POV: AXTON

“Robert… Robert…” Axton's voice was low in her sobs, her face was pale and her body was getting thinner.

“Ugh!!” Axton suddenly looked up, her eyes that had looked droopy were now shining now she was closed facing to the left.

Moments later, Axton's thin body was sprawled toward the ceiling, and her previously closed eyes opened with a sharp half-glaring gaze, a sly smile adorning her face.

POV: ROBERT

We finally arrived at Renata's house, I called her to tell her that we were right in front of her fence. Not long to wait, the high fence slowly opened, Irvan immediately drove the car into Renata's yard.

Renata was already standing in front of the terrace of her house, she looked neat in a white dress, for some reason it turned out to be like a proposal. I was a little awkward to see Renata, she was very beautiful tonight, the dress matched her skin very well.

    "Axton is actually very interesting, in terms of films, she is a brave and different type of girl, I only like things that smell like ghosts, if I watched the SAW movie, I wouldn't be as brave as Axton," he said last night. I'm so wrong, why is he even talking like that? I then shifted our conversation to something else, as much as possible I filtered my words so that he would no longer compare himself to Axton.You could say now the jealousy in Renata's heart has grown bigger since our conversation about Axton the night I came to her house. I understand, but he doesn't always have to talk about it, right?I opened my eyes slowly and suddenly.“BAA!” Leo surprised me by suddenly appearing in front of me."AHHH!!!!!!!!!!

    People around us were passing by and were able to penetrate our bodies."Huh, I'm not dead am I?" I asked Leo, I was a little worried because my body is the same as his, equally impenetrable to humans."Of course not, you just went back to the time Axton and I first met, we are now in Semarang, you can see on the other side there is a young man who is confused because his girlfriend has just dumped him, Ew, why does my face look like that?" stupid?!" Leo protested with an angry face.I looked across the road that he was pointing at, ah it seemed from a distance that the figure of the man in the blue shirt was Leo, he looked down and languidly sitting on the bench by the roadside.Leo suddenly grabbed my hand and we immediately shifted position to where his living figure was sitting."Why do you look sad?"

    "Why are you being so awkward, like someone who's close to a woman for the first time," I said to Leo's ghost."I don't know, I just broke up and suddenly I was invited to drink fruit soup with a sweet high school girl like Axton, of course I would be embarrassed. You act like you're not just like that," protested Leo's ghost."I've never been shy like that, when I first went on a date with Axton I didn't show any stiff gestures like you," I replied.Leo ghost looked at me with cynical eyes, he looked annoyed. We refocused to pay attention to Rcahel and Leo who were still silent with each other."Um.. what grade are you in?" Leo asked Axton, he seemed to be just making small talk because he couldn't stand the constant eye contact with Axton."Class 1 of high school, brother, brother alone semester?" Axton asked Leo back."I'm in my final semester, in four months I will also graduate, that means you just entered high school, right?" Leo asked."Yes, Sis, just now, I've only moved to Se

I asked Leo's ghost."No, maybe you just need to walk 7-10 minutes," said Leo's ghost.Suddenly Leo's ghost sat where he was and sipped the leftover fruit soup."Ah, it's so good, I haven't felt like this in a long time," said Leo's ghost, I just grimaced at the strange behavior of this ghost.He then walked out of the shop and said, "Come on, let's just walk with them, tired of just moving around, all the nostalgia with this area, I miss it."We began to walk down the road to the house when he lived.

    While we were now on the road leading to an alley, it looked like we were almost at Axton and Leo's house.Leo's ghost stopped, I approached him, he was stunned at a large, dark brown multi-storey house."We've arrived, it's Axton's house." Leo pointed at the big house."So where's your house next to?" I asked, looking in the direction he was pointing."The orange one, you can imagine from a sudden light color directly to a dark color, what a contrasting difference, as well as the life that happens in the two houses, haha, let's approach them," said Leo, he then returned hovered over Leo and Axton.I quickened my pace, until we finally stopped at a large tree across from their house, the two of them seemed to be going their separate ways into their respective homes."Finally arrived, here are your groceries," Leo said, he handed it to Axton."Thank you, sis, sorry for bothering you, I'm sorry your hands are so heavy carrying my shopping," Axton said."No problem, oh, hm... can I have

