"Today we just had a big disappointment let that be all I was telling you about."
"Check," said Rill in a relieved tone. Because Kikuk was no longer perched on his shoulder.
"I don't think you know, but we've all just recovered from severe Covid disease" Jaki said.
"That's why we haven't returned to school. Well by Doctor Sir
we were told to travel to one of the places to get an atmosphere change. Then Aunt Am decided we could go on an omitology expedition with Dr. Jonahs
as well as his entourage to coastal areas and offshore islands in North Madura you know, right to places inhabited only by birds."
"Yes, I know that place," said Rill who listened attentively.
"Well, then today Dr. Jono had an accident, Jaki continued. "So we couldn't leave because no one was accompanying us. Well - why don't you just accompany us disguised as birdwatchers?
We will be able to enjoy a very fun Adventure, and you can go to an unknown place without anyone knowing!
Then you stay there for a while if you still want to hide when we have to come back !"
For a few moments the room was quiet. The children held their breaths, waiting for Rill to answer.
Even the clumsiest seemed to be hearing restlessly.
"I don't know, Rill said later. "I think it feels like that way
using you too much as a cover! Then if my enemies manage to figure out the ruse, the situation will be equally dire for all of us. To me, and to you.
The children instead become more excited and urgent because they are not satisfied with Rill's answer that rejects the good idea.
Everyone does not want to miss talking.
"We're very disappointed that we didn't go, and it looks like it's a good possibility after all, not just for two weeks at least
for us. After that we have to go back to school."
"You're the best at being told to go undercover. It is easy that you can certainly become a serious-looking ornithologist, looking into the distance to observe birds flying while carrying binoculars .... "Nobody knows. We'll be completely safe on the north coast there, in the middle of the wild and remote areas with you. Just imagine the month of July up there the deep blue sea water, the birds soaring and drifting, the seaweed scattered everywhere .... "
"You must be safe there, Rill. No one will know and no one will be able to find you in such a place. We also want to take a vacation that way.
We all felt bland after lying down for so long because of Covid's disease."
"Sssst don't be so hard" whispered Rill. "I still have to negotiate with your mother even though I agree.
That idea was great and I don't think it's
it crossed anyone's mind as well that I would leave blatantly like that. And frankly, vacation with the four of you and Clumsy too,
surely right, that's what I need right now."
"Well, Rill, I think you'll do it!" said Desi. He embraced Rill happily. "Clean my heart. This shitty day turned out to be fun!"
