Chapter 3: Learning New Skill
I came out of the room to see my father and mother already sitting in front of the table enjoying the breakfast, my mother looked at me with concern while my father just glanced at me before he continued to enjoy his breakfast.
I sat opposite my father and my mother, the breakfast food was chicken porridge and milk. 'It's been five days since I do not eat' Randy thought.
Then Randy gobbled his breakfast greedily because he did not eat for five days.
Seeing Randy eat his breakfast like this, Almira finally relieved and smiled, "eat slowly, do not choke" Almira said with gentle and caring tone.
Randy finished his breakfast with 3 bowls of porridge and 2 glasses of milk before he was satisfied.
"Dad mom, I will continue to hunt today!" Randy said suddenly to his parents with a serious tone
Hearing the statement from her son, Almira shocked and panicked, five days ago her son had just survived the pursuit of wolf which almost killed her son and today her son just woke up from his grief, of course, Almira panicked after hearing a statement from her son, she did not want his son to go hunting again for fear of something dangerous happen to her child.
When Almira wants to say something so that his son does not have to go hunting anymore, Wisen suddenly holds her hand.
Almira looks at Wisen with a puzzled look and sees Wisen shaking his head. Of course, Wisen knew what Almira wanted to say.
Then Wisen looked at Randy and nodded his head, "Okay, but not today, today you have to recover your body first and tomorrow you can continue your hunt"
Hearing the words of Wisen, Almira became anxious and wanted to rebuke her husband, but Almira just saw Wisen shake his head indicating she did not have to say anything.
Got approval from his father, Randy was delighted. He thought after incident six days ago his parents would have forbade him to go hunting, so Randy was quite happy to get approval from his father.
Seeing his anxious mother's face, Randy knew that his mother was worried when he went hunting, "It's okay mom, I will be careful when hunting, I will not be careless again" Randy reassured his mother.
Almira helpless just nodded her head.
"Okay, I will go out first to stretch my body because it's a bit stiff after 6 days of not doing any activity," Randy said after seeing his mother nodding her head.
Seeing her son want to go out Almira said, "hey, bring this breakfast as well for Michael mother and sister"
Randy nodded his head and then he brought the breakfast that his mother had prepared.
Randy went out of his house and walked straight to Michael's house to deliver the breakfast his mother had prepared.
When he got to Michael's house, Randy did not immediately knock the door. He paused, then the grief over Michael death that he had buried in his heart out again.
Michael family only consists of three people before Michael died, his father died of cancer when Michael was 15 years old, Although his father died but their family did not live hard because his father left enough money for their family can live comfortably, But after the Battle of Ascension begins Michael became the backbone of his family, between me, Michael, and Widi, it was Michael who worked the hardest. Unlike me and Widi, we still have a father who can still support our family.
Then tears fell from Randy's eyes, he immediately wiped his tears and knocked on the door.
Moments later the door was open, the one who opened the door was a woman, about 45 years old, this woman was Michael's mother, Hellen.
"Good morning Auntie Hellen, this is food from my mother for aunt" Randy greeted and gave the food he brought to Michael's mother.
Seeing Randy, Hellen surprised then smiled, "oh, thank you, Randy, and also give my thanks to your mother for the food"
"Alright auntie Hellen, I will convey your thanks to my mother" and then Randy turned around and wanted to leave but suddenly Hellen called him, "Randy!"
Randy turned toward auntie Hellen.
"Randy you do not blame yourself for Michael's death, me and Mika do not blame you, this is the choice chosen by Michael," Hellen said to Randy. Hellen knows that after the incident at that time Randy kept locked himself in the room because he felt guilty about Michael's death.
So when Hellen saw Randy deliver the food, Hellen felt that she need to say this, even though she keeps blamed Randy for Michael death, Michael will not be able to live again and saving Randy is also the choice of Michael.
Hearing this Randy's eyes become red and tears began to gather in the eyes of Randy, seeing this Hellen hastily said, "okay, you can go" then Hellen immediately reentered her house and closed the door leaving Randy by himself.
Then Randy wiped his tears and left. He plans to stop by Widi's house, but after arriving in front of Widi's house, Randy hesitates. Finally, he decided not to stop by Widi's house and went around the Residential Area.

At Randy's house
When Randy came out of the house, Almira who had been gentle and full of concerns turned into a lion and looked at Wisen, "What do you mean by allowing Randy to go hunting? don't you know how dangerous it is? six days ago he almost died, What if something happens to Randy?" Almira immediately angry at Wisen.
Hearing questions after question from his wife, Wisen helpless just shook his head.
Seeing her husband shake his head Almira's anger grew bigger, "why are you shaking your head? If you do not give a reasonable reason! hmp, you will sleep outside for a year" Almira said ruthlessly.
"Sigh, do you think Randy's really not blaming himself anymore?" Wisen answers Almira with questions.
Hearing questions from her husband Almira became confused, "Randy still blames himself? Why?"
"Do you think with what I said yesterday could make him not blame himself anymore? Of course not, for now, he feels responsible to Michael and Widi's family after the death of Michael and Widi. Especially for Michael's family, so he will hunt to replace Michael so that Michael's family can survive. What I told him yesterday was that he would not confine himself anymore" Wisen explain to Almira.
"After all, if he does not go hunting what he's going to do? Randy cannot keep relying on us forever, he should be able to hunt himself, what if something happens to me while hunting?" Wisen continue "so let him hunt, we're old and Randy's has grown up, we can not spoil him anymore"
"but ... but .... but ...." Almira cannot say anything to refute Wisen's explanation, but Almira does not want Randy to encounter danger anymore.
"Well, this is decided, I'll go hunting now" and then Wisen stood up and kissed Almira's forehead before going out.
Looking at the back of Wisen's body, Almira sighed and cleared the table.
After traveling around the Residential Area for 3 hours, Randy returned home. When he entered Randy's house only see his mother, he knew his father had gone hunting.
"You come back," Almira said when he saw his son come in.
"Hmm" Randy nodded his head, then he went straight into his room.

Then a girl appeared in Randy's eyes with a height of about 15-20 centimeters and said to Randy, "Hello Master"
This girl is cute but when she speaks she has no expression, neither cold nor warm.
