My Another Life
start back

My current savings can only last for one week. If I decided to go on vacation, it would only last for 3 days.

I decided to go on vacation. Although it will only last for three days but it will be more fun. Let's first open the items given by uncle Ream.

It contained only uncle's clothes, identity necklaces and. When I took out all the things in the box there were two more small towns inside.

Did uncle want to give this to his lover. Why do I say it like that because it looks like a gift box with a heart sign in the middle.

"I'll try to deliver to the man who should have gotten this."

Later I will look until I meet uncle's lover or uncle's love.

The other box is a bit dull. I opened it too.

'Hi the Fanny girls, I really didn't expect you to read this letter. But if the time comes, I hope you will accept it with the air and move on with passion. You know I hate it when people look at you with pity. Who would dare to pity a cool woman like you. Have pity on their miserable lives, there is no need to share their gazes with you.

The coolest woman in my life is just you. Even my friends often say I'm crazy for being so proud of you. They said that I was blinded by you. But to me, their blind eyes can't see how cool you are. Remember not to catch up with me, or catch up with your parents. If you meet you here in such a quick time then I will directly beat you up. Remember there is no need to catch up with us, nor do we care when you will see us again. Live cool as always. Scatter the money you receive. I love you so much, Fanny girls.'

"Based on useless uncle, who do you call a cool woman. YOU MORON..."

I really couldn't hold back my tears there were about a hundred letters in that box with the same contents. Does she just want to write her last letter to me which one to her lover. He's gonna make it hard for me to deliver this gift.

Since there was no clue at all I had to deliver this gift box where it was, I tried to open it first. I just wish there was a clue that uncle gave me.

I opened very carefully, I don't want to break this box. When I opened the contents, I saw a ship of very beautiful wood. I accidentally shed tears.

I have loved boats since I was a kid. I like to buy things that are ship-shaped. I wanted to make my own craft in the form of a ship and at that time my uncle promised to teach me to make a boat after I graduated from college but my uncle reneged on his promise.

"Is this for me?"

I searched the mail inside the gift box but, nothing. Although I really want to have it but if this is not for me then I will not keep it.

When I took the ship trying to find a letter inside, I found an engraving that read 'cool woman'

Uncle said in his letter that the only cool woman he met was me.

"This ship means for me."

Why didn't uncle give when uncle was still with me. Why should I accept this gift from someone else, not the uncle who gave it to me directly.

That night I decided to visit my uncle's meal which was right next to my father and mother and even my grandparents.

There was no fear when I went there.

"UNCLE." I shouted at uncle's grave.

"Dad, uncle is so evil. Uncle didn't keep his promise to me." Hugging my father's grave.

"Mother, I don't dare use the money you saved." I said while looking at my mother's grave.

"Grandma, does grandma miss you so much?" I said while looking at Grandma's grave.

"It seems like only grandfather understands me, grandfather even though I have never met grandfather but I am sure that grandfather will definitely defend me this time." I said while looking at Grandpa's grave.

"Uncle, am I really not allowed to see you now?" I said while hugging my uncle's meal.

"Uncle you know, I really wanted to hug my uncle at graduation. I deliberately didn't come here after graduation, I didn't want to be jealous of the other friends. Those who are warmly welcomed by all family members, those who can take pictures with their families. I don't want to be jealous of them all. Uncle, I'm hugging you. Why when uncle was still with me uncle was so indifferent to me. I want to hear my uncle call me a cool lady. Uncle never hugged at all, but why did all the last letters that uncle wrote were just for me. I think my uncle took care of me just because Grandma told me to. Because of uncle's indifference to me, I also acted indifferently to uncle. Until suddenly during the meeting of uncle and I, uncle promised and then said it with a smile full of sincerity. At that time I was very happy because I felt noticed by uncle but it turns out that uncle even broke the promise that uncle made."

Say while hugging uncle's meal.

"Grandfather, what should I do to an uncle who has broken his own promise?" I said while looking at Grandpa's grave.

I promised to never cry in your graves.

"Mother, sorry. I'm not as strong as you when you're in trouble."

"Dad, sorry. I can't stay as excited as you are when you're in trouble."

"Grandma, sorry. I'm not as calm as you when you're dealing with a problem."

"Grandfather, sorry. I look so bad when I face problems."

"Uncle, sorry. I don't look like a cool woman anymore when I'm dealing with a problem."

How can I go forward alone. I don't have anyone right now. Who all my success will be for. I also want to take family photos like everyone else.

"Uncle, I'm sorry I never took a picture with you. How can I see my pama smile again. I don't like the picture attached here, uncle looks really creepy. I want to see uncle's smile again when I make an appointment. Though uncle is handsome why no one likes uncle. Unlike fathers who get gifts from various women."

