The wind blow, try to ease us who drained with sweats in this hot and humid weather.

 

It was so peaceful............ 

 

Act 3 - Rat

"Where is he?"




"In heaven."


"..." (Some light reflected from the eyes)


(All the members were aware, prepared to fight.)


"Hahaha! You are still boring as usual."



"I don't have time for joke."


"Do I looked like a liar?" (wink with her beautiful eye)


"But I don't know where is his heaven, what you want to do? Kill me?" (smile with pity)




He took out the gun and aimed at her. Men behind the girl all aimed to the guy. Men from the guy's side also do the same thing.


Run...


These tense environment would going to swallow me. My body could not move but shacking. I tried to clam myself but my head and breath felt heavy. I could not help but had cold sweat.




*Run! *



"No! "



All the eyes switched to me, but their hand still holding their gun and weapons.



I broke down. The tears that I tried to hold burst. I felt weak like a balloon that run out of air. I sat at the floor. My eyes looked front but did not stopped reflecting the image of that incident.



"Well, well, a rat? Shall I get rip of it?" The women walk toward me, that masked men chased her while fired a bullet just across her hairs.



The women throw her handkerchief up to the air. Men from the women's side started to action. The men being blocked by men. Everyone rushed out. The fight began. The sound of gun shoot, weapon, screams spread around the black street. The blood spreading around while some bodies collapse, stepping by others.



The sound of stepping came near me. She lifted my head with her hand. That brown eyes contacted with mine. The eyes seem liked laughing at a weak and helpless creature.



"What a big useless rat, don't even know how to run."



She laugh and left. I don't remember when I lost my sense. I just remembered that before I fainted, blood spread in front of me that redden my vision. A men collapse in front of me while the masked men stand in front of me.



He stared at me with that black eyes. Somehow, I felt some emotion flow from the sight. I wonder why that eyes will showed some....

Sadness

Act 2 - The Sudden Storm

From the candy shop, it took 10 minutes to arrive my house. Although I had bought an kiwi ice, I still could not stand this hot weather. I decided to take the short cut.

It was the tiny back streets just at the back of shops. Only some people used these roads as the back streets was dark. Strange, even the sun could not light these roads. It was liked the light being swallow by the streets. It was dark that I hardly saw anything but I can feel the cold air blowing on my face.

Sometimes I feel some fur, small things run across my feet but I don't care. It was I that disturb their world . Rats rarely hurt human but human did hurt among themselves by words and action.

"Woo... Woo..."

I felt the wind became strong. It try to warning me something:

Stop, you cannot go any further, you don't belong to here. Turn back!
I have to, I want to go home. I will just pass by here.

" Stop right there"

I stopped, reacted to the sound. I heard some noises from further. I walk further .

Is it just my imagination?

Somehow, my heart started to race. Something feel wrong.

As I turn the corner, I saw two group of people. One with a woman stand in front of a groups of men. The pretty blond woman filled with madness with the red dress, red shoes and red hat. Her red lips moved upward like she was enjoying some game. The other side with a group of men, a black and tall guy with the plain mask walked from the group. He walked toward the women.

Danger...

As I step back a step, that pair of black eyes stared at me. Like the black street that absorb the lights, I was being captured by that deep, black eyes.

Cold and chilly air blow my face. It was so cold that my body started to shake.
Run... Run... It is dangerous...

But I could not move my legs nor move my eyes from him.

I could not escape... I was captured by the sudden storm...

Story act 1 - Ice in The Hot Weather

It was hot. Very hot. The light shoot at my eyes, unwillingly, I left my bed to draw the curtain. Heat... I could not stand the heat. It made my head dizzy. It draw people into bad mood. That's why I don't like heat. After simple clean up myself, I took some money, went out from this oven.

"Girl, your kiwi ice."

The kind old man that sold the ice and candy handed this precious thing to me with that warn smile. I had knew him since I was a child. He was an old man who like to tell story that sound like advice. The Lazy Cat, The Black Bunny, The Dog who chase The Wind... kids love his story, same as me. Kid won't realise that this kind old man used to be the soldiers who stained his hands with blood during the war.

" If the way to protect my beloved person is to sacrifice others, I will do so."

I was 15 when he told me this. That time I don't know why he said that. I wondered why people doing that? In order to protect someone, we have to destroy others happiness? After went through that incident, I realise the reason: Selfishness. What is Evil and Good? They just separated by a thin line. Everyone just the same.

I wonder why I recall many things. Is it the heat that open the lock of my memory? Or this kiwi ice?The memory of father's holding me with one of his strong arm while the other hand holding the kiwi ice, mother wipe away the sweat of my faces with the favourite bunny handkerchief and I was licking the kiwi ice, they flashing in my mind. I somehow able to see the scene reflected at the maze. Is it the heat? Anyway, I just like this cold, sweet and sour feeling.

As I was enjoying this kiwi ice, I did not realise that a storm will change my whole life.
