· Eba’s
point of view
High
school years such as junk television, which has left by my grandmother to us. The television which only makes the
bitter memories of the soil surface after a long dormant. All become vacant in
the direction of my time. The time I spend just for the vain things.
The misunderstandings were continuing for a long enough.. Too old to make my mind blurry
just because thinking about it. Any memories that I keep just memories in vain
to save. Meaning of memories will come only when we lose one of the most
dominant memories. However, when it loses starting to come to pick up one of
its parts, it would be very ill. Illness that requires long time to treat it.
In fact, there will be no cure. As long as possible pain that dwells too much
pain for that long would the terrace. She will not realize that what she left
behind for this is just empty. Just a word that is less meaningful in
describing the last moment. Not the meaning of these memories for everyone
coveted. Only disappointment was profound. More and more in my mind, the pain
radiated to all directions. During this time spent, it has shown a tragic story
of the old crap and boasting, the greater the trust that given. Everyone says
life is like a blank paper. Paper written for the life we live. All it says
is a scratch stroke events during this experience. However, by accident that
there are other people in our lives is very involved in the process. More and
more graffiti made by the greater of their sense of dependence on it.
Increasingly felt all went into a natural habit. Not be felt for a feeling it's
not out of mind is beginning to fill. Time to make the changes step by step
with all the deception of his face. I do not understand and do not want to
understand everything they do. I, at that time just did what I could. Everyone
said I was closed and the children who did not want to know anything. It was
true I did not want to know the affairs of men, it made me want to vomit. Their
affairs makes me nauseous. All the same, just a matter of love if not just a
matter of social jealousy. The problem is the same thing every time they complain
with a very loud voice. As with problem of family, though I do not want to know.
They are forced with statements that do not want me to hear. I already said I
do not want to know!
· Beginning
of precious experience
The sad Monday. Once again, Eba’s
father left home early in the morning. She wondered what she would do. Just Eba
and her sister were at home. Once again, she did not breakfast. Whether her
sister breakfast or not she did not know. She went straight to school on foot
as usual. Carrying a very heavy bag with a total weight about 5 kg. Out of habit,
she did not realize that it was very heavy. She had to prepare for her exams
well if she wanted to go to college. Whatever she could do as long as it was cool
and not boring. Note that was smaller than a month she prepared yesterday was
the most exciting media to get rid of her weary on the bus. But it was all just
broke out when there was a guy who suddenly fell at her feet. It was really
embarrassing. But even that weird, he sat next to Eba with the face of
innocence. She did not like to sit next to the window. That made her
concentration broken when should see another vehicle passing by in her eyes. She tried to ignore him by reading her note
that contains a variety of important matters related subjects that were
difficult to understand. It was annoying, She could feel that he just kept
looking at her. When She returned to see, he had turned gaze toward the window.
However, this time she intended to continue to be scolded because he saw her.
Very annoying. Made her mood surged to the highest level. Before reaching the
school, she intended to go down because it could not help. Better off than did
not concentrations at all. Anger would made her not had the spirit to did anything.
She decided to go down in the second turn before getting to school. She could
see that the guy sitting beside her with confusion. Feeling satisfied and
happy. Sorrow made her did all her activity without feeling. She walked with a
flat expression without any smile.
Eba
Yuzuki was late to class. All the students looked at to her quizzically. Walk
with heads held high and without a smile. She did not look around and immediately
sat on the bench. Looked very quiet. The sky was overcast with puddles
everywhere. Everything felt like a mirror of Eba’s mood. One by one, she spend
her textbooks. Not realized by Eba that from that day, her life and mind will
change. The recess bell rang. Eba bring a lunch and a little note in his
pocket. Today she brought up her sister's lunch at home. She sent E-mail to his
sister. (NB. Most of the Japanese population using e-mail to send messages) but
no reply.
"Sis Hana,
I brought your lunch,
I will wait
on the second floor", but not returned. Eba Yuzuki
Has a sister named Hana, Yuzuki Hana.
