Part 2
(The story of the dark night)
After we have dinner together, I command Marion to sleep in my home. He can sleep in my livingroom. I say to granny it is so late if he backs home, because the forest will be dark and I'am afraid that Marion will catch by thief or robber and I don't want the bad thing will happended.
"Okay, Marion. You can sleep in the livingrom, just take a bed to make you comfort," Granny said to Marion.
"Thank you so much, Granny," Marion answered.
"Eloise, please never opened my bedroom's door, I want to rest after a long day selling in the market and working in the forest. Do you understand, my beautiful girl?" granny always ask me with the same question before she sleeps at night.
"Yes, Granny. I will not disturb you during the night."
"Okay, good night my little girl," Granny kisses my cheeks.
"Good night, Granny."
I hug Granny and I feel the same, my granny body is so cool dan rather wet. At the first time, I think my granny's body is full of sweat because of after walking on the long way. But, it is not logic if she has much sweat right now. I just ignore any bad things, and try to always positive thing.
I enter my bedroom, close the door, and lock it. When I lay down my body on the bed, I can't sleep, my eyes are difficult to sleep. I decide to open my window and look the dark lake outside. I just enjoy the dark night. I often feel, why my home is the only home in here, why I forgot when my parents passed away. I just now that they contaminated with poisonous mushrooms after eat the dinner at the past. I wasn't eat those mushrooms because I slept, I wake up when many people with the black dresses said to me that my parents passed away and they will help me to deliver the corpse in the public grave outside the forest. I just confuse at that time until my granny came to me at night when I was alone and cried aloud.
I still look the lake, why people named you the dark lake and the death lake. Why do you transform from the beautiful lake in the morning to be the scare lake in the night? There are so many questions in my brain but it will be nothing, because no one hear me except Marion and Granny. I just meet Granny in the late afternoon and evening, she will go out from home in the early morning to search wood and take care her plants in the forest. Then, she will sell all the products in the traditional market all the day.
I still curious why granny never give me permission to help her. I asked Marion many times, and he said to me that he never meet my granny in the market. All about this success to make me headache and can't sleep this night.
BRRRUKKKKK! BRRRR!
I am really surprised when I see the black shadow go out from granny window. Luckily, I am not screaming, I just close my mouth with my hand.
What's wrong with granny? Who is go out from granny bedroom? Is that granny who go outside from the window? I'm not sure. I confuse, I want to go to enter granny bedroom but I'm afraid to disturb her. So, what I have to do?
I just afraid with my granny condition, so I decide to wake up Marion. Marion looks like in deeply sleep, I shake his body but he doesn't show to respond me.
"Marion, Marion, listen to me, please wake up now," I whisper in Marion's ear.
But, Marion doesn't open his eyes. I walk to in front of my granny bedroom, if I open this door, I am afraid that Granny will be angry to me. If I don't open the door, I will be the worst person in the world if something bad happened to granny.
"Forgive me granny, I just want to make sure that you are in good condition," I say to myself and open the door.
"What's wrong, Eloise? Why do you open my bedroom door without knocking?" suddenly, I surprised that granny lay on her bed in good condition.
"Forgive me granny, I just afraid something happened to you because I saw the black shadow go outside from your window," I don't look granny face because I am afraid.
"Hmm, Back to your bed, and never enter my bed without knock the door. I am in good condition, maybe that was your imagination. Please close the door, I want to sleep."
"Okay, Granniy."
I close the door and YAP! I really surprised that Marion already stand up behind me.
"What are you doing? You make me dead by stand exactly if I can't control myself."
"Keep calm, Eloise. I just want to go the bathroom, and when I pass here, I am looking you close your granny door. Is there a problem?"
"Nothing. I want to back my room."
"Okay, good night, have a nice dream," Marion say to me by smiling, but I don't care to him, because I still shocked with his suddenly presence behind me.
I enter my bedroom and try to sleep as fast as I can, I pray to God and imagine that someday I can meet a prince to colour my life.

(In the morning)
I wake up late this morning, I look on the wall and it is alreay 08.00 o'clock. It is late wake up in my life. I go out from my bedroom and looks on the table, there are so many foods as usual which pepared by my granny. I don't look Marion, maybe he already back home in the early morning to help his parents selling in the market.
In the morning, I always be grateful to my life. I can breathe, I can enjoy the warm light of the sun. I see the beautiful sun flower, roses, jasmine, and orchid. I look the water on the lake in peace condition, and I am never forget to pray for my parents may they live happily in the heaven. I also pray for my granny, I wish she always strong to fulfill my life. I exactly feel bad if I remember both of my mother and father. I don't know why I feel that my memory was so bad however I was in eight years old when they passed away. I can memorize anything, and I just remember that a group of people in black costume bring my parents corpse to grave them in a place. That was my fool, because I don't know where my parents grave until now.
I take a paper and pen. I sit down in a long bench, near the lake. It is very close to the water. I start to write a poem. This is my new hobby, write a poem.
"God, do you hear me? Yes, I'm Eloise"
"I smile to the blue sky this morning, I said thanks for the warm and peace condition"
"I just feel lonely, every morning until afternoon by waiting my granny"
"She said to me that she fight for me, only me"
"In the late afternoon, I start my happiness by having dialogue with Marion, my best friend"
"Then, he backs home when my Granny came to me"
"God, do you hear me? Eloise needs a big spirit"
"I need to face my future, but my granny always said it will really better for me to stay at home"
"I need to interact with another people, but I can't"
"I just want to be a good girl for my granny, because she is the only expensive thing I have right now"
