Felix Charles: The Lonely Star
|2. THE BRIGHT SPOT'S
******
Felix pressed the button on off his sleep light
who was in the nightstand alternately, making minimal lighting in his room to be
extinguished and then bright again, it happens repeatedly
until a while. Until finally his hands stopped and let
the dim lighting was on.
He leaned his head on the chair, looking up. Replaced staring at the ceiling of his room.
"Mother.." she said breaking between the silence of the night.
"Did mom not want to meet
with me?"
The sound was heard more and more
slashing in the middle of the night, even the sound of night animals that usually interlock
even now I don't know where it went. It was like that mood was very
support him to be sad. His eyes slowly heated up, creating a puddle
it's clear in the bags under his eyes.
"A-does mom miss me...?"
He stammered as he held back his cries desperately, not really willing
she shed her tears once in a lifetime. My grandfather once
he said; if the man should not continue to act strongly and withhold
his tears were desperately only to show that he was strong. Stash it
what's wrong with crying? The tears were a disgrace until he had to continue
hidden behind petals with no intention to show them the item once
a lifetime?
Whoever it is, during
he is still in status as ‘mahkluk liv’ he is very entitled to drip water
eyes when the heart is tired with the felt.
So, no problem
not if she cries this time?
"Mothers... I want to meet
mother.." he said stammered up to the cry he held since last—or
it probably broke that night, too.
Elsewhere, tall women
arriving with a flower crown that adheres beautifully on his head it turns away
his face turned to the side when he saw his son crying for it
a magical pool that he always used to watch over all activities
what the boy did.
A small stick coming out of the child's lips
it was as if he was slowly collapsing his world. Moreover, racauan no
it made sense that it made his heart feel like it was being crushed because it felt like it was failing as
a mother.
He pointed his hand towards the pool
that makes the magic pool no longer show the sad face of Felix.
He turned around and sat on the high ground not far from the position of the pond
miraculous while looking at the heart of the stars in the sky.
"Queen Freya, there's something I can
help you?" ask a man who sat there before
hers.
He chuckled softly at the call of 'Queen'
from his friend since childhood. "You're taunting me?"
"Of course not, you are
a Queen," replied the man.
"Stop, Ed. I'm just a guard
not a ruler like your little brain thinks it is" the woman snorted
upset themselves because people always call her the queen in this country. Though
in reality, this country is a country without a government, everyone is free
to do anything without being bound by rules, except immoral or
smelling negative will then be followed up by him with the consent of all
people.
"You don't want to see him?"
ask Ed.
"I wanted that from
long ago, just so you knew." He looked at the fireflies that were in the palm
in his hand, the light from the fireflies began to dim.
"Then what's your plan
next one?"
"Open the shortcut again,"
said Freya calmly, while moving the fireflies on the flowers are
beside him.
"You crazy? It's the same as inviting
your son entered the lion's den" Edward stared at the woman beside him
believing.
"Let's fix it, he, lah, yang
approached by a lion, because he's not the lion."
********
"I'm home!" Exclaims
Felix just got home from school.
He turned his head here and there because
there is no sign of home life. Him
stepped into the kitchen to check, but in fact nil, no one
at all.
Then his eyes accidentally glanced at a yellow note
taped to the refrigerator. It's written that aunt and Scarlett are out
with her grandmother too, I don't know where to go.
He moved from the kitchen to
his room is on the second floor. Felix put his bag on the couch and switched
throwing his body on the bed, it felt exhausting after walking
feet from school to home.
Yes, the school is just a distance away
a few miles from his house. But it was exhausting, she should have been
asked for a bike for his birthday present yesterday.
Wait, reward..yes?
He got up from the bed and approached
his wardrobe, looking for a small box that his grandfather gave him when he
there was a time.
Felix remembers once if grandfather
ordered her to open the box when she was old enough and grandma was already
tell me something about his mother. He was not so interested in
it says, he just complies with grandfather.
And, he found it.
Ancient small box with flower carving
beautiful on the side. He sat back down on the bed and opened the box
that's.
Turns out it was an object
kuno—like star shaped accessories with size
been a long time. The paper has already
looks yellowed.
Surprisingly, the star is
partly. Not like a whole star in general, I don't know, but it looks like
there's another part.
He switched staring at paper roll—not
paper that is commonly used by humans today but paper times
it was in that box. At the end of the letter was the name of a person
it was written in ink, but it was not the name of a grandfather, but the name of a man
female.
"Freya?" He links the second
his eyebrows read a very foreign name in his opinion. Who ‘Freya’?
His hands slowly moved to open
that letter. Strangely enough, there was no writing in it.
"Why empty?" Ask
own confusion.
A few moments later from the letter
it appeared a small yellow light grain flying in
slowly before him, he formed a smiling human face
his direction.
He was stunned when he realized it was a face
who's. The face is the same
exactly as he saw in Grandma's memory a few days ago, "mother?"
The tiny light changed shape
again it becomes a neat line of writing.
'If the star finds its part
what is missing is that the door of the land of winged creatures will open.'
Land of winged creatures? Meanings
the land of fairies like her mother? Really, this was too shocking for her, though,
especially with the writing coming out of the paper and floating in the air earlier.
Then the neat lines of writing slowly fade and disappear with
by itself.
Felix thought for a moment, how
he found some of those stars? Oh, come on where might he find her
only with feelings and opinions, at least give a little
clue.
"Foolish, I am!" He's risen
from the bed was about to pick up the food that was on the dining table, however
the tail of his eyes unintentionally glanced at the empty paper still lying on top
bed, suddenly something was drawn there. Reflexes of his hand moving
quickly get the letter.
"Cabinets?" That boy
observe the white closet with some beautiful flower carvings that look unfamiliar
for him it is clingy, whether he who does not know or does not exist. But honestly,
he had never seen such a closet in this house.
He looked at the box and the closet
alternately, the carving in the box was the same as the carving of the closet depicted by
paper.
Never saw the closet that meant it
the cupboard was in a place he had never been. But where? All
this is where he once visited her. Ah, this is confusing.
"Am I checking one-on-one?"
He checked the picture one more time
the closet was shocked again.
"Well, look at the background now
he showed up, "he said in amazement.
But wait, he never visited
the warehouse downstairs all this time. Because they were never allowed to go in there,
don't know because of what.
"really there? tanyakanya.
And again, on the paper appeared a
inscription.
"He's in the place of all the stuff
collected?"
I don't know why he thought this paper was
able to hear his voice, and even able to reply to his words through
inscription.
"There must be something there,"
said sure.
Still carrying the paper in
in her hands, she quickly walked out of her room and down towards the floor
down to go to the warehouse which is a little in the dark side aisle
right living room.
When we got to the door,
his hand that was about to open the door knob he stopped in mid-air. He looked
right-left turns hoping grandma and aunt come home later
at least he got a little bright spot to be able to know about the place
mother's origin.
Without wasting any more time, he
open the door slowly until it shows a pile of items that have been
dusty. There was one thing that caught his attention, a rectangular object
it is covered with a white cloth. That tall thing is not far away
from where he stood.
Felix walked over there, coming closer,
the closer he could see clearly that which was covered in that white cloth
it is a closet.
He touched the edge of the cloth while he was at the
in front of the closet, intend to open it slowly just in case if
something unwanted happened.
He almost opened some of it,
suddenly a small black animal jumped at him making him
surprised and removed the link of his hand from the white cloth.
"Huh, just a rat," he murmured
while stroking his rumbling chest.
He quickly opened the cloth, though,
and.really!
The same white cupboard
which was on the paper.
His hands moved to open the closet
that white paint. Until finally—
"Felix!"
