RISE OF CHIMERA: The Beginning Of This Story
~PAST TIME THE KELAM~
One heavy day had passed, Yoki's feelings had also recovered, if shown from his expression. Of course, it was all thanks to Kenichi who had helped him as well as Gaia.
At the moment Yoki is wearing a school uniform with his feet walking leisurely by the side of the road. Today's goal is clear, want to go forge knowledge in school.
As usual, Yoki walked along the sidewalk to the stop, the atmosphere was no different than usual. But what makes this morning feel new is ....
"Yoki," a familiar greeting sounded in Yoki's ear.
Yoki turned his eyes across the street and saw the figure of a female student wearing a sailor-type uniform. The uniform is a school uniform at Yoki's school.
The disciple was none other than Gaia who was greeting him from across the street. When she saw Yoki returning his greeting by waving his hand, Gaia immediately walked across the road leading to Yoki's place on the other side.
Gaia's expression was like hinting at him that nothing happened yesterday. In fact, his attitude had suddenly changed from the one yesterday.
Seeing Gaia's attitude like that, Yoki just kept quiet. He admitted Gaia's willingness to be friends with him.
"Hi Gaia, good morning," Yoki replied to Gaia's greeting as she crossed the road.
"Yoki, would you like to go together?" gaia asked with her sweet face pleading with Yoki.
"E-emang we direct, so of course can hahaha ...."
Yoki had misfocused on the look on Gaia's face which today looks sweet according to him.
His tone still sounded friendly, with an unsaturated smile directed at Gaia.
"Oh yes hehehe ..," said Gaia grinningly as she stroked her head with one of her hands.
"Yes here," Yoki asked as he turned his body in the opposite direction.
Now, the look on Gaia's face revealed the happiness that was implied in her smile. Arriving at the bus stop, the two of them immediately boarded a passing bus and shortly after, they were escorted by the bus to school.
During the school break, Yoki and Gaia spend their time walking around the park.
Their steps seemed to go hand in hand, passing through the crowds of students who passed by around them. Without them realizing it, suddenly from behind came Kenichi who managed to surprise them both.
”Wah .. wah .. wah .. apparently after yesterday's incident you got closer yah hihihi ..”
”Ke-kenichi why are you here?” asked Yoki who was a little nervous when he saw Kenichi who had suddenly been nearby. While Gaia only greeted Kenichi with a smile on her face.
”And I told you that today I will explain everything to you,” replied Kenichi.
”Oh well, how could I forget,” Yoki said inwardly."So, why do you want to be our friend?” tanyanya continued the conversation.
”Because I feel that we are fateful and we can understand each other,” replied Kenichi.
”Fate,” Yoki becomes confused with Kenichi's explanation.
”Look, when I saw the news about the murder of a Meat Entrepreneur to a couple of Husband and Wife. I also saw you next to their bodies. You are the child who fainted and when I saw your situation, suddenly I remembered the events that have happened to me in the past,” explained Kenichi.
”What ... why does he know about this case, instead of me telling you to keep this incident to the public ?!” wonder Yoki in heart.
”I know you must be confused, actually not the police who tell, but my own eyes who saw the incident in the place of the case and when I saw you I felt like someone could understand my feelings. For that reason that makes me want to be friends with you, Yoki,” explained Kenichi who returned a confused look from Yoki's face.
To eliminate and clarify to Yoki the real reason, Kenichi also began to tell me, ”Alright let me more clearly will tell the incident to the two of you.”
Kenichi is the son of a Gatland fishmonger he is the only child of Kendo Gatland and Alena Gatland.
His life used to be very happy with his parents, because it was peaceful and peaceful. At first glance the story just sounds ordinary, the life of a person who arguably is because of his father's work. But that all changed one night.
While Kenichi was sleeping, he heard a noise coming from his parents' conversation. But, he ignored her and tried to go back to sleep.
It was not clear what her parents were talking about. But still, the sound was very disturbing for him to return to sleep.
After a while, his parents suddenly enter Kenichi's room. But, they do not know that at that time Kenichi had not fallen asleep. They only glimpsed at Kenichi's neatly closed eyes.
He was curious about what was happening and when Kenichi opened his eyes, he saw his father swinging his knife at him.
Kenichi's expression was indecisive, not knowing what to do. His mind was empty in a supine position with his head staring at his father.
Until suddenly, his mother approached and blocked Kenichi's body when he saw his son who woke up.
All actions cannot be withdrawn or repeated. It's all in the past when Kenichi's father's knife hits his wife's chest.
Blood came out, accompanying the stab of the husband's knife that had been stuck deep in his chest.
His mother's body fell backwards, into the lap of her son who was sculpting quietly in place. Kenichi's position has changed, he straightened his body with his legs still stretched out.
Little Kenichi didn't know what to choose and what to do. All the beauty of her life ended that night.
The joy, gratitude, and awe of his parents and life, had turned into a burning rage and grudge. That was the expression that Kenichi decided on.
His eyes stared intently at his father who suddenly sat quietly on the floor, as if he also felt guilty for his actions.
His father's hand trembled because of the result of an action. But, it's all too late. His son was now enveloped in murderous lust, vengeance and anger had blinded his eyes, covered in fresh blood soaked in a white T-shirt.
He picked up a knife that stuck in his mother's chest, with eyes that still locked his father. Slowly she released her mother from confession. Then put it on the bed.
Consciousness left from his mother, took the initiative to stop his son's actions by holding Kenichi's hand.
But it's all too late. Kenichi has changed completely from usual. Kenichi's mother's hand also could not hold Kenichi's hand firmly, because the life that was approaching death had made him weaker.
His father just stared stiffly at his son, as resigned to his actions. Without a fight and a shout, Kenichi's father receives every knife puncture Kenichi takes.
After his father was lifeless, with the tragic death of dozens of stabs and knives that stuck in the last stab. Kenichi went back to his mother.
”Force us well son now you have to live this burden alone, but you should know that we ...”
Not yet had Kenichi's mother finish her words, without the slightest warning suddenly his mother's body was no longer moving like a statue.
The heartbeat has stopped, and that means it's the final frontier of Kenichi's mother's life. Little Kenichi could only cry without being able to give his mother any help.
"After all these events, I began to train myself to become stronger. But unfortunately, I don't have anyone to protect anymore."
Kenichi, who had looked down, looked up at Yoki and Gaia, who were actually horrified when he heard the story.
The atmosphere still remained the same, with many disciples passing by without caring for the three of them.
"Until that moment, when I saw you I felt like I was looking at myself and I had something to protect again. That's my story and that's why I want to be friends with you ... Yoki.”
Yoki's daydreams were flying, his expression was still the same, like he had finished watching a horror movie.
”Means you killed your parents?”
”It's true that I killed my parents, but every murder has its own motive."
”Why is my body frightened after listening to the story that Kenichi just told earlier, what is this ?!” yoki lamented in his heart.
”I know if my past actions were really terrible but I have to be honest with you, I don't want anything else covered with you. So, can I be friends with you guys?”
”Alright, I am willing to make friends with you.”
The answer was forced to dispel his doubts earlier. However, Yoki thinks that he is the same fate as Kenichi and for that reason Yoki is trying to forget what Kenichi did. Although, the trace of fear is still clearly visible from the look.
"Yes me too, because yesterday you have been very meritorious to us" said Gaia, a sign of agreeing with Yoki's answer.
”Thank God, thank you for letting me be friends with you.”
Along with Kenichi's words, there was a school bell sign of the end of the break. Then deftly the three of them instantly dispersed themselves and returned to the classroom.
