Rea ran from the mud land towards the edge. But, his footsteps were inevitable from the reach of Gema's hands. And then he came back into the lumpuran. Like it happens over and over again. And all that time they kept laughing.
" Forgiveness", please echo. His breathing was stingy, with his stomach cramping as he continued to laugh, "The echo of the lampuun. "the strangulation, now his body was in the man's embrace, with legs hanging over the mud.
" you lost hmm.. ".
" Yes yes, I lost. Please put me down "he said trying to wave.
Echoes smiled triumphantly, hearing the acknowledgement of the defeat. But Rea's body was still tightly clenched by.
" Echoes please "Rea pleads once again.
He panicked a little when the man did not lower his body. Instead his body continued to be lifted, and his eyes enlarged when he realized where he was going to be taken, "The echo of his voice was in vain, because his body had now managed to land in shallow water, it was playing with small fish.
And then the man followed.
The water that had been so clear, had now turned into a milky brown color.
" jeez, we're making this water dirty echo ", exclaimed Rea in panic. Not a single small fish was seen, covered in murky water caused by mud on their bodies.
Rea held back a smile, when she saw the man beside her now being serious about cleaning up. Wash every part of his body that is filled with mud. And in an instant, the face that had been covered in black soil was now clean, revealing his white face and wet lashes.
Not until there, the man then opened a wooden brown polo shirt that he used.
Glug
Unknowingly Rea gulped, then turned her gaze away. His face was hot for a moment. He took a slow breath, trying to calm the heartbeat that suddenly worked faster.
" Are you not going to wash your body ? ", a question that made Rea almost flutter, "mm yes" he said without daring to turn his face away.
" Do you need help ? "
Rea gulped again, "no no. I can do it myself ".
Quickly he rubbed himself. Cleaning every inch of his body that was exposed to mud, which turned out that brown soil almost filled all his body.
" Come here to help "
" I can do it myself "
" You cannot alone "the edict of Echoes, which moves to pull his body, "your hair is still covered with mud", he said, without the permission of his big hand rubbing his head to the tip of Rea's hair. He didn't realize there was a heart beating so fast when he did that.
" i can be alone" said Rea slowly, trying to remove the man's hand from his head. But Echoes are like pronouncing his words.
" Tilt your body to the back of his "command.
" huh "
" Can't you ? "
" Then wake your head here" he said again. Rea had not understood his orders. The man patted his chest, which was currently in plain view by Rea's eyes. Whereas before, half-dead he turned away so as not to see that part.
" Come, your hair will harden" said Echoes, who did not wait to pull the woman's body closer.
Rea's body was half floating on the water, with a face that pitched towards the sky. Her eyes closed, whenever the water that washed her hair hit her eyes.
He silently watched the face from where he was looking. Starting from the chest field. The firm jaw. Plum red lips.flat nose lobes filter the incoming air. Everything is clearly visible from its place. The wet lentic eyelashes, looked so awesome at the time.
" Am I handsome ? " said Echo, with a widened smile.
Rea quickly withdrew his gaze. Switching it in all directions, "is it done ? ", he said turning around asking withholding half a numbness of embarrassment.
Silent moment.
" Done ? " reply to the man. After repeatedly making sure not a single piece of mud was left in her hair.
" Thank you" said Rea who immediately got up from the water. Without looking again, he climbed on the dry land that was grown in clumps.
" Do you want to leave me ? ".
Rea's footsteps stopped instantly, "quickly Echoes. I was cold ", he replied without looking at the man. There was a lie from his words. It was cold, but not to the point of making him want to rush away from there. That's not the real cause.
Hearing that quickly Echoes up from his place, he did not even have time to put his clothes back together calmly, "you are cold ? " he asked Rea. After equalizing his footsteps with the woman.
Rea simply nodded without making a sound. And keep walking, on the little road that made him slip.
For a moment, he smiled. I realized that the little road was now filled with mud.
" It looks like we will be hit with a fine" he told Gema, even he still smiled as he said that. For a moment he forgot, the reason why he was walking so fast.
" Hemmm", Echoes nodded in agreement. The clumps of rice that were at their side, now no longer stood up straight, the situation really looked chaotic. Exactly like the bushes that had just been bedded by a large cow, even more irregular than that.
Just now the echo turned around. He no longer saw Rea in front of him, "Rea "he cried calling her name. His eyes looked wide at the level of terracing.
" I'm here Echoes of a "strangled woman who is now sitting on a swing hanging from a rope tied to a blocked wood.
