4 Dry

"Huh, once again my body changed, even though I'm comfortable with my body the same age as Moin-Moin and a man. Ah ... annoying, now I'm a grown woman, but my movements seem like male movements, maybe women today are tomboys, have short hair and have strong muscles. Do I have to disguise myself as an athlete! A leaf falls, let me read what my mission this time.

"My name is Samy now, 24 years old. Blablablabla ... weakness in running. "

If my weakness in running means I'm not disguised as an athlete but as a maid, haha ​​my own joke. Alright, now which way is the house of the cunning witch who keeps attacking me, it looks like I was stranded too far, but keep going with the flow of the water.

It's dusk, I have walked so far but I haven't found the nose of Moin-Moin. Stop, who is the person sitting on that wooden bridge? I walked faster to confirm it, it turned out that it was a woman with long hair, it seemed she was crying, I better meet her.

"Hi Mom, are you lost? Why are you crying?"

"Mom? I think you are 3 years older than me, " she said while wiping hers tears.

"Oh ya, I mean friend. Emm ... are you okay?

"Do you think I look okay?"

"Of course not. So what made you cry? " I'm more and more surprised.

"I was alone for a long time, I wanted to catch up with my husband, but I haven't seen my son yet. Hiks ... hiks ... my poor son, I should have protected him but I couldn't give birth to him, I entrusted him to someone else, I ... hiks ... hiks .... "I don't know what this woman is talking about, how can give birth through someone else?

"Be patient, no one chooses to have bad luck, but how we handle it is the most important thing. Right now you think that you are the only one who feels you are not getting justice, but you are wrong. Those who are in distress, those who are poor, those who are neglected, those who are sick, and those who are struggling are all struggling to live. They believe that the world is just, there are times when happiness is on their side and trials are always on humans." I said that as if I understood very well 'what is life?'.

She looked at me with a smile. We talked a little longer, somehow when I talk to him it feels very comfortable, like someone who has known each other for a long time, for me she is the second person who makes me comfortable. Now I miss Moin-Moin.

"I think it's dark already, I have to find someone," I said as ended the conversation.

"Oh well, I hope you find it." The woman hugged me and we parted. Even in an instant I started missing her.

Finally, I found Buroe grandmother house late at night. I'd better sleep in a banyan tree hut, a place full of fond memories with Moin-Moin.

"Mom, who are you?"

Seems like someone asked me. I was very sleepy and opened my eyes slowly, it was Moin-Moin.

"Oh yes, sorry. Moin-Moin are you okay? " I rushed over without thinking that my current situation couldn't possibly make Moin-Moin understand.

"Wh… wh… who are you? How do you know my name? " That's right, Moin-Moin got scared.

"Emm ... no, oh I mean Nuwa, my son once talked about you, yeah." Will my way of speaking convince her? "

"Oh ... Nuwa. So you are his mother, but ... isn't that Nuwa the name I gave him? "

"Yes yes yes that's how he told me that you gave him the name Nuwa. Besides, I forgot to name him." Oh God, is it over, I don't know what I'm talking about.

"Ha? Forgot ... "(break up)

"Okay, have you eaten? I will cook for you. " It seemed like today's female bodies were diligent at everything, enough to make Moin-Moin not think about it.

Moin-Moin ate my delicious grilled fish, I don't know if this hand is good for making Moin-Moin get love from a mother. If I was destined for Moin-Moin in this form can I hope that Moin-Moin will be my son? It's hard to say the impossible.

"Nuwa's mother, will Nuwa not come back? Is he mad at me? " I am sad to see Moin-Moin, if hers memory was erased he would not have felt confused like this.

I hugged Moin-Moin like a mother, "Nuwa has to go, I don't know when he will come back, he just left you to me." It's a little hard to lie.

"Will you be with me while Nuwa is gone?"

"Emm."

"He left without saying good-bye, just as Violet left me. Grandma Buroe was right, I tried to befriend and protect them, but all they did was leave me, heartless, "said Moin-Moin, grimly and sadly.

"You're wrong Moin-Moin, is that what you think? Do you know situation they are in all the time? Fear, even if they have to die bravely, it's all for you, "I replied in a slightly loud voice. Moin-Moin fell silent and frowned, hers gaze filled with confusion.

"I've never trusted anyone, except Grandma Buroe." Moin-Moin replied to me and left my hut with hers brusque steps.

Moin-Moin was totally influenced by that cunning old magician. Well, Moin-Moin doesn't want to believe me, then let me continue my mission, even if Moin-Moin is at stake, I don't care.

Tiring afternoon in the dry season. I saw Moin-Moin picking up firewood that had fallen because of its weak grip. Should I go down and help Moin-Moin, ya? Just help, besides if there are no Moin-Moin I always feel like I don't exist.

I took all the firewood in Moin-Moin's hands and brought it to Grandma Buroe's house. However, I saw a small room that looked like a warehouse. I'm thinking of storing this wood there.

Brukkk ....

A book fell from the shelf and startled me. I think everything is so worn out and the book looks old. It was disturbed in my mind when I saw the title of the book that I held "Asmara Pangeran Buth 1870". This book is very old, now it's 2020. Maybe this book is a legacy from Buroe's ancestors. Maybe it's an interesting story, so I'll just borrow it for a day.

At night, I take the time to read the book I found earlier. Actually I haven't had the chance to ask Buroe's grandmother's permission, but because it's only a day tomorrow I will return it to its original place. I read it carefully and with great curiosity, because based on the contents of the book is not engineering, this book is a book written based on history, could it be that Buroe's grandmother ...
