The Rhyme of the Depositary
THREE FOUR



Today Rachel is enjoying her Sunday vacation at home with her sister Anna. For a month Anna decided to spend some of her time at home. His school was over, he began to be interested in continuing his education again to the level of lectures at the university not far from home.


Anna has considered many things. By choosing the nearest university, it will further reduce the cost of living. He can go home every day and does not have to spend a lot of money to rent a flat or eat. Rachel of course supported her sister's intentions. From the beginning he encouraged Anna to get a higher education. Wishing to get better luck than him.


"Anna .. Can you help me with this cake?" Rachel shouted from the kitchen, calling her sister who was in the room.


"Wait a minute," she replied a little while, making Rachel slow-mouthed.


Young man now. Every day is occupied with cell phones. That damned little thing can make people anti-social. Just imagine, at every family meeting, teenage children are more immersed in their virtual world than the real world. This social disease should have been overcome long ago.


"Can you just put your phone down for a second and help me?" Rachel repeated her request with slight annoyance.


Before long, Anna appeared in the kitchen with her trademark smile. She approached her brother, receiving some instructions to come help.


"You're really chatty, you know?" Anna grimacing.


"You are the inconsiderate. As long as you're home, your first priority is always a cell phone."


"Oh come on, shouldn't girls my age enjoy life more? I need to get to know the figure of a handsome young man with brown skin, strong muscles and an alluring smile. Oh my God, when can I get the man of my dreams." Anna closed her eyes for a moment, smiled slightly, began to imagine something.


"Can you live in the real world? The young man you're attracted to will only look at you if you become a quality and successful woman." Rachel waved a hand full of wheat, stopping her sister's delusion.


"Thank you the ripe cake from the open and chill it there!" pinta Rachel pointed at a place where the cake had been covered with tissue.


"You know, my friends date men quite often. While I've only been doing this lately, can you share a little of your experience so that I don't get too stiff?" Anna placed the still hot cake with a cloth mat. He adjusted the place of the tray before him, and turned it around slowly.


"You don't need my advice. Do it as naturally as possible. Find a young man who truly appreciates you. Don't waste your feelings on obscure playboys. Be a quality woman and find a smart man." Rachel stirred the new dough to make another cake.


"Rachel, do you believe in love?" ask Anna suddenly.


Rachel looked surprised, making some flour fly into the air.


"Why did you suddenly ask that?" rachel asked suspiciously.


"Let's know, it's just that I often wonder if love exists. Our parents claim to love us but in fact they are busy with their new family. We just sit idly by. From childhood, you're the one who's been like a second mother to me." Anna was silent for a long time. He took out some serving plates and neatly placed Rachel's handmade cake.


"Forgive them, Anna. Don't think of anything unimportant. As long as we have each other, we won't get into trouble." Rachel kissed her sister's cheek gently, trying to convince her.


Rachel was busy finishing her wedding. They talked about a lighter topic. Half an hour later they were in the kitchen, and then there was a loud knock from the front door. Rachel frowned in wonder. Who's been visiting so early? Did Daniel? It was not usual for the man to be polite like a guest. Daniel always entered his house like an old friend who didn't need an invitation. Or fiancee? It was a surprise that Harry had taken the time to visit her


It was usually Rachel who visited the man's flat.


"Force a moment. I'll see who's coming." Rachel walked away towards the unlocked front door.


The sound of his thin sandals sounded srek-srek when rubbing against the floor of the house that had long faded its main layer. Rachel's house is simple. Each part of the house is made of standard material that is easy to peel off.


"Yes?" Rachel opened the door.


He stood surprised to see the figure of the person he was facing. A loud shout came out from her tiny lips, making Anna who was in the kitchen immediately follow forward, afraid of something bad happening.


Anna was as surprised as Rachel. They both stayed long enough. Their eyes were in disbelief. Rachel's senses no longer have a function.


A man in his late sixties stood tall, with a paralyzed woman sitting in a wheelchair. The woman he's been looking for the last two months is desperately looking for. The woman he nearly missed.


"Alice, Oh my God ... " Rachel snatched his theme. He shook Alice's body, convincing himself.


"Where have you been all this time, Alice?" Rachel clasped tightly onto Alice's fingers which felt a little cold.


"Alice, what happened to you? Why use a wheelchair? You injured? " Rachel traced all parts of her theme's body, looking for if any irregularities occurred.


"navy ... " Rachel touched the side of her theme face, feeling something strange. Alice's eyes seemed flat not giving any reaction.


"Alice!" Rachel moved Alice's arm. The woman did not respond.


Alice's lips paled slightly. His face looked haggard, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time.


"You who? What happened to her?" Rachel looked suspiciously at the man behind Alice. Was he the one who had harmed his theme?


Rachel grabs the end of the wheelchair, pulling Alice closer, evading a stranger she has never seen before.


