Pandora Jupiter
Marionette Unstretched
The finished pocket watch was reattached as it was before it was dismantled, lying on the table. When I wanted to take it, at that moment a man named Alberdo Grinza suddenly pulled my hand until my whole body was also carried away, he threw it without mercy, he threw it out without mercy, cornered myself to the wall without being able to twitch.
“Urgh..” I endured the pain in the back of my back as well as the once strong grip of my hand, raising my face to look at him with an expression of agony.
“Ha.ha.. What's the matter uncle Al?, I didn't think you would treat a girl harshly and corner her like this, ah, is this the effect of being drunk,I told you many times not to throw your life away by drinking. Don't tell me your mind is also overpowered by the lust to rape me, I'd rather die than give my body away, but of course I don't want to die. Therefore I will do something that uncle never imagined, but I will only do if there is no way anymore. Actually I could have screamed quite loudly, besides the small village, this place is still close to shops and other housing. I just want us to discuss with a cold head. Urghs.. Oh yes, my hand hurts so much, can you let go. Also your face is too close, your mouth stinks of alcohol uncle, I can't stand this, don't blame me, if I spit on your face it”. keep babbling to provoke him he did not flinch at me sharply right into my eyes.
“Kuh...argh.”.even stronger he hurt my left hand, can not he realize, the magnitude of 3 times, my hand can be crushed in this way. He drew his face closer by only a few centimeters, his countenance was clearly so wrathful with bulging eyes, and the veins that appeared from his skin, he said a warning.
“Never! Approaching! Pandoras!… Camden It!”.
As soon as my foot stepped on the floor, he finally let me go after it, my left wrist trembled incessantly I could not control, revealing red and stiff, numb. The pain of holding it I looked at him who turned around while holding his head like he was having a headache thinking about various things.
I know he's not a bad guy, but no one knows, things have unexpected possibilities, doubt is a way to find trust, I'm not that stupid as to not prepare for the risks that will occur. So from that moment when he grabbed my left hand and hit it with a wall, I tried to keep calming down, making him distract me by babbling things. At the same time actually my right hand has long since reached into the waist bag with a state of holding his revolver that I have kept since the beginning, Of course there is no intention to kill. Although I have no experience in using it, I am at least sure that I can injure it in a non-vital area and escape from here in case of the worst possibility.
But of course, from the whole scheme I imagined, I chose to believe him. To those whom the father considers his best friend.
“Uncle Al. Do you know why I was born in this world?”.
“So much, I don't care it”. he yells, really don't care about anything.
“Iya. Who cares, if I didn't exist I wouldn't change anything, but it still scares me all the time, I don't have anyone. Because there is an unforgivable sin I have committed as the daughter of Edale and Eleyna”.
“What do you mean by that sin?”.he sits slowly in a state of hands that continue to hold his head, blocking his face closed, looking up at the ceiling. I felt relieved, at least he would listen to what I was about to say.
“I forgot about it, everything about the two parents who took care of me in my childhood, about my siblings as well, Brother Cihaya. The more days, seconds after seconds passed, their faces blurry in my head, the fact that there was nothing I could remember from them, slowly and surely vanished from my life. All I have is the rest of the family picture taken in the picture, you know what I had in mind when I saw it. Are they really my parents? I lost the bond with the person who had the same blood as me, the family is currently empty. An empty doll that plays the character of a girl named Yupikha Siona, that's how I've been living life”.
“...” was silent without saying a word he turned to look at me, began to listen with a serious look on his face.
“I am frightened, agitated, worried, if this goes on I am just a toy doll that considers itself to be a creature of reason, where I am real and fake. Ignorance always makes me feel depressed, will lose my true identity, continue to feel alone in endless loneliness”.
“I want to keep the bond I have, I want to know everything that happened behind the deaths of my parents, the reason my brother left me here alone, why he didn't take me, pick me up with him. No matter how small it is, I always want to find something I can trust, memories with them that fade, that with that I have connected with them, have the bond”.
“But why do I know nothing about them, even if others tell me, everything they say is just a fairy tale, leaving my head empty without listening. I wanted to see it for myself, I wanted to understand it for myself with my own feelings, I was the one who judged it because I was part of them, I was their family. That is why I have made this my only reason to live, to associate their deaths with pandora, so that there is something I can do to look forward to tomorrow, for the sake of seeking that bond and forcing her to continue to bond with me, as mine”.
“...”. The silence after the end of all the chatter I spoke of, made the atmosphere feel awkward and dark, he just listened without refuting or cutting everything I said.
“Bring this up and go home!”.he points to a pocket watch on the table in front of him.
“Without thinking about unnecessary things, live for the future rather than being shackled in the past, having no memory of what happened in the past does not change you is a girl named Yupi who lives in this village, Princess of Edale and Eleyna, Sister of Cihaya, bound with Diane and Mika. for the villagers though always feel what it is happy because of your presence among them, making this dead village still worthy to stay here. You are too humble yourself, I also saw it this morning warm atmosphere because you were there the villagers gathered, I noticed you”.
“It... couldn't be”.
“Well, I don't care what you want to do, just think about the risks. You will only throw away the grace that is happening right now, you will leave everyone in the village who needs your presence, do you not understand for yourself what it is like to lose”.
“...”. I fell silent without being able to reply, but I still doubt it if everyone wants my whereabouts among them, because I only become a prankster all the time, a parasite that is always alone but forced not to want to be alone. How can I possibly bring happiness to others in my empty state.
“Listen, this is my last warning. Yupi's. Go back to your house, and be a good girl, I'm sure that's what Edale and Eleyna” expected.
“Good girl ya”. I kind of smile hearing it, chuckle, just a little funny somehow “Being good of course I'll work on..”, just a little laugh,
“But, when to be obedient. I can't seem to promise, I'm sorry”. I left a faint smile before leaving the room. Even though it was the hope of my parents though, was I really going to leave pandora on that grounds.
On the other hand Alberdo also laughed blandly considering his sidekick.
“Look, up what you instilled in her, now your daughter is growing into a troubled girl who can't be regulated at all with her crazy thoughts”.
“The doll is without a drive strap, has its own desires but considers itself hollow precisely because the rope that binds it is detached, all he needs is to meet someone who is able to teach him, he said, resuscitate it he is not just a marionette without threads, he is himself with feelings and reason that will lead in the search for the meaning of his life”.
“Same before your meeting with Eleyna ..”.
“Didn't he look like you...".
... Edale”
