MAGICAL RED STONE'

Chap 1   The Stealing nite

Every object spinning their own history through the time in their own existence floating inside the big, big world. - J.Lee

The dazzling full moon covered by many beautiful sparkling colors looks magnificent in the sky that night. The neighborhood is silent without any sounds. Just sounds from small CCTV cameras can be heard. The camera's sounds came from a huge building that looks splendid, strong and luxurious. Surrounded by tall walls, making the building inside highly protected and can't be touched by outsiders.

The moonlight shining in the neighborhood  including this building without any clouds around in the skies. The weather tonight looks good, beautiful and quiet. Calm without any changes as if signifying the big event will happen and shock the world. The suspicious weather this night looks so fishy remembering that the weather a few nights before was so foggy. A beautiful night like this is so rare to happen these days.

This beautiful and quiet night may need to be watched out for because in this night a big theft happen where the crime scene took place is a place to store rare precious stones. This place is also one of the places that has the most advanced security technology system equipped with the latest models of CCTV cameras in all corners of the building. But, none of the available technology can prevent this event. None of the available technology can provide clues as to how the event occurred, the exact time of the event and where the party can do it smoothly without leaving a trace of any clues other than that it happened on a full moon night on that day.

The theft happened without leaving a trace where the crime scene is one of the most difficult places to steal because all the security that the place has, of course, is appalling. That place is a famous repository where prominent people, even royal families from all over the world have gemstones there, making all investigators authorized to fall into chaos. Of course both local and international media covered the incident and broadcast it on a large scale. Even more shocking, not only ordinary gemstones are taken but also rare and unique gemstones in the world. Gemstones that have an amazing history.

“How come there are so many gems taken? Can we find the gem that the 'top party' wants among these many sparkling cold stones?” exclaimed a childish sweet-looking young man to his friends among the piles of sparkling gemstones in a place that resembled a deep cave, but had adequate light. The group of young men who were there all looked horrified at the pile of jewels in front of them, all feeling confused about how to find the gems they needed among the piles of jewels that were scattered before them.

“Who, by the way, are the fools who give the task of taking these gems to our group?” exclaimed the childish round-faced youth earlier, he looked at the group of friends asking.

“Well ... that's definitely not the type of person who is willing to listen to your complaints about this.” said the young man with a cruel face as if he was able to kill everyone who was there just by the appearance of his face.

“Haahh ... then, why do we have to look for more important gems, which they want among this many piles of gems?” the young man complained back while making a long made-up sigh.

“It's not just you guys who are told to look for it ”interrupted someone who stood not far from the group of young men near the mouth of the cave. It was unclear who was wearing a long, soft jacket that spoke in a melodious and flat voice to a group of young men who stood around a pile of sparkling gems in the middle of the cave.

“You?! How come you are here? What made you want to come here?” exclaimed the boy-faced young man who seemed to clearly recognize the person who had interrupted his complaint.

“Well ... there's no way I would come here voluntarily ”the person answered, coldly to the young man who had an attractive but cute face.

“So, why are you here?” asked the creepy-faced young man, curious. There was no animosity in his voice as one of his group's friends showed the newcomer.

“People from the 'top party' told me to come here to help you all find the gems they wanted.” explains the stranger, slowly.

“ Can you help?!” mocked the cute-faced guy annoyingly with hatred inside his voice.

“Well, I guess they think I'm more capable of finding the gem they want than you. ”the person replied to him.

“You never change. Still annoying as usual.” said the young man with a cute face, cynically.

“You too.” replied to the stranger.

After replying to the words of the cute faced young man, the new guy came forward to the pile of gems that sparkled because of the reflection of the moonlight emanating from a small cave hole. From the  moonlight reflection hitting his face, the figure of the person looks so elegant and has an attractive face. However, there is something that distinguishes this figure from other groups of youth.

It is unpredictable whether he is a woman or a man, when viewed from his appearance that has golden blonde, straight long hair. The color of his eyes was like the lake's green which was covered in moss with slender eyebrows and beautifully blonde painted. The beautiful eyes carefully followed the pile of gems, looking for the jewel assigned to be found by him.

“Ahh..” sigh the person happily. “Apparently it's here..” the new guy picked up one of the oval blood-colored gemstones which grew thicker in the middle, resembling an eyeball.

Although the person makes a statement that is very faint, in a cave that can reflect sound easily, his voice echoes inside the cave. Without further ado immediately, the cave was filled with joyful cheers of relief from the discovery of the jewel. They no longer need to continue the tiring search that has lasted several days without a break because the task assigned to them is an important task. Finally, everything was over at this time, they were all free to rest.

The pleasure the young people experienced made none of them realize, there is someone who witnessed and knew the event with a different feeling from them, blend in the search group. The figure felt even more extraordinary pleasure in him, although what he felt was a different feeling to the innocent pleasures that were happening in this cave. Unnoticed and not realized like his arrival, the mysterious figure left the group of people who were still rejoicing with a triumphant smile on the face that was covered in the night's shadows because of the closed moonlight, as if to mask the behavior and expression of this mysterious figure.

