The Forest Behind the House
8. Mom's message

Meanwhile, in Budi's room after the departure of Saints. A beautiful girl appeared suddenly Out of nowhere, which was obvious, that girl was a very well-known girl.

"Yu-Yuni?"

"Yes, it's me. Do you miss me?" yuni asked with a sweet smile. Whatever Yuni's smile, to Budi, that smile was terrifying.

"Where did you come from?"

"Ha ha ha .. Don't ask where I came from. Clearly, I can come from anywhere and anytime I want."

"Why did you come to my house?"

"To see you."

"Go you! You don't want to see" said Budi in a high voice.

"Why don't you want to? You are my future husband."

"Crazy. Totally bonkers. You are the devil, I am, I am human. We are so much different. Anyway, I already have a lover."

"Is the girl who just left your girlfriend, Budi?" yuni asked in an annoyed tone.

"Yes, she's my girlfriend. You've seen it, haven't you?"

"Why do you have a boyfriend?"

"You can't make me your future husband because I have a future wife who I'll marry later."

"Then, I just kill your lover so you don't have any more wives" Yuni said lightly.

"Damn! Do not try to hurt the Saints. You touch him a little, and I will destroy you" said Budi very angry.

Budi's voice sounded outside the house loud sangking Budi talk. Budi was really upset and angry with what Yuni said. The fear he felt had now disappeared. There is only burning anger.

Mama who heard the commotion went straight to Budi's room. He doesn't want to know why anymore.

"God!" my mother said while opening the door.

"What's up, son?" asked my mother very worriedly.

"He's coming, Ma. He's coming to our house."

"He who is Bud? Who came here?" ask mama confused.

"That girl," Budi said as he pointed his index finger at the corner of the room space.

Mom looked in that direction. Mama didn't see anything. All you see is a dark blue wall.

"Bud, there's no one, son."

"My mom didn't squirm at him."

Mama just kept quiet. Mama's hair stands tall. Mama feels creepy now. He remembered the words of Mr. Bujang before the old man came home.

"Ba-how can it be like this, Bujang? What's wrong with Budi? What was the mistake that He had made until my son was watched over by the subtle-bodies?" asked my mother very sadly.

"I still can't figure out what's the real cause of Ms. Nunung. Honestly, the knowledge I have is still at a level below these subtle creatures. Hence, I'm very hard to know what really happened."

Then how about Mr Bujang? What should we do to protect our children?" ask papa anyway.

"For now there is no. But, you better not let your mind go blank. Because when your child's mind is empty, it will be easy to steal your child's breadfruit, then replace the tribe with themselves, enter into the body of Budi and master it."

"Is there nothing else we can do Mr Bujang?" ask papa.

"As I said just now, for now there is nothing."

"Ma, mama." Calling to mama.

Suddenly, the mother awoke from her daydream. "Y-yes Bud. What's up, son?"

"Why daydream?"

"Mama is not daydreaming. Mama just thought about what you said just now. You better not pay attention to what you see, son. Just ignore it if you see something that you think is weird."

"Can Mama see him?" ask Budi curious.

"No" said the mother, shaking her head.

"Do you think I'm hallucinating?"

"No, son. Mama believes what you say. That's why I ordered you, ignore what you saw. Just let them roam. You have to remember, our world and their world are different."

Be slow to nod. He understood what Mom said. It's hard to do, but maybe he can try.

"Yes, don't have a lot of unnecessary thoughts. Better, you rest so that your body recovers as before."

"Where are you going?" ask Budi when he sees his mother rising from the seat.

"Mama's going to get out first."

"You don't want to go with me, Ma?"

"Darling, mom wants to accompany you. But you will not rest comfortably if mama is friends. Surely you wouldn't sleep if you were still here, would you?"

"Hmm," said Budi while nodding slowly.

"Yes, my mom left first. There's nothing quick call mama or papa," she said before leaving.

"Yes ma."

After mama left, Yuni immediately reappeared. He sat beside the bed. He also held Budi's hand.

Budi who already knew that it was Yuni, he decided to hold back. He did not want to open his eyes to look at Yuni.
