LIFE - Mind Of A Mankind - Chapter Twenty-Two

SILLY BUT TRUE

"I'm going for business!"

Heru replied to them, whenever they asked him where he was going? ( 1994, Bali)

Margarita came to meet me one day and she asked me again to follow her back to her world. She really wanted to take me to her. She said that she would find someone who could take me to her world because she did not possess that knowledge and she had assured me that she would be there to invite me. That was what she had mentioned to me.
I was feeling miserable with my life as a fugitive and I was actually missing my family in Singapore. Earlier that day I had a misunderstanding with Yani and I felt lonely but not her. She had her brother and aunty living together with us.
I had agreed to Margarita's suggestion and then I lie down on the bed. Margarita went out of the room and a few seconds later came back into the room again. I was waiting for Margarita to lie next to me and held my hand. It was not Margarita's personality but it was a different entity.
This entity had a low hunchback. She walked to my side of the bed and in a low old woman voice she said, "Why must you follow her? Your life now is good here. It's not good for you to follow her." Then she collapsed over me. I tried to wake her up but that entity had already left Yani's body and Yani was unconscious. I carried Yani and put her down to lie next to me. She was breathing normally. Then I took a nap.
I had no idea how long my nap was but I was awakened by Yani who was crying for me not to leave her. I felt very weak and sleepy. I had difficulty waking-up. When I opened up my eyes, I saw that she was crying and apologising to me pertinent to her stubborness and anger towards me that we had earlier on. She really cried and it was not an act. I felt weak and faintly I asked her what was the matter. She thought I had suddenly fell ill and I was dying. Well, I felt warmed and I had a slight headache and maybe a slight temperature too. I told her not to worry about my health and I was alright. She mentioned that if possible she did not want to see me fell ill again because she would be confused and she would not know what to do. She told me that she was trying to wake me up for quite sometimes but I did not open up my eyes. She was really worried for me. While I was napping, I did not recall any dream that I had. Maybe I was really dying huh!
There were no possession for a few days then one day Margarita met me and said this, "Mas Robi, if you follow me to my world, it's as though I've murdered you. Please forgive me." Then she left Yani's body. She never invited me to follow her anymore from that day onward and we never talked about it anymore too.

Mas Anton came to meet me one day and informed me that his sister Nonik and Jean were going home to Jogyakarta to get 'married'. Their parents were willing to accept Jean as their 'son-in-law'. Mas Anton said that he would still remain in Bali. That was the last news I heard from him about Nonik and Jean. I never met Nonik anymore after that news.

I remembered telling Heru that I was angry with Yani. He just listened to me. Then while Yani was asleep, suddenly Yani shouted "Ouch! Ouch!" Two times she shouted but she remained asleep. The first time when she shouted that, her face turned to the left and the second time her face turned to the right. It looked as if she was punched and she seemed to feel the pain too. Heru came on and told me that he had punched Yani for being stubborn and angry. I quickly examined Yani's face but there were no bruises. I felt relieved and softly I scolded Heru never again to do that on Yani. He just smiled at me with the tip of his tongue sticking out and I could sense that he felt guilty for doing that left right combination. In my heart, I was laughing too when I saw his expression. I wondered where Heru had learned that violent action. Maybe too much watching violent movies I guessed.
