Chapter 10 Piercing Boredom

They were joking and chatting under the night sky. The bonfire had started to go out. Now they were all asleep under the dark night. The deep silence made them sleep soundly under the stars. One week before. Precisely today at Selena's house. Selena was in her room and then left the room to go into a room that turned out to be a room where her mother and a customer were talking about something. There, apparently looked around and found it was in a room that had a lot of antique decorations. Not long after, Selena saw some items that were decorations for the room and pay close attention. His mother then came to the place and told him to clean it before the shop finally opened. Selena then obeyed and apparently not long after, the shop was opened. Today is Sunday, so he is off. This Sunday morning, Selena became a shopkeeper and then saw some customers who came to visit to buy antiques that were sold in her shop. The customer bought two night lamps with unique patterns. Selena then get money from the customer. It was already noon, not long after another woman came to visit. However, now the woman had come to do something. The woman entered the door of the room in the shop and then inside she sat on a chair opposite Mrs. Luna. The woman then said that she wanted to predict herself using tarot cards. Mrs. Luna then agreed and immediately took out the card in front of her and asked the woman to choose it carefully. After finishing choosing, in the shop where Selena was on guard, now she got another customer who visited her shop. this time the customer looks like a collector and the person immediately buys an item that is there.
While buying goods, suddenly the woman who had come earlier had finished and now came out of the room and met a customer who was in the shop. Surprised, the customer continued to see him out of the store and then asked Selena who was sitting in the front seat of the cashier's desk a question. The customer seemed curious about what the customer had done earlier. Selena calmly tried to explain to the customer in front of her what the previous customer had done. The customer then listened to his words carefully and was only silent for a moment, no longer asking Selena as much as before.
"What has he done?" ask the customer to Selena
"You mean the woman from before?"
"Yes. Why did you just come out of the door? Is there a shop inside too?”
"Oh, about that... I'll explain it to you."
"What's in there?"
"Inside there is a room where someone is eager to know good fortune or vice versa which can be answered using a card."
“You mean like a prophecy?”
"Precisely."
"Oh, I see. It was fun too.”
"Are you interested?"
"I'll consider it first."
The customer then finished talking and now that person has left the shop as soon as he finishes paying for the goods he bought. Selena who stayed in the store all day and had absolutely no intention of going outside. Not long after, Selena got a message from Arnette asking her to go somewhere tonight. Selena then replied to the message and immediately sent it. Then he continued his job as an antique shop keeper belonging to his family. The shop is located in the city center, near several flower shops. His shop reads "Lunastore." Some people, one of which is those who are in the collector's circle, are very familiar with the store and are often their customers. This time, in a different place precisely at the Arnette residence. Arnette who just came out of his room is now sitting on the sofa in the living room watching television. Arnette looked like she was bored and she looked at the television with a sad look on her face. Not long after, he went to the bathroom and after getting out of there Arnette decided to go somewhere so that she no longer felt bored. Arnette went somewhere and there it was arrived at a karaoke place. Even if it's just being alone, that doesn't make Arnette annoyed and now Arnette was in the karaoke room singing a few songs. Meanwhile, in a different place, precisely in a photography studio where Marchell works part time. He and Jimmy are doing various projects and it's quite busy. They both take a lot of photos and then do the editing even though it doesn't take long but it's enough to be careful. Marchell, who was serious about his part of the job, then he got a call from none other than Meredy. He slowly picked up the call and started talking to her on the phone.
"Hello."
"Marchell where are you now?"
"I'm at work. What's the need?"
"Can you come to my shooting studio after work?"
"Yes?"
“Some of the photographers here are having problems so we need a replacement. Just invite your friend."
"What? but that..."
"Come on, this is a chance for both of you."
"Okay. Wait. We'll be there soon."
Marchell then hung up the call and now he started to finish his work and after everything was done, Marchell met Jimmy and he then told what Meredy had just said via phone call.
"What? are you serious?" said Jimmy with a surprised face and he still couldn't believe what Marchell said
"There is no more time. Let's go."
"Okay. Wait a moment."
The two of them then intended to go there and now that they were done preparing, they went there without waiting long. The distance from their studio to the shooting location was quite far so they had to hurry. After arriving at the location, the two of them immediately entered a building and finally arrived at a shooting room for Meredy. The people who were there greeted them well and it didn't take long for them to get to work. This time, Arnette who had returned from her karaoke place and herself were sitting on the bank of the river where there were several people fishing. An old man was not far nearby and then Arnette saw the man fishing. When you see it, it's boring. Where everyone who was there just sat while waiting for the bait they used to be eaten by the fish. Arnette then sat looking at the flow of the river water that continued to flow without a burden which looked very different from her life. Not long after that, feeling bored, Arnette finally tried to control the uncle who was there.
"Excuse me, Uncle," said Arnette to the uncle beside her.
"Yeah, what can I do to help young man?" the uncle asked Arnette who was sitting there watching him fishing.
"Does uncle often worm in this place?"
"Yes. Of course because it's not boring here.”
"I see. Oh yes, uncle, how much did you get?”
"Just a little and now seems to have started to get trapped," said the uncle and then when he pulled the hook, what he said was true. the fish was caught and now it has been put in a container.
"Wow, that's great uncle."
“This is just a coincidence. Looks like I'm in luck."
"Isn't it usually like this?"
"Yeah you're right. usually only a few and it's a long wait."
"Oh I see."
"What are you doing here young man?"
“I was just walking around here. The weather today is very supportive.”
"Are you thinking about something?"
"Yes?"
"Usually, today's children when they are in a certain phase often come to a place even if it is only limited to venting their emotions."
"It..."
"It doesn't matter if you become one of them. It's only natural for a child your age."
"Does uncle have children?"
"Yes, now the child lives outside the city."
"Oh, then I'll excuse myself uncle."
"Yes."
Arnette then left the place and now she is back to lamenting her fate which is somewhat confusing. This time Arnette had arrived in front of her house and was now starting to enter her house. Once inside, Arnette saw the atmosphere of the house that had been no different and sometimes thought of just going to a new place. He was then in front of the monitor and started looking at internet forums to just get rid of that boredom. In the internet forum, someone has just commented on how he is currently feeling and according to most people it is normal. Arnette then wrote something else and got a response right away. He, who saw their response, mostly recommended vacation spots in the wild. Far from the civilization of the city and even contains only something wild. Seeing these comments, Arnette immediately looked for some references to make herself a tourist destination this summer. And it turns out that most of what appears is mountains and beaches. Arnette then took a deep breath and then looked up at the ceiling of her room. Not long after, there was a notification and he was surprised when he read it.