·
A
strange
girl
Rest
time 20 minutes
remaining. Having finished lunch she read her note. Until suddenly,
a beautiful girl
with beautiful long
hair that unravel approached.
Without saying anything, she sat in front of
Eba and look at her. Eba did not care about
the girl. She only saw a glimpse
then continue reading her note. The girl was upset and
took note of
Eba read quickly.
Eba was standing with two box lunch
in her hand and then walked away from her. The girl was immediately followed
Eba and withdrew his hand. The girl's return Eba’s note and then walked away.
Eba very surprised by her behavior. Eba thought if she was familiar with Eba.
Eba was very curious about the girl. It was the first time for Eba a rounded
the school for more than 2 years. Not unexpectedly Eba school where learning was
vast. She did not realize that during this school has changed. Canteen that was
once located on the north gym now moved next to the school garden. Some Sakura
trees also have in cut and replaced with a small fish pond with beautiful
flowers all around. The school was very beautiful. During this time she never
even noticed what was in school. She only came to learn and after the bell rang
she would return home. The more she runs the strangeness feels bigger. She was
already almost three years of schooling here suddenly felt unfamiliar with what
she saw. As if she was a new student that did not know anything. She looked at
his watch, 5-minute break was complete again. She had to get back to class
before the teacher arrived. She ran to his class, and suddenly she stopped. She
felt there was something odd about the way that she went through, before she
felt that she should not pass this way. She was supposed to pass through the
cafeteria. She just kept silent, what exactly did she do? She did not even know
the way back to class. For more than 10 minutes she just stood still in place.
All students have entered into their respective classes. Well, Eba aware of it.
but she stood silent, as though there were many things that she thought at the
time. like a dream, as if she felt all this as just a dream. She closed her
eyes and hoping after opening it, it will return to normal. Eba
closed his eyes, breezy wind blowing her long hair. Real silence made
him feel he
did not want to open his eyes. The wind was
breezy with a
fragrant aroma of Cosmos flower.
Slowly she opened her eyes. She was very surprised
when a boys figure
in front of her. He look up at Eba.
"What
are you doing here?" The boy asked.
"Umm,,,
a I '.
"You lost?" Said the boy was.
Eba
only silence. With a sudden the boy pulled her hand and ran.
Eba
spontaneously shouted, "What are you doing, release me,,,!!".
The
boy stopped and looked toward the Eba. "You do not want to go to
class?", He said.
",,,
Um yes", Eba said.
"Then
follow me!" He shouted.
With
forced she followed him. Already more than 15 minutes of the lesson they had
just entered the classroom. All the students looked at Eba and that boy. They
were very surprised. Without knowing, they were still holding hands. Eba
immediately removed her hand. All the girls were whispering after seeing Eba
and that boy were holding hands. Eba was not thinking about it. In Eba’s mind,
she really wanted to know about the girl that bothered her during lunch, a
strange girl. He decided
to look
for that girl after
the rest tomorrow.
·
Second meeting
Eba
was waiting for public buses. Went
to home was more
effective by public bus, because in addition it was too cheap, she can also take advantage of time on the trip to
read her note. Yet
somehow, she felt these days was very tiring
for her. As usual, she always sat
a chair away from the window, and let the
empty seats near
the window. She accidentally
fell asleep on the bus. Eba’s home takes about 1 hour.
And also, the driver
had to know her.
If there were books
or other items left
behind, he would save it and then
returned to the Eba. So it
did not matter if Eba asleep, the driver
would tell everyone
else to wake Eba. Eba looked very tired.
She was seen sleeping soundly. As long as she slept, she dreamed about
her grandmother. Eba sleept in the lap of her
grandmother. Grandma rubbed
his head and said to Eba "Eba,, my
grandson, are you tired? You want
a break? Grandma is
very sad. Grandma wants,,, ". Eba
woke up quickly. He wondered what my grandmother
wanted. Without her knowing it was next to an existing one. Eba disheveled her
hair. She saw once more to the person sitting next to her. And it turns out she
was the boy that afternoon. Eba to remember back, it looked like he was ever
seen the boy before. That's right, he was ever seen him in,,,, in which? she
forgot. She saw the boy once more. The boy smiled at Eba. Eba immediately
apologized and bowed her head, "I'm sorry". The boy was silent and
scratched his head. He did not understand why Eba apologized to him suddenly.