Echoes run fast towards that place, "you are this. "he said, he was annoyed but also pushy at the same time, "isn't it cold ? "
" No longer "rea replied casually. He looks like a kid who just found his new toy, "but your shirt's wet Rea ".
Echoes sigh, "later you will catch a cold... ".
" You too . "rea replied before the Echoes were finished with her words.
" Yes, let's both change into clothes "
Rea seemed silent for a moment, no matter what he thought of the invitation of the Echoes at that moment, "can you swing me "he asked.
" Please", continued with the pupils of the eyes that were deliberately raised. It certainly will not make people refuse his request, "just for a moment, okay "echo said to give conditions.
" Okay "rea replied excitedly, her smile was as bright as the eyes of the afternoon at that time.
His body was now hovering over the clump of rice, with legs dangling. Every time the swing would stop, he was always ready to exclaim, asking Echoes to swing his body tighter, "firmer still Echoes of his "whimper like a five-year-old child.
" No, you'll fall down" later ".
" I hold on very strongly ".
" No, like this is enough" echoed firmly. Rea's lips conicaled instantly.
" Alright, a firm grip" said Echo relented, then swung the woman's body as she wished. There was a line of smiles that widened when staring at the happy face of the woman before him, "this pleases the echo "excited the woman cheerfully.
His head pitched to the sky, his hands stretched out enjoying the wind that blew.
" Once again "he said asking again, and Gema had no power to refuse. Especially after seeing her smile.
An hour later, they were already in a large temple. It was given the name of a goddess. Rea was again like a child discovering a new game. Walk cheerfully across a small bridge surrounded by hundreds of lotus flowers.
" Rea, walk more slowly "cried Echoes. If Rea is like a child, then he is like a father who watches over his little daughter.
Now they go hand in hand, occasionally Rea's fingers are in the grasp of the Echoes.
And regardless when one of them starts to feel awkward.
" Can we take a picture here ? " ask Echoes, at their male guide. The man nodded, "of course master", he said as he took the camera hanging from his neck.
Echoes pull Rea's hand. Then when the woman looked confused, she pointed to the guide who was now ready to capture their moment at that time.
" It could be even more close" said the camera holder giving directions.
Awkwardly Rea clenched her body at Gema. His hands moved hesitatingly to embrace. But Echoes, like knowing that. Then pulling onto his two hands and tethered to his waist, "is this any better ? " cries Echoes at their road guides. And the man nodded.
" Try more friendly again ".
Rea gulped hearing that. Hugging like this alone had made him almost crazy from nervousness.And suddenly his body was pulled by the Echoes. His position now moved to the front of the man and from behind Gema hugged his waist tightly, with lips landing on the tip of his head. It was a long time ago, until the guide pointed his thumb.
Rea was silent for a moment, observing some people coming in and out of a temple. Then observe quite a number of people who are in a pond, with a small fountain coming out of several statues.
" Can I help you Miss ? "
Said someone who suddenly approached him. Rea smiled, then shook her head.
" Do you want to pray ? "
Rea glued, "excuse me, but my religion is not Hindu ".
The man who had approached her smiled, "Our goddess receives prayers from anyone and any religion Miss ", she said. Rea momentarily glued, staring back at the small temple that now looks empty.
" Pray. Ask what you expect there "
Rea was still silent, and looked doubtful.
" Our goddess received all hope. Except for greed" said the middle-aged man.
Rea nodded, before finally his feet properly moved towards the temple.
Echoes observed this, and then approached the old man who was now looking at his wife, "why is my wife there ?".
The man pulled. And quite surprised by his presence, "I invited him to pray sir "he explained.
The echo is silent now. Staring did not turn to the woman who was struggling in a temple, and not long ago the woman was finished.
" Let's go home "take him.
Rea nodded. However, before that he said goodbye to the man who was still standing with them.
Then suddenly it rained. Echoes turned to pull Rea's hand, "let's "take her one more time.
" Miss "call the man. Stopping the legs of Rea who began to want to move running, so did the Echoes.
" Yes "
" May I know what you just prayed for ? "
Rea looked at Echoes for a moment. And quite hesitant to say what he just prayed, "mmm, I asked to be immediately given offspring "he said smiling awkwardly. While Echoes was now looking at him without blinking.
Hearing that, the old man smiled, "It seems like the Goddess received your prayer Miss "she said while pitting to the sky, which then passed. While Rea was still fixated, she looked up at the sky, "if that's true. Thank you "he said smiling.
