The Journey of Eternity
Trace 12 - Perfect Day II.



Everyone showed a surprised face mixed in disbelief with what Arlo said just now. Their faces were all dumbstruck and put on confused faces.


Eri looks very surprised by what Arlo said. He seemed very happy to hear the news.


“But how?” Eri.


“Let's rest all set by the two parents.”


“How about the trip?”


“True Arlo, how is the trip?” Pak Harto asked his face was more serious than before and mixed with worry.


“Take it easy, the trip is only for a while, maybe only one day. Besides because they both came, so they must have accompanied us. Right?”


“Of course!” Ferdi and Sina answered together.


“Alright I don't think there's any need to worry about my daughter, but when you go what if the devil attacks?” ask Mr. Harto with a face that is still hesitant.


“Mother said she'd send ten people, didn't she! But ten special demons to keep watch and stay in your inn until I return. What can?”


“Hem..com absolutely steady preparation. I'm willing as a container of reinforcements that as long as it's not too long”


“Alright already decided three more days we leave friends!”


“WELL!!”


...(----------------)...


Arlo walks with a woman. His black hair on the centipede was pretty and wore a long black suit with yellow larvae. Arlo looks at it affectionately and embraces it while walking.


The girl raised the hand that was used to embrace her and pulled the hand to sit somewhere. The two of them stopped by the lake and were about to sit on one of the chairs there. A smile full of happiness cannot be covered by both of them.


“So soon we'll be together forever.”


“Of course Miss, we will always be together.”


“Thank you.”


A love letter to a lover far away..


The sun sets so beautifully at the western end of the world. Thin cloudy clouds plus sunlight in the afternoon give rise to a twin rainbow on eastern earth. The weather was also so bright as to complement the two of them who were full of happiness.


The two sat on the bench and stared at the rainbow, hoping that time would stop until they could be content to look at it. In the middle of it. Eri steals a kiss on Arlo's cheek, Arlo is shocked by it and they both kiss.


...(----------------)...


“Alright Arlo, because all orders can be carried out well then, you can take off from your duties for the day after tomorrow. But tomorrow something is coming, so don't let your guard down because of your own activities.


“But what danger is coming Mother. What is a demon attack?. And what happened the day after?”


“You always ask a lot yes.”


“But isn't that important?, because remembering was a careless word, so mung-“


“Calm Arlo, maybe not something bad” either


“Alright Then. Good evening.. Mother. Don't disappoint Dad Today!”


“Alright, basic!!. You're not polite Arlo. But I think you're an adult too


Alright good night young boy” his voice began to slowly vanish within the horizon.


...(----------------)...


Today the main clock still shows around 7am. And the day still looked dark, Arlo who was still working in his trading place felt anxious about today.


The longer the temperature feels cold due to irregular wind. The surrounding trees began to move violently due to the wind blowing so hard. The people around me also did not leave the house.


“It looks like there will be a storm Today. So I have to be vigilant for today” murmured Arlo, staring at the sky.


“Hei son, keep the light stuff in this box. The wind will get stronger from the east. It!” arlo's boss handed Arlo two large boxes.


“Good. But what about some of the tools that hang there?” Arlo pointed at an object shaped like a bull's head but larger and its horn broken to the left.


“It won't fall, but maybe we can take it. Oh. no one ordered anything, so take care of everything I go first”


“Of course!”


Arlo immediately prepared the task from his superiors and immediately completed it. Then he tried to take the bull's head, but there was nothing he could use to climb and retrieve it.


Finally he let it go and waited for his superior to ask for help. He thought his boss would be back soon, but after a while there was no sign of him returning until sometime. A man approached from outside the shop.


“Arlo.. how about your work today?” from a distance with a vague voice, Uncle Eri approached with an umbrella.


“Nothing special. But there's that thing, and I can't take it. What say?” Arlo pointed at something on the wall.


“So that's yes.maybe that stick can help. I can drop it through that stick and you can catch it, how do you agree?”


“Alright let's try” Arlo takes the stick and hands it to Uncle Eri.


In one stroke, the head fell down and was received by Arlo. That head was pretty heavy for Arlo. But not only that, Arlo also felt pressure on something inside the bull's head. The watas from the bull's head shone and emitted a strange aura.


“What light is this?!, it feels like, like for too long alone” Arlo feels confused by the aura emanated from the bull's head. It felt similar to the rabbit he had met with Youta but this was more gloomy and lonely.
