Author: Varga Nurlela BlafireA few minutes later, after the self-feeding event which was as gloomy as the gray clouds, Venus was already in Tanjung Beach, not far from her original place. The girl sits on one of the fallen trees. Beside her grew a few trees that she didn't know exactly what its name was. A breeze brings with it the salty scent of sea water, lulling the mind of anyone who inhales it. The fishy smell faintly smells of sea water on the shoreline which is tanned.
Venus turned her head and saw several people kneeling on the shore some distance from her. Three small children seemed to chase. Their laughter was carried along by the wind, even as they plunged into the rather murky water. Those on their knees seemed to be digging for sand, and occasionally stuffing things into containers in the form of plastic bags or jars. Venus guessed they were looking for mussels. One of them turned to look at Venus. The woman seemed to grin. It's hard to see the details of a person's face at that distance.
Venus sighed. Her eyes turned to the horizon. Her mood became calmer. However, we know, no matter how calm a sea is, it is never truly open. We know, the sea can and is accustomed to lying. It is calm, so full of beauty. Things that are full of blue and the variety of underwater creatures. The things that the sea makes to distract us from the trough of its deepest heart. And, if the sea can't take it anymore, the sea can vent its emotions in a million ways.
However, what can Venus do? The girl's emotional overflow will never be useful. Often she shouted in anger and frustration that struck, only to get ignorance. The girl still had a father, but the father she thought must be living in a gauze. Venus doesn't remember ever feeling the warmth of a father that should be in the man, no matter how small. Venus doesn't remember the figure just hugging or calling him "honey". Venus doesn't remember. At all.
Venus's eyes flickered as a tear fell down her cheeks. Her hand suddenly reached into the bag and took something. Her tears flowed again, mercilessly hurting the girl's esophagus with an invisible stone.
A photograph.
In the hard plastic-coated sheet, portrayed a woman in a red dress standing in a room. Her face was beautiful, her smile was contagious, and her eyes looked happy. Venus caresses the image of the woman's long hair in the photo. The girl's fingers trembled. She embraced the photo in her arms. Her tears rose in the form of sad sobs.
Just a photo, for God's sake.
“Mama, what should I do?”

“You're now including my boss, Venus.”Venus turned her head to look at Ildara. It had been a week since she had been in a room similar to that hospital, and now Venus was enjoying a period of her sanity returning.Her strength is better. Although her ears still sound like painful ringing at certain times.Venus leaned on the sofa she was sitting in without a burden.“Did the Emperor order you?” the girl asked slowly.Ildara nodded. She sipped the tea in her cup with graceful movements.Venus turned her head again. Her gaze swept across a room similar to a family room filled with furniture and all-golden decoration. There were framed photographs placed on the table, some hung on the wall.A large monitor attached to one part of the wall. It seemed to blend with the wall itself. Venus was watching the streets and some housing that looked empty from the monitor.Ildara lives in an elite complex at the end

At one time on the First Earth, Venus had cut her finger accidentally. It was so painful at that time. The wound isn't deep, but people say: the deeper, the more numb the pain in the beginning. The pain will appear many times many hours later. So at that time Venus was lucky enough; the wound was
