GHOST AGREEMENT (THE MYSTERIOUS LAKE)

Part 1

(The story of Jean Eloise)

Casablanca lake actually is a very beautiful tourism object. The location of this lake is near by Laluna forest. If you want to visit this lake, you have to pass a traditional market, forest, then you can meet this lake.

I live here with my parents since I was born on 1987. My parents told me that they haven't another choice to stay except this place. My father was one of this lake employee, the job is take care all the visitors here. So, since that job is on my father's shoulder, my parents built a wood house near the lake.

Casablanca lake is really beautiful. When the sun rising in the east, the lake's water colour is blue - red, and the voice of bird is completely make us peace to live here. In this lake, there are so many beautiful flowers and plants.

In 1994, the visitors that came in this lake is in the highest amount. Casablanca lake is the most famous beautiful lake at that time. My father and mother earn much money from the visitors everyday until a bad day came to us. My mother also sell many snacks, fruits, and drinks to the lake visitors at that time.

There was a boat who will help the visitors enjoy the situation around the lake. When the boat was running, there was a child jump to the water. A terrible situation was came since that surprised event happened. After the child jump under the water, actually the parents will follow to jumped in. But, the people on the boat with my father who drive the boat was prohibited them.

Until today, that child corpse can not be found. In the last time, the group of detective, police, fireman, and all people try to looking for the child, but it was nothing. Since that bad condition happened, Casablanca lake was quite from visitors. There was so many strange events happened until the last time was sudden death of my parents.

I don't know exactly what is the reason of my parents death.

My name is Eloise, my complete name is Jean Eloise. I am sixteen years old right now. Since my parents passed away, my grandmother came to me. I don't understand about where she came from, she just asked me that she left my parents to live near the market, and when she heard my parents passed away, she came to live with me when I was at eight years old.

I call my grandmother with "Granny", my lovely granny, because I only have her in this world.

Once upon a time, I ever made Granny so sad and angry to me. I felt so lonely, and I want to go out from this home and lake, I want to play with other friends in the forest or market. I asked Granny to help her found wood or plant vegetables then selling in the traditional market.

"Please don't make me disappointed with you, Eloise," granny said to me in tremble body.

She looks like angry to me, but she holds to show her emotion in front of me.

"I didn't want to you help me for looking money. I just want to need you stay at home, take care of these plants, and if you feel lonely you can sing or writea poem near the lake. You just able to look the lake, don't ever try to drive a boat on the lake."

"But, you are too old for working, Granny. Let me help you."

"No, I'm still strong enough. Your job is keep this lake, you can play with Marion if he come here."

Granny starts to cry. I hug her body, and why granny so cool and rather wet.

"Forgive me, granny. I will follow all your suggestions, please don't cry," I asked her.

Since that day, I try to kill day by day with singing, painting, and doing household activities. I don't know how about my future, I just follow my life and try to be happy girl.

In this late afternoon, I am watering the flowers near the lake. Suddenly, I hear Marion's voice.

"Eloise, Eloise, are you free today?" asked my best friend, his name is Marion. Marion lives near the forest, his parents are vegetable seller in the market.

"Yes,I am free. My granny is cooking in the kitchen, I just enjoy all the sparkle stars above. What are you doing in this cool nighet outside? Do your parents know, you are going here?"

"Keep calm, Eloise. I already help them in the market. I run on the dark forest just to meet you, your beautiful eyes are always magic me in the night till I always difficult to sleep."

"Ha ha ha, we are just best friend, right. So, don't make me awful with the love in our friendship, okay?".

"Hmm, don't you want to follow me to go the capital city tomorrow morning, Eloise?" Marion asked me in serious face.

"No, Marion. I just enjoy here, spending the day with all fishes and plants in the morning until afternoon, and spending the evening and all the night with my granny. My granny said I am the best medicine after a long day outside."

"Hmm, my point is why do you refuse my offer to go the capital city, Eloise?"

"During my life till right now, I never left my house and this lake."

"This is the new thing if you want to join me, isn't right?" Marion still try to make me agree with his offer.

"No, Marion. I don't want to leave my home, however it just a while, because I already give my soul here."

"I am really proud with your loyality with this lake, Eloise."

"Just give me your best prayers, Marion."

"Eloise, Eloise, let's have dinner, the foods are ready," Jeannie yelled from the kitchen.

"Marion, let's have dinner in my house," I asked him, suddenly I look his face is looks like sad, maybe he is disappointed with me.

"Is it okay? Is your granny will not angry to me?" Marion's face is pale.

"No, I think. Let's go."

"I just afraid if your granny is angry if you have relation with a man."

"Take it easy, I will explain all about you in front of my granny. Just follow me, my granny always cooks delicious foods like my mother did in the past. Poor me! They leave me when I was eight years old."

"Don't be sad, I will accompany you and your granny in here," Marion smile is so sweet to me.

"I am happy to have the best friend likes you, Marion."

"Don't mention it. I just feel comfort with you, you really different with other shit friends near my home."

"Ha ha ha," I just laugh to Marion.

We enter my wood house, my granny already sit down on the floor, and the foods are totally ready. There are delicious burn bread, burn corn, tortilla, and any other.

"Hi, Granny. This is my friend, Marion. He lives around the market. His parents are vegetable seller there."

"Hi, Marion. Nice to meet you," Granny said.

"Nice to meet you too, Granny," Marion looks like so nervous.

"Let's have dinner together, I already prepared many foods," Grany looks very happy.

"Thank you so much, Granny," Marion and me said together, then we smile.
