The sound of the phone ringing suddenly woke me up. I took it with half a drowsiness and attached it to the ear.
"Hello!"
📲[Hey, slackers! It's not up yet, is it?] edgar's voice teased across.
I'm aghast. Then get up and look at the wall clock that has pointed at the number nine past thirty minutes.
"Dgar! Oh my goodness .. I woke up bad luck!" my reply.
📲[I don't want to know. I'm in the hotel lobby. Quick down!]
"But I haven't had a shower!"
📲[I give you fifteen minutes! Hurry up before I get there! Kkkkkk] taunted Edgar with chuckling laughter before he disconnected the call.
"What's? Edgars. Edgars. Hello?"
Oh, goddamnit! This young man is so annoying! I quickly took a shower and grumbled in my heart. Last night I read to sleep. I don't know until what time it is so I can wake up. Without having time to dandan bag and insert cell phone and wallet carelessly. Then it quickly descends to the lobby.
"You're ten minutes late!" edgar said as he glanced at his watch.
"I didn't ask you to come all of a sudden" I blamed him.
Edgar just laughed seeing me so pouty.
"Come, Miss .... We have breakfast and then go for a walk!" bring him.
"Where?" my many.
"To museums and antique shops!" answer Edgar.
"You can't possibly look for Crystal in such a place, can you?!" I asked to make sure.
"I don't know. I'm trying, anywhere, any place, I'm gonna find and come!" edgar had no choice.
Well, even though he had visited several museums and antique shops still did not find the object. Not even a replica is in the museum. Features we know only from pictures only. Edgar went to look in a diamond shop, but still no one sold diamonds like that.
This day has been a long way to go here and there. Passing each road with a row of shops. Where to see there is an antique store we will stop by. While walking around by accident I saw a shop that was rather flashy and different from other stores. Gipsy Store. I stopped and pulled Edgar who was walking a step ahead of me.
"Do you believe in prophecy?" my many.
"No!" answer Edgar.
"There's nothing wrong with trying" I said, and I pulled Edgar into the Gipsy store.
The atmosphere in the store looks bright. With a lot of strange things hanging. There doesn't look like anyone. There was a room inside that was adorned with a thin half-open curtain.
"Hello! Excuse me .." I shouted.
"Come in!" answer the voice from behind the curtain.
Edgar and I followed the sound. We go inside. Behind the room with the curtains, a Gipsy woman with sparkling eyes was sitting behind her desk staring at us.
"Sit down!" tell it.
We both sat in front of him. While a glass ball lay on the table. Before I could say anything, the woman first opened her voice.
"You're in big trouble! You ...," the woman pointed at Edgar.
"You are facing death! And you ..," this woman is now pointing at me.
"You surrender yourself to death itself!"
"Whatchu mean? I don't get it. I haven't told you anything yet?" I asked the Gypsy woman.
But the Gipsy woman raised her palm. He gestured me to stop talking.
"You don't have to say anything. What you're looking for isn't here. And you don't need that. Go home to where you came from. Something you're looking for is right there! But ... If you keep insisting on your decision, you will face death!" the Gipsy woman said seriously.
"What did this woman say? I don't understand at all. Come on, let's just go! We don't have much time!" edgar stood up straight.
The woman just stared at our departure with a sharp look in her eyes.
"He said fortune-teller but his speech was not clear! Forecaster what the fuck?!" edgar grumbled so much out of the shop.
I was silent trying to understand what the Gipsy woman said. Does he know what we're really looking for? And it's not in this town? But in Losta?
"Don't tell me you're thinking about what the Gipsy woman said" Edgar said.
"Come, Edgar. I don't understand" I said.
"You don't have to understand, Riza! That woman must be making things up, I just don't know where she's talking. It's unclear. That's why I don't trust fortune tellers!" said Edgar.
"Then, where are we going?" I switched topics.
"I have no purpose anymore. How's yours?" Edgar asked back.
"Nothing either. Then just take me home! I want to finish the book I borrowed yesterday" I replied.
"OKAY. What time do you want me to pick you up tonight? You must want to go to Dixie Holly, right?" ask Edgar.
I was silent for a moment. Then flatly said.
"no need. I don't want to go there!"
"So, huh?! It's up to you to decide!" edgar said casually.