"Dad, uncle was so lame."

"If uncle wants to get married then, maybe I'll get a very funny sister."

"Father, mother, grandmother, grandfather and uncle it seems like it's time for me to go home. Thank you for being my family. I'm not like other kids who can take pictures with their families, but I'm still lucky to have a family like you."

"All of you don't miss me well, let me miss you."

I also went back home. The house they once lived in is also with me. A house full of memories I will never leave.

From far away I saw many people gathered in the area of the house, I saw that my neighbor's house had burned down. I ran hard, I just wanted to hope my house was okay.

But when I got in front of my house.

"Patience well, Aileen."

My house is burned down. I heard from my neighbor that the source of the fire was from a shorted power pole. There were 5 houses that were burned down. Because the narrow road makes it difficult for firefighters to get to the location of the fire.

I can't say anything anymore. I just sat there staring at the burning house. There is not a single item left. All that's left is the clothes and the cell phone I have.

"I'm sorry, I can't keep the last relic from you guys."

My tears were dry by then. I can't cry anymore. I just kept quiet and heard all kinds of people who were feeling sorry for me.

I want to go back to hooka island. I still have a master if there, I also have Bacchi who is always there when I need it. I also have Isama who always makes me food. And there are soldiers who always want to look for me when I'm gone.

I can't count on anyone here. My pitiful neighbors started to leave. Now that I'm alone, I'm sitting right in front of the house that's gone.

"Ahl. I'm so tired, I'm sleepy."

At that time, I slept in front of the ground-based house. I sleep like a baby with a body. I slept without pillows and blankets but strangely enough, I slept a deep sting that night.

When I wake up, I stay there. Well there's not gonna be anyone who wakes me up to move me. I know that, but I still hope.

I woke up very calm. No regrets at all, no sadness either. I decided to buy some wood and other equipment to make a small house that I could live in.

All my money's gone, which means tomorrow I have to find a part-time job again. No papa, I've had enough rest. To shed all the tears made my heart happy.

I made a little house out of some wood and plywood. I made a house measuring 5 × 4 meters. For the bathroom I pay people to make it.

All my money is up. I sleep with hunger, but because on hooka Island I never eat 5 days so I'm used to it.

I don't have enough money to buy other furniture. I could only buy a mat that protected my body from the wood.

The neighbors actually collected donations for me but, I refused. I don't want to be pityed, I can still live without their money. I refused them gently, I said that I can still work alone there are still many other victims neighbors who need the donation more.

I slept quietly and soundly inside that 5 × 4 meter house. Even though this house is not the same for me.

The morning has arrived again. Yesterday, I was hoping to return to Hooka Island. Stupid people know that dreams are impossible to predict.

I went back to looking for a job. I cursed the clothes I just bought at the auction yesterday.

"Thank God I bought this shirt."

I thought back to when I was on Hooka Island, I only had two clothes. What a strange coincidence.

In the afternoon I just got a part-time job at the supermarket to keep up at night. I also accepted the job, although the risk is higher than working during the day however, if I refuse then I will return not to eat tomorrow.

All situations are safely under control until 3 am. There was a drunken man entering the supermarket. I watched him from afar until when he wanted to pay for his groceries, he accidentally touched my hand. I was harassed at the time.

"If you mess with me, I won't remain silent."

I confirmed it to the drunken fathers. However, he instead climbed up the cashier and pulled my hand. I who panicked suddenly remembered the movement of the master while training I also imitated it.

Then these fathers were in pain so they could not move. I tied him up with the vest I was wearing. After that, I reported the men to the police.

In the morning I was told to testify to the police. There were also families of these fathers there. They asked me to drop the charges, I didn't want to. They say that it is just a mistake that usually occurs when people are drunk.

They asked me to normalize a sexual abuse even though it was mild it was not true even if the one who did was drunk once.

I went home to take a shower after finishing all the police work. Then I went back to looking for a part-time job.When I was looking for a job I met Aiyis. I didn't tell him I had just lost my home. I don't want to be loved by him.

"Aileen, where are you going?"

"Find job."

"Would you not work in a library?"

"can."

After that I went to the library that Aiyis said.Thank God there do not need to be difficult conditions all important data I keep in the phone. So when the fire everything is still safe stored.

I'll do a probation for one week, if I've escaped then I'm officially working in that library. although all these things are new to me but I will study hard so that I can be officially accepted.

A week passed, I had become a permanent employee at this library while waiting for an interview call from the company. I spent some of my time in the library. Not only for work but I also try to love books. I am a person who gets bored when reading. After I worked in the library I started to enjoy reading books without getting bored.
