The Mediums Help 32
This morning the wind felt icy cold, the jacket was not expert enough to warm the body. Regina hugged Resa's waist so tightly while enjoying the scenery along the way to school. There are many sights that she can see, various kinds of food smells, and the shape of the food being sold she can see. Yellow rice, and buns look tempting. She wanted to buy one, but Regina knew she didn't have enough money. Money was precious when it came to food that could be used up in one sitting, unlike goods that could last for several years if they were of good quality and not cheap. "What are you thinking about, Regina?" "Nothing, just looking at the scenery on display," Regina said simply. Her gaze shifted to Resa's tall, wide back. "What were you thinking about?""Just thinking... you're sad. How are you feeling today?" Resa glanced at the rearview mirror, a faint smile growing as he knew his sister was doing well. "Fine, I'm very happy this morning. Thank you for all the advice, and counsel you

"You have no intention of meeting that beautiful girl?" asked Tere, who was annoyed with Resa because he had been busy filling out TTS, and playing rubik's when he didn't know the answers to some of the columns. Resa shrugged his shoulders casually, as he tried to think of filling in the last blank column. There was no right answer in his head right now, as if his brain stopped running because Tere was staring at him sharply. It could be said that Resa's brain was scared by Tere's deadly stare. The silence of the class made Tere even more annoyed with Resa, even her eyes squinted with a hardened jaw. Her right hand clenched into a fist, and then she hit the desk hard. The sound that came out was not so loud, but it was able to make Resa surprised. Even the book was almost closed, as if there was a strong wind coming. Resa looked at Tere in displeasure. "What's wrong with you?""What's wrong with you?" Tere snapped. "Do you actually intend to help me? If not, you should have told me

Sunlight enters the classroom through the windows that are not covered by curtains. Some of the desks near the window were glaring, making the occupants of the desks choose to cover their hot faces. Some choose to leave, to join their friends without disrupting the lesson. Ratna - the English teacher who had just finished her notes on the white board began to sit without her square glasses. The thick book became the object for her to start focusing on, she marked some important parts with a red pen, and some with blue. The unsettled atmosphere of the class didn't upset Ratna, she stayed focused on her work at the table. Occasionally, she would look around the room with a quiet gaze. She noticed some of her students who were busy taking notes, but she gave them a simple smile before resuming her work. Silva who sat on bench number three from the front, close to the windowless wall was busy watching the sunlight. With her right hand supporting her chin, she was so focused on the sunli

The return bell was not as loud as usual, not knowing if there was a problem or not, but all the students hurriedly ran out. While Silva, as she usually walked slowly, didn't want to follow like the other children. She chose to walk leisurely to enjoy her short life, not because of any illness or anything. She didn't know when death would come, and enjoying life every day would make her happier. As Silva stood on the top step, she saw that the schoolyard was full of students. Students with private vehicles had to wait patiently in the courtyard near the big mango tree. They had to wait until there were no pedestrians in the courtyard, as per the principal's order every morning. A reminder before the start of class. The girl resumed her pace, but a little faster this time. She passed by various motorcycles of different colors, still walking upright without looking the other way. However, a face she recognized made Silva run over. She was standing near the security post now. "Hi, Res

The bicycle stopped right in front of a coffee shop that was quiet, even though it was still eight o'clock at night. Resa entered the angkringan without looking around, his right hand waving when he saw Mr. Muh standing near the table. The old man smiled so wide that Resa stood in front of his table. "Good evening, Resa.""Good evening, Mr. Muh. It's so quiet, is it really quiet or have many gone home?" Resa's eyebrows knitted deeply. "Many have gone home, I also don't know how strange it is today. It seems like there are many people who have busy activities tomorrow, don't you have any important activities tomorrow morning?""No, tomorrow is just like any other day." Resa looked the other way, and his attention focused on a person in a cream-colored jacket eating hot coffee, and a chocolate donut with half of it left. His face was familiar when the sunglasses were taken off, a faint smile came out before Resa turned to Mr. Muh. "Sir, I will count my mother's rice later, I have to m

The brown ball soared high, and then into the basket very smoothly. Dimas cheered his victory, and David was still down 10-6. The game ended just like that, David chose to sit on one of the brown chairs while sipping his mineral water in a glass bottle. Dimas walked over after picking up his basketball. He hugged the ball while keeping an eye on his cousin who looked exhausted. Sweat was pouring down his face despite the chill in the air tonight, and Dimas admitted that he was feeling hot right now. "Your house is very hot," David said after Dimas sat down next to him and leaned back. Dimas nodded in agreement, but his attention was still focused on his favorite basketball. "Even though there are many trees here, the wind also comes in turns. But it still feels hot, I don't know why it happens like that.""Why not make a basketball court inside the house? Give it an air conditioner like the ones in elite schools, isn't it not difficult to do that?""No, of course it's easy." This t

The sound of the door opening made Silva look back, she gave a friendly smile to the beautiful girl beside Resa. Tere looked shy, not very confident, different from her usual self. Resa felt confused because of Tere's strange behavior. The female ghost smiled awkwardly when Resa stopped his steps right in front of Silva. Tere saw the girl named Silva whom she had been admiring, a brief smile that did not give any impression made Tere confused about what to do other than waving her hands in the air. While Resa remained silent for a while, and then he sat down next to Silva. Introducing Tere as his close friend so far to Silva cheerfully. Silva accepted the explanation eagerly, she was very happy to meet Tere today, even more happy than Resa imagined. "I don't remember anything about my death," Tere said sadly, she looked down languidly. Making Silva, and Resa stare at each other for a few seconds. "Tere forgot everything, but not her family. She remembers where her house is, who he

Water dripped from the lip of the roof tiles in turn. The rain has stopped since a few minutes ago, leaving many puddles on the ground, and on the surface of the leaves. The smell of water mixed with clay was quite strong, and the sound of frogs was the most annoying rhythm of the night. The big house with the orange-colored lights at the far end looked busy. The door was not closed as tightly as usual, there were many beer bottles clearly visible from the outside, and even the noise was also heard although the sound of frogs was still dominant. The sound of laughter could be heard loudly from inside. The room was full of cigarette smoke, and the smell of alcohol was strong. Everyone was busy laughing while smoking tobacco with sharp eyes. Almost everyone had bloodshot eyes, and looked very drunk. On the table they were approaching was a large, thick yellow paper. There were many dots with different inks, as if there was a treasure in each dot. The red ink had a special image, look
