“i heard you run this village. Their names are Ana and Nina. I will finance all the needs and some rewards if I can leave them here”
Lena let this mother and son into her house. Some fruits and drinking water Lena serve. The two boys looked at all the dishes on Lena's table.
“do you like fruit?” ask Lena
One of the people named Nina nodded with a sweet smile. He was different from his brother named Ana. Ana looked unconcerned and immediately picked up some apples.
“keep your attitude” orders Lyra on her son.
“it's okay, I have a lot of fruit for them if you want, I can get more”
“about my request?”
“ah yes, to leave these two children, I cannot accept it. Because I'm not good at taking care of kids and I'm pretty busy. It's better if you raise them here. I can prepare a place for you to stay.”
Lyra watched Lena with great gratitude. He did not expect finally he could get a place to live because all this time his life always moved without clarity to want to live where.
“is it true that I can stay here? I have many enemies that might trouble you someday” explained Lyra
“we can think of later” said Lena.
“well, I will also promise not to bring my problems to this village” said Lyra left her seat. “I will be back again, while my two children let stay here a while”
“are you going to leave them?”
“ignore, he only needs to kill a few people to hide his whereabouts here” replied Ana
Lena felt that the relationship and life of this mother and child was something wrong. But Lena felt that these twins were so cute and adorable. It was impossible for him to throw it away just because of the talk that came out of a boy's mouth.
“you were the first L-marked person to help me” said Lyra who then closed the door to Lena's house.
Lena who heard it immediately rushed after him, Lena was sure that this Lyra knew the mystery of the L mark on her arm. As soon as the door opened quickly, Lena did not find Lyra's whereabouts anymore. Lyra seemed to vanish like a ghost leaving her two daughters at Lena's house.
“do you know what your mother meant?” ask Lena to Ana and Nina who ate fruits on the table. “tik L on my arm. How did your mother know when this sign was covered in my shirt?” continued Lena
Nina who saw Lena looked curious and surprised even then put the fruit.
“that sign is a birthmark that only a Milky Way Leader has. We often meet with them on our journey” explained Nina.
“them? You mean there are a lot of people who have a sign like me?”
“ya, they are scattered throughout life. As for the reason why rarely anyone knows, it is because they are hiding.”
“hiding? from what?”
“from RIP. That's all I know. For the rest, my mother knew more.”
“how can you be so knowing. I mean, do you guys have anything to do with the Milky Way or the RIP itself?” lena asked increasingly
“no, we are just animals that escaped from the seabed” replied Ana.
Nina also seemed to laugh as if she wanted Lena to think that Ana's speech was funny and silly. But not for Lena, she felt that this family that came to her held many mysteries about her origin.
The clock shows at 3 am, Lena is still awake because in her heart it is still unthinkable about the Milky Way and some people who know about it. As hard as Lena tried to remember the past, but not a single memory flashed through her head other than a woman singing to her. The woman who had the same L mark seemed like it was her belief that she was her mother.
A moment later the door opened slowly, Vall entered with a blood-blooded body. Slowly Vall moved his legs, hoping not to wake Lena up. But Lena was already standing at the door of her room. Seeing Vall's condition, Lena approached him and removed some of Vall's torn clothes.
“do the villagers bother you again?” ask Lena
Vall just fell silent. During this time Vall was the victim of bullying the villagers of trash because it was considered a useless person and a carrier of shit. In fact, often Lena found Vall drooping on the edge of the river with a body full of wounds. The reason why Vall gave the slippers to Angga was because only Angga dared to defend him when Vall was thrown several stones. Even once a stone thrown at Vall hit Angga until his head was bleeding when he intended to protect Vall.
Lena held tightly onto Vall's blood-stained shirt. His eyes almost cried every time he saw Vall's condition. He wishes Vall to leave this village, but he also wants Vall to stay close to him.
“tell me this hurts. You're human too. Just like them, you also have pain”
Lena who saw Vall's condition tried to hide her sadness. At most his face and taken p3k box. Vall stared at Lena's back from a distance.
“I hurt when you looked at me like that” Vall said slowly
Although slowly, Lena heard it clearly. Lena's hand continuously ruffled the contents of the p3k box hoping it could buy time because she didn't want to stare at Vall with tears. Not only did Vall's condition make his heart ache, but also the feeling that Vall had that he could not repay even though he was feeling the same way.
Lena treated Vall's wounds very carefully. Although it looks deep, but Vall's wounds are not so dangerous. There were also a few stitches in some of his wounds. Lena was very confident with the stitches that were in Vall's wound. The same stitches when Lidya's mother took care of her first. Very neat and so strong but also very concise.
