Girls of the Past

Everyone has memories from the past, both good and bad. Similarly, the figure that adorns the memory, call it a man or a girl. The subject and the objects within it greatly affect those memories. Maybe the past can be a stepping stone for people who experience it, or it can be a dark gloom and do not want to be remembered. Then the past can be a stabbing arrow or a boomerang that turns around, depending on the person who faces it.

A letter Hadad found beside the house was a mysterious letter that he did not know its origin. In it are only written words that read,

"Do you remember me……?

You used to be a quiet person and did not care about your surroundings…..

Now you've changed as time goes on…..

Don't you feel any awkwardness for one of your friends……

One of you may be someone……

What you have been looking for until now……..

But I won't tell you now…..

So you can understand how lonely I am…..

Waiting for your arrival later.….…."

For a moment Hadad thought about what the meaning of the series of writings in a letter. Only, he still did not think of the figure who had written this writing. Not to mention that this writing was made especially for him. For Hadad knew that there was a slightly insinuating passage to him. Although not directly, but the sentence seems to confirm that he knows the true purpose of Hadad. Until finally, Hadad decided to find out the author of this mysterious letter.

However, he had not yet moved from the side of the window, suddenly he saw strange footprints near his yard. The trail looks shiny and aquamarine in color. Hadad saw no one near his house, but the strange trail made its way to the mountain which was predicted to be a beautiful mountain in the past. The mountain is called Arashi. Curiosity made her move away from home and began to follow the strange trail. He hopes that the trail does not come from strange animals or monsters that are wandering, because he is worried if what he imagined it to happen. Armed with high curiosity, Hadad went to the road outside the main road. Slowly, Hadad moved away from the settlement. There's no one near him. And as far as the eye could see, Hadad could only see the tall grass. Surprisingly, the trace was hard to see by his eyes, the effect of the height of the grass that was parallel to his chest. And the more Hadad walked, the worse the field of travel and the less the road around him. In fact, the grass in each corner covered his gaze ahead, but the terrain he passed was very bad and began to muddy. Fortunately, Hadad prepared some basic magic spells to keep his footwear clean even through this muddy road. After a long time Hadad traversed the meadow, finally Hadad can arrive at a lake that is not too big but deep enough. With a surface area of 82,414 square kilometers, the lake is filled with bright, emerald-colored fresh water. Hadad thought that this lake was formed due to erosion or dissolving in limestone. In the previous world, humans called this lake the name of karst lake. The difference is, limestone here is more shiny and looks more expensive than limestone in the previous world. Seeing the beauty of the lake makes Hadad forget his original purpose to find mysterious footprints.

"It is rare to see a lake as beautiful as this" muttered Hadad while sitting casually next to the lake.

"Can't ya lake as beautiful as this never touched by someone at all?"

"Or maybe this lake is dangerous….? Ah, no way too, because here adem ayem aja."

"That's because you didn't realize it at all….." A mysterious voice that sounded out of nowhere.

"Who's that.….? Is anyone there……? If there is, answer me……?"

"Any, when I heard a woman's voice…..? Is that a ghost….."

"Yeah, yep-iya dong."

"APAAAAA.….?"

Hadad was surprised not to play, until he fell to the ground. His hair is goosebumps, his eyes are wide, and his face is not careless. He panicked and could not think clearly. Hadad is worried about his safety here. Hadad tried to run away from the situation, but one of his legs was gripped by a mysterious hand that came out of nowhere, so he fell back to the ground.

"Damn, why are my legs so heavy…..?"

"Where are you going, brother…..?"

"Who are you….? Why did you drag me here….? Are you maybe the ghost of the lake waiter, huh….?"

"Please pardon.… It seems like my sister was wrong….. This beautiful girl you call a ghost….. I don't think it out…."

"This voice.… I think I've heard this sound, but where is it…..?"

"Who hayo.….?"

"Pim poms.…. One hundred for brother…."

"Ah this right must be a lie, right….?"

"Lahhhh, still can't believe it either…..?"

"No, no. That's not the problem. The problem is I still can't see your figure here."

"Alright, then I will show you this beautiful figure of mine…."

"Geezer.…. Srassshhhh"

The lake water began to rise above ground level accompanied by a fairly strong ground shake. Slowly, the water gathered in front of Hadad. The collection of water transformed into the form of a girl, ranging from the bottom of the foot to the top of the head. All that water is united to create unparalleled harmony. And sure enough, this pool of lake water began to form in accordance with what was expected - a girl who Hadad had met for a long time since he moved into this fantasy world. One of the girls he loved the most with a sincerity that could not be denied anymore. Hadad slowly let out his tears as an expression of the feelings he had endured until now. He covered his face with both palms so as not to look crybaby in front of his loved ones.

"It's true…? It's not a dream, is it…?" ask Hadad.

"Not atuh, this offline meeting period is called a dream anyway," he replied.

"Sirlia, I'm sorry I. Didn't have time to tell you…"

"It's okay, brother, maybe it wasn't his destiny…"

"Yes, you're right…"

"Hehe... I think you miss me…?"

"Yes, what a miss…"

"Wihhh tumben nih said it pede, usually brother rarely answer kayak gini deh…"

"Ih, really Sirlia.. I'm here to change…"

"That's it, thank goodness. I thought you'd be moody to stay here."

"Yes, yes, it's not even weird dong will be…"

"Hehe, yes, too…."

"By the way, why do you know I'm here…? How did you get here…? Weren't you still in the study at the time…?"

"I know. Because I was also transferred here after your move. The portal that was currently appearing right before you suffered quite a terrible distortion of space. So the portal sucked a few things into it, including me."

"Can't it just happen to be like that…?"

"So, maybe it's like that story…."

"Then, why are you in this lake…?"

"That's because…"

"Son Hadad, where are you…? Are you here…?" a woman shouted from behind Hadad.

"That voice is not…"
