Vee, My Beloved From the Past

forbidden forest

A leaf fell on his face. Vee gasped in surprise, and was confused to look around him.

Dark and silent.

His view is limited because it only relies on the moonlight covered with dense foliage.

Hardly any light, so dark.

"Oh my God, where am I? I'm lost god" muttered Vee who was still trying to be funny to encourage himself who was somewhere.

"Dark O Allah, Please help Vee O Allah" Vee fumbled around.

He remembered the woman he had seen. And now I don't see it anymore.

Maybe he's hiding?

"Oh Allah, why forget all the verses you used to memorize?" Vee cursed his stupidity in this crucial moment.

"Gini nih, if you like to skip time told naji same mother" is still fumbling, Vee even remembered the mother.

"Bundaaa, please Vee" he whined.

"What's this?" Vee was surprised as his palm felt something.

"Round but not ball" he murmured.

"Hair but not smooth, so not hair" still Vee monologue.

"Coconut shell isn't it?" Vee asked himself.

"But there are no coconut trees?" ask Vee lirih.

Vee looked up to find out who knew there was a coconut tree nearby. But it's invisible.

Only tall towering trees of some kind covered almost most of this area.

"What is this about?" Vee ventured to lift a kind of ball that felt amused when touched, holding a kind of stringy rope in his grasp.

When Vee was staring at the ball. And slowly due to the gust of wind, the ball in his hand rotated and displayed the other side that was behind it.

"Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

Instantly Vee shouted loudly when she found a pair of eyes that were staring at her.

It turned out that what he was holding was a head with hair that Vee thought was a long rope.

Soon Vee threw the head down with all his might. Try to throw it as far away as possible.

While his mouth was still shouting loudly.

A figure of a woman wearing a kebaya patterned old-fashioned batik that had led him to this forest, suddenly appeared when Vee threw his head in his hand earlier.

Deftly, the figure caught the long-haired head with both hands.

Without Vee thinking before, the figure stuck the head right on the part of his neck that looked covered in dried blood.

Vee closed his mouth, trying to swallow a voice that really wanted to come out without a command.

After the head was perfectly stuck.

The atmosphere of the air around Vee changed rapidly, it only took a split second to make the night sunyinya who was still listening to the song of the night beast, turned into a very quiet, silent, the silence and vision of Vee's eyes changed just like when you look at a four-dimensional film using special glasses.

Vee has moved. In one blink of an eye, he had been in the front yard of the rice warehouse. Together with the cries of the residents who roared came to the yard of this warehouse.

"My wife, meet. The courtesan met, let's get checked. Ojo sampek mlyayu maneh"

(That's the guy, meet. The master meets, let's get arrested quickly. Don't run away again)"

There was a man commanding some citizens who came in crowds with him.

Most of them are indigenous. They wear traditional Javanese colonial dress.

The smell of dust carried by the wind as they ran smelled in Vee's nose. He closed his eyes and covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

"Why are so many people suddenly?" ask Vee who is still petrified in his place.

Observing the events that are going on in front of him.

But strangely enough, none of them were aware of Vee's existence.

The girl was as if it was just a wind then, invisible.

"Sheek.. Seks... The bath!!" yelled at the man again.

(At a minute, stop)

"That jerky iki mari mateni Hideo rupane" said the man, not daring to go any further.

(This crazy kid has killed Hideo apparently)

"Delok en talah, mayit e sik on my seat. Xxc*k. Wis matek" he said.

(Look, the body is still in his lap. Damn, it's dead).

The woman looked resigned, not knowing what else to do. He could only cry because he had been mobbed by angry citizens and was eyeing his life.

"Serbuuu" shouted the man earlier.

Fomenting the emotions of the citizens he brought to the masses punished the woman mercilessly.

They did not even want to hear the woman's defense.

They attract the woman. Two people holding his right and left hands. The woman was forcibly pulled by the citizens.

There was no rejection from him, he just resignedly followed the flow that the citizens wanted. Only her tears that continuously fell on her cheeks were slightly chubby.

"Turokno! Turokno!"

(Sleep! Sleep it!)

Shouted them.

Without many words, someone of them had taken out a machete and slaughtered the woman mercilessly.

Instantly the woman took her life.

Blood from his neck came out with a rush. While the citizens were seen laughing triumphantly.

For a moment his body floundered incoherently, while his eyes glared at the one by one citizens who were gnawing at him mercilessly.

Those eyes were now staring sadly at Vee who was invisible to the rest of the citizens.

Especially when the residents decided to bring the separated head and body to the back of the warehouse.

Throwing it away when it was far enough into the forest.

They let the body that is not intact become food for wild animals. Whether it is a poisonous snake or other slithering animals.

Gradually, the sight blurred. The longer, the color fades. The longer it goes, like when you see an old TV that only shows black and white.

Daritadi Vee was already crying, from the moment someone slaughtered the woman mercilessly.

Until now, Vee is still happy. Couldn't bear to see the pitiful scenery that he couldn't prevent in any way.

