WE LIVE SIDE BY SIDE (CERPENE)
Chapter VII (Prince of Worms Part I)
Siti is a beautiful, tall village girl who has black hair along her waist.
His father had long since returned to the khalik, leaving his mother named Fatimah who is now 52 years old, Siti 18 years old and his two younger siblings named Ahmat 11 years and Dini 8 years old.
Since the last 2 years Siti's mother's health has declined unable to work, which requires Siti to be the backbone in place of her mother in the field.
Siti who was everyday plain and innocent turned out to have the ability to control the fire element, the power was already hereditary in their clan that came from the Eastern Fire country.
Even so, Siti will only use her power in times of urgency and urgency.
Because he was aware of the events of the past, exactly 18 years ago, because of the carelessness he did in using his power he accidentally burned the village.
At that time one of the residents asked for help to burn weeds in his garden right on the edge of the village, Siti who was still small had not been able to fully master her power, he also issued a huge fire and could not control it, as a result of which the fire spread to the village, engulfing the houses of the people until it burned charred leaving charcoal.
Because of the mistake he made, Siti and her family were driven from the village and now live in the middle of the forest.
On a clear day Siti went to the rice fields to hoe the water flow path to get into their rice fields.
There he was surprised by two birds who were busy playing something. Because Siti was curious she was approaching.
It turns out that the two birds are fighting over a worm that is quite large than its usual size.
The worm was bleeding because it was hit by a bird, Siti who felt compassion then drove the two birds who tried to eat the worm.
Hus. hus...
After the two birds left, Siti took the worm from the ground with her hands, and brought it under the coconut tree.
“Pity, in case you are also God's creatures, why would they want to eat you? They also certainly do not want to be eaten by humans, you have been here, yes, hiding into the soil” Yalisa said while putting the worm in a pile on dried leaves.
“Partially, worms come to the surface?” Plainly Siti spoke to the worm.
After a while under the coconut tree, he completed his task of making a river path.
Not feeling the sun began to fall down the hill, Siti rushed home before dark, when she wanted to go home, she remembered their rice supplies were exhausted.
Siti was so confused and feeling sad, she was back leaning her body on the trunk of the coconut tree while sitting, Siti who had not been able to find a solution began to pensive, her mind was not clear anywhere.
Then slowly from under the dried leaves, the worm that Siti please just noticed.
Not wanting to give up, Siti stood up from her seat, and decided to immediately go home.
Then Siti accidentally saw the worm she helped earlier was still in the same place.
Then Siti watched the worm very closely, because she felt something strange about the creature, the worm who received the unblinking gaze was nervous.
“What is my only feeling huh, Looks like this worm is embarrassed because I noticed it?” inner City.
Siti who was worried about rice that had run out suddenly had an idea.
“Worm, Sorry yes, I have to make you bait, my family is more important than your safety, now let's go to the fishing river.”
Siti also grabbed the worms from the ground, and put them in her sack bag, to the place on the way, which is a large river located not far from the Siti rice field.
When Siti will hook the worm to the fishing rod, Siti seems to have no heart, and Siti also feels very sorry if the worm should just die, just like that, because the worm with a size of 25 cm has never been found in his entire life. With full consideration finally Siti decided to keep it.
Not fishing, Siti rushed home empty-handed.

“Siti why have you been home so long? I was very anxious, afraid of anything,” said his mother.
“Sorry ma'am, earlier Siti was restless because she could not bring any food from the rice fields, Siti also failed to lure ma'am, sorry Siti was just a middle-aged worm home,” said Siti.
“Worm? Can worms be eaten?” his mother said astonished.
“No ma'am, I just brought this worm home out of pity, it was fought over by two birds, I think it's better to keep it, too, because this worm is so rare bu, look at its large size.” serru Siti who started removing the worm from her bag, and showed it to her mother.
“Yeah, mother's son why, are you sick again Siti?” Saying mother
“Not bu.” Sahut Siti, while walking towards the kitchen, and put the worm on the table.
Then Siti who stood in front of their cooking furnace, again felt moody, because it was so late, but she and her family had not eaten anything.
Siti who was not calm paced, then several times she looked at the worm she had helped earlier.
“Try the worm you imagined! We eat only from the harvest, and if the harvest fails we will not feel how good it is hot rice, and if it happens, it will not be, we have to work hard every day spear and fishing as a staple food, the King never saw us no worms!”
