Chapter 3: CHAPTER III: The First Trial

In a small village, a farmer was ready to go to his rice field. He already finished eating when he noticed a visitor in his house.

Harvey was shocked when he was brought on a village as what he saw in the safe box. He slapped his face as for hoping he will return to reality. But, nothing's happen. He saw an old man in a strewn hat having meal. He approached the old man and asked, "Grandpa, what place is this?". The old man lazily answered, "You don't remember me grandson. You're now even asking weird questions." Harvey don't know how to answer the old man. If he continued to ask, the old man may get mad. So, he remained silent for a while to reflect for another question.

So, he had now a clue. This world set him as a grandson of an old farmer.

He doubted to ask the Grandpa but he pursued, " Grandpa, what is my name?" The Grandpa explained, "You don't remember again. Indeed, you don't remember since you were hit by a car in the city. You are Harvey. Your mother sent you hear for vacation, and she will pick you about seven days after." Harvey thought for a moment and said, "It symbolizes my real life, huh? The Grandpa was confused and diverted, "You have a friend fifty meters away, I've thought you need to pass three houses before you can reach to him. If you forgot her name, I would tell you. Her name is Anna. She visited yesterday but you're not here so I said you will visit her today." Harvey interrupted, "Grandpa, do you have paper and pen?" The Grandpa pointed the small study table. Harvey walked towards the table and got the paper and pen. He said, "I will go now." Grandpa answered, "You, child, don't get home late. You must be here before the sun set." Harvey agreed and walked out through the door. 

He walked through the rocky road. He scanned his environment, and he found the wide rice field. In front of the rice field was the twin mountains. He even counted the 10 shabby houses in the south road. And he walked back to the north road where third house was located, he saw a maiden outside the house. The woman was carrying a wicker basket. He slowly approached the maiden and greeted, "Good day!". When the woman saw Harvey, she smiled and told, "Come, Harvey. What takes you so long? I visited you yesterday but you're not there." Harvey was perplexed. He followed the woman and asked, "Anna, right?"

Anna nodded and asked Harvey back, "Why you have gone for too long? I miss you so much. "

Harvey was surprised on the words he heard. He had a bad feeling that this woman had some issue with him. So, he diverted the topic.

"What date is today?", Harvey asked.

Anna was shocked. 

"Why?", Harvey interrupted Anna who was in a puzzled face.

"Why you're so cold towards me? I am your girlfriend. You don't remember me, huh?", Anna talked sweetly. 

"Oh, I don't really remember you. I have an accident. Sorry.", Harvey explained with an expressionless face.

The woman was in tears when she observed Harvey. She cried and cried until her eyes were swollen. Anna left Harvey in the porch, and she went to the kitchen to cook the bananas. She was still crying when she leaved. 

While in the porch, Harvey was sitting on a bamboo chair. He watched the ambience of the small hut when, suddenly, he saw a familiar figure who was standing in the neighborhood. This man was wearing a farmer's clothes with a strewn hat. 

The man waved his hand and walked towards Harvey. 

'Man, you abandon me?", the man teased.

"Zion, right?", Harvey asked.

"Oh, you even forgotten my precious name. Oh, where's your girlfriend?", Zion mocked.

Harvey was now in the verge of exposing his anger level. He wanted to fight with this man in the future. To ease his angriness, Harvey walked back inside the hut and ignored Zion. He met the woman again and now she was carrying a tray full of cooked bananas.  It was still smokey. 

"Harvey, let's eat", Anna calmly urged.

"I am sorry for earlier. I am just shocked.", Harvey faking his apologies.

Harvey wanted to laugh because this was his first time experiencing this thing. Anna saw his laughing face.

"Are you crazy?", Anna asked

"Oh, yes. I have also a companion.", Harvey pointed Zion who was watching them.

Anna looked Zion for a moment when there was a splash of blood. Harvey was eating when he saw the woman's head fell down. She was beheaded. Harvey was shocked and retched. He moved far away from the scene. He even shouted "Zion, she's dead."

Zion was laughing when he watched Harvey who was the king of aloofness was now in the bridge of fear. Harvey saw Zion laughing so he calmed his self. He was embarrassed. 

The decapitated woman was still sitting in the bamboo chair. Her body moved towards the kitchen and leave. Harvey was dumbfounded. He did not expect that the dead was still movable. He glanced Zion who was now in his side. He saw Zion's natural face that seems he encountered that thing in the past. Zion's actions made Harvey felt ashamed. This man was not intimidated with the scene. He even had the opportunity to smile. 

"Are you intimidated?", Zion asked Harvey who was still in shock.

"I am a man, bro. What's there to be afraid of?", Harvey defended.

"Oh, I know you're a man. But you look like a maiden for me.", Zion proposed.

"Man, that's illegal. That's a sin.", Harvey reminded.

While they were chatting, a loud thud was heard in the kitchen. They quickly looked for it. What they saw was the scattered pieces of flesh and skin. The kitchen was like a grinding machine. Harvey retched silently in the corner. While Zion inspected the outside of the kitchen. 

"You're Grandpa kill her.", Zion spoke.

"What? Why?", Harvey was startled.

"Yes. I saw him running away from here.", Zion continued.

"Is killing prohibited, right?", Harvey asked.

"Earth has a law. This world don't acknowledge laws."

Harvey was dismayed about hearing Zion's word. He wanted now to go back to the Earth where he can get a peace of mind. So, he walked out the door and got home leaving Zion behind. While he was walking along the road, he saw that the sun was now going to set. He hurried his step. He did not know what to do. He walked as fast as he can when he lost his balance. He collapsed in the rocky road.
