----------------...

A few minutes later, I finished the shower. Soon change clothes and wear straw hats just like Tetam, Dad, and Mom.

I walked into the kitchen, saw Abel falling asleep waiting for me to take a shower. I woke him up immediately. Abel was a little surprised when I woke him up, then immediately washed his face.

After washing his face, we walked up to them into the forest.

...----------------...

It had been half an hour walking through the forest, we still hadn't found them.

“How much longer is Abel?” I asked who started to limp.

Abel took a quick glance at me, then his gaze returned to the front. “A little more we've reached Adrian.”

I sighed, “How much longer is that? From half an hour ago you always said ‘little more’.”

Abel was a little surprised, “Eh? Do you know where the city is half an hour?”

I pointed at the sky, Abel looked at the sky and I took turns, then nodded.

Not long after, there was a pig-like sound from a distance. Abel reflex told me to stop me from moving.

There was the sound of a goal from a distance. “The boar attack was Abel!”

The ground that was completely silent, began to tremble. Seconds by seconds made the ground tremble even more.

Abel was in a position to prepare to hold his whistle made from a coconut shell.

Ngok! Ngok!

Now, the large body of the pig is visible even though we and the pig are still far away.

Oi! They hunt pigs this big?! And more every month?! I also have to prepare like them.

It didn't take long, now the pig is running towards us.

“Jump Adrian!”

I had not had time to respond, Abel had jumped first on a tree branch that was almost six meters high.

Abel took a deep breath, then blew his round whistle as loud as possible, making the movement of the boar slightly slow down.

Then, the hands appeared from the shadow of the trees and from the shadow of the boar itself that binds the body and legs of the boar.

Not only that. After the movement of the boar began to slow down, there was the sound of echoing cries from far away.

Ten times the gravity!

See the pink circle pattern accompanied by strange writings in the circle, which makes the boar more slowed down. I kept quiet seeing all that.

But, will animals just give up for their lives? The answer is definitely no. And that's why the pig is still running even though it has been slowed down many times by Abel and Tetam. But... Whose other power belongs to?

The remaining five meters the pig will hit me.

The sound of someone moving from one branch to another started to sound, it did not take long to get to where the boar was running.

The person I didn't know jumped up and slashed the boar's neck with a black-and-white shawl around its neck. The pig lay dead, with blood pouring everywhere.

Abel jumped from his branch which he made a beach to the forest boar that had been sprawled. The drops quickly followed. And...

Now there are two people with faces I don't know. Oh yeah, where are Mom and Dad?

I couldn't help my nausea seeing blood going everywhere.

Yuck...

...----------------...

“Hahahaha! You're not used to seeing blood, Adrian?” Tetam laughed, pointing at me from behind the campfire.

I cleaned my mouth from the rest of the vomit, not interested in replying to questions from Tetam.

Abel throws a few twigs to raise the flame, “Then, you too were Tetam? In fact you passed out first before seeing the boar.”

Cheeks Blubbering pissed, “Ck, Sister. It's not good to open someone's past.” Tetam smiled wryly, his eyes glaring.

Mother got up from her seat, twirling the big bolster pig.

“Oh yes Adrian, introduce the woman who is turning the bolted pig is our Mother, and the one who cut the pig's neck was our Father.” The tetam cuts off a small part of its pig skin that has been browned with a knife, then eats it directly.

I turned to the men and women who helped hunt the boar. “They're our parents? Not that our parents are old huh?”

The man and woman laughed, then turned into the old parents I knew. Then I turned into someone I didn't know.

I gasp. So, during this (three days)...

Dad got up from his seat, walked over and sat next to me, “Don't be surprised like that, it makes us as if life has been a long time.”

The mother who was turning the pigs chuckled, “Iya Nak, we are still twenty-five years old. If you ask the form of the parents, it is just our disguise.”

“Samaran?” I tilted my head forty-five degrees.

“Yes, if we use our original form every day, what do people say? ‘Have many small children whose faces do not look like-similar to his parents’”

The rolled pig was ripe, Abel took a lot of dishes and gave them to Mom. Dad stood up to help Mom cut the pigs.

“We are all not the children of Father and Mother, Adrian. We are bought by them from criminals who still sell humans, especially children.” Abel.

Tetam took a plate containing large wild boar meat until it filled the contents of the plate, “What Abel said, we were only bought by them. And they also do not tell us that we are the children of the sale. Therefore, they change their form into old and wrinkled parents.”

He cut and took two large plates of pork, sat down next to me and gave me one.

Abel and Mom are the same. The five of us ate wild boar meat from our hunt.

Eiiitts... You guys said I wasn't contributing? Hahah, wrong big. I also contribute to know! So bait, hehe...
