The Forest Behind the House
16. Mother's Hatred

"You seem to have completely forgotten me, Sarah. All right, I'll remind you who I am. Me, Yuni."

Yes, the uninvited guest of Sarah's mother is Yuni. He came for a reason.

"Yu-Yuni."

Sarah looks very surprised. He had never met Yuni before. But Sarah knows who Yuni is. He is a subtle creature from among the most powerful jinn in the supernatural realm.

"Do you remember the sin you committed, Sarah?" tanya Yuni still remained in her place. Sit in front of the dresser casually.

"A-I .. I'm sorry Yuni. I beg you, I admit I was wrong" Sarah said, prostrating.

"Why don't you confess wrong when you want to commit a crime, Sarah?"

"You are the most vile human being who has no heart. You are a mindless mother," Yuni said again with eyes glaring at Sarah's mother.

"I know, I was wrong, Yuni. Forgive me," Sarah said as she continued to kneel for forgiveness.

"You should apologize to your son for hurting him, not me."

"To be honest, I don't want to interfere in your affairs, but, you've made my name bad because of you."

"I ... I don't intend to do that, Yuni."

"You don't intend but you do. You should think before you do anything. You provoked the anger of the genie guard whom I assigned to guard Budi. You know, don't you? That genie is the guardian genie of the jinn kingdom. That genie won't hurt if you don't provoke him" Yuni said in a high tone.

"I'm sorry, Yuni. I won't do it again" said Sarah's mother with tears of regret.

"But you did, Sarah. You already did. Can everything be pulled back? I don't think so."

"I'm sorry. I beg you, I'm sorry" said Sarah's mom.

"You .... "

"Mother."

The voice stopped Yuni who wanted to get close to Sarah. Instantly, Yuni disappears from Sarah's sight. Everything is back to normal as before.

"Mother." The saint repeated his call again.

Ms. Sarah approached the door with a very relieved heart. He opened the door immediately, but before that, Sarah wiped away the tears that had spilled. He did not want the Saints to know what was happening.

"Nothing, Bun. Saints like listening to the commotion from the mother's room, so Saints call mother."

"Ruckus? What commotion? I don't think there is one."

"Mother sure, nothing?" holy Tanya seemed to not believe what her mother said. Because before, he felt the presence of subtle creatures that were different from usual in the mother's room.

"Yes. There is no commotion, Saints. Mother is in a room right now. Maybe that's what you said noise stuffy times."

"Oh, maybe Saints misheard you."

"Hmm." Mother answered briefly.

"Yes already that, is the mother finished cleaning it? If not, let Saints help."

"No need" she answered quickly.

"Mother is done," said the mother again while forcing a smile.

"Oo, yes already so," said Suci while returning the mother's smile.

Suci left the mother's room. He brought a sense of disbelief in what you just said. Saints felt that something was wrong with her mother. He felt his mother was hiding something.

Meanwhile, the mother could breathe a sigh of relief due to the passing of Saints and the disappearance of Yuni. But, my mother was annoyed by what had just happened. He did not accept the impromptu visit Yuni made to him.

Instead of regret, mother alias mother Sarah was even upset and did not accept what had just happened to her. He intends to return Yuni's treatment to her. Even if he cannot eliminate Yuni, he will eliminate those who are close to Yuni, that is, Budi.

Your frustration with Budi is increasing. He blames her for what just happened to him. He does not accept losing a pet that he has had for a dozen years just because of trivial things.

"Awas you," said the mother, holding her hand tightly while looking at her face in the mirror.

"I will make you suffer, because you have made me lose the most precious thing in my life" said the mother, holding back her wrath.

_________

It has become commonplace for humans, feeling dissatisfied, resenting and hurting each other. Human nature is so much. There are good, there are bad. All are opposite. Not infrequently, they hurt each other just because of a misunderstanding they created themselves.

Man will not be satisfied if the lust he has is not controlled with a clean heart. If he obeys the heart, then lust will reign in him. That's what Sarah is feeling right now. He hates, hurts, envies, and feels dissatisfied with his life right now. Especially when he lost a pet genie that he had kept for a dozen years. It further triggers his hatred and heartache on Budi.

Sarah decided to go back to her teacher outside the village. He wanted to ask the genie back for him to keep. Surely, the genie who has more power than the jinn that Yuni has destroyed before.
