Review:

1st thoughts?

Entahlah. Ia terletak pada apa expectation kau.

Kalau kau peminat korean drama, pasti harapan kau mungkin lovey dovey couple. 

Tak banyak pun tapi mesti nak ada sikit sebanyak scene a sweet couple. Manis-manis gula.

 Walaupun kau tahu ini cerita action, thriller, investigation.

Tapi, kalau kau perminat tegar 'Criminal Minds', harapan kau pasti psychopath, serial killer, dark life, strong storyline, motif pembunuhan.

Siapa? Kenapa? Mengapa?

Wah!!!

Walaupun, we have Morgan dan Garcia.

Oh, baby girl.

*Jangan tetipu. Mereka bukanlah the real couple dalam series ini. But they still sweet macam gula-gula.

Aku?

Dua-Dua.

Secara jujurnya aku excited nak tahu apa yang Director and Writer South Korea ini nak buat dengan jalan cerita dia.

By the way, aku peminat tegar Dr. Reid.

Disebabkan itu, perkara pertama yang bermain adalah siapa Dr. Reid di South Korea?

Nampak tak?

Rasa-rasanya siapa yang tepat dengan profile ini?

✔ IQ : 187

✔Asperger's syndrome

✔ Read 20,000 words per minute.

✔  His mother has paranoid schizophrenia.

✔ Have eidetic memory/photographic memory.

✔ Holds B.A.s in Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy, a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Engineering as well as a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Caltech.

Opps, i know. Sorry...

Kan aku dah cakap tadi aku adalah peminat tegar Dr. Reid.

Dan expectation aku, kegilaan Dr. Reid akan sampai ke South Korean.

No harm, no foul.

Aku tak ada masalah sebenarnya dengan pemilihan pelakon.

Son Hyun-Joo, Moon Chae-Won, Lee Joon-Gi

as

Kang Ki-Hyung, Ha Sun-Woo, Kim Hyun-Joon

Lee Sun Bin, Go Yoon, Yoo Sun

as

Yoo Min Young, Lee Han, Na Na

So Hyun Joo adalah nama yang tidak asing untuk drama thriller korea.

Drama atau filem genre seperti ini adalah makanannya.

Tidak perlu dipertikaikan.

Kalau tak percaya korang boleh tengok drama atau filem lakonan dia.

The Chaser or 3 Days or Tazza or Hide and Seek.

Moon Chae Won. Aku hanya pernah lihat tiga drama lakonannya.

Brilliant Legacy, The Innocent Man, Good Doctor.

Ok, semua watak sedih.

Tapi, aku search juga pasal dia ni.

Soompi : Versatil.

2008 until 2016. Award dia melambak.

So, siapa kau nak bagi ulasan.

Lee Joon Gi. Tarikan.

Rata-ratanya. Rasanyalah.

Kebanyakan penonton or peminat drama korea nak tonton drama ini sebab dia.

'maybe'

Tapi kredibiliti sebagai pelakon tak payah dipertikaikan.

Kalau tak, tak mungkin dapat masuk Hollywood kan.

Apa? Bila? Siapa?

Commander Chu.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Jalan cerita.

Sama tak sama?

Macam mana aku nak story.

Dia wujudkan character yang lebih kurang sama.

Lee Han mirip dengan Dr. Reid.

Ki-Hyung mirip Hotch.

Sun-Woo mirip Prentiss.

Hyun-Joon mirip Morgan.

Min-Young mirip JJ.

Na Na mirip Garcia.

Nama pun 'remake' kan.

Tapi sayang karakter David Rossi tiada.

Jangan main-main dengan orang tua ni tau.

Kalau tak percaya pergi marathon start dari season 3 sampai 12.

Kalau nak tengok season 13 pun dah boleh.

Episode 1 dah keluar dah ni.

Kat mana?

Pandai-pandailah korang search.

Director dia, Matthew Gray Gubler.

Siapa? Dr. Reid aku lah!

ha ha ha

Dan kenapa aku kata orang tua ni hebat.

Sebab dia bukan sahaja hebat sebagai David Rossi, Tapi dia juga hebat sebagai Joe Mantegna.

Dia merupakan salah seorang Director untuk series 'Criminal Minds' dari season 10 until now.

Lagi satu.

Siapa peminat The Godfather? Lebih specific, The Godfather Part III?

Kenalkah anda pada Joe Zasa?

Stop!

Ok, aku rasa agak melampau aku terpesong.

Back, Back, Back.

Criminal Minds Korean version agak kurang dari segi jalan ceritanya kalau hendak dibandingkan dengan US version.

Walaupun jalan ceritanya, setiap episod, setiap kes masih berdasarkan US Version.

Mungkin.

tvN adalah saluran kabel.

Disiarkan secara umum. Untuk tontonan umum.

Dark, mature content, gruesome.

Tidak sesuai.

Mungkin.

Di olah mengikut kesesuaian penonton mereka.

Mungkin.

Tapi.

God's Quiz 

merupakan antara genre crime investigation korean drama yang agak mendapat sambutan.

Dan aku adalah salah satu pengikut tegar dari season 1 sampai ke season 4.

Walaupun aku agak geram episode lastnya tu.

Hiding again! Dah kenapa?

Hopefully season 5 tak lama lagi.

Hopefully akan ada.

Walaupun, Goodbye Mobius... 

Ok done. Itu kita review lain hari.

Mungkin waktu season 5 keluar.

ha ha ha

Back to CM!

