A MENTARY WITHOUT EMOTION

A MENTARY WITHOUT EMOTION
Truth



My eye beads glow, the same color bounces into the color of my pupils, behind the windows that provide a beautiful panoramic view of nature.


"It's pretty, the color is also very pampering for the eyes, right?" exclaim Felix.


"Yes that's right."


The sea water that shines because of the reflection of the blue sky, and the birds chirping while flying migrated to a place.


We on the bus enjoyed the view. Unfortunately, we did not play to the port or the beach to see it more closely. This sunny morning was the last day of the tour, we had to return to the city of silhouettes. Silhouette city is the city where we live, the city whose residents are not too crowded just that the residents there are too serious and do not play in carrying something. If his dream fails and he is desperate, the silhouette city dwellers will lock himself in a room for approximately 6 months can even be more like 1 year, he said, it did not make sense but that was how the deep pain after the effort he had put in failed was futile.


It can even lead to suicide. And behind the unique and elegant beauty of his fashion, the silhouette city has something dark in it, the city that has the highest suicide and murder cases in the country is plagued by hatred and bullying in its neighborhood. Therefore, I must be wary of those around me and not make the same happen again.


The city of silhouettes was tight.


After we got to the train station, we waited for the train to come, I played my phone while waiting, before long I felt something bad, like someone was watching.


In silence, my eyes glanced around. Not long after, I found him, the one who was watching me! I've found him, he's...


PETER!


'Don't he don't know how to get on the train.'


Peter seemed to tell me to approach him by putting his hand out. It feels a bit troublesome.


"Sorry Mom, I'm going to the toilet for a while, yak" I said.


"Alright, don't be long."


I immediately rushed to Peter who was a bit far away, he tried to avoid other humans.


"What's wrong?" my many.


Peter gave me a paper that said,


'Why take the train? Didn't you just take the bus?'


"Sorry yes, it looks like the teachers have a sudden business so let us get on the train faster" I replied.


Looks like he's a little disappointed, what's riding on a bus as fun as that?


"Do you need help?"


Peter shook his head which meant he didn't need help.


"If there is nothing to talk about anymore, I come back yak," said I who should not be long separated from the tour troupe.


Peter agreed and nodded, and I walked quickly, hoping that the train would still not come.


I looked back to see if Peter was still there, as he usually disappeared quickly.


(Actually Peter has fused in Lucy's shadow and plans to get into the doll again.)


"I'm back, ma'am," I said.


"Good, soon the train will be here."


A few minutes later, the train arrived in front of us, I got into the carriage and looked for an empty seat.


At the unexpected moment I met Sarah and Niki, they waved at me. I'm approaching them right away.


"Let's sit down with us Lucy," Niki asked.


I joined them, but to my surprise, the one sitting next to me was Karin, who was the former head of the OSIS Royalty School.


I froze for a moment until he said.


"Wait let alone sit quickly, soon the train will leave," Karin said with an expression of judesnya.


"D-yes."


With my heart beating faster I sat next to it while holding my cold sweat.


"Usually you're with Snowy, where's Snowy?" ask Sarah.


"I can't be with him because his chair is full anyway he's sitting with Fanny so I can be a bit quiet" Karin replied.


"Oh so, thank God he sat with people he knew," said Sarah.


"Why with an unknown person?" ask Niki.


"He can't be silent and he will mutter terrible things, he can't stand people he doesn't know unless they try to be friends with him," karin replied because he had been friends with Snowy for a long time.


"So yak," muttered Niki.


The train left and drove us to the city of silhouettes.


On this trip I just hugged my doll while holding back the sleepiness. Karin, who realized that I wanted to sleep, grabbed my shoulder.


"If you feel sleepy, we can switch seats so you can lean on."


"Are you okay?" I just feel bad.


"It's okay."


Finally I swapped to sit by the window so I could lean against the wall of the carriage, while Niki and Sarah were already asleep leaning against each other.


If they fall asleep like that, it looks like they are close friends.


We finally arrived at the silhouette city station and this is where our tour ended.


After a very long day, I went home and cleaned myself up.


Then I hugged my favorite pillow. I feel comfortable when I'm on the bed like I don't want to be disturbed.


It's just...


Something's bothering me enough. That paper.


The paper that told me to go to the police station. I can't go there right now because I just got home from school, so I thought I'd go tomorrow.


