The Geek’s Chronicle (Part 1)

Eddy

An ordinary guy, Eddy was born to an average family in late 70’s. Grown up in a small village located in the northern countryside, his life is surrounded by the nature. Even though he has no problem hang out with his friends, Eddy prefer to spend his free time talking to the wind, listening to the sound of nature, enjoy it like the music of his life. He can spend hours watching a big, dark green scorpion in its own habitat. He treasure the shining armor, the strong flaws and the venomous sting at the end of its tails is an amazing art. Tracking a bird going out from the nest on the coconut tree and come back later with the food for the babies are the wonders of the nature. His life is full of wonderful experience with nature. It’s like having a national park with so many amazing creatures around him in the village.

This village is located along the hill on its eastern side. The villagers have their rubber plantation on the lower side of the hill and there are green woods on the higher side of the hill until the peak. There also paddy fields all around the village. From that we know that the villager’s main economic activities are farming and rubber tapping. Back in the 70’s, 80’s, and also 90’s, the nature has so much to offer to them. With some efforts, free fish from the river and ponds, fruits from the jungle, vegetables, herbs as well as the timber for building the house and barn, all are available to them. Like every other village’s culture, the villagers live as one big family. They are together extending helping hands in every activity such as building a house, organizing wedding ceremony and etc.

Having an elder brother, an elder sister, a younger brother and a younger sister and both of his parents are still around, he considered himself as the most fortunate guy. However, like the sitcom ‘Malcom in the Middle’, being in the middle between four siblings doesn’t promise enough love and attention for Eddy. He is too young to hang out with the elder brother and his friend. And Eddy is not the type who can get along with girls activity to join his elder sister. His younger brother is still too young and close to his younger sister. The parent is too busy sweating their muscles to feed the family. Eddy love to spend his free time, being in his own world, the fantasy world and accompanied by his surrounding.

The girl next door

There is a girl live next door. She is few years younger than Eddy. There is something about this girl that Eddy really admires. She has big round eyes, small cute little nose, sweet refreshing lips and the killing smiles. Eddy doesn’t really bother about the look of this girl but his heart melt because of the beauty inside this girl that he really likes. Being inward and shy, Eddy keep this feeling for this girl to him only. He created his own version of this dream girl into his fantasy world. A girl with full of love devoted to him with no chance of being hurt, a perfect love in a fairy tale, his fantasy.

In reality, seeing her smiles can really make his day. A few words with her, his like flying, accidentally touch her is a mind blowing experience. It is the happiest phase in any love relationship where everything is perfect.

Will this dream come true? Only time can tell.
