Three, memories

     She began to think about the most beautiful memories that were with her before she moved to Bali. 

    Her helper grandmother was willing to take care of her and always make happy condition .. as well as her childhood which was filled with a variety of unique adventures.

     Until she moved to a worst memory.

 Flash back

     A little girl ran to an ancient house which is filled with various medicinal plants and creepers in front of the yard. With carefully, she passed various traps for the invisible thief and got through them.  After that, she opened the door with cheerfully and excited.

 "Grand-"

      The flower she was holding fell to the floor just like that and immediately she ran with fast to an old woman who was lying limply on the floor. 

      The chrysanthemum that she dropped before ran seemed to radiate sadness and impermanence.  The little girl immediately sat down and hugged the woman who still looked beautiful even though she was old tightly.

      The woman began to open her eyes slowly and replied with a slow reaction.  The little girl began to flow her tears profusely and stared at this helpful woman in front of her.

    "Don't cry .." explained the old elegan woman and stroked the child's soft hair slowly.

    "Grandma ...." replied the child spoiled and tightened his hug even more.  "I will seek help!"  The girl continued her voice and immediately moved.  However that girl's activity was restrained by the woman.

    "Paved me to our yard."

     The little girl looked at the old woman anxiously and sobs escaped her tiny lips.  But the woman smiled broadly and indicated that all was well and would be fine.

     She just feel scare but in a same time, her grandma just sign that everything was okay

     Long short story , the girl carried her grandmother to the yard of the house which was filled with flowers besides the vines which served as the staple food for both of them to go through the day. 

     Then she sat her grandmother in a rocking chair that the old woman usually sat on at the end of the day to tell an unique story.

     Sometimes, her grandmother would tell her a tale of a quirky mystery mystery that only adults could understand but which was easily mastered and correctly guessed the ending.

     The grandmother took the child on her thigh and told a story about the child who was strong and related to each type of flower around her.  When the story was finished, the woman explained a piece of advice to the girl in her arms.

    "Be a kind-hearted child and never give up. Prioritize a positive attitude other than high knowledge. Being a good-natured child ......"

     The moral message ended with a long sigh and made the girl with fast look back in confusion.  She shook the woman's stiff body and didn't respond at all. 

     Streams of tears see out of her eyes and there was still no response from her beloved grandmother. She started to get off the rocking chair and still didn't give up waking the woman in front of her ..

 ....

      Claire began to open her eyes and looked at the still bright sky, she closed her eyes again to explore the memories that remained after her grandmother went to the upper world or another world.

    She still remembered the time when she survived alone because she still didn't understand anything that happened to her.  that event.  All she remembered was the last message of his helper grandmother.

     Finally, Claire turns back to the time when she grew up and began to understand the meaning of death and life.  Her grandmother had been buried near the blooming flower and she watered it one last time before go out for see the real world where was inovated by any technology and information

..

    "Grandma, I'll say goodbye today for the last to you."

     She also left the lush area and went out to explore various technology technologies and build a restaurant business. She has a talent for cooking and she use of that talent to create an unique and savory dishes from a variety of different foods. She also created a creative and interest cake. She taught this study all to her loyal employees and several chef assistants ..

     After the memory ran out, she just opened her eyes and realized that the day had turned dark and the whole room was deserted.  There was no more hubbub from outside and the room was only decorated with dim lights.

    She got up and touched the iron bars that bounded her self in the middle of darkness. She looked closely at the surroundings until a man startled her right in front of the iron bars

    The man started to turn around and start the conversation with ask her a strange question.

 "Do you want to be free?"

    Claire also looked at the man strangely and suspiciously.  She had never been here at all and none of her acquaintances were in this city.

   Claire watched the man's face closely.  The man's face was quite dark and only his nose was pointed from the black and white silhouette of the dim lights at night. 

    His body is quite tall enough to block her eyes from sneaking out.  Plus her self body size, which only has a 158 cm height and 46 kilograms, cannot be matched by the man in front of her.  After glancing at the man, she shook her head firmly and returned the tall man's gaze.

    "I don't want to be free through the hands of a man I've never met," explained Claire with loud but not made the police in forward feel strange and come to here.

    However, the man reacted differently to her answer and confused Claire even more.  The man's reciprocity made Claire even more suspicious of this stranger man in front of her.  Instead, the man advanced toward her until it stopped 1 inch from the iron bars.

 "Sorry little girl , but you only have 2 choices. Come with me or spend forever in worse prison!"
