THE GENIUS MAN

15. Rosmarin Flowers

When the chickens started crowing, Barra immediately woke up and tidied up his belongings. He also went down and woke Sindi, Banda and Putri. Barra then went back inside her room, picking up the clothes she was going to use the next few days. He also pulled a big bag to reach his needs.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

Barra turned towards the open door where her mother was standing. Barra's mother walked in with a flat and cold gaze.

"Are you going?" ask Barra's mother.

"Yes, I can't linger here. I have to find a cure for this disease" said Barra, who continued his work.

"Mom agrees and fully supports you. I just want to hug you with the Princess. Like what you do when you feel sad, tired of coming home from work, and miss your father." explained Barra as she sat on the edge of Barra's bed.

Barra stared fixedly at her mother's face, also feeling sad as her mother felt. Barra's tears started to heat up, wanting to fall. This always tough boy tried not to cry in front of his mother.

"Barra apologizes if it's troubling mom. Barra only asks for one thing, please take care of your health and do not get infected. Barra will be very sad if that happens" said Barra who wants to hug her mother at this time. She needs warmth from a mother's embrace. But he had to hide his intentions.

"Abang, let's go!" the princess shouted from below. Barra and Barra's mother immediately came down where everyone had gathered.

"Mom, Princess asks for prayer. When the Princess comes back later, the Princess is fully healed so that we can be together again. You can also go back to kissing the Princess, holding the Princess." said the Princess with a sweet smile.

"Mom will always pray for you. Hurry home, I must miss." said Barra's mother who tried to look tough.

Sindi and Banda asked for a break. The door of the house in Ipul opens and gives Barra and his friends a way to get out.

Door.. Door.. The door...

They were surprised by the sound of gunfire. The cat closes the door and locks it back. Barra and Banda stared at each other with confused faces.

"What's outside?" asked Barra's mother who examined her from the window of her house. He was surprised to see some police officers carrying shots and kept shooting towards the strange man who was running towards him.

Door.. Door.. Door..

"What's up, ma'am?" asked the confused Princess looking at her mother's facial expression.

"Police carry fire and attack strange people." whispered Barra's mother.

"Other than this? Why are they attacking him?" ask Banda who is getting curious.

Ipul runs turn on tivi and searches for newscasts. They all turned to listen to the reporter who spoke on the news.

[Viewers, today the government made an announcement that all people infected with strange and contagious diseases should be killed immediately. Police officers have found the hiding places of infected patients making the facts worse if scientists can not stop this strange disease. This strange disease is believed to make humans act not like humans. I would say Zombie is not. Vampires could be. These humans bite and attack humans to death. To avoid this, the government also intervened and asked the police for help to kill anyone who was stricken with this strange disease. There is no choice but to kill. Thank you.]

"It's really ridiculous. They don't understand what it's like to be those with infected families. It must be very hard hit with this news." said Banda who was getting angry.

"What should we do? Detaining cops killing them? Don't be silly, the cops are gonna shoot us first. Remember, we are also infected." said Sindi while crossing both hands.

"Not scientists have found a cure for tetular people but are still in the first stage, everyone should be given the drug so as not to get sick again." sahut Barra who still sees the news in tivi.

"Then, how? What are you guys gonna do?" asked Ipul who had been listening silently.

"Take the Rosmarin flower plant so that it can be made medicine and give to people who have been attacked. Later we will see the results of what this drug is really powerful." proposed Barra.

"Rosmarin Flowers? you're gonna get it where Barra is?" ask the confused looking Ipul.

"Calm down, anyways in front of the road there. I just need a little to test." Barra replied casually.

"Rosmarin's flowers are over. A few weeks ago, many people came and took it by force. Mr. Rt just kept quiet, he did not dare to stop them because seeing their uniforms is not just anyone." explained Ms. Barra.

"What's? already taken? Where else do we get Rosmarin flowers?" said the princess who became upset.

"How much do you need, son?" I asked Barra while looking at Barra.

"Not much, ma'am. If there's one, I'll take it." said Barra, making her mother nod.

"Then you wait here. I'm going to Rt's sir's house. After the mother, Mr. Rt must have strayed some in his house" said Barra's mother who rushed out of the house with a sneak. Although Barra was afraid, she could not hinder her mother.

They wait and wait until the door is knocked. The Ipul rose up quickly intending to open. However, Banda gave the code not to do so.

"Why? it's Barra's mother." said Ipul in a slow voice.

Banda shook his head while giving a hint to look down. There are many shadows that are not just one person. Ipul took a peek and examined her from behind the window. Sure enough, it was not Barra's mother who came but the police officers who brought the shot.

"Who?" ask Sindi who wants to know.

"Po-Li-Si-" said Ipul. Everyone is panicking. The police can't see Barra and his friends. The police will recognize them immediately.

"How is this?" ask the panicked princess.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

The door is back on tap and Ipul still does not move open the door, feeling confused and not knowing what to do.

"Excuse me, is there anyone inside? We are from the police officer, please cooperate." shouted the police who did not get an answer from inside.

"We'll just break down the door, ma'am, sir. Sorry, we had to inspect the house quickly to avoid unwanted trouble" a police officer warned.

BRACKET.. BRACKET.. BRACKET..

Police officers began to break down making the five people inside the house retreat and move away. They all became afraid while waiting for the door to open.

"Our history is finished." said Banda interrupted by the fear of his friends.
