The Magic Of The Witch
Chapter 4: Zowi the owl
"Good morning", I said as I held the blue jacket given by the lady.
Salamkupun answered by him who was sitting in the guest room while watching his favorite ftv.
"By the morning, have you eaten?" Ask dian ma'am.
"Mother already has food there, baby sir can also eat" he said while staring at the baby sir.
Because it feels bad to refuse, I also try to go to eat together with a jacket in my hand which of course will provoke big questions in the mind of the mother dian.
"Zia, what's your hand?" Ask her while walking towards me.
"It's okay ma'am" I replied, moving my left hand back.
"Let's see" she said, thrusting her hand to ask me to show the hand I had covered with the blue jacket.
"It's okay ma'am," I replied gently.
Worried about anything happening to me, she insisted on seeing what was happening behind the blue jacket.I don't understand why she wanted to know what I was hiding.
"It's okay ma'am" I said back in a slightly loud tone. But he insisted, The stronger I resisted, the harder it was to force me to show the blue jacket-covered hand.
*Bruaaakkkhhh__ unknowingly I pushed him. I did not expect the slow encouragement I did to keep dian's mother could not see the spell was even a disaster in the family of the doctor brama.
"Mother..." Shouted bayu sir, he,
"you why push dian's mom that hard? How'd you do it?" He asked with an angry face and also a little afraid of me.
The cracked walls of the house were soaked in red water seen coming out of the head of the mother dian so that I could only be stunned. To be honest, I did not intentionally do that, I never intended to harm my mother, even then I wished that this was just one of my hallucinations.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid" I said, hitting my hands on my head.
"Regardless, this is just your hallucination" I said with a pale face in fear that it would happen.
The pulse of the pulse was no longer heard, the face and hands of the pale baby boy dropped the hand of the mother dian. the atmosphere became quiet and at the same time suddenly heard the sound of a car coming as if to tell the presence of doctor brama.
"For zia, where's mom?" Ask me who is standing glued staring at the mother dian.
with a smile on his lips, he slowly looked at my gaze which was then pointed right at a cracked wall where his mother lay weakly.His face was flushed with veins formed on the white skin. the look of his eyes seemed to change which was immediately fed by tears, his mouth gaping big with hands attached to both of his lips.
The pounding of the legs was heard running towards the mother dian.it crossed my mind that today my morning was chaotic because of a spell that deliberately appeared to cause chaos in my life, my fate was really bad, really bad, if only my real parents were still around, I might not be like this. various forms of regret and complaining one by one began to fill my brain.However, one thing still crossed my mind, all because of that spell.
Without tuning the dian and brama, I ran to the kitchen to retrieve an object that could remove the hand that said mantra.
"Where's that?" I asked with a sad face,
"i've lost the second time anyone cares about me and you too. What will happen to Dinda after she finds out all this?" I asked over and over again with tears that kept dripping.
"How evil am I,! This is the happiness of the dinda, why did I snatch it?" I said in a stammering voice.
"Or is this just a hallucination?" I asked again with a feeling of sadness and a tight throat.
"hahahah, yes, this is just my hallucination, dian's mother is currently with brama sir, there is no one in this house except me. hahahaha he, here I am alone" I said with tears and a feeling of being convinced that this was just my hallucination, even though it looked very real.
Amidst the confusion of "Tak" a jolt of fingers rang out.A familiar old man in my eyes appeared again and stood right beside me with a gentle smile.
"You've seen your first skill, Zia!" Say it with a smile.
the crying stopped and my mind seemed to not want to believe who was standing in front of me. today's events still make me confused, my head dizzy because it can not digest well one by one. no other response, the grandfather pulled me to the place where mother dian and mr. Brama who looked silent like a statue. he told me to hold the head of the mother dian. I was puzzled, but my hand itself moved towards him.The blue light shot out again from my left hand. My stature changed, my silver eyes and right hand gave off the same light that slowly removed the red water and scar on my mother's head.
"Aahhh, "I said with a happy smile.
"Try you to snap your fingers while thinking of ways to make brama, dian and baby forget everything that has happened" he said with a smile.
The second time I felt confusion, but as before, I followed the old man's instructions while thinking of moving dian and brama's mother in the seat, as well as the baby at the front post of the house and hope they forget all the events of the day.
"No" everything went exactly as I wanted, I smiled happily even though question after question always came up one by one and even I thought this was just my hallucination, but regardless of what happened, it was, I turned towards the old man to thank him. However, the "No" finger-banging was heard again and for the umpteenth time I lost consciousness and woke up in my bed.