"Hey. . hey wait, you apologize
for what? ", the boy was asked to Eba
"You are the boy that this morning on the
bus and at school didn’t you?", Eba said.
"Uhmm,, well yes, I fell on the
bus this morning and that. . . ".
"Enough,,! No need to be
continued ", Eba interrupted him. The boy smiled. Bus stop, it was time to
Eba to down.
"You come down here
Yuzuki".
"Yes, eeehh you know my
name".
"Of course, we do a
class".
"Then I'll see you
tomorrow". Eba said
"Hey you do not want to know my
name?" The boys shout it out loud and make the other passengers looked at
us. Eba ignored him. Eba straight off the bus and walked home.
"My name is Keitaro
Heiji", he shouted at Eba. Eba turned and saw him at the door. He smiled
and waved at Eba.
"I'll see you tomorrow .... Ok!".
Eba nodded.
· Memories
That night the moon looks bigger.
Surrounded by many beautiful star. Eba could see clearly through the window. A
desk near the window made her could see the beautiful sky. Eba’s room was on
the second floor with windows onto the street. So that, she could see his
father who had just come home from work. Sometimes her sister complained to
their father to change their room. But her father ignored him. Eba themselves
did not want to move. When little, her sister did not want to sleep in the room
now occupied by Eba because it was being too cramped, and Eba finally moved
into her sister's room. And now she slept in her sister's room until now.
although more cramped, but the scenery was beautiful. Eba could see what the
next door neighbor. And if she's lucky, she could clearly see the moon like
tonight. She stared at the sky very long time. More and more beautiful views.
She raised his hand as if to hold the moon and stars.
"Dinner is ready,,,!",
Hana screamed loudly and immediately opened the door Eba. Eba very shocked and
very angry. After know that Eba very angry, her sister ran down the stairs. Eba
was only a small laugh to see her sister's behavior. Her sister was like a
child. Eba went downstairs for dinner. Her father and sister were waiting Eba
below. Kare was the menu of their dinner. Very tasty. The atmosphere was fun.
Her sister Fetched rice for Eba and her dad. Then they ate together. Dad asked
them, how about their school today. Directly Eba’s sister told to her father
about her school very long. About learning, about the handsome teacher and also
about his friend's birthday. She did not allow time for Eba, to talk about
school. Eba sister talked so long so she did not eat his dinner. Their father
then told her to spend her dinner and then asked about Eba,s school. Eba smiled
and she started to think about what she wanted to tell to her father. Suddenly
she stopped eating. She recalled that the day's events was shameful if she told
to her father. She saw her father was waiting for a response from Eba. Finally,
she just said that all was fine. Eba hastily spent his dinner. Her sister and
father were very surprised with Eba. Highly suspicious behavior. After finished
eating Eba headed straight to her room. She laid on her bed. She began to
remember one by one the events that she experienced this afternoon. And then
fell asleep
· Beginning
of the problem.
The year festival, which was held
this year, was very festive. This was the first and last annual festival for
Eba. She wanted to enjoy this celebration with pleasure. Previously she had
never participated in this event. She preferred to accompany her father in the
home to celebration at her school. But this
year was different, she has a desired to feel what the others felt during his
student days. She also was curious about the girl
from yesterday. Each class made their own creations. Some were selling
Okonomiyaki, sushi, knick-knacks, clothes, flowers, creations and other hands.
There also were making their classes like café, a haunted house and fun event.
All had their own creativity. That night Eba wore Dambo doll shirt which her
father bought yesterday. Unravel hair and wears glasses. She looked very pretty
and looked like a junior high school children. Eba walked around the whole
class. Eba saw a lot of things there. Her sister kept the flower shop. She also
stopped by to see her sister. She walked to the store Sushi. She passed through the ceramic shop,
and she was interested to see it. She looked at the cute ceramics that were there. She could also see
the process of making ceramics. However, she inadvertently knocked over and
broke one of the ceramics on display there. A voice so loud, until you could
hear it in the downstairs. Spontaneous course all students and teachers who
were there looking at Eba. Eba very
scared and confused. Eba picked up pottery shards that littered the floor.
