Old Soul Adalah

On the wet sand beside the seashore, the strong, tall man was laying with a cigarette in his hand. His bike parked a few feet away from him. The environment there was serene and noiseless as no one was allowed then on the beach that he owned. It was not a big deal for a billionaire like him. He had a lot more than that. Wealth, power, the respect he had all of them but lacked the most important thing that couldn't be bought with money. He lacked inner peace. He inhaled the vinous smoke as the corner of his lips twitched in a sad smile. His eyes deceived him being moist and a lone tear slipped down his face on the sand. The sand sucked the water as soon as it fell on it, and he wondered if his pain disappeared in thin air like that. He breathed out a puff of smoke through his nose and mouth. Looking up at the sky with the sad smile plastered on his face he spoke up, "Why so hatred for me, ya Rab?" Miles away from him the girl with a cuddling baby in her arms uttered looking up at the sky, "I express my deep gratitude to You for sending this angel to me, Ya Rab."

“Aku mau pindah,” kata Aira suatu malam. Arsen hanya tersenyum, seolah itu keputusan paling wajar di dunia. “Kalau gitu, aku ikut.” Mereka sudah hidup bersama sejak kuliah. Berbagi ruang, waktu, dan kebiasaan kecil yang tanpa sadar berubah menjadi kebutuhan. Saling bergantung, saling menjaga, tanpa pernah berani menyentuh satu batas yang terlalu berisiko untuk dilanggar, yaitu perasaan. Hingga suatu hari, Arsen mendengar rumor bahwa Aira menyukai seseorang. “Bener?” tanyanya, setenang mungkin. Aira mengangguk. Ia mengakui perasaannya, tapi saat Arsen bertanya lebih jauh, ia memilih diam. Bukan karena tak ingin jujur, melainkan karena nama yang ingin ia sebut adalah milik Arsen sendiri. Namun kebungkaman itu justru melahirkan salah paham. Arsen mulai percaya bahwa pria yang disukai Aira adalah Adrian, manajernya. Dari satu kesalahpahaman kecil, jarak pelan-pelan tercipta di antara mereka, meski keduanya masih berdiri di tempat yang sama. Karena sejak awal, mereka sama-sama tahu, rumah itu selalu ada di samping. Lantas, jika mereka sama-sama saling mencintai, apa lagi yang sebenarnya mereka tunggu?

“Nate, don't you dare start with that nonsense too. I told you already, I don't care about those ridiculous traditions." Marcel responded irritably as she hopped into the copilot seat of her best friend's car, anxious to get as far away as possible from her home. “Hey, I've known you since you were four, so don't try and act all brave and mature. Tell me the truth, you're afraid aren't you?” “Humph! What's there to be scared of?...” “That Mike's ghost might come back to haunt you." The boy interrupted, carelessly blurting out his analysis, adding…“I just don't get it; everyone else knows his death wasn't your fault…” “I know it wasn't!” “Then why won't you pray for his safe journey into the afterlife? What if his soul is damn to roam the earth, wreaking havoc among the living or even disrupting the balance between the two worlds?” “Ahh! Don't be childish. There is no such thing as the afterlife; parents just use these pathetic excuses to trick their children into believing that our loved ones are better off. If that was the case, why don't we all join them… oh yeah, that's right, we can't commit suicide otherwise we'll go straight to hell. Grow up Nate! The spirit dies with the body.” Follow the journey of a young woman as she tries to keep her sanity when the world around her was quickly crumbling after one faithful night of honoring the dead. Will she be able to save the life of those closest to her? or will her soul be bound to an eternity of madness?
