The Last Path's
The Story of Grandma Hito
The next morning, as Freya was about to go to the bathroom, she saw Grandma Hito coming out of the house with a basket in her hand and a stick in her other hand. Out of curiosity Freya finally followed Hito's grandmother into the small yard behind her house. There were two cows, two chickens and two pigeons. Grandma Hito milked the cow for milk, then to the chicken coop took the chicken eggs and sat on a chair in the middle of the yard.
“Do you know, grandma now has two grandchildren, they're still afraid of me, but they're funny. I'm sure they're good kids.” Grandma Hito began to tell about Freya and Dogma to her pet animal who is now sitting around Grandma Hito, then a pigeon flew to the shoulder of Grandma Hito as if whispering something into the ears of the grandmother.
“Freya, come out baby. Grandma knows you're there.” Freya was surprised to hear that, at first she thought she was going to run away, but she decided to get closer to the grandmother.
“Include this Starch and Ribbon.” Said Hito's grandmother while pointing to the two pigeons.
“Halo miss sweet.” The pigeons can talk. Freya was surprised.
“Do not be afraid, everyone here can talk, and the Pati who told grandma your name, He listened to your chat along the river.” Grandma Hito explained to Freya.
“It is fitting that this grandmother knew our name, it turned out to be the dove.” Think Freya.
“This Ushi and Usha” said grandma hito pointed at two cows.
“And this is Chiki and Chiko.” Said Hito's grandmother pointing at the two chickens.
“They are all friends telling grandma that you're lonely.” Said Hito's grandmother while rubbing Freya's hair.
Seeing Hito's grandmother's familiarity with her pets made Freya's fear disappear and only the warmth in her chest remained. He found love that he had never had before. Freya never had a grandmother or grandfather. All of his grandmothers and grandfathers had died long before he was born.
After picking up the milk and eggs, they stopped by a patch of vegetable garden, picked up some vegetables and headed home.
“Nek wait, let me bring this.” Said Freya immediately taking Hito's grandmother's bag. They soon become familiar in a short period of time carried away an atmosphere completely foreign to Freya.
Once awake, Dogma finds neither Freya nor Grandma at home, and decides to head to the river next to the house. It is tempting to catch a cool fish swimming in the clear river.
Behind Hito's grandmother's house there is a yard and cage for livestock while on the right there is a garden plot that contains various types of vegetables and on the left there is a shallow river of clear water inhabited by many fishes. Actually, all the food is complete around the house of Hito's grandmother, but because of the age of Hito's grandmother, he was not able to catch fish anymore.
As soon as Freya and Hito's grandmother return, Dogma immediately rises from the river carrying some of the fish.
“Wah, grandma has not eaten fish for a long time, let's cook good today.” Grandma Hito looks happy with Dogma's fish.
On the morning of the seventh day they live with Hito's grandmother, Freya wakes up earlier than usual. He was looking forward to the day that Hito's grandmother would point the way to them. Freya immediately went to the kitchen to help Hito's grandmother as usual, but she did not meet the grandmother there.
“Maybe I woke up part and grandma hasn't woken up.” Think Freya. He decided to go to the cowshed to milk, and take the chicken eggs as usual. After that, pick some vegetables to cook. He intends to surprise Hito's grandmother and as a token of gratitude for Hito's grandmother's kindness during these six days.
But until he finished preparing breakfast, Grandma Hito did not come out of his room. Out of curiosity, Freya decides to call Hito's grandmother. After being knocked many times there was also no answer from inside the room of Hito's grandmother. Dogma who was disturbed by Freya's sound finally woke up and approached Freya.
“What are you doing in front of grandma's room?” He said a little upset.
“Grandma Hito did not come out of her room, I was worried if something happened to grandma.” Freya answered worriedly.
Dogma helped bang on the door and called out to Grandma Hito, but there was no response at all. Finally Dogma takes an axe from the kitchen and hits Grandma Hito's door algae for the key to escape. After they managed to open the door, Freya ran towards the bed where Grandma Hito was asleep.
To Freya's surprise, what she found under the covers was not Hito's grandmother, but a skull. Freya screamed in fear. Dogma immediately approached Freya and found her skull lying on the bed. Simultaneously, a pair of doves belonging to Grandma Hito flew from the window that was left open to the room and perched on top of the grandmother Hito's skull.
“Pati, Ribbon what happened to Hito's grandmother?” Freya asked the pair of pigeons.
“Sorry to have scared you, actually Hito's grandmother died two years ago. And the one you met six days ago was the remaining magic activated on the day of Hito's grandmother's death two years ago. Everything in this house is a hallucination except for the cattle and us. Hito's grandmother was a magician who was good at medicine and foresaw the future. People in the village where Hito's grandmother lived used to fear the expertise of Hito's grandmother, although it is undeniable that Hito's grandmother's medicinal abilities were very helpful to the villagers. Until one day Hito's grandmother was expelled from her birth village and settled in this house. We met Hito's grandmother in this forest, she taught us many things, including how to speak human language. One day when Hito's grandmother was getting older and realized that her death was getting closer, she told us her last message” Pita said at length.
“The message reads ‘there will be a man with a little girl coming to this house, by then my last magic will be active. Lead them to your home. The expelled god must fulfill his final destiny’. We do not understand what it means, but we will accompany you to our home” added Pati
“Your houses? But we want to immediately find the Miraculos tree, so that I can go home soon.” Freya also did not understand the meaning of Hito's grandmother's last message.
“We were born on top of the Miraculos tree, so we know which way we should go home.” Answer Pati.
“Oh, so it seems. But what fate awaits me?” Guman Dogma was very slow. Only he himself heard his voice.
Dogma immediately ran into the garden, looking for a tool that He could use to dig up the soil, which He found was just a small spade commonly used by Hito's grandmother to bulldoze the soil of his beloved plants. He dug tirelessly to form a basin deep enough to bury Hito's grandmother's skull. Meanwhile Freya collects the bones of Grandma Hito into a blanket to be easily lifted. Freya and Dogma slowly lowered Hito's grandmother's skull in the hole. They piled up with the ground slowly. Chiki, Chiko, Usha, Ushi, Pati and Pita carry flowers in their mouths and put them on top of Hito's grandmother's meal while crying. It's the second cry of Hito's grandmother's pet since her death. Like remembering something, though,
Dogma immediately ran to the riverbank, He looked for a thin stone that was rather wide and placed on top of the bsize as a tombstone. They made a funeral for Hito's grandmother in the garden next to the house.
In the gravestone of Hito's grandmother carved the inscription 'here lies our grandmother, in her heart love always blossoms'.
