There is nothing more soothing than the peace of the morning, accompanied by the drizzle that falls on the surface of the earth. The third season is estimated to arrive in two months, the rice planting season in the fields is not yet started. Therefore, every morning, the Wilwatikta people choose to go to the forest and then hunt pigs or deer to eat.
When almost everyone is busy in the morning, Kliwon just wakes up on a chair in the living room with his eyes and cheeks looking bruised. Occasionally he would hold his cheek or eye and complain. "Ouch ... It turns out that my wife's punches are getting stronger day by day, has she recently practiced just to beat me?"
Kliwon looked right and left. He stood up and then checked the whole house, including the back yard which is directly adjacent to the river. His wife was not home, probably shopping at the market. Realizing the opportunity, Kliwon thought about leaving the house immediately, then headed for the Black House to look for hunting vacancies.
After taking a shower and leaving his stomach in a hungry state because he hasn't had breakfast, Kliwon opens the door of the house, prepares to head to the wild, chasing down the demons or criminals on the Black House's wanted list. Unfortunately, when Kliwon held the doorknob, right behind the door, it turned out that his wife had just come home and was holding the doorknob too.
"Shit!" Kliwon muttered.
"Where do you want to go?" Asked Enjing, his wife, from behind the door.
Kliwon gave in, then opened the door. His brain thought fast, opened the door, and in an instant Kliwon immediately said, "I'm not getting ready to go anywhere, I'm welcoming you my wife. Hehe." Said Kliwon with confidence.
Enjing just passed Kliwon without saying anything. After that incident, Kliwon sat limply on the living room chair again. Because he couldn't go anywhere, Kliwon slowly closed his eyes, then fell asleep again.
Kliwon's sleep is getting deeper. Kliwon was dragged into the dream stream Kliwon fell even further into a dream. His face looks radiant, Kliwon smiles to himself, as if he is enjoying a dream dream in the morning.
Sure enough, in a dream, Kliwon was dreaming of something that was really his wish and also his wife's wish. Enjing seemed to be carrying a baby, a smile was etched on Enjing's face, while the baby that was carried by Enjing continued to cry incessantly.
Kliwon doesn't want to wake up from sleep. He wants to continue to witness and enjoy the happiness that comes in dreams. Even though it is a dream, for Kliwon it is more than enough to heal the heart due to lack of hope.
In the dream, after Enjing was carrying the baby, now Kliwon was carrying the baby. Kliwon was so happy with his son. Kliwon laughed very loudly in the dream, and unconsciously the sound of his laughter penetrated into reality.
Kliwon opened his mouth so wide, laughter could be heard booming. Hearing the laughter, Enjing ran from the kitchen to the living room. In the living room, Enjing saw her husband was happy and laughing. Enjing approached Kliwon, about to wake Kliwon up. However, Enjing canceled waking her husband.
"I think you are getting happiness, even if it's a dream. If I disturb your happiness which is just a dream, how cruel I would be to you. " Enjing took a deep breath, then returned to the kitchen to make breakfast.
The fire in the pawon is red, burning the pile of firewood that has been put in the lower pawon lane. A pot made of clay hitches over the wasp hole. The butt of the pan is constantly being exposed to the fire. The rice is in the pan then cook. Enjing lifted the pot and then transferred the rice to a round container covered with banana leaves.
Next, Enjing fried eggs and tempeh. It doesn't take long to fry eggs and tempeh. In less than two minutes, the eggs and tempe are ready. Next, Enjing cooked the jangan lodheh. Because it took a long time, Enjing sat waiting for the lodeh vegetables to cook.
That's how Enjing's daily life is when there is no hunting job from the Black House. Enjing has been at home for three days, not going outside the house at all, either to hunt or to gather with the hunter group led by her husband.
Since failing to grab the baby brought by an old grandfather, Enjing continues to sink into the abyss of sadness. Not because she wanted to have the baby, but the opportunity to earn a little money was gone. Enjing felt that the job of snatching babies the other day was the easiest hunter's job, but instead he got beaten up by the old man. This is because the hunting jobs that Enjing and her group usually get, often have to be taken to risk their lives. Fortunately, the experience at the edge of the river when she was beaten by the old man taught Enjing, that he was not strong enough.
