The latest world mystical story The Myth of the Owls
For those who live in the countryside, must be familiar with owls, birds are used as a symbol of the world of education. When the writer was small, almost every night, birds singing sharp eyed, brownish, there is also the color of the fur is gray, so familiar in the ear of the author.
Birds of rat predators, babal (jackfruit seeds) as well as some types of small animals had been also a writer keep. Initially, in the middle of the night, after watching traditional arts ludruk, the author found a python bird (puppies) almost trampled. Birds that seem to be newly parroted then the author picked up.
Not knowing what the bird's favorite food is, the writer puts this little bird into a cage whose doorway is thrown away deliberately. The hope is if her mother wants to give her child food, it can be done easily.
What the author did earlier, got a response from the owl mother. Every night the mother came to feed her piyiknya. It lasts until piyik big enough and ready terbanng. Feeling the time had come, the rope around the leg of the piyik was released. Looks like, piyik and mother feel happy. As if thanking his unbounded, these two birds long looked at the author with joyful eyes.
Two days after the incident, the authors obtained news and homeroom that one of the three students of SD Sanggrahan whose best test score is the author. Armed with that, the author can proceed to the famous junior high school. What a joy this heart, because God has granted the request of one of his weak servants. Does this have anything to do with the author's effort to help the owl yesterday? Only Allah is the Knower.
Another incident, just before dawn, some time ago, the writer went upstairs and a building that the writer built with difficulty.
Not until the evening prayer, above the head writer feels there are flying objects rotating to and fro. The concentration point of the writer on the prayer becomes instantaneous. The author looks at the building ceiling. On a clothesline strung on it, to stretch out the unspoiled clothes as it is dried in the afternoon, perched an owl.
The look of his strange eyes like this real ghost, make writers goosebumps. The bird is then expelled using a circular turban in the head. Five, ten times the author tries the halau, the bird just keeps quiet. Even if he wanted to react, he just flew there, flew here, perched and latted the window to the original clothesline. He was unwilling to get out, but the door, the window had been opened wide. If you want, freely the bird must be able to penetrate pekatnya night.
Feeling able to take advantage of the bird, the author took the camera. Long time did not see the owl closely. Incidentally, it is like the saying: the shriveled love blouse arrives.
Repeatedly the bird writers take pictures, in all positions. The result is not disappointing. After putting the camera in the room located on the bottom floor, then the author back up, the owl is no longer in place. The author tries to search into every corner of the room, the bird's nose was not found.
Is this bird the owl incarnation that the author helped a few years ago, then as his gratitude then He showed himself in front of me? I have no idea...
There are also other stories. A few months before the writers 'parents' parents were summoned to the Creator, there was a rather peculiar phenomenon associated with owls. Every evening, two owls were flying toward the bamboo grove just south of the road, not far from the author's parents' home. Such a situation lasts less than a week.
