CHAPTER 24

While it was far from Mother Maya's house, the original Fairro was still in the corner of the apartment building with the Oriental-faced delicate woman in the dark night.

“You are no longer safe here...They already know you're here...The Pentagram necklace..” the delicate woman touched Fairro's left wrist. “You don't wear it anymore...You ruined it...That Pentagram necklace protects you and your brother from the vision of our world elders...It belongs to Indra...But...But you ruined it..” 

The woman held onto Fairro's face with both hands, holding Fairro's head down, only to hide behind a strip of her long hair, forcing Fairro to look at her.

“You know? They're lookingfor you...They've been looking for you for a long time...They don't want you to exist...That's why I have to take you away from here...Go away from the pursuit of the elders.” The woman cried again, her voice sounded as if she was so sad, so hurt. “Poor child..Poor kid...It's so sorry for you...Poor Indra..”.

Fairro was just complaining long. The gondrong did not really hear what the delicate woman said, actually not not not listening, but did not care. Fuck – I don't know what – called elders...Fuck a guy named Indra...Who her? I don't know...They always call me Indra's son...So Indra is my real father? Shits...What kind of old man is he? Just leave me at someone else's house? The gondrong frowned. His head hurts so much. Goddamn bum! Yes, the old man who caused me to have this strange disease must be a jerk old man! I´m...I almost hurt Nania because of – because of this disease...Wh why? Why they, who claim to be parents, didn't just kill me when I was a baby...Why did they let me continue to live with this terrible disease...Which makes me have to kill everyone – people...Wh why?? That's...That's very painful...It's been years – years makes me almost crazy because of it...I tried to commit suicide several times...While on the beach...If only Nania hadn't come close...I must have succeeded...And when Nania's car almost got hit by that bus...I didn't just want to help Nania, but I wanted to let the bus hit me...Always failing...Oh, Shit...Shits...Wh who? Or what is Indra really? My dad? Bullshits! Then mother? Yes who is my mother? She must be a jerk, too...Because I gave birth to this disease...Shits...

“You...You must want to meet your mother, Nayla...L am...I kept it well...Because Indra wanted you to bury him.” the delicate woman arrived – suddenly said, making Fairro flabbergasted.

Saving mother? Fairro tried to straighten his body. What happened to her mother? Fairro shivering...This thing keeps its mother? Her mom?

Fairro puffed up as he suddenly felt his – feet no longer treading the ground. Fairro felt like his body and the body of the delicate female creature were raised upwards.

The night wind was so cold it pierced – pierced as if not enough to torment Fairro. Leaves – leaves on the tops of trees that grow in the corner of the Apartment Building page swiping – swipes Fairro's body indicates how high Fairro is from the ground.

Fairro felt his head throbbing – pulses looking at everything around him arrived – arrived fade...Apartment Building...Trees...Stars – stars in the sky...Everything becomes vague...And finally gone...Entering the darkness that greatly enveloped him and the woman of the subtle-beings. It was as if they were entering a sea of cold, dark skies and were so silent. Where is he now? Where did the woman take him?

Long time it feels like they are spinning – turn in the dark. Fairro's body seemed to have frozen cold in the arms of the delicate woman. The clattering sound of Fairro's teeth shivering with coldness as if so loud rang out within the silence of the dark sea.

“Tu...Put me down..” doesn't feel Fairro complaining.

“Saballah...We're almost there...We'll meet Nayla, your mother.” said the woman. “You must want to meet your mother...After all for a while you will be safe if you are at your mother's place.”.

“Gue please...Lower me...” reset Fairro.

But the delicate woman was like not hearing the word – said Fairro, he even more accelerated to bring Fairro across the darkness that seemed endless – end it. Fairro cursed softly, he felt his legs and hands as if they were numb from the freezing cold. It would be foolish to try to force her down now, because if the woman let go of her embrace, she would fall somewhere, she could be doomed later.

“Well we have arrived..” the delicate woman finally spoke again. Fairro saw the slow light – gradually began to get rid of the darkness, even though only dim – but Fairro began to see the situation around him again. Walls – dull-green-green colored stone walls adorn on their left – right. It felt far down, until finally Fairro felt his – feet touch something. Wetter. Warm, at least so warm after a long time in the arms of the frozen delicate woman. Fairro surprised. Water?? His feet were like they were walking into the water! Where are they now?? Fairro was like a blind man who could only see, confused about his surroundings, when he and the woman were already standing perfectly in the water which turned out to be only knee-deep.

The – stone walls that stood firmly around them made Fairro feel like he was inside a narrow, high-walled circle soaring upwards until it far exceeded their heads. Fairro raised his head. There was no roof over the stone circle. Night sky and moonlight peek shy – shy from above, faint – faintly illuminate them. Fairro began to feel bad, the hick was agitated because he realized that they looked like them...It seems they are inside...

“South???” spontaneous said – words that spoken by Fairro.

“Yes...This is where your mother is..” sahut the woman in a soft voice. “For while you are safe here...Because I have fenced this well with all my abilities..”.

“That's your mother..” The woman pointed to the bottom of the well, between the legs – their feet. Ash eyes – ashes Fairro follows where the woman's index finger leads.

“Mother??” Fairro was like jumping into a well wall, before slumping into the water. “Mother? That's...That's my Mom??”

Fairro's face immediately turned deathly pale and his body was shaken like a thousand bees saw a pile of bodies that had become a greenish skeleton – forages filled with moss, floating between their legs.

“Ngak...Not likely...No way..” Fairro roared loudly. The delicate woman only cried softly at Fairro's roar.

“Poor child...Poor kid...Ii'm sorry...I'm sorry I can't do more than this...Indra says...Only you can bury your mother in a proper place...Just you..” cried the woman.

“What...What really happened? To...Why would...Why does everything seem so horrible...Why did my mother become like that? Why can't you help Mom? Why me?...I´m...And Anggra.” Fairro could not continue the word – he said amid the shaking of his body that was getting stronger shivering. Not only shivering with cold and fear, but also because it is powerless to withstand the sadness that has so peaked.

The woman sat down near Fairro and stroked Fairro's hair as if to make the young man become a little calmer.

“Maybe...Maybe it's time you knew everything...L am...I'll tell you everything...Yep...Everything...” whispered the woman in Fairro's ear.

Fairro saw the woman feel the skeleton of Nayla, Fairro's mother, forcefully pulling a wooden box that seemed to have fused with the bones – Nayla's hand.

“It...This is the box your mother always carries...The box that one day is expected to be shown to you and Anggra...Angras...Yes, that's the name your mother gave your brother...Ta's...But your mother's intentions have never been fulfilled to this day...Because it's...Because your mother..and your father..” The woman cried again. Fairro shuddered at the hearing of his cries.

The box was opened by the woman. A photograph, and an old diary that had been so shabby and written a lot that was exposed to water.

“This photo...This picture is always kept by your mother...Because your brother's condition can't be real before two in the morning...So it will be difficult to see you guys with the same –...Hence...So your mother loved this photo very much and kept it well in the wooden box.” the story of the delicate creature woman while showing the old photo to Fairro.

In the photo appears a pair of tiny twin babies, with – clear ash eyes, lying side by side on a blanket. The neck of one of the babies was a necklace with a pentagram bobble.

“And this...Your mother's Diary...It says everything about your mother...Your papa...And you..” the woman handed the book to Fairro.

“Bu...My mother's diary?” Fairro stared at the old diary.
