THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
Memories of the past

This is a memory of him being in the old world as Ryan.

Zen woke up in a classroom that looked familiar in his memory, he saw a worn-out beige wall slightly white as it faded away by the seepage of rainwater.

Spider nests perched on each side of the room forming a harmonious family between the mother's father and two children.

The national hero picture poster has been shabby because it has not been cleaned for years. Likewise for two photos of middle-aged men in black with their faces looking friendly smile, displayed between the left and right side of the Garuda bird who always turned to the right.

All of them really become nostalgic in Zen's memories, because in that place was the beginning when he met the one woman he loved, Rea fani Vilova.

From the bench where he sat in the back row, Rea's figure had always been the center of attention for a classmate. She is friendly, kind, beautiful, smart and also has a beautiful voice.

But unfortunately until the end of graduation Zen only became a friend and Rea went to achieve the dream in the city to become a singer.

Until one day, Zen is reunited with Rea after years of no news of him.

In a cafe, Rea works as one of the waiters when Rea's dream to become a singer must be dashed and leave life in the work to meet needs.

He was just like Zen, throwing away all his dreams due to economic factors.

That reunion, makes Zen get to know more about Rea's life. Of course Zen can not imagine, if one day he had a chance to get love from the girl he wanted.

It's just that, the memory image is moving rapidly towards a future that was never expected.

A time when the relationship between Ryan and Rea ended.

Now Zen could see, himself sitting in front of a computer screen that remained lit, a pile of files piled up next to him, a cigarette in his hand was also blown white smoke out of his mouth.

The face looked shabby, not seen alive, all day long he just remained silent without moving from all work.

Three cups of coffee were gone without any rest. The shredding he just gulped down was the last remnant. But it still doesn't make the man feel better.

In a rented house narrow and full of stuff.

Ryan walked away and stepped onto the floor mattress to unwind, sacrificing his precious time off for office duties just because of a responsibility.

Staring at the phone, sliding the screen while looking at photos of sexy women bikini. They are beautiful, yes they are beautiful. It became a fantasy for every man who wanted to hold their bodies tightly as entertainment.

But the man realized, who he was, without the attraction that would get attention for a beautiful woman.

Even if there was, she had been taken away by another man with full responsibility and dared to give a definite future in marriage.

As for her, too afraid to promise Rea, she does not want to make the woman she loves miserable when it comes to living without certainty with small-paying employees.

Closing the phone and moment of daydreaming, the gaze of the eyes only fixed on the ceiling of the contract with a fan that continuously rotates.

His mouth was wide vaporized, not because he was sleepy, but rather bored, bored with the life he had now.

He never remembers having ideals as an office employee, but the life cycle that swirls between need, work and income becomes a vicious cycle without being able to bargain.

Days changed Sunday, Sundays changed years, he went through the same day over and over again. Living only because he was alive, he had unknowingly forgotten the ideals he was proud of in elementary school.

"It's not about you enjoying it or not, man, but are you ready to live a life of suffering, of unemployment, of bothering parents for the sake of the stupid ideals you can't achieve." Said one figure appearing at the back and it was himself.

True, the economic condition of parents who can not be said to be fine is always a classic reason, he must accept reality and be willing to sacrifice a dream and love story for the sake of family.

"What would happen if I were still there."

"Maybe I'll keep working as an employee until death... And also got the award as a perpetual employee in the company."

"I can imagine that." Zen laughter was stiff and pitiful.

Flash memory changes.... His soul was forcibly pulled towards one place, a wedding event of a beautiful woman sitting on a lap with a charming smile welcoming the invited guests.

Rea and another man sat side by side, joking and laughing as if the world belonged to just the two of them.

Prewedding photo frames are depicted as a form of harmonious and happy family that is always desired by all women.

There was nothing wrong with Rea's marriage, it was the best choice for her life. Little Zen's heart was regretful, but what could he do. Although time can repeat itself and Zen brings Rea to be a family.

But Zen is not sure, will Rea be happy to live with him later.

The tragedy happened.... A car hit Ryan to death.

But the shadowy figure of Ryan standing beside Zen showed a smile. But basically all these sights are a delusion.

"So?, are you happy with your life right now." Ryan asked Zen.

It felt strange indeed, where the question came from himself.

"I can't say I'm happy or not, because problems will always be present for as long as we live. But yeah... I feel like my life is better now, I can be whatever I want to be, relax every day, play anywhere, and I also get a beautiful woman who loves me. Even though I'm not sure whether our relationship will be smooth." Zen story with a good mood.

Sena appeared in Zen's mind. The life he had in the past ended tragically and pitifully. Not only love, but work and the future, all seem bleak.

"I'm glad to hear it." Ryan smiled.

"I'm sorry if I'm taking responsibility out of your life." Zen Reply.

"Don't worry, it's not a serious matter, it's over and you have a new life." Ryan replied casually.

For some reason, Zen smiled to himself, he felt relieved, the second chance in the journey of a new life in the world of Dios became a blessing.

Zen remembered about Sena...."Alright ... I gotta get back. Someone's waiting."

"Yes you're right. Thanksmeme it... It's weird, I'm thanking myself.... But I hope you're happy."

"I'll try for that happiness." Answer Zen.

Zen's footsteps walked out towards the door that had suddenly appeared, he opened and the glare light emanated clearly drew his soul away.
