My Love From The Sea
Shadow

The endless expanse of the jasmine garden only looked like a dark shadow under the scythe moonlight. Sagara stood in the doorway, watching Bhumi's back sitting behind him.

" Why has Wulan been so stingy lately, Sagara?" Bhumi muttered, his voice scatters like a person who drinks too much alcohol.

" Maybe he is hurt because you are disturbing people's lovers," Sagara replied originally. He walked slowly towards Bhumi, then sat down next to him.

" Are you seriously jealous?" Bhumi is not thinking about Sagara. At one time, Sagara was very loyal to one woman. The daughter of one of the most influential Muslim kings in Aceh. However, their love story is tragic. As Shakespeare wrote in his novel Romeo and Juliet. Dramatic and cheesy!

" What are you thinking?"

" I just thought that you still loved that abandoned princess."

Sagara gulps down your saliva. His chest was like being pierced by a dagger. So hurt. But, nevermind. That relationship has been going on for a long time. Although still very impregnated, but Sagara would not want to be willing. The past was so bitter and now Sagara has to swallow it, let his stomach digest and remove the residue.

" You know, I've read one of those unreserved love stories. Romeo and Juliet."

Sagara reviews a thin smile. He watches the moon shyly. He found out that Bhumi read such ludicrous works of legendary literature, "your reading is too melancholy."

Bhumi. Sagara only identifies without basis. For Bhumi, it was his way of having fun. Living in the human realm with a face and posture similar to those of famous people. Then, play around with the senseless woman who dedicates her life only to handsome men.

" Sagara, how did you conquer a woman's heart so quickly?"

Sagara is not the type of person who likes to laugh at the stupidity of others. But, hearing Bhumi's question made him unable to bear to laugh without making a sound. Sagara was replaced after Bhumi patted him on the shoulder very hard. Caused the ugly fingers of the ruler of the land.

" Never laugh at me" Bhumi warned.

" Be gentle, Bhumi. You're less romantic."

Bhumi glared in disbelief, "you're pretentious!"

" Wulan is positive. While you are negative. Opposite each other," Sagara actually wants to say that Wulan is a generous celestial angel and never leads man to sin. Bhumi prefers to mislead. Like white and black. Two beings of different vision and mission. It will certainly never unite.

Bhumi. Sagara doesn't even lock his mind, "you're wrong. You should remember that magnets attract each other when two different poles are close together."

" White and black, when mixed, will be gray. Grey is not a good color. You know that, right?"

Bhumi is just pensive. Looking up at the night sky that made his feelings throb, "if gray is not a good color, then what are you, Sagara? aren't you gray?"

I don't know why Sagara's feelings become so bad. Bhumi's right. Sagara is gray. Mixed black and white color. It can be misleading, it can lead to the right path. It all depends on human desires that often send sajen to the sea. He failed at his love at that time. Is it all because of his actions? because he's gray?

" Sagara, I see your boyfriend is white tends to be gray. You know what that means? be careful not to waste your feelings just for something that could hurt you again."

" Aren't the grays and greys compatible?"

Bhumi turned his head, not believing the stupidity of his friend. He wanted to stick Sagara's empty head, "it was a disaster. Magnets with the same poles will repel each other."

Bhumi shook his head, "i'm just curious."

" What makes a landlord curious?"

Bhumi did not want to answer. Let Belva tell you. At least he can buy time for Sagara to know his new weaknesses.

" You don't want to tell me?"

" You'll know soon enough. Your boyfriend knows more about her."

Bhumi's words made Sagara wonder. Is Bhumi planning something bad? It was not that the man often did bad things despite his excellent academic ability. At the age of a thousand years, Bhumi has won many titles with many pseudonyms. Sagara to the point of not being able to calculate how many degrees the man has while having fun in the human realm. As for him, just having some cool titles. Such as master of cultural sciences, political science, science and economics.

" Your sister's hair scares my boyfriend."

Bhumi wants to laugh. But, he's holding. Not wanting to disturb Belva who was soundly asleep. Because, human consciousness will trouble him.

" What do you really suspect about Belva, Bhumi?"

" You're stupid or you're pretending to be stupid. He recovered faster than a normal human. Are you not suspicious?"

Sagara was not suspicious at all. Belva is a clean-hearted woman. Or it could be, this was part of his father's plan.

" Ah yes. You are blind!" Bhumi sneered, "he'll be gone soon too" the man continued. He then stood up and walked away from Sagara who was still sitting.

" You don't make it up, Bhumi!" Sagara does not accept. He laid his body on the stage.

" I'm serious. Let's prove it!"

After all, Sagara could not ignore Bhumi's warning. The snake was twice its age. So, his experience was enough. But, for this time, Sagara only hopes that Belva will remain here. Be with him. Introduced to his father formally. Married officially. Living a happy home life. Have a funny kid. And... Sagara if Belva wants to, Sagara wants to draw his soul to the kingdom of the sea and live until the apocalypse happily.

" Sagara. I'm scared."

Sagara changed his position to sit, then turned his head. Belva is already standing in the doorway. Belva is not alone. There was another figure standing behind the woman. Sagara saw the shadow of his head wearing a head covering. But strangely, Sagara could not see the figure directly.

" Sagara," Belva walked over, as did the shadow.

Sagara regained his senses, and then stood up and checked behind the empty Belva. The shadow suddenly disappeared. Sagara pinched Belva hard enough, making the woman complain of pain and her eyes widened.

" Sagara, it hurts!"

Sagara breathed a sigh of relief. That woman is really Belva. He took Belva to the room. Accompanying the woman again closed her eyes. He really is Belva. Whose shadow did he see? Is that figure that makes Bhumi curious and reckless to bring Belva teleportation, even though he knows the risk is death?
