Ai, Love Me! Season 2; Willsh World

Chapter 13; Memory of Odessa

“hah? I'm a human kok” Johan replied.

“do you think your grandfather didn't consider any further when you had that symbol? can humans see spirits? Can an ordinary human contact a dead spirit? Can humans stop the rain? Does that make sense? No no?” the President's firm word.

“that's why you can communicate with Greisha. But you haven't communicated with Kruger at all. Try to communicate with him in the world of willsh. Because Kruger is guarding the world it” said the secretary.

“i'm a half-spirit human? Which is really?” shouted Johan.

“yaah sokan support was shocked, even though your abilities have been since before. You should have been surprised when you first dreamed with Greisha”, said the secretary.

“then, you should practice right now so that you can control your negative and positive emotions. You must also strengthen your relationship with Odessa”, Adam replied.

“linting tobacco and cloves, take the bark of the remaining trees belonging to Odessa and mix. Suck it once and put it next to you when you meditate. You will be easier to communicate with him without the need to spend so much energy because it is too concentrated” replied the vice chairman.

“hah how to do?” ask Johan.

“come here, it is time for you to train with the four of us replied the treasurer.

“I'll come, riana, you're with them all stay here” Adam replied.

“alah” riana replied.

“don't push yourself too hard, Johan” said Jehian.

“or else you die” replied Nyoman.

“huuss gabby ngitu” sahut Naomi.

“be careful, Johan” says Lia.

Johan simply responded nodding his head and then walked out, after they all came out of the room, all that was left was riana and all of Johan's friends.

“are you sure Johan can save Odessa?” ask Farel to riana.

“I don't know. What matters is the relationship between two people. I hope Johan is back in a full human figure, without the symbol back”, Riana replied.

“why?” ask Lia.

“even in this book, Johan's grandfather felt guilty for lowering the symbol to Johan. But Johan's grandfather never regretted because Johan's grandfather felt that Johan was better than him. Grandfather has given a heavy burden to Johan to make Johan deal with Greisha, with Kruger, with the world of willsh and to love a spirit” replied riana.

“so Johan's grandfather wants Johan back to be a regular human?” ask Farel.

“it can not be denied if being a half-human is indeed a burden on life. We have to deal with what should be out of our hands, even we have to think about things that are beyond human reason. Grandfather wants Johan to return to being a common man just like you, without thinking about spirits, without loving spirits, and without dealing with spirit” riana replied.

“true indeed. If you see how many times Johan risked his life just for the sake of spirit” said Lia.

“hence, I as a spirit do not want to part with Johan, but we as a spirit also think that being a human half spirit is more complicated and more burdensome than the task of the spirit itself. as a half-spirit human being, having no core duties, having freedom in doing anything but having great dependents. That's why I'm so sorry for a Johan being a half spirit” riana replied.

“mau after all this has been experienced by Johan, and Johan has also loved a spirit named Odessa. He will do everything he can to save Odessa. I hope that Johan and Odessa become whole human beings, without coming into contact with strange symbols and spirits again” Nyoman replied.

“the thing is continuous with what grandfather did. But in the past grandfather also had an inner conflict within himself.His brain was arguing with his heart. Grandpa feels confused”

“hah? confused what?” ask Lia.

“grandpa is confused to choose to be human or to be spirit” riana replied.

“why grandfather wants to be a spirit?” ask Lia.

“because with that grandfather can be with grandmother forever, immortal, without dying, as long as the territory of his guard is still healthy and still sustainable, they will be eternal. But unfortunately, grandma's territory is still clean but her soul is snatched away. It can not be returned again” replied riana.

“when Odessa is killed but the tree is still intact, then Odessa will not be returned again. what is it like?” ask Naomi.

“right once” reply riana.

“hopefully Johan's plan to save Odessa goes smoothly” Farel said.

“it looks like Johan will be in the world of willsh will be a little longer, more than three days” said riana.

“hah? why?” lia asked a little surprised.

“Johan certainly has the same inner conflicts as her grandfather. To choose between being a spirit or a human being. Johan is also a descendant of his grandfather who once sought to unite two goddesses who loved each other, between Greisha and Kruger. Certainly not only willsh visited by Johan, but the world with a very distant dimension that is the dimension of a goddess god involving humans who try to unite two goddess gods who conflict with each other. That's why I'm very confident that Johan is able to save Odessa, but I'm not sure I can save himself” riana replied.

“at least Johan departs along with four village elders who are indeed subordinates of Kruger himself” Callysta replied.

“hopefully Johan can go through all this” riana replied.

On the other hand, the village elders along with Johan and Adam also arrived in front of the remaining trees belonging to Odessa. Johan there pulled out his dagger, peeled off the bark of the tree and then rolled it along with the prepared cloves and tobacco.

“what have you ever smoked before?” ask the deputy.

“ever but stop” replied Johan.

“so you won't cough to suck this?” ask deputy.

“please not, depending on the type of tobacco selected” replied Johan.

“i have selected a slightly lighter and easier type of tobacco to suck. Now burn your carving” said the representative.

Johan burned his cigarette, smoked it and then exhaled the smoke. Johan's mind is filled with memories of Odessa, before the building of the hamlet, before Odessa meets Johan, before the forest burns, even when Odessa meets her grandfather.

“who are you?” ask Odessa.

