The Goddess of Pigeons

CHAPTER 9: FURQON AND AM MEETING WHILE HUMAN

Furqon sailed with his friends on that full night. In the middle of the sea, there are a lot of fish. Up to 5 times more than usual. This caused them to return home sooner than usual.

“already this much, let's go home.” Furqon.

“iya you were right Furqon. The fish we caught tonight was a lot. We finally got home early. Hahha” said his friend.

They turned their boat back to the seaboard. At that time the time has shown at 02.00 WIB. They finally reached the coast.

“Alhamdulillah. Let's share. And get home. Then..” says Furqon.

“tleep. Yes hahaha...” said his friend.

“ya iyalah... come on, quickly for immediate sleep.” Furqon.

After dividing their results by. This time Furqon's friends went home first. Because of the large number of fish obtained, so Furqon had no place to sit with his friend like he would have left before. Furqon walked to get his bike. While the fish results he left on the coast.

From a distance, he saw a female figure who was on the beach.

“who is it? Looks likewomen. But why are women on nights like this on this lonely beach?. Uh maybe he's a ghost. But wait.His feet step on the sand. Means not a ghost.” Furqon.

“excuse me. miss, miss there.” Furqon.

Hearing Furqon Am's voice, he was startled and he immediately ran. Looking for a place so far as not to be seen by Furqon. But what power, because Am's legs are weaker than Furqon, Furqon finally precedes Am's footsteps.

“hai miss, don't be afraid I'm not a bad person. Miss, excuse me why is Miss here alone? It's still curfew, miss. Is miss lost?.” Ask Furqon.

“ah iy.. yes I lost.” Reply Am.

“where is the lady's house? Let me delivery, dangerous if women night-night street alone.” Furqon.

Am confused to answer it is impossible he said if he is a pigeon that has been in his house. Then Am remembered the name of the city that was once said by Althaia where his best friend Amaltheia was.

“my home. is in tapestry city.” Reply Am.

“apa? Isn't the city far from here it takes an hour drive from here.” Furqon.

“I mean in the most marginal tapestry city kak.” Reply Am.

“oh well I'll drop off miss. But my vehicle is at home. What if we went to my house first and drove the lady there.” Furqon.

“it doesn't seem like it'll take much longer. It's okay I'll walk myself there.” Reply Am.

“ alright then I will accompany miss walking.” Furqon.

“no need.” Am said.

“none…. It's very dangerous if there's a beautiful woman walking alone at night. I mean,, isn't the lady lost, and. the woman needs to be protected that's it.” Furqon.

“how many hours will it take to walk to the edge of town? Ask Am.

“if on the edge is enough 50 minutes.” Answer Furqon.

"it looks like sunrise will take another 3 hours. So it seems safe if only 50 minutes" inner Am.

30 Minutes later, they walked along the road. Am who never walked that far on foot. He felt his legs were very tired. Several times he looked at Furqon. Want to talk but be reluctant. Similar to Furqon. He was a fisherman and a hunter. Walking away was no problem for him. After 10 minutes of walking. Tired Am has reached its peak.

“wait, I can't stand it. My legs feel very tired.” said Am spontaneously.

Heard Am talk like that. Looking to the left of Furqon, looking for a resting place.

Furqon's eyes were fixed on a wood lying on the side of the road ahead of the crossroads.

“all right, we rest first there.” Furqon.

I sat on the wood and thought.

'it turns out that human being can feel this way yes, my legs really feel tired and not strong to walk anymore. Why did I have to meet him!" inner Am.

Seeing Am's leg there's a bullet in his leg. Cause Furqon to ask him a question.

“what's miss's leg swollen?.” Ask Furqon.

“ya? Looks like my legs feel stiff and not strong yet walk again.” Am said.

“stay 10 minutes we reach the edge of town. If miss allows may I hold the miss to quickly arrive?” Answer Furqon.

“iya of course please.” Am said.

Am was used to being carried by Furqon when he was a pigeon so it was not awkward for Am if Furqon carried him at that time.

But there is something different now. As a human, Furqon carried Am behind his back. Until we get to the edge of town.

“Alhamdulillah.we arrive. which lady's house?.” Ask Furqon.

By looking here and there. He pointed to a red house that was not his home.

“apa? Oh, that red one's sister.” Reply Am.

“ya.. alright. It seems it's okay to drive the lady here. Forgive me because I also still have interests.” Furqon.

“please thank you very much.” Am said.

Because Furqon caught fish has not been packaged by Furqon. Making Furqon have to go home quickly.

After cleaning the fish and going home. Furqon laid down his body as usual. With the beautiful girl he had met last night.

“hah.. tired once today. But it's okay, today I met someone very beautiful.” Furqon said with a smile.

“where Am, it looks like he's out again. Well. maybe he needs refreshing too.” Furqon.

Furqon fell asleep in his room. While Am, looking for a hiding place to turn into a pigeon again. Because Am's feet are tired and dawn will soon rise. He was looking for the nearest hiding place.

