ZODIACS

CHAPTER 3

Kin entered his room. After tidying things up, Kin lay on a single size bed wrapped in black cloth. Kin closed his eyes for a moment enjoying the comfort he had been in for more than a week. From the direction of the speakers connected to the laptop, the song Who Want To Live Forever belongs to the band Queen, his favorite band.

Amidst his comfort, Kin recalled his dream when he was in a coma. For Kin, it was the most real dream he had ever felt in his life. Kin opened his eyes, then directed his gaze to a red box placed on top of the wardrobe. It was the box where she kept the birthday gifts her father had given her.

Kin got up from his bed, walked towards the black-colored wardrobe in the corner of the room, then grabbed the red box located on it. After taking it, the box is placed on a glass table located under the window of the room. His hands became a little dirty from the dust that was stuck in the box.

Kin opened the red box. His large eyes with brown eyes looked at the contents of the box. Kin smiled, what was inside the box had an important meaning in Kin's life.

Kin took a picture from inside the box. Little Kin was blowing out a four-figure candle on a round birthday cake. In the photo, Kin's father, Davin, appears to be to the right of Kin, the position of its foundation slightly bent to compensate for Kin's height. On the left, Wanda is smiling happily watching Kin blow out the candle. While Uncle Bob was standing next to Wanda, he was seen clapping his hands with his mouth open, probably singing a happy birthday song, Kin sat in.

The shape of the lamb doll is not like a doll given by parents in general, which is given for the birthday gift of his fourth child.

The sheep-shaped porcelain doll is quite large, has a length of 30 cm, while the width offset the length of the doll so that the shape resembles a real sheep. The shape of his back is decayed, not curved. His left and right legs have a stocky shape with a posture that resembles the shape of a lion's body. The shape of the face of the sheep doll was like a horse with eyes that resembled the eyes of a starling bird. While the sturdy horn coiled full backward. What makes this lamb doll look more different from dolls in general is, this doll has gold fur and there is a symbol of the constellation of Aries on its forehead.

As a child, Kin named the doll Chrysom. For Wanda, out of the hundreds of choices of names that four-year-olds choose to give to her dolls, of course, the name Chrysom is a difficult name. Wanda had asked Little Kin where he got the name, Kin's answer at that time, “then I wanted to name Duck. But this doll won't because duck is the name of the fowl. This doll herself told me her name was Chrysom” Kin replied back then. Although quite horror, but for Wanda, it is just the answer full of imagination typical of children.

Kin continued to pay attention to the lamb doll, Kin felt that it was very similar to the golden-haired sheep he had met in his dream when in a coma. More amazingly, Kin felt that not once had he met the sheep in a dream. Kin tried to remember where he got the name Chrysom, the name he gave to his doll.