'It's okay, right?'


'No need to rush to find out.'


'So let me take a break for today.'


Slowly my eye bags felt heavy, I could not resist this fatigue and I finally fell asleep.


'Klek.'


(Little offlamp.)


"MimPii indAah LuCy."


***


The next day... 'Kring! The crane!'


"What time is this?"


My hand reached the phone and turned off the alarm before I saw the 10:00 am that was bad luck to go to the police station.


Suddenly I woke up from my bed and got ready to take a shower to go to the police station.


"Geez, I have to hurry."


I tried to put on my shoes and lock the door. Before I run to the police station.


***


"Finally ha... Ha.. Until then," I'm trying to catch my breath. Before Alex showed up and surprised me so much that it made me fail to catch my breath.


"Hahaha sorry to surprise you, do you have to come here?" ask Alex.


Alex is a detective who works with the police, he has solved many difficult cases though.


"May I meet Mr. Baron?"


My request just changed Alex's personality 180° degrees to serious.


"Do you need to be with her? Not just anyone can meet her."


I gulped my saliva, but with confidence I replied, "there's something I want to ask her."


"Ask what?"


"About my family, so I hope Mr. Alex understands to bring me to meet Mr. Baron."


The detective was silent for a while and finally he said, "alright, come along


i'm."


'Thank God.'


"But on condition that you should be checked first and secondly I should watch what you are talking about even though your conversation is the privacy of the family, if there's no weirdness I won't spread it to the public."


I agreed to the terms and followed the rules.


I just want to know where my mom is and who killed my dad at the time, I want to know everything.


***


"Sir Baron does anyone want to see you?"


"Who?"


"Miss Lucy Aureista."


At that instant, a light shone from the eyes of a somewhat old man.


***


I waited for him behind the transparent barrier while sitting in the chair, with Alex behind me.


Then the left corner door opened and showed a pale man whose face was already a bit wrinkled.


I was surprised by his physical concern, he looked thin and dry, his skin was covered only by his bones.


"Mr Alex she's... "


"Yes, he's Mr. Baron."


"No way, why is his body so thin?"


"Sorry, He did not want to eat and kept thinking about his evil deeds in the past, we have told him to eat as much as possible but he did not eat his food and we had to force him to eat."


My heart was like it was scratched, so different that I met in the world of illusion. The baron sat down and looked at me and he smiled shortly afterwards.


"It's nice to see Miss again for so long, I'm really grateful Miss finally got out of the mansion."


"I'm sorry, for not visiting you for so long" I said in a soft tone.


"No problem, how can I help you Miss? I can't help as much as I used to because I will continue to be in prison for the rest of my life. I honestly don't want the lady to see me in this state" he said with a disappointed face.


'Somehow it's a little uncomfortable to ask this question in front of the police and detectives, but I have to follow the rules.'


I squeezed my skirt, I was a bit doubtful that this question would raise any suspicion, I glanced at Alex who was behind me.


It looked strange that he was not moving or breathing at all.


'What is this?'


I saw the policemen who were behind Mr. Baron, they unknowingly pecked at their respective positions.


I saw the wall clock, it didn't move at all, was time stopped?


Only me and Mr. Baron have not been hit by this stoppage time.


'LAanJuUTKaN sAaJaa.'


'That's Peter's voice!'


"What can I do for you, Miss?" ask Mr. Baron again.


"I just wanted to ask you about what happened at the theater. I want to know, who actually shot my father, I just remember that little black-haired kid who was holding a gun and shot the Criminals and my father?"


Mr. Baron seemed sad to remember his master who had died because of the incident with a firm answer.


"That's because of me, I shouldn't have given her a firearm."


"What's!? Give it to who?" my question surprised me.


"On the little boy."


"Why? Please explain."


"When your family goes to the theater, I can only watch you until the front door and can't get inside, so I wait outside the theater. Then a few hours later I heard that there was a criminal holding a rifle, so I rushed and kept watch for a firearm when in danger, I entered through the back door, and I went in, then I sneaked into the theater not until I lingered I met a lost little boy, he said he lost his parents, he said, I tried to persuade him to go out but he wouldn't be with his parents until we were caught by those who carried rifles and shot us who were running away."


The flashback


Mr. Baron and the little boy survived the pursuit of the Criminals.


"You okay? Is anyone hurt?" asked Mr. Baron while checking on the child's condition.


