2023-03-07 08:15:43The sound of laughter filled the narrow hallway. The yellow hallway lighting didn't help much, the light was so low that the hallway looked a little dark. Four tall boys walked in front, while the other two behind carried a boy who was looking down.
He looked distressed, his body full of bruises. Even the corners of his lips had dried blood. He didn't look okay, but the person behind kept kicking his legs when he tried to stop. He occasionally said he was tired, but no one paid any attention. Everyone just looked at him sarcastically with sickening laughter.They reached the school swimming pool, which was already very quiet. Wildan turned on the lights as Yezra sat on one of the chairs, and a few other boys stood right behind. Meanwhile Wahyu - the boy with the bruise stood a little out of Yezra's reach. He looked scared as he cleaned his dirty school uniform.Yezra laughed happily at the sight of Wahyu, he started to walk towards Wahyu, but the boy walked backwards little by little. With one touch on the left shoulder, Wahyu stood still without daring to look at Yezra's frightening face. "Just play, it won't take long. It's been a while since you swam, right?"Wahyu did not dare to make a sound, but it made Yezra smile so wide while patting Wahyu's right cheek several times. He stood up straight, turned to his friends and said, "Let's go swimming!""Great!" exclaimed Wildan. He was the most excited to take off his school shirt before entering the pool.Then Dodit, Ricky, and Andre followed Wildan's orders from inside the pool. They were having fun, looking like high school kids who had never sinned against anyone else.Yezra sat back in his place, and Wahyu was now standing right beside Yezra's left with anxiety. He didn't know what else would happen, he was very worried that these people would throw a tantrum that would make him even more tormented.It felt like leaving this place, but Wahyu couldn't do much except obey. The slightest mistake would make him get another beating along with even worse insults. Wahyu swallowed while holding back, not wanting to torture him already fragile body."Wahyu, let's play!" Ricky shouted, giving a smile so wide that his teeth were clearly visible.Wahyu shook his head in response."It's okay, we'll play fair." Ricky walked over to Revelation, pulling on the boy's arm until they were completely in the water. Luckily Wahyu didn't drown earlier.The other four boys were playing with loud laughter, but Wahyu stayed where he was. He just watched until one of them pulled Revelation towards the deepest part.Wahyu had shouted not to go there, but his strength was too great. He couldn't take a breath now, couldn't swim to the surface. Everyone left for the surface, but Ricky returned. He pulled Revelation's arm until the boy could take a big breath."Are you okay?" asked Ricky worriedly.Wahyu shook his head, touching the lip of the pool with a red face."Come on, let's play again!" Wildan forced Wahyu, who really didn't want to go underwater.Wildan pulled Wahyu to the bottom, they stared at each other for a long time until Wildan finally kicked Wahyu in the stomach. He left the boy in pain in the water, laughing guiltlessly before rising to the surface. All his friends were upstairs, but Ricky was still in the pool. He looked very worried."What are you doing in there?" Wildan shouted in annoyance."He's not surfacing," Ricky said."He'll be fine, never mind! He'll surface when it's time to take a breath, it's none of your business!""But...""Come on!" Yezra said quite loudly, and that made Ricky quickly get out of the water. He felt guilty, and feared that something unexpected might happen to them."What are you worried about a loser for?" Andre piped up now.Ricky just shook his head weakly as he picked up his school shirt that wasn't wet. "Poor guy.""Do you want to take Wahyu's place?" Yezra asked. He gave him a sharp look when Ricky turned to him.Of course Ricky shook his head and gave a wry smile. He quickly put on the shirt. "It's late, let's go home!"***The dark room made those eyes round so wide. The dream she had wasn't horrible, but Silva still wondered if the guy in the pool was alive or dead because there was no movement from the water. She didn't see that clearly."I'm dead."The heavy, sad-sounding voice made Silva turn her head, not expecting the spirit of a man standing by the window of her room. Giving a faint smile with water dripping down little by little. His face was passively pale, his skin showing many wounds that refused to disappear.Silva let out a faint sigh, she changed her sleeping position to sitting back. She pressed her lips together for a moment before looking back at the male ghost. "Who are you?""It's me, Wahyu. I was the one in your first dream, and you were the one who tried to save me in the pool earlier."Silva frowned, he didn't expect to have a dream about a ghost who didn't even ask her for help so soon. "First dream?""Yes, I think there will be a second dream later," Wahyu said, full of confidence. "I came to ask for help. Only you can sense my existence, and only you can help me." He began to kneel as he put his hands together. "I couldn't bear the pain all over my body, and I couldn't bear to breathe underwater. I repeated the scene many times without ever realizing it, but I realized when I was out of breath."Silva listened intently. The dark story made her feel sad, and she even remembered the incident where she drowned and was almost out of breath."I don't want to taste death many times, I want to go to the afterlife and get the punishment God wants. But not in a world like this, I really want to go home," Wahyu said again."I'll think about it, I still don't want to help anyone," Silva said. She lay back down and put on a blanket.While Wahyu was sad again, he did not expect it to be difficult to get help. It was not what he expected. "Sorry for disturbing your sleep, I take my leave."