Ialah kan, manalah nak dibandingkan dengan 20 episod dan 13 season bukan?

Nak olah semua? Tak mungkin sempat.

Disebabkan itu,

Masih banyak yang tidak disentuh dan diceritakan di dalam korean version.

Terutama latar belakang character.

Sun Woo, Lee Han, Mi Young, Na Na.

Semuanya masih samar.

Kerana itu,

aku rasa akan ada kesinambungannya nanti.

Kita tunggu dan lihat.

Aku bukan tak nak. Tapi aku tak ada masa nak recap satu persatu episod.

Sebab dah banyak membebel, terpesong sana sini kan?

ha ha ha

Malu sendiri.

Tapi, Dramabeans.com boleh tolong recap kan untuk korang.

Last but not least.

Perfect - Ed Sheeran

I found a love for me

Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead

Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet

Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time

But darling, just kiss me slow

Your heart is all I own

And in your eyes you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark

With you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass

Listening to our favourite song

When you said you looked a mess

I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it,

Darling, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home

I found a love to carry more than just my secrets

To carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids but we're so in love

Fighting against all odds

I know we'll be alright this time

Darling, just hold my hand

Be my girl, I'll be your man

I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark

With you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass

Listening to our favourite song

When I saw you in that dress

Looking so beautiful

I don't deserve this

Darling, you look perfect tonight

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark

With you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass

Listening to our favourite song

I have faith in what I see

Now I know I have met an angel in person

And she looks perfect

I don't deserve this

You look perfect tonight

“Perfect” is an old-fashioned love ballad dedicated to Ed’s current girlfriend Cherry Seaborn.

Radio.com :
When asked if Seaborn could be “the one,” the singer was unequivocal in his response.
“Undoubtedly, undoubtedly,” he said. 
“But I think if you ever enter into a long-term relationship and you have a doubt, then you shouldn’t be in the long-term relationship.”

BBC:
"I just wanted to beat "Thinking Out Loud" because I know that song was going to define me...With "Perfect", it was like, I need to write the best love song of my career". - Ed Sheeran

Music Choice:

I think the song “Perfect” is actually better than “Thinking Out Loud.” I think there was always a scare that “Thinking Out Loud” would define me and define my career. So I, I wrote a lot of songs trying to beat it and now I think, I think I have beaten it.

Thematically, the song is reminiscent of “18,” a song he wrote for his friends in One Direction. - Ed Sheeran

Levitasi - Fynn Jamal, Zizi Kirana, Kaka Azraff

Levitasi = Levitation. keterapungan. yakni merujuk perasaan yang tergantung dalam separa sedar.

kerana hakikatnya di situlah kita. di antara.

antara hidup dan mati. antara dunia dan akhirat. antara bayangan dan realiti.

kita semua masih belum sampai-- selagi nyawa belum tercerai.

(copypaste: instagram fynn jamal)

Lyric :

Intro

(Fynn Jamal)

Demi jalan-jalan yang sunyi

Yang dipaksa aku berseorang

Di bingit malam... aku... berani...

Manusia terlalu perlu berkelompok

Kalau bersendiri serasa mati

Tetap aku tak sudi beramai

Aku berani... aku berani....

(levitasi)

Verse 1

(Fynn Jamal)

Lima belas ribu tiga ratus dua puluh empat saat

Aku hitung akhir detik kita dekat-dekat

Masih aromamu kuat sitrus yang melekat

Akal berselirat urat ke belikat sarat

Ku tak pasti apa terjadi

Sumpah ku tak pernah begini

Tolong khabarkan, cara lekaskan

Cepatkan, pantaskan masa berjalan

Kau sesungguhnya ketagihan

Biar satu dunia terbutakan matanya, pandangnya

Biarkan, mungkin pada mereka kau tak terlihatkan

Jasadnya, biarkan

Perlu apa dihebahkan

Bukannya pertandingan

Yang terpasti, kau di sisi

Yang ku rasa

Chorus:

Levitasi..

Hadirmu membawa misteri

Ku terpisah dari bumi...

Terapung

Di awang-awangan...

Bersama kita keasyikan...

Rasakan Levitasi...

Verse 2

(Kirana)

Sunyi, lari, dengan hingarnya cinta yang kau bawa, sini

Meski ku sendirian menongkah, seorangan menadah

Ku tak lagi terkejut, terhinjut, diserabut berserah pada ribut

Cukup kita tahu apa yang kita tahu

Cukup dengan cukup apalah orang tahu

Terapung, tergantung ke langit hujung berdua ke tua cinta diusung

Dunia bagai membubuh matanya di depan aku

Mencari cela, silap, hina dan gelap aku

Seakan menyuruhku berhenti bergemuruh

Bila beransur guruh berlabuh di langit tujuh

Perlu apa dihebahkan, bukannya pertandingan

Yang terpasti kau di sisi, yang ku rasa

Chorus:

Levitasi..

Hadirmu membawa misteri

Ku terpisah dari bumi...

Terapung

Di awang-awangan...

Bersama kita keasyikan...

Rasakan Levitasi...

(Bridge: Puisi Fynn Jamal)

Entahlah tentang manusia..

Mungkin pada riuh... datang kekebalan..

Mungkin pada bising... muncul kekuatan..

Maka riuhlah, maka bisinglah

Aku tak hairan

Angin kencang aku tak takut

Dengar aku jerit pada langit, gunung, rimba dan laut

Aku berani... aku berani...

