“You want to see him now? In that state of chaos?” the stranger asked occasionally whistling. Bell decided not to listen to what the mysterious Uncle said. He was preparing to run but a hand was holding his shoulder tightly.
“You really know Noah?”
“Yes. Little girl, you better get into your house, and leave for school” immediately
“Hey, Noah disappeared. What if something happens to her?”
“No. He took great care of himself to keep his vow to a girl. So go to school, after school you can see him soon”
“Uncle, don't you know him? Why don't you worry about it one bit?!” bell's protest grumbled getting a ban from everywhere.
“It is precisely because I know him that I know where he is now. So you, go study now” the unknown Uncle turned Bell's body in the direction where Bell's house was.
“I worry about it”
“You can meet him after school. Because you don't need a map or GPRS to know where it's located. Couldn't the thread in your hand lead you to find Noah?”
“What?! Uncle...., can you see the thread in my hand?!”
“Thread is related to Noah, little girl. You could say that thread is a matchmaking bond between you. So wherever he goes, you just need to find the other end of the thread”
“How about after school the thread disappears?”
“Not going. Except,”
“Except what?”
“Unless someone accidentally breaks that rope tie or one of you dies”
“You toying with me? Of course fate will decide when one of us dies. Of course we will be separated. Did Uncle blame God for deliberately breaking our bond?”
“The stubborn little girl” the unidentified Uncle ruffled Bell's hair.
“For what do I blame God?” answer the Uncle.
Because I am a God, why do I do it? Inner God Thanatos.
“I was just thinking, if you guys will be apart someday. So, on that day one of you will deliberately break the bond of your matchmaking” added Dewa Thanatos trying to tell the reality. Not reality in the present. But in the past that even Bell and Noah don't remember at all.
“Don't act like Uncle knows everything. I really don't have much time to spend playing around with Uncle!” bell was incredibly upset.
Bell doesn't want to hear anymore. He continued to step, opposite the direction of his house even though the Uncle was not clear of his origin, forcing him to go to school.
“I will keep following you if you do not obey my orders Bell!!”
“How can Uncle know my name?” Bell stopped his footsteps, turning his head full of question marks.
“Easy. Whatever Noah has to do, I know. Everything” replied Dewa Thanatos. The God thought hard to see Bell going on his way.
“He needs time alone for a while. If you meet him now, the problem will never be solved!!” shouted the God. Bell was again forced to follow the advice of the God. And ended up going back to his house. The god Thanatos stood still at the same point.
“Gazleil..Why are you here? Aren't you the one who took the initiative to keep an eye on Noah?” the god Thanatos asked the God Gazleil while his eyes, not looking at Bell's house.
“There are things that escape our supervision Thanatos”
“What is it?” now Thanatos's attention was on the god Gazleil.
“Our decision to throw the god Eros into the earth in order to become human, causing the negative elements of the earth to be absorbed by another human child. Who was also born at the same time as Noah and Bell” Gazleil tried to explain his case.
“This is not good. Our plan to grant Noah's prayer will be hampered because the human was” furious with the god Thanatos.
“We must quickly move” Gazleil pat Thanatos on the shoulder asking for support. Then they disappeared without a trace.
At school, at recess just rang...Bell kept quiet even though there were many friends surrounding him, asking him to speak. His heart was too restless until there was no desire to just smile, even though a fake smile.
“Bell, why don't I see Noah around you?” there was the sound of someone breaking Bell's daydream.
“She's sick. O yes Petra, I heard you are a person who likes to make clippings, right?”
“Yes, but only clippings that discuss specific cases are”
“What is the case?”
“About life in the past”
“Prime man?”
“Hahahaha I have no interest in that. Want juice? I happened to order Petra's fresh two” avocado juice, after the cafeteria waiter thrust his order onto the table.
“You're waiting for someone?” bell asked frowning.
“No. It's just my habit. I am among the people who drink a lot of Petra's chuckle while thrusting a glass of Avocado juice in front of Bell. No need to think long, Bell also received the kindness of Petra.
“Then you are interested in what field?”
“You”
“Precisely less. Because only one girl gets such honor from me”
“Colah.., don't confuse me” kekeh Bell while propping her chin up on the table.
