To Murder your Love

The Flying Fox

“You can do it, Tif!”

I shouted at Tifanny down the platform of where she resides. I know it would be that way or another, for Tifanny to be up above the current position she was in. Amanda has handed her the most difficult exhibit of them all : the leap-of-faith obstacles on the fourth chapter of the trial, just Like what I was doing awhile ago. 

She can do this!

(whistle!)

Mr. Bagus blows the sign. Amanda’s teammates is in the first on the grip of the ladder-net before her, but happened to be stuck in the second-row of the block. As a male contender on her right, Bima could manage to jump over the net quicker than most of his rivals, before giving away the baton to his team’s second runner for crossing the line of thread-bridge of the next one to their eyes. Apparently, Bima’s team has picking the most suitable high-tower of a female to run the course. She could spring up the threads without much trouble to begin with. She does a few jumps, even, somewhat trying to mock Michael of our team from the previous run.

Yeah, Michael was big and tall enough to occupy the whole ropes to stand firm. He could stabilize himself whenever the ropes gone wild, while also putting his own balance to contain the vibration of his walk. This woman, however, is in different league than my man for the bridge. She twists the upper-side cord numerous times, juggling herself backwards, even locking herself on the rope without much trouble later on.

It’s all occurring at the same time with her eyes gazing to Michael. What is happening?

(pat-pat)

“Hey, what’s your business with her, man? She seems so focused on you all the time.“ I rolled a question to the man himself. For the answer, he shrugs.

“Mary’s my twin sister. We’re competing for the fastest person to reach the end of the bridge.” Michael sighed,” She’s losing in that term, but surely wins the crowd with that moves.”

(clap-clap-clap)

A round of applause for Mary, indeed. She deserves to be the champion on this round.

(jump)

After playing on the ropes and waiting for her opponents to chase, Mary finally concedes after Amanda’s team passing on the baton to the second. A small bounce is sufficient for her to clear the stage, planting the stick for third-sprinter to jump on the logs.

“Whooo! Come on, Amanda!”

Sounds like her fans are cheering for their queen. For me, their leader is nothing but a disgrace to be admired, especially with that sort of attitude towards my dear Tifanny. That disgusting face needed a fist-form of makeover to re-shape her gifts of God.

‘Hey, that’s a bad character from you, Yuda. Never wished for-‘

Sure thing, daddy. I will not doing that for the third time, I promise.

From my perspective, the third obstacle is a lot easier than everything on their run. Amanda just have to be sure on her steps to fast-walking on the platform. The wooden logs would be dropped-down once she reached the center of gravity, but it won’t bother her pace if she watched my team’s feat in previous contest.

(bam!)

Yes, she had observed our plot for the third. Amanda swiftly jump across when the peak starts falling to the bottom.

(clap-clap-clap)

“Whoo! You’re the best, Amanda!”

Amanda’s hive are roaring like crazy when she reached the edge of the second platform. Not a single person wanted to praise such a simple drive, including me, since they saw it from our team’s incredible performance. Otherwise, She’s bending down to her pack, making them madly-springs out of happiness by the gesture in return.

Ugh, I really want to puke from that smug of hers.

‘It seems she could be one of the candidate for a murderer, Yuda.’

Are you for real, God-pretender? She’s.... Ugh, it’s true. A ruthless being like that witch would lay revenge to my butt once I botched my chance to give her my love.

‘Have you failed, though? From what I’ve seen, there’s still a room to improve for you. Being patient, for example.’

Hm, if you say it like that, I’m totally under fire for the time being. Do I have much time, though?

(Tap)

“Time’s for you, sloth.” Amanda yelled loud and clear to Tifanny.

“....”

My babe, as I had given to her yesterday, choose not to respond on the devil’s taunt. Most of the crowds fell in silence, as much, while those babboons from her circle following Amanda's example and yelling in similar manner to their leader.

“Boo-hoo! A sloth would make Amanda lose the game!”

“That ass-brain won’t get there anyway.”

“Wanna cry, cheek-bum?!”

Ugh, I want to shove a fist that demon so bad right now....

‘remember your role, Yuda. Do not interfere if you have no idea on the outcome.’

Just a hunch, daddy. I know the rules, alright.

(slap!)

“Oww!”

“That’s a kiss from me, Tiffy-do.”

