The Goddess of Pigeons

CHAPTER 13: AM TRANSFORMED INTO A HUMAN BEING

“i mean, hearing you talk like that, I came to think that it looks like you already know him.” Furqon.

“I only position myself if I was in his position.” Am said.

“nona Fi, don't want to go home?.” Ask Furqon.

(how is this, if I make it up again, Furqon will force me to drive. But I don't have a home. Where should I go?)

“Kak Furqon,!” call Am.

“Iya miss, how?” Ask Furqon.

“actually.. I do not have a home.” Am said.

“Meaning Miss? And that house at the time? What?” Ask Furqon.

“forgive me, actually.it is not my home. I'm just embarrassed to sister because I don't have a home.” Am said.

“then where have you lived?” Ask Furqon.

“a.. a. I live anywhere while I feel comfortable. Yes so it is..” said Am.

“astaga, it's very dangerous miss. What if my lady takes me to the southern inn?.” Furqon.

“by.” Reply Am.

Then the two of them headed to the inn. Furqon allows to choose a room according to your wishes. Then he pointed to one of the rooms he met.

“this is no problem.” Am said.

“well, the price is Rp 150.000,-/night miss.” Furqon.

“what do you mean?” Ask Am plain.

“iya if lodge there is a rate per night miss. Room price that you choose for that.” Furqon.

“what price? Last night?.” Ask Am.

“iya, please take care of payment in advance miss, later miss can rest here.” Furqon.

“payment with what?.” Ask Am.

Am remembered when he became a pigeon following Furqon to the market. There has been a buying and selling transaction. Using the money.

“oh... sorry brother, what is meant by brother must be money. But actually I don't have any money.” Reply Am.

“apa?.” Furqon.

“how is it possible...? ah come. alright! just like this. If Miss Fi pleases, please stay at my house. However, miss is a woman and I am a man. I can only offer just a few moments miss.” Answer Furqon.

“well no problem brother, I will stay at home brother. And will find a place to stay after.” Am said.

Seeing the movements of Miss Fi Furqon sometimes felt stuck but she still thinks positively of him.

*****

They walked together towards Furqon's house. This time the trip was done on foot. Their time to get to Furqon's house became a little longer.

Upon arriving home, Furqon opened the front door of his house. Then let Am sit in his living room chair. Then he looked for his mother to explain this.

“please miss Fi, sit down!.” Furqon said.

I sat down and waited for Furqon to arrive.

“Mother, I want to talk to Mom.” Furqon.

“iya what is it, nak?” Ask Mom.

“ibu, actually Furqon has a friend. He just moved out of town. But he has not found a place to live. Can he stay here in a while?.” Ask Furqon.

“whose friend is son?.” Ask mother.

“the name is Fi. Come with me buk. She is now sitting in the guest room.” Furqon.

Furqon took her mother's hand and pulled her into the room towards the living room. Furqon's mother's eyes were wide-eyed and could not believe what she was seeing.

“wait son!, that's who?.” Ask Furqon's mother.

“she's named Fi mom, she's my friend I mean. Which will stay a few days here.” Furqon.

“really? You find this really pretty angel where's son? I've never met a girl as beautiful as her.” Said mother.

“mother, she is indeed beautiful. But it is not good if excessive bu.” Furqon.

Furqon's mother immediately approached Am who was the Fi. And immediately asked him.

“whose name is kiddo?.” Ask Furqon's mother.

“my name is Fi mom, just call Fi.” Reply Am.

“which city are you from? Why did you move alone? Where are your parents?.” Ask Furqon's mother.

Am confused by Furqon's mother's question.

“city? Moving out? Old man?.” Ask Am.

Furqon interrupted Am's words. Because he knew that Am did not understand the words of his mother.

“iya mother. Fi came from the city of Pontianak. She is a kara girl. That's why he moved here because there are several reasons.” Furqon.

“one-way kara? Oh, God, how sorry you are, son. A girl as beautiful as you if out alone is very dangerous. You should stay here first, son. Until they find a place to live. Even if you do not find a place to live, you are also not a problem.” Said Furqon's mother.

Hearing the reply from Furqon's mother, Am was very happy and excited.

“really? Em... I mean well ma'am, thanks for the announcement.” Am said.

“Mother, the room in our house there are only two. Miss Fi can't sleep with me. So I'll sleep outside.” Furqon.

“why should it be outside? Of course it'll make me feel guilty for you, brother. Doesn't matter we sleep one night?.” Am said.

Because Am is an angel, he does not know about human life in depth.

“what Furqon says is true. Mom, make a drink first, right? You must be cold, son.” Said mother.

Furqon's mother left the two of them in the living room. Seeing them only both. With the voice of the singing cicadas. The atmosphere made Furqon's heart beat fast. This is the first time she has a female guest. Realizing that he was like this Furqon immediately quibbled in order to get away from him.

