The After I Die

Peace

Peace.

One word to describe the current situation of the village.

This is already the third day since the village cleansing ritual was held, the village situation is normal like the village in general, there is no longer a village law that limits their activities at night, coffee shops at night began to open their halls, torch lights were lit on every street corner adding to the lively atmosphere of the night, every citizen began to sit on the terrace, he said, rejoice and enjoy the dark atmosphere that was once gripping, looking at the stars in the sky.

The echoes of the bells also no longer rang, as if signaling the village rules that bound them were erased along with the fire that had become smoke, everyone in Damung village no one talked about it, they all kept their mouths shut.

Kina back in her normal life, she again washed the dishes of their former shop customers, tonight quite a lot of who come to visit to buy rice hawang or just sit around drinking coffee while joking, joking, his mother's voice was sometimes heard in the pulpit, their conversation was normal, just a matter of duck penetrating into the rice fields of the harvest, absolutely nothing strange.

Everything felt perfectly normal, perhaps this was how a quiet and peaceful village life should be.

Suddenly he remembered Eda, the man had also never appeared before Kina since the village cleansing ritual, it inevitably made him wonder and wonder, too, is his attitude and attitude back again? Maybe he should pay a visit to the man's house to see if he's okay.

Kina placed the last plate on the shelf, wiped her hands with a napkin, the girl let out a long sigh, she still had the desire to go to the city deep in her heart, but for now he might delay first, remembering his father's fierce expression when he said he wanted to move to the city.

Kina out of her stall, she intends to go back to her room for a rest, tomorrow she plans to visit Eda with Dayuti, and take her to school.

The night wind blew on her nape, Kina suddenly felt shivering, she rubbed her neck and tightened her jacket, hurriedly entering the house.

Although the atmosphere of Damung village had become crowded at night, but Kina still had a paranoid feeling in her heart, night was still night, let the torch lights light up on every street corner, and still have a sense of paranoia in her heart, there were many dark sides everywhere, it made him shudder in fear.

Let's say he's a coward, it's true, Kina thinks there's no human who isn't frightened after being terrorized continuously by the undead, he's still sane at this time maybe a lucky break.

Kina had just wanted to pull her blanket to sleep when the door was tapped softly, then opened showing part of her mother's face. “Someone you want to talk about.”

Kina nodded, got up and sat leaning on the head of the bed, she felt her heart rustling strangely, her mother approached her and sat on the bed beside her with a small smile.

“Kina, forgive mom,” said the woman as she clasped Kina's hand, Kina looked at the woman's eyes, her heart felt crisp, those eyes were not the same eyes when she first saw her in town, those stern and sharp eyes now looked haggard and weak, as if there was a lot of pain that he endured.

“Mother ...”

“Mother did not mean to do all that to you,” continued the woman again, her voice trembling softly, her hand holding Kina shaking.

Kina did not understand his mother's intentions, deep in her heart she had forgiven her mother if it was about Nukas.she realized, the dead would not come back, her life indeed had to go forward to leave the past.

Seeing the woman begin to shed tears made her heart throb pain, not heart, she nodded slowly, along with her tears as well. “Mother, I've forgiven you, don't cry.”

The woman hurriedly rubbed her cheeks, smiling little, she carried Kina into her arms, rubbing her son's back.

Kina who was hugged suddenly felt her body freeze, tears immediately seeped profusely, she raised her hands, hugged her mother back, for the first time she felt her mother's warm embrace, she said, it felt very comfortable, making all his anxiety evaporate into the air.

Kina was happy with this small thing, the feeling was explosive and she could not bear it, she choked, crying because she was happy.

The hug came off, Kina was not willing, her mother smiled at her, then her clasped hand stroked her face, Kina did nothing, enjoyed her mother's affection.

“You know .. mom loves you more than anything.”

Her mother held Kina's hand again, the girl nodding happily, implying she approved of her mother's remark.

“You also love mom, ‘kan?” Asked the woman while looking straight at Kina's eyes.

Kina thoughtlessly nodded with a smile. “Yes, I love mom.”

The woman smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, she chuckled softly. “Mommy has a request, will you grant it?”

Kina continued to nod with a heart that felt light. “What is it?”

Her mother who was in front of her was currently acting as sweet as sugar, Kina just thought that her mother's attitude would continue like this towards her. Kina felt the atmosphere of her room become colder, she and her mother looked at each other for a while.

“Do not interfere with the village problem,” said his mother coldly, the look on his face changed in an instant.

Kina felt her hand suddenly have been tied by the rope to the foot of the bed, she looked up in panic.

“Mother, what are you doing? Why am I tied up?!” Kina yelled, the woman caught her hand, tied it again to the foot of the bed next to her, forcing Kina to lie on the forced bed.

“Mother said, do not interfere with the village problem.”

Kina rebelled, her hands tied strongly, she kicked into the air, her feet caught quickly by her mother, she screamed, her legs again got the same treatment, tied at each foot of the bed.

“Mother!” Kina screamed, thrashing helplessly on the bed, the blanket she had been wearing rolled up, the pillows falling to the floor, Kina shook her head as the woman approached while carrying a piece of cloth, pulled his head rough and tied it to his mouth.

Kina shouted, her voice quickly muffled by the cloth that bound her mouth, her head dropped, drooping on the bed, her tears racing down her cheeks.

Kina did not understand, why did her mother do this to her? What exactly is going on? His mother was so sweet and warm, why was she suddenly so cruelly shackled like this? What harm?

What's wrong with her mother?

The woman looked at him with a sad face, she stroked Kina's face again, sitting next to her daughter's face.

“Im sorry, mom.”
