Chapter 6 Early Summer

Today is the day that summer comes. Everyone seems to be enjoying this holiday season with friends and even those around them. This summer has made many people happy because nothing bad happened at the start of this season. The atmosphere of the city was so bustling and people started to go somewhere. On this hot morning, Marchell was waiting for his friends at an airport. They planned to go to the place that Joe had recommended a while ago. Marchell, who was already at the airport, then called them. Not long after, before Marchell was about to contact them unexpectedly they had arrived. Arron came along with Ethan and then followed by Selena and Arnette. This time they had gathered and were just waiting for one more person. that person was none other than Joe himself. 5 minutes later, Joe finally came. and the six of them then went to an island not far from Joe's hometown in the Medieval archipelago. This morning's departure went smoothly and now they were all on the plane relaxing. Air travel to the islands apparently takes about 4 hours. Those who were resting on the plane and then getting food. The flight took quite a long time, that's why they were now enjoying their break. Arnette who sat next to Selena then asked her something.
"Selena,"
"What?"
"You brought earphones?"
"Yes. Want to borrow?"
"Yes."
"Here," said Selena, handing her her earphones.
Unconsciously, they finally arrived at the Medieval Islands airport and got off the plane. Not long after, they immediately boarded a travel car and headed to a town on the beach. Enthusiastically, Arron then looked so happy that it made them feel ashamed to have brought him. Joe together with them finally headed to his hometown and there was a city on the beach with views of the beach that you could see even if you only saw it from behind a tall building. It only took one hour from the airport and now they had arrived at the city called Boreas. Arriving there, they immediately went to Joe's family residence. Those who later arrived there finally met his uncle Joe who did live in this city. Joe then introduced the five of them and now they were tidying up their luggage.
"It's finally here," said Arnette.
"My back hurts," said Ethan
"We'll rest here and once we've recovered, the journey will begin again," Joe told them all.
"Okay."
The view of the beach town that looks beautiful makes them play for a while in the beach area and then they party at night by holding a BBQ. The scenery that looks beautiful with the sun starting to set in the afternoon and changing with the beautiful moonlight at night makes this place very beautiful and feels like heaven. Selena who then saw the beautiful sky and herself fell silent before joining them again who was busy celebrating the party, Joe who was the host was busy grilling meat and he then saw them partying.
5 days before summer. People are busy with schoolwork and even their work. This afternoon, Marchell who had just returned from the academy himself then went to his workplace and there he began to be busy with his work. when he got there, Jimmy, who was editing photos, seemed to have a hard time because there were so many requests from clients. Marchell quickly took over and they both managed to finish well.
"Let me help you," said Marchell.
"Please. They're all in the same file."
"Okay."
"You came home early today?"
"Yes. Because there is only one course so I can come here early.”
"That's great to hear."
"Why?"
“Today we will be very busy so prepare yourselves.”
"Okay."
They are both seriously working on the project in earnest. Meanwhile at Ethan's place of work, he is making lots of drinks because today there are so many customers. Ethan began to get overwhelmed and finally the job was finished right at night at 9 pm. The shop closes at 9 p.m. and now he's on his way home. On his way home, he then had time to stop at a place in the area there. He curiously entered a shop that seemed to have a lot of antiques. Ethan, who has a hobby of collecting antiques, made him enter the shop. However, when he entered the shop an old woman had just come out of a door in the room inside the shop. Ethan then asked him.
"Excuse me, are you the shopkeeper?" said Ethan politely to the old woman and then the old woman answered.
"I'm a customer here."
"Sorry?"
"If you're looking for this shopkeeper, that guy's off today."
"Then?"
“You can directly meet the owner. That person is behind that door,” the woman said as she left the shop.
"Yes thanks."
Slowly Ethan entered the door and as soon as he entered, he was surprised by the room behind the door which looks very beautiful like being in a noble's room and there are lots of antiques and very nice decorations. In front of him was a table and there was a young-looking woman sitting there. Ethan, who was surprised by his existence, made him feel confused and he immediately asked the owner of this shop."
“Excuse me, are you the owner of this shop?” said Ethan to the woman in front of him.
"That's right me. What's wrong young man?"
"Shall I buy something?"
"Sit down."
"What?"
“You came here as a pure soul.”
"Eh?"
"Please choose," said the woman who then showed the tarot cards in front of her.
"Wait a minute. I came here to buy things not to predict my fate.”
"Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
"What?"
"Perhaps you are confused right now. But, your footsteps coming here wasn't by chance. So are you going to squander this opportunity?”
“Sorry in advance, but I...”
While they were talking, suddenly a woman came into the room and immediately surprised Ethan with her arrival. That person was none other than Selena. Ethan then called him and Selena was also surprised that Ethan was there.
"Selena?" said Ethan.
"Oh, you. What are you doing?" said Selena who then looked at the woman in front of Ethan.
"You two know each other?"
"Of course. This person is my friend in college.”
"I see," said the woman as she reorganized the tarot card in front of her.
“Wait, you work in a place like this?” asked Ethan.
"Yes. So what? Is there any problem?"
"Not. I'm just asking."
"And the person in front of you is my mother Luna," said Selena, pointing at her.
"What?"
Ethan was shocked to face the reality in front of him and then he did not stop silent. Ethann, who didn't believe it, then just sat quietly in the chair until Selena finally came to bring him drinking water. He then looked at Selena and then was about to say something.
"You live here?"
"Yes. My house is on the top floor. You want to visit?"
"Ah no. I just want to buy things in this shop.”
"Oh, what stuff?"
"Something sparkling."
"Everything sparkles. Which one do you want to buy?”
"Pen. I want the antique pen I saw in the storefront earlier.”
"Okay, I'll bring it."
"Here," Selena said as she handed it to him.
"How much it costs?"
"No need. Just take it."
"But..."
"Don't protest and just take it."
"Thank you."
Not long after, Ethan came home from the shop and then when he passed the door and was inside the shop, he met Mrs. Luna who was standing in front of the cashier counter. Ethan then said goodbye to him and he was just about to open the door of the shop, Mrs. Luna again said something that made her confused.
“You will remain pure no matter what.”
"Oh, yes. See you later."
Ethan then left the shop and now he was walking towards the bus stop thinking about what the woman had just said. Meanwhile, Marchell had just arrived at his apartment door and he then met a man who was a friend of his uncle who accidentally came to this apartment because he wanted to meet his uncle.
"Who are you?" Marchell asked the person in front of him.
"I'm Smith. Is your uncle at home?”
"Oh, sorry. He's not here. Maybe at home or at work.”
"What?"
"Actually this is my house. My uncle doesn't live here."
"Oh yes, fine thank you."
"Yes. You're welcome."
The person then left the apartment and was later seen calling someone. Marchell immediately entered his house and as soon as he turned on the light, there was no one. Marchell went straight to his room to rest. Meanwhile, Ethan, who has now arrived at his house, then gets angry with his brother and they immediately argue. The night looks so calm. This time, Selena, who was in the room in her shop, then saw a book that her mother usually reads.
"What are you doing?" asked her mother who suddenly came and saw her.
“Ah, I just saw this.”
"Are you interested?"
"What?"
"Didn't I tell you. As time goes on you will also be on the same path.”
They are facing each other.