Verse 3

(Kaka)

Kotakan nawaitu

Katakan nan hakiki

Madunya masih ditagihi

Dari tabir balaclava ku dihakimi

Masih digembala rejim yang menzalimi

Ay... nyala pelita hindari kegelapan

Nantikan cahaya nur bergermelapan

Di petala lapan lemas berdakapan

Nantikan keberangkatan

Dalam perjalanan

Dengar lagu Rindu

Senandung lama yang memilu

Dihargai satu, dibencinya seribu

Restukan ekstradisi ke halaman nibiru

Sakti dan magika mainan seketika

Di persada kalachakra jangan leka

Demi kebebasan, esok yang merdeka

Hati terbang mencari Yang Esa

Chorus:

Levitasi..

Hadirmu membawa misteri

Ku terpisah dari bumi...

Terapung

Di awang-awangan. ..

Bersama kita keasyikan...

Rasakan Levitasi...

Bukan Mudah - Nukilan & Malique

Hampir lelah hampir jatuh diri ini,

Bila separuh semangat tiada di sisi,

Tak mengapa ku tempuhi dugaan,

Bukan mudah berjalan berseorangan.

Tubuh yang mengah lesu, berkais dan melombong,

Pulang menapak laju dalam langkah yang melonjong,

Yang menegur khabarku, berpaling bukan sombong,

Titikku kini satu senyumkan yang dah melolong,

Kadang terkena pedang bermata dua kurebah,

Sedang terleka pandang permata disengat lebah,

Biarpun lelah, lara takkan gundah dalam lemah,

Ku sedar bukan mudah diludah beransur kebah,

Pecah jari-jemari tekan tubi pensil kayu,

Resah harianku telan ubi berkipas bayu,

Bangkit hadap mentari biar terik ku tak layu,

Berlari kerah lagi selagi ku dirgahayu,

Tiada yang ringan dalam hal yang dititik-beratkan,

Tekanan, perjalanan jadi pengalaman beratkan,

Bermula dari angan bergiat sampai ke tua,

Masih terngiang suara ibu membisik petua.

Hampir lelah hampir jatuh diri ini,

Bila separuh semangat tiada di sisi,

Tak mengapa ku tempuhi dugaan,

Bukan mudah berjalan berseorangan.

Berjaya, melangkah pagar kawat berduri,

Percaya, adakah hidup ini berjuri?

Sentiasa dihakim, dihukum darah sendiri,

Berjasa pun dihakim, dihukum jasa dicuri,

Bersuara lantang ku tiada cara dipertengah,

Berdiri tegak aku nak diendah hingga megah,

Berdiam diri pula dibakar hati disergah,

Menyiram benih cita nak bercambah bukan mudah,

Ke langit tidak sampai ke bumi tidak terpijak,

Sesak nafas tergapai, maka tangkis dengan bijak,

Mana langit kujunjung di situ bumi kupijak,

Usaha yang kan usung pergerakan harus bijak,

Bersedia di zahir mahirkan dari dirantai

usah endah yang diraptai gusar hilang nak bersantai,

Rujuklah awal akhir sebelum merempuh badai,

Demi yang menanti jangan sekali maruah digadai.

Hampir lelah hampir jatuh diri ini,

Bila separuh semangat tiada di sisi,

Tak mengapa ku tempuhi dugaan,

Bukan mudah berjalan berseorangan.

Dengarkan, fikirkan, zikirkan, dikirkan,

Serapah pejuang-ulang sehingga mahkota dijulang,

Dari putih mata, biar putus tunjang, putih tulang,

Walaupun terbuang, dampar dasar cerun curam suram,

Kalau hati bercahaya pasti temui jalan pulang,

Tukar orientasi, modifikasi modus operandi,

Digantikan cogan, gantikan slogan, hidup lataif nan mati,

Diasahkan taji, kibarkan panji-panji, ingati janji-janji,

Serikandi masih menanti-nanti di menara candi...

Ya, menara candi.

Masih menantikanmu di menara candi

Hampir lelah hampir jatuh diri ini,

Bila separuh semangat tiada di sisi,

Tak mengapa ku tempuhi dugaan,

Bukan mudah berjalan berseorangan.

Damba domba putih atau domba emas jati,

Hanya satu punya sakti tikam hati-hati

Patah-patah yang bercambah menambah risiko

Muncul kemenangan bila terhapusnya ego.

Ego... Ego...

Unrequited Love - Yuna

Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something

But it's like, you have been swimming on the ocean for a very very long time

And you feel like you belong there

You are one with the waves

The warmth of the water

And your body moves in sync with the ocean

And you swim around just trying to stay afloat

Then you get tired and you start to drown

And you swim back to land

When you get there you just feel so heavy because you lost touch with gravity for so long

And you collapse on the beach as you try to find balance again

And then your feet finds gravity

You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time

And you just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was

And how good it made you feel

It was never yours to keep

And somedays you'll miss it, you know

And you feel yourself moving with the waves and you dream of diving in

Then you realize your feet was meant for land

And not cut out for the ocean

Maybe you're meant to climb trees, or hike hills, or just run really fast

Letting go is not easy

There's nothing quite like swimming in the ocean

Just like how it's natural for your feet to find gravity

It's natural for you to let go

And find your true purpose in life again

The sea is the sea

And you are just you

I have to let go

But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again

Lyric:

[Verse 1]