Okay.""Well then, I'll ask Erika where is the address of the social institution where Axton is now," said Doan.I sat on the edge of the bed, I still couldn't understand it, how did the paper reappear, is this really an old chapter that hasn't ended yet?"I've asked Erika, just waiting for her reply," said Doan."Okay," I replied.POV: AXTONAxton was asleep, but suddenly her eyes opened and turned white, her mouth opened and said something, I don't know what she said, because only the movement of her lips was visible and her voice did not come out.

    I chose to sleep on the floor, because the weather was very hot. I took off my clothes, only wearing a white singlet shirt and cartoon prints, I lay hot on the floor.I tried to close my eyes that were already sleepy, but every time I closed them, the image was always there, as if calling me to come see her. Axton, yes that image is of course Axton's shadow, every time I fall asleep she always comes wearing a white or black dress sitting on a long bench with a blank stare, I don't know why I can see such an illusion, whether it's a sign or just my longing that turned into a pseudo imagination in the brain."Do I really have to call him?" I mumbled to myself, I hate it when I want to sleep, I have to feel like this. Doan had caught up with Irvan, they were both really sleeping soundly. While I'm still struggling with thoughts that I don't really know what to do. I really want to go see him, but honestly there is a sense of trauma in my heart, I'm also confused why I can be fickle like

Axton asked."Until you are deemed to have recovered enough and the police officers have finished collecting information," said the officer."I'm also confused after this where to go and how," Axton said, her eyes widening."You don't need to think about it now, the most important thing is that you have to be able to recover all your tra

    Suddenly the faces of the three of them became panicked, we looked at each other and then we hugged, to be honest we are only seventeen year olds who have no experience in dealing with supernatural things like this. Five minutes later, the knock reappeared. This time the knocking was repeated until the doorknob was played. We started screaming in fear. In the midst of that fear, my sister called."Hello kaaak!"“OPEN DOWN!” I immediately stopped whining and looked at my three best friends, then stood up and headed for the door. I slowly opened it while closing my eyes and what appeared this time was my sister, Nofi and Riko."Gosh, what are you guys doing," my sister said."Earlier before you, someone was knocking too but when I opened it there was no one, that's why we were scared," I said."Come on, maybe this hotel guard, the important thing today is that nothing strange happened, right?" my sister asked.I shook my head.

    After discussing and convincing me, we decided to follow their car, Kak Nofi's house is a highway that is always used when we go to Puncak, we can easily wait for them on the side of the road and follow them.Two more hours to seven, we each showered and got ready to leave. We borrowed Nofi's clothes, I asked my friends to tell her parents that they might come home late or not even come and stay with me. After getting ready we left Nofi's house to a restaurant on the side of the road, we would eat and wait for them to pass there. Hopefully what we have planned does not fail, hopefully there is a clue that can lead me to the gate of escape from all this tense things.It's seven o'clock, we're all in the car, Axton still hasn't texted. Five minutes later, Axton texted me, saying they had started walking. We started to square off, our car parked facing the street, I sat in the front seat so I could see Fredgie's car.

    "I'm sorry, Robert, I can't do anything," he said.“You don't have to do anything, you just need to stay with me and deal with this,” I said soothing Axton.Axton cried for a long time, we understand very well how shaken Axton's soul is if she has to keep witnessing this terrible event.My eyes fell on a car parked across the park, it was Fredgie's car. I calmed Axton down and told her that Fredgie's car was there.We immediately hid as much as possible among the bushes nearby. A few minutes passed, Fredgie came walking towards the car, he was on the phone, it was not clear where he had come from. Fredgie then left.We decided to go home, afraid that Fredgie would pretend to spy on us. I escorted Axton to the front of the market, she then walked towards the house. Her eyes are still red, I ask her not to cry anymore, and call me if something dangerous happens.Me and my three friends headed to my house, as planned today we will go to visit sister Nofi's neighbor, Nofi's house is appro
