MARY
20. Trying to Remember
"But now you can breathe a sigh of relief, right? Red and white has been hoisted everywhere, the song of your country has been sung freely, meaning you are free Suf,"
Said Maria anyway,
Joseph looked at Mary,
"really? Really?"
Joseph asked with eyes now changing,
"When is Miss? When do we get free? What date? What month? Year when? Who set this country free?"
Joseph asked as he grabbed Mary's arms and shook her like he was shaking a can of arisan,
"Don't Suf, you want to take my life out twice?"
Annoyed Maria, it is,
"Oh, maap Non, maap, I feel very happy to hear the word independence because,"
Said Joseph who did look very excited all of a sudden,
"I don't know what date, what month and what year, I never bought a calendar, my life ended in this house in 1942, and then I've been flailing like this for how many years now,"
Said Maria,
Joseph let go of his hands on Mary's arms, and turned to the corridor of Mr. Hubrecht's house of rest,
"What light is that?"
Mary asked in wonder,
"It's a light for us to go to immortality Miss, it's time I really go home,"
Lirih Yusuf then stood up,
"Eh Suf, what light is that? Who lights this bright light? Oh what is that? Why is there all this fog,"
Maria was busy coming,
Joseph walked on to the spot of such a bright light,
"Suf, back! Don't go there!"
Mary floated after Joseph, but strangely though he had drifted as fast as Superman, but Joseph was so far away that he was unattainable,
And then Joseph stopped and looked, Mary suddenly bounced back and fell,
He stared at Joseph who looked smiling with his face so thin,
"Miss, I've calmed down now, I've met you, and I already know Indonesia is independent, I don't have anything to do and I'm curious, I can already go Miss,"
"Suf, where are you going again? I thought you'd stay with me here!"
Mary looked very sad and disappointed, she had already expected to see Joseph come and was already a ghost as well,
Hoping that Joseph would accompany her through the days as a ghost haunts her family's resting house,
"Miss is still something that makes you curious, isn't it? That's why you're still in a bind, trying to figure out what you want to find out, what's going to calm you down,"
Said Joseph,
Mary seemed to start crying, tears mixed with a coconut grater, oh wrong, meaning mixed with blood seemed to flow on the face of Mary who was like a barbie doll,
"I'm going Miss Maria,"
Pamit Yusuf also, along with the beginning of the dim light that is very bright where he is now in the middle of it,
Joseph waved his hand at Mary who kept crying, this was certainly the first time Mary could really cry freely, she said,
He only realized that he was trapped in this world because there was a wedge in his heart,
But, the problem is that Maria is too bolot to realize what actually makes her unsettled,
Mary waved her hand back at Joseph with a very broken feeling because she really needed a friend but did not get it, either,
The light that Joseph was heading towards now finally disappeared with Joseph,
Maria was lonely again, everything was really very quiet, Mary curled up on the floor of her resting house,
Crying continues there, crying and crying, and crying,
Her tears that were so heartbreaking and sad without her noticing came out into the human realm, the sound of crying was heard infiltrating the cavities of the night and carried by the wind to the corners of the village which is now starting to be built not far from the resting house of the Dutch None,
Making many indigenous people who live in the village located at the top not far from the resting house was made a noise of women crying all night, he said,
And in an instant, the story of Mr. Hubrecht's very haunted retreat spread quickly, moreover, plus stories about village officials and prospective developers of Dutch heritage houses were disturbed ghosts have also been spread everywhere,
"I also want to be calm.I also want to be calm..."
Mary groaned sadly after a long time of crying,
Yeah, I don't know how long he cried actually, because consciously now he saw from the window slit looks like sunlight began to burst into the room, he said,
Mary rose from her curled position, her face filled with tears and blood, he then very excitedly finally decided to be alone for a long time so that he could reflect on what really made him bound, he said,
Maria, the ghost of the beautiful girl of the Dutch None floated towards the second floor of her resting house which if the day is just more humid and not much sunlight comes in because the windows there are tightly closed,
Maria appears to have slipped into one of the rooms on the second floor, alone there while trying to remember in earnest what happened before he and his family were slaughtered in this house.
