Owl for 5000




Nabila tidied up her room accompanied by three cats. The cat started to get hungry and approached Nabila's feet. Nabila has a lot to work on, let alone Monday. There are swimming schedules, piano lessons, and group tasks to make clippings from Mrs. Tum. Nabila felt tired. It was only 2 o'clock in the afternoon. All day at school and just arrived home, and then tidyed up his room. Unexpectedly, Yudha her brother Nabila came.

"Nabila, where is the Timeo cat? Bell, sick Timeo cat needs to be injected with this stomach pain medicine," Yudha shouted while carrying a small cat. I don't know, where the cat was brought from.

Nabila was upset, she didn't like it when her fifteen beloved cat was touched by her brother, Yudha. Not having time to sort out the arrangement of books in her room, Nabila chose to leave the room. With a sullen face, Nabila walked up to her brother. Ask for the cat he brought correctly. It's not perfunctory to bring a cat. Still, her brother refused to bring another cat instead. So much so that they worked around to get a cat.

"It's been to sis, I'm tired. Brother is thirsty isn't it?" Nabila asked as she placed the cat her brother had brought with her perfunctory. Nabila started to get very upset.

"So thirsty. Nabila knew no, the cat had to be treated immediately. The cat is sick as hell. Pity later if you die how?" Yudha didn't stop teasing her sister. Tells the story of a cat that if it itches later can die.

"No, sis. The cat is already cute, it does not need to be treated. Sister, later tonight go no? I really want to go to the night market. Mom and dad can't drive. Brother can't it?" Nabila pleaded, hopefully escorted to the night market by her brother. Not only that, but Nabila also hopes that her beloved cat will not be touched again by her brother. Kasian, cats feel depressed. Not to mention that the little cat that Nabila likes was given water by her brother. It can get soaked and cold. Poor, her sister Nabila is happy with cats. But more happy to tease Nabila it seems.

Nabila is happy, her brother promises to deliver to the night market. All schoolwork is done quickly. Tutoring is off first, it's time to have fun. Nabila's mother is indeed busy. There's a lot of marketing work and targer to do. So, to just go to the night market at night becomes difficult. That's what makes Nabila ask her brother for help, but the request for help is a hope that is always full of surprises. As was the case tonight, when the appointment time was at 6:20 p.m., it turned out that her brother Nabila hadn't arrived yet. I don't know where to go, there is no news. It doesn't matter what the pocket money will be when going to the night market. Nabila that night was in the mood to ride a lot of rides, it would be a shame if she didn't bring a lot of money. Ice cream and grilled corn snacks Nabila didn't want to forget. So, all the money saved by Nabila was reopened. Time went on, at 6:35 p.m. there was no word on her brother's arrival. Nabila began to get anxious.

"Mom, where are you going? I couldn't, did you forget her promise to take Nabila to the night market. Brother's time forgot?" grumbled Nabila in front of her mother. His mother did not remain silent, she grabbed hp and started calling her brother, Yudha.

"Mom can't do this either. Maybe, your brother has activities or maybe he is on his way here. Nabila just wait, the book hasn't been put in the bag yet. Please arrange it first, tomorrow is afraid of forgetfulness," her mother Nabila replied, showing her some scattered books.

The journey to the night market became daunting. The lights started to turn off, not because of rain or overcast. Just suddenly turned off, a strange voice began to sound. The roar of the motor sprung up. Nabila was happy, her brother had picked up and was ready to go to the night market.

"Just now, brother went to the workshop. The wheels and tires of the big brother's motorcycle are now new. But, on the way back. Brother ran out of gas, so pushed the bike first. Far away, there are about 5 km. Sister is so tired, Nabila has been waiting for a long time, right?" said Yudha on the way to the night market. Yudha's hair was still wet, not having time to dry in a hurry.

"Brother for so long, I'm afraid that brother won't drive away. Tomorrow can be laughed at with my friends. We promised to go into the haunted house because, if tonight it doesn't go to the night market. I could have been mistaken for being afraid of them continuing to laugh at me," Nabila complained. On the way, Nabila saw bright clouds even at night. The lights of the night market began to appear even though the road to the night market was dark. I don't know, the cold air has also begun to appear. However, the atmosphere became even more pleasant when ghostly sounds appeared in the form of birds. He means owls foraging in the rice fields. The journey to the night market does pass through many rice fields.

Owls are getting tired of screaming for food. His voice sounded rats. Nabila also heard. It all felt scary. However, it is still a joy that soon Nabila will be able to meet her friend at the night market. Sure enough, Lutfi had been waiting for Nabila since 6:00 p.m. it was boring and tiring. While waiting, Lutfi bought drinks and grilled corn. All became happy, when Nabila showed up with her brother. They went straight to the haunted house.

"Nabila, how about we just go home. I'm afraid in a place like this. It's spooky, there's a strange smell too. Hasn't the ghost showered yet?" said Yudha to Nabila. Yudha is actually afraid of being invited to a haunted house. But it still came because it delivered Nabila. Yudha saw an owl sitting by the door. Whether true or not, a small grave was made under that door. Nabila and Lutfi didn't pay attention. They enjoyed a nighttime show at the market with artificial ghosts. There was no fear, except for Yudha who immediately wanted to go home.

"Brother why is it afraid. That's a funny ghost as hell. How about brother just take a photo with a ghost. If you don't want to, take a photo with the owl. There are owls similar to eagles. It's so funny, it's good to use it for photos," Nabila advises her brother to still enjoy the night market, at least having a photo.

***

Is back, the feeling of fear is coming up even more. The rate of five thousand for taking pictures with owls is a regret in itself. When he got home, Yudha was terrified. How the owl is tied up. In fact, it is possible that the bird wants to fly away in search of food. The owl's freedom became the price of five thousand for taking pictures. Is there anything scarier than that? When freedom can be bought with money. Not to mention, when freedom is curbed to become the entertainment of many people. Yudha reflects on that, a sinister form that exceeds the freedom of the oppressed, not just in the tied owls. But, on the form of commercialization of animals for entertainment in night markets.