"No" answered the boy.


"Then, let's hurry to save them." The boy nodded and followed the Baron Master.


They entered the theater stage hiding, how shocked they saw people lying covered in blood on the floor.


"Don't cry, your parents may still be alive, let's look elsewhere" whispered Mr. Baron.


The boy complied and they went to the emergency exit.


When they left in the emergency exit hallway, someone accidentally saw us. "Some one escaped!"


The guy shot us, we tried to avoid. Damn, the boy stumbled, though,


"Revelation!"


Mr. Baron immediately protected her as a bullet hit her stomach and splattered with blood.


"Uncle, hang on!"


The baron lord closed his wound using his hand while enduring the pain.


"Hahaha, end your history!"


'Dore!'


"Aarrrargghh!!!"


'Bruk's.'


The child was shocked and frightened. Look at the person who was shot in front of him.


"Ha.. Ha.. Son."


"Well!.. Pa-pamans.. "


"It."


The boy was surprised to be given a gun by Mr. Baron. Mr. Baron seemed weakened and helpless.


"Go away.... Bring it when there's danger..."


"What about Uncle? I can't let Uncle be here."


"It's okay... Go awayl... I hope you can survive and I can save the Great Lord and Miss Lucy..."


The baron lord was already unconscious and left the boy alone.


"Miss Lucy..."


Inevitably he must leave Mr. Baron or he will meet the criminals.


"I'll get help as soon as Uncle!"


The boy ran non-stop, until he heard someone snapping.


"SILENCE!"


Instantly make the child hide before passing the corner.


'That's Lucy! I had to save her, ' thought the boy, the boy seemed to know Lucy, the girl he thought was a cheerful and clever girl.


'But I'm scared.'


His courage disappeared after seeing criminals who were threatening the victims. But he could not bear to see them scared like that. The boy was ready with his gun, he did not know if this gun could save them.


Something made him strengthen his resolve, the baron lord was expecting lucy to survive.


'Because of that... I'll save him.'


The boy came out and shot the criminal straight away but the criminal was still holding on making the boy pull the trigger a second time.


Unfortunately, his shot misses and kills a man whom Lucy thinks is a valuable person before being overtaken by a crumbling and bloodless criminal who dies along with his father Lucy.


'What am I doing? What am I doing!!!??'


The boy was shaking violently.


He had been misdirected, so he fled before Lucy realized his face was in the dark.


'Forgive me, please forgive Lucy, I'M SORRY! I KILLED YOUR FATHER, I AM A MURDERER, I AM A MURDERER!'


The boy cried until he came out of the emergency exit.


"There's a little boy coming out!"


How surprising it was when the Police saw the child carrying a firearm in his hand, the police immediately examined the child.


"I'M NOT A CRIMINAL, I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HUWAA!!" Her cries broke when the police officer approached her.


"Calm down, son, we're not going to arrest you, so take it easy yak" said the gentle policeman as he calmed the boy down.


"There was an uncle who helped me.. Hix.. Hiks, ia.. Exposed to a gunshot wound, please save him, Mr. Police!" say the child while crying.


"Well, well the police officers will check it out, so take it easy yak." The boy was taken into an ambulance to be pacified.


After he calmed down. The police officer asked what his name was. "What's your name?" ask the Police.


"My name?"


"Yes, your name."


"Hemm will I be taken to jail?"


"No... You won't be in jail, so just calm down and tell me your name," smiled the Police Officer, whose face looked friendly.


"Hair's red, there wasn't a red-haired visitor before, chief?" polwan asked the Captain.


"No, her hair was just stained with blood because it was red."


"So yak."


"Tell me your name's a sweet girl." persuaded the policeman.


Finally the boy opened his mouth and said his name.


"my name...Nikki.. Terielia."


***


"lik! There's no way it's Niki," I snapped that cut the story.


"That's right Miss." said Mr. Baron.


"So all this time... "


I didn't expect Niki to kill my father, I squeezed my head so hard that my hair became tangled.


'Why does my head feel so dizzy? Now I feel nauseous, Stop!


Stop hurting my head.'


Unexpectedly behind his cheerful face was he....


He's hiding his dark secret from me.


"Sorry Miss it's wrong I gave her a firearm. Miss must know that the boy accidentally shot him, remember he's a kid, he doesn't understand anything, please forgive him and please forgive me Miss Lucy, I was wrong," said Mr. Baron while crying.


