3: Departure
PS: Enjoy the music while reading the story.
“It has been few days after our first meeting then you just disappeared into thin air”
For the first time, Zavian was curious about love. He felt like Love was the only one that he needed to live in this pity world. However, he has not met Love for several days since his first meeting. He wondered if Love were real, he would be very happy. In other words, Zavian fell in love after he had met Love. Was that the power of love?
“All of my pain, suffering and misery have just disappeared after I had known Love”
The following day was Obon, one of Japan’s national event. In this event, all of Japanese people were having holiday because we were all supposed to gather with our family celebrating the event by drinking sake and having a chat. Therefore, Zavian used this chance to explore the whole area in Japan and hoped that he would find Love. This time, Zavian brought Onigiri, balls of rice with a filling in the middle, with him because no restaurant were allowed to open during the event.
Back to Zavian. He began to start his journey by visiting every city in Japan. After the whole day exploring the city, Zavian found nothing and he surrendered to continue his journey. He could not find where Love lived either any information related to her. When he was about going home, he remembered that he hadn’t visited Kyoto yet. Although the result would be the same, he convinced himself to go there for one more time.
“This tiredness will be nothing if I could find Love”
Several minutes later, Zavian arrived at Kyoto. He saw a girl standing in a beautiful dress crying over something. However, it was too gloomy for Zavian to see her clearly. Therefore, he walked nearer in order to see her and offered if he could help anything.
“Ohayo Gozaimasu!”, Zavian tried to say hi to her. When the girl turned her face, Zavian got shocked because the crying girl was Love. He could not say something but kept in silence. He did not know what to do and acted randomly.
“What are you crying at?”, asked Zavian politely.
“I am starving..”, replied Love innocently.
Suddenly, Zavian laughed loudly. He thought that Love was in a serious problem until she cried. Knowing that Love was starving, Zavian gave her onigiri, the balls of rice which he brought from home.
“Oh my God, I thought you were in a serious problem, Love. Here, I brought onigiri”, offered Zavian to Love. After that, Love ate the onigiri until she was full. During their meeting, Zavian was having a heart to heart talk with Love. It made Zavian’s feeling grew bigger and bigger than before. He felt comfortable to walk with Love.
“Love, may I ask you something?”
“Sure”
“Have you ever fallen in love before?”, asked Zavian curiously.
Love did not answer it until several minutes have passed.
“Yes, I ever have fallen in love but I was betrayed..”, replied Love softly.
Hearing her answer, Zavian was startled. He wondered why he had the same terrible past with Love. He knew how painful it was when someone got betrayed by love. This time, Zavian knew what he has to do. However, when he was about to say something, Love ended their conversation.
“It is time..”, said Love.
“What time?”, asked Zavian confusedly.
“I have to go now..”, replied Love asking for permission.
“Wa.. wait.. I even do not know where your house is!”
“You do not have to know it. If you want to see me, you can come here”
“Bu.. but..”
He haven’t finished his words but Love had gone leaving him alone. How about the next day? The next day, they were getting more intense. Everyday, Zavian and Love having a conversation in a bridge at Kyoto, they talked, laughed and loved. At one in the morning, Zavian went into Kyoto and brought some onigiri, Love’s favorite food. While they were having conversation, Zavian declared his love.
“Love.. may I ask you something”
“Sure, ask me anything”
“Will you marry me?”
“I would love to..”
Zavian was about to show his happiness and Love did not let it happen.
“But I cannot..”, added Love.
“But why? We love each other. I love you and so do you”, replied Zavian dazedly.
“Yes, I do love you but I cannot..”
That day was windy. Everyone was in their home due to the terrible weather but both of them remained standing in a bridge at Kyoto. The wind was blowing strongly but their love was stronger than the wind.
“The one who you love is Love”, explained Love.
“Yeah and Love is you..”
“No, I am not Love, the one who you love.. I mean, I am Love but I am not “that” Love..”, said Love.
“I do not get it. What do you mean?”
Zavian was very confused about Love’s statement. He did know what was Love trying to say. The next was unpredictable.
“Love, the one who you love had died long time ago”, said Love.
“Whaa.. what? What do you mean?”
“The one who is standing in front of you is the twin of Love”
“Twin?”
“Yeah, my name is Valencia Loveably Audy and the one who you love is Vallena Loveably Audy. We are twins.”
“I just do not get it..”
“Actually, I was shocked also, Zavian. I am afraid that you cannot accept the reality”, explained Love.
“Just, explain to me. I will try to open my mind”, said Zavian convincingly.
“If I tell you the truth, the risk will come after. Will you accept it?”, asked Love.
“Yes, I will” replied Zavian with certainty.
After that, Love told Zavian about the truth. It turned out that Vallena Loveably had died at the incident when terrorists attacked Kyoto. She died at the same time when Zavian’s parent died. However, Vallena’s spirit did not want to go to heaven because she thought that her twin still needed her. It was known that Vallena’s mother had died during the process of giving birth of the twins. As a result, Vallena’s spirit felt guilty to leave her only sister in this world.
