Redemption

When the light of the bubble of the balloon entered his temple and flooded his mind. He was shocked, seeing flashes of life, which he somehow believed to be a series of past lives of him with Phoenix and Xuan Ti. They are related to each other. And somehow, he remembers the whole life itself from his side

He saw how the first glimpses of life he witnessed. How he suffers when he finds out that the woman, he loves will marry another man. He was angry, jealous, and envious.

Angry because the woman he loved, not being faithful to him, not being faithful to the promise they had made as a child, angry that she fell so easily into the arms of another man besides himself.

Jealous to see how happy the woman he loves is when she is with another man, walking hand in hand. Happy smiling. She had forgotten him that was once present and filled her heart. He was crying in his heart, his heart was sliced ​​by a very sharp dagger.

Envy because the woman he loves will live a happy life with another man, while he has to live a life of suffering, holding grudges, hurt and anger. Jealous that her own family had proposed that they establish love in marriage.

He vented his anger on all objects that were near him. Rocks, trees, all shattered to pieces. He was angry, that all this time he had been trying very hard to get the approval of the tribal chief, and in the end, he became the chief of the tribe himself. He was very happy at that time, imagining that the woman who was always in his heart would soon fill his days. That happiness fills his mind during a trip to the community where the woman he loves lives.

But unfortunately, that happiness had to be dashed, when he had succeeded in claiming the position of tribal chief, when he returned home to collect the promise they had made, when he arrived at the community the woman he loves, but what did he get? Just disappointment, anger, jealousy, and envy.

Of all the feelings he felt peaked, that feeling was transformed into a form of hatred. For that he vowed to destroy the happiness of the woman he loved, to destroy all those who took part in the marriage bond. Destroy the man who has stolen his love. And finally destroy the hope of the woman he loves.

He planned to launch a massacre on the happy day married celebration itself. By killing every inhabitant of the community, burning down their homes without a trace. Scorned vile to the family of the woman he loved. The moment he was about to launch his master plan, his heart felt immeasurable pain, he thought by destroying this woman would make him happy but that didn't happen, what happened was the opposite, there was still a hidden love deep in his heart. Who didn't want to hurt her so brutally. As a result, he changed the original plan by making them believe, by creating the illusion they witnessed, their beloved children, grandchildren, being raped by him and other members of the slaughter.

He stood close beside her as the illusion he created took action, as he watched the tears flow from the eyes of the woman he loved, his palms clasped tightly together, his sharp nails piercing into the flesh of his palms. blood dripped from his fist. he felt no pain from the wound, the pain became numb and dull. At that time, he left the woman. hiding behind embers in the forest behind the community housing. Staying there until the morning jams the community housing which only leaves black ashes.

He walked down the street to the community house, looking for the body of the woman he loved, and he still hoped to find her alive and apologize. But he was too late because, the woman lay limp on the ground, lifeless.

He was crying loudly. Lamenting the fate of the love that grew in his heart, which had adorned his heart for so many years. Shattered to pieces without residue. He regretted that when he heard the news about her marriage, he should have looked for her and asked for an explanation. But he didn't do that, he stalked her from a distance. He continued to cry, regretting his actions. He Shouldn't have created that illusion last night. He hugged tightly the corpse of the woman he loved. And vowed to make amends for what he had done, apologized by searching, met her again in the next life, vowed to make her happy during her lifetime again, again and again.

But the penance of guilt he felt, was transformed into blind love, so that he could not see into the heart of the woman he married in each subsequent life. He failed to make her completely happy. And that made him feel even more unbearable pain. Which almost broke his heart. In fact, he intended to end her suffering right now, that very second. But on next explanation regarding Xuan Ti of the Phoenix made the pain turn against him again, even into absolute anger, absolute darkness enveloped him.

"That's how I feel Hai Zian, and you repeat that sense of emptiness in every other lifetime. You see me smiling Happy from the outside, but you never see my true feelings. And I still show that smile even in my every death came, behind the smile is the bitterness I feel" she said bitterly then raised her right hand and pointed at Xuan Ti. "Meanwhile, Xuan Ti because the love he feels for me is too deep and he understands it, he doesn't want to cause suffering to me, that's why every life, he succumbs to you and lets me live look happy because on each life you are indeed present first in every life of mine and then you claimed me. Until the life before my form as a Phoenix. He realized the mistake he made, he saw the smile of suffering at the end of my life. For that he promised to be present in this life first."

Unbeknownst to her, Phoenix had made a mistake, when she told him how much she had suffered living her life with him, it had softened him and almost made his realized himself. But the second she mentioned what Xuan Ti was feeling, his eyes lit up again, emotions soaring that an aura of tension from him started to ooze out and spread in all directions.

"Hai Zian, I beg you, stop all this, will you? If you really love me, let's end this," she pleaded with a pleading look in his watery, desperate eyes.

A booming voice filled the valley "NO, never, I will never hand you over to him" smouldering anger made Xuan Lung's body tense up.

With anger running high to the peak, Xuan Lung wasted no more time. He raised both his hands and his palms emitted a flash of lightning ready to strike down anyone who dared to stand in his way.

Seeing Xuan Lung's actions, Xuan Ti nimbly pulled Phoenix and hid her behind his body. Then put up a barrier around Phoenix's body "Xuan Ti, no, let me go"