Vall kept staring at Lena's face so closely. The smell of jasmine in Lena's body which signifies her trademark is so fragrant and makes her a little passionate. Vall who felt like he was bewitched by the beauty of Lena's face began to touch the woman's cheeks with great sense.
Lena who felt touched with that feeling began to get carried away. All this time Lena has only been a complacent assholes with her foul booze. This was the first time Lena felt she was truly treated with such specialness by someone she had so much hoped for long before.
Again, their eyes clashed with each other in view. Trying to scream in each other's hearts that they really really need each other's reply to their feelings all along. But as Lena did not want to get dissolved in her feelings, she immediately turned her face and left Vall.
“for a while sleep on the sofa, your room is being used guest” said Lena.
At the same time, there was a sound of objects falling in Vall's room. It makes them both feel the same way. They looked at each other and stared at each other in the room. Shortly after, there was another sound like an object being thrown against the wall of the room loudly. Not only that, they also heard the faint voice of a boy whispering.
“ana, down now. Later they heard” said Nina's words to Ana in the room
Actually Vall did not want to ignore it, for him, maybe it was the voice of the guests that Lena meant. But began to appear the sound of a roar that greatly made the fur of their nape a little stiffened. Vall began to move and stepped closer to the door of the room. From the outside it seemed to sound even clearer than before, the roar like a monster again sounded louder.
Lena, who was first frightened by strange things, began to put herself behind Vall. Vall who felt very curious also ventured to open the door slowly. It looks like a dark room. Nina accidentally turned off the room light when Vall opened the door.
“don't come in, my mother will explain this. Please get away” pinta Nina on Vall
Vall who tried to see all corners of the room immediately understood and realized there were many blood stains on the walls of the room. Also Nina who was standing against the wall looked worried.
“where's your brother?” ask Lena to Nina
Slowly Nina pointed her index finger towards the sky of the room
“do not move, and retreat slowly. My mother will handle this well. Trusti” said Nina
Lena and Vall felt some droplets of blood falling from above down some of their shoulders. Lena's eyes widened as if she couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Ana looks like she is possessed and crawling on the edge of the sky. His eyes were all white. His mouth is wide open. His short, shoulder-length hair churned and moved like a living worm. Her skin is slightly bluish. Some of the skin is flaking and burning from the body. The fishy smell of his blood was very pungent with the smell of animal carcasses emerging from Ana's body.
At the same time the door to Lena's house was broken and Lyra the mother of Ana and Nina appeared. Lyra immediately shot like a gazelle towards Vall and Lena who were still standing stiff. They both pulled Lyra firmly back until she fell. Lyra's body was quite slim and seemed to have no strength to do violence, but she easily pulled both Vall and Lena's body like a toy.
Lyra quickly entered the room and closed the door from the inside. At the same time, a strange language sound came out from Lyra's lips. The sound of Ana's screams grew louder as her mother chanted some strange language.
Vall and Lena, who were still not fully aware, were startled when they felt a small earthquake shake from the room. The two of them stared at each other and retreated slowly. This was the first time they had seen with their own eyes a strange occurrence beyond human reason. Soon after, the earthquake shook again accompanied by a small scream Ana.
This second shock made the sound of night animals like crickets start to vanish. Vall who began to approach the room again was made shaken by the third earthquake that came from his room. This third shock was able to make a flock of birds and some animals around Lena's house scatter away like there was a danger that was happening inside Lena's house.
Shortly from the third shock, the door of the room was opened slowly by Nina. Nina was seen out of the room followed by her mother who carried Ana's fainted body. They stepped towards the front door of Lena's house.
“I will replace some damaged items. For the incident, please do not let others know. I will take care of my daughter later” said Lyra
“wait, something is still bothering my mind. There's a lot I need to hear from you besides what just happened. I should know about the Milky Way now” Lena's pinta on Lyra
Lyra sighed and turned to face Lena. His face looks a little tired.
“not much I know about the sect. I'm just a wanderer who wants to live a normal life with my two daughters. We just happened to get involved a little with the hostility of the two sects. Both the Milky Way and the RIP, they were both equally as rotten and equally as had several human members. They are only bound by the rules of the ancestors. If you know too much about it, chances are that one day this village could be wiped out. You're lucky enough to remember nothing about the Milky Way. Stay normal like this” explained Lyra while leaving Vall and Lena.
“normal life you say? Living like this?” lena
"i saw some empty houses as they passed by, for a while I was going to occupy them. Instead, I put some gift seeds in the room earlier"
Curious, Lena walks into Vall's room. Some blood stains that previously seemed to be scattered on the wall also seemed to disappear completely.
Lena also saw some diamond seeds at the table near the bed.
"They're not human" Vall said in his heart
