2023-02-22 12:33:08Resa searched for information by meeting people he knew at school. However, many did not understand the girl Resa was referring to, they all felt unfamiliar. Despite not finding any valid information, he did not give up on him efforts this time.
Resa chose to meet one of his friends who was known as the 'social butterfly' at school. They made an appointment during the second break, just in time for lunch in the always deserted cafeteria. Resa waited with two glasses of sweet iced tea that he had ordered."Sorry I'm late, there was a little problem in the teacher's office," Adam said as he sat right in front of Resa. He gave a friendly smile even though his face was as red as a tomato right now."Did you go running earlier?""Yes, why is that?""Your face." Resa pointed at her own face with his left hand. "It's red," Resa continued."Ah, you're right about that hahaha!" Adam drank his sweet iced tea after Resa signaled him not to get thirsty.The brown liquid in the glass had reduced quite a lot by now, and it felt good to see that. Resa felt very appreciated for the drink he had bought, the money he had spent would not be wasted now."Oh yeah, what did you want to ask, Resa?" Adam said finally."Do you know a girl who is quite tall, with long black hair, and a slightly round face. She has thick eyebrows, and lips that can be said to be thin, but not so thick," Resa explained with a frown as he herself was at a loss to describe Silva."Is she around our age?""No idea, I'm not sure about that. I've asked my other friends, but they don't know. They said they weren't familiar with the girl I'm referring to, and it looks like you'll know about this."Adam frowned now, he didn't think he recognized the girl Resa was talking about. However, it felt like he knew a girl he still didn't know who. Adam tried to remember all the people he knew, from the very popular ones to the ones that could be. "When did you see her?""Two days ago after school in class XI IPA4 if I'm not mistaken, I'm not really sure.""Ah, right!" Adam snapped his middle finger with his thumb just like that. Now he gave a big smile as if he knew Silva very well. "I don't know the girl, but I know who she is. She's very introverted, even our counseling teacher always calls her to talk to her."Resa began to understand why he felt so unfamiliar with Silva, and almost everyone didn't know the girl, even Tere. Tere liked to walk around the school during the day, and she never felt like she knew Silva. Never even felt the aura that she could feel when she met Resa.There were more and more questions in his head, but he couldn't get the answers today. Resa had to be patient again, but he wasn't sure if he would get an answer from Silva soon or not at all."So our counseling teacher knows that girl very well? You mean Mr. Tama, right?"Adam gave a very confident nod to his answer this time. "It looks like the girl you're referring to will never have any friends or maybe she's just not interested in making friends. Then what are your plans to find information about her if you don't know her?""I have unfinished business with her, and haven't started yet. I only know her once, and want to know what kind of person she is.""Hm, I see." Adam just nodded without thinking, he felt there was no harm in making new friends even though he was in the final year, and would be leaving school soon. "Do you know what her name is?""Not yet.""If I remember correctly, her name is Silva, you can ask Mr. Tama later. What she's like, why she's so secretive, and how to find a girl who doesn't look like that."****Resa stopped his steps right in front of the counseling office door. He looked at the tall door for a few minutes in thought, and then knocked slowly. A heavy voice sounded quite loud from inside, so Resa pushed the door open."Good afternoon, Mr. Tama," Resa said as he entered, and then closed the door quietly. He started to sit on the guest chair after getting the order from Tama."It's very unusual for you to see me, I usually don't even call you. What's wrong, Resa?"Resa chuckled as he scratched the back of her neck which wasn't itchy, he felt embarrassed now for coming when he needed something. "I heard from Adam that you know a girl named Silva, so I came here out of curiosity."Hearing Silva's name mentioned made Tama frown as he stopped his book-cutting activity. He looked at Resa for a long moment before finally saying, "You don't know Silva, but you want to know about her?""I have something to do with that girl, Sir. But unfortunately I don't know anything about her yet, and she also likes to disappear. I'm having trouble finding her in this big school."Tama nodded his head to confirm what Resa had just said. He felt very happy that someone was finally finding out about Silva, but also felt strange that it had happened so suddenly, and that he had to meet him first. "Why not just go straight to her class?"Right, Resa was confused now. Why would he go somewhere else when he already knew where Silva's class was? This was quite strange."But it's okay if I tell you a little bit. She's a girl doesn't talk much, but once she does, it sounds painful. She's your junior, and you can find her in the lower cafeteria every first break. The second break I don't know where she is because she's often not in class," Tama explained while clearly remembering Silva. "But she's also weird because she likes to come early."Resa just remembered about that, Tere also said the same thing two days ago. "Was there anything important that was done, Sir?""I don't know, but that time I saw her carrying a bouquet of flowers. I forget what the reason was, but it sounded so strange that I don't remember."This story made Resa even more curious about Silva, and what the girl was doing carrying a bouquet of flowers. Resa gave a smile at last, and then said, "Well sir, I think that's enough for the questions I have in my head. All your stories have answered that question, and I think it's time to meet Silva.""Okay, I support you wanting to be friends with him. It's a pity she doesn't have any friends, but please don't make her cry!""Haha, of course, Sir. Excuse me then, Mr. Tama." Resa left as soon as Tama gave his a smile along with a nod of the head. He walked away, but then his steps stopped when he saw the schedule of each class prominently displayed on the wall near the door. "Sir, can I take a picture of this schedule?"Tama turned his head when Resa looked at him, he was quite confused with Resa right now. However, he didn't want to think too much, and ended up just nodding in response. Meanwhile, Resa started taking pictures of Silva's class schedule, and then walked away while watching him phone screen to check what schedule Silva had today.

