3 Crystal Ice

Wait , I thought it was all over, it turns out I'm still alive, but ... it looks like I look different! (see from a puddle) Oh no! I'm a man about Moin-Moin's age, (fell on a new mission) what is this? My new mission.

"My name is Cristal, a quiet 10 year old boy, my weakness is laughter."

I don't understand this game."Hey magic leaf! Why did I change? " I screamed.

A leaf falls. "Keep on remembering your weakness."

Remember weakness, what I did back then until I disappeared? Nothing, I just stayed silent, suddenly ... I know. My weakness with Violet's body is jealousy, if I'm jealous then I'll disappear. I think that Buroe's grandmother made me jealous, maybe she already knew my weakness, but since when? Oh, ever since I ate that boiled egg, she said she promised Moin-Moin not to hurt me, but don't blame him if I leave without saying goodbye. She is a witch who is smart and cunning.

The magic leaf fell again. "Your mission is still the same, to find the truth".

Truth-seeking mission, it seems the truth about that witch. I had to go back, but neither a gust of wind nor the leaves led me to the witch's house.

"Magic leaf, you forgot to give me the wind direction!" There is no answer, again the leaves are angry again.

"I go!" It's annoying, how do I know where to go with a body this small, but if you look at it I prefer a male body, I feel manly and cool, if only I was taller.

It seems like it's the same road, I walked around it not on it. Now I can't see Moin-Moin, it will soon be dark and maybe a wild animal will pounce on me in the middle of the night. I run faster and stop. There seems to be a little hut on top of a cypress tree, I have to climb up and sleep over there.

"Hello!" it seems there are no occupants, I better sleep. Being human is tiring, I can't imagine how other humans who are more tired than me, they are fighting for life and a small part of them are fighting to die.

Passed day, fortunately it's safe here, no squirrel licking.

I started rushing for directions, unfortunately there was no clue. Hemm ... ah, there it is, the direction of the river. If I'm not mistaken, the river next to Buroe's grandmother's house flows towards the big rock near the banyan tree right in front of her. Means now I have to follow the flow of water that flows not against its direction.

I continued to follow the direction of the river, to the point that I didn't care about the wound on my leg, because my only goal was to meet Moin-Moin, and ... find the truth.

Arriving behind Buroe's grandmother's house, I ran when I saw Moin-Moin sunbathing in the front yard of the house. As soon as Moin-Moin turned towards me, I greeted her.

Moin-Moin stood up and tensed a little. "Who are you? Why are you here? " asked Moin-Moin in surprise.

Ouch, how can I repay you? Now I'm just a quiet kid, I don't know how to approach Moin-Moin. Eumm ... maybe I better speak sign language, or just give him rocks and charcoal to draw something on.

I gave Moin-Moin rocks and charcoal. "Draw something!" by gesture.

Moin-Moin frowned. "Answer me, who are you!" jolted Moin-Moin. I just glared at her and paused for a moment, thinking of another good idea that Moin-Moin could understand, maybe the method was a little strange, looking like a criminals.

Ouch ... think about how I can introduce myself without saying a word. The leaf was clearly written "I'm a quiet child" if I spoke, maybe I would also disappear. But, my weakness is laughing, why are you afraid to speak? Ah, the indifference disappeared too early, I better keep quiet.

Moin-Moin continues to watch me with hers sharp eyes. Suddenly, there was a scream from the bushes near the large rock beside the river. Moin-Moin ran towards her and I followed her.

Apparently, a white rabbit was attacked by a black cat with reddish yellow eyes. Moin-Moin helped the rabbit and chased away the cat that tried to scratch it.

"Oh sorry! Rabbit, your back is scratched by a naughty cat, but don't worry, I will take care of you and you won't be in pain anymore, "said Moin-Moin to the rabbit with a smile. Moin-Moin was very attentive to animals, even at hers aunt's house she only played with the ornamental fish and the neighbor's cat, as if she understood their words. But, maybe she did because she had no friends, poor thing.

Moin-Moin took the rabbit into Buroe's grandmother's house, she put it on the bed. Moin-Moin took cotton and topical oil to treat the rabbit's back, I could see Moin-Moin's delicate hand touching every strand of rabbit fur with feeling.

