Map of 7 Souls: Hikma Andapi
Promise : Ep. 1


march 10, 2011 -


The skinny and small young man ran very fast. He walked down the main road in Amlapura City Karangasem Regency Bali. A very clean highway passed through him with tears. He tried to ease the crying by running as hard as he could and trying to get out of the main street of the city but the crying could not be contained at all.


The late and cold night passed with great concern. He only wears a white shirt with a combination of blue on the sleeve. He wore a short-sleeved shirt with no jacket on this cold night. Black jeans are worn on the bottom and sneakers are predominantly white with a little blue on the right and left sides protecting both feet.


He ran as fast as he could. His thin and tall body added to his strength to run that fast. The palm of the right hand sometimes wipes away the tears that keep falling on the cheek.


For a long time he ran out of the house in the middle of the city of Almapura. He could no longer bear to see his mother crying because he remembered his younger brother. He felt guilty for what happened to his only brother.


After running about 2 km from the city of Almapura, he stopped at the Candra Buana Cultural Park. Tonight, of course it was quiet because it was almost 1 at midnight. The young man stopped his run right in front of the park. He entered the park, walked slowly and looked for a seat not far from the large Cambodian Tree in the middle of the park. There are dozens of Cambodian Trees in the park, but only one has the largest trunk. Beside the Cambodian tree is a park bench. He chose to sit on a park bench made of concrete.


Candra Buana Cultural Park is one of the parks protected by the government. The design of the garden is beautiful and clean. The walkway made with Balinese stone ceramics, has been installed neatly in the park. The visitors can walk leisurely in the park comfortably because the ceramics are well installed on all routes. Even in the morning, adult visitors walk on ceramics without using footwear because there are small protrusions in ceramics colored natural cement. They use those bumps as massagers of the soles of their feet.


"What should I do, my God? I have to how to bring all the circumstances back? I can't bear to see Biyang (Mother) crying like that" she said softly.


The young man tried to catch his breath while wiping away the tears in the corner of his small eyes. Sometimes he pulls the liquid out of his nose. The liquid automatically came out because he was crying earlier.


Youth who have brown skin due to frequent sun exposure during the day, sitting pensive in the city park. He was alone in the garden, looking at the star-studded sky.


"I, Hikma Andapi, promised Biyang (Mother) and Ajik (Father) will bring Adi (Adik) Firman home and we can regroup.
