SPIRIT CHILD

11. BETWEEN REGRET OR NOT

Tina still looks dazed "Denger what ?" he asked back.

The sound of that knock was still clearly heard by me.

He should have heard it too

I tried to direct his hearing, because I believe his life is still half collected it could be the reason he was not ready to respond

"Try well" I said

Finally Tina tried to hear what I meant, she began to wake up from her sleep and followed my request

His ears he put well towards the door but unfortunately by the time Tina was really willing to hear, the knocking sound was gone

The atmosphere was silent again

"There was no sound" he said, but even so he was still curious.

He still wants to try to hear a voice that makes me panic

But I have to keep telling him that the sound of the knocking full of anger is true

"So there was a sound that hit the door, the beginning slowly continued to fast like angry" I explained

Tina thought for a moment "Maybe it's Rima, kali" she guessed

I dodged it because I wasn't sure of Tina's guess

"But there's a girl laughing" I said

"Yes means really if it's Rima bring her child" he said just relax

But I'm sure it's not Rima

"Ih, it makes no sense at this hour that he knocked on the door carrying his son too. Saying "my objection

"Yes, he might want to sleep with us" he said

I shook my head, and I became increasingly suspicious that this house was not in order

It could be in this big house many residents but Rima and her family cover it

"There's no way Tin, if it's really Rima, he's not doing it while calling our names. He can call you or the cave if the door is not opened. Besides the logic he must know at this hour we are good to sleep so there is no way he came as good as him" I argue

Tina was silent trying to absorb my rebuttal

"But the cave doesn't hear anything, Nis. What because this cave sleep sleeps kebo yes" he said instead joking

I breathed "Tomorrow we go home aja yuk" I asked sertamerta

Hearing him Tina was even indifferent he went back to sleep turning his body the same as the beginning

"I think you're ngigau deh" he cueknya while pulling the blanket

But I tried to convince her again I should be able to make Tina believe me

"The cave does not lie Tin, from earlier the cave can not sleep so where might the cave ngigau" I press

Fortunately Tina still appreciates my curses and she finally turned her body towards me

"Here you go, tomorrow morning we don't tell anyone about this. We pretend that nothing is happening now. And we must not show fear to them for fear that they will offend the host as if his house were a cage of demons. Later if for example our suspicions about the creatures in this house increasingly unfriendly to us. We go home well without talking in that direction" he said very wisely

I nodded "OK, too, your idea" agreed

Tina turned back "Jaudah now we sleep" he said

I am quite relieved to hear his decision even though I actually want to go home right now.

At six o'clock in the morning greeting, the sounds of birds and other animals from within the forest rang out deep breaking the cold of the morning

I was still a little lazy to get out of bed. But when I squinted my eyes, Tina was no longer beside me

In a hurry I sat up and looked for him with all my eyes, and I finally saw him outside the window standing on the balcony facing the forest.

I let out a breath, a sign of feeling safe that he didn't leave me alone.

Without a second thought I went straight to him. Walking slowly towards him who was still silent behind me

I called her slowly "Tin. You wake up" I said

The more I approached his back I was immediately presented with a very beautiful view. The vast forest that was still shrouded in a beautiful morning mist was faintly visible from far away some mountains like a beautiful painting

I subconsciously said "Wow, really pretty" I muttered as I stepped closer to Tina.

At the same time the door of the room was opened, I suddenly looked at him. My mind says that the one who came was Rima

"Nissa, let's have breakfast !" take Tina.

When I saw her standing in the mouth of the door, I panicked and immediately looked at Tina who had been looking back at me.

She disappeared but I'm sure I saw her figure. I'm also sure that's Tina even if she turns her back on me

Apparently the real Tina was Tina who had just invited me to breakfast.

Fortunately Tina understood when she saw the look on my face that was clearly frightened, my mouth was trembling as if it was difficult to talk about what had just happened.

Tina stepped towards me curiously

"Lu why else Nis ?" the question got closer and then stood right in front of me

He also patted me on the shoulder as if he wanted to wake me up, at least trying to make me a little calmer

"Don't tell me you're feeling weird again ?" heed

I was still panicking but my mouth was locked.

I shake my head

But Tina was still curious "Continue why your face looks so scared like this, what are you hearing now ?" he said looking in every direction

But Tina still wants to patiently wait for me to calm down "Okay, now you take a breath and then you pray in your heart. You are sincere about what you have seen or felt" he said

Hearing him I tried to calm down though it wasn't so easy for me.

A few moments later I finally calmed down enough to explain what I saw.

But I just started talking, Rima came to pick us up

"You've been a long time, all waiting for you downstairs. We had breakfast together" he said

Tina and I turned around but tried to give her a happy look so she wouldn't suspect us.

Me and Tina just didn't want to hurt her because of our attitude that might have been rude

Tina smiled then stepped quickly towards Rima "Oh yes, until she forgot. Because of the view of the cold air so much that I forgot. Sorry yes "he said while holding Rima's hand to get out of the room immediately

Fortunately Rima smiled and did not see that he was suspicious of our attitude

While I also carried Tina's smile and followed their steps to the dining room

On the big table was already full of various dishes. There is syrup, toast, fried rice, fried noodles, coffee, milk, fried chicken there is even a large plate of putu ayu in black and red. Though who ate Rima's two in-laws, Rima's husband, Rima, me and Tina.

But again I did not see Rima's son

At the beginning of the meeting this morning before sitting down with them I greeted them very sweetly "For all" I said

Likewise with Tina who also greeted "Morning as well as all" he said

The eyes of those who had been staring since our arrival seemed to give the impression that they had waited a long time but even so they still returned our greetings, they kindly greeted back "Morning too!" reply them

Without being told to sit by any of them, Tina and I had already taken a sitting position.

Tina sat beside me, and beside her was Rima.

Beside Rima an empty seat, then beside the empty seat was her husband.

Her parents were sitting next to us

Maybe the empty seat was for Rima's son who hadn't come yet

Rima's mother-in-law was so friendly to entertain us, she did not hesitate to give us each a piece of fried chicken

"Take it yes, it's the mother's cook" he said

I nodded in disdain "Yes thanks Mom" I replied with a smile

Some time eating together apparently Tina could not bear to ask the whereabouts of Rima's children.

"Rima, where's your son ?" tannya

A question that shouldn't make Rima look stiff

"Oh, he's still in the room. He has a fever" he said

"That's a pity, I'll see. Can you ?" Tina Pint

But Rima's mother-in-law quickly replied

"It is better not, because he was still a child afraid later if he was visited by just anyone could get worse" he said

I who have eaten ravenously since then so join in the chat "Have you been taken to the doctor, Mom ?" ask yourself to be concerned

Ma'am Atik smiled "Already, yesterday afternoon. But it looks like today let the doctor come here. He was afraid that he would be exhausted if taken out" he said
