Born Again To Love You
1943 Years. The Entry of the Japanese Army

   So long as we stayed in the mansion of master Wang Cheng Hai, we decided to return back to our house and leave the mansion of master Wang Cheng Hai.

   At night we gathered to say goodbye to Mr. Wang. Hearing that Mr. Wang who was used to being with us felt sad.

   “Master Wang, we've been here too long. If we stay here too long, it's not inappropriate for us to ride for too long. Seeing Rahayu's condition has improved, we should return to our home”. Start a conversation Gouw Boen San.

“Make me, you guys are here for a very short time. If you could stay here longer. But if that's your wish, what can you do. I can only allow and cannot force” replied Mr. Wang.

“Thank you, Mr. Wang for your help all this time. Thank you for all your concern for my wife and me. Without you, we don't know how to”. Gouw Boen San.

“Master Wang Cheng Hai, thank you for your help and attention all this time!” my word.

“Even if you're home, but you should still play at my house a lot. If you need anything, feel free to ask me for help!” said Mr. Wang Cheng Hai.

   In the morning around 9 o'clock, we say goodbye to Mr. Wang Cheng Hai who was standing on the porch of the house about to

take us away.

   After shaking hands, we walked towards the fence. Suddenly officer Bao Jia came and told us that we should hide. Many Japanese soldiers went around. Many young women were captured and made Jugun Ianfu.

   Just about 5 minutes officer Bao Jia came out giving information, there were 5 Japanese soldiers and their army leaders forced their way into the house of master Wang Cheng Hai. We were sitting and someone was standing on the porch in fear suddenly stood panicked in fear.

   “Is this really Mr Wang Cheng Hai's residence?” said the Japanese army leader who was acting presumptuous.

I saw one of those Japanese soldiers. His face was handsome and he was slightly down.

   With a hint of courage mister Wang Cheng Hai came forward and answered the leader's question.

“True, I am Wang Cheng Hai!”

“You'd better face the head office to meet with our boss!” the Japanese army leader said.

“I see something different here! Very interesting!” continued the army leader said as he stared intently at my eyes and a sinister smile.

“Alright! Tomorrow I ask you and you to face my boss! The Japanese said while pointing at Wang Cheng Hai and Gouw Boen San.

                                                          ***

   The next night we got together again to plan something I didn't know. Secretly behind me, Wang Cheng Hai and Gouw Boen San discussed hiding me.

“Gouw Boen San, I feel that the Japanese leader had bad intentions for Rahayu!” said Mr. Wang

Cheng Hai's.

   Gouw Boen San was silent and thought over the words of master Wang Cheng Hai.

“Lie Kun Lian, all this time I've trusted you too much. Cleanse your clothes. Go then! Take my wife home to her hometown. Take care of my wife from Nipon-Nipon! Protect my wife!” gouw Boen San.

“Gouw Boen San! It is inappropriate for Rahayu to go with me” said Lie Kun Lian.

   Gouw Boen San gave me my phone with a sad face.

“This phone is yours. This is something you bring from the future. Your place shouldn't be

here, but in the future. You go home. Hide you in your mother's father's house. I promise I'll pick you up soon. Wait for me?!” gouw Boen San said as he wiped his tears as if he knew it was the last time with me.

                                                   ***

   The next morning around 4am, Lie Kun Lian and I left the residence of Mr. Wang Cheng Hai. That was the last time I saw Gouw Boen San.

   I walked over to the fence of the house with Lie Kun Lian. I looked back, my husband, Gouw Boen San was waving at me with a face full of smiles.

   I ran into the house and approached Gouw Boen San. I leaned my left cheek against her chest and hugged her very tightly while crying. I know he pretended to be happy at the time, but

in her little heart she was crying. He let go of my embrace and gently held my cheek while saying, “Go safely. If Indonesia is finished colonized by Japan, come back here. I'll pick you up there!”

   Lie Kun Lian went inside and held both of my shoulders gently and pulled me slowly back and invited me to leave Gouw Boen San.

                                                          ***

   At about half-hour 6am, as we were about to board the train, we saw some Japanese soldiers on patrol. Lie Kun Lian took me away from hiding from the Japanese soldiers.

   After the soldiers left, holding my wrist, Lie Kun Lian quickly led me into the train. And thank goodness we got on the train safely and safely.

   We sat in the middle seat. I sat next to the window. And Lie Kun Lian sat down next to me. I was silent looking at the window while thinking of Gouw Boen San. Suddenly I remembered about the cell phone given by Gouw Boen San.

   I took it from my bag and saw the strange thing. I flipped. I feel like I've seen this thing. There is 1 circle behind the phone. I just pressed that button. And sure enough, the phone screen opens and turns on.

   I pressed the phone screen and looked around. An awkwardness began to be felt as I looked at the wallpaper

that cellphone. There's a picture where I'm with Gouw Boen San and 2 kids. The more curious I was, the more I opened every part of the phone.

   How surprised I was when I opened the photo gallery. I saw a lot of pictures of me with Gouw Boen San and pictures of the kids. But the background of the place is different from today.

“A Lian, who is this?” manya curious.

“It was you with Charles” replied Lie Kun Lian.

“Charles? You are why this story is strange. I don't even know Charles, how can I be with him” I replied a little laugh at Lie Kun Lian's answer which I thought was a joke.

“Rahayu, listen to me! You are Rose! Women of the future. I don't know how you got to this moment. But you've been here a year. I also don't know why you can't remember who you really are” explained Lie Kun Lian.

“A Lian, stop! If you don't know how I came to this time, how do you know that I'm from the future. That doesn't make sense!” My objection.

“You always tell me what the future is like. About mobile phones, televisions, air conditioning machines and some advanced technology in the future. At first I didn't believe it either. But I don't know what makes me believe your every word. When I declare love for you, you reject me and ask me to be your best friend in this life and the life to come. Until one day it rained heavily. Lightning blaring. Suddenly the lights went off and in our midst came a man who looked like Gouw Boen San. And the lights are on. I saw there were 2 Gouw Boen San. But the newly arrived Mr. Gouw Boen San was wearing a different shirt to us. He hugged you tight and took you home. He said the kids were waiting for you. I can see that you are very loving in the future. When Charles was about to take you home. Mr. Gouw is angry and separates you. And I forbid Mr. Gouw to disturb you. In the end, lightning struck tight around the house and Charles disappeared and you fainted”.

   I was speechless listening to Lie Kun Lian's story. And look back at the contents of the gallery on mobile. I saw pictures of Zefanya and Zeline. I saw the photo together with Charles look so friendly.

   After getting tired of looking at my phone, I kept my phone and looked at the window.