"Zia did not come to pick her up" said Dinda who entered the room with her elementary school uniform.
"Ayoo lunch first" shouted one woman, who turned out to be a dian's mother.
"Everything is fine" I said calmly.
"This dream feels very real" I said again,
"It seems like I really have to leave this place, so that you can live your life well without thinking of a disease like me".
At 11pm: 53pm.
"It's raining" I said as I walked up to the window to close it. A grandfather whose face was familiar was smiling towards me and walking under the rain while passing through the house of Mr. Brama. I returned his smile with a very calm feeling.
"Zia," cried bu dian calling for lunch.
My window closed and I dropped the curtain and walked to Dr. Brama's dining room.
"This is the last ordeal before you come to your place" said the old man as he walked and slowly disappeared.
Not feeling the night had arrived, I sat quietly in front of the window of the room to feel the gusts of wind and starlight that at that time seemed to accompany my silence.
January 20th is the day of my birth and tonight is the same night I was born.The various oddities that have happened in my life lately, even I did not know that I had high hallucinations, so everything seemed very real, although there were some events that seemed to disappear without cause but left a trace of feeling as if I had experienced.
"How am I going to survive alone at such a young age?" I ask repeatedly.
Empty gaze, lonely and sad feeling, my eyes are still focused staring out the window. Suddenly an owl flew towards the window of the room and messed up all my shadows and comfort, I spontaneously ran away from my seat. The longer I look at her the more I want to get closer to her,
"no stranger, the bird is no stranger" I said in my heart.
I slowly approached the window and tried to open it, he did not go, the sign he was not afraid of me, he also did not seem to be bothering me at this time.
"you stay here well, just keep me company".
The wind began to provide comfort to me, the dim color of the sleeping lights were very supportive on a beautiful night that turned out to make me fall asleep before finally mother dian came to wake me up, he said,
"Why are you sleeping in this chair?" He asked while rubbing my shoulder,
"It is morning apparently", I said in my heart,
"Ahh. I have to leave the dinda today" I said again while waking up the body and walking to clean up the remaining items.
"Where is mom?"
"he's still sleeping, it's a day off, so I let him rest" replied the mother.
"You really want to go?" The question I only answered by nodding my head without saying a word.
"Well, you get ready, after you're done waiting for you in the kitchen well, let you have breakfast before you go".
"Mom" I answered briefly and stood up to prepare before leaving.
"Hey, why are you still there?" I asked for astonishment while walking closer to the window of the room that was still open.
The owl didn't leave, he was still faithfully waiting for me behind the window. Since it was morning, I was no longer afraid to touch it. That extremely soft white fur made me feel comfortable hugging her, she said,
"Who do you have?" I asked with a feeling of pleasure.
"I'll name Zowi if you don't have a master, and you can come with me wherever I go" I said, putting him back in the window.
The clock shows at 08:25.
I prepared myself to leave the house to find a place I could stay alone and not want to involve anyone with my own bad hallucinations.
"Zia. zia.." shouted dinda with a sad face while running towards me who was having breakfast with brama.
"Zia wants to leave dinda" he said, crying. When I felt sick, my throat felt depressed, I walked closer to my mother and stopped eating.
"It's okay, zia just went away for a while" I told dinda so she wouldn't feel so sad.
"True, zia just want to come out for a while, will definitely come here again to meet dinda" said mr. brama while convincing dinda to let me go.
Various kinds of words that we spent to convince dinda, until finally he accepted and let me go with a agreement that I would often visit him. because he did not want to be disappointed, because he did not want to be disappointed, I also agreed and promised him according to what he wanted even though I might be difficult to meet him.
All my preparations are complete, my, mr. Brama has given me a box of medicine that I can use if my hallucinations recur and my mother dian comes to me while giving me an envelope that is nothing but pocket money to use before I get it a place I deserve to live.
"thank you" The last word I could say to the new family.
My feet walked out of the door of Mr. Brama's house, my gaze directed to the front window of the room that I had previously slept in.
"Zoowiii" I shouted. The owl immediately flew up and stood on my shoulder.
"Well, now you're mine".
I know, brama and mother dian and dinda must have questioned how I could have an owl I named the zowi, but they didn't question it because they didn't want to hinder my journey.
The journey was very long, before the zowi directed my way and met one uninhabited hut, that hut was where I lived for a year and my life went like a human being. The hallucination never appeared again, probably because the medicine that Mr. Brama had given me was never late to drink, and when it ran out, I would buy it at the nearest pharmacy.
zowi was my only friend at the time before I finally met an old man for the umpteenth time who would change my life and realize that I was no ordinary person.
