Seven Minutes of Memory

--o0o--
Nobody wants a monster like me

--o0o--

Well,  if you expect something amazing from this story, then you better leave. There is nothing special about a girl’s life. Just like usual, they cry when they are sad, smile when they are happy, laugh when they think that world is unfair.

Guest who am i? Just in case if you curious, i’m not the main character of this story. I’m just a story teller. It is my duty to spread things that i need to spread on behalf of majority’s peace.

I will give you warn. You better go grab some snacks and drink an energizing drink to recharge your power so you won’t be sleepy after reading tons of naration. Let’s cut the crap, shall we?

This story, nobody knows where it starts. Nobody cares too. The only thing they care about is the way this story can move their heart even without trying to. So insane until they forget the main  purpose of their existence on this show. The girl whose wearing pink tutu keep dancing, she dances with no doubt. Sometimes, she makes some extreme movements that blow the audience’s mind.

Most of the audience put their focuses on that girl, they even make their selves put some plans to ask her address. Plans just plans,  let them swim on their imagination. That girl, our object today, will never lay her attention to those kind of useless things. She believes that her time is much more expensive than dramas people love.

Then why she is here when she doesn’t even want people’s attention? She wants to live well on this earth. She just wants to play her role in the good kind of way her mother’s want.

Or let i say, this girl is full of trick. She is the most tricky person anybody could ever met. Behind her innocent look, there are many knives she prepared to stab you right in front of your face.

Whoa, this story gone creepy. But thanks to the story liner, this story is not about something that we called as horror, or anything similar.

“Break time” There is super tiny voice accross her mind, now she knows why her feet start to numb. She nods three times to make sure the committee that she is going to stop her dance. Audience ready to give her super big standing applause. Her grin, make up cover it so well. So well until everybody thinks that girl is smiling at them. Really?

Many Don Juan already stood at the back stage, hoping their flowers will be accepted by that girl. You guys ofcourse knew, this girl only give them chance to see her face for a second, after that, she closes the curtain again.

“What are they thinking about? They make me sick!” She said, ofcourse forget about the shouts. She can’t make it until she turned to home. “Easy little girl, they just want a piece of your attention. Give them your smile. Only your smile and you make their day. You will be categorized as a generous girl on this town by doing that.”

“No, Marry. You don’t understand.”

An old lady whose name is Marry shakes her head, start to throw her deadly laugh towards that girl. “You are so naive. I do, for someone who live with you for decades, i’m more than that.”

“Decades? Really? You better leave Marry,  before i hurt you.” But Marry still stand on the same place, staring at that girl cluelessly. “What  do you want me to do, Anne?”

“You changed your self rapidly, what a nice movement of yours. Oh, look at those shoes. You can’t wear it again twice, poor thing.”

As Marry expected, Anne glances at her current shoes and Boom! There’s nothing left but pieces of it torn away. “You never know. Never.”

“About your tiredness, young lady? Go sleep, then you can get some extra power to face the obstacles around you. Make sure you find a good plan.”

Anne walks away, leave Marry with no warm smile like she used to. Marry, that old woman sighing, “This thing won’t happen if young master still here.”

Step by step, she manages her self to get out from the buildings without making too much noise. She just need a space. Why does anybody around her can’t figure it? Despite of her super busy schedules, she also need a time to breath fresh air.

City park becomes her destination. This evening the park is quite peace and the air is quite fresh. Fine, she found such a nice escape. She promises her self to visit this place as many as she could. Then, a cup of coffee will make this night perfect. But a voice make Anne’s steps stopped for a while.

“It has been said that goldfish only has seven seconds of memory. After seven seconds, everything becomes new again.”

What was that? Anne seems okay with that. It makes me even more curious.

“Have you bought the coffee?” Anne asks the main source of voice she heard without any kind of friendly acts.

There’s no sounds, so Anne make a conclusion that she has to sit on the bench next to him. “Let me have it. I’m thirsty, need something to drink.”

“Ah, you are a man! I think it is woman’s voice. How soft!” They laugh in silence. Well, too much silence to be honest.

Anne drinks the coffee which was given by that man in a sip. Insane way to get insane impression. “Still thirsty?” Anne shakes her head fast.

“Thanks.”

Silence around them until Anne thinks that she needs to say something to make a good conversation. She doesn’t know, she only thinks that she can’t let this man go. There’s something she has to know. “Uhm Sir, maybe you should use your magic and turn me into a goldfish.”

“Hey, i’m not going to do that dirty thing. It breaks the law, you know.”

A warm tone laugh from Anne makes the air colder. “Killing a monster like me can be categorized as breaking the law? No, big no. You will be known as the savior.”

“Well, nobody knows your are a monster. Ah, the old Marry is an exception.” The time sings for them, watchs their motions, let them trapped on a terrible awkward moment. “And now you are an exception too, Mr.Nobody.”

“Trust me, young lady, i have been through something you would never imagine before. Something bigger than your fear. You will never be the winner by escaping from the troubles you have made. Face it, honey. Face it as if you are ready enough to solve anything.”

“You talk as if you know about my problem, Mr. Nobody.”

Anne can’t see that man’s face. She has no power for that. So she stands up, begin to walk away. “I know more than you know. Stop being such an annoying person. You are better. Better then anyone. Have faith in yourself.”

Bam! That must be something big hit her heart. Wait? Do monster has heart? Ah, lets act as if monster also same as us. “my appearance is just a disguise. Don’t get fooled by it.” Warn Anne.

“Stop acting like you are having such a powerful throne. Go ask for Marry’s forgiveness, i’ll wait here. We are going to have a nostalgic thoughts sharing.”

Anne nods and leave. Now she knows what steps she should make.