Chap 2.  Stolen jewels returns

A few days after the mysterious jewel theft, the investigators issued announcements through local and international media so that the parties involved immediately surrendered and immediately returned all the gems they had stolen. That statement may seem too generous considering that the theft that occurred was very appalling, all that announcement was forced to do by them because they all can't help it.

The investigators felt there was absolutely no hope that any clue could be obtained from the lengthy and exhausting investigations they had been doing. However, as if the thieves did not pay attention to the announcements, the thieves did not give any news or give any movements regarding the stolen gems.

“Hey ... do you know that 'we' make the news again? This time they issued a very interesting announcement. What the hell?! Making me confused ... are they got nothing to do? Just because these cold gems are like this, they are really noisy.”

“Well ... maybe because for them these gems are valuable. So, is it really true that we will be told to return it again?”

“It seems so, the 'top party' has already got the gem they are looking for and they will prepare a replacement for the gem in the near future. We will definitely get orders from above that require our group to return there to return everything.” Sighing long and heavy. “This ... is really troublesome. Very troublesome! Why do we have to be this hard? Really boring!”

“Never mind, don't complain anymore! Come on, we have to gather the others soon. We must immediately determine when we must move once the order has been handed down for this task.”

“Yes ... Well, we really have to gather other members as soon as possible!”

A few weeks later, again there was an uproar in connection with a recent theft. The incident occurred at night when very thick fog covered the area where the theft was. Very thick fog formed and spread in the air, causing visibility to be only as far as a few meters. There was no sound and any incident was able to be recorded on the existing CCTV camera so again there was no clue about the recurring appalling incident.

The incident that again shook up many parties was the phenomenon of the precious gemstones that had been stolen returned. All of which are not forgotten; according to the information received from the jewelers who worked there for the authorities and the media involved. This return certainly makes many parties feel free from the heavy burden which, although only briefly, is felt for so long. Still there is no clue about the perpetrators involved, but there is a great suspicion that the culprit is from the same party.

The calm that arises and spreads due to the return of all the gems is truly a relief because there could be even greater problems involving the theft so that no one is aware of an important difference. There are gems that are not stolen, mixed in with a collection of returned gems. Looks the same, but only the gem is different even though there may be only a few parties who know about the authenticity of the exchange gem.

Naturally, the jewel keepers did not realize that the jewel that was returned back to the safe was not the real one. They do not know about the gem's long and arduous original history. Secrets that are hidden tightly and deeply without anyone remembering it. The gem that was replaced with an imitation gem that was exactly the same as the name of the Red Eye Stone; a gemstone that has an amazing and extraordinarily long history and is full of the mysteries of life.

“So, have they found ‘The unique magic stone’? grunted a voice that was a bit loud and had a hissing accent in front of a flat television screen broadcasting the news of the return of a stolen jewel that had been lost without being known. The television was in a room with high ceilings resembling the ceiling of a castle. However, the humidity felt from the air in the room could be easily realized if this figure was staying inside a cave. A very large and deep cave.

“That's right, Baron. They have indeed found it.” said the figure standing behind a hissing stranger who grumbled. This shadowy figure wore a shabby robe that covered the entire body taller than the hissing figure.

“"How can you be sure?" Asked someone with a hissing voice.

“I have witnessed the discovery with my own eyes, Baron. They found it quite quickly thanks to someone's help.”

“Who helped them find it that easily? ”Asked the hissing person as he stepped elegantly to sit on a large bench made of an antique, old black wood.

“The last pure bloodline, Baron. The young one.”

“I see, no wonder! He can indeed help them find it easily.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

“No need to do anything, we just observe first!”

“ Are you sure?”

“Yes ... just let them be for now. The stone won't be of much use as long as they haven't found the 'user' for ‘The unique magic stone’ yet.

Chap 3 Jessy Amber

How could someone ever know that news about large-scale theft that occurred in other parts of the world, which is so far away in the other countries could have the possibility to have an important influence on someone's life. When the shocking news that became an international sensation was broadcast, a woman of Asian blood who was simple and had an ordinary life was being lectured by both of her parents.

The woman named Jessy Amber certainly never thought that she will be deeply involved in a variety of mystical things that usually will never be mixed in her normal and unattractive life. Things that will not only change her simple life, but also give some romance to her dull feelings. 

Both of these young female parents are old-fashioned ones. They have so many kinds of rules that must be met, especially for the sweet woman. Both sides of her parents, especially her father, liked to lecture her about how useless the woman was. As in maintaining a permanent job in her life, even though everyone knows that compared to all her other siblings, Jessy had already completed her education until she had become a college graduate.

