Bitter Rendezvous

A man walked along a small dike in the middle of wheat farm. He sometimes wagged his hand and greeted some people who were busy to clean the farm from grass. With a big bundle of fresh grass on his shoulder, he walked very carefully on the narrow and slippery dike. His own sweat wet his strong and powerful body. The sun radiated hotly but he never mind it because the sun helped to grow the farm and the grass for his cows.
He kept walking toward the building across the wheat farm. As he walked, the wheat leaves spread across the path and he pushed him aside with his left arm.
He stopped in front of the fence in the end of the dike. There across the fence, was the building he walked for with its old wood wall and large yard around it. He walked through the fence and entered to the building.
“Hi guys, how are you? Sorry, your breakfast is late today” He spoke while putting down the grass he carried. He never got answer but he like to greet them every day.
“Eat much! After this, I had to clean the farm. I’ll be back in the afternoon to take your milk. He kept talking while dividing the grass for the cows.
The cows seemed understand what he said. They ate the grass as the man put it in front of them. Seeing the cows ate the grass greedily, a satisfied smile came out on the man’s lips.
“Good. Eat much and give me lot of milk. I need money from your milk. I am homesick. Three years apart from home is really a serious sadness. I miss all I had leaved and I want to repay all I had leaved after this”.
After talking with his cows, the man took his sickle. He grinded it, then walked out toward the wheat farm next to the yard of the building. When he reached the wheat farm, he stopped. He looked around for a while. A few second then, he jumped to the wheat farm and disappeared into the wheat.

Eliza Pratiwi sat in the edge of her bed while looking out to the small pine forest beyond. There, she could hear the sound of the stream of Queen River. Her memory was flashback to the past time. Under the rain and thunder, she saw herself played water with a man. They were wet but happy. They used to play and swim in that river. There was a pine tree in the edge of the river, where they used to take rest. They made a cradle from rope under the tree. Accompanied by the sound of the stream, the singing of bird and the blossom flower, they used to sing songs, laughed and cried together in that place. There was the place they shared everything and the place they declared a promise of love.
“Oh My God, what am I doing? I have a new life now. Why should I remember the past?” she spoke to herself. She shook her head while smiling and went to the bathroom.
The rain had stopped when a horn of car rang in front of Eliza’s house. A good-looking man sat in the driving seat waiting for Eliza. He gave a smile when Eliza came out from her house.
”Good morning Eliza. You are wonderful today” The man greeted Eliza as she reached the car.
“Morning Dion. Stop threat me so. You never give up uh?” Eliza laughed.
“Never. You know that. It’s really hard to win you heart, fkwasn’t it?” the man called Dion also laughed.
“I know” Eliza smiled.
That the way why she loved him so much. She remembered three years ago, Dion tried to get her love but she didn’t open yet her heart to someone else after her boyfriend leaved her. Dion never give up. He did all he could do to attract her. Leaved by her boy, she fell into depression and suicide treatment. Dion came to amuse her and brought her a new life. When Eliza was sad and cried, Dion appeared to change it into happiness and laugh. If she was in fear and loneliness, Dion brought her strength for her soul. That was why she couldn’t lose or apart from him anymore. Not for the second time, she thought. Therefore, after waiting for one year, Eliza accepted Dion’s love.
“Here we go. We are in campus now my princess” Dion’s voice broke Eliza’s dream. He parked his car and opened the car’s door for Eliza. Then, they walked together into their campus.

