I was stunned when the mound buried Jasmine's coffin resting place.
[I wish I hadn't left Jasmine if Jasmine was still here, next to me.]
Mom kept crying over my shoulder,
[I should have said to Mother, if it wasn't for me, Jasmine would still be alive.]
That sense of regret, continues to gnaw at the heart. But Mom says I can't keep doing this, I have to go to school.
Three days after the bloody incident, Aunt Pomegranate came home.
Without tears Aunt Pomegranate was only pensive when Dad told this tragedy.
Aunt hugged me, said everything would be fine.
We and our family decided to cover this disgrace, Mom and Dad moved the cursed mirror in my room, they locked the meeting room Me and Jasmine.
[We forget all these things] Mom said at the time, though it was hard but I was reluctant to forget it. I'll keep remembering, I don't want to forget Jasmine. His brother.
That night I walked down the hallway, from behind the door of the room I heard someone talking.
" I won't leave you, we'll always be together ...."
The voice was not foreign, even I recognized the tone of his voice.
I peeked out of the door hole, The short-haired girl pinned her lips.
" He's Jasmine!"
"Rose, don't leave me here!" Jasmine screamed as the creature in the mirror, pulling at her body.
I tried to break down the locked room, but failed.
" Jasmine!" I kept banging on the door, making noise ... My mother hugged me from behind.
"Rose, it's Mom." Mom stroking her back,
" Forget Jasmine."
Now we look at each other without a word.
" I won't forget Jasmine!"
***❤❤❤***
#In Room#
Rose, I've prepared your clothes and all your school supplies. Tomorrow morning you leave for the dorm.
I shook my head, though,
" How about Jasmine, we have to free her!"
"Rose ...."
" Mom doesn't care about Jasmine, she's alone, she's scared!"
" Rose, Jasmine's dead she's calmed down!"
" Jasmine has not calmed down Mother, the creature carries her body, she will continue to be in pain!"
" Rose, stop!"
Mom starts to get upset, she gets angry not clear, Mom always does. I was stunned not daring to say, only a clear circle could describe how much my life suffered, without Jasmine.
" You think, I'm willing to lose Jasmine Rose!"
[Why? why did Jasmine die, why not just Mom! ]
" Mother Rose replied, I'm doing this because I don't want to lose you!"
" But Jasmine, ask for help ...."
" Forget all Rose, and go to sleep. Tomorrow you have to go to the dorm."
***❤❤❤***
#Morning in the car#
" Dad I don't want to go to the dorm, I want to be at home."
" Rose, listen. Do what your mom wants, I love you so much,"
Dad helped me carry a suitcase, then left me alone in front of the hostel.
" I'm not ordinary without Jasmine Dad!"
" You'll get used to it later." Soon Dad's proposing a vehicle. In six months we will meet.
[Everything would not be okay, without Jasmine Dad!]
From a distance, Naura called out to me,
" Rose, come here."
I stepped uncertainly, though,
" I'm sorry about what happened to Jasmine ...."
***❤❤❤***
Six months had passed, I returned home, Father and Mother picked me up. They talked a little with the other guardians, I didn't mind. I just want to come back soon, I want to eat Jasmine, I miss her so much.
" Mom Rose has a gift for you,"
" Ohya, what gift?"
"Surprise at Home. Ohya Rose, what's the name of your friend who disappeared, a once a week has not been found."
" Him, Naura ...."
" Naura?"Sela Daddy's.
" It's just that her parents, they've reported to the police, the hostel has also been looking here and there, but she hasn't met yet."
I just looked at the raindrops from behind the car window, all I had in mind, was Jasmine's grave.
***
Arriving at the House I saw Aunt Pomegranate sweeping the yard, her stomach was large, it seemed like the aunt ate mostly.
" Hey Rose, "
" Why aunt's stomach?"
Aunty was only bowed when Mom got out of the car with a cynical look.
" Rose, let's go in!" Mom pulls this hand right away.
I threw Mom's hand through my front room.
" Jasmine!"
Mom stopped turning her body this way.
" For months forget Rose."
I nodded even though my heart was not submissive.
" I won't allow it!"
" I dream every night, Jasmine cries she's asking for help, I see she's propping up something heavy, she's in Mother's pain."
Now Mother no longer said, tears actually dripped. Passed,
Dad said Mom kept crying every night thinking about Jasmine. Dad asked me not to discuss this anymore, Mom was just afraid of losing me too ... I understand, though the heart is struggling.
Jasmine I'm sorry, but if you were in my current position, you would do the same.
I decided to forget Jasmine.
***❤❤❤***
School holidays are almost over, but Dad said he would move me to another school, maybe Dad was afraid I was missing like Naura, rumors Naura was kidnapped.
I was a little surprised when Mom and Dad decided to move. Dad said he was accepted into a company owned by his college friend first, we're moving to a town away from this remote village.
.
.
.
"Tante's gonna be okay, right?"
Aunt pomegranate nods, tears welling her cheeks.
"There's gonna be a lot of people helping here..."
"I'm gonna miss Auntie..."
"Auntie too..."
" Why doesn't Auntie come with us?"
" Aunty should stay here, guard your grandparents' house!"
" Aunty doesn't have to do it, come with us."
No words, Aunt glanced at Dad and Mom, Mom immediately pulled me in the car.
.
.
.
It should be this way, leaving Aunt Pomegranate ....
The speed of the car increasingly left me far from my hometown.
Everyone does not know this little secret, the old book I hid and the little secret that many people do not know ....
****************************************
This daydream makes tears flow, I'm sorry Jasmine left you?
I'm sorry Jasmine tried to forget you?
I took the device I put near the bed, nine o'clock at night.
A message surprised me.
Wildans!
[have you arrived, baby?]
looks like this message from this afternoon, may have just come in.
[difficult to signal, it will be difficult to contact. I had another nightmare, honestly I need you!]
One message I sent, I closed the screen no message sign sent. The sound of knocking on the door was quite shocking.
"Rose ...."
Aunt Voice.
I turned and turned the key and opened the door.
" Yes, Aunt."
"Tante is worried that from the afternoon you have not left the room, Auntie has prepared dinner for us. You all right?"
"Yes aunty, I'm just so tired... oh yeah the aunt driver who was with me he's been eating?"
"Here's my aunt told me to eat 3 hours ago, it looks tired so she went straight to bed."
I followed Aunt Pomegranate's footsteps, down every aisle.
I see the chair at the dining table is still empty,
"Where are Mom and Dad?"
"They haven't come home yet."
"Not come home yet?"
"The rain hasn't stopped maybe they're still sheltering...."
"I'm worried...."
"All will be well Rose, sit down!"
This time the menu is meat soup.
"Aunty cooks specially for you..." As Auntie got up from the chair to pick up something in the kitchen.
[ Meat soup?] This soup reminds me of what happened back then, but I'm sure it wasn't human flesh like back then, even until now I didn't understand what was happening in this family back then. To kill his own family, is crazy.
"Rose... knapa not eaten?"
Aunty's voice, again breaking the daydream. He brought two glasses of water. He put one next to me ....
" no aunt, just remembering something."
I held a spoon ready to stir the soup, when someone pulled on the shirt I was wearing.
"Sstttt. "her body was blue her hair was short wearing the same dress when the bloody incident occurred.
I can't speak.
He's Jasmine.
seriate....
***❤❤❤***
Rose always felt guilty for the incident that happened to Jasmine.
I wonder what Jasmine would show Rose.
" So Rose hasn't finished yet, accept this fact."
Jasmine Marye.