Amanda’s increasing the tension by hitting Tifanny’s bottom as she started to run, and I am here motionless to her display of dominance, painfully-watching Tifanny up-close on being tortured down below.

Show what you’re made of, Tifanny. You can make it!

One step of a ladder, two, and three of them in ease with quite a speed of the run. Tifanny is a mixed-martial arts practitioner and a natural athlete, to explain on how she could accomplish that sort of agility in a flash. In one of our night-time online discussion, she confessed of that when we’re in deep talk session of an RPG game. That time, I was so hooked with the protagonist and of how he could beat many swordsman without a weapon on his hand. 

In short, that character is a martial artist, and that’s the beginning of them all to our relation afterwards.

Tifanny touched the final moment of the run. She’s standing straight on the top of the logs and looking at the dangling ball to rip off its tail.  It’s moving slightly on the right by the gust of wind, back and forth as it swings, making the stunt harder than it looks.

“You can do it, Tif!” I shouted at her, hoping that she would hear me before doing the jump.

What? Why’s she bending down? No, don’t do that, or.....

(jump)

No!

(crash)

----

Tifanny’s directly springs off the ledge that afternoon. I won the entire game for the chain streak, but at what cost? My dear lady’s laying unconscious in the middle of her play. Doctor said it’s all fine on her. Tifanny’s been sleeping at the time, just incapable to reach the ball and puts it down to the ground.

As I have inspected, someone’s been plotting on her from the beginning. Tifanny said that she felt a sting from Amanda’s slap just before climbing the ladder. It takes around 5 minutes for Tifanny to reach the end of the rock’s formation, and from a short research on my phone so far, a shot of midazolam with customized needle could be the reason of her sudden fall on sleeping the day before.

That witch must be taking a full bottle on her, darn it!

To add the injury, Amanda did it all under my plain-sight. Why is Mr. Bagus insisting not to split the two up for me?

Could be that teacher’s also involved in this horrific plan. I wonder why....

---

It’s the third of our outbound days. Tifanny’s been threatened by Amanda’s very existence in the game. I shared my grief to her current situation last night, but I think it’s nowhere enough of consolation for her state.

Ah, that’s her. Welp, she’s definitely in a bad mood right now. The circles around her eyes are even more blackened than ever before. She is in distress, I guess she haven’t get a sleep for today’s run.

“How’s your-“

“Not interested to talk, Yuda. Might be later.” She put a palm between our face before leaving me dumb-founded.

Is this too much, God-pretender? Why I can’t lay a smack to that witch?

‘Confidential information, Yuda. I’m just telling you that from the start of our journey.’ The voice of an old man answers my doubt,’ You have to be so sure of a relationship to begin the path of your desire.’

(poof)

He left me out in question, huh. damn it, you cheeky God!

---

“Okay, sisters! After two games, we’re now having a smash down this bridge. Wish of luck from me, if you need it.”

Mr. Bagus informed the students on the challenge before us all. It’s bungee jumping down the canyon of Puncak pass, which was formed naturally by the winds and extreme weather, and we have to withstand the flow of adrenaline from the freefall.

(swoosh!)

“For this time, your only opponent is fear. You have to swipe that away and returning to school in glory.” Mr. Bagus clamored, speaking high by his mouthful wisdom towards us.

We know that it’s on the script, anyway, so there’s no actual spirit in it for us to swallow.

(swoosh)

Today’s kind of rare for us. We have no competition or rush-up of a challenge to defeat. Twenty strings was resting before us to play on the game. An instructor were specifically assigned for each platform to tie us on the elastic threads. This is definitely a first time for me, since I haven’t done this in my previous life before.

Hopefully nothing would harm Tifanny on this game today. I don't know what would be, unless if that witch bribed the instructor earlier.... 

Shoo, shoo, bad thoughts!

It's Tifanny's time....

(slap!)

“Oww! I’m just-“

“Don’t you dare getting close to me, Amanda!” Tifanny rattled on her as soon as she get closer. 

Yup, I ordered Tifanny to slap Amanda before she could lay down her hands. I know that she would do it, but I have no idea if Tifanny's going to unleash the rage this early. 

There’s no way this would initiate something bad for her, right?

(swoosh!)

“Wahoo!!”

