In the kitchen, Andra's residence.
Andra was still flinching in her place. Between curiosity and fear, haunting his mind. What's he supposed to do? Do you trust him? On that snake demon, the one in front of him? Didn't it, normally, if the snake came to see Viona and she appeared, the snake disappeared immediately? Why did he even appear now to look for her?
”I know what you think. Trust me, come here!” tell the snake again.
Andra swallowed her saliva violently. Should he walk closer? He held the knife in his hand.
All righty! Several times, the snake helped Viona. If this snake is going to kill me, in my hand I still hold this dagger. Even if I die being bitten by it, the snake will die by my knife, Andra thought.
He was still staring intently at the golden cobra, slowly raising his foot, approaching the snake.
He had been near the golden cobra snake, with a trembling body. The snake was getting higher. Both Andra's eyes and the two snake eyes looked at each other, without breaking.
”Take the bottle and drink the water.” Tell the snake.
Andra's gaze momentarily glanced at the bottle, however, she didn't want any carelessness. His eyes looked back at the snake.
”Do not be afraid! Drink!” the snake issued its order.
”Si..who are you really?” ask Andra.
”I'm not the evil snake you think I am, that's enough you know about me. Take the bottle and drink the water. That necklace, put it on. I give it as a gift to you, as my gratitude, you have protected Viona.”.
A bounty? Protecting Viona? Hah...was he running tricks on me? andra's mind.
”A..what is your relationship with Viona? Me why should I obey and believe in your words?” andra asked the serpent. His voice was nervous from fear, however, he had to clarify the snake's identity and his relationship with Viona.
”Andra...you're done, not yet?”
Andra was shocked to hear Viona's voice. And Viona's footsteps to the kitchen.
The snake also disappeared.
Why did the snake disappear when Viona came? andra's mind.
Andra looked at the bottle and necklace on the table. He took the two things and kept them in his trouser bag, quickly. He looks nervous.
”Andra, why stand alone there? What are you thinking? Still feeling guilty for killing that snake?” ask Viona.
”Ah..ehmm. You finished packing your clothes?”
”Yes, why is your face so tense? You look nervous too. What's wrong with you?” Viona curious.
”It's okay, dear.” Andra held Viona's hand and pulled her forward.
Why does Andra's hand feel cold, holding my hand? I can also feel her hands trembling a little bit Viona's mind.
Andra looked at the snake blood spots on the floor.
”Oh, I forgot to clean the floor. I cleaned the floor first, we just left.” he stepped back into the kitchen to take the mop.
Viona's eyes narrowed at Andra, who was returning from the kitchen. ”Dra, you're trying to hide something from me.”
”Nothing, darling. Don't think much, yeah?” Andra stroked Viona's head.
Viona was silent, looking at Andra who was cleaning the floor.
I'm not sure about him. There must be something he's hiding from me. But, I don't know what it is about. There was clearly something she was hiding from me. Viona's mind.
”Hey...dreaming what? Let's go.” take Andra.
”Hah, you're done cleaning the floor!”
Andra nodded. ”Already, from earlier. You daydream anyway, so do not see me well clean the floor.”
Viona looked at the floor, right, the floor was clean. Though he daydreamed for a while, and while watching Andra mopping. But, he did not realize when Andra finished her work.
”Come, baby, we're leaving. Loh, even still daydreaming. Think what?” ask Andra.
”Ah, no. Yes, let's go.” she holds her own clothing bag and follows Andra out of the house.
Andra locked the door to her house. He's riding on a bike. The bag is in front of him. ”Vi..this is your bag, I keep it here.”
”Will not block the driveway later, if my bag is also stored there? Let me alone hold my bag.” reject Viona.
”Gak, darling.” Andra snatched Viona's bag from the girl's hand. He kept it in his bag. Andra stater motor. The motor has sounded. ” Up!” her word, to Viona.
Viona rides on the bike, holding on to Andra's belly.
”Where are you going? Bring another bag, go to town now? Dra, your mother's hundred is not out yet. Kok, already want to go!” dion asked, looking at Viona, then at Andra.
”Gak, this..we want to stay at his house priest sir for a while.” replied Andra.
”Living at his house, priest? Wh why? Don't feel safe living at home?” Dion glanced at Viona.
