The Mediums Help

26

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 that she wanted to say at the moment.

"Do you really want to help me?" Wahyu asked uncertainly, but he wished he could go home. He chose to stay at the edge of the pool because his body kept leaking water, never drying out to be more precise. "I want to go home because I've been here too long. I have no grudge against anyone."

Silva swallowed, she knew all ghosts wanted to return to the afterlife. She knew they were bored in this suffocating world, but it was too hard to help the ghost that almost killed her yesterday.

"I never appear in front of the people who made me this way," Wahyu said again.

"Why?"

"Why?" Wahyu was surprised by Silva's question.

"Why did you want to kill me yesterday?"

Wahyu was so shocked that he didn't have the right words to say to Silva for a few minutes. "I'm sorry, for God's sake I never had such intentions. I wanted to ask you for help, but the method I used was wrong. I never thought it would be like that."

"You trust him?"

The heavy voice made Silva turn her head towards the exit, she saw the guy who helped her yesterday coming with an annoyed expression. However, Silva was surprised that the guy whose name he couldn't remember could see Revelation.

Silva moved as soon as the tall guy stood near her while staring at Revelation sharply. "You... can see him?"

"You still want to help the ghost that almost killed you?" Resa asked dislikingly. He was really upset with Wahyu after hearing the story from Tere this morning.

"I feel sorry for him, but how did you know about that?"

Resa sighed while touching the bridge of her nose to hold back his irritation. He never thought that the girl he helped yesterday would give such an excuse. He looked at Wahyu, and Silva in turn. Now Resa understood why Tere was upset with Silva, for being too stupid. "Are you serious? Silva, why don't you think about it one more time?"

"God gave me a special ability to help lost spirits, and I have to do that. I think it's a duty that must be done."

Meanwhile, Wahyu smiled happily for Silva's noble cause this time. "Thank you very much Silva, I am very grateful for that."

Seeing that smile made Resa squint his eyes even more. He still couldn't believe what he was seeing, but seeing Silva's unremarkable face confused him. He was confused by herself who was suddenly upset about other people's business. Whereas before, Resa really didn't like to interfere, but he didn't know why this time was different. He really didn't want Silva to help Revelation, for whatever reason.

Silva touched Resa's right shoulder when she noticed the boy was confused, and upset. She gave a faint smile as soon as they looked at each other. "You don't like helping spirits, do you?"

Resa just looked at Silva's eyes that were so big, and looked so happy. She had almost died yesterday, and probably would have really died if there had never been anyone to help her during that time. "Not for spirits who want to do evil."

"I apologize once again, it was my fatal mistake," Wahyu replied firmly, but it still sounded as if he felt very guilty. "I never intended to kill humans, I didn't lie."

"Your mistake is too big, and very difficult to forgive," Resa said.

"You're getting too carried away," Silva said. She gave Resa a quick look before approaching Revelation. "We start now, are you ready?"

Wahyu nodded in silent response.

"Here we go." Silva's eyes closed with her hands interlocked. She began to pray as usual, asking God for protection, and for help so that Wahyu could return home safely. Meeting his family before being punished in the afterlife was Silva's first request.

Resa just watched Silva silently. He had never met anyone who had the same abilities as him, and could help spirits return home. He thought Silva's power was far above his, and he had a lot to learn from the girl with the petite face.

Something luminous made Resa's eyebrows knit together, he was very surprised that the portal came so quickly. The color of the light was also different from what he usually saw.

"Goodbye," Silva said to Wahyu who was now transforming his body into a more handsome, well-groomed figure.

Wahyu gave a wave, and a bigger smile to Resa who also looked at him. "Thank you for your help, I'm very happy now. Take care of your health, and please be more careful!"

Silva nodded and waved until Wahyu finally disappeared with the light that was so dazzling to the eyes. Wahyu's departure with silence made Silva turn to Resa, he walked over before saying, "What's wrong with you?"

"How come?" said Resa, still in disbelief.

"What how?" Silva frowned in surprise. "You should already know since you have the same abilities as me."

"No, this is completely different. I usually give out portals with not so bright light, but the portal you brought out is very bright. How can there be this difference?"

Silva was also confused by what Resa was talking about, all he had seen was a blinding white light. He never saw any other light, but it could be that the portal came in a different color because the summoner used a different method.

Silva let out a deep breath as he looked back at Resa. "In what way did you help them?"

"A ritual of repatriation that only the family knows about, and you in what way?"

"Praying to God. I don't have any indigo relatives, and I didn't study for this. I just accidentally prayed for her to come back, and the portal appeared," Silva explained according to her memories.

Resa was still in disbelief, he frowned for a few moments while thinking. "So it was just a prayer?"

Silva nodded slowly, and she gave him a sudden handshake. She gave a big smile now. "Greetings, Resa. I'm glad to have a friend like you."

"You're welcome, Silva. I hope we become close friends." Resa shook Silva's hand for a few moments. "I have something to say, but it's too long to talk about today. I have a lot of work with my classmates, can we meet tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Silva was quite surprised by the sudden request for time.

"Yes, tomorrow we'll meet near the stairs on the second floor. I'll wait for you during the second break, I have to go now. Goodbye!"
