CHAPTER 2

Twenty years later after the events of the mysterious baby, in a town near the beach...

A cute girl with curls is attending her mother's funeral. The girl, Nania, looked so sad, her tears were flowing for how much, because of her sadness. Nania didn't know, but she felt like everything was going so slowly and completely like being trapped in a long and painful dream. Starting from the footsteps of – people who carry the coffin of his mother's corpse, the funeral procession of his mother until one by one relatives and friends – his friend left the burial ground. Hugged her newly installed tombstone board was tightly – tightly. He was alone there, but Nania seemed unable to move her legs together to leave the edge of her mother's tomb.

“Mama...Mamma..Why ma? Why did you leave Nania so soon? Why?” nania groaned in her tears. “Nania must be lonely without mom, no one to accompany Nania anymore, no one to listen to Nania's curses anymore...My dad was always busy with his work..And Joe..Joe..He cares more about his girlfriend than his own sister.”.

Nania rubbed her melted tears for the umpteenth time with a handkerchief. Rinai rain that began to fall one by one soaked the burial ground as if forcing Nania to rise from the front of her mother's grave, as if forcing Nania to wake up from her nightmare. Nania looked up to let her face moistened by the point - the point of rain that began to melt.

“Why God? Why?” crying Nania. “Why??”

The lightning that struck in the sky made the curly haired girl flinch and lose her balance, she fell down, she fell down, the wet leaves of – that were scattered in the burial ground littered her hands and clothes but Nania seemed indifferent and powerless to get up immediately. The girl could only cry and cry.

A pair of legs with black sneakers arrived – arrived came closer and stood in front of him making Nania puffed.

Nania raised her face to see who had come and her eyes immediately collided with the pair of – ash eagle eyes that were so clear as crystal, looking at her in the rain.

The owner of those – ash eyes, a tall young man dressed all in black with a long black hair cauldron that covered almost half of his face. The young man reached out his hand as if he wanted to help Nania get up.

Nania was amazed to look at the young man who thought – was identical to his brother Joe. That young man...With his face that seemed so perfect like the face of a statue of – beautiful Greek God of legend, his snow-white skin was matching with his pinkish lips that did not smile when looking at Nania. But the look in the eyes of his –-grey-colored eagle shone so gently as to sedate anyone who returned his gaze.

“Sorry...I just want..” The young man looked a little nervous because Nania was so fixated on looking at him. It was as if Nania received the helping hand and let the mysterious young man help her rise.

“Te...Thank you..” said Nania when the young man replaced Nania's wet handkerchief by thrusting her own handkerchief, to clean the soil and leaves that stuck to Nania's body. The mysterious young man nodded and then just passed by from before Nania without speaking what – what else.

“Eh....Wait..” Nania exclamations empty unanswered.

The lightning that struck again, made Nania realize to immediately find a shelter.

Something sparkling on the ground made Nania stunned, the sweet girl leaned over to pick her up.

“What is this? The necklace? “ thought Nania was confused. “Whose necklace fell here?”

A small chain necklace with a Pentagram shaped pendant. The necklace is too small to be worn by adults, it's a child's necklace – children!

“Nania...Rained out...Later you get sick..” heard the cry of Abi schoolmate Nania who came running – small run approaching Nania while carrying an umbrella. “Lo family has been anxious waiting for you in the car because you have been too long at the tomb “

“I'm sorry...” said Nania slowly, hunt – hurriedly tucked the tiny necklace into the pocket of her skirt. Paddled with Abi, the curly haired sweet girl pierced through the rain and headed to where her family and friends – close friends were waiting.

Unseen by Nania, when the ash-eyed young man – ashes that helped her was back again to the cemetery and seemed to be confused looking for – find something scattered.

It's already night time. Although the crowd filled her house for Tahlilan, but Nania felt lonely alone in her room did not want to blend in. There was a gaping wound in her heart, there was a part of her lost soul being forcibly snatched away from her, Nania's tears dripping again for the umpteenth time. She took a picture of her mother slowly.

“Mama...Why did you leave Nania? Why?” crying Nania sad. Lusy, Winda and Abi, – friends of his close friends went inside his room to comfort him, trying to ease his sadness.

“Nania...” reprimand Winda while touching Nania's shoulder slowly. Nania looked.

“Win..” cry Nania exploded. Teens – young teens were hugging each other trying to share flavors.

“Yang stoic ya Nan...The patient...” said Winda trying to strengthen the heart of Nania.

“Iya Nan..” Lusy spoke up. “ Lo will still have me, Winda and Abi.”.

Nania could not say - said, the curly-haired girl could only hug her friend – even tighter.

This morning was really beautiful. The blue sky paraded the white clouds, toying with Nania's curls with the cold of the wind. But that beauty did not seem to affect Nania's mood. The sweet girl let the white sand swipe – swipe her bare feet, tracing the coast in search of the calmness of her broken heart.

By ourselves.

Sepi taste.

But Nania wanted to be alone, because she was alone, the mother she loved so much no longer existed. There was no longer a place where he was spoiled and felt the caress of love.

The beach was still quiet this early, but in the eyes of Nania, the beach was as if crowded with echoes of the laughter of his mother who joked with him among the waves of the beach. As if drawn again in his eyes, the shadow of his young self dancing – nari around his mother on the beach. Her tiny body running – run on the sand, joking with mom. She fell down, crying and mom came to hug her lovingly, wiped her tears and kissed her forehead.