Andra realizes Dion's glance for Viona. ” Sori Dion, I have to go now. The priest sir is waiting for us.” Andra runs the bike straight away, regardless of Dion.
”Dra, Dion's view to me looks different. She.kayak hates me now. Is that just my feeling?” ask Viona.
”Yes, that's just your feeling, baby. Don't think!” answer Andra.
Viona nodded.
.. ..
At Nia's house.
”Ngapain you came here?” ask Nia.
”Ketus highly!” answer Dion.
”Custom only! Wh why? Are you serious about that?” Nia was curious, Dion's face looked serious, and she also looked to be thinking.
”Nia, are you still expecting Andra love?”
Nia's eyes narrowed at Dion. ”Why, if still? Want to lecture me?” resounding.
”So, then, fight to get Andra. I will support and help you, to make Andra come back to you.”
Nia's eyes narrowed even more to look at Dion. On the face and in the eyes of the man looked serious. But, why? How sudden! In fact, Dion himself asked him to give up on Andra. Why did it help him get Andra?
”You alone? Viona..”
”I've given up on him. Moreover, something is wrong with him.” Trim Dion.
Nia raised her eyebrows. He wondered what Dion meant? Dion loved Viona. Now, he's anti-viona. What was? Something's wrong with Viona, what's that about?
”You mean? Not quite right how?” Nia curious.
”You've heard of snake man?” dion asked, his voice soft, whispering to Nia. He was afraid that this speech would be heard by people, and spread it, while the truth was not known.
Nia surprised. His face turned pale. He trembled in nervousness, like a thief caught wet in the middle of his action. Did Dion ever see anything? Did Dion know anything?
Nia calmed herself down. Trying to endure the trembling he was feeling at this moment. ”You mean? Viona is a snake man?” his voice was high, he pretended to be surprised.
”Ssttss! Slow down your voice, this is just a presumption!”
”Ok, I slow down my voice. You mean how was that? What does Viona have to do with the snake man? After all, the snake man is just a fairy tale.” said Nia.
”Well, you know the night I drove you home from Andra's house, when you cried it?” ask Dion.
Nia nodded.
Dion began to tell Nia what she had met and seen, that night. Dion also told me about Viona's dream.
Nia's face pretended to seriously listen carefully to Dion's words. He himself was thinking something. His face turned pale and pale from the first one.
”Nia, did you hear me?” ask Dion.
”Ah, yes. I heard it!”
”Kok, is your face pale? What's up?”
”Ah, no. I. I just didn't expect it. If the snake demon does exist and hunt humans. So, now Viona's in the same hunt demon snake?”
”Maybe, because earlier, I met Andra and Viona who went from home with a bag of clothes.”.
”Go from home? Carrying bags? Do they want to go to town?” crop Nia.
”Gak, a hundred days his mother has not run. How could he possibly want to return to the city? For a while now, he and Viona will be staying with the priest.” said Dion.
”Living at the priest's house? Is living in your home unsafe?”
”Perhaps! How to be safe, if the hunted are in the house? According to me, the dream of Viona, the snake-man hunting her was in existence. As it turns out, the goal is to let Andra become a target in the hunt. And as for what I heard myself that night, I assumed. They hunted Viona because Viona failed to find a collision for the demons.”, Dion said.
”Why not just report him to RT sir and RW sir? Let him be investigated by RT sir and RW sir as well as the elders of the tribe, if it is proven that he is indeed plotting with a snake demon, we hanged him.” proposed Nia.
”For a while, let it go first. It is also good that they stay with the priest. The priest is not an ordinary person, let the truth be revealed in the priest's house. Andra's mother was the victim. No more victims, including Andra. So, you should take Andra from Viona, as soon as possible. Before the man was actually made a collision by the Viona.” stressed Dion.
Nia nodded, understood.
”Ya, already. I went home first, you remember! This conversation of ours, it's enough that we both know. If there's evidence about Viona, we'll just give it to the people. Understand?” ask Andra.
”Iya, I understand.”
”And one more, quickly grab Andra from Viona.”
”Iya, that's for sure.” replied Nia.
Dion came home from Nia's house, feeling relieved. She was relieved after sharing with Nia what she thought and worried about.