Therefore, every winter or anyday when the weather was terribly bad and people were inside their home. Vallena’s spirit came out in the bridge of Kyoto waiting for Valencia to come. Instead of meeting Valencia, Vallena’s spirit saw the crying Zavian. Vallena’s spirit was also shocked when she had realized that Zavian could see her.
And that was why Zavian could not see Vallena after the winter had done because Vallena’s spirit could not stand lights. This also explained why Vallena was being in a rush during her conversation with Zavian.
During the Obon, people were supposed to gather at their home by drinking sake and having a chat.However, it was known also as a superstition in Japan that during the Obon, our ancestor spirits were given a chance to go to the earth. Therefore, Zavian could see Vallena again at the bridge of Kyoto. Unfortunately, Obon lasted for one day only. The next day was not Vallena anymore but Valencia. When Zavian proposed Love, he was actually proposing Valencia not Vallena.
Did you remember how Vallena looked like when Zavian came after her? Yes, she was crying. She was crying because she did not want to be the dead one.
Hearing the truth, Zavian broke down in tears. He thought that he finally could find love. In fact, Love had left him behind. She had rested in peace forever. Several minutes later, light was shone over the skies. It was signed that everything has done.
“Good bye, Valencia. Tell Vallena that I will never forget her, tell her that I will always love her”, a farewell from Zavian.
In Japan’s myth, if someone could see the unseen and asked about the truth, you would be punished. It was known that the Gods would bring us back to our previous life before Japan. As a result, Gods sent Zavian to his previous life that was in Netherlands and deleted all of his memories about Japan.
Chapter 4: Turning Back Times
“Birds are singing, flowers are dancing but my heart is breaking..”
It was a sunny day when Zavian woke up from his sleep. Suddenly, his phone got buzzed by his friend. It was an urgent message which was said that Zavian had to go to mall and it was about Kimmy. The question is: What happened to Kimmy?
He ran, he jumped out from where he sat. He went to the mall as soon as possible because he thought that Kimmy was in danger. Few minutes later, he arrived and then he met his friend. However, his friend did not say anything after he had arrived.
“Tell me what is going on!”
“You should not come here. I am not sure that you will be happy because of it.”
“Just tell me where she is!”
“She is there.”
Zavian turned his eyes and he saw Kimmy, the girl who sat with another guy and cuddling each other in the café. He had been forced to see what he did not want to see. In fact, that was the reality. Kimmy, was not a loyal girl.
“You should not go with a blonde girl, Zavian. I get informed that most of them are not the loyal one.”
“Don’t you dare to say it again, Kimmy is different!”
“Well, just take a look at her. Your loyal Kimmy. You should not believe anyone easily, Zavian!”
All of a sudden, Zavian was getting confused. He felt like he had ever experienced this long time before.
“Wait.. I have experienced this event!”, said Zavian indistinctly.
“What do you mean, Zav?”, asked Zavian’s friend.
“I do not know. I feel like I had suffered this event before”, answered Zavian.
“De Javu?”
“Well, I think so..”
Their “De Javu” conversation hasn’t finished yet but Kimmy came after them.
“Hey, babe. What a coincidence! I was going to invite you to come to the mall because my brother has just finished his study in Australia”
“Is he your brother?”
“Yeah, he is..”
It turned out that the boy, who was cuddling with Kimmy, was her brother. It was shocking, wasn’t it? Yeah, It was because their haven’t met for ages. It was quite normal because Kimmy’s brother was leaving his home about nine years ago. Therefore, once they met, they were like a couple. However, Kimmy was saying the truth. They were really brother and sister.
As time went by, Zavian finally took Kimmy as his wife. His life remains continue leaving mystery behind everything. Till then, he never realized what was happened to him and why the time was turning back. Was that really a De Javu?
- CLOSING -
"Thou, the most precious things. Ye shall cover the truth and lead our way. Shall I compare thee to a star in the sky? Thou art beautiful and set me free. Thou beest magnificent. Thou dost good but have to be found. What hast thou? Thou hast my faith. Thou art mine. Thou beest love."

Okay, I'll give you the clues. The keys are on:

2. Obon
3. Onigiri
4. Crying over something
5. Limited time
Can you guess it?
Just like Helena,I still don't get your story.
BalasHapusAnyway, slight mistake again yo, you need to pay attention to the tense that you used. When you write a story you should use past tense and perfect tense as a consistency timeline in your sentence. For example in this sentence 'when he was about going home, he remembered he haven't...' you should replace "haven't" with hadn't. Besides, look at the subject, it's a 'He' not 'I' or 'You' so you can't use 'have', right? hahaha
Ah, thank you for pointing that out.
BalasHapusActually, I was sleepy when I wrote the story.
I did it at one (at midnight) haha xD

I will explain all of it after the requirements are fulfilled
