YOU'RE MY LIGHT
The past (4)
Unbelief created for Lia. But unlike Rey who looks smiling next to the girl.
“Quietly, I will not take revenge on you.” Cetus Rey opened the conversation.
Now the two are sitting in the garden behind Rey's house. While their parents were in the living room and seemed to be negotiating something important.
“You know, I'm completely unrecovered,”
“Aih, at least apologize first we discussed the other,” grumbled Rey.
Lia stared at Rey's reasonable flatness, then lowered her gaze onto Rey's arm which was on the bandage. “As I recall, I didn't kill you, just stabbing your arm, why did you pass out?’’
Rey laughed a little and it made Lia frown, “aku hemophobia, Lia,” he admitted.
“Cause I'm not as smart as you and also because I didn't go to school for a long time,” Lia satcap, “can you explain the meaning of the word you mentioned earlier?’’
“Hemophobia?’’
“Iya, he, he that is. I'm not good at calling it.”
“I'm afraid of Lia's blood. And I often faint when I see it. And when you slashed my finger the other day, I ran out until I passed out again,”
Lia laughs to hear it, “maaf, hehehe”
“I don't think I changed you, seeing your cruel stare passing by, it can't be easy to change your attitude. Did any angels come to you?’’
Lia looked straight ahead. Folding her hands on the chest, “one because of my mother. I've never made it that angry, and I'm really scared. And your last words before fainting slightly opened up a light chamber in my heart,”.
“You know, the way we talk is like beating the adults. I'm confused myself, I'm too wise or too smart, I don't know,”
“Wau, amazing your vanity, cih.”
“Hahaha, kidding Lia.”
Lia snorted but smiled as well. Suddenly he remembered something again. “There is another thing that makes me recover,” he said.
“What?’’
“My father's killer is all around us.”
“You mean?’’
“After I hurt you and had a fight with Mom, I pondered all night near the window.” Pause for a while, “ black-robed adult man and a very strange emblem behind him, I still remember very much his features. I saw him stalking your house. “
Rey didn't say anything. He decided to listen first. I
“You know? He is that killer. My father's killer.”
Rey's pounding. Both of them are silent now. Busy with their own minds. Rey imagines the tragic events she has experienced with her family. Lia's father was the same person who attacked us. I'd better not tell Lia first, I need to find out. Think Rey.
“After I saw it, I rose from the dark. Help me Rey, we have to report the guy,”
Rey looked at the girl. “Iya, Lia.”
“Thank you,” he said sincerely.
“Oh, so this is your real self huh? I think it's more scary like
yesterday,”
Lia came back and smiled again. Yes, he's back. “I think
lucky to have met the killer in person.”
“Why lucky?”
“He seems poetic,”
“Ha?’’
“Darkness is beautiful. That's what he told me. He must be good at poetry, I'm sure it's.”
Rey nodded in agreement, “em, apparently so too. Maybe it was the title of his poem that failed, then got frustrated and killed people,”
This is where the friendship between Rey and Lia begins. Their days are always filled with togetherness. Lia is finally back in school. She has transferred Lisa to Rey's school. No one objected, instead Lia felt more comfortable and safe if with her new friend.

December 25, 1997
“Happy Christmas dear Mother,,,” said Lia when she woke up early. Her mother has dressed almost perfectly, her appearance makes Lia pangling, then said, “Mother is beautiful.” Compliment, “mau to Christmas or to the application event Bu?”
With Lisa's wrath on her daughter's head, “do not carelessly Lia, your father is still here,” Lisa touches his chest next door. Lia laughing.
In the house of Lia studded happily between Mother and child, another in the house of her neighbor who looks more perfect. Of course, Rey's father is still alive.
“Merry Christmas Dad, Mom...” Rey hugs both, “where is the card?’’
“Merry Christmas also dear.” Reply to the Mother, “kadonya followed,” Nina kissed forehead
her child.
“Hai Champ, merry Christmas and happy birthday.” Father said.
“Thanks Dad, Mom.”.
Amidst the happiness of everyone in order to celebrate Christmas Day, especially these two very harmonious neighbors, in other places there is a figure who looks very happy as well. Terribly happy. Because the day he had been waiting for had arrived.
“I want to see people crying now, hahaha” the black-robed figure laughed very loudly. “I want those hypocrites to be wiped out from here soon, hahaha” again, he laughed sinisterly.
“I can't wait to slice his ears, gouge his eyes, chop his head off, everyone! I want to do everything! Unfortunately that stupid Seto Wijaya died very quickly. I haven't had time to torture him. Cih!”
The man took his small knife. Put it back as sharp as possible. “I can't wait to see the blood mixed with tears,” sharpen the knife again, “I can't wait, I can't wait, hahah”
***
The Frank and Wijaya families agree to depart for the event in one car. The place of worship is the same and not too far away.
“Beauty once you Lia,”
“Sweet Mum,” error Rey.
“Thank you aunt,” reply Lia.
Bima today became a driver, because his troops used to help him on Christmas vacation. Nina and Lisa are on the second bench, while Lia and Rey are at the back.
“Today is an important day for me,”
“Not just for you, for everyone. It's Christmas,” reply Lia.
Rey sighed, “when today I was eleven years old, you have no intention to greet me?’’ ask Rey.
“Ah, why not tell from yesterday, I will be able to prepare a gift for you.” Sesal Lia's.
“Not necessary, just say congratulations is enough,”
“Really?’’ ask Lia sparkling.
“Em.” Lia saw the three old men in front busy with their conversation and
it didn't seem like she was too concerned about her conversation with Rey.
“Happy birthday Rey,” whispered.
“Thank you sweet lady,”
The cup!
Lia kissed Rey's right cheek and quickly turned her face towards the street and hid her smile.
Rey who was still surprised but happy was unable to hide her expression. He wanted to scream, really. But he remembered, he was still sane.
Lia's smile turned gloomy when she accidentally saw a car parallel to them open the car's door glass. It looks like the girl knows. Lia clenched her hands. The shadow of her accident with the family, made her eyes heat up and wanted to cry. “Yes God, what else is this?”
For a moment he thought. “My father was killed right on my birthday. Rey is having a birthday too. Don't-don't.”.
