Milky Way: VALLENA's
Chapter 18: Reunion
Across from Vall's house, there is a small house where the old grandmother lived with a 23-year-old grandson. The daily life of the old grandmother in addition to cleaning the yard and house Vall, he also sells rice pecel in front of his house.
Not many visitors come every day. Just some neighbors. In addition to the quiet place and environment, the location of the house is far from the hustle of the city.
Looks like the old mother is preparing some of her merchandise. It is clear that the old body that is not able to carry a half bucket of water. Occasionally the old mother wiped the sweat on her forehead and cheeks.
A moment later came his grandson who was riding a motorcycle. The granddaughter who was walking to her grandmother. Without saying anything, the granddaughter immediately opened the drawer where her grandmother used to store money. Seeing only a few coins, the grandson seemed to complain a little.
“granny just opened a trade, come back later today”
Without answering, the granddaughter immediately left by kicking some chairs and tables. In the grandmother's heart, she was eager to see her granddaughter become a better person. Even if he is not his biological parent, at least he hopes to educate his only grandson towards success.
“nek, give me a plate of nasi” said a woman next to him.
The old woman was immediately shocked and stroked her chest. He did not know that anyone was around him, probably because he felt old.
With great difficulty, the old grandmother brought a plastic chair for the beautiful woman in front of her.
“are you from the city? I've never seen you before. And I don't see the vehicle. Is it possible you're walking here?”
The old grandmother's question was ignored. The woman's gaze led to Vall's house that looked deserted.
Not a few then a plate of rice pecel grandma serve to the beautiful woman. It looked like the woman smelled the scent from the plate in her hand.
“aroma of the leaves of the basil feels very fragrant. It reminds me of my past. Very delicious if the food contains a memory” said the woman
“if you like it, come again next time. Ah, what is the name of this beautiful lady?” ask the grandmother.
The woman smiled a little scary. Even his eyes were seen staring at the grandmother sharply like a predatory animal.
“they gave me the name iron finger” said the woman who was none other than the iron finger.
The arrival of an iron finger was of course to chase after Lena who was currently lying in Vall's house. The RIP members who served as police have informed us all about Vall and Lena. The reason why the police did not search for Lena for what happened in the garbage village was because Lena was deliberately hidden and would be killed quietly by those RIPs.
The grandmother who looked a little afraid of the woman in front of her tried to shift the conversation.
“i heard the news that you live with a useless grandson. Are you suffering?” ask the iron finger.
“that's how young people are now. Too easily carried away the atmosphere of the social environment”
“are you suffering? I can grant your wish to end that”
The grandmother who heard the word iron finger had an uneasy feeling of trying to reason away from him.
“fear is just a depiction of the human senses. So too with pain. Isn't it time to rest?” the iron finger
...****************...
Inside the house, Lena opened several storage boxes of goods. Her face looks radiant looking at a wedding dress that looks worn and unkempt.
“it belongs to my mother” said Vall in bed not far from Lena was.
The curious Lena tried to wear it. Because it feels narrow and does not fit in the body height, Lena also save it back with a feeling of disappointment.
After several times Lena's hands ruffled things, she found a textbook. The book belongs to Vall who has some small scribbles. Lena knew very well the graffiti in the book was a hand scratch of the Moon.
There are some beautiful words and poetry that lead to the recognition of love. Both Lena and Vall, long before they had understood the feeling of the moon being unrequited. What the Moon had experienced up to this second made Lena feel guilty.
“your friendship is so beautiful. If I didn't exist, maybe the Moon is here right now. Not me” said Lena lirih
“dia beyond reach ku”
“whatever it is and however, if you knew what happened to him at this time would you still think the same?. Her sweet smile, her sincerity and kindness, are no more.”
Vall who saw Lena dissolved in grief immediately hugged her from behind.
“that's my fault, you don't have to think about anything. Everything that happened was my fault. Nothing will change even if you spend your time drowning in grief.”
Suddenly there was the sound of a door being violently smashed. The wooden door of Vall's house was thrown in hard until it broke into 2 parts.
“excuse me, there's a guest!” the iron finger
Vall who felt an unpleasant feeling immediately turned his back on Lena. A woman called the middle iron finger turned to look at Vall and Lena from behind the door.
“have I come at the right time?” ask the iron finger
“what do you want?”
“bocah Milky way it” point finger iron
The iron finger stepped closer to Vall and Lena who looked nervous. Lena's face was clearly visible like a frightened person even though they had never met.
“ya. It's unique, isn't it? Right now you feel like a cornered rat. That is how all the Milky Way sects felt when they met us RIP”
“RIP? Did you do it?” ask Lena
“your village? That's”
“why?! They have nothing to do with me!”
“your question is ridiculous. Imagine what if a RIP asked you why you were trying to save the man who should have died? We have a different way of thinking. Don't talk too much about how wonderful kindness is. You destroyers of the art of life will not understand how important a death, misery, and suffering itself”
Lena who was terrified of things she did not know clasped Vall's shirt tightly from behind. He did not expect his death to come sooner than he expected.
“so sweet, I who do not understand love is actually very envious of what you feel at this time”
The iron finger directly pointed its claws towards Lena. At that moment, Vall's hand caught him.
