Nurvati
Episode 24: Reality in Hope.
“... I regret not being able to recognize my mother correctly, I was too selfish for my adventures .. until I never knew it turned out ....” said Falas full of regrets.
And only careful listening can now be done Nurvati.
“... My mother simply advised, to always help people in my adventures, but ... since my mother's death, my dreams changed, I intend to become an Angel ...,” said Falas postponed the completion of his sentence, even his gaze still implied sadness that combined in rigidity.
”... yes, it was my mother's dream and I will continue her fight,“ he added full of steady faith, he said, even in completing his sentence his right hand was raised half-body with fingers clenched tightly creating an impression of determination.
Hearing that confident and firm sentence, Nurvati simply lowered her head in contemplation; her suicide vows began to look foolish and untrue. I don't know why that is.
When the wind was blowing strong, at that time, the two Elves were glued on the white grass in an atmosphere that still contained deep emotions.
But time comes into this reality, bringing Nurvati's feelings to the curiosity that has indeed vanished. All the explanations of Falas, Nurvati considers new facts from the life of his friend. While Falas now enjoy the air that invaded in and out of his nose, the memory or reason for his mother's death actually became a whip to be able to live more vigorously again.
Until that day passed, the fact about the address of the house of Falas and the fact of his family had made Nurvati's soul feel relieved, of course, thus, foundered already the conclusion about Falas present in Nurvati's life; there was no conspiracy between Falas and Princess Kerisia.
In that case, they still make friends and continue their adventures to several places, although from day to day they explore new places, Falas' promise to kill Nurvati has not run aground.
However, in the days that followed, Falas realized that Nurvati did not have any martial skills at all, it prompted Falas to teach Nurvati to be able to master the science of energy. So that in their adventure, do not forget also Nurvati studied with Falas. It was not as easy as one might think, but the unsaturated Falas helped Nurvati.
In a second that keeps turning, from the day that changes, and the moon that has now turned into a year. It had been over a year that they enjoyed the rest of the time in studying the fighting sciences, or in other words, had been their hundred years of friends ever since Falas vowed to Nurvati to kill him. And this year became the last year Nurvati lived. More than that. Today, is the day that pledge was paid off by Falas.
At present, considering Nurvati learned the science of fighting with Falas, in fact, none of the science that Nurvati managed to master, whether what makes Nurvati always failed, even Falas did not think before, even Falas did not think before, Falas was busy to bring Nurvati's mentality in order to have a life expectancy, so did not have time to find out the cause of Nurvati's failure.
Of course, Nurvati also did not bother about his failure, he was used to fail, so for him the most important thing is to know his identity first rather than studying martial arts. Who is Nurvati who is not at all like Peri in general.
And today, they —Falas and Nurvati— have been under snow trees, trees or places that Nurvati frequented, or rather, is where Falas' pledge to kill Nurvati. Right, this is where it'll all end.
Right now, they were standing facing each other, with the peaceful atmosphere that this place had always been present in, the air gently caressing their faces, the scorching daylight sun emanating, he said, the clouds appear rarely, the blue sky is blushing, a sunny day to be able to have fun, however, there is a feeling of tiredness that struggles with promises that must be kept.
While Falas still holds an important secret in his presence on Nurvati's life, and this is one of the secret parts of it.
So, from Falas' right hand formed a sword from his body's energy, then raised the sword, raised it to an inch beside Nurvati's neck, and Falas said, ”Set your mind, Nurvati.“
Nurvati's green netra reflexively rounded out, the sword would soon pay off Falas' promise, and death would be the most precious gift at the end of his life; the medicine of suffering.
The sharp blue iris of Falas grew sharper, although his countenance was flat but his aura implied solemnity in his promise, the grip on the sword hilt getting tighter along with the strong intent, his fingers, the grit, the gesture of his body even moved his breath describing the courage to kill Nurvati.
Seconds began to pass with the atmosphere that began to tense up, these were crucial moments for Falas especially Nurvati. Because promises are mandatory!
Nurvati's heart rate began to feel racing more intense, her breathing exhaled ready and unprepared, despair was still encircling Nurvati's heart, the glow of neutrals also described unpreparedness; Nurvati doubted.
But unfortunately, Falas did not want to take advantage of more time, he began to widen his right hand, making the sword give a long distance from Nurvati's neck, done in order to make a strong slash force, then Falas said, ”Goodbye, Nurvati.“
The three words managed to jolt Nurvati's heart, making both her hands slightly shudder; nurvati was terrified. Somehow the very thing he wanted from a long time ago even caused fear in his soul, but he was so sure to die of suicide, —mati in the hands of Falas— Nurvati's breath felt so heavy, too, but, inevitably, he was obliged to accept it, because it was a promise!
Seeing the fear implied by the radiance of the green iris of Nurvati, making Falas say, ”Remember the times when your loved ones died, remember when people hated you, Nurvati ... bring up that feeling of despair again, so that I can kill you quietly.“
The words of Falas aimed to eliminate Nurvati's fear, in hopes, Nurvati again gave up hope.
However, the fact that the words were unable to bring Nurvati's mind to her despair, somehow the sentence sounded so stupid. His heart was unable to achieve what Falas wanted, not knowing how, Nurvati's current feelings were not so desperate, in other words, her despair began to die out.
Nurvati's green netra was centered on Falas' blue netra, until Falas' smooth face was reflected on Nurvati's netra, Falas' face flat, unchanged. Even Nurvati had no desire to die anymore. Nurvati begins to lose her own desires by other desires, right, for some reason, there is a new desire that raises new hopes; a small desire to survive.
And when the time before the execution is done. The whole silence and peace broke out instantly, broke apart by Nurvati's clasping.
”WHY DID YOU GIVE ME HOPE? WHY?“ nurvati's jolt in her breath was billowing, and the net was glazed in agitation.
