The Reincarnation Debate

"Who is that?" rissa asked staring at the picture frame hanging on the wall of her room.

Rissa looked at the confusion of the photo and held her face.

"Why does his face look so similar to mine? who her? is he me? but why would Shivanya's aunt put a picture of me in this room?" asked Rissa who was trying to take a picture frame hanging on that wall.

"Mas Amir" shouted Rissa as her hand was not up to take the picture frame.

"What the hell is deck? don't yell that's not good with Shiva's aunt and the others" said Mas Amir approaching Rissa.

"Take the picture frame, my hand won't take it" said Rissa pointing to one of the picture frames.

"That's you deck? why is your picture in this room?"

"Where do I know, so get that picture frame, we'll ask Shivanya's aunt"

Mas Amir took the picture frame and gave it to Rissa.

"Look we ask Shivanya's aunt" asked Rissa to pull the hand of Amir's mas.

"Yes"

"Tante" call Rissa looking around her.

"Tante Shivanya" call Rissa looking around.

"arghhh!" said a girl who was accidentally hit by Rissa.

"Lu? what are you doing here?" the girl pointed at Rissa.

"Who are you?" rissa asked, pointing at the girl.

"The story is not answered, but behind it!"

"The grandfather! you know for yourself that Rissa forgot her memory" said the boy trying to calm her down.

"But what's he doing here anyway bang?"

"I don't know either, we ask Mama aja yuk"

"Mama" call the girl.

"What's up Lisa?" ask her mother to come over.

"Why is she even here?" lisa pointed at Rissa.

"Shivanya's aunt, who is she?" rissa asked, pointing at the girl who had been fighting with her.

"Gw his son, who are you? you're not anyone who keeps saying you're here, huh? this isn't the house you know! go back there you!"

"Tante Shivanya brought me here" replied Rissa.

"Well, mama, why bring Rissa here? and who's that guy?" lisa pointed to Amir.

"Gw brother Rissa, hm mean brother cousin Rissa" replied mas Amir.

"Oh, it doesn't matter!" lisa ketus.

"Lisa don't do that, son, let Amir be older than you"

"But he's nobody I mah, I don't care"

Eza held and pressed Lisa's hand.

"What the hell is bang?" lisa whispered to look at Eza.

"Hm!"

"Mama deliberately invited Amir and Rissa to our house, because she had already enrolled Amir and Rissa in the same school as you, you mean you'll go to school with Rissa and Amir at Junior High next to your school"

"What's? I have to go to school with him?"

"Yes Rissa"

"I don't want to mah"

"You don't want to have to want Lisa, did you forget? if it was Rissa who saved your life"

"But mom has already paid her hospital fees, mom has been waiting for her in the hospital too, why do you have to put her in the same school as me anyway? and what is it?" ask Lisa who immediately took the picture frame that Rissa held.

"I found this picture hanging in the room I was in" replied Rissa.

"Why did you take a picture of Rissa in that room?" ask Lisa.

"That's not Rissa, but your aunt Fredericka"

"What's? is this aunt Ika? why is his face so similar to Rissa's? mama must be lying, right? you must have secretly taken a picture of Rissa and put it in that room, didn't you?"

"No Lisa, I'm telling you the truth, she was your aunt when I was a kid and not Rissa"

"No! that can't be mah!"

"Your mother told Lisa the truth" Lisa's grandmother said from behind.

Shivanya, Lisa, Eza, mas Amir and Rissa stared at his arrival.

"What does oma mean?"

"Your mother said right Lisa, she was Fredericka Nerissa when she was a child, oma never threw away the pictures of Fredericka, oma always hung the picture frame from small to adult in her room, she was a child, oma and your mother accidentally put Rissa in Fredericka's room, so that Rissa could see the resemblance of her face to Fredericka Nerissa"

"What's? who the hell are you?" lisa's asking pushed Rissa.

"I don't know who I am, they call me "Rissa" I just know it, I don't remember anything"

"Mama showed me a picture of your aunt in the hospital, didn't she? why are you still questioning this Lisa?"

"Hm, but this can't be mah! there's no way anyone can be that similar to someone who has died, you must be human being, right? you must have black magic, right? that's why your face can be that similar to her, I'm telling you!" lisa's snapping pushes Rissa.

"No! so-what do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying, I don't use any science"

"Lisa! don't just talk to you! can't say bad to her!"

"Mom why the hell always belain him? what do you think if she's my aunt's sister's sister? mah, he's not your sister! she's not aunt Ika mah! aunt Ika has long died, my own mother who said if aunt Ika pushed by her lover into the middle of the sea, there is no way that someone could have survived if he had fallen in the middle of the ocean! and if Aunt Ika survived death, she couldn't possibly be a child anymore! she must be like mama now if she can survive her death mah"

"If Ika's brother doesn't survive, then where's the body? if he is gone, the ocean should return his body to the land instead of holding his body in the water, the waves of the beach are very large, right? as big as the waves were the time was not enough to bring the body of Kak Ika to the mainland, mama sure if in fact Ika's brother is still alive, and Rissa is Ika's sister"

"Be aware! it's impossible if Rissa is Ika's sister! brother Ika has long died mah!"

"So I'm not dead! he's alive, don't say that in front of him!"

"Well, she's Rissa not Fredericka's aunt!"

"Nerissa's Shiva is Fredericka Nerissa, I'm sure of it!"

"That's what Mama reincarnated means? do you believe reincarnation is true? what's the evidence if she's Aunt Ika?"

"Yes! mama believes reincarnation is true, and Shiva Nerissa is Fredericka Nerissa! you haven't got the proof yet, but you're pretty sure that Shivanya Nerissa is Fredericka Nerissa"

Lisa looked at her mother, Rissa, Amir, her grandmother, and Eza in confusion and left them. Eza's twin goes after Lisa's departure.
