Yeh Chahatein Yeh Shiddatein

神に最も近いとされる、吸血の一族。 そのひとり、黒髪の青年は、長き時の底を無言で歩いていた。 ある日、彼は金色の髪を持つ子供を連れて帰る。 傷を抱え、名を持たず、言葉より先に彼の袖を掴んだ少女。 少女は幼く、気まぐれで、世界の仕組みを何ひとつ知らない。 それでも彼の隣に居続けることをやめなかった。 彼もまた、何も語らぬまま、その小さな存在を拒まなかった。 命令でも、慈愛でもない。 ただ静かに交わされていく「育てる」と「育てられる」のかたち。 沈黙と訓戒のあいまに、ゆるやかに根を張っていく依存と信頼。 ——いつか、何かが終わるその時まで。 誰にも気づかれぬ場所で、運命の灯がそっと灯る。

A small accident that happened to Rajata in the courtyard of Prambanan Temple brought him to meet Kalyana, a woman who was finishing her novel because she would soon go abroad with Armand, her future husband. The encounter, which they thought was fleeting, turned out to be continued when Kalyana, hurt by Armand’s actions, invited Rajata to accompany him to visit Yeh Pulu, Bali. Rajata, who was trying to forget his love for a girl from his high school days, accepted the invitation. In Yeh Pulu, a local elder gave Kalyana a startling vision of an incident from several centuries ago. Intrigued by what really happened at that time, they decided to ask for a favor from Harso, Kalyana’s old friend who worked at CERN, Switzerland. Unexpectedly, their investigation, which relied on a sophisticated computer named Lidia lead them into an amazing adventure, an adventure that opens new perspectives to their understanding about history, and triggered them to learn from history in facing the future.