Eba wanted to cry, until there was a seniors who helped clean it up. She did
not dare say anything. Eba mixed feelings, regret, fear, and sadness.
"It's okay, do not worry, you
okay?" He asked
"Yes, I'm okay", I replied
" my name Kenzai Hiromi, you
can call me Hiromi",
It
is the first time he met with her senior, Hiromi. Meeting that would make all his life changed. A brief meeting
between Eba and Hiromi,
was making them a little familiar. Although they
were in different classes. But at least Eba had
one good friend.
· Introductions that cause problems
Class hours completed, Eba intended
to go home. She cleaned her desk from a scattering of books. She found a pack
and a paper in her desk drawer. Package from Hiromi. She told Eba to send the
package to the address she wrote, because she was being punished for cleaning
the toilet. Unthinkingly, Eba was happyly to do it. She wanted to be a reliable
friend. Eba went to the address that written on the paper. In a hurry because
time was running late she intended to stay after giving the shipment. 3rd floor
apartment Sagamihara area number 2. Eba ran into a man in the leather jacket
that looks suspicious. She accidentally saw an oval symbol with small
ornaments, ornaments around it that was not foreign to her. Sure enough, it was
a symbol detectives who used to help his father work. Eba stoped her walk and
looked at the package she was carrying. She opened it. And how surprised Eba,
it turned out the contents from the package was the package of drugs. At the
same time, she could feel the footsteps of a man who had seen her. Without
thinking long she threw the package and ran. Immediately, that person pursuit
of Eba. Eba ran with all his strength, she breathlessly kept running. The man
was getting closer to capturing Eba. Eba despair. She turned the direction of
his run to an unused house and hide there. Exactly
at 7:15, Eba pained
in the leg as she
ran. Hungry and thirsty. She
did not expect to be like this. She could not think
clearly. Fear, anger,
hate, all in one.
With physical conditions
such now Eba may
not be returned.
Besides, the detective would have to call her father. It was not safe to
go home. But Eba
very hungry and
tired. He could only keep silence and tears,
holding her pain in her stomach. Did not feel she was
asleep in the empty house. In
her sleep she dreamed of meeting with her grandmother. "I wish you strong,
Eba. Just keep running forward ", Eba dreamed of sleep in the lap of her
grandmother.
Hearing his daughter involvement in
drugs, he tried to call her cell phone. But not answered. With a rush he got
out and looked for her. He contacted all securities officer who served that
night to look for Eba. Eba’s sister very worried because Eba not home yet. Moreover,
his father let alone in a hurry to
leave the house without saying anything to her.
That night was a dark night for Eba. Being in
a dark empty house, and engaged with a very serious problem. Suddenly the door
the empty house was opened. Heard footsteps approaching. Eba very scared, but
couldn’t do anything about it. Opened her eyes she couldn’t afford. Only be
silent. She did not expect to get caught easily and quickly.
~~~
Eba
opened her eyes, so blinded by the open window. She could not see clearly.
"Am
I in jail? If true, I think prison is not a bad place ", Eba murmured and
smiling.
"Eba,,,
you okay?", A strange voice.
"Daddy,,,?
', Eba said.
"Is
she okay brother?"
"I
dunno, it looks like he's not healthy"
"I'll
get porridge for her"
Eba
who was lying down, could only hear two people talking. She did not know at all
who they were and where she was now.
"Eba
wake up, you must
be hungry", help Eba up. She looked up at him.
She did not know him at all.
"she's awake?" Ask someone else. Eba
tried to look and make sure who he was. Eba
very surprised, she knew that face. He
was Heiji, Keitaro
Heiji her class mates.
Immediately she got out of bed. She wanted to get out of
there. However, with the condition that such ,
she fell. Forced,
she had to stay at Heiji’s home.
