Mirror the time

·   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.
