Elvarette Shiro
Episode 20: Chat
The right path depends
from the chosen and understood path
Not long after, our order arrived. A cup of black coffee, cappucino, and warm chocolate, as well as potato chips in large portions for discussion friends. The paper cups still billowing white smoke carried the scent of tranquility. Under the window of the train was a board desk, a special place like a table, where their orders were placed. Only the young man immediately sipped his order, while both of them were still waiting for their drinks to decrease in heat.
Black trains always pass through exotic routes, the drifting hills clearly visible behind the train windows. For me this is a normal sight, but for Elvy the little girl is a miracle. Then I took a look at her amazement by asking her a few questions.
"Little girl, how are you?" I said to the little girl who was still staring at the train window.
"Okay, brother himself how? I heard that brother of his disciple uncle Khidr was with Obha?" she replied timidly, sitting sweetly while grasping her own two hands with a slight tremble.
We started the conversation for the first time. I saw his emerald eyes full of dark stories, but he always covered them with joy. His destiny line was indeed so unfortunate, hard and full of pain. But there is such a strong hope for a miracle. Not many people have it, for those who have plunged into the darkness is a rare item. He still kept two lights, starlight and light from himself.
Little Elvy has untapped potential, so Arafis was asked to hone his skills. But whether he is ready to accept the fact that he will be the third guard who has a duty “create” for some people. Therefore, I tried to strengthen my heart to be ready to accept the reality as a third guard, which is nothing but a lifeline. I started a small talk with him.
"I want to know your story, how did you meet Arafis? Oh yeah, what was your name?"
"Shiro, Elvarette Shiro Brother."
"Beautiful name, I see there is purity of you, but I also feel there is darkness..."
"The same as brother?" elvy answered with a different aura.
I know his basic abilities are starting to open up but he's not conscious yet. His eyes started to shine as he looked at me, every guard could definitely “read” what ordinary eyes could not see. Arafis is good at reading thoughts and feelings, I am good at reading destiny and the past and the future. As for little Elvy, I think he has the ability to read the track record as well as the lifethrowers.
Her green eyes returned to normal, instantly Elvy was a little confused about what she had just said. Then I approached her, stroking her jellyfish gently while giving her a relaxing massage. He asked about what had happened, instantly Arafis answered his question according to what Elvy was talking about.
“Elvy, it looks like your ability started to open just now!” Arafis.
“What capabilities is Ohba?” tannya
“Darling, you can already read my past. Maybe you didn't tell me everything, but I know you know it. “
“Read the past?”
“True, we have the ability ‘read’ that is not owned by ordinary people. Arafis read thoughts and feelings, I read destiny and the past and the future. As for you, I think he has the ability to read the track record.”
"What am I, reading my sister's past ‘itu’?"
“Iya, I know you already know my past which is ‘It’so you tremble a little.”
“I'm sorry sis for lancing into the most private thing from sister. I'm sorry Saki.”
“It's okay, you must have just started it for the first time. After all, there is Arafis and a magical note from Uncle Hallaj right?”
“How can sister know?”
“All guards have different ‘read’ ability, and that ability will be honed when there is continuous mentoring and training.”
"Thank you, Saki."
He looked awkward, he was still insecure about seeing my older self. When I saw this the first time he thought of me as his oldest brother. Arafis considered him his best friend before moving to a dark place. To make the atmosphere a little warm, I tell them directly my experience. This method can at least make the feeling a little calm and able to understand each other. Even though I could have used ‘my vision’, but the old way is better and can hone his skills as well.
"Looks like we're gonna be seeing each other in a minute, maybe from you?"
"Eh okay. My story begins with a house that I do not want to miss, should be a place that makes us always long for warmth, but in reality even burn comfort. Worse, my father and mother were more busy seeking external recognition than their children. I forget that we missed.
"You miss them?"
"It's very longing, especially my sister, Serena. We grew up in a strong spiritual dogma, but love was only used as a mantle, the core of the ancestral teachings on relationships between neighbors is interpreted as being gathered with those of the same caste. I'm tired of always wearing the same mask, like this isn't me.
"Then are you trying to take off that mask?"
"True, I take off the mask of falsehood and all that holds me back, I run away from all the falsehoods of society that are like cattle. And that was the beginning of my story in the dark.