An old Chevrolet stopped in the edge of road beside the wheat farm. The birds that were eating the wheat ran away as the car door opened. A little blonde girl got off from the car, followed by a young girl. The young girl smiled looking at the large farm in front of her. As the wind blew, she closed her blue eyes and felt the smell of wheat came in her nose.
“Come on Ms. Evelyn. This way” The little girl took her arm and led her to the small dike in the middle of the farm.
The dike was slippery and they walked carefully. They sometimes jumped to avoid the hole. Few minutes then, they arrived in the end of the dike and a yard crossed their sight.
“There is my father’s husbandry. I guess my Odd Brother is feeding the cows there” The little girl pointed the building in the middle of the yard.
Then, the little girl ran to the building “Odd Brother! Where are you?” She yelled.
Hearing someone called him, the man inside the building stopped on his work. His face changed into a curious mimic. He knew the voice. Carla Rake, the daughter of Rake Douglas, the owner of the husbandry and the wheat farm who he lived with, owned the voice. He ran to the door “Yeah, I am here Carla,” He shouted while opening the door. A little girl stood in front of the door smiled at him.
“Hi, Naughty girl, what are you doing here?” The man asked the girl.
“I am not naughty. I am a good girl” the little girl showed her disappointed face.
“Okay, good girl” The man amused her. He took her hands hugged her and kissed her forehead.
The girl smiled while closing her nose “You are bad smell, Odd Brother” She laughed.
“That’s Cow’s perfume,” The man laughed also.
“Are you both laughed at me?” a voice broke their laugh.
The man turned around slowly. A beautiful smile from a pretty face fetched his view.
“Evelyn Rose? Why are you here?” The man asked clumsily.
“Evan Adam, do you forget that this is my hometown? I had finished my study in Canberra and I am back to my home now. Today, I came to visit you. Long time no see, right?” The young girl called Evelyn answered.
“Welcome home Evelyn” The man said.
“Well Evan. Come on. I miss the way we fed and squeezed the milk” Evelyn took Evan’s arm and pulled him into the building.
Carla had been inside first. Acting like her father, she moved around to watch and checked the cows one by one. “Good job, Evan” she imitated her father’s sentences.
Evan smiled “Thank you Miss. Douglas”
All laughed seeing Carla’s action.

****

It was late in the afternoon when Evan, Evelyn and Carla arrived at the village where they lived. They passed the gate written, “Welcome to The Divine Home”. It was a small isolated village about thousand miles from the capital city of Australia in the north. The nearest town was “Great Hour” 350 miles from Divine Home. Evan remembered 3 years ago, when he was the first time opened his eyes after sleeping for almost a month, he could count the number of houses there. Years after years, the house added two fold.
Carla and Evan got off from the car when Mrs. Rake Douglas waited in front of the door smiling at them. Evelyn took permission to go home. She turned her Chevrolet and drove it to a two floors house near to the God’s Hand Hospital. It was a small hospital where Evan treated after he got an accident. The one who found him collapsed near the estuary of River Angel was Mr. Rake. Evan was on duty as student exchange when a big wave capsized his ship and casted him away in that small village. At first, he didn’t remember anything. He only found himself lied on the bed with medicine aromatic around him. The doctor concluded that he got temporary amnesia.
Mr. Rake Douglas family treated him like their family. He regarded Evan as his son. Evelyn Rose, Mr. Rake’s neighbor was the one, who looked after her in the hospital, visited Evan every day. She brought him looking around the village. Evan then, fell in love to Evelyn but he never expressed it. Evelyn also looked happy with him. She taught Evan how to feed and took the milk of the cows.
A half year tortured with his feeling, Evan decided to say his love to Evelyn. That was the sound of River Angel became the witness. In the edge of the river, when the sun was going to set in the west, Evan expressed his love.
“I’d like to tell you something, Eve” his voice trembled.
“Yes. Just tell me” Evelyn smiled.
Evan rose from his seat and stood in front of Evelyn. “Would you like to be my girlfriend?” He said nervously.
“Ha ha ha “Evelyn laughed loudly.
Why are you laughing? Is it wrong to love somebody?” Evan protested.
“No, I just never guessed you’d say that. I thought you‘d never” Evelyn rose from her seat. She took water on her hand and washed her face.
“So, what is your answer?” Evan said.
Evelyn took a long breathe. She looked at Evan deeply. “Evan, I can’t…”Evelyn paused.
“Just tell me Eve, I am ready to hear everything, even though I never expected it,” Evan said in desperation. He almost didn’t have power to speak louder.
Evelyn walked back to her seat. “Evan, I can’t refuse you because I love you too” She smiled.
Evan was surprised with the answer but he was very happy. He stood and screamed loudly but unfortunately, he stepped too close with the edge of the river. He lost his balance and fell down into the river. Evelyn laughed at him. Evan also laughed at his fool.
Their happiness was very short. They enjoyed their relation only three months. Evan was broken hearted when Evelyn suddenly came with tears on her eyes. She was sent by her parents to study in a university in the Capital city for three years. She told to Evan to look for another girl if he couldn’t wait her.
Leaved by Evelyn, Evan’s life changed into loneliness and sadness. He got depression. He acted like crazy man. One day, he came to the River Angel. He dreamt there. He laughed alone and screamed loudly in the edge of the river. He suddenly slipped and fell down. His head crashed a hard stone and made him collapse. After that incident, Evan’s memory was back little by little. Mr. Rake and Mrs. Rake decided to return his wallet that they got from evan’s pocket when they found him in the estuary of River Angel. Inside was Evan’s picture with a pretty girl and a card identity. That really helped him getting his memory. Finally, two years after that incident, he got back his memory. He then worked hard to get money that he planned to use to come back to his real family where he supposed to be there by that time.