Only when I look into your eyes

My senses ignite

I feel life

I was waiting for an answer

Like a feather falling

From the sky

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't want to belong to me

Cause freedom feels better

Than I could give

You love inadequetely

But you steal hearts like mine

Perfectly

[Chorus]

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be my unrequited love

(Unrequited love)

Why can't our love be

Why can't our love be

Why can't our love be

Possible

[Verse 2]

For as long as I can remember

Like oil and water we collide

But you don't seem to want forever

This adventure was only real to my eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't want to listen to me

Cause freedom sounds better

Than I can sing

You love inadequetely

You steal hearts like mine

Perfectly

[Chorus]

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be my unrequited love

(Unrequited love)

Why can't our love be

Why can't our love be

Why can't our love be

Possible

[Verse 3]

You're a man with excuses

Cause we've had something real

But it was only what I feel, no

Oh you're a man, with your muses

Always wanting something new

And I was just someone that you could use

[Chorus]

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be my unrequited love

(Unrequited love)

Why can't our love be

Why can't our love be

Why can't our love be

Possible

Freneza Vivo - 2.6

“No matter how much suffering you went through, 

you never wanted to let go of those memories.” 

- Haruki Murakami

Zoe looked out of the window of her room.

The rain outside seemed to understand her feelings at this moment.

She looks at the violin case on her bed.

Slowly she sat down and touch her violin case.

Gently her touched the painting on the violin's case with emotionally.

"Dad! What did you do with my case?" Zoe ran to her dad, who was busy try finish his paintings.

"It's nice, right? I'll know you like that..." said her dad with a full of smile in his face. Proud with his work.

"But dad! Nobody do this at they violin case..." Zoe expressed dissatisfaction.

"So, you are the only one. The lucky one..."

"Not everyone were able to get paintings from a famous painters like me"

"Looks, that's my signature..." pointing her dad to her violin case and laugh.

"Dad!"

Zoe's tears fell back when remember her dad.

Memories with her dad can not be forgotten for the rest of her life.

Zoe opened the violin case.

The black violin is still pretty neat.

She lifted the violin and observing every angle on the violin.

This black violin is specially designed for her.

Her name is still beautifully engraved on the violin.

Birthday gift when he was twelve years old from his dad.

Zoe took the violin bow stick and bring the violin to her chin.

It was looked as she was ready to play her violin.

She try pull a bow stick above the string.

At that moment the violin was detached from her grip and Zoe moaning in pain.

"Zoe!" shout her dad.

"No dad! It's not mine!" cried Zoe defending herself.

"If not, why this thing in your bag?" ask her dad and threw the cigarette box onto the floor.

Zoe just cried, looking at cigarettes scattered on the floor.

"Now,  you know how to lie!"

"I don't raised you to lie at me!" scolding her dad.

"Look at me now..."

"How could you... Why are you doing this to me?"

"Is not quite enough with what I've give to you?

"Not enough, until you willing gallivant at the dump place?"

"Tell me!" shout her dad and punched the wall.

"Dad..." Zoe still cry and afraid to see her dad's anger.

"I'll trust you..."

"My whole heart, i'll trust you..."

"Lately, people always talk bad about you..."

"But i'll trust you..."

"You, my daughter, my sunshine... can't do that..."

"You my purely baby..." her dad crying in front of her.

"Why you did that?"

"Why exactly your intention?"

"Get along with the kids who have no future!"

"Smoke, drinking...drunk..."

"Are you want to destroy your bright future!"

"To destroy your dream of being a world-class violinist?"

"You want to end it all!" ask her dad.

"No!" Zoe screams in crying.

"No dad... no..."

"I'd not do that... I'd not touch it all of that things"

"Please trust me..."

"Dad, please..." Zoe begs to her dad.

"Think properly, what do you want in this life?"

"If you really want to forget your dreams..."

"I will break the violin myself..."

"A crumble of that violin, is a shattered of my heart..." say his dad before he goes away.

Zoe crawled to go to his violin.

She hugged and kissed the beloved violin.

She never thought must choosing between her dreams and love.

***

"Jack... Jack!" call Zoe but no one replies.

"Jack!" call Zoe again and went into the room. But no one is there.

Suddenly she heard the sound of human voice from outside.

She run out. 

"Jack!" Zoe called in tears.

"Zoe, what happen?" Jack ran to her.

"What happen, sweetheart?" ask Jack and wipe Zoe's tears.

"Jack why not bring Zoe in, first. We discuss inside..." Josh makes suggestions.

They went in and sat facing each other.
Zoe tells what has happened.

"I'll told you before. This place is not for you..."
"You're not supposed to be here."
"See what's happen now..." told Josh.

"What do you mean?"
"Why Zoe can be in here?" Jack asked in an angry tone.

"She my girlfriend of course she should to be here..."
"It's all their fault who spread the slander about us..."
"If not, it's impossible for Zoe's father to be upset." said Jack.

"Hey, Jack..."
"Are you lost your mind?"
"Who is he? and who we are?"
"Of course he mad when his daughter in love with someone like you..."
"She been born with a silver spoon in her mouth..."
"But how about you..."
"Looked around, dude!" Josh tries to awaken his friend.

"Hey Josh!"
"What exactly do you want!"
"Are you trying to destroy our relationship?" Jack was awake and hit the table.

Rex and Zoe caught Jack from going lunged Josh.

"Jack, relax..." said Rex.

"Jack, please calm down..."
"I'm not be here to see you like this..."
"Jack, Please!" Zoe begged.