Then Heiji feed Eba.
"Finished,, go to sleep",
Heiji told Eba to sleep.
"Yes, thank you,"
"Okay we're friends
right?", Heiji heading for the exit door.
"Hey wait,,"
"what,?"
"You do not ask me,,?"
"No, now go to sleep",
Heiji straight out.
With in pain Eba immediately cough
Heiji. She wanted to know why Heiji helped her.
"Why you help me?"
"I did not help you. . .!!
"
"Then why ...?"
"... Go to sleep!", He
snapped Eba
Eba was still weak then suddenly
dropped, but Heiji could catch her. Eba could not stand long with those
conditions. Heiji carried her to bed. He told Eba to rest.
"Rest
for a while"
"Why?",
Eba shed tears was she stand for this. Heiji was silent.
"I
knew him quite well, he is not,, Hiromi is a good boy? Is not he Heiji??
", Eba Heiji asked in a voice stammering.
"You
are too innocent", Heiji said
"It
is true, I was very stupid, I'm very stupiiiiiid...!", Eba screaming and
crying.
Heiji
quickly hug and soothe Eba. For a while Eba could silent.
"I
know how you feel", Heiji calmed Eba. Heard it Eba cried. Eba cried in the
arms of Heiji. Eba somehow felt safe in there. With all was Heiji did. She felt
that Heiji would help her. Eba’s mind began to calm. She told all to Heiji.
About Hiromi and that drugs. Then Heiji told his brother. Heiji's brother was
security guard that was working that night. He agreed
to help Eba. Eba decided to contact Hiromi. She wanted to meet and told
him to confess everything. Eba and Heiji went to Hiromi’s house that night.
Heiji actually wanted to go alone. However, Eba insisted to participate. She
did not want to burden others. At 2:00 am, Eba and Heiji almost at Hiromi’s
home. Unfortunately, they saw two detectives who were in front of Hiromi’s
house. Luckily
they did not see
Eba and Heiji.
Eba and Heiji
ran to hide.
Eba accidentally tripped
and fell. Eba
sprained foot. Heiji
quickly carried her.
"Heiji,
put me down".
"You
want to get caught ...!".
"But,,,".
"Never
mind,,, just silent." Eba feel guilty at Heiji. Heiji must be involved in
the problem. That
made
Eba sad and guilty.
"Thank
you,,", said Eba
"No
problem", Heiji declare with a smile.
Eba
and Heiji decided to hide until the detectives went from Hiromi’s house.
They
waited for hours until
the detectives gone. At 6 am, detectives went
from Hiromi’s house. Eba and Heiji immediately went to Hiromi’s
house, but it was locked. Suddenly there was a boy
who came.
"Hey
what are you doing here?"
"We
look for Hiromi, do you know where is he?",
Heiji asked that boy. "Of course," the boy
smiled.
Eba impatiently asked, "where
is he now?".
"He is now in ... behind
me", he laughs at gunpoint toward Eba. followed by three boy who then took
their hand by force. Hiromi came, with innocent face looking towards Eba.
"Hiromi, what are you
doing!", Heiji yelled at him.
"Sorry, but I have to do
it",
"You must know we are all
suffering," said the boy who carried a gun.
"What suffering ??, your own
that makes you suffer", Heiji said. Eba only silence, she looked very
surprised.
"Plaak ...!", One boy
slapped Heiji with a very loud.
"Heiji ,, you okay?", Eba
screamed loudly. Make the people around saw it. They immediately took Eba and
Heiji to a place where there would be no one who would see them. Hiromi
deliberately stayed at home and in the key so he could not to interfere.
"Hey why do I ...", Hiromi
asked but was interrupted by children that brought a handgun.
"silence,,,!!
you will only
interfere my job ",
"Did
you promise not to hurt them,,,!", Shouted
Hiromi. They
did not care about Hiromi and went straight. Until in an uninhabited building,
they banded Eba and Heiji.
"I actually wanted to kill
you", he said.
"What are you doing ...!",
Heiji shout
"I
do not care about you. Dead or alive. I want you to
know it feels to lose the most precious thing .. ".
