The Forgotten Sins

The Forgotten Sins
Fretted



The summoned Axton sister turned her head with a look of wonder as well as Arna and Reeko, but Rezon did not immediately continue his sentence. For a long time they were silent to let the void of atmosphere filled with shadows of events that were quite tense this afternoon.


“I..” All sharpened their ears and minds as if it were something involving life.


Rezon exhaled and his body tremors were very clear, no matter how heavy he was going to say. Meanwhile, Axton noticed the face of his sister who looked burdened with a look full of regret but equally incomprehensible. They are the same, both confined in the ups and downs of a wave of suffocating feelings and unable to express themselves. Arna glanced at his three friends once again, now Reeko was just silent while his hands continued to treat the wounds of Axton, while Rezon was still glued in place, while Rezon was still glued to his place, and Mr. Axton himself threw his face against them as if avoiding something.


While exhaling a long breath He turned his gaze to ease the turmoil of the heart. Too bad the hallway was quiet, so there was nothing that could comfort him, even more felt like the entire occupants disappeared and only left gloom on the walls of the building, he said, it looks like this building is also dissolving itself in the atmosphere. In contrast to the sun that even splashes excess heat on the surface of the earth, coupled with the heat of the atmosphere of their day this forest looks more like a vast desert.


“I'm sorry.” Rezon broke the mood.


Axton turned his head with a surprised expression, but was soon able to control himself and stroked his sister's hair.


“No need to apologize,” her cold eyes exude affection that makes others feel comfortable nearby.


Rezon biting his lips held in anger while both his hands trembled violently.


“Rezon...” Call Arna hinting so that Rezon does not lose control of him.


“You're bleeding and I'm not wrong??”


“Rez.!” Reeko.


“I can't protect myself, can only rely on others. You won't understand, because you're a great man! You will never lose. But I, because I. because..” Brother Axton put his index finger in front of his sister's mouth who immediately fell silent then clenched Rezon drowned him into the arms.


Arna and Reeko were stunned to see the chain of events of the two sisters in front of them. At first Arna was already surprised because of the words issued by Rezon, but then more gaping again because of the actions of Kak Axton on his sister. It turned out that the outburst of anger Rezon was successfully muted with the affection of his brother who always he was proud and charming, Arna did not expect Axton who was called the coldest senior to do it to calm his sister. Not inappropriate or anything like that, that's exactly the right thing to do, but who would have thought that doing it is Axton's own sister. 


“Rezon's price to him.” Thought Arna while the pain felt back inside her chest.


“Like you to me.” He forced a smile to comfort his friends and to cover his own heart.

The night felt long because his curiosity had not paid off, now he sat himself looking out the window of his dormitory that was getting darker without the presence of the sun. It had been two weeks since the incident of his fight with Kak Gan, it meant that one month and a half he had joined the True Shadow organization. Although his strength and agility have equaled that of the other members, what he is now thinking about is the origin of the matter two weeks ago.


At least what he knows is, Kak Gan is a heavy rival of Kak Axton in addition to Kak Olio, he is a silver medalist True Shadow tournament held every two years. But their relationship is very different from the relationship of Kak Olio and Kak Axton, they are both like a mortal enemy who hates each other. But Arna has not yet managed to get an answer about the reason for the growth of hatred between them.


He let out a long sigh for the umpteenth time, his eyes fixed on the scene outside the bedroom window. But before long thirst attacked his throat, because lazy to get out of bed, Arna tried to reach the glass on the table. But he accidentally nudged a book, with a lightning-fast motion Arna grabbed the book as if there was no land below. The book has been in his hands a light blue cover, visible from the model it is a new book but not so with memories attached there.


For a moment he was stunned, then his hand touched the smooth and smooth surface of the cover. There was an intention in his heart to read the contents, but not to open the first page of doubt came suddenly. 


A week ago Arna decided not to open the book again. Because every time it was opened, his chest ached and his heart broke. Previously he had written many things, since entering this organization only the book of his brother's last gift that can be trusted to pour turmoil in him.


But unfortunately every time the first sheet opens or when the wind blows, the book always reminds him of the family. Family, Mother and Father who are always busy but still can give them enough attention, Brother Rabka, brother and friend who are always with him happy or difficult, who was beside him as the guard. Likewise, when Kak Rabka is confused or sad, he will hold tightly to the body of the brother who was three years adrift of him and Kak Rabka will immediately smile. A warm smile that he always craved and satisfied when painted.


Arna shook her head vigorously trying to repel her increasingly erratic feelings. 


“After all it's just a book, there's nothing but pictures and writing there.” 


Still in nervousness, the first sheet opened. Memory rippled from the sheet containing the photo. 


“Look at their cheerful smile.” Arna spoke to himself while feeling a picture of two children who were eating fried chicken crispy with a simple background restaurant.


The next sheet is a picture of father, mother, sister and above the tree house. 


It was the day that the father was given three days off and the mother five days off, so because of the short time they decided to stop at a nearby tourist spot so as not to spend a lot of energy. It just so happened that an amusement park not far from the city park had just opened, and that was their photo. He still remembers the incident before taking pictures, the incident that happened to himself.


At that time Arna was too eager to explore a new place, if only he had known if there was a mascot there then certainly would not want to leave the group. When a clown-costumed person approaches her, Arna shudders in horror and immediately hugs the person next to her who was thought to be a mother, but unfortunately she is a toothless grandmother. Honestly, he was more afraid of the grandmother than the costumed man he had been afraid of since first grade.


Arna sighed for the umpteenth time. Memories are all pleasant and perfect, again He dissolves in his own feelings. In fact, he still feels not brave and does not want to part with his family, he still wants to feel the caress of both parents and play together as usual.


Even so, all those tantalizing thoughts and hopes had to be in his grave deep, deep, He will never be able to joke with Brother Rabka as satisfied as he feels Mother's soft hand caress or runs after a father who runs very fast. The explosion took everything away, there was nothing left. Arna smiled with indeterminate feeling, covered her face with her palms and her eyes felt watery. No more crying, though his heart screamed bitterly and his chest cracked, his body could no longer vent tears.


The sound of a knock on the door of the room invites back her consciousness, Arna quickly closes the book and steps towards the door. 


“Ya, briefly!” He said while turning the doorknob.


A boy a year older than her smiled confidently.


“You want to practice with me today?” bargained for.


“Sure!” answer Arna.


The boy glanced at Arna's room with a strange look. He looked at Arna and asked,


“That book, where did you get it from? Have you been to town?” Ask the boy in wonder.


“That's a gift book from my brother, I've got it for a long time. In fact, before I stayed here.” Replied Arna with a somewhat forced smile. 


Actually, he felt a bit uncomfortable when it came to discussing Rabka at a time like this.


“Oohh...!” The boy was just long in response.


“Why?” Tanya Arna felt somewhat suspicious.


“Not why, it's just that a new kid like you has dared to go to town. That's an impossible thing.” Answer lightly.


Arna smiled bitterly at the reply he heard underestimating it. 


“Why City?” ask Arna not understand.


“Yeah..., such a good book where else besides in the City?” abugn.


Arna just nodded her head in small nods realizing the distance of the city and this place still had to cross the dense forest.


“You want to practice with me?” Ask the boy to confirm.


“Come!” said Arna while out locking the door of the room, actually Arna's lustful napsu wanted to reply to the words of his friend who underestimated it.


“Hah, I will definitely teach you a lesson later" Arna said in her heart because she felt underestimated about the new child.
