By Ana Sakinah Once upon a time, there were an old man and his son lived in a suburb. His wife has died when the boy was two years old. She ot heart attack. !he old man loved his son so much that he ave everythin his son asked. "t was because he did not want to see his son sad. He did not want to lose his only on, as he had already lost his wife. He wanted to row his son well, so that his wife could smile. !he boy named Han. Han was si#teen and was a charmin boy. He was oval$ faced, thanks to his thin cheek. His eyes were as deep as the blue sea. He had a pointed nose%which shone when the sunli ht passed on it. His lip was as nice as a thin cut$lemonade. &ust a week later, he would have his birthday party. !he party would be the reatest party ever. All villa ers would be invited to attend the party. !heir house would be beautifully decorated by the professional decorators. Han's father took his son to the most branded saloon in the city. He ot his new hair$style. He also ot some e#pensive shirts, !$shirts, and trousers that they bou ht in famous stores. !he day Han and his father were waitin for was comin . Han was dressed up well by the youn talented artists. He wore a white shirt combined with a black (acket. He looked more handsome in that suit. !he uests were also youn , or eous irls. !hey tried to attack Han's attention by wearin e#pensive own and twinkle accessories. !hey all looked pretty, (ust like fairies in story tales. Some boys also attended the party. But, they were not as charmin as Han. )hen all uests were talkin about what they were oin to show to Han$$in order to attacked his attention, he came out of his bedroom and reeted them. All irls stood up and were surprised to see their charmin prince. !he party be an. !he music turned on. Some pretty irls came close to Han. Han was not interested with them, e#cept a irl. !he irl was wearin a worn, flashy pink with races on the bottom$ed e costume. She did not put any accessories on her hair, unlike other irls. Her eyes were as cold as the ice in the north$pole. Her face was

loomy, (ust like a child who lost her beloved mother. She was sittin ne#t to the pile of roceries.

alone

Han walked up to the irl. He did not talk to her. He (ust looked deeply into her eyes while s*uattin on the round. !hen, Han be an to talk. He asked the irl's name and her intention to attend to his party. Actually, she did not want to attend Han's birthday party. Besides that, she disliked Han and his father, that they were arro ant. She attended Han's birthday party was (ust because her parents asked her to. +id Han an ry to the irl, -o, he did not. Han admitted his and his father's arro ance. )hy did he do that, "t was because he fell in love with the irl. He fell in love in the first si ht. He saw an outstandin beauty in that irl. !he irl was different from other irls. She had beautiful eyes. Her smile was like a fairy's, eventhou h she was not smilin . Her face was as bri ht as a full$ moon. She ave a warm to Han, the warm that could never make him took his eyes off of her. Han turned on his motorcycle. He rode it and took the irl with him. .veryone was thunderstruck. Some irls (umped on conclusion that Han was cra/y. !hey were very disappointed because Han preferred to take the very stran e and flashy irl rather than to choose them%who had iven their best performance for him. .ven some irls cried that they were not able to be Han's irlfriend. "t was almost a year that Han had not come back to his house. !here was no news where he was. !he irl was not at her house, either. Han's father went to see a well known shaman to look for his son. !he shaman told him that Han was brou ht by a fairy to a very, very wonderful place. 0)as there a irl with a worn, flashy pink own in the party,,1 asked the shaman. 02es, there was a very stran e irl with flashy costume.

He has dead already. 2ou can find his body near the river whose water is red in its hilt, 0 said the shaman.
