The Partition

The Returning

Three

It wasn’t easy for Adam to be a man with gifts.  He has special abilities like predicting what will happen in the future and has brilliant ideas.  While sitting at church, he sensed that there is a baby inside the womb of his girlfriend, Mia.

He didn’t tell anyone.  Adam had a hard life.  He had a bad past.  He had gone to writing bad checks, insufficient funds etc. that land him to bankruptcy in the end.  He hardly made any good friends because he got disappointed with his past friends.

One day, he made a female friend through the online and met her eventually.  He took her as a date and she is a beautiful young woman named Mia.   He thought of moving to Australia but he does not like to live there since he knew nobody there.  And then, he heard about Indonesia.  He finally found her.  She’s a quiet manner girl who likes to stay home.  But sometimes she likes to take in charge, though she did not show that part of her personality. 

She likes to dress chic and modest fashion style on up-to-date.  On Thanksgiving Day, the both of them decided to go to the Niagara Falls for vacation, by which Mia lied to Adam that she wanted to visit her ill aunt out of town.  She was actually cheating on Adam and she met another man by the name of Allen.  She went on the vacation with him.  On the site, Mia tried to smile and stand on the fence of the waterfall.  Suddenly, she fell into the falls.  In panic, Allen jumped into the waters.  Like the Iroquois legend about the Falls when a young tribeswoman Lelawala tried to commit suicide after the death of her husband.  Being rescued by the god of thunder, Heno, she married then with his son and lived behind the waterfall.  There is a snake folklore behind the story at the end.

After a while, Allen woke up as well as Mia and found them in the middle of a huge garden background.  She became a 74 year old along with Allen.  They were begging on the busy hawker’s street of the Guangzhou province.  Mia lost her eyesight while Allen was crippled from his waist down.  Near them, a couple was displaying kungfu as part of a circus to collect money from peddlers and commoners who passed by.

“The imperial guards must have severed and beaten them up,” the villagers all murmured covering their mouths as they past and stared at the two sum couple sitting at the corner.

 “It’s the hopping ghosts, I tell you… Wait for me,” explained a little girl, as old as little as Caylee, running along the boys playing with their kites.

“You are a girl.  Don’t  play with us!” the boys shouted.

The little girl, bedazzled walked to Mia and Allen, who at the moment was crying and almost as fake as the devil, tried pity from the girl.

“I knew a healing doctor who can heal your sickness…” the girl suggested.

Mia is as excited as the girl.

“Oh, please help me. Help us. We are cursed.” She begged the girl to direct them to the doctor.

After both of them went to the healing doctor with internal abundant energy and herbal medications, he ordered them not to consume pork.  Seasons change and the moisture and soothing weather brought about feelings of freshness.  The birds soar to the air up above then out of a sudden flung back into the ocean.

            Mia started the map hunt with Allen according to her dreams.  She dreamed ordinary dreams about entering fearful dungeons and space matters.