“I won't let you touch it one bit. My life is the bet.”
The iron finger that looked at Vall's emotional gaze seemed to instantly take a few steps back. In his heart he felt Vall was like a terrifying demon. Though this man in front of him was nothing more than an ordinary man he had killed all along. But somehow for a moment Vall's emotional gaze could kill in one look.
“i know people like you on RIP. A human who has a demon soul in him” said an iron finger.
“I don't care about RIP. Go or step on my meat?”
The iron finger that felt slighted also began to emotion. At Vall's neck, he threw the man's body hard against the wall.
The weak and helpless Lena could only scream in fear seeing Vall in the torment. There was even a sound of broken bones as Vall's arm was pulled and banged to the floor.
For this time, Vall fought a much different person than the opponent he had been killing all along. The RIP sect members were indeed no ordinary humans. Even if Vall fought back, the iron finger seemed easy to play with. But Vall does not give up, he tries to keep protecting Lena from her own body whenever an iron finger tries to kill her.
Vall is still trying to protect Lena on the edge of the wall with her body. With every finger of iron attacked, Vall used all his remaining force by fending off with all his limbs that he could move.
Lena who was constantly screaming saw the broken bones of Vall out through her own flesh and skin.
“why don't you show a face of pain?!” ask the iron finger.
“that's because he's dead” said July at the room door.
Looking surprised at Lena, she recognized this man named Juli while dreaming about a flash of her past. This man is the son of a shaman his mother's best friend who is said to have something scary in him.
The iron finger that looked at Juli was slightly disturbed.
“ini. Go find another victim” said finger iron
Even though they have never met, but as fellow RIP they have each other in common with each other met with fellow RIP.
“I have other plans. I intend..”
Unfinished July spoke, an iron finger leaped up and attacked Juli's face with her knees. But quickly Juli held back with her palm.
Outside the house, Moon and her daughter, who were not allowed to enter the house, are covering the body of an elderly grandmother lying on a trading table. With all her courage, the Moon tried to fix the poor grandmother's head that had been broken to the back.
“what do you need help with?” ask princess Moon
“don't!, I told you not to stare here. Close your eyes!”
“from earlier I closed my eyes bu” replied the Moon girl who looks innocent but obedient.
A moment later, Juli's body is thrown out through a window. Followed by a figure of iron finger that looks serious against him with all his energy. These two RIPs fight each other punches and kicks. Looks like an iron finger hand easily destroyed the fence and trees around. The moon that witnessed this immediately hugged her daughter and brought her inside the house. How surprised the Moon saw his two best friends huddled up to each other.
Lena who saw the Moon in front of him was not able to stem his sense of hunger. He did not expect his best friend who was thought to have died 10 years ago to have stood up and smiled at him.
“do I die?” vall said when he saw the moon.
Outside the house, several passersby were seen busy pulling out mobile phones and recording two RIPs fighting. From the crowd, Gin tried to throw and push all around him and ran towards the two RIPs.
“hai ponytail boy!! You're alive!!” gin shouted looking happy to see Juli
Juli who was busy in the fight was a little surprised to see Gin. she did not expect, the man who she considered kern 20 years ago now looks like a worthless gem. Unceasingly stale, Gin immediately embraced and shook Juli's body shake like a long-time relative did not meet
“what are you doing?” ask July
“why with this baboon?” the iron finger conjunct the July question
“aku? I am a piece of hell that fell from the sky” Gin said as he put on a bragging pose
“aku from sky” connect July while mimicking Gin “ saying I don't remember with your tacky tone. As I remember you were like an illegitimate child thrown away. Curled up sadly on the streets”
“during this, I have my own adventures” replied Gin
The iron finger that saw their closeness also became very emotional. For the first time the iron finger felt slighted. Though all this time he always enjoyed the fear of all victims.
“enough! I don't care about you guys. Today I will also paint regret on your faces!”
The iron toe started to take a position. Quickly the woman's body shot towards the two men before her. As his sharp fingernails were about to touch Gin's neck, quickly and barely making a sound, Gin's left hand hit him in the neck and broke. The head of an iron finger looks like a chicken twisted around its neck. His body instantly fell down violently making everyone around them cry hysterically.
“my darling punch didn't fade for 20 years” said Gin
Juli who was reluctant to serve Gin also chose to go into the house. He saw his wife's moon was bandaging some wounds on Vall's body. Not long after, the sound of a police car approached. The RIP sect police who ordered the iron finger to kill Lena have come.
The RIP policeman appears to be stepping quietly towards Gin standing up. From behind his sunglasses, he saw a lifeless sprawled iron finger throw his smile.
“aku from the police, complete with a warrant to bring a woman named Lena the owner of the garbage village to come to the police station now”, RIP police said by showing a warrant.
Gin, who felt that the man in front of him was no ordinary policeman, started to prepare and clenched his hands again.
It also appeared that Juli who stepped towards them looked solemn. His gaze was as sharp as a wolf that wanted to hunt prey.
RIP police who saw Juli also threw a cynical smile. Although they are the same as RIP does not mean they must have a one-way goal. All RIPs are free to do anything according to the symbol on their arms marked B which means Butcher.
“I think I can accompany you for a while to play” said RIP police by tightening both gloves.