"What
do you want haa,,", Eba said.
"We
want,,,?,,, We want
to cut your hand, Emh,,, or your legs?",
A child who takes
the gun laugh a very loud.
"isn’t
it nice,,?"
"Why you do things like this haa,,,",
Heiji said aloud.
"Because you have killed one of
our most precious",
"Kill,,,,?", Eba said
"Is not you a member of the
family of the damned police, they have killed our leader.
”we
will not forgive you all. We will
avenge our brother
",
Heiji
tried to resist but
he could not. That made them angry and anxious to finish
their work before the police arrived. A boy brought a knife and prepared to cut off the Heiji’s hands.
"Do not,, stop it,, stop it please",
Eba scream very
loudly.
~~~
Hiromi
could not dwell
alone. He knew what
will happen. He tried to get out immediately
and contacted the police immediately for help.
But it was too late, even though Hiromi managed
to contact the police. Hiromi
ran quickly to get
an empty apartment where Hiromi Eba
and kidnapped. Eba
which was just quiet started to cry very
loudly.
"Wait,,!",
A boy who carries
a gun shout
"Why
do not we shoot him with a pistol, a pity if not used, is not it?"
The
boy was getting ready to shoot Heiji. Eba very surprised, he
did not want anything to happen in the Heiji. Heiji
is the only friend who would help him
to this day. Heiji was a good friend.
Very good.
"Door",
the sound of a gun was heard even
outside the apartment. Hiromi could hear
clearly. He quickened his run.
Hiromi opened the door where Eba and Heiji kidnapped.
"Eba,,
Eba,, you okay?",
Heiji shouted with
his hands still tied.
When
Heiji would be shot, Eba tried to protect him
so, she was shot in the hand. Eba’s hands was covered in blood.
Blood came out so much. Eba looked very painful. See that, Hiromi was angry, he
started fighting. Hiromi hit them very hard, repeatedly until they could not
move. Hiromi took that pistol down, and then direct it to them. See that Heiji
directly prohibits Hiromi to do. It was just wasted if Hiromi killed them. Hiromi
approached Eba, and released
her bond.
The police came, directly Hiromi Eba and Heiji carry out the
apartment. Seeing his son was seriously injured, Eba's father immediately requested an ambulance to
come soon. It all felt very heavy and a pain to Eba. It was the
sad and stressful day for her.
"Eba,
you okay?", a
voice that familiar to her.
"Heiji,,?"
"This
father, you okay?"
"Father,,?
I'm fine ".
"ooh,,Thank
God",
All
was very exhausting for Eba. The experience was unpredictable. The experience that made
her stronger. Hiromi has explained everything to the police. The mysterious girl whom she had been looking
for was the younger sister of
their leader who had
been killed. That girl saw Eba and apologized. In fact she was disturbing Eba just to say that problem.
But she did not dare,
and then just silence.
She felt sorry for did not say it
to Eba. Loss of
the most valuable thing was very sick. And that is probably
why they did something like that.
Eba understand. Because
she had experienced that pain. A pain when
grandmother who she loved had to
go. And make their families struggle
broke out just because of estate. That was what made
Eba being a kid who closed. And
maybe that was what made her very innocent. During
it Eba never wanted
to be friends with anyone because she afraid of
to lose. She did
not want to repeat the pain
for the second time. All the action there must be some
reason. Especially to someone whom we care about. Eba had time to think
whether she would
do the same thing if she were in her position. she did not know. maybe he'll do worse than that. Or
she would just shut
up. All problems
were solved. Innocence is good, yet had a
balanced. Eba started to understand that. She started to become a bold figure of a girl. Dare to deny
the wrong and do right. She became good friends with Heiji. They were more
familiar. Eba often come to Heiji’s house just to helped him cooked dinner for
his brother. The most important thing for Eba was a good friend will always be
on the side of good person. So be a good person and good friends with all of
the people to be good. Hatred that she's
been vent
was quietly a big mistake.
All which her
grandmother said
was true.
Be a strong
girl.
