"Why Madam? What's my fault?"
Joko's figure inched backwards and crashed into the rock wall. He could not remove the fear and horror from every inch of his body. How not, in front of him a dancer is moving smoothly dancing a dance that is actually very beautiful. Eve was frightened when she saw the dancer's head that seemed to be broken on the collarbone. As a result, the head was tilted to the side at an awkward angle and moved irregularly. It was in stark contrast to the movements on his body.
An already unbearable fear made Joko consciously ask for ma*ti only. His eyes and mind could no longer see and think of the real thing before him that was emitting horror. Lucky for him. Ayodya still took pity on him due to the man's devotion for a while. So finally, quickly something beats that is the center of his body is forcibly snatched away while he is still in a conscious state.
"Goodbye, my lord." That was the last sentence Joko heard.

"We can not give rice box carelessly again Pakde. There was a case of poisoning here that caused our rice gift box. And society will certainly directly associate it with previous events if we do the same. Too risky." Ayodya looked at Pakde and Budhe. "Is there a solution?"
With a witty Budhe opened his voice. "How about we keep making boxed rice, but we're spreading it to a remote Nduk orphanage? Budhe was offered this afternoon by one of our neighbors. He said they had a routine agenda to provide assistance to hospitals, orphanages and nursing homes. Budhe feels pretty safe if we send the rice box over there."
Ayodya was silent for a moment, "Good idea Budhe. Maybe we can do it. In the news mentioned if poisoning cases occur in people who live on the streets. I think we can make a change of plan by giving it to an orphanage or something remote. If there is another case of poisoning, we can avoid because it is not only us who donate. What about Pakde?"
Pakde nodded in agreement. "Pakde thinks we can do that Nduk. Incidentally, in a corner near here stands a mental hospital. We can start there."
"Tomorrow to take me there, sirde. I have to see the situation there for myself. We must routinely donate others first before we finally give rice boxes. Joko's body is strong how long in the freezer?" ask Ayodya.
"One month Nduk."
Ayodya nodded and got up passing towards her ritual room.

"Hey dancer!"
Ayodya was surprised and turned around seeing a pair of eyes looking at her with great enthusiasm and curiosity.
"Just ignore Nduk. It's a mental hospital, and some of the patients here aren't just mentally ill. Some are also stuck due to someone's delivery. Just understand," Pakde who was standing next to him made a sound.
"Let's just go in. The hospital manager will drive us around after we agree to be regular donors here."
Ayodya nodded and followed Pakde into the management room.

"This is the building with the highest level of security. Residents here suffer from serious mental illness and are in real danger to the community" explained the manager of the mental hospital in Ayodya and Pakde.
"How many patients are there in this building? Was it deliberately set apart from the others?" Pakde asked as if enthusiastic.
The woman before him smiled, "There is only one patient sir. One patient with an exceptional criminal background at a very young age. It is created separately to reduce interaction with people who are not interested. Later we can see it from the window where it used to sit."
Ayodya looked at a beautiful girl who was staring blankly at the garden.
"Name Bella."
As if hearing their conversation, the empty eyes of the girl being talked about turned to stare at Ayodya coldly and piercingly.

Budhe looked at Ayodya who got down from the foreign car. His forehead creased when he saw the other three people coming down.
"Sister, the car broke down right in the middle of the road. Fortunately there were these good people who gave me a ride," Ayodya said before Budhe opened his voice.
Budhe put on a smile and offered them to stop by for tea. But it was subtly rejected by the three.
"I'm sorry, we still have to take our friend home, so maybe next time we'll drop by for his tea invitation" one of them said politely and was taken in by the others.
"Thank you very much for your help. If you know what your name is?" said Budhe
They each spoke their names in a friendly manner.
"All right then. Come back here sometime Cyril, Galih and Ara," Budhe smiled. "Thank you again."
He said goodbye and entered the car. Budhe and Ayodya wait until the car disappears from view.
As he was about to turn around, Budhe looked towards Ayodya's neck. "Sir, why is that his neck? It must be a pain."
Ayodya walked slowly into the house and immediately sat down on the sofa. "Well, Budhe, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know."
Budhe still looked at Ayodya with a worried look.
"I feel incredibly limp. It seems like Amira's body I can't use much longer. This body is too weak. It's time for me to find a new body, Budhe," Ayodya said softly.
"Have you found a new target in Nduk hospital?"
Ayodya. "No Budhe, not the guy from the hospital. I think the girl who just dropped me off is perfect for me to use. Although it looks small, I can see if his body is strong."
Budhe nodded in understanding. "Rest first Nduk, we'll talk later."
Ayodya rose towards her room under the worried gaze of Budhe.
