THE PENANCE: THE PEBINOR
TP - 03
Inside the plane, a man looked dreamy with a gaze out the window. On arrival at the airport, he contacted someone.
"Sister Farhan, I've arrived" said the man. None other than Faidan, Farhan's sister.
"The driver will pick you up at the airport."
After a few minutes of waiting, the driver came to pick her up. He also arrived at his sister's house.
"Is Brother Farhan inside?" Ask Faidan.
"Master left for the office this morning" the driver replied. "Mrs Gumelar is at home."
"Oh, okay. Thank you, sir."
Faidan pressed the doorbell. Yunita who was watching TV had to stop her activities. He went down the stairs and opened the main door. He saw a young man standing at the door.
"Sister Yunita?" Sapa Faidan's.
"Oh, Faidan, huh?" Ask Yunita.
"Yes, Brother. How are you?" Faidan hugged his sister-in-law.
Yunita was a bit awkward with what her sister-in-law did. Slowly the woman returned Faidan's embrace.
Farhan was busy in his office. After it was dark he came home. The man saw his wife talking warmly with a young man who was none other than his sister.
"Dear." Yunita has just noticed the presence of her husband.
Faidan turned to Farhan. "Sister."
Farhan gets a warm hug from his sister. "You ate well there, right?"
"Of course, every day Brother reminds me to eat."
Rain is pouring down the earth. The waiter serves food to the table. Farhan, Yunita, and Faidan enjoyed their dinner.
"How does it feel after returning to your homeland? During college there you never came home despite a long holiday," Yunita asked Faidan.
"It feels like home. It seems that Indonesia experienced a lot of changes during my time in Germany" Faidan replied.
"You can stay here and work for the company" Farhan said.
"Thank you, Brother. After collecting the money, I'll buy an apartment" Faidan said.
"Why did you say that? You can also stay here," Yunita said.
In the morning in the forest.
It looks like Nalesha is mopping up a dirty floor due to rain water last night. The girl looked painstaking, unknowingly Zael was watching her.
The man went back into the house. He saw the fridge. There's plenty of food there. The man also cooked.
The girl immediately finished her mopping job. Then he went to the kitchen and saw Zael cooking.
"Let me do it" said Nalesha.
"No, just sit down" said Zael.
"You sure? I mean.. Can you do it?" Nalesha asked doubtfully.
"I've lived in the human world longer than you" Zael replied.
"Oh.. That's it, is it?" Nalesha sat down and looked at Zael, who was behind him.
"How old are you?" Ask Zael.
Nalesha seemed to think. "Now 16 years."
"That means you were born 16 years ago. I've been in the human world for 40 years" Zael said.
"really? Then you were here before my mother was born. My mother is 38 years old. How many years are you?" nalesha concluded with a question.
"My age is your age plus your mother's age and then times 20" Zael replied.
Nalesha seemed to think. "After I count, the answer is 1,120, is it true? You're 1.120?"
Zael serves food to the table. "Yes, the drucless world is going faster than you can imagine. In addition, drucless begins to age at the age of 4,500 years."
"Oh, so. Had I erased the two numbers on the back, it would have been 45. Just like humans. You're 1,120 years old. If two numbers are omitted, you're 11 years old. It means you're younger than me." Nalesha laughs.
"I'm older than you to look at from anywhere" Zael said. "Eat."
Nalesha seemed excited to see the breakfast menu in the form of processed vegetables. Zael is very good at cooking.
"Well, these vegetables look delicious" Nalesha said.
"You said you were on a diet, so I made processed vegetables." Zael sat next to Nalesha.
Nalesha looked at the steak on Zael's plate. "You like meat a lot. You don't like vegetables?"
"Steak gives me good memories" Zael replied.
"Oh, yeah. You have memories of roast beef apparently."
