The Place Unknown

I found a shop that caught my attention, where I saw an old old man selling drinks, I happened to be thirsty because my road was quite far and long, making me feel something that made me know that there was something with Melva who he couldn't tell me.

I ordered a warm drink, I found this grandfather was making a drink for me. It feels really comfortable and very delicious when I take a few sips, a long wooden chair, and surrounded by plantations that look cool on the eyes, feels like my tiredness is gone instantly.

For a moment, I forgot my goal, "Oh yeah, I should be looking for Melva," I muttered and wanted to find Melva again.

Where can I find her again, I thought for a moment, in my daydream as I recalled the conversation at dinner with her, made me feel warm, comfortable and I look forward to, the time with Melva, dinner, selling together, cooking the food that will be served. we sell and so on.

For me, Melva is my most valuable childhood friend, because since childhood we were cared for by a grandfather at our house and we were left just like that, but Melva and I were always together accompanying our day and also made me feel a very beautiful togetherness when I'm with him right now, and when I start to be able to do something together.

"Please…..!!!" Someone screamed in fright.

On reflex, I immediately put down my drink and paid for it, "What's this for?" Said the old geezer who received money from me.

"To pay for the drink you gave sir," I said to him while giving the money to give him.

"Do I look like a merchant" he continued telling me.

"Why is this father not trading drinks?" I asked a little confused by what he said.

"I give it for free to anyone thirsty" replied the grandfather full of smiles and happiness to me.

"You want to help the person who screamed earlier? Do you know who and where he is?" The old geezer said back.

"I don't know where, I don't even know who he is, but if we want to help we don't need to know where that person is, right?" I said to the old man.

"Of course, because that's what humans are, we don't need a reason to help someone but to hurt someone we need a reason" He smiled at me.

"Then hurry up and find him and help him, maybe he needs your help now, it seems his voice is behind this house, and he's not that far from here," said the grandfather who directed me and also made me know where he was.

"Then thank you," I said with a smile and looked at him, I saw his sincerity in helping and also very kind, even though this was my first meeting with him but he was like Ander and Belbatom who didn't look at my physical, or didn't mind the fishy smell attached to my body, to him maybe I was like a teenager in general.

I also went from where the grandfather was distributing drinks, there were also some slices of bread that he distributed to passers-by, for some reason he distributed them for free, I didn't even understand that, but like he said, to help someone we no reason needed.

I immediately looked for the voice earlier, I couldn't find the voice of the person whispering at that time, I didn't find a voice that sounded loud like before, making me think what happened, is this a criminal case, or something else happened.

While running to the back of the house which is quite spacious, the yard is planted with various kinds of flowers, with a tall tree towering, not only one tree, even along the way there are many tall and big trees, making the atmosphere around it look very comfortable.

Making passersby mesmerized by the beauty of the eyes that look around, so beautiful and emitting such a fragrant smell, I also feel a cool and peaceful atmosphere, like being hypnotized by a situation, I don't know why I'm here.

I saw a man in a black robe waiting for me, I almost saw his face, my steps slowed down, oh what's wrong with me, am I tired from running all day, I don't know what's going on, makes me want to know what's going on.

My eyes began to fade like seeing all the shadows, my vision slowly began to blur and erratic, the footsteps grew heavier, my head became dizzy.

"Ouch it feels so strange" I muttered in a beautiful and cool scene, but so drugged, made my movements erratic and I became a helpless figure in front of a place I've never been to at all, what am I doing here actually.

Slowly and surely, when I fell, I saw the figure of a man who was so mysterious, with a black robe and a large body that made me feel scared, but I couldn't do anything now, because I didn't understand what was happening right now.

Ah well, maybe it's my fault that I don't understand this world which turns out to be cruel, but it can't be helped. Standing with my legs back is also not able to at all, at this time what will happen to me, I will surrender everything.

I no longer have the strength at all to be able to do something that I can do, when I was about to close my eyes, I heard the sound of fighting that I was unable to know what was happening.

This time I fell asleep, fainted, or maybe exhausted. I don't even know what happened, but at least I want to give something the best I can, and this time I was able to do something I wanted to be able to do, but I was helpless, so weak and lousy.

It's very difficult to be this lacking self, but I have never regretted being born and raised because even though I have only met a few people who are good to me, I know that those who are near me are sincere people and love me for who I am. because with my shortcomings I see, beautiful eyes to see, honest words without lies, and a journey that is so pleasant when with them.

I am currently without deep knowledge, who came to places I did not know, made me learn, learn about courage, and learn about decision making, all this is a form of me trying to find someone who faithfully accompanies me for more than twenty years, a friend, a relative, even a mother figure that I met in her, a family that exceeds any treasure.

I can't do much, because I'm currently helpless with the situation, my physical weakness makes me have to fall and be helpless, but I will do my best to be able to meet Melva again.
