“Oke, but you have to promise. You won’t cause any trouble. If you get caught doing something bad, I’ll never forgive you.” Finally, Dev can breathe a sigh of relief because Nania is willing to accept her. She had to make the most of the opportunity.
“Thank you. I promise not to cause any trouble,” said Dev later.
“Now, help me clean up this mess.” Dev’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“I haven’t cleaned my face yet,” Dev grumbled in a deliberately vague accent. Nania growls as if she doesn’t understand Dev’s complaint.
“I have to wash my face first.” Dev immediately passed from in front of Nania who seemed to be lost again in a daydream.
Night falls, Dev is lying on the bamboo chair in the vestibule. Pretending to be asleep when Nania sneaks out of the house. Secretly, she followed in Nania’s footsteps. The cute girl sauntered to the edge of the waterfall.
“What did she do?” mumbled Dev. What happened next almost made her eyeballs seem to want to pop out of their sockets. However, her focus was not so centered except on the words that Nania spoke.
“Why does it have to be that girl?” That’s what Dev heard. Nania said it at once with water movements that seemed to follow the orders of Nania’s fingers. Dev is still listening to what the latin girl will do.
“Because of you my relationship with Elios became a mess,” said Nania in a slightly tightened voice. The flow of water that was under her control was getting higher and higher like a wall building. In an instant, the waterfall formed a U.
“I hate you, Elfara!” Take off perfectly what is Nania’s disappointment.
Disappointment is framed in one sentence that instantly suppresses Dev’s heart rate. Elfara was the name she had wanted to hear and it came from Nania’s mouth. Didn’t think, didn’t think at all.
“How could Elfara be with them? Was Nania the reason why I couldn’t find her with my strength? But what I’m seeing right now, could it be ….”
Argh!
Dev groans. Suddenly, pain assaulted several parts of her body. There was a liquid dripping down her body, and she realized that it came from the waves of water that Nania hit, causing a heavy impact and breaking several branches, and tree trunks that immediately fell on her.
The place all around was flooded with water as high as an adult’s ear. Once again, Dev feels sorry because since childhood, she did not have a normal human life. In fact, she couldn’t even just learn to swim.
In the midst of panic, she tries to hold on to one of the sturdy trees, her memory recalls the time when she was drowned in her own house and shown how Elfara was tortured in such a way by a girl who resembled Nania.
“Nania!” Suddenly, Dev gets very angry.
Dev’s anger creates a miracle. Dev dispels the water that drowns her body so that the water returns to its rightful place.
From the top of the tree, Dev can see the chaos. The waterfall pool being torn apart made a terrible sound. Many fish jump around uncontrollably. Some land animals are dragged by the water pitifully.
“Where is she?” Dev starts to go down looking for Nania after things get better.
The girl lay unconscious on the edge of the pool. Dev wanted to strangle the girl’s slender neck, but after seeing her face, she couldn’t. As a result, she was only able to close her molars.
“How can a girl who looks good and innocent like you be involved in a crime?” Dev looks at Nania sharply.
“I will definitely kill you when I find Elfara!” she said again.
The sky reveals a white thread, the girl who is still in Dev’s care gives signs to wake up soon. Dev immediately pours water into the bamboo glass.
“Devada, why are you here? What did you do to me? Why is my body all sore?” A barrage of questions immediately came out when Nania opened her eyes.
“Didn’t you get it wrong? Where were you last night? You came home suddenly and just passed out.” Dev holds out the bamboo cup she was holding.
“Is that so? I last night ….” Nania got up in a hurry and let her sentence hang just like that.
“Where are you going?”
“None of your business!” Nania replied curtly. The girl grabbed the penknife that was tucked away in the crack in the wall. The movements that managed to make Dev suspicious.
“You’re not well.”
“That’s none of your business, Devada. You’d better think of yourself.”
“Why are you so stubborn? What if something happened to you on the road?”
“Yeah, it’s none of your business.”
“What if you get attacked by thugs?”
“I won’t. I’m invincible.”
“Pfft! Invincible? Have you forgotten, what happened to you last night?”
“Devada, it’s none of your business. Why are you so fussy?”
“Not fussy. I’m speaking facts. Moreover, you are a woman. No woman is stronger than a man. What if it’s a bunch of mashers who are confronting you? Aren’t you going to be eaten by them?” That sentence managed to stop Nania’s steps.
“You know what? You’re overreacting. You don’t mind things that don’t concern you!” After saying that, Nania resumed her steps.
“Says who? You’ll trouble me if you fall in pig dung.”
“Devada, go!”
“No! You’ll regret it soon enough.” Nania turned her back, then sighed and looked at Dev annoyed. She said, “You talk a lot. Go home! I’d rather fall into a puddle filled with pig dung than have you follow!” Nania swung her legs back hastily.
Not being careful, Nania slipped into a very slippery muddy puddle. Nania screams that skyrocketed to disrupt the line of birds flying in groups.
“Devada!” Nania screamed hysterically to find herself pitiful at this time.
“Why? I told you before, didn’t I? Yes, even though it’s just elephant dung, it’s not pig dung. It’s not that bad. You look beautiful and smell good.” Dev’s laughter almost explodes seeing Nania’s body and face covered in wet elephant dung. She looked at Nania as if the girl was wearing a mask in the wild.
“Dev ….” Nania was about to protest, but an elephant calf splashed her head with urine. Dev pretends not to see to hold back the tickle in her stomach.
“Watch out, Dev! I’ll make sure you’ll regret making fun of me. You don’t know you’re laughing at a snake shedding its skin.” Nani thought.
“What do you think?” Dev finally empathizes and reaches out.
“Hurry up!” said Dev.
Hesitating, Nania takes Dev’s hand. The puddle of mud mixed with dirt is not too deep, but quite slippery when touched by human feet.
“Hurry up, don’t take too long! Your smell makes my insides want to come out.”
“You can’t see, my legs are hard to move.” Nania pouted in annoyance.
With a slight gasp, Dev was forced to pull Nania’s wrist. However, from an unexpected direction, a deer and a coyote chased each other and jumped over their heads. Their arrival surprises Dev and causes her foot to fall after Nania.
“Fucky!” Dev’s curse was met with a mocking grin from Nania.
“Haha! Finally, you feel it.” Nana laughed.