Hardik Siti while removing fire from 10 fingers.
“Do you know, our King is surnamed Ha, he threw away my family because of a past mistake that I accidentally burned the village, and because of the power that fire my money has, he said, we can not live in the village of his own birth.” said Siti recounted past events to her pet worm.
Siti was very saddened by their lives, the fire that had been burning, was dimming following the feelings of Siti. Suddenly his sister Dini came to him.
“Sister, don't be angry again, later brother burned this house, do you want animals in this forest to drive us out too?” say Early
“Sorry Din, sister accidentally,” Siti said.
Early who pity her sister, began to memorize and stroke Siti's shoulder.
“Already, all that is just the past, our King just wants to protect his people right? besides, which leader wants his people threatened?” say Dini.
“Iya Din, you are right too, thank you for calming sister.” Siti said.
As the two of them were conversing, Dini's hand accidentally touched a strange, cold and somewhat ridiculous object in her hand, as Dini turned to find out what it was, Dini immediately shouted.
“Relax Din, It's just a worm, it's harmless!” say Siti with laughter coming out of her mouth.
“Ca.. worms are that big? Is it possible to have a stealth worm?” say Dini.
“Not where there are stealth worms in this world, sister found it in the rice field, noah, calm little” said Siti.
“Just take a break, I don't like the same worm it” preach.
“No, I don't want to throw it away, I think this is a fortune, who knows, by helping this worm we can be blessed.” said Siti.
“If made hook bait, surely can big fish” sahut Early.
The worm that heard the words Early immediately wriggled away from Early.
“Engfak can,” says Siti.
“I don't want to know, there's no place for this worm kak.” Hardik Dini, while leaving Siti in the kitchen alone.
“You why Din?” ahmad said, who went into the kitchen.
“Nothing,” sahut Early.
“kakak, Dini why?” ahmat asked Siti who was sitting on the ground floor in the brand's kitchen.
“Oh, That, he doesn't like this worm!” sahut Siti pointed towards the worm.
“Waw! The worms are very big brother, but, instead of bringing fish instead bring worms.” said Ahmat.
“Ahmat, today brother has no sustenance for fish, but what's wrong with us helping this poor animal, we also have to save another creature alley distress, even though he is not the same as us, understand?” siti advised her sister.
“Yes, I understand,” Ahmat said
“Mat, you sleep yes, so that your hunger does not feel” said Siti.
“Iya kak,”
Ahmat and Siti pass by leaving the kitchen to their respective rooms.
While the worm that Siti helped them left in the kitchen just like that.
It turns out that the worm felt sorry for Siti and her family, who turned out to be all lacking, because they did not want to be a worm that did not know thank you, the worm released its magical power.
The worm struggled as hard as he could to serve some food on the table with his sihur, the worm moved his body left and right and then rolled his body, as if doing a spell.
The cling!!
The cling!!!
From the white light that came out was not food, but a very beautiful white dress.
“Yeah, my efforts are in vain, how will I help Siti?”
The worm felt very disappointed about his inability to help Siti.
Then the worm put his body on the beautiful dress.
“Siti forgive me,” muttered the worm.
In the morning when Siti headed to the kitchen, she was surprised to see a beautiful dress on the table, then on the white dress there was a worm that was sleeping.
Siti felt confused as to who would bring the clothes into their home.
“Hei worm, whose shirt is this? if anyone loses, I do not want to be accused of being a suspect, who must face him later is you! But.. yes time worms become suspects?” say Siti to herself
“Siti, just one day you met the worm, it seems to be very familiar.” said his mother who had just come to the kitchen.
“Neither ma'am, let me see, this is a very expensive dress, only philanthropists and governments can have it.” said Siti, while showing the white dress she meant.
“True yes too! But, can we sell it? okay, so we can eat?” his mother gave him an idea.
The worm who heard the idea from her mother Siti was delighted.
“It turns out her mother Siti is smart too,” inner the worm.
“Who wants to buy it ma'am? There we will be taken to prison because this shirt, not yet completed my arson case first, now a case of maling clothes later.” said Siti.
“Oh yes, you are right also yes son,” said his mother.
“Then from that ma'am, don't,” said Siti.
“But, does your worm have magical powers?” sahut.
“No way ma'am,” says Siti.
Suddenly from behind them Ahmat came, who advised, so that the clothes are worn by Siti alone, no one will see because they live in the middle of the forest.
