At night, the breezes clash with the waves coming from the middle of the ocean. Hit a pile of rocks and sand that faithfully received the thump of a rushing water wave. Seen a man down the beach with his shabby appearance, occasionally he ruffled his hair rough.
“Aaarrrgghhh ..!”
He drank the liquor he had in his hand. The longer his consciousness began to fade, he lay on top of a sand dune. For the umpteenth time the sea water greeted
his body is weak. No matter if he had to drown in that vast ocean.
Within seconds his eyes began to shut, he dreamed of being hugged by a very beautiful woman like an angel. From the woman's body also smelled the scent of lilies that are so
calming him down, all the thoughts in his head seemed to disappear instantly. Calvin enjoyed a very comfortable and quiet long sleep.
Dawn began to crawl up in a dazzling light, with heavy eyelids, Calvin
slowly open the brown netra. He is still trying to realize half his life that has not returned completely due to drunkenness.
“What is this?” Calvin was surprised to see a small object in his grasp.
Where did I get it, and why am I in my room? Who's taking me home? muttered
in heart.
He looked at the strange thing in his hand. A very beautiful and sparkling pendant, shaped like a water droplet.
The opal pendant was grayish-black and had blue and red spots like a blazing flame within it. Calvin was very confused and tried to remember the events of last night, when he remembered
the last time he was drunk on the beach, but suddenly the next morning he was already in his room.
“Hei! Whoareyou? Why is it in my room?!” Calvin glared at the beautiful woman in front of him. He just wears
a plain white cloth, wrapped around the chest until dangling
to floor.
“You're up?” ask the woman in a soft tone.
“What are you doing in my room?!” Calvin
scrunched his forehead.
The woman's skin was very white, her eyes were bluish gleaming, her smile was also very sweet. He walked towards Calvin who was leaning on the head of the bed.
“Thank you for saving me.” The mysterious woman stroked Calvin's cheek to make him
lulled, the touch was so soft and washed away.
Calvin flinched and shook the woman's hand. His eyes were full of question marks. Strange, that's how it felt since waking up. Yes, Calvin is currently very confused because many events do not make sense.
“Saving you ... What have I done?! Better get your clothes on! You were alone with a man in the room. Don't regret if I pounce on you,” Calvin said threateningly.
“I only have this cloth to cover my body,”
a woman named Zhivanna.
“I dwell in the locket you hold,” the woman bright with a faint smile.
“Hahahaha .. You are so funny!” Calvin laughed at his explanation. He did not believe his confession, to him this was very unreasonable. Is this woman crazy?
“Us up if you don't believe it, but that's the truth. From now on I am yours, I will do whatever you want as long as I can always be in
beside you.”
“Who do you want to arrange me?! I don't know you either. So, go! I don't like any strangers in my room!” calvin with an emotional face.
“I won't go Calvin, you already took me, so you have to take responsibility for me!” she screamed at the woman standing in front of Calvin.
“How do you know my name?! while I was alone
haven't introduced yourself!” Calvin furrowed his brows.
“I know all about you. Even I also know, at this time you are frustrated because of a woman,” he explained while gently stroking Calvin's cheek.
“Stop! Don't keep touching me!” Calvin brushed off the foreign woman's hand.
“Alright, I'll try to be nice to you, as long as you don't do anything weird. What's your name?!” Calvin snorted trying to normalize his still confused mind.
“My name is Zhivanna, you can call me Zhi,” she replied
with such a sweet smile.
Zhivanna was born in a magical land called Luchania. He was cursed by magic since he was fifteen years old. It was because her parents rejected the proposal of a man who wanted to make her the queen. Zhivanna who was in a pendant was sent to the human world by her parents to avoid the prince.
His goal during this time was to find a true love that really sincerely loved him. If one day the love that he
find not to love her sincerely, then Zhivanna will return into the pendant. The sea will sink her again until a new love comes to her.
Finding a man who truly loves him is not easy. Zhivanna always expected love
sincere from the man who found her. However, when Zhi came out of her opal pendant, they were frightened and ran away.
Zhivanna knew all about Calvin, because she could read people's minds while concentrating,
but it is hard to guess the heart of man. The reaction of the curse will be seen once a man finds his opal pendant. Zhivanna will come out and be like a human being.
Half an hour later, Calvin was tidy in his casual clothes.
"Now you wear the clothes that were there first. I only have this shirt and pants, we go to the shopping center," Calvin said, handing over his clothes.
Slowly, Calvin was able to accept Zhivanna's existence.
“How? Am I fit to wear this?” Zhi showed off her appearance that looked simple yet very sexy.
Calvin stared at him unblinking, his eyes focused from top to bottom obscuring Zhi's near-perfect body.
“Come, we're leaving!” Zhivanna snatched Calvin's arm with vigor.
In a shopping center, Calvin and Zhi look very familiar, Zhi is so excited to choose clothes. About an hour around, they finally have a lot of groceries.
They headed to a restaurant for lunch. The man begins to get comfortable with Zhi, his behavior always keeps him entertained and forgets for a moment the heartache
brought by his ex-girlfriend.