His hair was white, and the front was bald.Silva walked ahead of Adi - her sports teacher. She opened the glass door so wide that all of her classmates could enter without opening the door. The blue chair she saw was used immediately without waiting for Adi to give the order.The middle-aged man was standing by the pool with a red whistle ready in his left hand.

"Gym time?" Resa frowned as he read Silva's class schedule, him steps coming to a halt near another classroom window. He could see the lower field was deserted, the sun was hot. Resa thought for a moment before resuming him journey at a faster pace. The pool room was his destination, but again the crowded corridor confused him. People were coming from opposite directions with wet hair, and many girls were carrying their wet clothes with extra plastic bags. Silva was nowhere to be seen until the group disappeared into the classroom, and Resa ran towards the pool. The room was completely empty, but the water didn't seem calm enough for Resa to run and then rush inside. He didn't see anything unusual, just Silva with slow movements, and both eyes starting to close. He quickly grabbed the girl, and brought her to the surface. Silva looked drained, but thankfully there was no blue color on her face. Resa's worried look was evident as he laid Silva down on the cold floor tiles. "Silva,

The girl opened her eyes slowly. She saw a room with white walls and curtains that acted like a revolving door. Her attention focused on the man with her back to playing rubik's. Silva didn't know who it was, but the memory of her drowning made her sigh deeply. Silva touched the part of her head that felt a little painful, her energy dissipated until this moment. She didn't think an incident like that would make her look like someone who was seriously ill. Though it was only drowning, but near death, Silva recognized that part. "You're finally awake." Resa turned his head without putting the rubik in the desk drawer. He looked at Silva's pale face with mixed feelings, really worried until this moment. "Does anything hurt or do you need water because your throat feels dry?""Nothing, I feel fine now," Silva said as she tried to sit up without accepting any help from Resa. Resa waited and watched as Silva sat quietly and comfortably. "How did you drown, and no one came to your aid?"

Tere hid behind a sizable mango tree. Her attention was focused on the long-haired girl near the school gate. Since earlier, Tere, did not see the conversation between Silva and Supri. Both of them were silent, Silva seemed to be waiting for a pickup that was not sure when it would come, and Supri was busy listening to music from an old tape inside the security post. Waiting for Silva's movement, made Tere sigh irritably. She had been standing behind the tree for a long time, and the girl never got picked up. Even though they had waited for a long time, even the beautiful ghost's legs were aching now. However, Silva seemed fine until this moment. "When did that girl leave?" muttered Tere irritably. She felt like taking Silva home, but she didn't have enough strength to make herself human. Tere tried to be patient again, eliminating the annoyance that had been building up for so long in her heart for her own good. Fortunately it paid off, the car stopped in front of Silva, and the g