"Hmmm... Interesting too, you're pretty brave too apparently."
"I... L'm... Just looking for who I am? All this time I've been a doll I don't know who I'm for."
"Today I'm starting to find common ground between the two of us Elvy."
"What is Saki's brother?”
“We have similarities.”
“What resemblance?"
"We are both rebels, rebellious from the idiosyncrasies in society. It may sound confusing to you, but you've dared to step on your own accord."
"Error is just a process of formation, later if you often make mistakes, you will know more when there are other options. The right path depends on the chosen and understood path."
"Then, what about my sister?"
"Your traveling companions know better about me, don't they, Arafis?" I answered who now took a glass of warm cappuccino.
"Why me? You know your own story better?" reply the young man who was shocked when his name was called the girl with glasses.
"Because my language is a little straightforward Arafis, I'm afraid that our little lady will be shocked to hear it." replied the glasses girl who was now starting to smile, who was now starting to smile, because during the trip he had not once showed off his sweet smile.
"Well if you want it like that Saki, so look Elvy, she's been through the same dark times as you, only she's a little bit wilder than you." Reveal it.
“Liar? But now she looks graceful Ohba?”
“Thank you for the compliment dear!” answer me
"And one more Elvy, now he's a direct envoy from Namus, the leader of the guards." Arafis
"Certainly that?" ask the little girl.
"Not really. I'm just doing my job, after all there's nothing better than Uncle Khidr isn't it?"
"But you've been sitting in the car number three my friend!"
"It was just a coincidence."
“It just so happens that part of destiny that we ourselves did not expect Saki.”
“You were too much about that Arafis.” I said, trying to close my smile with my right hand.
“You are also too self-humiliating.” Reply to the young man while laughing.
“Then your reason for going is Brother Saki? And where to go?” asked Elvy who had been a spectator, observing our familiarity.
“I went to be me, to be a dream that I had long abandoned.”
“Means?”
"A fool will light a torch during the day, then turn it off at night. Actually we have been given something that is not understood by the general public. We have a duty to be a light when dark arrives, not to be a deceiver to others.”
“However will the community accept us?” elvy
"No, but someday they'll need it, believe me."
"Why are you so sure Saki?"
"Because of experience! And also a strong belief in dreams."
"You sure? Mostly they...."
"Estracizing?"
"It's true."
"Listen to me carefully, look me in the eye more closely." I replied while holding the little girl's white cheeks and looking at her softly.
"Okay, Saki!"
"I've long since abandoned the talk of the people in my native place, I went to look for my dream while still sitting in kindergarten, becoming a teacher. But now, I'm starting to understand, I want to be a teacher, not just a teacher who lives a monotone, I want to be a teacher for myself who longs for the silence of the night."
“Teacher?”
“Not a formal teacher indeed, but a life teacher. Brave teachers educate with the reality.”
“Then?”
“And you know for yourself my black experience? The same experience as you, was once sold like merchandise to a depraved man. You were sold by your father, and I was sold by my lover. As well as the views of people around us who have been labeled as bad women. We've experienced a sense of meaninglessness.”
“Yeah... You also experienced Saki! I thought I was just a brother.”
“We have experienced it, even I once in the form of ending my hiup by dropping down from the top of the building. Fortunately, uncle Khidr came to my aid and became my spiritual guide until this time.”
“Kakak... I salute you.”
“Kelak, you will be a better figure Elvy.”
As the two conversed, the carriage entered a tunnel in a mountain, slowly fading, dimming, and then disappearing. It was left dark from inside the tunnel that was said to have stood for a long time. The beautiful panorama is now covered in black shadows as the story of my life and life. As for Arafis, he was simply observing the way I was providing assistance to Elvy.
The young man was just an observer at the time. Observing the direction of the conversation of two people who have the same understanding and life history, a packet of potato chips became his best friend, opened and then eaten barbeque-flavored chips. He doesn't care about the darkening of the old tunnel. As long as there's a snack, everything's fine.
The more intense the conversation, the darker the brighter the direction of the conversation. Whether it's an idea, complaint, recognition, experience or “visit” from each girl, including about the bright stars brought by them. I have a red star, while Elvy has a magenta-colored light bulb. I explain the main function of the object and how to use it so as not to use it incorrectly.
