2 Weeks later
Time is merciless, indeed,
fate does not care who it will fall, and the feeling is always
coming at the wrong time. That's what I think, but of course I can't
blame it all because it's life.
In this world there are still many people
good and sane, but why the leader is a skinned demon
the man who calls himself king, a ruthless novel maniac.
Today me and Fasa invited Dai to
District 17, I'm very concerned about the situation there. District 17 has just
finished fought by Yaza Vumi, the situation here is crumbling. I see
children are starving and injured. Thank goodness we came and gave
help to them.
Dai with DieNeSs volunteers indeed
always come to a former war place to provide assistance, and according to Dai there
about 18 areas that have not been subject to Yaza Vumi, sooner or later
those areas must be fought.
“Princess Monochrome!”
I heard a small, subtle voice,
when I looked at the sound, a little girl with her doll
broken standing looking up at me.
“What's the little girl?” Ask me while
squatting aligned my height with her.
“Thank you, you guys are so good. Blessings
you guys my brother can wake up!” Excited the little girl.
“Your sister?”
“Come!”
The little girl brought me along
the house from the board was half destroyed, when I entered the house it was my heart
like being cut down by a machete. I saw a boy about 12 years old lying weak
on the floor covered with seedy cloth with a thin body dry and
pitifully.
“My son.. he was dying and nearly dying because of.
hunger!” Said a middle-aged woman sitting near the boy
layin.
The woman told me that since 6
last month was a war, they were bombed and hit with gunfire because
refused to join Yaza Vumi. Let alone to eat, they don't even
got a chance to breathe.
This place used to be part of
a country, but war is like a fire that creeps from the north to the south and
turn this lush green field into a land of death.
“Vier, you better see this!”
Suddenly Fasa rebuked me and asked me
approaching someone. Dai sat down while crying, why was he crying so badly
that it? I approached her, she hid her face wet with water
his own eyes are from me.
“Dai, why are you crying so?”
“I'm not crying!” Strictly with voice
which turned hoarse.
“Hm, it's okay if you cry, nothing
the law prohibits a man from crying, right?!”
“I feel very guilty... You see that
there it is.. It's a human body!”
Dai pointed at the body bags
which is lined up parallel. It is sad that they are civilian victims
war and there are many.
“But it's not your fault Dai!” I'm trying
calmed him.
“Not? This is what Yaza Vumi did.
he's my father... You think what it's like to stand on two ironies?” Dai
rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands roughly.
“Ya..
fixing it. To reduce your father's sins. That way it's definitely better.”
I was sitting next to Dai, but he threw his face away from me.
“Oh yes, they thank you, they
hope you soon become king in your father's place.” My word. Dai is still
quiet and avoiding my sight.
“My father doesn't know what I'm doing
including giving this kind of help, I begged my two sisters
to convince dad. And I hope the people here keep it a secret too
this.” He said in the end.
“Just relax, the DieNeS volunteers have
say that and it looks like the people here are willing to keep you a secret.”
Hearing me say it Dai turned to me and smiled a little.
“Your smile is less wide!!” I pinched
her cheeks made her squeal but after that she laughed cheerfully. We catapulted
some light jokes and laugh together.
I managed to cheer him up, he came back
he was excited and his face was filled with joy. Even so, I actually
just wanted to be friends with her because I felt attached to others.
“VIER!!” Call her out loud when
I was about to step away at the volunteer who was handing out food and
other need. I looked at Dai who was standing in the background by
suns.
“Is....we are friends?” His question.
“Yes! Forever is a friend!” Answer me while
smile and turn and leave. I don't see his expression after
that, but I think he's still standing in the same place.
Me, Fasa and Dai pamit earlier than
another DieNeSs volunteer for having to return to the main district immediately.
Actually we like it there, helping others makes the heart become
quieter.
The three of us used jet planes
personal Si-prince to return. The three of us are getting on the road
familiarize yourself with telling each other a lot about the place
we just visited it. One strange thing, Dai forbade us to meet face to face
with the pilot of the plane that brought us.
Travel time 13 hours 30 minutes
quite tiring, the distance of district 17 is indeed quite far from the main district,
thank goodness the opera rehearsal took a week off because reportedly there was preparation for
celebration of unity day.
Dai took me and also Fasa to
Palace, if I don't know why, but it's an opportunity. First I want to
know why Noir who is in the palace environment is ordinary, second I want to
know if you can find a time portal that will return me to 2019. Well, yeah,
it might be, right?!
“So, why did you bring us here?”
I asked as we were walking together in the corridor of the palace.
“Sore this is a garden party, usually attended
palace family and may bring friends. Actually I never followed
all this time, but since I now have friends.. so I want to come.”.
“You never had friends?” Much
curious.
“Have, anyway.
not as his friend.”
I nodded to hear
her story. Until we reached the place in question, what a contrast of the palace
this is magnificent with the former war area that we visited before, especially
we will meet the warlords soon.
