THE LONG JOURNEY TO YOU
SCREENPLAY LONG JOURNEY TO YOU

            As Algiz said to Deon, Algiz really did not come to visit Deon for a week. In between his free time filming, Deon found out if in some parts of the world experiencing problems such as flash floods, wars and earthquakes. He must be really busy!

            But Deon was no less busy either. Due to some delays that occurred for various reasons the filming process of Deon was completely compressed. Deon's work schedule is really solid until in a day Deon can only sleep between 3-4 hours. Plus ... The final part of the scenario is already in and the final part really takes Deon by surprise.

            Whatisthis?? Deon was surprised to see the final part of the script he received. Why is this the end??

            “Why with your face, Deon?” ask Niel. “Are you surprised by the end of this film?”

            “Ehm .. ” Deon nods his head slowly. Who would have thought my role would die? Not just once but twice!!

            The screenplay, played by Deon, originally had the exact same storyline as the story between Akmana and Madaharsa. Akaman came from the city to the village of Madaharsa and brought the person who was the cause of the destruction of the village because he wanted heirloom objects stored in the village. In order to save the treasure that was almost stolen, Madaharsa called a tsunami disaster that left the village devastated and its inhabitants dead.

            Up to this part, the scenario Deon plays and what happened in the past is more or less the same. A different part is the part where Madaharsa re-awakens in the future to find Akmana who was killed in the disaster he called.

            In the scenario, the reincarnated Akmana became an ordinary person. Akmana's reincarnation falls into the ocean where Madaharsa falls asleep and awakens Madaharsa. After hundreds of years apart, the two met again and had a relationship. It's just .. there are parties who know about the story in the past and Madaharsa's relationship with a man similar to Akmana. If he was part of the story before, the person who brought disaster was the man who became the friend of Akmana then he was in this part of the story of the future, he said, the enemy of Madaharsa and the reincarnation of Akmana is the reincarnation of Baram who also falls in love with Madaharsa.

            In the end Akmana reincarnation died at the hands of Baram while trying to save Madaharsa. Losing Akmana for the second time made Madaharsa tired of his duties. Madaharsa chose to throw the two heirlooms he guarded into the sea and chose to die in hopes of meeting the Akmanas in the afterlife.

            This is the end of the scenario Deon plays this time.

            “You didn't accept dying your role was made dead twice??” ask Niel again.

            “Slightly,” reply Deon.

            “Didn't the story with a tragic ending, always manage to attract its loyal audience?? Like titanic for example.” Niel spoke again.

            “Ka-you are right. It's just that ... died twice, isn't that too tragic for Madaharsa's character in this story??” Deon tried to explain his opinion.

            “Kalo don't like your part, you can talk to the director, Deon. Maybe ... director this time would like to hear your opinion and change the scenario,” said Niel.

            Deon did what Niel suggested. It has become a face for the cast to discuss with the director and screenwriter if there is a part of the story that they think is not good. It has become commonplace as well, some parts of the scenario changed from the initial part. Deon has done the same thing several times.

            “Sorry, Actor Deon! This time I can't!!”

            Unfortunately ... This time Deon couldn't do what he used to do.

            “Why, Sir?? Does the screenwriter not want to change the ending??” Deon asked for an explanation.

            “It has been an agreement between me, the producer and the screenwriter if what is written in this scenario cannot be changed. If I comply with your request, then I will violate the agreement and be required to pay a fine penalty, Deon.”

            Who is the real writer of this screenplay? As soon as he got the director's answer, Deon's mind immediately asked the question. Who her? Benak Deon continued to ask and think. Madaharsa .. Baram and I. Deon thought again while staring at the scenario in his hand. The end of the story of Madaharsa and Akmana to Madaharsa who chose to sleep is only known by Madaharsa, me, Baram and the villagers who used to live but now they are all dead.

            Deon bit his nails. Madaharsa lost her memory when she woke up while I. Could the person who wrote this story be Baram?? Butwhy? Why did he write it? To make Madaharsa remember her past? Or maybe there's another reason??

            In his mind, Deon remembered the face of Algiz. I ... had to ask Algiz about this matter.

            *

            Two days later after Deon waited with great difficulty due to various questions in his mind, Deon was finally able to meet with Algiz.

            “How are you?” hello Algiz when it comes to finding Deon sitting with a sleepy face in the mouth of the cave. “You missed me right??”

            Algiz smiled at Deon's actions because he thought Deon really missed him to the point of being impatient. “Wah ... you really missed me as I requested, Deon!!”

            “I want to ask you something, Algiz.”

            “What?” Algiz was still smiling feeling pleased. “Just ask!”

            Deon began to explain at length about his current project ‘Long Journey to You’ to all the semblance of a scenario with what happened in the past and the difference with that happens in the present.

            “The title is great. Appropriate.”

            After Deon finished telling a long story, that was the comment that came out of Algiz's mouth and managed to make Deon a little upset.

            “Huh?? Don't you understand what I mean?” ask Deon.

            Algiz nodded his head with a small smile on his lips. “Paham. You suspect ... Isaz wrote that story right??”

            Deon nodded his head. “Yes. Can you ask him??”

            “Later I'll ask him.” Algiz answered while holding Deon's head and playing Deon's hair. “But maybe Isaz wrote it too, considering that it was a year ago and I lost my memory. If Isaz really wrote it, that's the only reason I can think of.”

            Deon slightly blushed embarrassedly seeing Algiz smile at him and looked at him with a loving look. “I-it thank you.”

            “When is your project finished??” ask Algiz suddenly.

            “Maybe two weeks away. Filming in this village is only a week and the rest of the week, I will shoot in the city where I live. Why?”?

            “After that ... do you have free time??” Algiz asked again and the time his playful hand on Deon's head left.

            “Have. If you want me to take the time, I can ask my manager to clear my schedule.”

            Prok! Algiz clapped his hands with a big smile. “Very good!”

            Deon furrowed his brows feeling astonished. “What's good?? What do you really want, Algiz??”

            “Dating. I want a date with you.” Algiz spoke with a slightly embarrassed face.

            “Dating??” Deon was a little surprised by Algiz's request of him. “Why suddenly??”

            “I-it was about a week ago, I was trying to save a lot of victims in a lot of disasters and I saw some couples who were dating on their way. So ... I also want a date like them.”

            Deon froze to see Algiz. I forgot! This woman beside me was a hundred year old woman who had previously lived locked up in a village because of her obligations.

            “Ka-where are you going??” Despite his shock, Deon strives to make what Algiz wants.

            Algiz took out a long list he made and mentioned them one by one to Deon. “Playing parks, cinemas, restaurants, cafes .. “ Algiz keeps talking while mentioning famous tourist attractions in various countries.

            Th-that's too much! It could be that even a year would never be enough to visit those places!!, Deon cried out in his mind because Algiz still kept mentioning the names of the places he wanted to visit.