“Ah mom...” Nania moans in the heart. “ Nania misses mom, why did you leave Nania so quickly? In 2 weeks Nania has her 17th birthday...Nania wants to celebrate her big birthday with her mom. Why ma?...Nana...Nania wants to feel like mom's back...Want once..”

Nania also remembered, it felt like just yesterday she, Joe, papa and her mother were the same – vacation to the beach. Nania recalled how anxious and panicked her mother had seen her fall from Joe's jetski's bonnet at sea. Her mother hugged her when she finally made it back to land with Joe.

Nania took a long breath. The girl spread her gaze out into the ocean. The blue sea was as blue as his feelings at that time. Slowly he continued to walk along the beach.

“Eh?...It turns out there's someone here besides me!” arrived – arrived Nania stop walking. A few meters in front of him, he saw a body lying on its back on the white sand of the beach. The waves of the beach repeated – again swept the body, a young man with a tall body and long hair.

“Why that guy? Is he not afraid of being dragged by the waves?” thought Nania astonished. “Or....Don't – don't he faint? Or the...Or she wants...”

Curiosity makes the curly-haired girl slowly – land approached the young man.

The young man was still fully dressed. The waves toyed with jeans and his shirt. His long black hair stuck to his cheek, around his neck and on his shoulder every time the waves left him, and re-strung the long hair when the waves came to splash the tall body with its cold water. The young man's eyes were closed, as if – was sleeping.

Silent – silent Nania noticed the young man. The sweet girl clutched her mouth.

“Taste – it feels like I've seen him before. His face is specific...Her hair...But where is ya?” Nania held her breath looking at the young man, as if afraid that young man arrived – arrived awake.

The young man's skin was so white as snow, his face was pale from the setting of the waves. Nania like looking at a wax statue of the legend of the god – the Greek god is very beautiful, a wax statue that seems to be made with very heart – heart and very perfect. His specific face, his pointed nose, and his nice pink lips, his neck, his sturdy shoulders were puffed up behind his already random shirt –...But why is he just standing still not moving like that? Fainted...Or is he intentionally suicidal?

Nania almost suffocated in shock when – arrived the young man opened his eyes. Her eyes were ash-coloured – clear ash, staring at sharp Nania – sharp, like the eyes of a hungry glittering eagle stalking its prey.

The curly-haired girl retreated a few steps as the young man rose from the sand.

“Sorry...I don't mean to startle elo..” said the young man while still staring at Nania with – ash eyes, but the look in his eyes had started to soften. The young man collected his shoes which were scattered toyed with the waves.

“Gue...” the young man noticed Nania's grim face. “Why do you look sad?....Lo...Still thinking about your mom??”

Nania was shocked to hear that, as if the young man could read Nania's heart. The girl only realized where she had seen the young man before.

“Gue just remembered, he who once helped me and gave me a handkerchief when at the funeral mama at that time..” said Nania in the heart. “Why can he be here too?”

The cute girl was flabbergasted when the young man walked over to her and although she initially looked doubtful –, the gondrong suddenly touched Nania's cheek slowly.

 “Originally you will be steadfast in facing it...All will be well – fine...Believe me..” said the young man softly. “Lo's mother didn't leave, but she lived in your heart...Join you wherever you step..”

Nania was just about to reply to the word – said the young man when he saw the young man hunted – hurriedly lowered his hand and his face turned in another direction.

“Nania!! Nania!! Wow here apparently elo........We are looking for where – where!” heard the sound of Winda, Lusy and Abi who ran – runs come closer.

Nania looked. Friend – his close friend was worried looking for – find himself who did disappear without knowing who - who since the morning – once in the morning.

Friends – his loyal friend was staying at his house since the funeral of mama, mumpung school holidays are still a few days away, they decided to accompany Nania who was sad over the departure of her mother.

“Nania, you have made us anxious, go not say – say!” namel Winda noisily.

“Iya...But...Who the hell is he, Nan? Who talked to that lo? Waddutuh...Take it diaaa...Like model photo!!” Lusy talk shameless – shy again. Nania grumbled, her friend that one was not able to pass the cute – saucy for a second too, the radar must have caught on quickly.

“Oh dia...” Nania was disappointed when she saw the young man arrive – just left her as soon as her friend – friend came closer. The young man simply passed by without saying a single word of farewell. Nania hasn't even asked her what her name is. The sweet girl looked at the back of the young man who had gone away from it. Strange youth, he came and went like a ghost, as if as soon as – arrived, appeared out of nowhere, and disappeared so quickly out of nowhere.

“Cakep what? He's Fairro, he's my sister's college!” abi said that made Nania almost hanged because Abi turned out to know the young man. “Aneh is that said cute? Do not understand me, my brother also until crazy – crazy with him, why the hell? Is it because he's good at violin?? If I think Fairro is not sane.”.

“Hus!!” Winda glared at hearing the word – said Abi who raided without brakes.

“Ya is exactly what I saw..” said Abi while nyelonong preceded his girlfriend – friend, there was a tone of envy in Abi's voice.

“Eh wait...Wait for...Lo said his name was Fairro huh?” tanya Nania pursued Abi's steps, silent – silent curly-haired girl could not help her curiosity about the mysterious young man who turned out to be named Fairro. “She's sent sekampus brother lo ya? He played the violin?”

“Ho oh!” sahut Abi.”Wh why? Do you also have a crush??”

“Abi...I'm just nanya...You know he..”.

“So she why?”

“Ah...Nothing – what is it..”

“Nania? Why the hell?” Abi is upset to see Nania's attitude, but the girl does not answer anymore.
