A Cold Frozen Hearts

A Cold Frozen Hearts
Eps. 2 Meeting



“Can you explain what really happened?” ask a reporter.


Police did not give an official statement on how the chronology of the killings took so many lives in the last 1.5 years.


Six months ago, since the end of the killings.


“Diana...” said the frightened woman.


The man wearing the hodie smiled sumrigai. Like hearing a name, at the end of death a person made him fill his life energy.


***


The atmosphere of the campus looks so crowded, a girl is being watched by several boys on campus. Yep! It wasn't the first time the girl had gotten a look from the men. It seemed like he was playing his cell phone, occasionally he sipped a drink that had been ordered from earlier.


Ddrp... Ddrr... Ddrr...


The voice of the phone vibrated behind his jacket pocket.


“You didn't forget today didn't you?” a message came into his phone.


The girl named Nayla Adelia majored in Psychology and only took two years for her to finish her S1 college. He plans to continue his S2 studies abroad. She is very popular among the college, with the nickname frozen girl because every man who expressed love for her is always rejected.


She is very beautiful but because of her cold attitude in rejecting all love confessions makes her look one eye. He doesn't even care what people say to him. To him, it was just a one-sided talk that did not affect his life.


Nayla is a famous novelist, in the world of Novelists she is known as Ghost Psycho because the script is famous for the genre of thiller and crime and no one knows her identity other than the editor himself.


“I have to find more extra money for two years' needs there. Do I work part-time while writing a new script?” his mumbling in the heart.


A message entered his phone again. Makes him so rushed to leave.


A modern cafe in combination with ancient classic design into a cafe. The atmosphere is not so crowded, but there are some visitors.


“Oh, Nay. Here..” a greeting to the girl from a woman of about 35thn.


“Oh editor,” greet Nayla while sitting on the front bench of the woman called the editor.


“What are you working on?” ask the woman.


“New script, almost done. Maybe I, will send it this week, then will continue the new script again,” replied Nayla.


“Good. I want you to sign a contract for your new script,” said the woman.


Without reading the contract, Nayla just signed the contract.


“Editor Lee, do you have any acquaintances who again need labor? If anything, I want to work part-time without hindering me in writing a new script,” asked Nayla.


“Why? Isn't a writer's salary enough for you?" ask Editor Lee.


“The money is not enough for my living expenses if I study abroad for two years, besides the salary so far to finance my sister and my mother,” said Nayla in a weakened tone.


“Alright, I will help you find a job,” editor Lee said while checking the contract signed by Nayla. “Nayla, we want you to make a change in your script this time,” Editor Lee said.


“For sure,” said Nayla in a dismissive tone.


“We want you to add a romantic element to your script this time," Editor Lee said, leaving Nayla stunned.


“No, I cannot mix romantic elements in my novel,” said Nayla defiantly. “I am a writer by the nickname Psycho Writer, Ghost Psycho what would they say if I wrote a romantic novel. Anyway, I won't write a romantic novel,” Nayla said in a slightly high tone.


Out of annoyance, Nayla leaves but her steps are stopped due to a sentence from the Editor.


“You cannot breach the contract,” said the Editor pointing to an agreement that Nayla could not refuse.


Irritated, Nayla followed what Editor Lee had said.


“Don't be too upset like that, we'll set a new record if you write a novel of a different genre than before. It will definitely sell well in the market and will be lyricized by major producers. It will, add your tuition later,” Editor Lee said.


“All right, see you later. I will think about how I can get an idea to write a new script,” said Nayla as she left Editor Lee.


“Aaa. Nayla's. You don't have to worry about work. You'll get a job if you're at your college later,” Editor Lee said with a smile


Nayla ruffled her hair, being so annoyed that everyone stared at her.


***


Table brown to emasan visible in a room space. Several books were seen on the table, and a laptop on the table. From the outside, Nayla brought a cup of coffee and she continued typing. Not to forget his beloved round glasses were plastered on his face. She became a geeky girl when she wrote the script, with an inexplicable personality.


Tak... Mats... Tak... Mats... Tak... Mats...


Delete... Delete... Delete...


Tak... Mats... Tak... Mats... Tak... Mats...


Delete... Delete... Delete...


It was frustrating to run out of ideas for the script.


Three years have passed since then, she doesn't want to write anything about love. Because he doesn't want to involve his feelings anymore.


“Aaaiiiss... Fucking editor. I don't know what kind of scene to make. Aaakkhh..” said Nayla as she ruffled her hair.


“Nay what's up? Why scream like that?” asked a woman while opening the door to Nayla's room.


“No-why, I was just dizzy thinking of something,” Nayla said with a smile.


“It's better to have breakfast first, today there is a lecture, right? Today Killer's lecturer came in, so we have to arrive in class before him. Can-can we get low grades and can repeat next semester!” said the girl who lives in the house with Nayla.


“I can relax a little, because it's my last semester,” said Nayla made her friend pursed her lips.


“Ah, he's an old man. But still he's a lecturer at Killer's age like that,” said the girl. “Aaaa.. annoying. But, his college eyes—must,” said friend Nayla while puffing her cheeks.


“Already. No need to worship, sin knows.” Nayla said with a small laugh. “Better to calm the mind, while looking for ideas,” said Nayla membatin.


“From him, the thing that frustrates me is the romantic thing,” Nayla said. “More muffling than the murder I did in the script,” Nalya said again.


***


A park by the river near the campus that is so rarely visited by students or the community because there are legendary animals waiting for the park. For Nayla the legendary animal is her best friend, because every time she feeds the animals.


"Eat a lot, and go for a walk. I want to be alone" said Nayla speaking to the animal she was eating.


With a limp face he thought of the idea for the script of his new novel.


Time passed, not feeling he was in the park for two hours thinking about his latest script idea.


“Aaaaa...” the sound of shouting is heard.


From a distance, a child was running around, while in front of him was seen a man walking. Just like Nayla, the man turned to look back— looking for the origin of the voice he heard.


Following the sound of screaming, and the child who was running he also ran. The animals are white with the floor chasing them—it is a legendary animal waiting for this park—White Birds, the two people running around.


The boy who was chasing Goose hid behind the man's body. Making the man increasingly chased by geese, Nayla laughed out loud when she saw the man choose to throw himself into the river because he did not find another way to escape.


The two parents of the child who was chasing him fell silent when they saw the man throw himself into the river, while Nayla laughed at the incident.


They were more astonished when I sent the swans away.


“Do you own the animal?” tanyakanya.


“No, they're wild animals around here. I just often give them food,” Nayla while holding back a laugh. “You'd better get out of there, in the river there's a crocodile,” Nayla said lying to make the man flushed out of the river while Nayla left the man.


A towel and clothes were seen on the park bench. Looks like Nayla gave the clothes to the man who was chasing the goose.


***


“Hei Psycho,” a voice calling.


Nayla looked towards her left-right, as well as behind her.


“You called me?” ask Nayla.


“Emang who else would I call if not you,” said the girl who called Nayla.


“You looking for a storm with me?” asked Nayla while putting on her cynical face. “Do you not remember if I could get you in the hospital? Do you want to be like before?” ask Nayla. “Try it, if you want to go back to the hospital with another fracture,” Nayla said as she whispered in the girl's ear.


The girl was only speechless when Nayla said the thing that made her so goosebumps.


No one knows for sure, what really happened at the time of entering college that made some new students expelled from campus.


A glimpse of Nayla's memory.


“Ayolah..” said someone as he grabbed Nayla's arm entering a house.


DEGH!


Blood splashed out, and splashed into the nearby wall.
