The Forgotten Sins
About True Shadow (Close)
When Arna had reached the front of the room, Reeko and Rezon were waving at her while observing the condition of the room with a mind that floated seven days ago. Where He continues to dwell in the health room to restore the condition of the body. The health room was obviously large and quite light, what about this dormitory?
He opened the door and the sound of a wooden door greeted him. The sound was different from in the city, it was much louder, perhaps because nervous or unfamiliar with the sound also made goosebumps. The room was dark and damp looking like a room in a horror movie, as her hands touched the light switch attached to the right of the door, a flickering sound rang out and the room was bathed in a dim light, blinked a few times, but soon normal again.
He circled his gaze around the room, apparently this place was not simple, even the bathroom was in the room. Mattresses, study tables, cabinets, hangers, all available with special sizes for one person, the location has been arranged in such a way. Actually there are only a few things that make this room look like in a horror film, namely thin window curtains that are blown by the wind and the lights are dim.
While continuing to observe the entire room, Arna swung a step towards the inside. His gaze was fixed on the closet, then without purpose He shifted the door, it turned out that in it had been several pairs of clothes, weapons and other personal equipment.
“Rupanya, Rezon is right.” Thought Arna.
He opened the thin curtain to close the window, the night sky looked bleak without the presence of stars and the moon, but the night animals were indifferent, they were still flying foraging around the tree branches. The cold wind blew increasingly strong penetrated all over the body, forcing him to immediately do the thing that had just been delayed. Clutching her own body, Arna turned to stare at the table, her jacket and two small books lying there.
Already familiar, that was the most important thing for him right now. His body moved from the mattress jumping down, it was behind him feeling. Arna's heart was turbulent writing her own story, as if all the good times with her family had not passed. Mother was in the front room reading a book with Brother Rabka, Father in the garden taking care of their plants, and he himself looked in amazement at the patience of Father's hand.
That book, the thing he got from Brother Rabka, his eleventh birthday present. But somehow he felt the main birthday gift was the explosion that destroyed Brother Rabka. By breathing out, he tried to release the bad memories that kept pressing to emerge. The book was held in his chest and then dropped into a mattress in the back.
“Seven days huh Brother?” his mumbling remembering today was a week he was away from the city.
By looking at the cover of the book, he can clearly remember his past, where every day is just playing and having fun with Kak Rabka or Gio, but that is exactly what he can remember now. His eyes revealed a window whose curtains were still open, again the view of the night reminded him of a word full of meaning that had been discussed together with his brother one night.
“Impian.” muttered.
The word was engraved in his mind that day, when they played in the river of the city hill until dusk. He chuckled remembering Rabka's expression when he did not expect to be pushed into the river or when his shoes were swept away by the current, also his brother's carefree laugh as he tripped over a rock and a fish landed on his head after he mocked Brother Rabka. On the exact night of the night, they chatted late about their dreams. Arna submerged herself into memory, as if the incident had happened again. The sound of their night chatter was clearly heard in his ears.
“Kak..” He called his brother for fear of being left asleep.
“Hmm...” Replied Brother Rabka still with his eyes closed.
“If it's big you want to be what?” Follow what is on his mind.
“Now, perhaps.I will become an expert in all kinds of martial arts. Then, I will win tournaments and championships in the city, then..to the whole world.” Replied Brother Rabka who immediately took his question seriously by imagining the dream until his eyes opened again.
He laughed a little at the thought of his brother who crossed the line and also because his success disrupted the sleep of Brother Rabka.
“Hey.., you are this!!! Don't laugh, it's just an ideal.” Brother Rabka cried with a sour face.
He was serious about his dreams.
“Iya,Yes..!!” The answer is not to ask his brother to last long.
“Hmm..., What about you?” Ask Brother Rabka while looking into his eyes.
At that moment his memory was also dissolved, his mind was immediately fixed on the question Kak Rabka who had not been answered by him.
“What are my ideals?”
And his mind drifted in another direction. He recalled the market bombing incident that required him to watch the funeral of his own brother who had not even had time to achieve the ideals that had made him jealous.
“Kak...Are you not disappointed?” Arna asked quietly even though she knew no one would answer her.
After all, those words were only an impingement of his growing heartache.
“I will become an expert in all kinds of martial arts. Then, I will win tournaments and championships in the city, then...to the whole world!!!” The words of Brother Rabka ring in his ear.
“I am where you should be sleeping on this bed while preparing to step up to reach your high ideals. Here you will learn to do what you admire, martial arts. This is the center, the organization that does train the strength to carry out its goals. In this way, you must have won in all the world tournaments because you have fought more than anyone else. With that spirit you can definitely prevent the Viper Army from carrying out its terror. You can prevent others from feeling the same pain that I feel Brother.” Arna muttered as if expressing feelings to her Brother.
“Why don't you live??? Why should I??” Arna's heart roared like a wild lion.
“Why should your dreams be in vain??? why should it be a memory??! Why.?” Thousands of question words appeared in his mind as if released could penetrate the sky.
A few seconds after that Arna realized something.
“Not, not You! You are not here, you are no more!” Arna sat tightly clutched both knees on her chest. “But me!” Without changing position, he pressed his head with a book cover.
He repeated his words, this time deliberately He revealed to the shadow of Brother Rabka .
“I am where I should be, preparing to step up to reach high ideals. Here I will learn to do what you admire, martial arts. This is the center, the organization that does train the strength to carry out its goals. In this way, I can definitely prevent the Viper Army from doing its terror because I will fight beyond others. With that, I can prevent others from feeling the same pain that I feel Brother..” Arna spoke with complete confidence from within.
Everything within him as it was awakened, grew stronger and a feeling of excitement filled the cavities in his heart and soul that were empty and filled with shock. That's confidence.
“I'm not just a city boy who can't do anything. I am the one who will represent the victims who have died because of your deeds. Me, Arnawa!” His mind, mind and body simultaneously called out the sentence with a sharp grin decorating his face.
Just as his belief was raised, the black cloud that covered the beauty of the sky shifted, so that the full moon seemed bright and the stars blinked again. When its rays hit the ground of the western hill range, the wind blew for a moment, shaking the branches of the forest tree, as well as the barking of dogs and the cry of night birds echoed, stirring up the whole nature to make a sound. All tempestuous corners welcome the awakening of the soul of a little child who only lives a day and has no advantages whatsoever.
