Final-term: Make a short story

BHUMI

I remembered a legendary story which told by Sawarga about this place. The ground that I stepped on has a tragic story behind it. Sawarga told me that a long time ago there lived a girl named Parama with her lovely cat named Bawana. They lived happily and always shared food together. Parama was the only thing that Bawana has, and vice versa. It was on this beach that they often spent time together until that unexpected day came. The day that is remembered by everyone and even became common knowledge for residents here that on that day, a devastating earthquake had occurred. Parama and Bawana became victims of nature's rampage. Unfortunately, Parama did not survive like Bawana. People began to notice when they saw a cat that never left one grave of the earthquake victims, the cat only left when she was looking for food and then came back and divided the food with the grave.Until the cat died beside the grave. Sawarga told me that she really liked the legend even though she sobbed the first time she heard the story because she imagined it was  me and her in the position of Parama and Bawana. Sawarga said that she loved me the way Parama loved Bawana. "You are my best friend" she adds which I would never forget.

"Bhumiiii, I'm home"

I immediately turned around and greeted her, "meow .. meow .."

Sawarga caught me and took me in her arms, "You've been waiting long, haven't you?"

I could only replied with "meow.. meow.." and Sawarga laughed as if she understood what I was saying.

Just like the usual evening, I would be at this beach waiting for Sawarga to return from school then we would go home together. And it will always be like this.

Ten o'clock at night was the time for me and Sawarga to slept. Mother made sure that Sawarga and I were in the room before she entered the room too. But unlike usual, Sawarga opened her cell phone and made a call with a man whose voice I could faintly hear.

"So, are you coming tomorrow?" said a male voice on the other side.
