Prejacently
24. Nightmare
The black-haired little girl on her shoulder cried so much in front of the shirtless man kneeling before her. Since then he tried to tell his daughter not to cry but still the spoiled daughter never stopped crying.
"Uci already! No need to cry! I'll go for a while to work after that I'll go home and bring you a stuffed cow Uci. Uci would, right?".
The girl's cry stopped. He rubbed his cheek after he stopped crying.
"Promise?"
Deni chuckled as his daughter stuck out her little finger in front of Deni.
"Promise" he answered, who also hooked his little finger.
Not enough to get there Deni pushed his daughter's forehead making the little girl laugh moreover the impulse managed to make her face look up.
Now replace Uci that pushes his father's forehead makes Uci laugh typical of children.
The sound of the motor was heard after Deni turned on his motor engine. He smiled for a moment looking at his smiling daughter before he left for work.
"Bada! Daddy!" he shouted while waving his hands to accompany the departure of his father who had put forward his motorcycle left Uci in front of the house.
Uci lips vibrate. I don't think he wants his father to leave. Uci wanted to cry however, the cry was held back when her stepmother who got married a few months ago with her father called to make her inevitably run into the house.
The wind that was blown this afternoon felt so soothing to him. On the banks of the river were seen a group of children playing with each other while Uci was seen sitting on a rock.
"Are you serious?"
"Serious kiss. Uci's father will go home and bring the doll to Uci. He promised and Uci's father never reneged.".
"Tomorrow will show all of you a new doll of Uci."
The children in front of him looked so amazed. They whispered and commented. The father of the girl who was still sitting on this rock was indeed kind.
"Holy!!!" yusuf's cry made a group of children look over.
The man in brown skin looked sweaty. His chest went up and down looking for air supply after running. Uci had no idea why the boy looked so exhausted.
"What's wrong?"
"There's an ambulance coming!!!"
Uci stared confusedly. He turned to look at some of his peers who also looked confused not to understand.
"Is there any more free injection from the puskesmas?" guess Uci.
"No!!!"
"Then?"
"Dad you died!!!"
The face of Uci is flat. His little heart stopped beating after hearing what Joseph said. He ran without warning leaving his friends who looked surprised.
Uci running fast. Its small feet pass through the green tea garden plant and stretch quite widely. Joseph came running, followed by some curious children.
"Your can, son. You were a little girl, your mother died two years ago and now your father is gone."
The middle-aged woman stroked for a moment the head of Uci who still did not understand what was happening at this moment. He continued to step up the stairs and stood still on the lip of the door.
His chest seemed to be hit hard when he saw his stepmother who was crying while hugging the neighboring woman near the house who was also familiar with their family.
Both of his eyes stared at the wooden floor, staring at the white cloth that was tattered over something lying on the mattress. There were many people inside his house dressed in black.
Uci gulped his saliva. He stepped his legs that suddenly limp even occasionally he almost fell but his little energy tried to stay afloat.
He knelt staring from the left and right at something that was still covered in that long cloth. He lifted up his trembling fingers and pulled out a little cloth that covered something there.
Both of Uci's eyes were rounded staring in shock at the hair that was starting to look. He put his fingers away and hugged her in fear. He was silent for a moment. There's a man behind that cloth. His mind seemed to drift off into what kind of thought this time.
He looked at the people who seemed to be crying. Uci doesn't understand. At the age of five, he could not understand.
Uci looked back down at the hair that had been seen to make him dare to lift the white cloth that made Uci's body thrown away from the creepy figure who was lying on the mattress.
"Yeah!!!" frightened screams.
The blood-filled crushed face made Uci tremble so hysterically. One of the middle-aged women who had been crying earlier quickly hugged Uci trying to calm him down
"Patience, Son! This is a test from God. Your father must have been quiet in heaven."
"Dad?" whispered.
Both of his gazeful eyes were staring at the sinister face that was still clearly plastered there.
He shook. It couldn't have been his father however, the trouser came to a halt after staring at the shirt still attached to the bloody body.
Uci lips vibrate. Uci knows that shirt, that's his dad's shirt.
"Yeahahah!!!" yell Uci.
He pushed the woman who had hugged him and crawled closer to his father's miserable figure.
"A-a-a-dad!!!"
"Dad ja-jang-don't stay in Uci!!!"
"Dad promised to bring a doll but why are you sleeping?!!"
"Why is Dad bleeding?"
"Dad!!!"
"Ki don't want to be left with Dad!!!"
"Yeahahah!!!"
