PONDEROUSLY
Requesting Permission to Mother

Five Days Later...

The sun has greeted the world. It is seen that the evening sky that changes color into a bluish orange that stretches on the horizon, which indicates the process of day and evening has stopped so that the earth welcomes the night with an open.

However, Yerim was seen still in the courtyard of his home. Where the position of the yerim body is not far from the door of his house. Not sitting in the middle of his house.

Jerim was still weaving his handcrafts. He had been coming home from the river since noon. Have caught fish in the river for dinner later. And had picked some vegetables from his mother's garden. Addition to yerim dinner menu.

Because he felt bored with the absence of things he had to do, so yerim knit with both hands. To fill in the activities this afternoon. So that he does not spend time in vain. Which makes him daydream or his mind goes somewhere.

Remembering in the mind of Jerim, when the incident occurred five days ago. Where she interacts with her mother.

His mother told him about the world where the psychic who visited his house some time ago.

About City. Yes, City.

At first, Jerim did not care. But after hearing the story from his mother about a place called Kota, made Yerim became curious. There is a deeper desire to know about the city.

I don't know why Yerim wanted to set foot in a place called the City. However he was tepis, but he could not resist the desire of his heart.

His mother did not say the place was good for him. Instead his mother said the place was very dangerous for Jerim. Not as comfortable and comfortable as where he currently lives. It was much quieter and safer as his mother said.

No. gabe. This time, Jerim believed his mother's words. Like he had a strong determination for him to have to visit a place called Kota. Jerim wanted to prove to himself that a place called the City was not what his mother had said it was.

Jerim is still weaving. But his mind was still floating in the air. While his brain was thinking hard to come up with a proper reason for his mother to immediately give permission to the jerim, to be able to go to the City.

An idea arises from within the brain of Jerim. He would tell his mother that he wanted to bring art made from his hands to the city. In order to be exchanged for groceries as his mother always told him. Jerim wants himself involved. Not her mother anymore. Well, that seems like a good, reasonable idea. May Christine allow the Jerim to go to the City for the reason that he makes later.

While weaving, Yerim looks to smile at himself. Imagine what a place called the City would look like. Ah, it feels like he really can't wait to get there.

Christine looked at Yerim who was smiling to himself. He had just arrived in the yard of his house. He immediately approached his beloved daughter.

"You're weaving?". Ask christine.

Yerim became surprised. How not to be surprised? Of course surprised, because the yerim was still in his imagination until he smiled himself like a person who is not sane.

Yerim finished his plaiting. Because this is already the end of the webbing.

Jerim turned his eyes. He looked towards his mother.

"Yes mother. Here I've finished weaving my handmade." Yerim's story is a little proud.

Christine smiled wryly.

"Then why did you just smile to yourself? What are you thinking, son?". Christine asked curiously.

Jerim was confused with his mother. His mother always knew what he was doing. No matter how hard you keep something, his mother must know better. And his mother could never be lied to until this very moment. Jerim is not a liar girl. Jerim was an honest girl. And a very nice and obedient child. It's true the saying goes, The red thread bond cannot be broken. A mother always has a strong instinct for her family, especially for her children. It is a law of nature like that.

"I'm imagining my work as a mother." Plain yerim speech.

"Your work? What happened to your work?". Ask christine.

"If only I could take him to the city. To exchange it for groceries, like you always told me first. It must be so fun, ma'am." Answer yerim.

Christine smiled wryly.

"You mean you want to go to the City?". Ask christine again.

"Yes mother. I want to do it myself. Exchange my work for groceries in the City." Jerim makes excuses.

Christine smiled cynically. Like he didn't like the words of his daughter.

"It's not good for you there. It's gonna be dangerous for you, son. Not as safe as this place we live in." Christine said with a worried tone.

Christine does not support her daughter's wishes.

"But didn't mom say I had a special advantage? My supernatural. And I've proven to my mother that I've mastered my supernatural. So I think it'll be safe for me if I'm in town. I can protect myself mother." Yerim began to argue for self-defense.

Christine began to stare at her daughter sharply.

"Do you seem very curious about the place? Do you really want to go there?". Christine asked to be sure.

Jerim nodded his head quickly. She was afraid that her mother would deny her words again. Like five days ago, when his mother explained about City life to him.

"Yes mother. I really want to go there. Please let me mother." Pinta.

Christine looked at her daughter. Actually, he was heavy to release his daughter. It is hard for him to be far from the princess. She was afraid that her daughter would be there. They do not want to go back to where they are today.

Christine took a long breath.

"You know, son, the city is very far away. You have to take it on foot. And you will pass through the wilderness that surrounds our village. I'm afraid you won't." Christine still forbids her daughter. Still trying to resist her daughter's wishes.

"I'm ready mom." Yerim convinced his mother.

"alright. Mother allow. But if you have, succeeded, quickly return to our village. Don't stay there too long. That's not good for you." Christine.

Yerim smiled happily. The smile she showed off her beautiful face.

"Yes mother. Alright. Mom, thank you so much for letting me go." Jerim.

"Hmmm. But remember one thing. If you stay there too long, I'll soon pick you up to return to our village. I don't want to be alone here, son." Christine reminded her daughter.

Jerim nodded his head quickly, afraid that his mother would change her mind again.

"Yes ma'am." Answer yerim.