“Oh yes, my two sisters don't know that
I'm a rebel, he just knows that I like to help victims
war, so don't say anything about it huh!” Whisper Dai on us
before entering.
And this is the face I hate to have looked
it was so clear when we entered the indoor garden, the Yaza Vumi
sitting comfortably while sipping a cup of tea with her two daughters.
The roof of this park is made of glass
which makes it easy for sunlight to break through, is very nice and luxurious
decorated with diverse flower plants.
“Hooo..
ever come to a garden party even if forced!” Yaza Vumi said
put the tea cup on the butterfly-shaped table.
“Wah, sis. Now you're bringing two people
girl to the palace, which one is your boyfriend? Or both!” Sindir one of Dai's younger brothers
the one with blonde hair, the other one just smiled obliquely.
“Yes, I just want to come while
introducing two of my good friends!” Answer Dai. He moved the chair and
let us both sit in front of Yaza Vumi and her two daughters.
“Oh yes, my friends will also come and
they are nobles, so please keep the attitude yes!” Said the blonde again.
“Dad, introduce. This is Phase, he's from district 10
and he lives with Vier. I'm sure you already know Vier, he's better known
with Princess Monochrome.” Dai seemed to ignore his sister's innuendo and
introduced us to his father. We gave our best smile, though,
although in my heart I want to tear the face****** which claims to be this king.
“And meet, these are my two sisters, who are blond
this is Eliesa and the other is Efaeni.” Dai introduced his two sisters
on our. I think Dai has a purpose why he introduced us to
his family.
“Well, it's our friends, they're coming!”
Efaeni. We turned our heads in unison and saw a few teenagers dressed in fancy clothes
entering this park.
Eliesa and Efaeni rush to greet
his friends and they were gathered in a different place to us.
“Well, dad.. now try asking.
father's question to me yesterday again and let two of my beautiful friends
answer it!” Suddenly the atmosphere between Yaza Vumi and Dai turned gloomy. I
and Fasa didn't understand what Dai meant, but I expected it, Dai did
a certain purpose brought us here.
“So you deliberately came to the garden party just
to laugh at your father, huh?!” The Yaza Vumi was calm.
“Not at all! I couldn't get it yesterday
answered my father's question, so I thought these two friends would be able to
answer it.” Dai poured Tea for me and Phase.
“Alright, it's not a problem!” Now the Yaza
Vumi who gave honey to our tea. “Simple question, just,
missus. The story is about two young rabbits who want to escape
forest fires, then they met two roads that branched. That path
the first is the bright road, the second is the bright road
it was dark and there was a river they had to cross if they wanted to go there.
Which do you two think two rabbits should be chosen?”
That is the question posed by
Vumi Yaza. I realize this is not an ordinary question, there must be an intent
covert within. But yeah whatever, it's Dai's business with his father,
anyway I guess I can answer that question.
“The answer, the second way!” My answer is full of certainty.
Dai and the Yaza Vumi were very surprised by my reply earlier, but then
Yaza Vumi tried to calm down while Dai looked at me in disbelief.
“Hm, all right, Ms. Vier's. Why do you think child
the rabbit must choose the second path?” Asked Yaza Vumi calmly
like earlier.
“Because it could have been on that first road
there was a fire, too, wasn't their forest burning? So I think the road
first it was bright because the fire was burning there. The second road is
dark roads, it's only natural because they're in the woods. And if the children
the rabbit chose it, they will be safe.” I clearly.
“Really too! In front of that road anyway
there is a stream that does not allow fire to pass through, the rabbit boy
it will be safe even though the journey taken will not be easy.” Splice
Phases.
Sang Yaza Vumi smiled
clapping with slow tempo.
“Bravo! Exact and very good answer!”
Exclaims. “Nah, Dai... as your request, starting this afternoon, your sisters will be.
so it's your responsibility. Make sure you don't just take care of their physiques, take care of them
their feelings are also.” Continue while standing up and then moving from
the table was leaving the park.
“Why don't you ask why I asked
that thing, and even asked the riddle earlier?” Dai came up from his desk
approaching back to the Vumi yaza.
Sang Yaza Vumi turned around and
face to face with Dai, he gently stroked her son's higher cheeks
from her, with a loving look and also a disappointment that I did not understand,
Yaza Vumi said;
“You're a real adult, son. Your nature exactly
your mother, always takes someone else first. Which I regret only.
justice from a different point of view.” Said. Then Yaza Vumi
leave us at that park. Dai
bowed still in the same place, his hands clenched very tightly.
“I don't understand what my father meant, I don't know
why do it feel like those words are weird!” Mumbles Dai.
“Already Dai, we do not understand more what
what this has to do with us, can you explain?!” My love.
“What can I explain when I
also do not understand, so I think you two who have broad insight
it can understand it.” Dai looked towards us.
“Vier, Phase.. somehow I feel doubtful.
with my next step... therefore can you two promise?”
Further.
“Appoint for what?” Ask us in unison.
“To give me hope when I started
despair on my life!” The answer.