The girl opened her eyes in surprise, her eyes so red with an expression of both shock and confusion. The familiar room made Silva let out a sigh of relief. She covered her face with both hands for a long time. The dream this time felt so real, she never imagined she would have such a terrible dream. It's just that Silva doesn't understand the scene of peeling the skin of her own hands, and the blood that comes out with a fairly long duration of time. Unlike the other dream, she dreamed with a stranger she recognized in the dream, and now forgot the guy's face. She never even remembered having a friend named Chandra, or a former lover. "Silva, are you okay?" A noisy voice sounding very worried came as the curtains were rudely drawn. Tama sat in the visitor's chair by the bed, his face looking pale, but Silva had an even paler face with cold sweat on her temples. "I've never heard anyone being delirious with screams, but this time I saw it."Silva's forehead knitted, not understand

"Honey, I need you to clean the kitchen while I clean the front yard. If there's anything, you can shout to call me or you can call me!" Chandra said, and Silva nodded in response. The tall man with cropped hair walked out of the living room. He went to the front yard, which was really dirty, with lots of grass, and dry leaves that he hadn't burned this morning. The atmosphere of the mansion felt strange to Silva, but there were no strange thoughts in her head. She chose to get up from the sofa, walking towards the kitchen which was not too far from the living room. It was at the back, a fairly large, long room. There were two wooden cabinets that looked old, still used to store a lot of cutlery, and plastic food storage boxes. The glass cabinets were used to store cooked food, and cutlery that was about to be used. Silva watched the large room for a few minutes. She never understood why people made kitchens bigger than rooms, and why kitchens looked dirtier than other rooms. It w

The girl walked with a sense of turmoil, the uneasy feeling lingering until she stepped foot in the school. She felt annoyed at herself for not setting an alarm last night, and went to bed immediately after turning off the television. Tengku had done the same, even the man himself had told Silva to clean up the mess they had made in the morning. Breathing in slowly, her attention turned to the scene to the right, but the figure beside her startled Silva greatly. Fortunately, she did not scream, but the man burst out laughing. Tama had always been the most annoying person after Resa. "Good morning, Silva," Tama said, his laughter stopping as soon as he looked straight ahead again. "Did you stay up so late last night that you have bags under your eyes?""Yes, I woke up at noon, and mom scolded me.""Was it because you were chatting with Resa that you forgot to sleep?""Oh my gosh, why are you saying things that are unpleasant to hear? Of course it's not like that, I was watching the s

The door opened slowly, revealing a tall man in black pajamas rubbing his right eye slowly. The darkness of the room made him yawn before finally taking a slow step after closing the door again. The noise in the other room made Tengku frown as he poured water from the teapot into a glass cup. He quickly gulped down the mineral water to keep his throat from feeling dry. Tengku stepped out of the kitchen, a slow but steady pace that he reserved for the noise that intrigued and intrigued him. Tengku stopped his steps at the doorway of the hallway of his house, now he saw Silva bending over while hugging various snacks with a surprised expression. Of course Tengku was surprised too, what with tonight's TV program. "Why didn't you tell Dad before?" said Tengku quite annoyed, and started to walk over. Silva patted, and again the milk box she had just picked up fell over. She quickly left, and sat down next to Tengku. She put all the food away on the table before finally settling down to

Taking sports scores as a plus for next month's written exam made Silva sigh heavily. She stood leaning against the wall of the gymnasium, today it was tennis that almost all the students in the class chose, while the other option was basketball. However, unfortunately many chose tennis just because it felt the same as playing badminton. Adi's voice echoed through the room only to call out to Silvana who had been daydreaming in place. The girl was stunned, and quickly went to her place after receiving the racket. Silva held her breath with a surprised expression when she saw Tono standing across as her opponent this time. This was like a nightmare for Silva, as Tono was not an even match for her.Tono was one of the smartest students in sports, especially basketball and volleyball. He was good at tennis, but the few times he participated in tennis competitions he never won, not even the runner-up. Even so he was the best for this sport after Zikra. "Just relax, Silva!" Tono said wit

"So... where is it?" "I don't know either, it's all full of weeds," replied an equally confused Resa. Both of them were still standing at the threshold of the tomb gate. The view in front of them was only weeds as tall as an adult's elbow, the tombstones were not clearly visible from a distance. The tombs here were not taken care of as they should be, but Resa thought they were not taken care of because no one paid someone specifically for that. As in other places, there must be a caretaker to clean all the graves, and guard the graves against thieves. There are rumors about the theft of pocong ropes, grave land, the bodies of virgins who have just died, and tombstones are often stolen because they are said to be sold at high prices, but for other stolen items, they are used as tools in order to gain power from magic. Many people want to live forever with unquantifiable wealth.Resa sighed heavily before finally looking at Silva who was still busy with her own thoughts beside Resa.