As for last night, when she had an argument with Kliwon about having children, Enjing didn't really care. She realized that fighting every night over the problem of wanting to have children was a waste of energy, even though she really wanted to have children. The exception was last night, Enjing was just looking for conversation and just trying to find a different atmosphere than usual, one of which was fighting with her own husband. Enjing knows that her husband is hurt by what Enjing said, but everything has happened, there's nothing to be sorry about.
Even if there was anything to be sorry about, the only things that should be regretted were the broken clay dishes, and some of the kitchen furniture that she threw at her husband. "I should have held back more, not immediately pelting Kliwon with kitchen furniture. Ah ... I got carried away with emotions, did I last night unconsciously think about having children? "
Enjing stood up, then lifted the pot used for cooking sayur lodheh. Apparently, the sayur lodheh that she cook were cooked. Enjing put the pan of sayur lodheh on the wooden dining table, then covered the pot with a few banana leaves so that the heat was maintained.
In the kitchen Enjing is still busy preparing breakfast, meanwhile in the living room Kliwon is still smiling and laughing enjoying his dreams. When the two of them were immersed in their respective busyness, suddenly heard a faint sound, namely the sound of crying babies. At first the voice was so low, but over time it became so loud, it woke Kliwon from his sleep and startled Enjing who was in the kitchen.
Kliwon opened his eyes at once, feeling that all the things he had dreamed of had come true, while Enjing who was in the kitchen felt that her mind was starting to go insane, because she heard the sound of the baby he had been dreaming of. She sat on a chair, slapping herself on the cheek, trying to convince herself that the baby's voice was just a hallucination. Meanwhile Kliwon did the same, he slapped his right cheek and left cheek without hesitation. The right cheek and left cheek were continuously slapped, until Kliwon did not realize that both of his cheeks had turned red like a blood.
Even though Enjing and Kliwon had made their cheeks red with such a hard slap, the baby's voice still sounded, it didn't disappear at all. Slowly, the sound disappeared, became soft, then came back and became very loud. Enjing is getting more and more confused, and so is Kliwon.
Enjing ran into the living room, meanwhile Kliwon ran to the kitchen, they met in the hallway. Their eyes looked at each other. Without saying a word, the two of them slapped each other's cheeks. Enjing slapped Kliwon's left cheek, and Kliwon slapped Enjing's left cheek, the energy that was exerted to do a slap was a lot of force, to the point of making them both bounce against the wooden wall.
They got up, approached each other, then looked into each other's eyes. Still without words. They walked slowly toward the door of the house. Before opening the door of the house, Enjing asked, "what kind of demon actually sneaks into our house in the morning?"
"Must be a very strong type of demon!" Kliwon said briefly. Kliwon gestured for his wife to get behind his back. Kliwon's hands prepared to pull out the kris that had been tucked in his waist. Kliwon lifted his right leg, then kicked the door with all his might.
Brakkk!!!
The door that Kliwon kicked off the wooden frame, floated several meters forward. After the door was kicked, there was nothing. "This demon is really terrible and has high powers, be prepared dear." Kliwon said by brandishing a kris as well as preparing to attack.
"Go behind, take your sword!" Kliwon jumped out of the house, looked right and left, not looking back at all. Kliwon is on alert. "Shit! Where did the devil go? I still hear his voice, but why doesn't it exist? "
Kliwon rubs his eyes then activates the Netra Kandha ability, an ability that allows the wearer to see creatures and objects from opposite dimensions. However, when he activated Netra Kandha, Kliwon still could not know the source of the baby's cry. "Is Netra Kandha not working?" Kliwon's mind is getting restless. "My wife, are you ready? Have you taken your sword? " Kliwon asked his wife, but there was no response and no answer. Kliwon looked back, and when Kliwon looked back, he saw that his wife was kneeling in front of a wooden basket with a face that was filled with tears.
"My wife? Enjing? What is that?" Asked Kliwon.
Enjing closed her mouth very tightly, not answering Kliwon's question. Only her eyes that spoke, trying to convey a happiness beyond measure. "My wife?" Kliwon walked over to Enjing, and when Kliwon looked at the wooden basket, Kliwon became very surprised.
It turned out that what was in the wooden basket was a tiny baby whose whole body was covered in banana leaves. Kliwon squatted, then hugged his wife. "What does this mean? Wait a second! Did we think that this tiny baby was a devil? Hahaha" Asked Kliwon to his wife and himself.