After turning into a pigeon again, Am flew straight home to Furqon.

15 Minutes later,,,,,

The roof of Furqon's house from the height of Am flew. As Am was already so exhausted, he immediately slid towards Furqon's bedroom window and rested in his place.

Furqon awoke from his sleep. He went straight to the bathroom to wash his face. When Furqon entered the room he saw Am still sleeping.

"his sleep looks so good. I'm just leaving." - Inwardly.

In the afternoon Furqon went to the market to sell the fish as usual. But this time, Am did not go with him.

After finishing selling Furqon, go straight home. He remembered that tomorrow was his best friend's wedding. So Furqon wants to rest in order to be optimal when accompanying his best friend married tomorrow.

When Furqon entered his room, he saw Am flying in his room until some of his feathers fell.

“Am, what are you doing?.” Ask Furqon.

“ah. You've come home, your mother went to the room and she'll catch me. You know what he said?.” Am said.

“apa?” Ask Furqon.

“he said I was a sweet and obedient bird. He said I was very loyal to you. So I'm afraid if I leave. Seeing you didn't lock me up so mom wanted to catch me and put me in a cage.” Am said.

“then what about you? You comfortable like this or in a cage?” Ask Furqon.

“of course I prefer freedom.” Reply Am.

“well,”

“Am I want to tell you a story. Last night I met a girl. She's very pretty. I've never seen a girl as beautiful as her in my entire life. I'm really curious about him. Sometimes I ask for your help can Am?.” Furqon.

“request... tire...what master?” Ask Am.

“send my letter to him huh? His house on the edge of the city red carpet.” Furqon.

Furqon still did not know if the girl he was referring to was Am herself.

“apa? Hey man, what's the point of her being beautiful if her heart isn't good. You don't know him yet. Don't fancy. Because not necessarily his heart is good tau.” Am said.

“last night I walked with her, and I think she's a good woman. You said it like that because you still haven't met him. Ah. I want to rest first. Tomorrow's Ando's wedding so I have to rest early.” Furqon.

"send mail? Just be right. That was me anyway. But unfortunately I can't say anything. Sir,, how is this? It feels like my life is getting complicated." Inner Am.

As Furqon falls asleep, Am flies out to meet Amaltheia. When she came out of the window Furqon's mother found out. And Mom called and knocked on Furqon's room.

“nak, Furqon. Your pigeon's off nak.” Said mother.

Hearing the voice of his mother Furqon woke up and opened the door of his room.

“what's mom?.” Ask Furqon.

“it was your djugutu. Why don't you put it in a cage?.” Said mother.

“just relax mom, she might be looking for food outside. He must have come back to trust me!.” Furqon.

“seeing she's always with you mom trust son. But I'm worried that if he gets shot again like he first came here. How?” Said mother.

"thought mother was right too. Although Am is an angel, but he has no power so he's like an ordinary pigeon." Inner Furqon.

“iya mom later if she comes home. Furqon will directly put it in the cage.” Furqon.

Am meets Amaltheia in the town of Permadani. They talked and asked how each one was doing.

“Amal how are you? Did you punish you? What has he done?” Ask Am.

“Am I'm fine. Master did punish me but it wasn't hard. You take it easy.” Reply Charity.

“what punishment did you give Charity?.” Ask Am.

“Master only took my healing power for 3 months only. During those 3 months, I will be careful on my journey so I have no problem. And you don't worry.” Reply Charity.

“you must be careful, especially if there is lightning in the sky. You must be vigilant Amal.” Am said.

“iya Am, I must have been vigilant.”

“how about your feet?.” Ask Charity.

“Alhamdulillah my legs are very healthy. But Amal I want to tell you.” Am said.

Am recounted all the events that had happened during the full moon yesterday. About his meeting with Furqon. And Furqon was planning to send a letter past him. Heard the story told by Am. Amal laughed out loud.

“hahahah. Not believing this time our people are stuck with humans. That's you Am.” Reply Charity.

“iya I also don't know if Furqon saw me back then.” Reply Am.

“if you have met. Yeah.how else. Am. You have to live it.” Charity Words.

“but this is too complicated Amal.” Am said.

“Am, come to think of it. Wouldn't your strength be able to come back if Furqon loved you as sincerely as you please? Maybe this is the way for you, Am. As a human you make Furqon fall for you.” Charity Words.

“how is it possible? While I became a human only once a month Amal.” Am said.

“right too. Looks like your punishment is heavy, Am. Patience to Am. Even though I can't restore your strength. But I will always be ready if you ask me for help Am.” Charity Words.

“thank you Charity. You are indeed the best friend.” Reply Am.

“let's think about the exit slowly.” Charity Words.

“iya Am's. All right, it's getting late. I have to go home soon.” Am said.

“iya be careful yes Am.” Charity Words.

“you are also careful.” Am said.

“ready!.” Charity Words.
