The Goddess of Pigeons
CHAPTER 31: Turning into a Pigeon
"kring.. cring..."
the bicycle bell rang. Signifying Am has arrived at Furqon's house.
"Am." call Furqon.
Quickly Furqon approached the newly arrived Am.
I saw a lot of stuff I brought. Furqon became curious. This time, Am did just that.
"Am, what is all this? Why are you carrying so much stuff?" ask Furqon.
"oh. This is just a little gift for you so you get better quickly" said Am.
"astaga..it doesn't have to be like this." murmured Furqon.
"where'd you get your money from, Am?" ask Furqon by helping bring Am's groceries.
"from your gift that you gave when we went to the market. That I gathered and so all this." replied Am with sumringah.
"wah... So all this time you saved? I don't think angels can be that way either" Furqon said.
"eh syuuuuut!!!"
Suddenly Am covered Furqon's mouth with his index finger.
"don't be so loud I'll hear you!" said Am.
"yeah, I'm sorry" Furqon said.
...****************...
Furqon put Am's shopping in the room. Then Am sorted out his shopping between food and clothes.
Seeing Am's actions, Furqon thought of something about Am.
"The longer he looks like a real human being" Furqon said.
"Am, may I ask you a question?" furqon.
"what?" ask Am.
"is there a way for angels to turn into humans?" ask Furqon.
"if that's the case, I don't know Furqon. Only your master knows." replied Am.
"if your master knows it. Ask the Am. It's possible.... We don't know either, do we?" furqon.
Hearing Furqon's words, Am only glanced at Furqon with his eyes and fell silent.
Then Am brought the food from his shopping earlier to the dining table.
"Am, why so much?" ask Furqon again because not sure about Am's answer earlier.
"i've lost it so you can get better quickly" said Am with a lowered head.
Hearing Am's reply, Furqon again did not believe.
Because Furqon knows that Am knows that Furqon now has nothing to do with health.
"Food has been arranged. Now. "inner Am.
Then Am saw Furqon's face as fully as possible.
"why are you looking at me like that?" ask Furqon.
Am holding Furqon's hand. Then he dragged Furqon and told her to rest.
" you haven't improved. So rest. I'll get you some food. After that take the medicine" said Am.
"What's really wrong with him? why is his attitude not what it used to be?" inner Furqon.
After Am brought some food, he fed it to Furqon. Just like a wife takes care of her husband.
"Am, promise me you'll stay here forever" Furqon said, holding Am's hand sitting beside her.
I just returned a smile to Furqon. Then he also clasped Furqon's hand.
"why not answer?" ask Furqon.
"how should I answer. If it's midnight I have to go.." Inner Am.
"but "" said Furqon stopped closed with one of his index fingers Am.
"rest." orders Am.
"i can't sleep" Furqon replied.
"what if I told you about one of the novels I read from the Library?" said Am.
"can you?" ask Furqon.
"wow, you underestimated me? of course it can." said Am.
"like this, there is a human being. He entered a haunted building. Then he accidentally saw a beautiful ghost sitting and playing the piano in the building. The ghost is named Bella. In his music he plays a song of sorrow. Which touches the soul. The man who saw him felt how dark the life he was living was. Somehow the human heart was moved to approach him. They often joke and meet. They fall in love over time. Because.." Am's story.
I heard the story from Am. Furqon had fallen asleep by then. Then Am, continued the story with a clean slit.
"because they are from different realms. They were finally unable to unite. Then the Man ended up dead with a sense of silence." Am's story is soft.
Suddenly I was crying after that. Because the story is very similar to what Am felt at that time.
...****************...
The clock kept turning. Seeing Furqon sleeping well, Am looked for a piece of paper and a ballpoint pen. I started writing on that paper.
"Furqon, thank you for everything. My days are very colorful when I'm here. Turns out to be that human. You should be grateful for your life. Because your life is your responsibility. And happy!. Because happiness is your job. Open your top Almarimu. There will be clothes for you, mom and dad. I have to go Furqon...
Don't love me anymore."
That is what Am wrote to Furqon. Then Am put the letter on the table next to Furqon asleep.
With a sneak Am went quietly before dawn. Am going to the coast looking for a quiet place.
Exactly at 12 p.m., by,
The particles of the wind compound gathered from the west. Then they approached Am like a hurricane. A few tens of seconds, Am turned into a pigeon back then.
"wuuuuush"
Turned Am into a pigeon. Then the thing he was going to do now was to meet Amaltheia.
...****************...
Am flying towards the capital. As usual, he waited for Amal's arrival under a big tree at the edge of the city.
Am gives impiety signal to Amal. Because this time Amal had completed his task, Amal who was in the form of a butterfly was directly to the place where Am was.
"Am, you've changed?"
Charity asked what he saw at the time.
"iya Charity. I'm here to give you a message. If Furqon's looking for me please don't tell me about my whereabouts" Am said.
"Am, are you sure of this action of yours? " Task Charity to make sure.
"certain. I'm certain. I will not be an arrogant person. Taking the life of a child dear to his mother." replied Am.
"but Am,, "the word Amal came to a halt. Because he knows what Am's position is. But it is not in accordance with the Nabastala Act.
"Mal, you calm down. Even though I don't obey. But this is best for everyone. Sometimes there are times when we break the rules for the sake of more good" Am said with a smile.
Charity can only be silent to hear the decision of his best friend. Between agree and disagree.
"after this, I plan to go to.." said Am cut off by Amal.
"enough Am, don't you continue. Don't make me lie. I'd better be completely ignorant of your whereabouts. Whatever decision. I'll support you. If you ever need my help. Come hither. God willing I can help you" said Amal.
"well okay. Charity, thank you so much for your help so far. Then... I say goodbye first huh? Assallamu'alaikum." said Am.
"wa'alaikumussalam." replied Amal.
"just take care of yourself, Amal" said Amal.
"yes, of course." replied Am with a smile by wagging his wings.
