The For 1000 Years Longing

One By One

After Elvina was satisfied to tell her about her dream, Grandma returned to her hearty possession of Elvina. Then he told me about the story and the past of his granddaughter who he had been watching for 16 years.

"Elvina, I'm sorry Grandma" said Grandma with a tear hanging from her net.

"What's up, Grandma? Why is Grandma crying? Grandma didn't have to apologize to Vina. It was precisely Vina who should apologize to Grandma, because she could not be a good grandchild, had made Grandma worry like this," Elvina could not see her Grandmother shed tears, she said, his heart was so sad to see someone so loved that he was sad.

"No, Vina. The grandmother who should be apologizing. I'm sorry Grandma kept your real past a secret." Grandma began to tell the story of Elvina's past, from the first time she was found in front of the hut to the events that concerned her identity necklace.

Elvina who listened carefully was surprised to know the truth, even though she had previously realized that she did not have a father and mother. His feelings were mixed between happy and sad. Glad that he finally found out his true identity, maybe that way he could find out who his parents were. At once sad because the thing he had suspected before turned out to be the truth, which means there is a possibility he had to leave Grandma. Really dilemma.

At the end of the word, Grandma closed the story by showing the necklace that became the key to Elvina's identity. It turns out that it was kept under the mattress where Elvina slept. Although it's been a long time, the necklace is still beautiful as when it was discovered with Elvina 16 years ago.

Elvina, who had just seen him, was also fascinated by the beauty of the necklace. The savir-eyed necklace with the shape of a moon orchid flower was still covered in velvet cloth plated with red silk baby Elvina pedestal. Could he really be born into a noble family? These things look very expensive for Elvina who has been living a poor life.

Elvina did not want to appear flashy, so she kept the valuables back in place. Carefully, he wrapped the savir necklace in silk-coated velvet and placed it under his bed again.

Mentari had drowned in his contest, changing the moon crowned with thin fog. The door of the room was closed long enough. While Alfaroz faithfully waited in the living room, finally the door opened. The figure of Grandma who opened the door that was directly approached by Mr. Alfaroz, he was welcome to enter.

Alfaroz looked at Elvina's eyes which were fixed on him questioningly.

"I don't know. Can I ask this to you?"

"Ask me, Miss," replied Alfaroz.

"So where were you? How can you be here again? Know you? We're very worried about you, sir. You are our guest." asked Elvina

"Ekhem," Alfaroz opened his words by clearing his throat to melt the atmosphere, he felt awkward for leaving without saying goodbye. "I'm sorry, miss, for leaving without saying goodbye. There was an urgent mission I had to do. I got the call all of a sudden. I'm sorry, for my mission, I haven't been able to tell you yet" Alfaroz said.

"Already, Vina. Luckily, Mr. Alfaroz arrived on time. After you passed out, it suddenly rained heavily and stopped the fire. Then Mr. Alfaroz came to save us both and brought us back to the hut" Granny continued.

Elvina tried to believe Alfaroz's words. He tried to forgive Alfaroz, once he knew that his guest's attitude was impolite. To say goodbye is not possible? He just called us, didn't he? Our existence is not far from him. Yeah, busy with people who know. Elvina tries to calm her volatile ego demanding Alfaroz.

"Ummm... Grandma, Elvina, I want to ask permission. In order to carry out the task I was assigned, I had to go out every night and come back before dawn" Alfaroz again opened his voice.

"Please, Sir. It's your responsibility, we have no right to stop it. And you can also come back here whenever you want. The door of our house is always open to you, sir," said Grandma, softly.

At night, Alfaroz goes on a mission. In the afternoon, he returned to help Elvina and Grandma to the market and look for wood. It goes on for a few months. Some of the villagers started to get curious about Alfaroz. His charming figure and shabby clothes that did not match him, presented various topics of conversation in the village.

His closeness to Grandma and Elvina, brought rumors that the young master who had always been around Elvina was his fiancee who came from the city.

"Mrs Vee, look at the young master. His face was so handsome and dazzling, it was inappropriate for the shabby clothes he was wearing" said a housewife who saw Elvina and Alfaroz about to go to the market.

"Ouch... What Mrs Ghala said was right. Naturally, he lives together with Lady Zalijah and her granddaughter," replied Vee

"Listen from the other mothers, he said the young master was Elvina's fiancee who came from the city?" sahut Ghala's.

"Gee... It's just natural. Elvina was beautiful, she also often went to the market that was close to the city, maybe they met at that time. Perhaps that was also what made the girl not so close to the youths of this village," Vee began to guess.

Discussion of Elvina and Alfaroz several times had been heard by the concerned. Young Elvina sometimes blushed while listening to the conversation of the village mothers. But the other case with Alfaroz, he only showed his flat face. Moreover, during these past few months, Elvina and Alfaroz were getting closer. Alvaroz's attitude was increasingly visible, especially his meek attitude in front of Grandma and Elvina. Until sometimes his gentle attitude made Elvina misbehavior.

But on the other hand, there were also many expressions of Alfaroz that were getting harder for Elvina to articulate. There was a time when his expression was much different to his attitude, just like this moment. They had been close to the count for quite a while, but whenever Alfaroz heard talk related to his relationship with Elvina, he always put on a flat face without expression.

Am I the only one feeling this strange? The closer you get to Mr. Alfaroz, the more fear you accumulate. I'm afraid he's suddenly gone, probably because we're used to being helped by him. But it is only natural that we fear losing him. Because with the existence of Lord Alfaroz, the firewood we obtained could be more and Grandma did not need to carry the firewood herself anymore. On the other hand, I should have been self-conscious. He's not someone we deserve, we've only known him for a few months. He was a noble whose castle was far away from us, it would be selfish for us to ask him to continue to stay by our side. Such turmoil often comes to Elvina without permission, the ego that always overlaps with consciousness.

Tonight Elvina ponders back about Alfaroz's whereabouts. About his existence and status in this house, how then the two could meet for the first time, until then this close. How the two different castes met each other, even Alfaroz used to come to Elvina. About what exactly the mission Alfaroz, how he can help and help Elvina and Grandma. How could he adapt and eat potluck with them during his stay in that old hut. Too much that Elvina thought, raising other questions every time she remembered.Too long the memories that revolved in her memory, until her eyes closed and her eyes darkened. Elvina began to fall in love with her beautiful dreams.

Elsewhere that night, a commando was just put down. A very important mission has been laid out. A king who sits on his throne, reigns firmly and clearly. Someone in the corner of the room tried to wriggle and scream when he heard the command. Unfortunately both his hands were tied and his mouth was silenced. His body was battered and tortured, wounds from lashes adorned his sturdy back. Her tears were dripping again, not because of the pain on her body. But because guilt has been negligent in carrying out its duties. How could he be that weak? How do we reverse destiny? He can't just give up.