The first twenty are in flight of the free-fall at the moment. We’re standing in queue, waiting for our turn to be called. It’s kind of cloudy with a hint of storm, somehow, but I have my own jacket prepared for the cold-breeze beforehand. It’s unfortunate that we have to undress once we arrived on the platform to begin the session.

“Tifanny Leona!”

The instructor has yelled of my babe’s name. She’s raising her hands to answer them in advance. A short time after, she’s under small-time investigation of the woman before her to locate any possible issue. They’re get going from her chest, stomach, then her thighs...

“Ow!”

Hm? A slap on the butt? It's quite familiar.....

“Oops, sorry. Might be too strong for you, huh?” The instructor reasoned briefly to the spontaneous shouts of Tifanny at the time,” Now go!”

(jump)

She waits for no time to flight off the ground. It’s exciting to have this first time to release some stress that I had from Tifanny’s problems. From the information I’ve gathered, the string would be automatically pulled up after four jumps of the rope, and it would take 15 minutes for a complete run to finish.

So I could look down for some time, huh...... really neat.

(Tick-tick)

Ten minutes....

(tick-tick)

Fifteen! Why’s that instructor...

“Oops, nearly forgot to press this.” She muttered. Might be to herself, I think.....

(zuuuuuuu)

I can’t stand the sound of the strings at all. The rolling movement of the bungee’s machine is bugging me each seconds.

Not again.... why’s she blacked out!?

“Haha!”

“The sloth’s sleeping again!”

The babboon’s mockery are happening in an instant. Someone’s behind this, for sure, and it must be Amanda.....

(Tap-tap-tap)

“And here comes the frog prince.....”

“Ribbit!ribbit!”

Calm down, Yuda, I know you can do it!

(touch)

I arrived on the scene. No sort of harm on her face at all. She’s so soundly-sleeping, nobody would believe that it is actually provoked by force.

Oh, well, what’s next? Where’s that sneaky bastard?

‘stop it, Yuda. You’ll ruin everything if-‘

Shut up, daddy. This person has no boundaries for her to live this long. I want to teach her a lesson.

Ah, there she is.

“Hey, what do you want of her, huh?” I yelled at the weasel. Look at that face, all grinning and having no guilt inside her throat.

“What do you mean? I’m just standing here-“

(grab)

“Hey! Mr. Bagus, help!” She cried. Mr. Bagus won’t assist you in today, you damn pest.

(bam!)

Ugh, what happened? Someone’s punching me over the waist.

“That’s for being rude, Yuda.” That person’s rattled as I’m leaning down on the bridge,” You have to stay out of the game for tomorrow.”

Hm, that burly arms.... Yeah, Mr. Bagus has arrived to aid this demon of earth. He chose to beat me down rather than solving the issue in peace, sitting eye-to-eye with me for bringing the case into close.

As if I want to do the same. That woman surely needs to be punished.

----

The last day of our outbound is for flying fox game. From Mr. Bagus’ first-time explanation, it requires coordination and rhythm to clear the game in minutes. The zip line is quite long, if you ask me of the distance. From top-to-bottom, it takes around 20 minutes to have a trip on each of the sequence. I guess it’s 2 kilometers for the length, since I could see the entire lines stretched up from the left to right of inn’s wooden deck.

Yeah, there are four strings and some short-stop for doing it in turns. Below the iron threads, numerous poles has been erected for the challenge. For us to win the game, we have to hit every single marks without missing any of it in our shots.

I know you can, Tifanny. Hope nothing would be happening to you, my dear.

(swoosh!)

Brr, It’s cold up here. I was dismissed on playing the game and have to watch it from the stands. Damn you, Mr. Bagus, why are you so cruel on Tifanny? That witch might be paying him a fortune. Amanda’s quite rich from many modelling works that she’s been doing for life, so money is not the problem for her to succeed.

(clang!)

Some of the players is clearing down the circles easily. The main point on this game is for you to be brave and look on the target, which would make yourself to be prone on gazing down towards 10 meters off the bottom. In the end, most of them were failing to reach the red spot as they’re too afraid on seeing the target by themselves.

Ah, time for Tifanny’s turn, now.

Okay, be cool, baby. Stay put and take down those round-thingy down your feet......

First one.

Alright, now the second.

Third....

“Kyaaa!”

Nooo! That can't be real.....
