34. stories of the past
Rea looked at her father then glanced towards Haga who was indeed sitting next to him. Seeing the man's uncomfortable attitude, Haga began to realize that the question should not have been thrown out of her mouth.
"dm ... I saw a strange thing, Dad," said Rea and managed to attract the attention of two men nearby.
"What's so weird, honey? Want to tell Daddy?" habibi asked, trying to calm down as usual.
"Yesterday Rea saw a well closed. But strangely there's my name." Rea looked at the two men nearby. While the two men actually looked surprised to glare.
"What's? A well? And ... Your name is Re?!" asked Haga with a surprised expression. This made Rea curious. Especially from the response of her father, also Haga who looks strange to Rea. They look suspicious.
"Yes, you know, the reason?"
Haga was nervous. He arranged for Habibi who was currently also staring at him coldly. "Eum, no. Just ... Just surprised. How can it be like that, huh? So strange. Have you ever been to that forest? Not like that, huh?" Haga's question was like a trap to himself.
"The forest? Do you know where I went to the forest? Though Om only knew I was lost just now, right?"
Haga's heart was beating fast. He really felt fooled or even felt the most stupid person stuck with his own words.
He was in a fog when asked by Rea with a question that made him instantaneous. Haga glanced at Habibie, deliberately asking for help to be able to find the right answer for her daughter. It's just that even I Habibi is currently confused he also does not know what he has to say to Rea to explain the reason for the question. Habibie did not think about Haga's current confusion. Precisely what he was thinking was what he had to explain about the reason he was above an old well in the middle of the Borneo wilderness. There was only one final sentence that would definitely make Rea would not demand more answers.
"It was at most just an accident, Rea. Amanda Rea's name is not only owned by You, right?" habibie asked trying as calmly as possible.
"Any," said Rea looking suspiciously at his father and also his father's best friend.
" You mean what? What's so weird?"
"The reaction of father and also Om Haga looks strange. You guys shouldn't know the problem I'm facing there. But from the reaction of the two of you, as if to show that the two of you actually know everything. Om Haga doesn't really know I'm lost. Don't even know, did I go to Kalimantan yesterday? While dad. How did you know that the writing in the old well was Amanda Rea. I just told him my name was there but I didn't tell him my name. So what do you really know and what are you hiding from me?" ask Rea to investigate.
2 The men looked at each other. They were quite confused critically from Rea. Not that they didn't want to tell the truth, it was just that neither Haga nor Habibie knew where they should tell it all from.
It was a story of the past that was quite tragic and heartbreaking for the two men. They have promised not to bring it up, talk about it again or remember it. Of course, that can't happen. Especially when Habibie gave his daughter's name with the name of his best friend first.
Amanda Rea's. A name whose figure was greatly admired by the two men. As a friend and as a lover. Amanda's sacrifice used to be a very noble thing. He sacrificed his soul and body to save humanity. Pushing the demon Amon back into the pit of hell, while Amanda is forced into it because it is the only way to imprison Amon forever.
" father, answer my question," Pinta Rea gave an intimidating look.
" well, since you're asking this and since I can't lie to you anymore, I'll tell you a story about a girl named Amanda Rea."
" So really the name on that well is the person you know?" rea asked looking at the two men in turn.
Haga nodded without making any sound. Because now his mood has started to get bad. Every time she remembers Amanda all Smiles and her laughter will wear off instantly. Haga has accepted Amanda. Time has passed long enough. But Haga now will never forget Amanda. That is also the reason why Haga has never remarried at this time.
" Amanda Rea is the father's best friend and also the lover of Om Haga. This happened almost 30 years ago. He was confronted by a demon named Amon. Amon is after Amanda after an accident. Because the accident was tormented and trapped by another world besides ours. It turns out he was inside Amon's place. Amon was a dangerous demon, he was imprisoned in a place with a seal in such a way as not to be able to come out again. There is only one way to get out is to borrow a body from someone who has a pure soul. That person is Amanda Rea. Long story short Amanda was kidnapped by Amon and actually at that time also Hasya in the tragedy of captivity. Hasya was saved by his father and also Om Haga. But it turns out that the only person Amon is after is Amanda."
Rea could only remain silent as he continued to listen and listen to what his father was saying. He did not cut a single word due to his deep enough curiosity.
" the well you saw yesterday was the prison where Amon was. That's where the two of us and Amanda got into a fight with Amon. Amon is a pretty strong demon. Dad had a hard time dealing with it let alone the two of us were exhausted after browsing through the forest in search of the well."
" so dad and Om have been to that forest?"
"Yes. That's why Om can say it like that because and your dad was never there 30 years ago." Haga finally made a sound even though she had been trying to stay quiet.
" so Amanda sacrificed herself in order to imprison Amon to get into the well, father?"
"yes, that's right. Amanda sacrificed her soul and body to help us all. Because Manda knew that until Ambon escaped and came out of the shackles that had bound him all this time, then the life of mankind was in danger."
"it's very noble. Eum, so the reason you gave me Amanda Rea's name is because you remember her, is that it?"
"Yes, right. But that's not the main reason. Amanda Rea who I know is a strong woman, Hardcore, Independent, and also very noble heart. I hope that you too will be the one Amanda once was."
"Wait, Dad! I just remembered!"
" about what?"
" just yesterday when we were lost, I saw something strange. Above the well, there was a figure with a prayer of black wings. She kept looking at me even when I had her model seen her stay there as if she wanted to follow me on purpose."
"what? really true?"
"why indeed?"