Dion Kamajaya helped Eliza out from the car. Eliza walked with a fold on her eyes. They walked into their favorite restaurant where they used to visit.
“Now open your blind fold” Dion asked when they were in a room.
As Eliza opened the fold, she couldn’t speak seeing what she saw. A dining table with meals on it decorated in pink suit filled her eyes. “Oh my Goodness, is this all for me?” she smiled at Dion. Her face was very happy. She never guessed that Dion had managed a candle light dinner for her.
“Close your eyes” Dion said after Eliza sat on her chair.
“Come on Dion, What else?” Eliza smiled. She wanted to object but she couldn’t fight against her curiosity to know the next surprise from Dion. She closed her eyes. As she opened her eyes, she froze. She couldn’t believe what she saw. A diamond ring stack on it box lied on the table.
Dion took the ring and lifted Eliza’s hand. “Eliza Pratiwi, will you marry me?”
Eliza was still silent. “Yes” She answered shortly.

****

“Are you sure with your decision?”Mrs. Rake asked Evan while putting two cups of coffee on the table.
“I have to, mom. I have family there and I have leaved them in worries about me for many years,” Said Evan bitterly.

    The Sound of Death

    Title : The Sound of Death

    Characters :

    1. Lavilo 5. Ahjum

    2. Lavila 6. Iwan

    3. Qwill 7. Ajar

    4. Fiand

    Summary :

    Qwill and his friends had just moved to Iwan’s house. That was an old house with a hidden secret inside. Qwill and friends didn’t realize that there was a powerful figure noticed them every night. In the first night, the signal of the danger came to warn them. It came through a sound of music which they heard in sad melody, but they didn’t care. They thought, it was a sound of music from the neighbor’s house.

    The next day, Qwill found an old guitar in a ware behind the house. As he played the guitar, the wind suddenly blew faster and brought cool weather. Qwill was surprised but he kept bringing the guitar inside the house. At night, Fiand also played the guitar. A second after he picked the strings, the wind blew faster, the cool weather filled the room, the curtain in the window wagged and a sound of music in sad rhythm appeared slowly. They fell into silence. Then, they realized that there was something wrong with the guitar. Didn’t want to get more problem, they decided to go to bed and planned to return the guitar back to the warehouse in the next following day. In the room, when Qwill had just slept for five minutes, he got a nightmare. A black figure of man came to his dream and asked for his guitar. The figure was very angry and he chopped Qwill’s neck hardly. Qwill woke up while holding his neck panicky. He felt pain on his throat like it wasn’t a dream. In few minutes then, Fiand screamed asking for help while holding his throat. It seemed like he tried to release something from his neck. Qwill woke him up by wagging Fiand’s body hardly. When Fiand woke up, they knew that they got a same dream. Then, they ran to see the guitar in the living room but they didn’t find it. They were very surprise but they also thanked. They thought that the owner of the guitar had taken his guitar and wouldn’t disturb them anymore.

    In the third night, they got more surprising experience. When they were gathering in the living room, suddenly their ear caught the sound of music again. The sound that they thought won’t they heard anymore. They all fell into silence. The sound faded slowly and stopped. As the sound of music disappeared, another sound shocked them. “Braak!!!” There was something fell down in the room. They ran to the room and they saw a guitar lied down on the floor. The guitar was back. Qwill checked the guitar and he saw a note in the bottom of the guitar. Ahjum read the note: “The Sound of Death: You Pick, I’ll pick up you. The note really frightened them. Iwan asked to check again the guitar. In the stomach of the guitar, they found an old scroll. The scroll was a brief letter. Then they read it.

