Kina brought Eda into her house through the back door, he slipped into the kitchen, bent his head through the door, the window was tightly closed, so that the light did not enter the house, Kina frowned when she felt her feet touch a warm liquid on the floor.
“Home home, Son?” Her father's voice greeted her, the window suddenly opened, Kina was pecking with a stiff body, her father had been standing in front of her while holding a blood-soaked kitchen knife, his eyes glaring at Kina, his eyes glaring at her, her lips were turned to a terrible grin.
What's his father doing?
“BRAK!”
Kina flinched, her father's head hit with wood, she found her mother standing with her chest covered in blood, the woman coughed.
“Run! Quick run from here! Go to town!” His mother pointed outside, Kina was stunned, his father got up and pushed his wife down on the floor, his mother fell with a thud, he pulled a knife into Kina, Eda immediately pulled it, the knife stuck on the door.
“Mother!”
“Kina, run! Quick run before you become a tumbala!” The woman again shouted with her pitiful appearance, her eyes were red and looked at her son with grief, Her father drew a knife again, Eda dragged Kina with a step, Kina's mind felt empty and she was dazed.
His father intended to finish his life with a knife, not only that, but his mother as well.
“Back you, damned child!” The father shouted, Kina snapped consciously, she ran out of the house and followed Eda with fear, her trembling legs she was forced to step wide, they did not know where else to go, besides running into town.
His father's shout apparently invited other citizens, they came and followed after Kina with various kinds of weapons, as if they were hunting wild animals that entered their village.
Kina felt her heart almost come out of her mouth, she ran through the forest with Eda, her breathing was breathless no matter what, she did not dare to look back, the villagers were bustling after them.
Their feet stepped on the village border, the small road leading to the tall grass-covered city was breached, Kina and Eda continued to run until the voices of the villagers could no longer be heard behind them.
Kina opened her mouth, Eda took her to the edge of the bridge, the day was starting to evening, the orange light in the sky began to glow, they could not run any further in the forest, they could not run any further, it was possible that other dangers would greet them first.
“We must hide.” Eda made a sound with his red face, they crossed the small bridge carefully, the water rippled beneath him, Eda looked back, then sighed softly the villagers were not chasing them anymore at this time, and he looked back, he glanced at the water under the bridge and was stunned.
The black shadow was not only behind Kina, but also behind her, she was pensive.
“Eda, what's up?”
“No,” said Eda with trembling lips, his chest rustling in fear, he gulped. “We must be fast.”
Kina nodded stiffly, they had already crossed the bridge, near the big tree they saw a female silhouette sitting leaning under the tree. Kina and Eda stopped vigilantly.
“It's me ...” Dayuti turned his head and looked up at Kina, her tears were broken on her cheeks, it seemed that she had been crying for a long time, her eyes were swollen and red.
“Dayuti? What happened?” Kina approached and helped Dayuti stand up, the girl hugged Kina while crying sobbing.
“Kakakku ... my brother ... already ....” Dayuti was unable to say anything else he cried loudly.
Eda just quietly behind the two girls, he stared fixedly at Dayuti, his forehead wrinkled with wonder.
“We have to go from here,” Dayuti said in a stunned manner, her pale lips trembling. “I remember the way.”
Kina glanced at Eda, then nodded stiffly. The three of them walked slowly while staring around with misgivings, their feet treading mud, occasionally scratched twigs and shrubs on the side of the road, Kina frowned as she felt the road they were going through was getting muddy.
“Are you sure we're on the right path?” Kina asked as she turned to Dayuti, the girl beside her looked up and turned to and fro, she stopped her steps.
“Kina, forgive me.”
“ARGH!”
Eda screamed loudly, his chest was stabbed by a knife from behind, he coughed, the pain was so intense right in his heart, the blood seeped out of control.
Dayuti stared at Kina with tears in her eyes, Eda who was behind Kina suddenly collapsed falling to the ground. Kina turned her head, she widened her eyes, a woman standing with a knife covered in blood, it was Sayuti.
Eda felt his breathing falter, he looked at Kina, his lips opened and closed, hinting for Kina to run away immediately.
“What are you doing?” Kina fell down and held onto Eda's hand, her tears falling out of control, she looked up at the two sisters with a faint look.
“I'm sorry, I want to live.”
Dayuti sobbed, she threw away Kina's face, while Sayuti stared flatly, she seemed to have no emotions at all.
Eda coughed and bled out, his breathing getting shorter and his body becoming colder, the closer to his end, he was on Kina's lap at the moment, his gaze started to blur, the closer he got to death, he saw another body hanging over their heads, it was Arna who a few hours ago gave them a warning, supposedly Eda trusted Arna.
Eda closed his eyes slowly. Kina sees Arna's corpse, dayuti and Sayuti take turns, she cries loudly.
“What do you want? Why kill so many people?”
Sayuti pulled out Kina's hand, forcing her to stand up, Eda fell onto the muddy ground and no longer moved, Kina screamed loudly, Eda fell to the ground, he could not accept the fact that the friend he trusted the most just died in front of him, he roared and thrashed, remembering the blood that poured out on his mother's chest, recalling Nukas hanging from the tree, how many people nearby had died horribly?
Will it end up like them too?
the villagers came swarming them from all directions, he was carried violently, no matter how violently he rebelled and shouted, his body held tightly, he was brought back to the village helplessly, he said, his ears were buzzing loudly, his head was throbbing in pain, he felt his body cold, his senses he no longer wanted to breathe, everything felt terrible.
Kina closed her eyes, she heard the villagers sayup-sayup talking about a language she did not understand, she just kept quiet and kept crying, secretly regretting her decision, she said, he should never have intended to return to the village of his birth, he should have remained in the city alone, it was okay to live alone, as long as he did not meet with this madness.
Now, the rice has become porridge, it will have the same fate as Nukas, it is fine. At least he could know Nukas during his life.