The sun is very bright in J city; the center of the metropolitan city of the archipelago of I country, which is full of busy activities even though it is late afternoon. The intense heat of the sun still feels strong on the skin of a sweet young woman named Jessy Amber. This sweet young woman sat exhausted in the front room of the house after cleaning up all the household chores she was assigned to. On a hot and humid day like that, this brownish yellow skinned woman did not know that she would get cynicism and nagging and curses that were worse than usual from her parents. All the bitter experiences that will be received by her started because of the return of his younger sister who studies at one of the best tourism colleges in south J city; Rosa Amber, one of her most beloved younger siblings.

“Second sister Jessy, where are Dad and Mom?" Rosa asked as soon as she arrived in front of the Amber family's house where Jessy was sitting out, tired. Rosa looked so happy, her face so bright that Jessy became curious.

“Why are you looking for them? You look happy, what's up?”

Smiling happily, Rosa said; "I have good news for them! Come on, hurry and tell me where they are?"

"They are in their room, watching the video they just bought."

"I see-alright! Then, I will look for them after I change into my uniform." Rosa said as she walked to her room, Jessy followed.

"What happened? Tell me, please!" Insisted Jessy in her sister's room while watching Rosa change from her college uniform outfit into her regular clothes.

Smiling, Rosa said; "I'll be coming in for work training soon, Sis! Great right!"

"Eehh ... indeed, did you get the place?"

Chuckling, Rosa answered; "I have... I just came back from there for an interview and I got it, the place is very well known in my college list. I'm really lucky that my college has a cooperative relationship with that place."

Amazed and happy, Jessy smiled at her sister's happy face; "Congratulations, then! You have to try and work well there. "

"Yes, of course!"

"So ... is this what you want to tell Dad and Mom?" Jessy asked her little sister who nodded. "I see..."

After changing, Rosa invites Jessy to go to their parents' room; not yet up to the destination room, they both have found their parents in the family room.

Their father who still looked dashing at the age of 50 years; Gerry Amber reads the subscription newspaper that unfolds on the living room table very seriously just like the man's habit. Their mother; Madela Sandy-Amber, who is three years younger than her father, has short hair like a man's. This woman's hair has turned white everywhere and is currently peeling ripe red apples expertly in her hands for her husband.

The Amber family's first daughter; Karen Amber, Jessy's older sister, was reading her psychology book seriously for the exam that would soon need to be taken, also being there. Karen sat side by side with Diana Amber, the favorite youngest daughter of all the Amber family members who were reading a new illustrated storybook bought by her father yesterday. Seeing all the family members there, Rosa dragged Jessy excitedly, making Jessy teetering trying to catch up with her.

"Hi, everyone!" Rosa said happily, all family members turned to look at her curiously. "I have good news that I want to tell all of you."

"What good news, Rosa? You look very happy? ”Asked Karen curiously, seeing her third sister look so cheerful. "Come on, don't make us all curious like this. Hurry up and tell us!"

"Yes, hurry up!" Exclaimed Diana.

Smiling broadly, Rosa continued; "The good news is... I got a place for work training at one of the national event companies which is also one of the big companies in I Country," Smiling wider, Rosa continued; "Later there, I will also get an honorarium."

"Training at a national event company? Also get an honorarium? "Asked the father.

"Yes, but the fee is small, though, only for food and weekly transportation fees." Rosa explained to her father, shyly.

"Rosa, you really are great, you can do training in a place like that. You can get a weekly honorarium too, "said Jessy proudly, also feeling pleased with the success of her beloved sister.

"Well ... she is indeed great when compared to her second sister who has a college degree but, again unemployed because she could not maintain a single job." Said the father while cynically looking at his second daughter, making Jessy who clearly realized his mocking words without consciously changing her happy smile into a stiff smile. "Why are you becoming silent, Jessy? Your third sister, Rosa, great, right? Try to compare with you! Though becoming a graduate first than the others, but maintaining a job, you cannot do it. Really lame! What's the use of having a smart brain in your head if you can't even keep a job. What a useless daughter!"

Hearing the words of her father; Gerry Amber, the sweet woman can only smile wistfully trying to refrain from replying to her father's insults. Jessy clearly knows that if she tried to defend herself, the insults from her father would only get worse.

The soft-hearted woman understands why her parents, especially her father, kept making statements that were cornering her day after day, making her heart sad and painful. All this is because Gerry Amber's self-esteem is so high and does not want to lose when comparing his children to all his friend's children who continue to boast of their children who have worked and are quite successful while his children still have nothing to exceed their children. She knew and realized how much her father expected her achievement. She understood that but still everything was painful to be accepted because she had tried her best.

Snorting, Jessy's father stared at his second daughter in disgust. Realizing her father's anger, she walked and got away from the place, stepped slowly accompanied by dark feelings. This smart and intelligent woman left quietly from the living room to the place she liked best, from all the Amber family residences; her room which although small in size but quiet and calming. A place that can be used alone to read, soothes her messy feelings inside her chest.
