Dwarf
75. Back to Dreaming

"Do you want to stay here and talk to that buffalo all day?"

The talking saoda immediately stopped his speech and opened the cage door to make the buffalo child immediately step into the cage without the need to be expelled.

Saoda stepped away passing right in front of Tuo who looked silent. He glanced at the departure of Saoda who instead went to leave him alone here.

"A strange girl" said Tuo, then closed the gate tightly.

...****************...

The atmosphere tonight as usual is encountered by the sound of nature. What else if it wasn't the ringing cry that accompanies dinner today. Simple food and a new atmosphere, yes today there is no sadness on Saoda's face and no crying is heard from the little girl's mouth.

Even earlier during the session to take a meal Saoda who took a hut of rice and put it on a dish made Dodi and Tuo Confusion. Saoda's attitude makes the two men look at each other again made.

"Do you want vegetables?" saoda asked in the middle of dinner.

The sound of chewing that initially dominated the atmosphere in this kitchen room is now suddenly silent.

"No," Tuo replied accompanied by his trousers.

"You don't want to poke either?" saoda asked, making Tuo look at his father.

Puang Dodi who was silent turned to look at his son and Saoda who was apparently looking seriously at him.

"Ah, no need!" reject it.

After the dinner activity is finished now Saoda immediately grabbed the tableware and washed it clean even he immediately put it on the plate rack.

Well, Saoda was just doing what he always saw at home and this is what Indonya always does.

After cleaning the tableware and table Saoda now switch to sit in front of clothes that have dried after this morning he was washed and dried it in the hot sun.

The seated Tuo could only remain silent with his confused gaze. I don't know why this little girl has really changed. Just yesterday he heard the cry of the little girl but now he is confused because this girl who acts every day as if she did nothing wrong.

Tuo who had been silent since then immediately turned his head to look towards Puang Dodi who was seen smiling while looking at Puang Dodi.

Puang Dodi was only happy because he had a daughter who could take care of the house. The chair that was always dusty when he wanted to sit was now clean without any dust.

Look now at what Saoda is doing now. He folded the clothes that he hung every day on the edge of the wall of the house.

He was also the one who had washed the tableware and also the one who had provided the food for tonight.

"Sir!" call Tuo.

Puang Dodi glanced.

"What?"

"Is he still sick?"

"Sick how? He looks fine."

"What's okay? He's acting weird."

"It's not weird, son. He just tried to forget everything by busying himself. Let him do this, son! There was a time when she would go back to remembering the incident and then she went back to being the saddest little girl."

Hearing that made Tuo now speechless. True what his father said. It is better for this little boy to behave like this than that he should cry and be quiet all night.

The sounds of the ferocious and authentic coyote of the coyote are heard out there. Saoda laid her body on the mattress that this time had been hers. The chill from the surface of the pillow made him feel calm and comfortable.

Saoda who was intending to close his eyes now turned to look at Tuo who was peeking at the entrance.

"What's wrong?" saoda asked with a confused face.

Tuo smiled then immediately raised his entire body. He stepped in.

"Are you sad?"

"Sad?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Tuo nodded although he honestly did not believe it completely.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"none. I just made sure" he said, then walked away from Saoda who was confused. Now it was not Tuo who had always been confused by Saoda's attitude but, it was Saoda who was confused by Tuo's attitude.

"The man is strange" said Saoda, then turned his back to the surface of the door.

Tuo who was intending to step away was again stepping closer to the door of the room and peeking back.

He silently looked at Saoda who had turned her back.

"God!" reprimanded Puang Dodi who directly touched Tuo's shoulder who was jolted in shock.

He turned his head with his shocked face staring at Puang Dodi who was laughing as if satisfied to have surprised his son.

"Bather why? You just surprised me."

"What are you doing here?" tanya Puang Dodi made Tuo silent while scratching his non-itchy nape .

Puang Dodi turned his head, he stared at Saoda who was lying there. Looks like he's asleep.

"Wanna peek at him sleeping?"

"I'm just making sure she doesn't cry. She is a little girl who likes to cry," he explained then stepped away leaving Puang Dodi who was now speechless with her confused face.

Saoda who was on top of his bed was now sighing deeply. He silently stared at the surface of the wall of his room which was blocked by mosquito nets.

Saoda closed both of his eyes. He wants to sleep now. I can't wait for the morning and get back to doing what I did today.

Saoda scrunched his forehead he heard the cries of the crowd who did not know how many people it was.

Saoda's eyes opened and his eyes were round staring at the number of people before him.

Saoda frowned confusedly. He glanced at his palm that touched the dirty surface of the ground. His head also touched the ground.

Where is he now? And what he did in this place. Saoda who turned to the left and right again reminded of the burning incident.

Is he dreaming again or is time retreating?

"Now let's burn him!!!" shouts Sae's poang while lifting jerkin up made everyone scream.

"Yes, burn him!!!"

"Burn!!!"

"Burn!!!"

Hearing that made Saoda's eyes round. What are they saying? Who would they burn?

Saoda's eyes now narrowed to look at one by one the people in front of him. They were all the ones who had burned Indo and his Father.

Saoda turned to look at the figure of Indonya who had now been lying in a pool of blood on the ground. There are a lot of rocks there.

"Indo" said Saoda.

Puang Sae stepped across Saoda who now turned to look at Puang Sae directly watering Sambe's body with kerosene from the jerkin.

"Don't!!!" yelled Saoda who immediately ran intending to grab the kerosene jerkin trying to prevent it.

Saoda was surprised not to play when his fingers managed to penetrate the kerosene jerkin.

What's the matter?

Saoda raised both his hands and looked at him with a astonished face. What is happening to him.

"Yetoooooo!!!"
