Finding the Sacred Tree

New Family part 1

As before, we passed through the hallway after the passage to uncle tapoc's place, but this time there was something different. We also climbed the stairs to the second floor. The first floor and the second floor were very different.

If on the first floor there are a lot of rooms in each hallway, but not too much decoration in the hallway. While the second floor, on the contrary, there are only a few rooms, but filled with decorations that look luxurious and elegant.

The decorations on the second floor, such as vases with intricate motifs, human statues but small, cool swords and also there are various beautiful paintings.

Actually I'm very curious. Is it okay to let this luxury item put here without supervision, instead of these items are prone to be stolen when there are no people.

On this second floor there was no one passing by and passing by like the first floor. It's just me and Vivi walking together to Uncle Tapoc's place.

And that made a lot of questions in my head. At first I wanted to ask Vivi, but I didn't have time to talk. We've reached the room where uncle tapoc is waiting.

"We've arrived sir, please knock on the door before entering."

The door was not much different from the doors in the other room. Same size, same color, same motif. But somehow I felt something was different from that door and I didn't know what it was.

Unlike before if I was about to enter, it would definitely be opened by Vivi, but this time it was not. He told me to knock on the door myself, and also told me to open the door myself.

I initially hesitated to knock on the door for fear that something might happen when I touched it, but then I steadied my intention and knocked on it three times.

From inside the room came a soft voice and it was the voice of Uncle Tapoc.

"Who is that?"

"It's me Rakka, uncle."

"Come in."

After being allowed to enter, I turned the door and opened it. Like the doors before her there was no disturbing sound when I opened the door.

When it was fully open, there I saw a fairly large room. In the room there are many books neatly arranged on the bookshelf which is placed on the right and left side of the room.

In the sky of the room there was a decoration made of diamonds and in the middle of the decoration was a kind of glowing ball that I did not know what it was. The ball was like the sun, but not dazzling and not hot.

In the room there was also a circular window directly facing me. in the middle of that window there is a kind of motif that gives the beauty of that window and also does not detract from the function of that window.

In front of the window was a table and also a chair that might be made of oak. Actually, the table and chair can look luxurious and elegant if there is no stack of paper and books that are messy on the table.

At the table was someone who was looking serious about writing something on paper and of course it was uncle tapoc.

"Umm. uncle. What did uncle call me?"

"Wait a minute." He raised his finger to make me quiet,. But he was still focused on the paper he wrote.

"Oh.ok." I kept quiet, but I saw so many books on the shelf. I went to the book and tried to read it. Uncle Tapoc looks busy and probably will be a long time. Rather than silence, I read a book.

I closed the book and put it back in its place. I tried to find another book that had at least no numbers or formulas, but all the books I picked up must have contained numbers and formulas.

But there is one book that has no formulas or numbers and that book is a diary. I'm pretty sure this book belongs to uncle tapoc because there's no way uncle tapoc stole someone else's diary.

"The diary book has an uncle. There shouldn't be any more formula." I tried to open it a little, but then I closed it again and held back my intention to read it. Reading someone else's diary was disrespectful, let alone having someone who had just met like uncle tapoc.

"I'll give it back." I slowly returned the book to its place, but just touched the shelf.

"Or.maybe later." I picked up the book again and read it. Judging from his messy writing and also still ugly, maybe this is his childhood diary.

On the first page it says.

The day the moon is shaped.

As usual, I had fun with my family. We ate together, played together, and slept together because we only had one bed.

Actually sleeping like this is a bit uncomfortable, where we have to share the bed. The mattress was only for the base of the body to the head while our feet were on the cold floor.However, I am still happy because I am still with my family.

"Hmm.I can't believe that uncle tapoc has experienced this."

I turned the page and it was the same. So I kept turning the page until the writing was different and it was on page 15.

On the page it is written.

The day the moon begins to take the shape of a semicircle.

Tomorrow I will be a sister. My mother said I would have a brother. And it makes me happy because I can finally have a friend to play ball with later.

I'll teach her cool tricks when she's born, but my dad says it can't. He said I had to wait another 7 years for it. And honestly, it's been too long for me.

But even so I must remain patient and must welcome my sister tomorrow.

"Wait..Uncle tapoc has a sister? But where is he? How come I haven't met you?"

I turned the next page.

The day the moon becomes a semicircle.

Today I finally got a little sister, but strangely my father instead cried and slammed whatever was nearby. It scared me a little bit about my dad.

My sister already exists. She was being carried by one of the sisters, but my father did not look happy and angry while shedding tears.

My mother also looked strange, she kept falling asleep and never opened her eyes. I tried to wake her, but she didn't wake up.