Looks like something happened in my heart, moving so fast. If I'm not mistaken, this strong heart movement is a feeling of love, that's what I saw on tv too. No, I think this man's body immediately responds in a negative direction. But, when I became Violet, I only had love like siblings. There it is, a little information I got from this body change, even though I'm a curse, but I'm also controlled by the body I use.

"Hey, why are you still here?" asked Moin-Moin, brought me out of my ignorant daydreams.

I gave him a thumbs up with a flat face, remembering to hold back my laughter.

"Insane, go away! " expel the Moin-Moin.

I gave her a cross of my index finger, meaning 'no' and I sat on the bed looking away.

"You're being rude!" snapped Moin-Moin as she stood up. She continued to glare at me with an angry grip in hers hand.I was shocked and stared back with fear. "And I like it," continued Moin-Moin, smiling suddenly. What does she mean, is she angry or not?

I sat down and swallowed my saliva, Moin-Moin's behavior was indeed much different from hers before eating the magic ball. In the past, Moin-Moin was a child with a soft heart and was full of worry, always smiling at anyone, even though she was an inanimate object and no one cared the same. The difference with now, Moin-Moin is becoming bolder and still soft-hearted, but she can also be rude without shame. Now acting more mature than girls over 16 years, she is quite confident with new things. However, luckily she still had a beautiful smile. Whether hers new behavior is better or vice versa. But, regardless of Moin-Moin, for me Moin-Moin is still Moin-Moin.

"What is your name?" asked Moin-Moin.

Ouch, what should I answer?

"You don't have a name, little bunny?" It turned out that Moin-Moin asked the rabbit, luckily. "Because you are manly, how about Rey, what a cool name right, Rey!" he continued stroking the head of a rabbit, I mean Rey's head.

I went out and glanced at the banyan tree right in front of Buroe's grandmother's yard, a strategic position to build a small hut on a large branch of a banyan tree that looked quite sturdy, beside it was a view of a river filled with flower gardens.

"What do you see?" asked Moin-Moin, looking for what I was watching.

I explain in sign language using my fingers to put together sentence-forms that she can understand.

"You mean ... you want to make a house on the tree? And you ask me if I allow it? (I nod) Hemm… just do it! " said Moin-Moin, allowing me to build a small hut. After the hut is finished, I will not feel lonely and afraid, because Moin-Moin is always beside me.

***

It was dark again, fortunately the little hut I had finished making, just as planned, the right window to look out over the flower garden across the river.

I continue to breathe fresh air from the window, I also see Moin-Moin from the door of hers house which is wide open. I better take him to see the beautiful view from this window, but how? Just throw stones, good idea.

Tupp!

Success, my throw hit the door. Moin-Moin was surprised and looking at me from below, I waved and led her up to the top of the hut. When she was wondering why I greeted him, I closed Moin-Moin's eyes and turned to the window. Then, open it slowly.

"Waaah! The scenery is so beautiful, it turns out that at night everything appears dark and bright blue, all reflected by the moonlight. Woooo… amazing, the stars are also shining brightly, "said Moin-Moin with a small laugh.

I saw Grandma Buroe who was monitoring me earlier. I don't think she knows I'm a curse she's trying to get rid of, but she's also a cunning and clever witch, don't underestimate. Suddenly she looked at me with a big smile, just like the first time she saw me.

"Hi, Grandma Buroe!" Say hello to Moin-Moin from above. "I'm down." Moin-Moin left, entered the house of a witch who seemed to her a hero.

It's 2 in the morning, I still haven't fallen asleep. Even though I should be enjoying this life that is not eternal, when else can I fall asleep like a human. But, that's the mystery that entered my mind, I still think about myself and Grandma Buroe, it feels like there is a relationship between me and him, whether it is revenge or hatred.

I'm also confused, I'm just a curse, but why am I involved with a dead human body, the magic leaf also told me to find the truth, even I don't know the truth about what, who, when, where, why, why should I ... Hhhhh ..... (sighs) Maybe I better get some fresh air outside.

The air outside was fresh and cold. Fun fireflies playing romp. The sound of the leaves is sweet, but it is sweeter the sound of a peaceful flower bed.

There seems to be a green light shining in Buroe's grandmother's house. If I want the truth should I take a little peek? Yes, I have to know what happened in that house.