The 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 litt

The 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 any

Class was over so quickly, but unfortunately there was no order to go home. Third graders mostly choose to stay in class while chatting so that their heads don't feel heavy, there are so many burdens that the word 'stress' can be used now. Resa chose to move quickly after putting all his books in quietly, he started to get up, and walked away. The corridor was quiet, the schoolyard was quiet, and there were no sounds from anywhere. All the 3rd graders were so quiet that Resa thought that the other students were not in their respective classes."Resa?"The voice delayed him steps, not going up the stairs. He looked back with a heavy sigh. A middle-aged woman in full traditional dress ran over, she was carrying a stack of A4 papers in her right hand with a pen. "I'm very sorry to disturb your rest time, but I can't do this right now. I have an important meeting to attend right now, so I would like to ask you to take this stack of papers to the photocopy shop in front, please!" she sai

The school looked very quiet from the second floor balcony. There were no more people other than Silva, and the security guard at the security post. Sh quickly left the balcony for the school swimming pool room on the third floor. Along the way, the sound of her steps was loud, a rhythm that accompanied Silva as she walked. She pushed the glass door quite slowly, there was no one there. Not even the male ghost who appeared in her dream. Silva chose to sit by the lockers, she looked at the calm water of the pool. Her memory of the drowning incident made her grimace, quite painful for an introductory session between a human, and a ghost. And that had been his first time drowning, and almost dying from lack of breath. "Sorry." Revelation came out of the pool like a ghost in a movie, looking like a ghost that could fly. He was very wet with a pale face, and red eyes. It looked pitiful in Silva's eyes at the moment. Silva just looked at him silently, there was no sentence in her head t

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!"

"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.

"I just fell when I did the second lap," Tere said, her eyes red with puddles that couldn't come out like a normal human. "I didn't know that guy, but he was so mean to me. I hate my stupid self, but I'll still die if I don't comply.""I didn't mean to make you sad, I'm sorry.""It's okay, I really have to tell you this so you won't be curious. I don't mind if you give this story to Silva later.""Oh, about Silva. She and I will go to the tomb, and try to clean up the place so you can feel comfortable." Resa looked both sad and happy now. "I'm not sure if this part will work or not, but it seems like the chances of getting home are slim. You have to turn positive first, and Silva said white lilies should be placed on the grave every day.""Why white lilies? I prefer sunflowers.""I don't know either, but I'll buy sunflowers for you too. I'll buy so many that the grave looks beautiful, and smells good."Tere smiled while wiping her tears that would never fall. She was happy to hear Res

The tall boy dried his wet hair with a white towel while standing in front of the mirror. From there he could see a woman in a shabby school uniform standing in the doorway. Tere's facial expression looked so sad, and Resa gave a warm smile when he turned his head as if everything would be fine with that smile. Tere felt uncomfortable, but he had to be brave to do the apology ceremony this morning. He quickly approached, and then sat on the edge of Resa's bed with a lot of guilt. She didn't know what else to do, so ashamed of Silva who she had made cry last night. "Last night was so scary," Tere finally said. The silence that the woman's spirit broke made Resa pause, and he remembered Silva. That beautiful girl who endured all her fear just to help Tere, but ended up crying for so long that her eyes were swollen. "I didn't mean to do any of that, I really didn't have any intentions. I didn't realize that I'd end up negative, and it's obvious that I'll never be able to go home easi

Resa sighed deeply when he saw his house was so quiet. Guilt was clearly visible on his face, he came home at 12pm, and didn't give any news to the people at home. There was actually a sense of fear when he entered his house, but inevitably he had to face all the problems that existed, and listen to the scolding of his mother. It was okay for her to be naughty today, for the first time to be more precise. Previously, he never came home late, was always on time after school, and helped people at home do work that could be considered quite rough. Resa moved the curtains to cover the kitchen door, he saw Regina still busy in front of the stove to fry the donuts that had just finished rising perfectly. He smiled sweetly when Regina turned around, the little girl was happy to see Resa back home. "Where have you been?" asked Regina, moving from her spot to sit beside Resa now. "I had some sudden business earlier, I'm sorry I didn't give you any news. Where's mom?" Resa looked around the
