FOCUS ON YOUR GOALS
-----------------
"Brother Ejh, wake up! Take a shower and then we go"
I felt a soft thump on my left shoulder.
The cold that penetrated spontaneously made me pull the blanket around my waist, covering my whole body.
"Brother Ejh, hurry up, it's already 6 in the morning, we'll miss the bus!"
"What!!!"
"Why didn't you wake up me earlier!"
I ran grabbing towels and toiletries to immediately go to the toilet.
I just remembered that this very morning, we are leaving for going to Pacitan. Because Zahid's cottage only stopped by to pick him up, after that only to Pacitan.
"Hurry up, it's been a long time in the bathroom!"
"Done, about to change clothes."
I called out slowly.
***
Zahid and I walked to the big market in Jombang city to look for public transportation, because before getting on the bus we had to take public transportation first.
Yes, it takes about 15 minutes from the public transportation to the bus stop.
The whole way I was silent. Zahid was also silent. So we are both silents. Maybe I'm thinking about something if I was thinking about what happened last night.
Still ringing in my mind, about the many questions that arise from it.
Who saw me last night?
Who owns that place?
Or who?
Why didn't you appear, I've been waiting for more than years. But my hope will not stop to see you again. Until whenever I will wait for you because there are so many conversations that I have to convey to you.
Miss you Awan.
Moreover, the word "SORRY" will be the first to come out of my lips.
I didn't expect the tears to slowly trickle down my cheeks. I quickly swipe it before Zahid or anyone else here found out.
Yes, I don't care, but I'm just embarrassed.
"I'll pay"
Zahid exclaimed.
I just nodded my head.
Okay, now we are at a T-junction that I don't even know the name of. The point is waiting for the bus here.
"Do you know my mother?"
I turned my head when a small child asked next to me.
"Hmm, where are you from?"
I replied softly while squatting in front of him.
"Brother Ejh!"
I immediately turned to Zahid when he called me.
He gave me an eye code, essentially "Look Around!"
I looked around and sure enough, many people were looking at me muttering and whispering.
I looked again at the little boy in front of me.
Oh my gosh, he turned out to be one of them.
I immediately stood up and asked him using telepathy.
"Where are you from?"
He just shook his head slowly.
"Who?"
Zahid asked.
"Hmm, I don't know, I haven't met. Just saying hello"
I replied in a low voice.
By the way, Zahid already knows that I am different from the others. Yes, sometimes he also doesn't believe in things beyond human reach.
And sometimes he also wants me to open his mind, so he can see too.
But I don't want to, because it's a big risk.
Not as imagined.
"Where's my mom?"
He asked again.
I just kept quiet and looked at him deeply.
He was a small child, a boy of 7 years about his age. short hair and school clothes. I think he just died because his whole body still looks good and like a normal human.
Hmmm, what did he die of?
"Wait here, maybe your mother will come soon!"
He just kept quiet and sat under a banyan tree by the roadside.
"Come on Brother Ejh!"
Zahid tapped my shoulder when the bus had stopped in front of us.
Zahid and I rushed up and found a place to sit together.
"just sleep after this, because the journey is quite long!"
"Hmmm yeah"
After Zahid suggested sleeping along the way, I immediately leaned my forehead against the bus window.
I accidentally saw the child saw me welding.
His gaze did not leave me from the bus stopped until it was running, he was still looking at me.
If this world is not fair I choose to be silent. Because all of that must have been neatly arranged by those above.
What can we do if tomorrow is the time for us to be called by God, so we can't do anything.
Because all life has been arranged and everyone in the world has their way of life.
And we also never know, what will happen tomorrow.
As long as you can give your best today and beyond, why not!
Since the Karma of Life is in effect, it's just a matter of waiting for the playdate.
The speed of the bus that I saw was a wide expanse of rice fields planted with rice that had started to turn yellow.
The longer it goes on, the more I want to close my eyes to get away from the real world for a while. Continuing the story in a world of fantasy that is not burdensome.

"Hei, let's get up, we have arrived in Pacitan. Where are we going to get off?"
"Oh, yes yes sir thank you"
Said Zahid.
"Let's go forward because soon we will arrive"
"OK"
My answer is short.
Zahid and I got off the bus, to be precise at the red light stop.
"Which way Hid?'
"On the right, straight. is Mother's house. Yes, that's the one who opened the shop!"
While pointing to the blue shop at the crossroads.
Zahid and I rushed to our destination, Yes, Mother's house.
I saw two children playing in front of the shop, a boy and a girl. I think they are the same age as elementary school.
But they're human.
"Who is that?"
"Oh, that's Tirza's young sister. and young brother and two of them is also my family, hehe, the boy's name is Gerry and the girl's name is Ellen"
Zahid said.
One girl who was a girl immediately ran inside when she saw Zahid from a distance.
I'm trying to listen from afar, is it possible?
And what she wanted to talk, to one of the people in the shop.
Weird.
I can't hear anything.
The child is a layman, in the sense that he is the same as a girl his age. But why can't I read him?
It's like something is blocking me.
He was very happy because Zahid came.
And he was outside the shop, then he ran into the shop too.
And nothing, which previously I could read him, is now empty. Something is blocking my vision.
Is this shop?...
Hmmm, don't think that's weird.
Zahid and I were already in front of the shop.
And our Mother came out of one of the rooms.
"Oh my gosh, my son you came!"
My adopted Mother came immediately hugged and kissed my cheek.
"of course, it's a promise!"
I exclaimed while looking around.
"Let's have dinner first okay?"
Mother took me with Zahid.
I looked at the clock on the wall, it was 5:45 pm.
"Mom, I and Brother Ejh put the bag on the top first!"
Cut Zahid.
"Ahh ok ok, the room upstairs has been prepared!"
I smiled incessantly because I saw the expression of my mother who was very, very happy. Because I saw Zahid and I vacation in Pacitan.
I climbed the stairs slowly because Zahid and I's room was on the 2nd floor.
I stroked the stairs as I climbed, the air was different again.
Upon reaching the top, there was an empty hall that revealed two closed doors.
One room I'm with Zahid for sure, the other I don't know. Maybe Mom's room.
I walked slowly behind Zahid, he opened the bedroom door.
After it was opened, I was shocked when two children ran right through Zahid and me.
He ran towards the outside and climbed on the tree in front of this house.
Hmmm, there's a wait.
When I watched the two of them, one of them looked at me and was silent.
I turned and entered the room when I realized I had just made eye contact with him.
Hopefully tonight there will be nothing.

Wait for me...
