Part 5 : Covenant

"Wake up, Mom. Mother why?" I shook mom's body. However, she was silent with has eyes closed.

I rushed to Yu Marsiyah's house for help. We weren't close relatives, but Yu Marsiyah's house was next to us. It only blocked the empty land for about fifty steps. It was still dark so I couldn't run for fear of stepping on the pebbles in the yard.

Arriving home with the wood-patterned floor I knocked on the door. I hope Yu Marsiyah or her husband is awake so I don't have to wait long.

Tok tok tok!

"Yu Marsiyah, please, Yu. It's Cantil. Mother fainted, Yu. Please, Yu," I said so that someone would open the door immediately.

Tok tok tok!

Shortly there after the door opened. It turned out to be her husband Yu Marsiyah.

"What's wrong, Til?"

"Mother fainted, sir. Please help lift up."

"Why faint?"

"She was coughing, Sir. You know it collapsed."