    ”Too cruel… All the devils around…I hate them all…

    I want to be a good man but no one received me…

    Okay, I accept this cruelness… but I will not stop.

    I heritage my soul…”The Sound of Death

    Who pick it; I will come to pick up you

    It is time to revenge… you play, you die”

    _Lavilo_

    After reading the letter, they knew that the guitar was a cursed guitar and they were in a danger situation. So, they decided to leave the house for a while and asked Iwan to meet his uncle to get information about all they had experienced.

    Three days later, they gathered again in the house to hear what Iwan got from his uncle. From iwan’s story they knew that three years ago, the house was rented by a man namely Lavilo. He was a single man. He had a guitar and loved his guitar so much. He played guitar loudly every night in midnight. All his neighbors around felt bothered with the noise. They warned Lavilo play softly. He ignored all his neighbor’s complain. One day, he joined an audition as guitarist in a competition but he failed. He fell into depression. It caused him played guitar crazily in the night until the dawn came. He did it almost every night. The neighbors planned to stop Lavilo. When, Lavilo was not at home, some people came to the house and broke Lavilo’s guitar. They broke all the strings and left the house before Lavilo came. No one knew what was going on when Lavilo came back to his house and saw his guitar. The neighbors only knew that the house became empty after that incident. They did not see Lavilo anymore. No one knew where he was. He disappeared. But one week later, every night, people heard sound of music but they did not know who played it. The most surprising was one by one the person who broke Lavilo’s guitar were found die near the warehouse. Since the dead bodies found, no more people wanted to rent the house. However, one day, unlucky couple of marriage who didn’t know the story rented the house. One week later, people found them died while hugging the guitar. Iwan’s uncle decided to take the guitar and threw far away from the house, but it used to be back. Iwan’s uncle then, put the guitar into the warehouse and locked it. Since no one played the guitar, no one died near the house anymore even though the sound of music still listened in the night.

    After hearing the story, they knew that their life was at risk. The guitar was back and it would take victims. They didn’t have any choice. They promised to face all the possibility that might be happened.

    In the next following day, Fiand and friends got a guest. They all were shocked when the guest said that his name was Lavila and he looked for his brother Lavilo. He said that Lavilo came to his dream and needed help to be free from his avenged. He also gave a clue that the guitar should be returned to the warehouse between 1 until 3 A.M on Friday. That really brought fresh air for Fiand and friends.

    On Thursday night, Qwill, Fiand, Ajar, Ahjum, Iwan and Lavila stayed up. They waited for the time to return the guitar. When they were waiting, suddenly Lavilo appeared in his devil shape. He was very angry. Qwill and friends couldn’t run away. They fell into fighting. Lavilo was too strong for them. He smashed all the people around him. Fiand, Ajar, Ahjum, Iwan , Qwill and lavila got strike hardly. Lavilo was getting angrier. He was ready to kill Qwill and Fiand. Fortunately, Qwill got the guitar and he beat Lavilo with the guitar. As Lavilo saw his guitar wanted to be broken, he disappeared. Lavila commanded to bring the guitar to the warehouse. With all the power left, all ran to the warehouse immediately. As the guitar put on its place, suddenly something moved in the floor. A rectangle hole filled their eyes. Inside the hole, there was a coffin lied. When they opened it, they saw a skeleton in dressed. After discussing with Lavila, they decided to bury Lavilo’s skeleton near the warehouse. They put “The sound of Death” with him into his grave. On the grave, they also planted a small pine tree and named it as “Lavilo Pine”.

    Few days after that harrowing night, they repair the warehouse. No more sound of music found behind the house but in the living room. They had bought a new guitar. They named it “Sound of Guitar 2” to commemorate Lavilo. The entire story about the scary night itself never told to anyone else. They kept it secret as a harrowing memory in their life. They never talked about that even though the shadow of it still stacked in their memory. “The Lavilo Pine” and “The Sound of Death 2” was enough for them to remember the panic mimic of their own face. They grew in that house as the pine grew in silence. Deep inside their heart, they hope Lavilo rested in peace in his new life.
