Chapter 04 | Dark World

The size of Dyra's house is spacious, which only fills a few people, making him always feel lonely. Being an only child is the dream of most people, even though they always complain because they live alone.

During the sixteen years in this world, Dyra did not have many friends. This is because he does not easily get along with friends at school.

After school, the girl used to close her eyes for a while. Until he was carried away by the flow of dreams that took him to another world.

In his dream he has many friends even more than ten people give him glasses of various shapes. They opened their arms to each other, holding them tightly.

Dyra woke up again, breaking the dream that had stopped for a while. As soon as his gaze shifted to the bedside table, his eyes caught a pair of medium-sized sunglasses.

"Glasses?" Dyra grabbed it, occasionally flipping through the glasses.

"The glasses are black, if we wear it will our eyesight be the same as dark?" he asked quietly.

Due to his growing curiosity, Dyra tried to wear the glasses. However, his vision was not as expected. He saw no darkness, brightly exposed the faces of many people.

Some of them even gave Dyra a smile as sweet as sugar. His presence seemed to be welcomed.

"Hello," said a girl with long hair, which she let loose, greeted Dyra in a friendly manner.

"Hello too. I'm Dyra." The girl waved.

"Nice to meet you," said a pale-faced man holding out his hand, intending to get acquainted with Dyra. "I'm Leo."

Dyra's eyes stung as if there were grains of dust that had entered them. The girl opened her glasses for a moment, the people who had been in front of her eyes disappeared without leaving a trace.

His sharp eyes scanned every corner of the room, but no one was there to talk to him or smile.

After he felt his eyes getting better again, he put the glasses back on. Look at the faces of people who have just met him right in front of him.

Suddenly Dyra was surprised by the strangeness of the glasses he met. He continued to wear it just to see the condition he now saw.

"Did you guys disappear?" Dyra asked two people he had just met.

"We didn't disappear." They both shook their heads at the same time.

Not only did the two of them appear to exist, but there were many more that he saw that filled the space. They were jostling each other, Dyra almost fainted because he saw ants swarming.

"Where am I actually?" she asked finally.

"Dark world." The man beside him answered calmly.

Dyra's eyes widened, not understanding what the man meant. He glared at the two of them in turn.

The long-haired girl smiled, causing a loud giggling sound to turn the atmosphere into goosebumps.

"You are in the dark world, Dyra."

"W-what do you mean? The dark world how?"

The man and girl next to him laughed and laughed, Dyra grimaced to himself seeing his two new friends whom he had met for a while.

"Only people who have lost their bodies can enter the dark world." One of them explained, Dyra digested his words slowly.

The information he received was not satisfied. He wanted to continue to dig up everything about the dark world they spoke of.

"So... you guys are just spirits?" asked Dyra to confirm his guess.

The two looked at each other, but after a moment looked back at Dyra. They nodded firmly with sad faces. No more smiles like before.

"Why are you guys?"

"We both miss the world of light." The girl with the name Lita combed her long hair with her fingers.

Dara furrowed her brows in confusion. "Light world?"

"The world when we had bodies."

Dyra straightened those words, they really missed when he became a human. Now that they were separated from his body, only his spirit was playing and joking.

"Why are you guys here?" Dyra asked, examining the dark times of the two.

"I fell from a height, Dyra." Leo lowered his head deeply, there was a lot of sadness he was hiding.

"I was run over by a big truck carrying rocks," said Lita, her eyes starting to tear up. The girl repeatedly wiped the tears that started to fall.

Dyra's heart was touched upon hearing their tragic story. Can't imagine how the two of them went through all that.

"I left my family and loved ones behind. It wasn't easy for me to let go." Lita sobbed remembering her bittersweet story.

"I left all my family and my lover." Leo also spoke about himself.

Dyra is also sad to hear their sad story it's sad. What if the story was in his place, he would also leave his family he loves so much.

"Then how about your own story, Dyra?" Lita asked, her sobs starting to subside.

Dyra was confused herself when she got a question like that. Because he was different from the two, his spirit and body were still intact together. The dark world has not become his foothold, he is just a stop. No, rather she didn't know how she got there.

Through the sunglasses everything becomes visible. Several people who were in fact just spirits he glared at him, combing around observing their behavior.

"I haven't had a story like yours, Lita, Leo."

The two looked at each other, their brows furrowed in confusion. A smile Dyra threw at them.

"How can you not have a story, Dyra?" Leo asked.

Dara nodded slowly. "Because my body is still united with my spirit."

"How could that be, Dyra?"

"I don't know. I don't even understand now why I can see all of you."

His eyes again combed around, many people appeared in front of his eyes. Everyone from all walks of life was there. Not only young, old and even children gathered together.

Dyra now understands where he is and with whom he views. After he felt satisfied to understand the dark world he visited.

Now, it's time for Dyra to return to the real world. A place to live, gather with loved ones, continue the story that smells of romance and is beautifully created.

"Are you going back to your original world, Dyra?" Lita asked, both of them teary up maybe because they were moved.

"I'll be back, Lita, Leo. Because the dark world is not my place."

"You are now our friend, Dyra. I don't want you to just leave." Lita looked at Dyra with a pitiful face.

"You are my friends, but our worlds are different, our worlds are not the same, and we shouldn't be together forever." She pursed her lips up into a smile.

He also felt sad because he had to part with his two friends in another world. However, they couldn't stay together.

She closed her eyes, at the same time tears fell. Slowly, he opened his eyes. The real world of life again appeared in front of him.
