"Do you want to go out?" I'm calling Renata, tonight is Sunday night, the usual ritual for young people is to invite their crush or girlfriend on a date."Hm... Can you do that, where are we going? Just the two of you or together?""Just the two of you, just go around and have a snack,""Yes, I want to,""Seven o'clock,""Okay sis,""Okay, I'll continue with the other friends, bye,"I hung up."Do you want to walk Ric or Renata?" asked Zero who was reading a magazine in the corner of Doan's room."Yeah, I need refreshing, I'm walking with a girl normally, aren't you guys going out tonight?" I asked."I'm still just eating Erika, I don't know if it's the two humans," answered Doan while pointing at Zero and Irvan."Me huh? I'm just accompanying Irvan, it's the same as yesterday, I don't know why, I've lost the feeling, after all, he's also in Malaysia, I don't think I can and I don't feel comfortable following his lifestyle, especially since he's always busy, from a young age. I've bee
“After this, maybe three days later I just contacted Axton, so we will now go to three days after this,” Leo's ghost told me.“Wait, what were you doing for three days? Crying over your ex?” I asked Leo, his face looking dumbfounded as if he didn't want to answer my question.“Why do we have to talk about my story, just focus on seeing the past between Axton and me,” Leo's ghost stammered.“Haha, gosh, you regret that much about your relationship??!!!” I let out a laugh at Leo, he seems a little annoyed."You just don't feel love, it's natural that I feel sad or lost, our relationship has been going on for more than a year, it had to end just because that ridiculous thing was an insult to me, I didn't cry, it's just that I spent three days playing PS in my room all day,” said Leo's ghost."Okay okay, I'm sorry, I was just laughing at you, okay now where are we going?" I asked Leo's ghost.Leo without answering anything directly touched my body and we were in the same place only at a d
"Hehe, yes, Sis, no one said you are apathetic, it's just that humans have their own busy lives, I happen to know some of the neighbors around because I often hear Mama and Papa talk," Axton said, smiling at Leo.Axton's face is so cute, it means that we are now in 2003 and Axton is only in the first year of high school.“Ah, okay, by the way, where are you going, Chel?” Leo asked."I want to go home, today at school there is an urgent meeting, so the students were sent home early, I happened to be buying monthly supplies from the minimarket, Sis, where are you going yourself? It looks like you're feeling down, it's obvious from his face,” Axton said, her eyes glaring at Leo very warmly."She's good at making you feel good," I said to Leo ghost, we could feel Axton's aura so strong in this story."You're right, I'm really gloomy. I also don't know where to go, I'm just walking, life will be hard when you're faced with problems and don't know where to go, it feels like I just want to g
Two days passed just like that, nothing strange and disturbing happened. Slowly the calm came to me. This is the third day we sleep at my house. The aura that used to be spooky is now back to normal, the room I've always longed for can also be reused as the most comfortable place. Even during the day, my three best friends came home and I dared to live alone in this house.It is now nine o'clock in the morning, my three friends have just returned to their respective homes, I am relaxing on the sofa in front of the television enjoying the morning sun that enters through the ventilation and windows. Ah, it's so delicious, it's something I really miss.I closed my eyes, this sunlight feels like it reaches my heart, so warm. The last two days, Renata has been acting strangely, in the sense that she seems to be a little more modest than usual, I don't know since her question that night, she is no longer as cheerful as yesterday when she called me. There must have been one or two pessimisti
Me and my three friends nodded, we then followed them from behind to the kitchen. Renata seemed to be smiling broadly at me, she was very satisfied, it seemed that she heard the explanation and plan that was finally approved by her parents.Dinner was over, we were served a lot of menus from seafood ingredients. After being full and talking a little about light things, we sat back down in front, this time only Renata and her papa joined us, Renata's mother was getting a call from her co-worker."So according to uncle, on Monday afternoon it's better after you come home from school, come here immediately, we gather together to leave in the evening, we also leave together with the police who of course will call you later, according to what Robert wanted to explain earlier means on that monday we have to go visit Axton to the social home where she is being cared for right? Until Fredgie follows us and we finally stop in an open field with the pentagram we've drawn, the problem is, do you
The next day I woke up earlier than my two best friends, I woke up exactly at seven in the morning, I sat between them and took my cellphone which was on the table next to the bed. I opened the message and sent a text to Renata.'There are some things I already know about this book, maybe we can meet to discuss them, if necessary with your parents too, because this is quite long and complicated to explain'Last night I slept peacefully, there were no disturbances in my dreams, I am very grateful, I just needed one night to really calm down after facing the turmoil of my heart that drained my energy all day.My cellphone rang, there seemed to be a reply from Renata, I immediately opened the incoming message.'Oh yes? If you are serious, you can come to my house tomorrow, because today we are going to Bogor, I will tell mama and papa' he replied.'Okay, just let me know when you guys are home and also set the right time so I can visit' I replied.I lay down again between my two friends