I just kept quiet and just thought about what happened.


although the room is very quiet but very noisy. The noise in my head was really roaring to the heart.


I tried to calm myself down, trying to catch my breath and exhale.


"It is, however it is the past, that man always makes mistakes. Then what about Mom? Me and Mom weren't that safe, where was Mom?" My toot.


"Did you remember the last time you saw her?"


"I only remember one thing, when Dad died. Mom used to lock herself in her room, she doesn't look like the mother I know. I only remember a few plates and ceramics being thrown by him and he yelled cursing and laughing afterwards in the hope that it was just a dream and Dad was working out of town for a long time."


"What do you remember again Miss?"


"Mother said she wouldn't be gone long so I had to stay at the mansion until Mom got home... Hix... Hix.. "


Suddenly I was crying, considering that it was painful, the wound in this heart could not be explained, my cry cut my words.


"Mothers... He never returned to the mansion.. Hix.. Hix..


Whyyy?.. Hix.. Did mom abandon me?"


Mr. Baron immediately broke my words, however Mother will not come, mother made me have to be confined in the mansion for many years and live alone.


"That's not true at all Miss, she can't possibly do that."


"WHERE IS MOM!"


The baron lord was astonished, he was again reluctant to say so.


"TELL ME, MR. BARON! WHERE'S MOMMY?"


The baron lord seemed to furrow his brows, cold sweat flooding him. "Miss calm down first. I'll tell Miss, so calm down, " said Mr. Baron in a soft tone.


I have to be calm, I have to be calm, I have to be calm, however I have to be calm, hold on, I have to be calm, slowly, take a breath and then exhale. I should be able to feel the calm.


I NEED TO CALM DOWN


"Of course Mr Baron, please tell me where Mom is?"


"Miss... Miss sure you want to know about him?" asked Mr. Baron in a heavy and hoarse voice.


"Of course, Mom is the only one I have" I replied.


"Miss I don't know what to say..."


"But Miss must strongly accept reality."


"That he died by hanging himself."


"Hanging... The Self.. No. gabe... You can't hang yourself. That's impossible!"


The Baron Master was just silent while looking down. If that's true, I've lost the only one I have.


"WHY!? Why did you leave me like this... Hix.. Hix.. "


My tears were already unstoppable, my chest instantly became tight. I don't know what this feeling is?


Mixed feelings filled me.


I waited for years for my mother to come, but what did I get after the long wait? in the end, everything I was waiting for was in vain.


No one lives in this family. Just me, just me alone.


"Miss should be stoic and let her go yak" he added.


I feel like I've lost someone so many times. I have lost love and hope. I lost one of my happiness too. Everything was broken to pieces.


THEY ALL DISAPPEARED, NOTHING LEFT.


It also instantly shattered my heart that I had repaired a week ago.


Moreover, one of my best friends who has helped destroy someone I love. Someone as brave as my father. My father was my hero but everything I imagined was no longer there now. No. gabe. He caused my family to be destroyed and killed.


There were no smiles from them anymore. I miss their happiness from my life.


I've lost the love of my parents.


"Hiks... Hix... Hicks..."


"Miss... Calm down, I know it's hard, but Miss should be able to make their departure."


I wiped my tears and looked at this skinny man in front of me "Sorry I can't do anything to get you out of jail."


"It's okay, don't think about me.... I just want Miss to start a new life in this world."


And now that time was running back, it seemed they had nothing strange after time stopped.


"Thank you for answering my question. I can only send you food. Please, take care of your health, eat a lot, I want you to stay healthy."


"Well, thank you very much Miss Lucy. Unfortunately I can't reply to anything."


"It's okay, I want to say goodbye first."


"May Miss stay healthy in the course of the day."


" Yes thank you."


I walked out of the police station feeling so heavy. As soon as I saw the paper that said.


'Miss knows the truth, thanks for following my lead, Miss Lucy' - Peter.


Obviously I tore the paper into small pieces and threw it in the trash.


Then I continued my journey. My feet continue to move without direction.


And finally it ended up coming home, there was no good face today, there was only a feeling of emptiness that left me heartless, because I had no light in my eyes anymore. The room is dim again now.


'Shelf' (door slamming sound.)


"Goodbye to all."


....


"Is this story over?"