I peeked a little from the hole in the hut, it turned out that Moin-Moin was playing a ball that could emit a green light at night. Huh, how relieved if it's not that strange (turn back) "Aaa ..." I was surprised when I saw Grandma Buroe standing behind me.

"Why young man? Are you surprised? " Grandma Buroe smiled broadly.

"Grandma, who's shouting?" asked Moin-Moin in panic.

"Look at this handsome man, I think he has a beautiful voice." Grandma Buroe left with a big smile.

"What, are you screaming?"

I think Moin-Moin suspected me of having a voice and lied to her.

"You can only scream, huh?" asked Moin-Moin sympathetically.

I daydreamed and nodded my head. Didn't I never say I was mute, why did she think that? Strange.

"Why are you still outside, you can't sleep either?" asked Moin-Moin, bowing hers head. I thinks he thought something so she couldn't sleep.

I took hers hand and took her to the hut above the banyan tree. Moin-Moin immediately smiled when she saw the view from outside the window. Moin-Moin is very beautiful with her smile up close, very close. It looks like this heart is beating fast, whether it's because the body is bleeding sweat or nervous. Well, the impossible doesn't need to be thought of. For now I'm glad Moin-Moin is still there for me.

***

My nose amused, I don't know what I breathe, but it feels like someone is deliberately making my nose amused. When I opened Moin-Moin's obvious eyes behind all this, she tickled my nose with chicken feathers and chuckled.

"Why did you wake up so long?" she asked.

Why did he ask, indeed I was a school student. Wait, did Moin-Moin sleep here last night? Oh no, I'm out of breath.

"Hey, why did you hit the head? Are you sick? " Moin-Moin saw me hitting the head, just wanting to make sure this was a dream or a reality.

"You are okay?"

Very chatty, just know asking.

"Oh ya, what's your name?" she asked again.

Ouch, how to make him know my name huh, umm ... oh ya, I have a jewel necklace as an identity. When I turn into human, the necklace is the only thing that can signify that I am the same person, it's just that if I am Violet then my diamond necklace is purple with lavender flower engravings in it. if now I am Cristal then the color of my pearl necklace is dark blue with the symbol of ice crystal in it.

Well, just show me ... (break up) for a moment, if I am Violet with the lavender symbol that is lost due to the jealousy caused by the lavender flower, won't that give me a clue. I'm starting to understand, everything comes from this necklace, now my name is Cristal with the symbol of an ice crystal gem that has a weakness for laughter. That means I always have to watch out for crystal ice and laughter.

"Hey ... are you daydreaming?" asked Moin-Moin, watching my unblinking eyes.

I shrug my shoulders,

"What a pity, you don't have a name. Um ... try to think of a good name, Julian! Martin, Paul, Robt! Ah, I think the name is too old-fashioned, oh or maybe you can use my uncle's name, Nuwa. Before he died he was a CEO in Africa, his name was cool enough to know, how?"

I nodded my head. It seems that Moin-Moin is very happy and excited, it feels like he wants to become an immortal, just with her.

"Moin-Moin! Grandma has something for you! " called Grandma Buroe from her window.

"Yes, Grandma. I'm down. Come on, let's go down Nuwa!"

Why are Moin-Moin so close to me all of a sudden?

"This is a beef soup, eat it!" Grandma Buroe ordered the Moin-Moin.

I'm not sure Moin-Moin will be all right. But he, Moin-Moin, really enjoyed it. Maybe not now she hurt Moin-Moin, but it looks like Grandma Buroe is very nice to Moin-Moin, so what is her purpose.

"Are you just being quiet, young man?" Grandma Buroe asked me.

"Nuwa eat a little, do you want to starve or want me to tickle your nose again, hahaha ...." Moin-Moin made me blush and laughed unconsciously, maybe it's okay while the ice crystals aren't here.

I took a sip of Grandma Buroe's meat soup. Did Grandma Buroe make it yesterday? It felt cold not warm, could it be that Grandma Buroe put ice crystals in my soup bowl on purpose. This is the plan she made to get rid of me, she smiled broadly. He knows my existence in any form and my weakness. I hope Moin-Moin doesn't see me, I'm sorry Moin-Moin, I hope we can meet again somehow.

"Grandma, where is Nuwa?"

"He will soon go to see his mother."

last i heard.
