SPIRIT CHILD
15. TINA DISAPPOINTED



Me and Tina turned towards the sound


Then the voice seemed to stop us on the balcony.


Tina and I went back into the room.


Tina closed the balcony door again while I stepped in to open the door that had been still soft


"Tok.tok.button.tok"


I carefully opened it


Kreech


But no one was standing at the door.


I was a little scared but tried to exterminate it by reading a prayer


My door closes back


With a flat face I returned to the mattress, on the mattress Tina had already laid her body, supine hugging bolsters


Tina noticed the look on my face, astonished that she asked


"Who's Nis ?" tannya


I raised both my shoulders


"Don't know" I said slowly


Not yet to sit in a mattress at the same time the sound of knocking was heard again and this time a bit loud


"Tok.tokkk...tokk !!!"


I just turned towards the sound but this time it was Tina who took the initiative to open the door


Kreech


From behind Tina I could see the mouth of the door clearly, if Tina also did not see anyone from behind the door.


But Tina turned her head to the side of the stairs as if looking at something from her two eyes.


Not long later without saying anything Tina closed the door and then sighed with a calm look


He went back to the bed and pulled the blanket


I wonder who he saw


"Who's Tin ?" much


"His son Rima is a prankster. Just now he was caught continuing to run down the stairs" he said casually as he began his sleep


Hearing his explanation I just kept silent not shaking a word


I don't know why I can't believe what Tina saw was Rima's son


I'm sure there must be a secret in this house. But I don't know what to show you.


Morning was back again even though last night was disturbed by strange things but last night I was able to sleep well.


As usual at seven o'clock in the morning Tina and I went down to the dining room. Because on the previous day something like this has become a habit to have breakfast with the Rima family.


But apparently the dining room is empty, there is no one, even the dining table is clean of dishes that are usually full of food every morning.


Me and Tina just stood quietly in front of the table and looked at each other.


As if I didn't know what to do


I whispered to Tina


"Don't let us cook ourselves" I said


Tina smiled, she felt that my words just now were just a joke to her


"The cook should be you, yes" he said


I sighed fretfully "Hemmm"


At the same time Rima came from behind us, she came not to take us to breakfast but to give us news


"Good morning guys !" the sap sounds cheerful


His attitude was different from the usual morning


Me and Tina then turned to look at him, the look on his face was not as usual. He looks so full of joy. Maybe because his son has a birthday today


I also did not miss greeting her back "Good morning too, Rima !" I'm sweetly broom


Likewise with Tina also replied to her greeting "Mother's as well "sweep


"You must be hungry, I made you some bread and some hot milk ?" he said offer it to us


It was actually a good idea but Tina and I quickly rejected it.


Of course because we're not happy with him


Tina immediately refused "No need to Rima, let me and Nissa make their own" he said


Then I agreed with a nod


Fortunately Rima was not offended by our refusal


"OK deh if that is so, then you will make it as you please huh. I'm going to the garden first. Want to clean the garden" he said while releasing his embrace and then wanted to leave


But I hurriedly prevented him from "Rima !" call me


Rima looked quickly


"Yes !" answerable


"We want to take a phone, because we'll be home soon" I asked


Hearing so Rima changed the look of her face to a little flat


"Owh, I'm sorry, by any chance, you guys just brought my in-laws to town. Later in the day they will bring it again here" he explained


Tina and I looked at each other in wonder


Hearing so I and Tina felt confused why they had to be taken to the city.


"Huh !"


But here Tina who looks very disappointed with Rima


"No, we could have our hape taken. What's it for ?" tannya


Rima smiled stiffly, she began to understand that Tina did not like the way her family did


"Your phones can't fill a battery so the same in-laws I brought to the city to check today . The mother who brought it said they all went to the city for a while said there was business" he explained


But Tina still does not want to accept the explanation because I know very well that the gap is worth one motorbike.


He was afraid the hape was gone


"But why didn't you say it first ?" said Tina


Rima who began to feel cornered finally could only try to calm Tina's heart


"You take it easy Tin, hape you and hape Nissa will be safe. This is all for your good so that you will come home from here, hape you are alive" he explained


Hearing Rima's explanation, Tina finally could not say anything more.


His mouth seemed to be locked


At the same time Rima returned to us


"I go to the garden first, I want to clean up. Maybe half an hour is done. You guys have breakfast first. Later if my two in-laws and my husband come home take your hape I will definitely return it to you "he said


I nodded "Iya Rima" I said


But Tina was silent, she was still irritated by the unilateral decision of the Rima family.


And I as his close friend always try to calm his feelings


"Yes Tin, later also back again hapenya. We better make breakfast first yuk" take me


But Tina refused it outright


"The cave's not hungry !" he said as he walked away leaving me


Apparently his mood got messed up because of the news this morning.


Seeing Tina go not want breakfast, finally want to not want me to decide not to eat breakfast too.


I'd rather follow Tina to the room. As a loyal friend


This morning it is Thursday, it is time for the birthday of his son Rima to be held at what time there is no certainty


A single strand of party trinkets is not installed.


The atmosphere this morning was still the same as the previous day, the atmosphere was quiet and cold even Rima's children had not been shown his figure since we came to this house.


Tina continued to walk up the stairs without caring for me behind her until she finally passed Rima's room first


Tina did not realize that the door of Rima's room was open a little.
