Disturbances

After Mira and Susi's trade runs out, Mira is done in the kitchen.

From the morning Mira felt restless, there were no signs of the Dino mas would return.

"Is my dream just a dream?" lamented Mira.

He could hardly resist his longing anymore.

For 180 days Mira tried to wait patiently, but 180 days had passed but her hope was still there.

Mira's tears involuntarily flowed down her cheeks.

Mira held back her heartache, she was afraid that Dino would not come back again.

During this time every time Mira always mention the name of her husband in her long prayer.

He always pleaded with the Creator so that his Dino mass was safe and could return home.

Si Poni approached him, as if he understood Mira's sadness.

He slept curled up near Mira's feet.

Mira looked at Dino's beloved dog with a million sorrows.

"Poni, is your master coming back?" ask Mira.

Pony blinked his eyes, as if he were listening to Mira's words.

*********

This morning Dino woke up with a fresher body.

He had not slept on a soft bed for a long time.

Dino walked out of the room, still somewhat staggering.

He was looking for his mother in the kitchen.

Her mother was looking at Bi Siti, their maid who only came to work in the morning until noon.

Bu Siti looked at Dino with wide eyes, Ms. Broto had not told her that Dino had returned.

"Aden Dino...Is this Den Dino?" ask Ms. Siti.

" Yes Bi Siti, it's Dino" replied Dino.

Dino's mother got up from her seat and told Dino to sit down.

His son looked fresher than last night when he was just back.

"Hungry Ma'am." said Dino.

"Bu Siti.please get rice for Dino to eat," Bu Broto ordered on bi Siti.

Bi Siti washed her hands, then took the dishes for Dino and filled them with rice.

"Still Bi Siti" said Dino.

Dino spooned vegetables and side dishes into his plate.

"Take Bi Siti really good," praised Dino.

He eats with gourmand.

" Have you left for work, Mom?" ask Dino.

"It's morning, son," replied Dino's mother.

After Dino finished eating, Broto approached her son.

Dino's mother pulled up the bench next to Dino, and sat down next to her son.

" Dino, can you tell mom what you went through while you were in the forest?" ask Dino's mom to know.

Dino shook her head, she also did not know what she had been through all this time.

Dino can't remember the events from which he started to get lost.

"Then the wound on your hand? what makes it like that?" fawning mother Dino.

Dino looked at the scar on her wrist.

Dino thought hard, nor did he know how he could get a scar on his wrist.

The scar was not just one, but many.such as a puncture scar from a pointy-shaped object.

"Dino doesn't remember Mom" Dino replied.

"Then what can you still remember, son?"

Dino thought for a moment, not much he remembered.

"Continue..?" dino's mother looks impatient to hear the continuation of Dino's story.

" Then Dino shot the deer right in the heart."

"Dino thought the deer would die immediately, but it turns out that Dino missed the deer was still able to get up and escape."

"Then Dino and Poni chased the deer," continued Dino.

"But wait a minute...Poni...Where is Poni?" Dino just remembered the brown-haired dog.

Dino pinched her head which was very painful.she could not be forced to remember everything.

"Why Nak? you got a headache?" asked Bu Broto worriedly.

"Have not been forced to remember again, later slowly," Ms. Broto felt a little guilty, she too urged her son.

"Let's ask your father to take you to the hospital, son, you should get checked out" Dino's mother said.

"I want to take a shower, Mom.. Can you please help papah Dino to the bathroom?" dino Pinta.

His head ached after being too forced to remember the incident he had experienced.

Broto helps Dino walk to the bathroom and leaves Dino to bathe herself.

" Be careful, son, call me when you're done" said Dino's mother.

" Why not invite Neng Mira, wife den Dino here Mom? wouldn't it be if his wife could take care of den Dino?" chirps bi Siti.

"Don't mention the woman's name Bi Siti." Ms. Broto was visibly upset.

" But Ma'am pity den Broto Bu..," said bi Siti.

" Already...bi Siti take care of the work of bi Siti herself.do not be too meddling which is not a matter of bi Siti" replied Bu Broto ketus.

Bi Siti immediately silenced, she did not dare to reply again.

"Ah...who are you? get out of here.." Dino suddenly shouted in the bathroom.

Hearing the bathroom door open, Dino who had finished bathing and was dressed looked frightened...

"Dino you why, son?" Broto ran over to his son.

Bi Siti also spontaneously ran up to Dino.

"Den Dino why Den?" tanyanya follow anxious.

"I.that's..." Dino pointed towards the bathroom, her face already as white as cotton.

Dino held onto her head which was very painful, Dino's eyes slightly closed. It droops....Dino fainted.

Bu Broto swiftly held Dino's head from hitting the floor.

"Bi Siti..try please see.what's in the bathroom," he asked bi Siti.

Ms. Siti was in a hurry to check into the bathroom.

"There's nothing Mom." replied Ms. Siti confused.

"Try to help lift Dino bi.., please" said Ms. Broto.

The two of them painstakingly dragged Dino's body, which although very thin but still felt heavy for the two fertile women.

They were not strong enough to lift Dino's body, just with all their might and drag Dino's body and lift it little by little and lay it on the teak mat near the kitchen.

The two women who were equally loose-bodied seemed to have been bathed by sweat after working hard to help Dino.

" Bi Siti can help get some water to wake Dino up?" asked Bu Broto with a breath of breath.

Bi Siti calmed her breath, then took out a basin of water and moistened Dino's face with a little water.

"Wake up Den Dino..," Bi Siti called out to Dino while patting Dino on the cheek.

"Dino.

Slowly Dino began to open her eyes, she opened her eyes.

Then he looked like he was scared, his eyes were looking.

" Dino...What do you see, son?" ask Dino's mom.

"Female.

"Female? whose girl?" ask Dino's mom.

Bi Siti rubbed her nape which suddenly goosebumps.

" The figure of a woman without eyes.just look at her nose and mouth.His long tongue protruding.

"A...AS...?" Bu Broto and bi Siti looked at the trembling body...