“I mean, I am very interested in what reincarnation is. Does such a thing exist? Can people who experience it know their habits in their past lives? Or even forget about it? Well, it's as simple as that” Petra replied at length.
“Wow...., you started clipping such a thing since when?”
“Ah, you definitely won't believe it”
“But I want to know come on...,”.
“Since I could read and write. At first I read everything. Newspapers, magazines, comic books, articles on the internet and others. Up in a magazine I stumbled upon the case of an elementary school boy who thought that in his past life, he was a hit man. He saw memories in his past” Petra's answer, making Bell's heart beat fast.
“Yes, since then I started making a lot of clippings about it” added Petra blazing.
“Can I read your clipping?”
“Of course, but I never took her to school”
“But..., after school I have a need. Next time I will come to your house with Noah” welcome Bell a little disappointed.
“Or can I come to your house to lend it to you?”
“Can? I'd be so happy if you'd take your time” Bell's smile is back beautifully.
“OK, I'll be there and visit Noah”
“No need. Noah needs a long break. If a guest comes to his house.., it can worsen his condition” prevent Bell make Petra confused.
“Wah, is that how bad Noah is? Indeed he is sick to not be visited?”
“She...., having a sleep disorder!! Yes, sleep disorders that begin to occur often in these three days. So..., you better not have to visit it”
“But why...., I feel that you are the one with sleep disorders?”
“Sok knows ah, from where can you get that conclusion huh?” Bell started to twitch.
“You didn't realize it? There is a black ring around your eye. You look like Panda” chuckles Petra while pointing towards Bell's eyes. Fortunately the entrance bell started ringing. Bell breathed a sigh of relief as Petra bade, immediately rushing into her class.
Geez, what does the black ring look like in my eyes?! Inner Bell hurriedly took out a small mirror inside her shirt pocket.
“Sial!! I have to cover it up now” grumbled Bell, put the little mirror back in his pocket, then rushed into the classroom.
In the classroom, Bell again remembered Noah was not at his side. The bench next to the empty Bell, made the girl come back uninspired.
“You didn't realize it? There is a black ring around your eye. You look like Panda” suddenly Petra's voice is ringing back in Bell's ear.
He remembered his bad performance today. Bell took the powder from his bag, trying to cover the blackened circumference of his eyes.
“Nona Bell, it's class time not preening. Put your cosmetics here,” suddenly Mrs voice. Miah made Bell realize that her teacher had entered the class earlier.
“But...”.
“Do my orders, or will you get a sentence after school?” firmly Mrs. Miah pointed out that her orders were absolute.
Bell had no other choice. If he tries again to find an excuse, Bell may fail to find Noah because of fatigue due to running 30 rounds, around the back of the school field, which is devoted to long-distance running.
After school, Bell decided not to go home first. He talked to his parents to find Noah. Bell decided to rent a bicycle, while continuing to trace where the end of the golden thread was stretched.
“Bukit? Why is Noah here?” bell muttered, stopping the speed of the bike, leading his bike towards Noah.
“Why did you get here? Aww!!” shocked Noah, groaning in pain due to his back in the thick textbook throw.
“Feel!! You know not everyone panics looking for you? Including me know?!” bell's protest was upset.
“You don't know the problem” said Noah, choosing to turn the other way.
“Mommu told me. If you don't want to go to Germany” Bell said, now you can get full attention from Noah.
“So what do you think?”
“Go away, anyway for your future. You can take the day off, and come back here all you want,”
“After a year. I'll only be able to see you once a year. And it feels heavy to me”
“Indeed why meet once a year? Than we won't meet forever?” Bell tried as hard as a rock. But her tears came without excuse.
“It's okay? Really?” Noah asked as he stepped closer to Bell. The girl retreated, keeping her distance from Noah.
“Really. Please don't come any closer than that!! Or me, it'll be your biggest obstacle Noah” Bell warned.
“If you mean it, you won't keep your distance from me now” Noah said even closer and clutching Bell tightly.
“What is this? You're asking me to arrest you? You want me to look like a selfish friend in front of your family?!” bell beat Noah's arms.
