"Let's go to the river!"

"Okay let's go!"

*

My name is Yuji, I'm 4 years old now, I'm like most normal kids, I live in a village at the foot of a mountain in one of the provinces of Java, namely Banyumas. My days passed by playing with my friends because indeed my age is not old enough to go to school.

On that day, passed as usual and we went home to each of them after a tiring day playing. But something unexpected happens when I returned home.

"Mom, I'm home!"

"..."

"Eh, why isn't it so quiet? Usually, every time I go home, Mom is always waiting for me .."

"Mom, where are you?" I went into the house and looked for my Mom.

"It's strange, Mom goes at this time, I muttered"

Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening from the side of my house. The house where we live usually has many doors and is not fenced, some of which are made of hardwood with typical Javanese style and not a futuristic building, because it is indeed the location of our residence in the countryside at the foot of the mountain.

*Bam... !!* the sound of slamming the door

"Yuji! You're home ?!"

"Yes Mom, eh !? Mom Why are you crying ??"

"Hik ... hiks ... I'm so worried, son ..." While crying, Mom hugged me

"Why Mom?" For some reason, I was crying too.

"Come on son! We're getting ready .."

"Eh ?! Where are we going, Mom?"

"Just pack your clothes and go straight to the village yard. Your father and all the villagers have gathered there."

My Mom is an ordinary housewife, her name is Dewi, and is 28 years old. While my father is a farmer who is quite successful because he has several paddy fields, my father's name is Tejo and is 30 years old.

[Mom POV]

Why is this happening so fast, is this world going to end this quickly, and is doomsday coming soon. What will happen to my son Yuji, he's even young and doesn't know anything yet. O Lord, help us from all disasters.

"I must immediately bring Yuji to a safe place! Whatever the method I must keep trying for my child!"

After finishing packing, then I immediately helped my son to pack and carry him away to gather with my husband and the entire village.

"Yuji, are you done?"

"Wait Mom, I want to bring my favorite robot toy, hehe ..." With his innocent smile, he smiled at his Mom to make her Mom shed tears again.

"Yuji, son ... !!" Why does everything have to happen, just why? I hugged my child again, maybe ... this could be the last time. I must not waste time, I must leave immediately, I thought!

Then we left the house with enough clothes, and some of the items needed, as well as my child's toys.
