The Goddess of Pigeons

CHAPTER 10: FURQON MEETS HIM AGAIN

The next morning Furqon was getting ready to go to the wedding of his best friend Ando. Seeing that Am wants to come and feel the party with Furqon.

“Furqon, can I come?” Ask Am.

“no Am, this party is a lot of people. And if there's a pigeon with me. I'll be in the spotlight there. This time you're home, right?. Remember that! Don't go anywhere. I'm afraid you got shot just like you shot.” Furqon.

“actually I wonder what a party is like. But what you were talking about was true. All right then.” Am said.

“aku to leave first.” Furqon.

“iya, be careful.” Reply Am.

The sun is in the east of the Earth. Am, feeling bored waiting for Furqon. Because Furqon doesn't come home until the afternoon. Then Am went to the coast to get a fresh breeze. As Am leaves, Furqon's mother sees him flying out of the window. Furqon's mother loved Am very much. Because Am is a different pigeon than other pigeons. It had an impact Furqon's mother was very afraid of losing Am. Seeing Am can come out to and fro makes Dorit not accept if Am can feel freedom in his punishment. Because Furqon's mother has been overwhelmed by the worry of losing Am. Dorit whispered it. That it would be better if Am was locked up in a cage. Just like any other bird. Eventually the mother was affected and insisted on telling her son Furqon to lock her up.

Furqon came home from Ando's wedding. The corners of his eyes were pointing in various directions. Well, it's not wrong that he's looking for his dervish Am. But pigeons are nowhere. Furqon asked his mother.

“mom where Am, I mean where do I do?” Ask Furqon.

“so mom saw him out of the window son. That's why if you have the bird locked up. In order not to go anywhere. If only it were like this, are you sure he would have come home?.” Ask mother.

“dia sure go home mom.” Furqon.

“iya if he survived. If there's nothing when he flies how?. I'm just worried about Furqon. I think your pigeon is different from the usual pigeon. He is as we understand our words. And he's loyal to you. If he were lost, would there be a dove like him? Hunters are everywhere. You have to lock him up Furqon.” Said Mother.

“ibu is right, Am is a different pigeon than the others. But Furqon still can't lock her up mom.” Furqon.

“Furqon, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. Before what is unwanted happens. You should have been on guard.” Said mother.

Hearing the words of his mother who insisted on locking Am. Furqon was worried. Especially the current condition of Am who has not come home until night.

Am was flying here. He was enjoying the beauty of nature with his two wings. He flew in all directions. Fly over the sea, forests, housing, and mountains. Am was very happy at the time. To fill the saturation that awaits Furqon who never come.

Because it's fun, Am. It doesn't feel like it's dark. Finally, Am decided to go home.

Am in or out of the Furqon house usually passes through a window. But now that it was dark he did not get the door to enter. Seeing Am who never came home. Furqon came out to look for him. Turns out Am has arrived at his house.

“where have you been?.” Ask Furqon.

“I was looking for a fresh breeze, wah.. it feels very nice Furqon.” Reply Am.

“have I said don't go anywhere why still go?” Ask Furqon.

“aku was me...” replied Am.

“already. You have no idea how many hunters there are around. Am, this is for your safety from today I will lock you up.” Furqon.

“apa? Hey why do you think like that. You think I'm a real pigeon. No I don't want.”

By holding Am Furqon put it in a cage. Just like any other bird.

“have you forgotten who I am? Furqon, it's inappropriate for you to do this to me.” Am said.

“maaf angel Am. I know who you are. But you have no power now. If anything happens to you, I definitely can't forgive myself.” Furqon.

"what if I was locked up like this. Later on when the moon is full how can I change?" inner Am.

Am very worried about his current situation. He was only worried if any human saw him turn into a female.

Furqon went to the market to sell his fish as usual. Because the full moon time catches a lot. So for four days he did not sail. While Am remains in his cage.

The day has come to the afternoon. Furqon came home from the market. This time the fish was sold out. After Furqon cleansed himself. He brought food for Am.

“eat.” Furqon.

“until when are you going to lock me up like this? I'm really tired of being here every day. Look, what if we make a deal?” said Am.

“apa?.” Furqon.

“I'll always tell you if I'm going out. Or am I out with you? No, no, oh yeah, but except for the full moon. How?.” Am said.

“all right if you go out on condition you have to be with me. And will return to the cage if it is home.” Answer Furqon.

“then what if the full moon?.” Ask Am.

“stay should be with me.” Furqon.

“but, “ says Am.

“already, have eaten first. I'm doing this for your own good too.” Furqon.

After the deal. Am always out with Furqon. Just as Furqon sailed, sold fish and hunted, Am always went with him.

Tonight is a full moon. Furqon will sail with his friends. While Am is confused to stay in his cage or go with Furqon.

"if I stay in the cage, how will I change? It looks like I have to go with him but disappear in the middle of the journey. That's right, it's a good plan." Inner Am.

Finally, Am left with Furqon in the afternoon. As the sky began to reddish, Am suddenly disappeared. The furqon that was sailing this time was unable to catch up to him.

