METANOIA, A Wonder Place

Episode 13's

            It was the last time Devina saw her daughter, and childhood friend, but instead, a secret world she and her daughter once had, now it is no longer a secret, and only Devina really knows what happened, and what was paid for.

            The villagers only knew it was a gift, which they got, and from then on, too, everyone tells a story that challenges how the fog wall collapsed, and mentions the name Devina, so that the place was named similar to him.

            That's how the drama tells, a life story of someone who dares to give up anything, for the sake of something he wants, even losing something more thirsty than he wants, but indeed we will not know it berhaga, until the loss.

            Lavi yawned loudly beside me, to make my concentration was up, “finally finished” said, his face looks very sleepy, I even doubt he listened to the end.

            After the drama actors came out of the stage, and saluted, I disbanded with the other audience, and, the story told in the drama felt very cliche, and that's how the story they told, to everyone from the past.

            The festival was closed with cheers for everyone, and colorful fireworks burst into the sky as a sign of joy, as well as a sign of the end of the festival.

            Uncle had been waiting for us in his car, it seemed like without me noticing, the uncle had gone to take grandfather, because his bedtime was near, that was the grandfather who was always scheduled, but

once grandfather is excited I might get tired of following him

            Beyond my expectations, the fireworks here last quite a long time, and are no less beautiful than in the city, even until we got to the front of Crimson Sreet the fireworks were still going on, and the cheers were still faint.

            Uncle drove us to the front of the house, we offered him to stay, but he refused, he said there should be someone to look after grandfather.

            I walked to my room, along with my other brothers, Lavi and Arie had been walking like zombies so sleepy, while Arya, she looked still full of energy.

            “You didn't sleep?” I asked with Arya, who suddenly stopped in front of a big box, right in front of the room, “maybe soon” said, while hauling the big box in.

            After I made sure that Arie entered the room, and was lying on the bed properly, I was able to return to the room quietly, as I passed through Arya's room, I was a little curious about what he was doing, and how his room looked like.

            I knock on the door of Arya's room, it's possible that she hasn't slept, before long Arya opens the door, and lets me in. I can say the room looks brighter, and beautiful compared to my room and Arie, the prabot is not much different, indeed, it's just that this one room is filled with sunflower paintings along the walls, such as flower fields, yellow paint on the flowers makes it look brighter and cheerful, on the painted ceiling and the bright blue sky complete with the crew, beautiful, this room is far from as gloomy as my room, “woow” is just that word I can use to express.

            “What are you doing?” Ask me while approaching, “do something you will not understand” explained casually, and smiled broadly at me, I could only smile back at him, she said, it's true I don't understand what he's doing right now.

            From behind the window of Arya's room, can be seen the forest is so dense and the shadow of the mountain behind it, the view here feels so wide.

            “What is this?” I found a miniature fox made of red wood, as I remember Arya was not too fond of the display, so I asked, “it has been here for a long time,” he replied while still glued to the laptop, but he was still glued to the screen, “Arie has taken some from him, maybe the remaining one is a door blocker or something like that” he replied continuing, it makes sense I thought, obviously Arie would take, this fox is very funny and the maker is very detailed, it's very detailed, like a good hand-made.

            After seeing this fox I just realized, on the sidelines of the sunflower painting there are also some red foxes who are hiding, and on the doorknob was engraved the head of a fox, and, even on his bed was engraved this red fox, it turned out that his room was not only filled with sunflowers, but foxes as well.

            Finished I looked around, and just ignored by Arya, I came out of her room, my eyes fixed on the creepy circular staircase, trying to stand as upright as possible at the end of the hallway, the stairs were even more creepy again with one lamp that only illuminates from above, so that the shadows look as big as they are, looks like Lavi was too lazy to install the lights in the entire corner of the room.

            I was too tired, and wanted to sleep, disappearing in the dreamland. Speaking of dreams, I was reminded of the dream last night, I clearly remembered the nightmare yesterday which was very scary, I knew it was just a sleeping flower, I knew it was just a sleeping flower, but I'm afraid the dream will repeat itself, and this time I really can't go out, yesterday I could wake up because I was lucky, but what if tonight wasn't.

            Thinking about it made me more frightened, so maybe with happy dongen will be carried into my sleep, and bring a beautiful dream.

            I picked up some books, which sounded fun, and were not too heavy to read, I brought them to my room, in the hope that one of these fairy tales can make me forget about yesterday's nightmare.

            In one of the books I took, in the middle of the page, tucked in a paper, which turned out to be a map, like a treasure map made by ana-anak, inside it was just a line I guessed as a picture of a street, and houses that represent a building site, maybe. I don't really understand it, there are numbers in it, it looks like an explanation of what the place is, but unfortunately the explanation of the number is not with the map.

            So all I got was a map of the children, the wall clock of my room rang and shocked me, the sound echoed through the room, faintly twitching to each other with the clock

in the other room, there were footsteps coming to my room.

            I quickly turn off the lights, and cover myself with a blanket, this is one of my father's habits, he will check us whether we are asleep or not, and if we are found not sleeping, it's been in the long lecture, Arya who most often hit, I'd bet he has memorized the contents of the lecture father.

            After the footsteps were heard down the stairs, then I could breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that there was also a good thing this crispy floor. I opened the childish map I found, maybe tomorrow I can explore around this house, and maybe go to the forest, if the weather is favorable, and not too cold to get out.