Suddenly someone tapped my shoulders, when I turned around it was Renata and Axton, I immediately stood up and faced them. They both cried and pulled my arms to follow them, Axton pulled me to the right side, while Renata to the left, I started to release my hands from their tugs, my hands hurt. They kept forcing me to follow them, Renata was wearing a red dress while Axton was wearing a black dress, both of them were crying and begging me to go where they asked. For some reason, suddenly the force that Axton gave me was so strong that I was finally pulled towards Axton, and when I saw Renata screaming hystRobertally and immediately fell and then her legs were pulled by the black cloak that carried her into the tunnel on the left side, I tried to chase but the tunnel was suddenly covered by black clouds, I screamed hystRobertally.I sat in the middle of the floor, lamenting the fate of Renata who I don't know where she went, suddenly Axton's scream echoed in the room, I turned to Axto
I opened my door and we entered the house. The scary atmosphere is undeniable, the feeling that my house used to be light was not this minimal, the air was also humid."Let's just go to your room," said Doan, he glanced at me with a slightly panicked expression."Be patient, I want to see the bottom first and then we'll go upstairs, just turn on the tv so it's not quiet, it's because I haven't cleaned it for a long time, so it's a bit scary like this," I said, I then walked over to the television to turn it on."Look for Ric's cake music program, I'm tired when I hear the news," said Doan, sitting on the sofa in front of the television."Yeah, I also don't feel like listening to news with strange content," I said, after getting my music channel, I headed to the kitchen to get a broom."Do you want us to help?" Irvan asked me."You don't have to, just watch it, it's okay, I'm also just sweeping for a while, just removing the dust," I said.When I come home like this, I really miss my p
"Well, that's really fitting," added Doan.I thought for a moment, "Hm.. 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. At that time, Axton was alone in her room.Suddenly a black cloaked creature appeared in front of Axton, it bent towards Axton's face and blew something into her mouth.Axton's hands moved and tried to strangle herself, Axton's face started to turn red, she was having trouble breathing because of those hands. The figure then pulled Axton's tongue which was starting t
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, let's eat your breakfast first," said the caretaker.Axton woke up from her sleep, she looked around, the psychiatrist who had accompanied her all night had gone home, now she was with the nursing home staff."Thank you ma'am," he said."Are you okay if you're left alone?" he asked."No, ma'am, I'm feeling better, I can be alone," Axton said."Okay then, don't forget to eat breakfast and your medicine, okay, Anya's doctor will come and accompany you again in an hour," said the officer.Axton nodded, she then lay back down on her bed, her gaze looking far away, she must have been thinking about all that again,"How long have I been here ma'am?" 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
"I know it will be something very hard for you, but as much as possible I hope you are wise and slowly to release all the shadows of him that are inside you, remember we have all come this far, don't let you fall again the same him, we don't know what will happen in the future, who knows he will hold grudges and want to avenge everything that has happened, "said Doan.I looked down, "Yeah, I'm also trying really hard not to think about him.""Erika just panicked when she found out we were there, she was crying asking us to come back, too many people would cry if everything was repeated for the second time, Fredgie is still alive even though in prison, we don't know what kind of knowledge he has, "said Doan."I understand, thank you again for accompanying me until this moment, I really have no more words, you are all my best friends," I said."That's the importance of friends, we will not leave you when you are in trouble," said Doan, he held my shoulder.We then sat down and stared at
"WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT HA, WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BROTHER WITH YOU! ROCK!!!!!!”"Don't involve them again, I have agreed to what you want, please let them all go," I said.“HAHAHAHA, Alright then I'll---“Suddenly, there were so many gunshots and footsteps, shouts from members guarding the upper door were also heard, I immediately turned to my brother, we just realized that one person was not taken, Mr. Fajar.Fredgie immediately ran to the exit, before he had time to go upstairs, a group of police came rushing in, apparently Fajar called the police and reported everything. In a moment, the police had surrounded the room.“HAND UP EVERYONE!!”"What is this?" asked Axton's mother so gently."We from the police received a report that here there is a practice of black magic that has claimed many victims," said the policeman while holding out his weapon.“Hahaha, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” Suddenly Axton's mother screamed, her shrill ear hurting and scary.“WHY DO ANYONE BREAK EV
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. My sister brought sponge and food for us, she put it on the
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. We had estimated that they might pass in fifteen or twenty minutes. Sur
"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
"Are you still old?" I sent the message to my sister.My sister replied, "No, in a minute".I can't wait for my brother to come, a long time, suddenly someone pulled the chair in front of me, Fredgie."You're Axton's friend right?" he said, "May I sit down?"I looked at him sharply, "I'm his girlfriend, just sit down" I said curtly.Fredgie smiled then pulled out a chair and sat across from me."Maybe you've seen me, I'm Axton's cousin, I happen to work here" he said.I nodded, "Don't you live in Bandung?""This is my parents' company, I only come here once a few days, to check work, I'm one of the leaders of this company, by the way what are you doing here?" he asked.Before I could answer, my brother came over."Loh, there is Mr. Fred, good afternoon sir" said my brother."Good afternoon too""Excuse me sir, do you know my sister?" my sister asked.Fredgie turned to me, “Oh this is your sister? I just know, he's my cousin's girlfriend, okay then, thank you Robert for talking, I'll e
