My name is Eva, one of the fairies who came to earth
from a kingdom, which placed out of earth named Iris. A kingdom which had a big
war on recent years, and made bad effects to their fairies. Our kingdom destroyed
and the fairies couldn’t make their relationship harmoniously. We lived
individually and we also forgot about love. Until this case made our king
should have a consideration to get solution, to make our kingdom better than
before. So it was the reason, why I should came here and change my self into a
human like earth’s citizen.
I have to disagree when king commanded us to descend
to earth. Accorded on his mind, earth is one of the planets in solar system,
which had the lovable citizens who lived peacefully. We should learn to them.
That’s why king change us became a human who spread on earth. He also made us
some rules and we must remember it correctly. One of them; the fairies couldn’t
love with another fairy. We should find our love with the real earth’s human. I
thought it’s ridiculous. How can I recognized
that human was also fairy or not? meanwhile, I also hard to recognize myself
since I change into a human.
But, that things removed by my mind since I met
Rafael, a earth’s boy with his handsome face and left me a nice impression. I
get used with him, until I didn’t realize that I remembered his habbits. One of
them, he likes to sat down on one of the swings, in the garden of a corner city.
The garden that will be my last place in this earth, and change me into a statue
with another fairies -who I didn’t know them- like what king’s said before. A
lovable garden for me, because this garden left me some sweet memories since I fall
in love with him.
“Eva, I wanna tell something to you…” said Rafael,
near from my last day in earth. I knew from king’s code to me, which said that
I just have a several days again to stay in this earth.
“What is that?”
Rafael groped his pocket, “Alya gave me this present
when I met her. She said, it’s a sign of our friendship.” Rafael gave a little
box to me.
I grumbled. Ah, can he never mentions Alya in our
conversation? Can he looks at me just once? I wanna collide about king’s rules
to never show our real identity to other. I wanna show it to Rafael, so he could
approve my love. But I can’t. I still kept that secret hardly, while in another
case I showed my feel to him.
“Raf, I have to confess something to you. It’s my
first time, so I can accept whatever your answer…”
And then, I tell to him what on my feel exactly.
Rafael listened to me well. Like what I said before, whatever his respond to
me, I’ll accept it as my consequence.
***
I am Rafael and I’ve known that Eva would say that
words to me. I regret, ‘cause I have to gave a negative answer to the Iris’
prettiest fairy. Where I known that? The simpliest answer is; we’re the same.
We’re came from our similliar kingdom and forbidden to love each other. I should
felt enough when I placed in the same place and being close with her like this.
A new case for us, because we never met before since Iris had a big war.
“Forgive me, Eva. I’ve loved Alya. Yes, she is the
person that I want.” I answered. Then I bowed my head, so Eva can’t found my
lie. Eva just has to know that I loved Alya, a girl who loves read some books
and has a close relationship with me nowadays. A big lie for me, because I
never accept Alya more than my close friend. And I know, I can say that only behind
her to save her conscience.
I saw Eva bowed her head looks like she wanna hid
her tears. Then she nodded, “I understand, thanks for the answer.”
Once more, I just told sorry to her. By king’s
command that we have to obey, I should did it, so king wouldn’t punish me with
his severe punishment. I wished, when we return to our kingdom, we wouldn’t
meet again like this and share our love to each other. I expected it so.
***
And my name is Alya, a girl who Rafael said that he
loved me in front of Eva. Too painfull for me when I heard that, because I knew
that’s a lie. I loved Rafael since too much moments that we’ve passed. Altough
I buried it, since I knew that Rafael often mentioned Eva as our conersation’s
topic when we’re together, I also knew that they had a same identity, the fairy
from Iris!
Many reference that I’d read about it before. A
kingdom which named from Greek, was unstrangered to me. Yeah, just a little
person known about the Iris’ problem. All of fairies can’t recognized their selves
what the difference between them and the real human. And just a few person can
saw the difference of them clearly. So, I should be gratefully ‘cause I’ve
found it.
One day, when I was beside Rafael at the library.
I’ve suprised when I saw him appeared-dissapeared on one time. I scared, was it
the time that he should go? My tears were fall when I saw him became a shadow. I
remembered about this information, it was one of sign that they would back to
their kingdom. They form changed into a statue and stood up in the garden which
never visited by the rainbow, and Rafael loved it most.
“I love you, Rafael..” said Eva several days ago
which can’t be removable. A simple word that hurt me, because I also should did
that to him. And hoped him beside me, not by her.
But, here I am. In this garden, two couple statues
stood up accompanied the swings. My eyes looked at them. Under this heavy rain,
I took shelter with my umbrella and hidden my tears commemorated Rafael. I
missed him…
Then the rain fall drizzly carried a nice scenery
made me frighten. The two white statue dominated by the colours of the rainbow.
Very beautifull! I thought that was unbelievable, but it’s true! I smiled, felt
proud ‘cause I could see that scenery. A written fact about it that I’ve read
it before, that the rainbow came to them because they found their love with fellow
fairies.
It’s a little sign that showed to me now. Eva and
Rafael got happiness, they found their love. And maybe one by one of fairies
also like that. Implied me that I should have my prosperity by found my love,
started with forget them and make a new memories.