“I'll excuse me a minute, miss. I'll tidy up my room first.” Furqon.

“iya brother, sorry to trouble sister.” Am said.

Furqon went straight into the room. Behind the door she held his chest.

“astaga why this? Really not right.” Furqon.

Mother returned to the living room with a glass of warm tea for Am and Furqon. Then he put it on the table.

“where was Furqon? There are guests even left.” Said Furqon's mother.

“he said he tidied up his bed ma'am. Sorry ma'am if my arrival troubles you guys.” Am said.

“no son, no one bothered. Don't hesitate. Drink son, mumpung still warm.” Said Furqon's mother.

“thank you very much bu.” Am said.

After cleaning his room Furqon approached and let Am in.

“already done, please enter miss Fi.” Furqon.

“nona Fi, because my shirt is in the closet, maybe some time I will go into the room to pick it up. Of course, I will knock on the door and not enter. So.. have a good rest and hopefully can be comfortable.” Furqon.

“kak, actually I also do not have a replacement clothing can I borrow the clothes of my sister?. asked Am.

"what? oh, yes .. well take it as you please, miss." Furqon said.

"thank you. Once again I am sorry yes, have much trouble mom and sister.” Am said.

“no problem. Don't hesitate.” Furqon replied with a smile.

It's been 6 days that Am has been living in Furqon's house. Am very diligent, he diligently cleaned the house and helped Furqon's mother. Sometimes Am also joined Furqon to the market to sell fish. Day by day they became more and more familiar with each other.

When Am sleeps tonight. Involved in the name of his best friend Amal. He wants to meet his best friend. The next day he told his mother to look for something in the capital.

Then he set out and he met Amal at the edge of the town of Tapadani.

“how are you Amal?” greet Am.

“Good Am. How about yourself? Is it good to be human?.” Ask Charity.

“enak is not good. Sometimes I have to get tired to achieve something. Like cleaning my house so I can have a clean house. I'm looking for money so I can buy something. Yes. such is Amal.” Am said.

“it looks like it's exciting. Then how did Furqon fall in love with you? I hear you guys are one roof now.” Charity Words.

“it seems not yet, I don't know Amal reaching someone's heart is the most difficult and complicated thing. I can only try to get as close to him as possible.” Am said.

“Am, I'm not suggesting this. But I see that people who fall in love most of them touch each other. Like holding hands, kissing, and hugging. They can even go to the breeding stage. But what I see is that they have love, I also see lust enveloping them. So I can't be sure if this is true or not for you.” Charity Words.

“you mean... I should join hands and kiss Furqon?” Ask Am.

“ya. it's just a suggestion. But if not done it is also okay Am. I'm just talking based on what I see.” Charity Words.

“thought of all this time we were just joking and greeting each other. What you say is true charity. I'll try it.” Am said.

“but Am you sure?” Ask Charity.

“why not? My change into a human only lasted for three months. And it's been a week I haven't gotten anything Charity. I have to try it.” Am said.

“please if this is your decision. But you have to remember. Be careful. And good luck Am.” Charity Words.

“thanks Charity.” Am said.

After the two friends met and talked. Am returned to Furqon's house because it was late afternoon.

“Hey need me to turn into a dragon and you ride me again?” Ask Charity.

“ah.. do not need Charity. This time I want to be a real human.” Am said.

“well. Careful on the road.” Charity Words.

“ready.” Am said.

Am walked down the road to Furqon alone. He recalled the first time he met Furqon. And I am happy to have friends and friends in this world.

Furqon was waiting for someone in front of his house. Seeing that Am immediately greeted Furqon from the prank.

“what are you doing?” Ask Am.

“I'm waiting for you miss, I'm just worried. She said the lady went out to the edge of the Tapestry. Isn't that town far from here. Have you met?” Ask Furqon.

“for me not far away. What did I meet?” Ask Am.

“he said miss looking for something to the edge of the city of Tapadani. Have you met?” Ask Furqon.

“iya already.” Reply Am.

(nona Fi said she had no money. But why is he looking for something on the edge of town. What he was looking for. Ah,, it's none of my business, is it.) Inner Furqon.

“iya already, quickly clean yourself then to the dining table.” Furqon.

“iya brother. Thanks.” Reply Am.

(oh, like this how can I smell it?. Ah.. it seems that for a long time I will go crazy.) inner Am.

After Am cleaned up then they ate together at the dinner table.

“how son, you have found what you were looking for in the suburbs?” Ask mother.

“iya mom,” Reply Am.

“what are you looking for nak?” Ask mother.

"there's no way I'm going to meet the angel Amaltheia. I answered what?" inner Am.
