*****
Siren awakens as he smells the fragrant aroma of the grilled meat that Dean cooks over the coals. Looks Dean just dumped the skin and dirt on the pig prey. The oil element contained in the meat seemed to melt and drip him over the embers, which gave rise to a slight spark.
Not much different from the Siren, Aru who smelled the delicious aroma also woke up and wanted to see who had made the aroma of the taste.
"Are you awake?" dean asked as he saw Siren coming down from the tree house.
"Yes. You hunt by yourself? your catch is pretty big, and you cook it whole."
"Yes. I don't want to wake you up looking so tired. Today I got a fat pig and I roasted it whole. Consider this a gift after our ritual, after the meat is cooked we'll go to the baba's house to share it."
Dean sees Aru coming down from the house, the man's eyes look puffy and have a black circumference under his eyelids.
"Why you?" ask Dean.
"What's the reason?"
"Didn't you sleep all night?"
"Who do you think makes me sleepless all night? even the apes and the tigers ran over to hear your commotion last night."
Dean glanced at Siren. The woman's face suddenly turned red from hearing Aru's words.
"Look at that word of yours. You can say anything to me, but not to my wife."
"Bikin just get upset," Aru grumbled.
"Sirens. Better clean yourself, the meat will soon be ripe. We'll eat together after you get back,"
"Emm." Siren nodded his head.
Sirens immediately went down the river to clean themselves up. The woman took a long soak there.
"Remember your words. Sirens are plain women and do not understand many things. But that doesn't mean he doesn't fully understand what you're saying. I've never seen him cry, so don't you ever dare make him cry more than me."
"Makanya, can you pay attention to others as well? here who lives not only the two of you, can't you do it like it doesn't make a sound?"
"can't. Maybe I can, but not with Siren. How could I forbid him to speak. We're just expressing what we feel when we do."
Aru who was upset immediately wanted to pluck the hot meat that was above the coals.
"Youuu..." Aru shook his hand because the meat was still too hot.
"Have you become a fool? it was still hot, especially the meat was not yet perfectly cooked. You idiot!"
"You are stupid, your whole family is stupid, and you have a stupid wife."
Tukkkk
Dean furiously hit Aru on the head with a tree branch that he used to keep the embers gathered in the middle.
"It looks like you really like asking me to fight. Just be careful if you dare to call my wife a fool again. Next time it's this ember I put in your head."
"You just had a wife like that already dared to be rude to me,"
"That's what you mean, like what? you said it to me, like you already have a wife. Don't you envy me, huh?"
"I? envying you?" aru asked while pointing at herself.
"Ehemmm, uh,"
The sound of someone deheman made the two young men who were arguing become silent instantly.
"Is the meat ripe?" ask Pakuo.
"A little while Ba." Answer Dean.
"Where's Siren?" ask Pakuo.
"He was cleaning himself up in the river there."
Pakuo sat on a chair made of logs.
"Sizely big catch. How can cooking like this make the meat ripen evenly?" ask Pakuo.
"Our fairies used to do it a lot. Usually when we get some big catches and roast them in a crowd. We just need to keep the embers burning, over time the meat will ripen to the inside."
"Elect uncle. Pure humans have succeeded in developing a plant that can make the taste of meat much better" Aru said.
"really? what plant is it?"
"They call it chili, it feels hot on the tongue. But it's much better when we eat together with meat that's already covered with salt." Answer Aru.
"What plants have been developed by pure humans in your forest?"
"Very many Uncle. Especially the different types of vegetables. Because there are pure humans who do not like to eat bloody animals. They prefer to eat fish and vegetables."
Aru told Pakuo a lot of things with great enthusiasm. Dean just kept quiet, because of the guilt that struggled in his heart. Sirens who just arrived, pay attention to the motion of Aru's lips that tell a fairly smooth story with an occasional laugh. But when she saw Dean who was silent, with the occasional flipping of the grilled meat, Siren seemed to understand that her husband's feelings were now not okay.
"Is the meat ripe? I'm very hungry" Siren said.
Aru, Pakuo and Dean turned their heads. Dean's smile suddenly rose upon seeing his wife's arrival.
"Come here, you can taste it first" Dean said.
"Let Baba taste it first" Siren said.
"Yes, I almost forgot. Baba, we will consider today a day of celebration for my ritual with Siren. As a sign of respect, I want Baba to cut the meat for the first time,"
Without saying much, Pakuo picked up the tool used to cut meat. The fragrant aroma and smoke billowing from the open flesh, made their stomachs suddenly hungry instantly.
"It's the most delicious meat I've ever eaten" Pakuo said.
Dean was happy to get compliments from his father-in-law. Dean took over the cutlery, and sliced the meat pretty deep. Dean gave the Siren a second piece of meat, so that his wife could enjoy it immediately. After that Dean cuts the meat back to give it to Aru, and then just to himself.
After they were full, they talked for a moment to lower the meat they ate until the bottom of the stomach.
"Prophe come home first,"
"Going home? baba just stay here" said Siren.
Pakuo glanced at Dean who was silent. The man understood what was on the young man's mind at the moment.
"You have to teach Siren a lot of things, not his fault for not understanding anything. But it is indeed the circumstances that make it like this," Pakuo said as he patted his son-in-law's shoulder.
"I understand Ba. I also have a lot to learn. We're both raised by nature, but the difference is I'm a little luckier than Siren."
"good. Siren, stay with your husband. Next time Baba will visit you again,"
However, Pakuo's words were not written by Siren at all. The girl suddenly stared from a distance and immediately dropped to the ground. Pakuo saw Siren doing so looking to frown his forehead, especially as the woman pressed her ear to the ground.
No one knows the Siren's heart is currently being hammered. Women who have sensitive senses, can hear the roar of footsteps that are getting closer to them. Seeing the anxious face on his wife's face, Dean approached the woman and made Siten wake up from the ground.
"What's wrong?"
"I could feel there were so many footsteps coming here."
"What-what? is that true? but I didn't hear it at all" asked Dean.
"Only a pure human can freely enter this forest. But what do they want?" Pakuo.
Siren instincts are so sensitive can feel, if this is not a good sign for them. For the first time Siren felt fear in her, the woman suddenly clasped tightly onto Dean's hand as if she did not want to be separated.
