Pink Carf Girl

The drizzle still continued to descend, wailing in a curtain of falling water, enveloping and cooling the earth inflamed by the earth's rays the ferocious island of the gods, although no longer powerful enough to dispel the mighty white cloud cover. Blowing the symphony of grief carried by the wind in a cold veil, incising sorrow in the corners of the heart. Especially when he still saw it there, sitting alone with a face full of hope, jolted to see the figure of the man he thought came for him, only to be disappointed. It's heartless to see you there, stunned in silence, sucked into your own world.

"You still here?"

"I'm where it's none of your business!" answer the girl. The long curly hair that was gilded in gold at some point was slightly covered by the pink scarf she was wearing. His radish-colored legs, immediately folded tightly in his attempt to remove the face of the nosy young man. While the young man just smiled. His hands combed the short-cut hair, revealing a masculine charm of a face that exuded a bit of sadness. Slowly, the pace continued and entered the mini market where on the terrace, the pink scarf girl returned with her own activities.

......................

"That cigarette, a pack, Mas." asked Typhoon at the young man standing behind the counter, while it seemed, the cashier, was looking out. His gaze nyalang through the glass wall of the mini market located on the side of the provincial road. Even when he dropped a pack of cigarettes at the request of the Typhoon, he was still busy with his gaze, no matter what he saw.

"Anu, sorry, Bli. Who did Bli talk to outside?" the young man said at last. It seemed that he was no longer able to hold back the curiosity in his heart. He had met this young man several times now, and each time, he would stop there, talk a little and pass. It's just that, there is nothing but chairs and tables provided for visitors who want to sit enjoying the atmosphere of natural charm also this deity.

Typhoon turned his head and saw, the pink scarf girl was glancing at him before quickly turning her face back to the road. Then he smiled and shook his head. A glimmer of sadness appeared and filled his heart.

"Not really, Bli. Just looking and planning to sit down, but not so." he replied and passed, leaving the young cashier mini market in a feeling of dissatisfaction.

Yeah, if only once, Bli... This is how it is every time you come here!

Fortunately, this only came to the young man's mind, otherwise the Typhoon might laugh if it heard him.

......................

After deciding to stay, Typhoon actually planned to at a minimum, making the things that were bothering his heart disappear. The decision also included reorganizing the financial circumstances of various companies left behind by Kay's father. And because he did not really understand anything about the business and management of the company, the hard-hearted young man decided to learn it from a small but solid business, which has been run by several young people, so far, his age happened to be adrift not too far from them.

The first task he got was a survey of the location of the building that requested the provision of maintenance services of their outer wall building, and this is what brought him to this tourism center island, Bali.

After experiencing various difficulties at the airport, considering this was the first time he had boarded a plane, which involved various embarrassing events, the young man landed successfully and headed for the location. Fortunately, the taxi driver he was riding was quite informative, which saved him from the various hassles that might arise and occur in new-comers like himself.

Listening to the chatter of an eager taxi driver gives an explanation of the various areas passed through, although only a variety of "oh", "wow", and "wah" appear from his mouth, inevitably the spirit developed in his heart.

Exciting too, can be crawled for free. Fortunately not with Kay, if not can be fooled all-out me, said the Typhoon in his heart while unable to resist the grin. The beautiful face of the flight attendant who smiled understandably while calming him when there was a shock on the plane he was riding was still printed in his mind. He was screaming in fear when turbulence struck and shook the plane to the surprise of other passengers. In the end, the flight attendant came and calmed himself down accompanied by the upset look of other passengers.

"We're here, Bli. This place is built right in front of the Dreamland Beach area, the beach with the hottest weather here. Do I need to wait, because it's a little difficult to find transportation back to the airport if from here, Bli."

"Owh, yes Sir. If possible, I will be waiting for you sir. But if it's a long time, what's the papa, sir?"

"Safe, Bli. I give a special price deh, later all day I wait Bli also not papa." he replied happy. The trick to being a self-styled tour guide is always paying off.

Typhoon smiled, his mind still carried away many new things that he experienced today. Curiosity strengthened when the hope of various events that he might be able to experience. Although when his light steps were moved with his excited heart by the new experience, horror appeared and deflated the hope that developed in his heart.

I know it, it is surely too easy and too good to happen too smooth like this!, maki the young man in heart

The building standing in front of the Typhoon gave no other feeling but magnificent. The entrance is a stepped corridor with canopy supported by large poles on the left and right, while the pond is beautiful, with lotus flowers and a large koi fish lithe in it, flanking that entrance. Adding to its beauty, the fountain evokes a feeling of calm when combined with the sound of waves crashing onto the beach behind the magnificent building. It was just that, the pyramid-shaped building at the end of that entrance that actually caught his eye. The shape of the building is the same as what is in the picture Andini.

Damn, not excited yet. Trip on a plane for the first time, and the first time I visited this island, and I exactly ran to demon number 1!

Inevitably, various gestures and swearing gushed without being able to say when the young man pulled out his cellphone and called Kay, telling her the discovery of the annoying building figure. He does not have much confidence in what he might face if alone.

After making sure Kay would catch up with him, Typhoon sighed when all of a sudden, his legs became so heavy as to step up and continue his initial task at this place. The hard-hearted young man was quite daunted by the various possibilities that might occur. But how else, prospective service users have confirmed their meeting today. Trying to strengthen themselves, Typhoon stepped gallantly, although not too sure of himself.

......................

And at this time, it had been almost a week since he had first come to this island. Kay's promise to come soon was not realized because it was almost impossible to leave Andini alone, although the little girl did not mind. Kay had to hire people to look after the house and Andini for some time, which with the current condition of the house, really was not something easy. Not to mention, prospective service users agree with all terms and services proposed, which makes Typhoon forced to stay and wait for the team of workers to come.

It was in this waiting that Typhoon saw it. The long-haired girl, who at some point was emanated in gold, was sometimes covered in a pink scarf that she wore around her neck. The girl will stand up from time to time, if there is a male figure, which may be similar to someone she is waiting for from a chair in front of the mini market where she is always, she said, to sit back with disappointment on his face.

Actually maybe such a thing is not special, it's just that, after some time Typhoon saw it there, in conditions that never change, he realized what exactly the girl. Apparently, this girl was one of the entities Kay spelled out, a spirit that found no way to return to the Creator.

And unfortunately, after looking at it for some time, the curiosity of what happened and caused the girl to be restrained in this human realm, developed into a strong sense of compassion. Seeing his hopeful face, only to be disappointed again and again, made Typhoon's heart ache. The young man imagined how he would feel if the long-awaited figure, who could not even see him there despite whatever the girl did until it appeared...

If Kay were here, she would know what to do... Duh, Gusti, paringana kawelasan dateng sedaya jalma in donya

******* the inner Typhoon is loud in prayer that dissolves with the wind, hoping God is willing to make way for all beings who hope to return to Him. As the reluctant drizzle stopped, echoing her unspeakable pain and pity, the pink-scarfed girl...