"I'll just tell the truth."
"If you guys not listen it, is up to you..."
"But please remember it..."
"She is a girl who has a future..."
"Don't destroy her future and pull her into our world..."
"You're killing her without you know it..." told Josh and walked out of the place.

"I don't want to interfere in this..."
"This is not my problem..."
"Everything is up to you..."
"I'll go..." said Rex and ran to Josh who had disappeared from their sight.

"Jack..." Zoe holding Jack's hand.

"Don't worry Zoe, I will never leave you."
"No matter what they are trying to say or do, I will still be next to you..."
"I promise, I swear..."
"Whatever happen, i will stay with you..."
"And I promise and make sure you'll can achieve your dream..." Jack holds Zoe's hand and swears.

***

Jack walked home. The steps are getting weaker.
He went from one alley to the other alley.
Today all day he goes to find work but no one succeeds.
He has promised with Zoe to change his fate.
Despite all the difficulties, he needs to keep his promise.

"Fuhh..." tired.
He sat on a chair facing the street.
He looked at the road while thinking about something

He is someone who likes to take it easy all things.
He never once thought about his future.
He only works for what is needed only.
He never worked hard to earn more money or try to improve his life.
If he have a free time, his prefers hanging out, smoking or playing the guitar with his friends.
He started smoking and drinking at a very young age.
Josh was always upset with his attitude.
But nothing Josh can do, all his childhood friend living in the area live like that.
Only he who was lucky enough to be a smart boy and managed to enter the elite school with full scholarship offer.

Josh...
an ambitious boy.
Never give up with his dream.
His a very kind and considerate person. He is a very good friend. Brotherhood.
Josh is always there when he needs help.

Josh is also the reason he meets Zoe.

Zoe...
When she smile, laughing, sulked... everything will make her heart uneasy.
Even a day if they not met it will make his going crazy.
That girl introduced her to a new world he never dream to get there.
She very positive thinker, nice person and always support him.

"Shakespeare... Robinson..." He laugh alone when think about that.
He's a homeless boy but talks about poem. Bitch.

Jack saw someone across the street.

He was stepping into a restaurant and greet someone.

His manner and style looks from a wealthy family.
Sir Adam, Zoe's dad.
A famous painter and very influential from a noble family.

Jack feels down.

Zoe with her best friend, Mia and Ava walked into the restaurant without noticing Jack was watching their behavior across the street.
They greet Zoe's dad and his friends.
Zoe looks so spoiled with his dad.
She looks so happy with them.

Can he give this same happiness?

Jack sigh, weakly. He was reminded of Josh's words.

"She been born with a silver spoon in her mouth..."

"She is a girl who has a future..."
"Don't destroy her future and pull her into our world..."
"You're killing her without you know it..."

"Zoe..."
"You don't know how much i love you..."
"I can't live without you..."
"But I'm not even able to see you live in suffering..." said Jack.

***

"Where you want to go...?" ask Josh when see Jack busy packing his stuff.

"Somewhere..." said Jack without looking at Josh.

"But where?" ask Josh again.

"Get your nose out of my business!" shrieked Jack.

"Jack! Are you crazy!"

"This will not solve anything..." He pulls Josh out to calm down.

While Rex tried to calm Josh.
Jack came out with his baggage.

"Jack!"
"Oh, please no dude! Don't go..." Rex try to stop Jack from leaving.

"I'll made a decision. This is my final decision. No one can change it..."
"I'll be back. Don't worry..."
"I'll be back after being a better person than you can see now!"
"That's my promise..." Jack said.

"Zoe..."
"How about her?"
"She know what are you wanna do?"
"Where you wanna go?" Rex asked. Jack wast silent, bowed.

"Josh.." Jack looked at Josh who looking out.

"Why me?
Why don't you told her?

Why you want to involve me on this?" Josh asked.

"Because... i can't...

This farewell is very painful for me..." told Jack.

"How about her?

Jack stumbled upon Josh's words.

"Dad! Wait a moment! I'll forgot something. I'll go take it..." Zoe stepped out of her car.

"Wait for a while. She want to get something..." tell Zoe's dad to his driver.

Her dad's just sigh and smile.
He was too acquainted with his lovely daughter.
Clumsy, spoiled but lively.

"Ok, dad! Let's go!" Zoe sit next to her dad.

"How about your feelings?
Nervous?" ask her dad.

"A little bit but i'm more excited.
 This is what I'm waiting for..." Zoe smile to her dad. Trying to cover her nervousness.

"I'm sure you can do it!
You've been practicing for a long time. Your hard work will surely be paid off" told her dad.

"I will try my best.." told Zoe and hold her bracelet.

That bracelet was a gift from her lover, Jack.
Already a month Jack had left without news.
She did not know where he goes.
She already ask Josh and Rex but they also didn't even know where Jack had disappeared.
That's what makes her worried every day.
At this moment she is only able to hold on with Jack's words the night before he went missing.

"I have things to do tomorrow,

Probably have to go out for a few days,

Don't worry, I'll be there on the day of your competition...

Make sure to do your best..." said Jack and blew the last smoke before throwing the cigarette butt onto the ground and stepping on it.

"I'll do the best. I'll make sure to do that..." said Zoe as if whispering.

Her dad turned his head to Zoe's and hold Zoe hand.

