Chapter 15: Reviving Memories
The next day, I woke in the bedrock with back pain. I didn't get much rest last night. I was still a little bit sleepy but I want to go out to meet Nala and Zainabu outside. I tried to find any available hyena to escort me but none of them were free at the moment. I was forced to stay in Pride Rock for the whole day, Scar went out for his morning patrol and left me with nothing to entertain me. What a great husband he is! I just went to the tip of Pride Rock and sat there, watching the view of the dying grasslands. The herds were already moving on and because of that, the lionesses were overhunting, which is destroying the balance of the circle of life. Damn it! These hyenas are main cause of these problems.
I am already suffering from depression, and it will get worse if this chaos continues. I continued to sit in the tip of the pride rock until I heard footsteps behind me. When I checked behind me, It was Nala heading towards my direction. She was holding something that looks metallic and had a color of blue and silver. It took me a while to find out what it was. My electric guitar! I haven't touched that instrument for years and now, it's right in front of me. It brings me so many memories of Mufasa. I miss him so much.
"I thought it would be a great idea to make you feel better with this," Nala said. "I never thought I will ever see this again. Thank you, Nala," I said to her. "You're welcome. I would like to hear you play music like you and Mufasa used to." She begged me. Well, I remember that she and… Simba likes to hear me and Mufasa sing and play with our Electric Guitars. I miss those days. I wish things could've ended differently. Anyway, I switch on my Electric Guitar and search through my list of unfinished songs. I picked up an unfinished song that has unique melodies and synths. I decided that I will finish this song right I was working on the song, and Nala just sat next to me, observing my knowledge of the Electric Guitar. When I finished arranging my sound patterns and samples, I worked on the lyrics.
What pops up to my head was the idea of moving on after feeling lost and missing the person you cared so much. I started revising the lyrics until I finished the final version.
"Well, let's see how the song will go," I said. I started singing while the song was playing.
Engel, English version by Rammstein:
The good and righteous on this earth. Becoming angels after death. You search the heaven wondering why. Why don't we see them in the sky?
But when the clouds all sleep at night. Up in the sky we're shining bright. We're so afraid and so alone
God knows I don't want to be an angle.
Behind the sunshine they reside. So far away and so apart. They must cling fiercely to the stars (full force). Or from the sky they'll fall apart
But when the clouds all sleep at night. Up in the sky we're shining bright. We're so afraid and so alone.
God knows I don't want to be an angel.
God knows I don't want to be an angel.
God knows I don't want to be an angel.
But when the clouds all sleep at night. Up in the sky we're shining bright. We're so afraid and so alone.
God knows I don't want to be an angel.
God knows I don't want to be an angel.
God knows I don't want to be an angel.
When I ended the song, I finally smiled for the first time. I look at Nala and I could see on her face that she is happy to see me smile again. I finally have a solace to keep me moving forward to a positive side.
"The was so amazing, Lana! The song is completely unique from other ones you previously made," Nala complimented me. "Thank you, Nala. I am happy you like it. This song did put a special place in my heart. It was dedicated to Mufasa. I miss him so much," I replied to her. "Yeah, me too," Nala said. Before I could say anything, I heard some hyenas approaching us. It was none other than the trio bastards: Shenzie, Banzai, and Ed.
"What do you three want?" I asked them. I swear if they are going to answer my question with some of their sick humor, I will rip their tongues out. "I was looking for Nala and deserves to know why she didn't hunt this morning," Shenzie answered my question with a serious tone. Not what I expected.
"Well, Nala was with me. I needed her to accompany me," I said to Shenzie. They gave me an annoyed look and left.
"Well, I should probably leave now. I don't want Scar to find out I came here without him knowing," Nala said. "Alright then, see you tomorrow and thanks for bringing my Electric Guitar for me," I responded. "All for a friend, Lana. See you tomorrow then," Nala said before making her way down the I was left alone in the Priderock but that didn't bother me. I have my Electric Guitar with me to keep me occupied from being bored. I decided that I should sing the same song again to have that feeling again. I was enjoying my time singing until my husband, Scar came back from his patrol. He was giving me an unamused look. He approaches me and I didn't look at him.
"Hello, Scar. How was the patrol?" I asked him, not making eye contact. "I heard that Nala was here," He said with an emotionless voice. "Yes. She was here. I just needed company." I responded. Scar was getting annoyed at me for not looking at him.
"LANA! LOOK AT ME WHEN I TALK TO YOU!" He roared at me. I was shocked at first when he yelled at me for the first time. He took a deep breath and exhaled. He looked at me again and apologized, "Forgive me for my outburst, I just had a bad morning today and Lana, whenever I talk to you, always look me in the eyes. Understood?" I weakly nodded and put my Electric Guitar aside. He continues to speak, "Also, when you bring visitors, always let me know. Come now, let us spend time together." He offered his paw to me. I was hesitant to take his paw but I'm more scared of punishment so I took his paw and I stood went to the flat-shaped rock and all of a sudden, I opened my mouth to ask him a question,
"Scar, can I go to the movies tomorrow? I really wanna see the new Black Adam movie that's coming out tomorrow." Scar turns to me and heavily glared at me. That is not a good sign. I regret asking that question. Scar grabbed me and pushed me off to the flat-shaped rock. I tried to get up but he already pinned me down, he was holding my arms with grip force.
"Don't you ever ask me to go out again! EVER!" He warned me with an angry tone. I was whimpering and crying from his outburst again. "This is the second time you pushed my nerves today, Lana. I should have you punished for that," he said this time with an evil smirk on his face. "I thought of a better one."
I was shaking in fear. I don't like where this is going.
