2023-03-08 12:42:20The sunlight creeps in slowly, touching every strand of hair, eyebrows, and now the rays are touching the eyes of the boy who is sleeping soundly. Both eyebrows furrowed in discomfort from the sunlight.
Resa opened his eyes, and was surprised to find Tere sitting beside the bed with a flat stare. It was surprising because it happened suddenly, and Resa had never thought about the strange behavior of the female ghost.His sleeping position changed to sitting when Tere chose to sit on the edge of the bed. The female ghost's face didn't look good, but it didn't look bad either, and Resa felt confused about it. He tried to gather herself first, folding the thin warm blanket quickly."What are you doing here?" Resa asked finally. He looked at Tere intently, as if searching for the real reason for the expression on the ghost's face. "And where have you been all this time, Tere?""Silva's house.""What? How come?" Resa was very surprised for him latest news this morning."I didn't do anything in your room, Resa. I was just sitting here trying to wake you up, but you only woke up because of the sunlight. The answer to the third question is that I followed Silva, and found out where she lives, who she's with and what she does at home.""Wow! You're crazy," Resa said shaking his head quickly. He never thought that Tere could do crazy things, but if he thought back it seemed strange. Tere had never done strange things like this before, and now she was doing it just because she wanted to go home with Silva's help. Quite suspicious."She didn't do anything for two days, but she got the mission through a dream. She can do things you can't, Resa." Tere turned her attention to the floor tiles, she was so serious with an added expression of amazement for Silva's prowess. "She's very cool, but unfortunately she's not as smart as you. She's too stupid, she should be smarter if she has that much power. I'm a little annoyed, but it comes back to my mission that needs to be completed.""She didn't do anything, but was able to get a dream?"Tere nodded, she recalled the unexpected events of that time. A quiet night with a dark room, she could only hide on top of the closet while watching Silva's activities with boredom that had peaked, even feeling like vomiting. Silva studied too much, ate, drank milk, and then slept. There was nothing interesting until another ghost came with water dripping from his clothes.The figure didn't look very tall, but his face looked miserable. He entered without opening the door, piercing through Silva's bedroom door without any guilt. The sad look in the eyes without pupils lasted for a long time. He ended up sitting on the floor, watching Silva with eyes that had become normal like any other human.Nothing was done for that long, and Tere was bored. Especially bored because she couldn't do anything right now, but she was also curious. "What did he do during that time?"For a long time the male ghost sat without doing anything, and now he chose to move. Sitting beside the bed, he could see Silva's beautiful face even more closely now. There was no smile in sight, but the different expression made Tere suspicious.Tere continued to watch silently, her curiosity making her unable to calm down. Fortunately the strange activity didn't take long, Silva woke up with a lot of sweat on her temples. Even she was surprised when she saw the male ghost, as if a nightmare had come and felt real."I don't understand the dream part, but it felt strange to me. I did the same thing when the male ghost left, but unfortunately nothing worked. The girl stayed asleep despite the occasional frown, probably having another nightmare," Tere told Resa. There was no longer any excitement in her face, she looked annoyed now."That's it?""Of course not," Tere said unhappily. "I was there for a long time, several days. After that incident, Silva seemed to have no appetite for anything. The male ghost was also always behind hervwithout being seen, and always sat on the edge of the bed without thinking about the water he was carrying. I don't know if there was a second dream, but Silva said she was willing to help after waking up in the middle of the night.""Why didn't she want to help in the first place?""Didn't you realize that the ghost was out to kill, Silva?"Resa was surprised, he hadn't thought that far ahead. It was just that she thought that there was a watcher in the pond, but not a ghost who wanted to ask for help. It was strange to think about, they could have come in a nice way, but this time it was in a creepy way."His face looks strange with that look, he always gives the same look when the girl is fast asleep. I don't know what his intentions are, but it's seriously quite strange. Very strange for me who has never done such a crazy thing.""You're right." Resa nodded his head while searching for the answer to Tere's question just now. The curiosity was starting to rise even though there was no courage to ask Silva directly. They had already met, but Resa felt bad."Do you often see them interact?""No, only a few times when the male ghost asked for help, Silva's refusal, and then Silva's willingness to help. There were no other explanations, no dark stories, and no unnecessary conversations. That's all."Resa turned his gaze to the window of the room, nothing special really. However, it felt good to think while looking that way. His brain felt like it was working."She will perform the ritual today."Resa turned his head quickly, his eyes rounded just like that. "How could it be so soon?""I don't know, but as usual she will perform the ritual when the school is quiet. Do you know where it is?""It can't be in the classroom, but if she went to the pond, would it be safe?"Tere shrugged her shoulders uncomprehendingly, she couldn't give an answer that might turn out to be a fatal mistake later in the afternoon. "What's in your head right now?""I think she performs the ritual when she gets disturbed in a place, and helps the spirit or ghost return home where the ghost is trapped. So the most appropriate decision today is to go meet Silva at the pond, I hope there are no additional tasks today.""Is your schedule always so tight? I always get annoyed whenever you come home late, students in the final year should get a lot of time off so they don't feel stressed," Tere said annoyed, and sad at the same time."Hahaha, you're right on that part, but unfortunately it won't happen. Third graders have to complete all the assignments, and all the exams before they graduate. I hope all my grades are satisfactory so I can go to college.""You're going to college then?" Tere looked at Resa with both eyebrows deeply knitted."Of course, I want to make Mom proud, and I want to realize all the dreams I've been saving. So what?"

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.