"Life is a daily learning process.
Sometimes life throws you a curveball.
Sometimes what looks horrible in the present, actually turns out to be a blessing in disguise.
Whether its good or bad, there is always a reason as to why it happened.. and the funny thing is,
in most of those situations where we feel like we have hit the bottom so hard and might never bounce back, a blessing always awaits at the end of the hustle..." Zoe's dad looked to her and smile.

"Why, suddenly..." Zoe try to say something but her dad keep continuing his words.

"You're a to precious for me...
your birth gives a million meanings in my life.
I'll remember most about those times were that I've felt impossible and overwhelming.
When i'd look at your face, your smile, your voice...
Nothing impossible in is life..." told her dad again.

"Dad's..." Zoe look at her dad with a strange face. She holds and gripped her dad hand when see her dad look sad.

"I don't know why ... but suddenly I feel sad when realize that you've grown up ...
When you said you make sure to do the best,
I'll know you not my little kids anymore...
You're a big girls now.
Sometime I'll feel's you don't need me anymore...

That's the saddest thing for me..." told her dad.

"No dad, I'll still need you...

You're my world, you are my life..." told her and hug hers dad.

"My dear,

Not all in this life will end up like what is planned.

Sometimes it is beyond our expectations.

But whatever happens do not forget to step forward.

Do not let yourself be swallowed up in the past...

Promise me, my dear?" her dad asked.

"Promise?" ask her dad again.

"Yeah, I promise..." Zoe's said and wept like a little baby. Her dad just hugged her and persuade her.

"Look, what are you already done?! Where's my mirror?" Zoe is looking for a mirror in her bag. 

"Oh my face... How can I stand on stage as like this?" says Zoe when see her face in the mirror. Her dad just laugh when see Zoe in anxiety.

"You performed with your violin not use your face..." her dad said.

"Dad's!" Zoe yells, resentful.

"What?!" her dad asked.

"Don't worry. Ava will help you there. She's waiting for us. She can turn you into a super model..." her dad joked.

"What! No!" Zoe yells again.

"Sir, is the building in front of it?" the driver asked.

"Yes, just leave me at there.
And come back after the..." Zoe's dad was stunned when looking ahead.

"Zoe!" her dad shout and hugging Zoe closely.

"Sir!" the driver also screamed and blink of an eye they feel their bodies tossed out.

The truck didn't know where it came from, breaking their car firmly and causing their car to turn around before crashing into the lamp post by the roadside.

All that was there was shocked and swarmed over them.

***

The atmosphere in the front of the emergency room was rather grim.
All that was just bowed and sat silent.

Mr. Harrison, Zoe's father best friends and Miss Elena, Zoe's father personal assistant was been there.

Ava and Mia with Mr. Ethan, Ava's driver just sat silent when Mr. Harrison and Miss Elena discuss about something.

"The driver that had violate them, is drunk and was dead...." told Miss Elena after talking to someone.

"How about..." Mr. Harrison stopped when emergency room door opened and a doctor walked out and headed toward them.

"Doctor, how about them? How their condition?" Mr. Harrison asked.

"I'm sorry...
We tried our best but the bleeding was very bad.
We could not save him..
I'm really sorry..." the doctor said.

"What?!" Mr. Harrison shocked and slumped weak. Miss Elena helps him to get up.

"No! Zoe!" shout Mia and cry aloud.

"How about the kids? His daughter? She alive?" ask Mr. Harrison to the doctor.

"Yes, she lucky can survive.
But..." the doctor hesitate to tell them the truth.

"But what?!
Don't worry you can tell us. We apart of her family right now." told Mr. Harrison.

"She alive but the condition is still weak.
But after she aware maybe she can get some complications.
But it will not be a long, we will treat her and give some healing program..." told the doctor.

"So?" Mr. Harrison doubt there is still something that has not been explained more clearly.

"Her hands,
She left hand have dislocations, and fractures on her bones.
We waiting for surgeon to discuss with her family..." told the doctor.

"What!
She is a violinist. Hand is part of her life!
You should do something!
Mr. Harrison! Miss Elena!" Ava can't control her anger.

"Doctor, she's a musician.
She has a bright future as a professional violinist.
Can you do something or make sure she can use her hand as usual.
Can she play a violin like before?" Mr. Harrison seeking certainty.

***

"Dad's..."

"Dad's!"

Ava and Mia approached Zoe who was still lying on the bed.
Her eyes were still closed although her lips had called hers father.

"Zoe..." Mia can't hold back her tears.

"Dad's...
Where are you?
Where am i?" Zoe trying to wake up but his condition doesn't allow it.

"What happen to me?
Why I can't get up?
What happen to my hand's?" question-by-question makes all of them dumb to speak.

Mia and Ava unable to withstand their grief and embrace each other.
Mr. Ethan and Miss Elena try to calm them.

Mr. Harrison take a deep breath and wipe the rest of tears.
He also in deadlock.
But now it has become its responsibility.

"Zoe..." Mr. Harrison try to calm Zoe who's looked confused.

"Where's my dad?" Zoe's asked.

"Dad's!" shout Zoe and cried when Mr. Harrison still did not answer his question

Dad's!

Dad!

"Zoe's..."

"Zoe's honey, please wake up...
Honey..." Lex holding his wife's shoulder and gently pat her cheek.

"Lex's?" Zoe was awaken from her nightmare.

"Yes, it's me Zoe...
Don't be scared...
I'm here, you with me right now...
It's okay, I'll be here ..." Lex hugged Zoe tightly. Trying to comfort and give spirit to his wife.

Zoe was still trembling, crying endlessly .