In the forbidden forest, behind the warehouse where Andik unloads his load of fertilizer.

The woman was in front of Vee, only about two steps away from her. His face was smiling, as if feeling an overwhelming relief.

"Siro wis chosen, guduk isun jadok e" although his voice sounds soft, but Vee can hear it clearly.

(You've been chosen, not me)

"Terimoen destiny siro, isun wis kes sing arepe njogo" said the woman again.

(Receive your destiny, I'm tired of looking after it)

"Ojo siro sio-sio, ko isun sing not terimo will nekani siro" he added.

(Don't waste it, I'll come to you later)

"I mean e nopo toh yu? Ojo meden-medeni me. I'm iki sik cilik, mbok ojok in dawuhi sing no-no, yuu" complained Vee in Javanese language that he understood.

(What do you mean mbak? Don't kidnap me. I'm a kid, don't tell me anything)

The woman ignored the fear that ran through every joint in Vee's bones. Vee's trembling made him, only he was too embarrassed to collapse right now.

Lifting slowly one of her hands, the woman was trying to grab Vee's palm.

Can, but of course immediately Vee pulled his hand back. Fear is held the same ghost, if the one who holds his hand Chanyeol maybe Vee will let him.

The woman glared in horror, again trying to hold Vee's hand and grasped it tightly after getting it.

"Oh Allah, mother... Vee was scared" complained Vee who felt her palm was extremely cold as the woman held it.

Suddenly from his other hand, the woman could miraculously pull out a wooden box that was not so big. And give it to Vee.

"Jogoen, rumaten, golekne. Ojo nganti purnomo" said the woman who was somehow very stuck in the brain of Vee mediocre.

(Show, take care, find a place. Do not exceed four full moons)

Gradually, the woman's existence faded. Still with a full look at Vee as his body slowly fused and disappeared into the night wind.

And finally, Vee collapsed.

His knees were already not strong enough to hold his body weight after fighting for as long as he could.

"Mother... Hicks .. Hicks .." Vee started crying.

Just know what it's like to be stuck by the mother. Yesterday he did not say goodbye to his mother when he came out with his dhenya sir.

"Mother, Vee wants to go home. Where's road? Vee's scared, Bun" is still whining.

Vee was kicking in the air, just like a kid who wasn't buying a toy.

If only Varo, his brother, knew with Vee's behavior like this, Vee would have been laughed at until the turn of the year.

Although very quiet, Varo likes to bring up things that are not important.

Or if Alina, her hijab-wearing little sister knows too. It must be lost already his admiration that always upholds the name of this sister.

Accidentally his foot kicked a wooden box that apparently was deliberately left by a woman who was wealthy for him.

Vee's cry subsided, peering out from the crack of his finger at the wooden box that had now opened.

There was a small bottle resembling a perfume bottle, but it was very small. Just the size of his index finger.

There is also an ancient book that is also small in size. Just as big as a scout's pocket book.

"What's this?" muttered Vee observed the two objects before him.

He was more interested in opening his book first.

On the first page, there is a short writing that uses the Javanese script which seems to be a name.

"Sri Prameswari?" mumble Vee.

"Are you reading Sri Prameswari? Fortunately, I learned Javanese diligently. Apparently now it's worth it" Vee said.

Second page.

"Hideo Akihiro?"

"Who is Hideo Akihiro?" Vee was still muttering to himself.

Third page.

"Saged open close e, ojo left isine. The responsibility of e Siro wis begins" Vee reads well despite stammering.

"Can be opened closed, do not leave the contents. Your responsibility has begun?".

Curious dong, Vee immediately observed the small bottle that was in his other hand.

There's a lid in the mouth of a bottle that small.

"Duh, it's so gurgling. So I want to eat it" muttered Vee who saw a funny bottle in front of him.

"Eh, there's writing too" Vee still observed the mini bottle.

"Hideo Akihiro" said Vee who managed to spell well.

"Open up, it's okay. Nothing is going to happen" Vee said.

Even he had forgotten where he was, because he was too engrossed in his activities.

The position is still the same, sitting on the ground with both legs crossed.

"Bismillah, 1, 2, 3, open!" vee said encouragingly, and closed both eyes after the lid opened.

The small lid in the mouth of the bottle had been lifted, it was very small in size. Fortunately there is a strap so that the lid is not lost when it comes off.

"No, nothing happened" said Vee glad, because the atmosphere was still quiet.

"Huft, safe" Vee stroked his chest in matchless relief.

He also put the small book and mini bottle back into his wooden box. After that, he stood up and wanted to get out of the place.

In a standing position, Vee still had time to pat his dirty ass because it was stuck with soil and dry leaves.

"Already, clean. It's time to get rid of Andik's pak dhe instead of nagging again" Vee said after tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh" Vee shouted back when she saw something hovering in the air.

What did Vee see until she screamed hysterically?

Watch your voice run out, Vee, daritadi yells on.
