Frozen Soul Trapped In Box Of Love

An old woman that standing alone the roadside cursing out loud when a young women riding a bicycle with rough. She passed the road in high speed. When she saw the white wood fence, she know she almost reached at her destination.

She overslept at the beach, in rush she cursing in her head. She was standing in front the kitchen door and heard the sound of pan being wash roughly in the sink.

"Will I be safe when I open this door?"

The young lady let out a soft sigh. She was hesitated so much that she bit her lips.

"I give you 3 second to come in"

A middle age woman voice behind the door send shiver to her spine. Her hand instantly open the door and the shriek sound was followed by a murderous stare directly at her.

"Err… Mona…"

She taking a deep breath before enter the kitchen and there she saw a woman who was in her motherly mood cutting fish with anger.

"Do you know what time it is? Are you having fun sleeping at the beach again? If you really wanna die, you just have to tell me. I can manage it within a minute"

A dagger just flew out of nowhere through the air and flew above Aya head.

'Well you cannot kill someone under your protection. I am your daughter or at least even not by blood' But the voice is stuck at Aya throat. She don't even dare to take a breath.

"Well…well for unknown reason, it is your first time ever to not even say even a word? This is fishy then this fish"

The middle age women cross her arm and staring at me silently and her eyes become smaller than her left eyebrow rise.

"Sorry… already late"

Aya rush out before Mona make her another knife fly out in the air.

"You seriously have to come back for dinner. No excuse young lady!"

Mona voice clearly heard before the door shut behind Aya back. She stand by her two feet and tie her hair. She grabbed her bag at the bicycle and decide just to take a walk today.

It will take 30 minutes from the house to Mr. Duran house. It is at the hillside of the beach. The house easy to spot as it far from other house.

That old man like to have privacy so he buy that land to make sure his house is standing alone screaming 'to not disturb me'. The smells of the sea and the breeze give a chill through Aya neck.

She felt her leg getting heavier and her step getting slower. But somehow she already reached the front door of the modern wooden residence that has wood's cream wall colors all over building.

"Finally I am here…"

Aya let out a soft sigh. Normally she will be very happy to get in the house but today, she had bad feeling lingering around.

She take out the house key from her bag. As soon the door opened, the blue ocean was extend outward in front her eyes. The sliding door at the living room was openly wide.

Like a painting of a blue ocean and white sand, the view absolutely stunning. Even she already seen this for a year, it never fails to amaze Aya.

"Is it the old man already arrive? He said he is coming tonight".

Aya go the balcony to find out if he was there. It is a large balcony where the old man always make a gathering for friends and close family. It is empty. She walk around and see if the old man was at the beach.

This house have its own private beach. The blue ocean just around hundred meter from the house. You get down from the stairs of the balcony you already could feel the white sand beach with your feet.

"Mr. Duran… are you here? It is almost lunch time. Should I make you something to eat?!"

Aya feet slowly walk to the stairs. She climbed the stairs while her eyes feels dried. She scratch her forehead and her view slightly blur.

There is weird scents lingering in the house. Aya can smell a perfume lingering faintly, also cigarette and alcohol everywhere inside the house.

Aya looked around, as much she knows that old man doesn't have this weird perfume, and he rarely drink or smoke, or in other word he don't even smoke.

"Thief? But how stupid a thief could be to leave a sign like all this shit"

She look around and everything in a right place. All the expensive stuff are there so it is definitely not a robbery.

The shower is running and someone inside. Aya felt something is not right and look around for something to defense herself. Aya stare at the door and wondering should she go through the door or wait that person to come out.

While she was having a wild thought in her head, she heard a click sound and the bathroom door was open. She cant move and felt her whole body freeze like an ice.

A pair of feet standing infront of her, she slowly raise her head and there was a tall guy who was now staring directly to her eyes.

The tall guy just have one step towards and the smell of apple from his shower, for unknown reason that smell seems makes Aya scared.

Her hand trembling to the unknown source. She take step backwards and could felt her back touch the cold concrete wall.

No smile at his face and nothing Aya can read from his look. He take another step towards her and just in time the phone at the table beside them ringing, he pick up the call while his eyes staring at the young lady in front him.

"Uncle, she is here…yeah.. uh... urm.."

"Hello…"

Aya turn her back to him and facing the wall. Her nose already touch the wall but it is better than being stared by unknown man.

"Hello Aya, I am sorry , I was forgot to tell you that my friend's son will be staying there few months for his recovery. I am not gonna be there until next month. Please take care of him and the house. He is like a son to me. He is kind but there is something bad thing happen to him now I really hope you can understand his behavior. I have to go… Thank you sweetheart".

The old man say everything in just one breath and suddenly hang up the call. Doesn't even know what to say, Aya slowly put the phone and thinking on walk away quickly but then spontaneously her body turn around by itself and face him.

The heart tells her to run away but her mind says she need to say sorry for being rude and need to introduce herself properly.

The guy just walk passed by even though he saw she was trying to say something. She can hear the sound of the cricket, it is embarrassing for being ignored like that.

Aya tried to stop him, but before she reach his hand her head feel dizzy. The tiny body become light while her feet was shaking and her hands were trembling. She try to hold on something but her hand only grasping on air and she bumped into the floor.

She felt a cold stare that pierce her heart. It felt so uneasy that make her want to vomit. Her body react through this unfamiliar situation but it only comes in a vague image.

"Is this coming from the memory that lost from my mind? Don't be weak bitch"

She filled her mind with those phrase over and over again. Remind herself to not give in the pain that struck her heart and head.