"I am William, the butler of the Mallory family. Sir told me to drop Ms. White to you. Two months ago he had an accident, his physical and mental condition had decreased."


"He's got paralysis." William gave an additional explanation.


Rachel stood up suddenly, slapping William in the face with all her might. Hatred and anger overflowed into one.


"What has been*********that did to my friend? Is he not satisfied to ruin his life and bring much misery?" Rachel again slapped the flat face of the man in front of her. There was no reaction given by William. She just kept quiet, accepting whatever Rachel was doing.


"Now that he is satisfied to play, easily disposing of Alice in this condition? Paralyzed and helpless." Rachel pushed William's sturdy body. He hit his chest repeatedly, venting his anger.


"Go to hell. I hate you guys. Don't disturb his life anymore. The Lord will surely curse you with a thousand curses that will not vanish for thousands of years. You hear that? Get out of here." Rachel pushes William one last time, turns around and pushes Alice's wheelchair into the house followed by Anna.


Anna, with her teenage emotions slammed the front door very hard. Produce a boom that vibrates to the roofs of the house.


Rachel touched each side of Alice's face feelingly. Her tears glistened at the helplessness that Alice was experiencing. Alice's face was no more. His expression disappeared into grief. His face revealed a deep despair.


"Alice ...," call Rachel down. Her dark hair looks messy.


The same eyes that had once looked at him in many ways had faded away. Leaving the void without direction.


"navy .... " Rachel's call is getting weaker each time.


This woman still doesn't respond. There was nothing she could find on her beautiful face. A beautiful face that has been admired by many. A beautiful face that is now just as a decoration.


"Alice, this is Rachel .. Do you remember?"


Rachel clasped Alice's hand, guiding her to rub her face, hoping that Alice's subconscious would recognize her. It was possible that in the part of his heart that was hidden, this theme still remembered little memories of them.


"Alice, react. Are you mad at me because I found you too long?"


There was a sense of guilt built up in the depths of Rachel's heart. If only she could turn things around, Alice might still be saved if she found her sooner. Time can change many things.


"Do you hate me, Alice? Don't you want to say hello to your friend? I tried to find you tired. I even thought you were dead somewhere somewhere. Can you forgive me and talk to me again?" Rachel leaned her face against Alice's knee, sobbing bitterly.


This woman doesn't even respond to anything anymore. It seemed, he had chosen his own desired world. A world far from Rachel's. An alien world that only Alice inhabits.


"Is the world you chose more beautiful than this world, Alice? Don't you miss me too? I missed you half dead. I've been dreaming of this meeting for a long time. Every day feels like a thousand years to me. Very Tortuously. So please, come back. Don't just let your body come back."


Rachel hugged Alice's weakened legs, kissing her carefully. This leg had long sustained Alice. The legs he had used faced many problems. The feet are no longer helpless. It has no function to move freely again. O Lord, what kind of suffering has been outlined for this good friend of his.


Rachel stood up limped, hugging Alice feelingly. He rubbed Alice's shoulders slowly. This little shoulder has sustained a lot of the burden of life. Very heavy load. Is not enough of this shoulder to face tragedy? Should he have pain again? When is happiness that he can get. Increasingly, happiness is just like a pseudo-promise that disappears slowly.


"Please, Alice .. as beautiful as any world you have, come back to the real world. Don't you feel a little pity for me?" Rachel's crying became more and more. He sobbed fiercely propping himself up on Alice's weak boat. Tears seeped, soaking into Alice's shirt to form a dark color.


A knock was heard. Rachel ignored him and was still drowning in pain. The beats repeat three times. Anna finally decided to open up.


A twenty-month-old toddler was just handed over to Anna. The teenager accepted it confused. Carefully, Anna was holding the baby awkwardly.


"Rachel ...," call Anna.


Anna was saddened to see Alice's sad state. The woman was pretty good. Life should not abandon him.


"Rachel ...," call Anna back.


Rachel has calmed down. He rubbed his tears rough. Her nose had been flushed like a tomato for too long crying. His clothes were also very messy.


"Rachel!!" This time Anna called her sister in a slightly loud tone.


Rachel looked unhappy. He looked surprised to see his sister had been holding a child. It seemed like for a moment, he was drowning in grief. Unaware of what was happening around him.


"The old man gave up this child, saying he was Alice's son." Anna shriveled in confusion.She had heard her brother's friend had a child. Why is it so big.


"Should I have this kid, Rachel? I'm not very good at taking care of a child." Anna looked confused.


Rachel looked at Anna as confused as she was. After all the efforts that Alice had made to get her son, now the child instead he got when his mental state decreased drastically.


"Come on Anna, I'm the same. I think I can learn to take care of a child from now on." Rachel looked a little upset.


He should inform Daniel immediately.
