The Heart of the Ocean
[I have promised to tell you the story of underwater, but instead here I would story-tell you about the written plot, the hidden memories, from the whale of Filla when assisting her first visitor. So please, take your seat.]
She is the youngest in her colony, always the latest one, even others start to call her the leftover. She is hardly accepting her own dream to become the captain of the blue whale pact, because of that tact. The day after, it comes to the time where she has to escort someone, the special visitor from the un-blue land, yet the first time they meet, he seems so blue. He is nothing but all the blueness compiled into a jar which also breathes and speaks — and yes, Filla the whale will be the one who assists this epitome of ocean’s color.
#1 Phase : Southern (7.85 million mi^2)
_
They are walking side by side. In silence. She is never the one who is talking, never. Either it’s because the water is too cold or the people are. But in the middle of the lane, she sees him glancing at her.
..
First time,
Second time,
Third time,
…and countless numbers follow.
..
He says something and all the way, the silence breaks.
“I want to try my best to give that to you.”
“I want to be the best I can do for you.”
..
Her heart is snatched and he keeps smiling so blue.
#2 Phase : Indian (27.24 million mi^2)
_
She has acknowledged how this man is loving the nightfall, as he said it beforehand. And she is always the biggest lover of sunshine, even when she is unable to reach and touch her dearest one. But one night — when the moon blinks in the sky, when the dark engulfs the page of earthling, he innocently throws the phrase of magic:
..
“Please don’t sleep right now, please wait for me. I want to talk with you. I’ve been busy all the way, I want to mingle with you.”
And — she probably starts to love the moonlight better than the daylight.
#3 Phase : Atlantic (41.10 million mi^2)
_
He is a good dad of kittens, or perhaps other animals also. He loves satay. He is one member of that xx faculty. He has projects. He manages group work things. A — z and z — a, she knows. It’s not an usual thing because she wasn’t used to know anything, or to be told anything. He is an open door, and he lets her come in.
..
“Mom, look, someone shares his being with me. Someone out there is trusting me, and being comfortable with me” She mumbles.
#4 Phase : Arctic (5.43 million mi^2)
_
She despises being called a baby, as it reminds to her ‘latest' fate. And as much as she can remember, it is just a capsule of pain. But this blue is different,
..
“Oh my baby whale” — he said.
Why doesn’t she become mad?
Why doesn’t she inject her feral?
..
He is just smiling, like there is no impact between his words, between his sober mimic.
..
“You did a great job, baby whale.”
“I love everything you do and everything about you”
“It’s only you”
..
Ah, she knows exactly why the line ‘I hate' can’t be in the same sentence with this blue, with him.
Phase #5 : Pacific (63.80 million mi^2)
_
Oh my blue,
Oh Kak Gema,
Do you know that we have arrived in the Pacific Ocean?
And do you know what pacific means?
Yes, it’s peace, or perhaps tranquil, you name the deeper one — it’s the definite feeling when I’m being with you, the feeling of being accepted, the feeling of being appreciated, the feeling of being loved, and the other feelings which can be transcribed as blue.
..
Last time I heard the phrase “so blue” and it meant sadness, unhappiness, sorrow, gloomy, and the previous meaning of blue before I met you.
Now I only see the color of blue as you — and you as the color of blue. Every blue spark captured on my eyesight will remind me of your being, with all happiness you bring into my day, my life, and my soul.
..
Be blue.
Until the time you come back into the land.
Until the moment I can stand on the sand without cutting my waistband.
..
