The House in the Middle of Sawah

Visit of Lik Wo

Today ended without any clarity as to why Lik Wo did not come to visit home. Febi also didn't contact me at all. After Maghrib's time, I was still lounging in the room. I put my body on the mattress this time wearing a pulkadot patterned bed sheet, surely the mother who changed the shabby bed sheet before, I do not care too much. I put the earphones in my ear. I played my favorite song on HP. Mumbled to sing the song while closing his eyes.

Let me keep this feeling

To take care of all the love you have given

You go I will not go

You stay away I won't be far away

I honestly still expect you

.tok . . ..tok . . .Tokkk

There was a faint sound of the front door being knocked. I took off the earphones in my ears, I sharpened my hearing.

"Kulonuwuunn. .".", clearly heard the voice of the person at the door.

I rushed out of the room, and opened the front door. Turns out. . .Lik Wo is coming.

"Monggoo Lik . .", I welcome you in, the guest I was waiting for this afternoon

"Son Dani, we're just sitting outside" Lik Wo opened his voice, flat. At first glance, Lik Wo looks paler than the last time we met. Could he be sick?

"Why not enter Lik, outside the asrep you know", I tried to persuade Lik Wo to go inside, because at this time the air was cold.

"No need, just for a moment Lee", Lik Wo said, flat.

Finally I relented, we sat on the front porch of the house.

"Lhoh, what's Lik riding here?", I asked when I didn't see Lik Wo's motorbike in the yard.

"Streetings", he answered briefly, leaving me a little confused, walking? It's worth all day I've been waiting for nothing to come.

"So Febi is waiting for the njenengan you know Lik, have not met Febi?" My question was answered only by the headband of Lik Wo.

"Oh yes. .What's Lik Wo gonna drink?" Lik Wo once again shook his head, silent. The air is getting colder. Though maybe it's still about seven and a half hours.

"That's not important", Lik Wo opened his voice, flat.

I can't yet understand the meaning of that sentence.

"You and your family should go, Lee, not here. Especially you Lee. .", Lik Wo said it with a flat and cold face, as cold as the air tonight. I know I don't feel comfortable.

"Why Lik? How sudden, suddenly maturing? wonten nopo?", I ventured to ask half a whisper.

Lik Wo suddenly turned to me, glaring. I was shocked, I gulped, nervous. Is it wrong to ask that? Silent. Neither I nor Lik Wo spoke. Just looking at each other. I'm horrified, what's going on? Why does Lik Wo feel different?

The next second, Lik Wo smiled, wide. The front row of teeth that turn yellow due to too much smoking. I'm getting weird and . .. cringe.

"Kowe dadi kokakehan takon boy!", Lik Wo said with pressure, but with a mocking tone. Again, I swallowed.

"Ra legitimate kakehan asked, cepet lungo!", this time Lik Wo half snapped, standing up from his seat. Lik Wo stepped up to leave. I stood up, following Lik Wo. I don't understand the strange situation right now.

"That's all I want not to say, I want to go home" said Lik Wo turned to me.

"But Lik .", I stammered, I didn't understand.

I haven't been able to continue my sentence, Lik Wo suddenly turned around, directly gripping both of my shoulders. I was shocked, I saw Lik Wo glaring, and gripping me even tighter.

"LUNGO OOOOO!", Lik Wo shouted hoarsely and pushed my body hard.

. . .

I'm fallin. Well, it hurts. I open my eyes slowly. Am I in the room? Earphones in the ears, and I fell under the cot where I fell. I dreamt it, damn it.

Drrtt . . .Drrtt . . .Drrtttt

I haven't gotten up from where I fell, HP shaking. The HP curayh was on the bed, Febi called.

"Hallo", I said first.

"Daannn. .", Febi's voice shrieked slightly.

"What's the matter Fee? You're like that cry?", I asked, worried.

"Lik Woo Daan. . .Lik Wo accident. .hiks hiks", Febi sobbing.

Huh uh?! I was flabbergasted, shocked.
