Second Eye

Jil, Mysterious Figure

Not felt, the night has come. After I had performed the Isya', I approached Raisha again. Which just happened to finish all the remaining customer orders. Before Yumna gives another order.

"Sister, rest up. All the orders were fulfilled" I said hand him warm chocolate.

"thank you. You still in college?" tanyanya began, as we sat in the kitchen alone tonight.

"Yes, Brother. What age are my kids?"

" Three years, her name is Louisa. Wait, um.... Here's the picture," Raisha's sister points to a picture of a little girl from her dress.

"Beautiful, does it look like her father?" guess me because it doesn't look so much like Raisha's sister.

"Yes, he's a real daddy."

"So sure, it's a real pity to be with him, hopefully he can make you proud someday" I pray for the future of the boy.

"Amiinu. It must be a real darling. That's why if I get married again one day, that's all I hope for. My husband can love me, like his own son."

"Aamiinu. Oh yeah, did you talk about Jil? Is she a sister candidate?" I started looking for information again.

"I also don't know, there is a feeling of comfort and worry when with him. But I myself was also confused, what was I really worried about him?"

"That volume.what was the man who accompanied my brother last night sitting on the shore of Lake Rubi?" askaku mention the name of the lake in front of this poet.

"Yes, you see me?" she was embarrassed, but it actually made me worry about their relationship.

"Emmm...Look at it, though not too clearly. Then why is he still in contact with her, if in my heart there are still worries?"

"Okay, I myself cannot interpret the contents of the heart. On the one hand, I don't want to part with him. But on the other hand, I often dream that my late husband is like blocking our closeness."

"Is there a message that your husband has ever given you in a dream?"

"There were not the slightest words that he let out. In a dream that I had experienced several times, he came and told me to stay away while sitting with Jil on the edge of this lake. Just by showing the hand directions, without speech. Does he not want me to marry again? It's selfish to be like that."

I rubbed Raisha's back, asking her to drink my drink so that she could calm her emotions a little.

"He could have left us, teetering I got up myself raising our son. Now when someone is going to help me stand up, why does it feel like it's being blocked" she continued, recalling her husband who had gone ahead of her and her son.

"Sorry before. What did my husband die of?"

"sickness. He already knew his illness after we just got married. But never told me about it, until we both had kids."

Raisha took a deep breath again, to relieve the breathing that had been disturbed by deep sadness.

"And a few months after our son was born, he started not being able to hide his illness. So often in and out of the hospital until finally died," said Raisha while looking down sad.

"What pain, brother? Stoic brother yes, everything will be beautiful in time," I said still trying to strengthen him.

" He had kidney failure, and had to leave all of us when Louisa had her second birthday. "

" Patience, Brother. May he be calm in nature. Brother can also move on, for Louisa's future sake. Then what exactly do you like about Jil? Did you ever introduce her to the family, especially Louisa? "

" He only met me at this lake. I dare not go home even though he has asked. But I was comfortable being next to him. Like someone had been standing by me from loneliness all along. After all he was handsome as well, "he said remembering the face of his lover.

" Handsome? Likewhat? "

I am the one who is curious now. What was Jil's face like in Raisha's eyes. Because all I know is that the person who was with him yesterday was not human. It was even more like a tree monster if I looked with my second eye.

"Makeh anyway, the skin is white, smooth, nose pointed, cornea black eye, just like the color of his hair. Skinny, tall, yes similar to Rey's boss but the adult version," explained Raisha with a smile imagine the face of Jil who was said to be handsome.

"Okay, fifteen minutes are done," said I sure can finish with Raisha, although actually the order is not small.

Raisha's sister and I haven't talked much. Because orders start coming in and out. Especially now the weekend, which is sure to make more and more customers. It is also open more nights than usual.

'sreet.....'

I felt like there was a black shadow watching all my actions. When I saw it too, it pierced through the door behind my body.

"Who is that?" I'm asking to make sure, human or not.

"Who, Aish?" ask Raisha who is only with me in this room.

"Don't you see anyone in the bathroom?" point me to the closed bathroom behind our backs.

"nothing. Ah, don't talk about it. We're just the two of you in this room."

In Rey's pujasera, there are only two outlets that are open until late at night. The booth where I worked with Raisha and Yumna was one of them. While the other one is at the end of the row far from where we are now.

The food stalls are lined up empty in the middle, only open until evening. Because they've opened their stores from morning, before two outlets including us are open to customers.

"Maybe it's just the wind" I said trying to close the conversation, so that Raisha's sister doesn't think anything.

"Hopefully."

"Eh, this is ready to be delivered to the customer, right? How come Yumna's tumbens and Tissa hasn't come back here to take orders?" I peeked out from behind the door.

From a distance, customers look boisterous. Yumna and Tissa were also wara-wiri cleaning his desk, because there was one night employee who did not enter today.

"Here, let me just deliver. That's another dish just plating, can't you?"

"Can, Brother! Did I just take you there?" I asked because it was not good at the request of Raisha's sister who wanted to bring her own food.

"Let me. Rather than me having to live alone here, after you spoke strangely earlier. Yes, I'm ahead for a minute!" said brother Raisha left this place, while carrying a tray filled with food.

One by one, my vegetables were cut to beautify and complement this dish. But suddenly, my hair started to stand up.

"Who? Come out if you dare, don't just peek around here" I said looking around still quiet, because I was alone.

The distance from the kitchen of the booth where I am, with the edge of the lake is the farthest in this pujasera. So the atmosphere is crowded there, only incense is heard from this kitchen.

"Don't interfere, if you don't want to get hurt here!"

The sound of an invisible figure echoed in the ears.

"Who are you? Whatdoyouwant?"

No more quiet, no more answers. So curious, I finally began to try to find, leaving behind the vegetables I just cut.

"Who are you?"

There was still no answer, until I turned my head out of the kitchen to find the source of the sound.

"Well, where is everything?" I murmured when I saw no one out there.

This poet saw no one. Whereas, just now when I looked to find Yumna and Tissa, there were still many people passing by there.

"Show me your form!" I shouted as I began to play with that figure.
