The Roar Of The Ocean
Chanting
"Huh?" Tivana turned her head, there was just something heard by her eardrums.
What was that? The inner girl, confused. Looking here and there, it invites the attention of friends who are right next to it.
"What's Tivana?" rachel asked, following Tivana's view that looks like researching every inch of beach scenery in front of there.
There's no answer. Tivana seemed cool with his own activities, even his eyes became very narrow to sharpen his vision.
The neglected Rachel turned back to Tivana, clearly there was nothing ahead of her but the shoreline that was hit by the waves and the vast ocean.
"Tivana?" call Rachel.
The girl who owned the name Tivana finally turned her head; towards her friend. There was an empty pause before the girl spoke.
"You hear Rachel's singing?" tanyanya. Clearly ignoring all the questions Rachel was asking.
Rachel's forehead wrinkled, confused. What did the girl next to him say? A chant? What chant? Rachel heard nothing but the sound of seagulls flying in the afternoon.
"Ti.. no.." said Rachel confused.
Tivana's hue that had previously looked very serious turned relaxed after hearing a remark from Rachel, her friend.
"really?" that girl, innocent.
"Maybe I misheard, I heard a voice like Rachel singing." she said. Rachel who was sitting right next to the girl rotated her eyes, she then opened her voice.
"Really?"
Tivana.
"Yes!" answer's short.
Rachel was silent for a moment.
"Maybe because of exhaustion, that's why you hear strange noises." Rachel comments later. Tivana nodded in agreement, perhaps the statement that her friend said was true.
She was exhausted, and so was Rachel; hence—they got stuck in a small cottage by the beach with a very beautiful sunset view presented right in front of the eyes.
"Should we catch up with them or go back to the inn?" rachel asked, pointing to another direction where her classmates were; a distance away from the cottage or more precisely near the beach. They're doing zoobenthos sampling there.
Tivana's eyelids are closed.
"Hah~" a heavy breath sounded.
"I think we better get there" he broke up.
...***...
"I heard you used to live here, Tivana?" Johan asked, Tivana and Rachel who heard spontaneously turned to the man. Their dinner activities were restrained thanks to him.
Rachel seemed interested after hearing Johan's words.
"True, you told me about it before we left here to do some research" he said, peppering with Johan. The classmates who were originally cool to enjoy their food also dropped interest, including a companion lecturer from this research activity.
"Whoah? No wonder many people here greet us warmly." said the young companion lecturer, sir Liam.
Tivana shook her head, trying to deny the hoax that Johan was spreading.
"Not so sir!" his objection. All eyes this time were completely fixed on Tivana, which made her sigh deeply. Shit, decih Tivana in the mind. Not too happy to have to tell the past to his campus friends, especially in front of the handsome companion lecturer who honestly Tivana admired this. But, how else do—ya already.
"When I was a kid, I lived here for 3 years. Precisely I was entrusted to the place where my grandparents lived here because my parents were on an expedition to Antarctica, that's why most people here recognize me.." explained Tivana. His contemporaries were oh ria when they heard, they seemed amazed by the story of the two parents of Tivana. No wonder Tivana chose a biology major, because from childhood he was introduced to nature.
"Then why don't we say hello to your grandparents Tivana?" interrupted Rachel suddenly, the others seemed to agree. Padahalkan if you know this they do not have to bother renting lodging, just hitchhiking live at the home of his grandparents Tivana. After all practicum activities for their courses this time only done for less than 5 days. More efficient as it becomes.
Hearing that made Tivana chuckle, she was awkward to tell it but for the sake of eliminating misunderstandings inevitably this 21-year-old girl raised her voice.
"My grandfather and grandmother are dead, and their house was sold by my parents." he said, pinching Rachel's cheek with a look of anxiety. Because of this girl, she had to tell a story.
"Oh my goodness..thank you Tivana.." said sir Liam. Tivana gave a small smile, she nodded already used to responding to such a reaction.
End the storytelling activity finally dinner that was delayed can be resumed. And so did Tivana, she again bribed a mouthful of food into her mouth. They need energy, before continuing practicum activities out of the field.
"Don't forget the report!" exclaim sir Liam suddenly who managed to make all students there moan. Including Tivana.
Hm~
DEG!
Tivana flinched, something had just barged into her eardrum. Exactly what he heard this afternoon. The girl then circulated her gaze, looking at all directions to find out the source of the voice she had just heard though nil. He only got the view from his old-fashioned friends who were busy spending their dinners in the dining room out door of the inn.
"What's wrong?" johan asked, looking back to take an interest in Tivana. The girl who had just received the reprimand shook her head. There is no speech without a sound while squinting at the beach right at the end of the view.
From a distance, there was only darkness from the ocean without any light. The moon also seemed reluctant to bring out its form.
Between the darkness of the sea there was something like a little look in the corner. The bead flashed, long enough before it finally slowly disappeared.

"Eh~ yes... yes." his voice sounded like growling. Something seemed to have succeeded in making the figure tense, the Nurses grinned. It's nice not to play until it displays a row of carnivorous pointy teeth.
Tingled amusedly before finally coming back to growl.
"I eL powder or a..."
Then it disappears; going from there merges with the ocean.
...***...
"Yes..."
Tivana.
"Yes grandma?" saith. I wonder why my grandmother suddenly called her name.
The grandmother smiled, and then stroked the head of Tivana, who is now only 10 years old. There was a short pause before the old woman spoke.
The hand that had originally stroked Tivana's head moved, pointing at something right at the end there. This made Tivana look at what her grandmother wanted to show.
The vast ocean choppy calm.
"If Ana hears singing, move away from the beach" he said later, which clearly presents a big question mark.
Whatdoes thatmean? Inner Tivana—marketing.
DEG!