“I am the leader of this village, do not be so was was like that, I am a lover of nature” replied the grandfather.

“why can you see me and I won't let you see me” said Odessa preparing a horse on both feet.

“hah!? a-you are!?” odessa was so surprised.

“iya, I am a half-spirit human being. Your tree is unique, hornbeam tree from ukraine but flowering sakura from japan” replied the grandfather.

“te-thanks” replied Odessa.

“have you been named by someone?” ask the grandfather.

“not” reply Odessa.

“for a while, I'll give you the name Odessa Ai, Odessa is the name of the fourth most populous city in the country of Ukraine where your tree grows, and Ai comes from the Japanese word love” replied the grandfather.

“Odessa Ai, nice name” replied Odessa.

“then take care of your tree. I see you are not so familiar with some of the tree spirits who guard the trees here. Either because of your distance a little further from them. But you also have to have a friend” said the grandfather.

“i just interacted with a human for the first time with you. I've been wrong about all the humans who want my tree cut down” said Odessa.

“just relax, there will be many humans who love your tree. I want to introduce you to my granddaughter, she just lost her birth mother, and she's depressed. I can feel it from here” said the grandfather.

“really? Too bad. if you know whose name?” ask Odessa.

“the name is Mahesa Johan” replied the grandfather.

Spontaneous Johan shook his head and then stroked his head forward, but all the memories from Odessa slowly began to enter Johan's mind again. Johan sees that the Odessa tree is attacked by a group of people.

“hey little girl, why are you here at night? your village is a little far from here, aren't you cold?” ask a chainsaw-carrying man over there.

“what are you going to do!?” shout Odessa.

“tree behind you that has super efficacy for treatment. Nowadays parties from various pharmaceutical companies need wood from your rare tree. If we can sell it, we will become billionaires in a moment” replied the man followed by the laughter of the three men beside him.

“this is my tree and I take care of it, you can't touch it” Odessa said.

“female basis freak. You're looking for your parents at home. You look cold, do you need warmth baby?” ask one of the flashlight-carrying men there.

“basis pervert, get out of here” shouted Odessa.

Spontaneous grandfather emerged from behind them all along with grandma. They both hit the four men with wood behind their necks and knocked the four of them unconscious.

“are you okay, Odessa?” ask the grandfather.

“grandpa? Thank you so much” replied Odessa running hugging the grandfather.

“dia who?” ask the grandmother.

“he's the spirit that guards this rare tree.I've promised to keep this tree.Well anyway, he's still small and the tree is still young” replied the grandfather.

“then let's learn to cook. Your grandmother is a very smart spirit cooking”, the grandmother told Odessa.

“good nek” reply Odessa.

The same thing happened again, after Johan shook his head, the memory of Odessa reappeared into Johan's brain. Tubes of Odessa memory enter Johan's brain.

“grandpa, where's granny?” odessa asked the grandfather who was crying and leaning against the wood of the Odessa tree.

“your grandmother was killed by villagers. Although your grandfather was already a spirit for saving your grandmother in the willsh world, but if your grandmother's soul is snatched away, grandfather is powerless. Grandfather can't save your grandmother anymore” replied the grandfather putting his head to both knees bent.

But Odessa saw from a distance, some people in all-white uniforms running to flush the houses and trees using gasoline. Then they threw matches and instantly tens or even hundreds of trees and houses burned down. Many victims were scattered as well as the many spirits that were burned in the tree.

“grandpa no burning trees and houses citizens!” shout Odessa.

“iya grandpa tau” said the grandfather.

“grandfather is the leader of the village, why do grandfather keep quiet. arrest them all cake!” shout Odessa.

“you can be silent or not!” the grandfather shouted as he slapped Odessa's left cheek.

Instantly Odessa fell silent next to grandfather. The grandfather looked with a full gaze and said “your grandfather told them to burn the whole village, but grandfather did not want to burn you. After this, your grandfather will rest. Think of the man who protects nature as the man who protects you. Because you are a kind spirit, Odessa” said the grandfather.

“kakek!? Where are you going!?” ask Odessa.

“grandfather wants to go home, grandfather wants to rest, send greetings grandfather to granddaughter grandfather” said the grandfather walked towards his house that burned down.

“grandpa! Grandpa's house is on fire! Don't go in the cake!” shout Odessa.

“love Ai then Odessa will love you” replied the grandfather as he walked into the house that was burning heavily.

“grandpa!” odessa shouted hysterically calling for the grandfather.

“riana, help grandpa! Call mom to rain!” odessa shouted towards the lake below.

“you think I'm a half-spirit human until I can call Greisha? Never mind, let the man who is full of negative emotions act. It was a human act itself.what was planted then it was harvested” replied riana.

Odessa could only cry, seeing that grandfather was inside her wood house that was burning. Slowly the fire began to approach and burn some trees around it. The spirits around him screamed in pain, the burning heat alive. Odessa saw a very terrible sight.

“a-what is it!? what happened?” ask Odessa

Odessa could only be silent, glaring unblinkingly, weeping silently, tears streaming down the ground below. Until the firefighters arrived, rescuing the body of the grandfather who had been burned in the house, and some police who helped bury the body of the grandfather in the tomb next to the village.

The last memory of Odessa made Johan shed his tears without his consciousness. Johan's body was shaken several times but there was no reaction at all. Johan's tears came out of the eyelids that were still closed.