And today's journey is over. I'm back at the hotel. The book I borrowed yesterday. I only have four days to finish it.
Even though it was night I was still busy reading, until the ringing of the phone made me stop. Oh, Alex called. I lifted. Without further ado he attacked me with questions. He just found out that I was in Dixie Holly from Sienna. When he heard the news, he called me. I obviously couldn't have said my original purpose here so I said I was helping Edgar find something. Once he was sure what I said was true, he calmed down. And talk slower to me. We talked long enough. Maybe because it is rare to communicate so much can be told. He just stopped the phone when he heard me start yawning.
The night is getting late, although it has been evaporating many times it is still difficult to sleep. I took my diary, and wrote a few words in it.
┌──❀*̥˚──◌──────────◌──❀*̥˚─┐
...30 October 2013,...
...Night in Dixie Holly. It's the night I don't go to see him. After having a conversation last night. I wonder if I don't meet him there, will he come looking for me? It's not just a word of jealousy. Jealousy without feelings or statements, what does it mean?...
└◌───❀*̥˚───────────◌───❀*̥˚┘
...****************...
I've been in New Angeles for almost two weeks. How much did the hotel cost me, huh? Although there is no need to worry about this problem.
Today I'm going to move into a cheap apartment not far from the hotel where I'm staying. I found it while reading a cheap lodging ad in the newspaper. And Edgar will help me move later.
After completing the administrative costs at the hotel I also headed to the apartment I had booked before. Edgar looked dumbfounded as he looked at the condition of my new room. The living room is narrow, the bedroom is small, the kitchen is also small and there are no tv or other electronic items other than a mini refrigerator and a fan.
"Are you sure you'll stay here?" ask Edgar who's not even sure of my decision.
"of course! We are not staying here" I replied with a smile of satisfaction.
"You should have let me settle the administrative expenses at the hotel. That way you can rent a better apartment" Edgar said.
"I don't have no money! I just don't want to waste my parents' money" I said with a smile.
Edgar was in my new apartment all day. He also helped me clean up. And bought me lots of instant food and fruits. He said supplies in case he was hungry by midnight. I laughed. I never wake up in the middle of the night just to eat. Edgar had just returned home by evening. He's still asking me if I'm going to Dixie Holly. I said no. I just want to read a book.
After Edgar came home and after dinner. I continued with my reading yesterday. The story in this book is great. I know more about the history of this city. The story becomes even more interesting when it comes to the Legend of the Kingdom of Dixie. Roger used to tell me about this kingdom. I am getting excited about reading.
On the first page of this section is a picture of a kingdom. Then the next page tells about the success of King Lucent Dixie in ruling his kingdom. The image of King Lucent Dixie is also clearly displayed. Continuing on to the next few pages was a picture of King Dixie's family.
From the caption below is written King Lucent Dixie, Queen Maera Dixie and Prince Wallace Dixie.
Dixie Wallace? His name was exactly like the name Wallace and his face was similar, especially the color of his eyes.
I noticed in more detail the image of Prince Wallace Dixie, yes it is similar. Strange, is it possible that there are two different people who are so similar, huh?
While thinking so, there seems to be something that attracts more attention. Yes, the necklace that Queen Maera Dixie wears, it's Crystal Orlov!
Just like the picture Edgar showed at the time. I grew curious and continued reading to the next page. There is no other information about Crystal Orlov. After the Queen's death, King Edmund Darkoven had her. But before long King Edmund died and the Crystal disappeared to nowhere. And to this day it remains a mystery.
Another interesting fact. Although there is no evidence why Dixie Holly became a dead area left by its inhabitants, but in this book it is clear that the location of the Kingdom of Dixie was once in Dixie Holly. It is fitting that the name of the mansion and inn there is similar to the name of the royal family. I wonder if Dixie's palace has been destroyed replaced by a modern building? Because I don't see any remains of ancient palaces or ancient buildings that still stand there. This journey is getting interesting. It was like I was in a fairy tale.
It doesn't feel like it's almost midnight. Finished my reading too. Tomorrow I can return it to the library. Houmz .... I'm getting sleepy. Tired of sitting down this afternoon. I put my body on the bed, even though the mattress here is not as plump as in the hotel. Enough to make a good night's sleep.