Time shows at 04.00 WIB. Furqon has finished fishing. After sharing the results as usual, Furqon immediately looked for Am. Unexpectedly what Furqon found was a miss who had been rough in the middle of the forest.

"anywhere the hell Am, he really doesn't know people are worried. Why didn't he come back from earlier? What if something happens to him. I have to find him first." Think Furqon.

“Furqon, you are why today is not concentrated at all?.” Friend said.

“nothing. My copy is gone so I'm worried.” Furqon.

“your sweats are very sticky with you. If I had been a pigeon that was very loyal to his partner. Even if he goes overseas he'll come back. Is she your boyfriend? Haha... “ says his Friend.

“you it's qon, cepet find a wife there!, but even the mulu pigeon you're looking for. Yes, I went home first ya” said his friend.

“iya, be careful on the road.” Answer Furqon.

After all his friends left. Finally Furqon looked for Am around him.

“Am... Am.. Where are you?” call Furqon.

“what's he home already? Or has anything happened to him?” furqon.

“I try to find in the forest first. Then go home.” Furqon.

Furqon searches for Am in the woods. But Furqon did not expect to meet the beautiful lady who was rude first.

'wasn't she that girl? truly a mysterious girl" Inner Furqon.

“nona? Why is miss in the middle of this wilderness by herself?” Ask Furqon.

“aku, I just hid from the crowd.” Reply Am.

“means miss?.” Ask Furqon.

“i mean, I love full moons. So I go out a lot at full moon nights. And I was just scared when I saw the full moon people thought I was a freak. So I'd rather hide. But that's what I am. I'm weird right?.” replied Am.

“hahaha.you are so funny. Miss is not strange. But only slightly different from the others.” Furqon.

“what a difference such a thing.” Am said.

They sat on the edge of the forest together. Am's shining face got the reflection of the moonlight, making Furqon's heart beat fast.

"what's this? Why is my heart so fast" Inner Furqon.

“what about your fish? You won't go home and rest?.” Ask Am.

“iya, I'll be home after dropping off miss.” Answer Furqon.

"the dawn soon began to appear, it would not have been until the time that Furqon had ushered me" said Am.

“no need. I can go home by myself. I go first huh?.” Am said.

“nona,, wait,,,!.” Furqon.

In a hurry Am ran away and tried not to look again at Furqon's eyes. Furqon pursued Am, who had fled far away. This time Furqon did not catch up with Am.

They hide behind a big tree. And turned into a pigeon again. Finally he came out as a dove in front of Furqon.

“Am, where have you been? Where did you disappear from? Why just appeared?.” Ask Furqon.

“i was still having business so I disappeared.” Reply Am.

“why not farewell? you know I'm worried, one night you won't come back.” Answer Furqon.

“sorry, I didn't get to tell you. I'm in a big hurry.” Reply Am.

“well, this time I forgive you. Let's go home.” Furqon.

They went home together when the sun was beginning to appear. Furqon's riding a bike with a sterofoam box on its back. While Am flew above her. They talked to each other about the meeting of Furqon and Am in human form. Am is not surprised, Am is confused because Furqon plans to introduce Fi with a pigeon that is actually him.

*****

One month later….

There were many beasts flying up into the sky in Furqon's eyes. But other friends could not see it.

The next full moon. Furqon sailed with his friend as usual. This time Am is coming with Furqon again. But again Am disappeared when the sun began to set. Seeing the attitude of Am who has not changed. Makes Furqon feel annoyed.

After the fishing was over, Furqon looked back and forth to find Am. And hope to meet the woman he meets every full moon.

At that time Am sat among the rocks that were on the seafront. Seeing Furqon being confused from a distance, Am immediately approached him.

“What are you looking for?.” Ask Am.

“nona? I'm looking for my pigeon did miss see it?.” Ask Furqon.

“merpati? No, I didn't see it. She's missing again?.” Ask Am.

“he always disappears suddenly on a full night. Though I was very worried about him” Furqon replied.

“why are you worried about it?”. Ask Am.

“because she is different from the other pigeons.” Answer Furqon.

“maybe there's something he has to finish when he disappears. Don't worry too much. Sometimes the animal will leave if the owner is too constrained.” Am said.

“seeing the way you talk it seems like you understand them huh?.” Furqon.

“really?.” Ask Am.

“iya, but.. if this pigeon. He's really special. So my mom and I are so scared of losing it.”

“em. If you can know what the name of miss?.” Ask Furqon.

“my name. Just call Fi. Yes that's my name.” Reply Am.

“well miss Fi, let's try to sit there. Already along the way we walk.” Furqon.

Every full moon they meet. Eventually they get closer to each other.

*****

The sun began to show itself. Just like that time. When the sun starts to rise. I have to go to turn into a pigeon. This time Am said goodbye to Furqon.

“Furqon, the sun will rise. I have to go.” immediately Am said.

“then... “ says Furqon,

Not finished talking. Furqon's mouth was covered with his index finger Am.

“ssttttt, no need sister interracial. My brother has accompanied me that is enough. Thanks yes.?” Am said.
