Voices From Other Realms

Lashdown

Toks.....Tock.... Geck...

Mira jumped out of her bed, she blinked her eyes. Sunlight had entered through the ventilation gaps above the window of his room which was still covered in curtains, a sign that the day was already noon.

Tok..

There was another door that someone knocked on.

Mira got up from her bed in a hurry, maybe Mas Dino is back, she thought.

He immediately opened the door of his room, and hurriedly walked towards the front door of his house.

" myra.....Mira..." shouted a voice that was already known by Mira.

" Yes, Susi" Mira replied as she opened the front door.

" Jeez Mira, you're making me anxious. Not usually at this hour the door of your house is still closed," said Susi, a close neighbor who lives next door to Mira's house.

Susi is the neighbor who is most familiar with Mira. They often talk together.

" Yes mbak, last night Mira woke up, shocked the picture frame mas Dino fell. So Mira was busy cleaning up the glass shards."

Mira looked out of the house, the grass and soil were still wet from the heavy rain last night.

" Go in first, mbak," bargained Mira on Susi's mother.

They then stepped inside Mira's modest house.

Susi's mother sat on a wooden chair in the living room.

" Wait a moment, Mira wash your face first and take a drink for mbak," said Mira passed to the bathroom near Mira's kitchen.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth hurriedly, Mira then poured a glass of water and brought it forward.

" Drink first mbak," said Mira.

" Thank Mir, Dino hasn't returned Mir?" tanyakanya.

" Not yet, maybe it will be noon or afternoon. Usually never more than three days Mas Dino has returned."

"Mir, be careful.photos that fall from the hangers are not a good sign. Ma'am doesn't want you. Praying a lot" Susi looked at Mira with a slightly tense face.

" Mira also feels bad, especially Mira last night a nightmare" Mira told Susi.

" What's Mir dreaming about?" susi asked, looking at Mira to know.

" Such a serem mbak, a dream about Mas Dino," said Mira.

Mira then began to tell all her dreams to Susi, mbak Susi heard the story of Mira tensely.

"You should go to Mir's bathroom last night, pee and then flush with plenty of water, said the old man anyway let the nightmare come to waste so that it doesn't come true," said mbak Susi.

" Is that so, mbak?"

" But you don't know also Mir, everything has been arranged the same above, humans can only try and pray," continued Susi sage.

"You haven't cooked Mir this afternoon, are you hungry?"

" It's because of waking up late, but if Mas Dino ga in the house Mira usual origin cook aja mbak."

" Yes already back home first, you wait for good ya later mbak back here, mbak was cooking asem vegetables," mbak Susi woke up from the seat.

" He..he..kiss Susi is the best..."

" Later to go straight in, Mira took a bath," continued Mira.

Susi's mother returned home while Mira immediately ran to grab a towel and then hurriedly took a bath.

Shortly afterwards, Susi had come back with a bowl of asem vegetables that she cooked this morning. He also put the rice he had wrapped into a plastic bag.

Susi went straight into the kitchen to put the vegetables and rice on the dining table.

"Ah....please....

Susi's mother was aghast, a scream came from inside Mira's bathroom.

" Mira...what's up? open the bathroom door, "panicked Susi.

The bathroom door opened, Mira squandered out while jumping up and down, her face as pale as cotton.

"Please mbak, lizard.. ih..," cried Mira.

" Chick? ... where's the lizard.....," Susi helped wag the clothes Mira had worn.

"Plak...," a lizard fell to the floor and escaped up the kitchen wall.

Mira wiped away her tears that had come out from fear. He was most disgusted and afraid of the creeping beast.

"Sit down Mir" Susi pulled Susi to sit down for pity to see the trembling Mira.

Susi then poured a glass of water from a teapot in Mira's kitchen, then gave it to Mira.

"Still mbak," Mira immediately gulped it down to the toilet.

" What is this sign?" mbak Susi said in her heart, for some people the fall of lizard could mean bad omen.

Susi shook her head, hoping it was just a coincidence. He didn't want anything bad to happen to Mira.

" You eat first Mir, it mbak already bring you rice as an asem vegetable, do not be too thoughtful," said Susi who saw Mira silently pensive.

" Thank you mbak, Mira his feelings are more ga tasty mbak. I thought the same thing about Mas Dino."

" I hope your Dino is okay Mir. You eat first and then even catch a cold already this lunch has not eaten."

Mira then ate, she was grateful there was mbak Susi here accompanied him when his heart was upset beyond measure.

After Mira finished eating and washing the dishes of her former meal, they moved to the living room, then sat there.

" Dino ain't calling you Mir?"

" In the forest there is no signal mbak, hp is not active."

"Obviously Dino would call me on the way home."

"Yes, you are patient, maybe Dino will be home soon," comfort Susi.

Mira nodded and tried to think positively, he hoped that the photo of Mas Dinoya who fell, his nightmare last night and the occurrence of lizard fall is not a bad sign.

She prayed in her heart that God would always protect her husband and hope that their family would always be well.

"Thank you, I've already taken Mira, I brought food for Mira."

" Ah you like we just know Mir, usually you are also the same mbak," mbak Susi chuckled.

" Truly mbak, if today there is no mbak, Mira can go crazy..not to mention because of the lizard ...."

"Udah do not need to be discussed, mbak also happy kok nemenin you here.mbak also lonely at home, you also know yourself mas Darto if work home like night."

Mas Darto is the husband of Susi. mbak Susi only has a son who has worked and wander in Kalimantan.

" How's your relationship with your in-law Mir, any progress?"

" Mas Dino has always called his mother's father, but they still don't want to accept Mira."

" They haven't spoken to Mira yet, "Mira bowed sadly.

" The patient is Mir, you then quickly have children, usually the hearts of parents will melt if you already have grandchildren," comfort mbak Susi while rubbing Mira's shoulders gently.

"Thank you, prayer is best for Mira ya mbak...."
