Spirit Away Fan Fiction
“Hello, Chihiro Og speaking”
“Hello, Miss Og, according to your description, we had search the entire town, but there is no place called bathhouse or anything that is relate to it have been find…”, the men was speaking nonstop, but noting went into my ears.
“Thank you, Good bye”, the excitement that I had, was gone.
Was there really no possibility for me to find him? Ten years ago he helped me to survive in that scary bathhouse and helped me to found my name back again, but where was he ?
When I was preoccupation thinking about him, the strong smell of burning had come out from the kitchen.
“Oh”, I was rushed off my feet, and ran to the kitchen to turn off the heat.
“Oh my god, what have you done” mum gently complained. At same time she threw the food into the bin and cleaned the messy kitchen for me.
“Thank you mum, love you”.
After receiving that disappointed massage, I grabbed the painting equipment and went to the temple. When I arrived I put the coin into my palm, and clasped it with pair of hand soaked with sweat, closed my eyes and pray. For me temple is a place that full of good spirits. No matter did you believed in those bodies of gods that made from the mud or whether they could help you to achieve the wish, but people who came to this quiet place all shows their respect and faithful toward the god.
I used all of my power to throw the coin into the air, saw it flying in the air it felt like my entire life was control by this little coin.
“God, if you really can help others to achieve their wish, please let me see him for one more time”. The coin dropped, I open my eyes, and thought that if this wish was too big and difficult to achieve it , maybe one day the sun would drop down to the earth.
I walked forward, stood beside the enormous tree and try to choose a position that would help me to take the best photo of the temple; it started to become my habit, to take the photo of this place every time I came.
“Sorry, do you have a pencil I can borrow, I break my one”, I turned my body toward the voice and noticed there was a person drawing behind me.
I gazed at him and thought is that him, he got a pair of clean eye just like the eyes of new-born baby. He was wearing a white T- shirt whit a pair of blue jean and black shoes.
“Yes, I have”, I bended down, and opened my bag to search for a pencil.
“Thank you”.
When I was about to stand up, my attention had catch by his beautiful drawing, and his signature, Haku, his name, that I almost forgot it. Without thinking I wrote ‘spirit of the Kohaku River’ in the sand. The sound of footstep was getting close to me; he was standing behind me.
I looked at him with millions of unanswered questions in my mind. He bends down. Gentle smile emerged on his face; I felt my heart beat faster.
“What is Spirit of the Kohaku River?”
“It is a nickname of my friend”.
“So, Spirit of Kohaku River is a person” he started to spoke softly, and stopped drawing his picture. “For some reason, I feel very familiar about this name”
The unanswered questions in my head, seems to be sure.
“He must be very important person to you”.
“Yes” I start to nodded my head like a robot.
“At least you still remember his name, not like me…”
I had noticed the place that he had drawn, it got clean road, with green glass land and in the end of the road there was a Chinese style gate that has red brick corridors. This was the place where we had separated.
“very strangely, this place have continues appear in my dream, it seems like in this place, I farewell to someone who is very important to me, although I do not want her to leave, I promise to her that one day I will go back to find her...” He stopped “but I can’t even remember her name, not even her appearance, It's ridiculous, right?” there was a sad and hopeless smile on his face.
“No, this is not ridiculous” I answered firmly. He seems to be very surprised about my how serious I was, and then he smiled.
I smiled as he turned away from me. Yes, it must be him, I was truly sure.
There was a river that appeared in my life, when I stayed in that lonely deserted shore, just because wanting to hear gurgling sound of water, so I no longer felt lonely in the dark; when I walked in the desert, all I hope was that this river can appear, and then I would no longer tolerate the hot. I did all this, just for that ordinary river. I didn’t know how many years both of us had experienced being separate. Finally, once again he appeared in front of me…, we finally met again.
I suddenly understand why we meet each other again, because within each of our heart there was a never fade landscape, only belongs to us.