“My life closed twice before its close;

It yet remains to see

If Immortality unveil

A third event to me,

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,

As these that twice befell.

Parting is all we know of heaven,

And all we need of hell.” –Emily Dickinson

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal

Memories… let them fill your mind, warm your heart, and lead you through.

Freneza Vivo - 2.5

This is the day!

The event will start soon.
Designer's, models, hairdressers, makeup artists and includes all staff in front or behind the scenes busy with their work.
They strives and works hard to ensure the success of this night.

They have runway rehearsal yesterday.
This is to ensure all of the models and their staff know what to do at the real show.
This way it's less likely someone will mess up.

Ryan and Ava are waiting behind the scenes.
Although this is not the first time they have organized a fashion show,
But every time this event happen,them will not run from willies and excited feelings.

"Are you sure he can do that?" ask Ava suddenly.

"Who's? Him?" Ryan asked back while looked at someone.

"We have no time to say NO, Ava..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Ryan said confidently.

Guests have already started to fill the space.
The event will start at any time.

"Are you ready guys!" shout Ryan.
When everyone screams they ready, they gather together and cheer.
And Ryan signaled his staff for starting the event.

Event started!

The fashion show from Chris & Claire is among the most anticipated every year.
Most of their models are from famous celebrities.
However, Ava always tries to take as many new models as possible in their fashion show to gain experience.

The thing that many people don't know it. Normally!
New or unfamiliar models in the fashion industry are often not paid.
They are only given free clothes from the designer's collection according to the specified value.
But not in Chris & Claire!
They pay new models appropriate with the hard work and the results they get.

Mia and Zoe are sitting in the front row with their spouse.
Honestly both Mia and Zoe, they are not interested in such an event.
Their presence is only to give moral support to Ava and Ryan.

"It's that Katherine?"
"Wow, she's look different..."impressed Mia.

"Yeah, no one can deny it..."
"But why we still need to do this?" ask Zoe and looked at Mia.

"Yeah, why we must..." Mia sighed while looked at the clipboard in her hand.

Zoe and Mia looking at their clipboard.
There are several sheets of paper for them fill in comments and points score for the final contestant.
Actually this clipboard is only given to certain people who are directly involved in the fashion industry such as editor in chief or fashion director.

Because of that, Zoe and Mia don't know why every year they have to do this.
The fact is they 'nothing' in fashion industry.
They don't know anything about fashion.
Mia and Zoe looked towards they husband who's diligently taking notes on the clipboard.
While Mia and Zoe just let the clipboard empty without any notes or marks.

"It's not my world's..." sighed Zoe.

Lex heard his wife's complaint took the clipboard from Zoe's hand.
Zoe looked towards Lex with a strange sight.

"You don't have to do it, if you don't like."
"Ava will understand it..." told Lex and grasped Zoe's hand.

"Are you sure that?" Zoe asks for certainty. Lex just replies with a convincing smile.

Zoe smiled towards Mia.
Mia shows her annoying face and made Zoe laugh.

Suddenly, the lights is turn off and music is stopped.
And sounded like footsteps on the stage.
All the guests were keep silent.



The sounds violin friction makes Zoe a bit frightened.
Zoe's groped looking for Lex beside her.
Lex knew about Zoe's condition brought her closer to him.

"It's okay dear. I'm here..." Lex grasp Zoe trembling hands.

"Zoe, why it sounds like..." Mia examined the sounds of violin she listening.

Mia suddenly realized something.
She quickly looked at Zoe with anxiety.

"Don't worry, she's okay..." told Luke when conscious Mia's worries.

Zoe's looked at Lex who was smile and hold tight Zoe hand's try to give her strength.

They are troubled couples.
They have the trauma they need to overcome.
And finally they succeed, though not entirely.
But they are trying.

She hugged Lex's arm.
She felt calm when Lex was beside her and took a deep breath.

"Violin Concerto."
"Tchaikovsky..." said Zoe calm while closing her eyes.

"Beautiful pieces. This is one of Tchaikovsky’s best known pieces and one of the hardest to play." said Lex.

"Yeah. Indeed..."

"He wrote this piece of music in a somewhat tumultuous time in his life,
after experiencing relationship issues and a crisis of confidence in his previous work."

"Because of that, you can hear his roller-coaster of emotions in the concerto, extreme highs and pensive lows, culminating in an uplifting ending, that signifying him coming to terms with his feelings." Zoe explain while observing the violinist skills.

"Wow, you know well. Very impressive..." praise Lex.

The lights turned on back.
The violinist is standing in the middle of the stage walked forward while still continue playing his pieces.

Zoe smiled when she heard a small mistake the violinist do.
The guests were probably not aware of the mistake.
But not her!
That pieces, made her practice day and night without rest.
Impossible, she may be mistaken.

The violinist impresses the audience with his beautiful pieces.
All of them were as stunned by the friction of the violin.
Unexpectedly, the audience cheered when recognize the violinist figure.

"Ken! The masked violinist!" someone shouted make Zoe's open her eyes.

"Ken?" Zoe looks at the violinist with a disbelief face reaction. Because the mask was worn violinists, Zoe could not recognize his face.

"Yes, he's Ken. The famous violinist that I've told you before..." told Lex.

"Oh did he, do you mean that day?" ask Luke.

"Yes, it's him..." said Luke.

"Impressive..." praise Luke.

"You know him, Zoe?" asked Mia.

"No, impossible..."
"It's not him..." said Zoe and ignoring Mia's question without conscious .

All the guests stood and applauded when the violinist bowed respectfully.
They also joined up and clapped their hands.

The violinist is ready for his second performance.
He unsheathing his violin bow to Zoe, and staring at her face.

Zoe is stunned, as well as Mia beside her.

This time he did not play violin solo. There is a background music accompanying it.
But his performance is still pretty sweet.
But for Zoe, this song seemed to be sarcastic to her.
Zoe suddenly snorted. Resentful.

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?

"His so talented..." praise Luke.

"Yeah, it's true. We can't deny it..." Lex said but feel uneasy when his noticed the violinist's eyes still staring at his wife's.

One by one models walked out to finish a final walk-through at a fashion show making the violinist turn his gaze and performing like their rehearsal as before.
After all the models go out and stand side by side.
The violinist end his performances.
Ryan and Ava walked out of the backstage together.
All guest stood up and applauded.
Ryan and Ava bowed respectfully.
Followed by all who stood behind them include the violinist.

The runway ends!

Party time!

Ryan and Ava busy entertaining their guests and answering questions from journalists.

"Fashion need to move.
Otherwise it will be stagnant.
So, there is no classical , traditional, modern, there is no history.
Fashion need to follow movement of time" Ryan give his comment.

"Everything comes from hard work,
sweat and tears of all the people involved in this event." said Ava when asked about the success of their event today.

"Mirror is very deceiving. You only see one dimension.
It's not just about you. That's the way i'd reassess myself.
To produce a better collection don't have self gratification" said Ryan about his collection.

"As a designer, my artwork is on the human body.
They should be able to walk, sit and run in it.
Must be suit with wearer and comfortable..." continue Ava.

Ryan and Ava glanced to each other and smile.
To be honest most of their designs are inspired by Mia and Zoe.

Both Mia and Zoe never liked fashion world.
They are uncomfortable when forced to torture themselves to look beautiful and neatly.

There is no such thing, beauty is pain for them.

Because of that they should be making design that suit with their good friend,

but still looks luxurious, stylish and beautifully worn.
And what's surprising,

most often the design for them, is the best-selling market.

"Congratulations!!!" they shout together celebrate the success of their best friend.

"Thanks for coming, guys." Ryan is grateful. Ava, Mia and Zoe hugged among them.

"Can i'll ask you something?" ask Luke.

"Yes, sure. What is it?" said Ryan.

"Why classical music? you always like modern song or catchy things?" ask Luke.

"We want something different for this year. Coincidentally, the violinist was very popular and was a hot topic out there. We just use the opportunity we get..." explain Ryan.

Zoe looked right at Ava's face with a question mark.

Ava holds Zoe's hand begged her patience.

"Oh, because of that you want to meet Steve?" ask Luke again.

"Hi guys!" greet Steve.

"Steve! What a great surprise!"

"When you get here?"  greet Luke.

"About a few weeks..."

"We meet last week but Lex said you are not here..." told Steve.

"Oh yes, this week have a very tight schedule..." sigh Luke.

"It's okay, i'll know you. Work always come first, right?" said Steve. 

"Oh, almost forgot. Introduce the musicians under my care now..." Steve pulling the violinist hands when he saw him.

"His Ken, the masked violinist..." whisper Steve don't want others to hear it.

"So, it's you..." 

"Nice to meet you..." greet Luke.

"Hi, we meet again..." greet Lex.

"Aaa...ja..." Mia almost screamed when saw Ken's face. Ava quickly closed Mia's mouth and pulled her back.

Ava and Ryan looked each other.

Zoe approached and held Lex's arm tight.

Lex looked at Zoe's face and smiled.

He takes Zoe's hand and holds it tight.

Understands his wife's displeasure.

"Guys, let me introduce you to my little family..."

"You already know my wife Ava, right?"

"So this is her best friend that I has regarded like my own sister, Mia and Zoe..."

"And for your information, Mia is Luke's wife and Zoe is a Lex's wife..." Ryan introduced them.

"Hi... " greet Steve but speechless when saw Zoe, who's try smile back at him.

"Is not she the girl that day?

"She Lex's wife?" 

"Seriously!" Steve shouted in his heart. He looked at Ken. Suspicious.

"I'll know..."

"It looks like I'm unwelcome in here..." said Ken with a disappointed tone.

Luke appalled by facial expression of his friends and word from Ken.

"I know I promised to Ava will go away after the event is over"

"But i'll think i should meet you guys before i'm leave..." told Ken.

"You promise, what?" ask Steve but unattended.

"You are a man who never holds the promise!" Ava sniffed angry.

"Ava..." Ryan rebuking her to silence.

"I just came to give this.." Ken take something from her side and gave it to Zoe.

"Zoe, this is not..." Mia looked at Zoe and Ava who were also surprised to ask for certainty.

"your violin case..." Mia continued.

All look towards violin cases in front of them.

But no one dared to touch it.

The violin case are very beautifully decorated with oil paintings from the famous painters one time ago.

"It's not just a cases..." told Ken and open the violin case. Zoe almost slumped when saw the violin in the case. Lex holds strong Zoe's body from falling.

"How could this violin be with you?" ask Ava with resentment.

"Was not it lost during the accident?" ask Mia.

"Yes..." sigh Ken.

"Someone stole it from Zoe's car and with fate he come to me..." Ken told them honestly.

"What!" shout Mia and Ava. Zoe just froze staring at her beloved violin.
