"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 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
The heavy rain made the water rise even more, almost touching the sleeping girl's ears. The splash of water made her wince before opening her eyes wide, she suddenly sat up and looked around. This place was dark with pools of water, no sound but the sound of rain and thunder above.Silva quickly climbed up because she was afraid of something in the hole. She also didn't know why she had to fall asleep in a hole that looked exactly like a grave. Her last memory is only school, and a few people. Silva took a deep breath once he reached the top, but sadly it was much darker up there.The flash helped her see the forest as far as the eye could see. Huge trees everywhere with the sounds of small animals. Crickets or maybe other noisy animals, Silva didn't really understand the sounds of wild animals in the forest.She started to take steps after thinking for a few minutes. Directionless steps, and eternal light. The flash came several times with long pauses. Silva didn't mind the darkness,
Resa sat on the bed with pain. He tried to take off the shirt which had a bloodstain on the shoulder. A lot of blood was still flowing, making his skin also have blood stains that were still wet and those that were dry.He tried to clean the blood with a cloth that he had given a little water to. It hurt so badly, but Resa held it so Regina wouldn't hear him groans. He was afraid that the little girl would force him to go see a doctor in the emergency room to get the right treatment."Older brother?"That small, hoarse voice made Resa turn around, he saw Regina standing in the doorway with puffy eyes. Her eyes radiated deep sadness. Resa gave a smile while gesturing with his hand for Regina to come closer."Why don't you want to go see a doctor?" Regina looked sadly at Resa's blood-stained shoulder, she took over the wet cloth and began to slowly help clean the blood stains."It's not a problem I don't want to or I want to see a doctor, Regina," Resa said quietly."Then what's the pro
"Resa, get the ball!" Juna shouted from the back of the class.Resa glanced at the basketball hiding behind the classroom door, and he only watched for a few seconds before continuing him way to the end table near the window. He sat down ignoring Juna's screams because he was disappointed in Resa.Juna exhaled deeply as soon as he stood near his friend's table with a basketball. "It's really growing like someone who has no intention to live. What's wrong with you? Do you have a problem?"Resa didn't answer, he just stared at Juna without taking off hisnbag which was quite heavy because today there were many additional tasks."Resa, just tell me if you have a problem, I will help you because we are close friends," Juna said again, but this time he touched Resa's right shoulder. Of course the owner of the shoulder screamed in pain while hitting Juna's arm which was still perched on his shoulder.Juna was shocked, she apologized to Resa several times because he didn't know it would make
"Resa, are you serious about going home alone?" Luna still couldn't believe Resa, who now seemed painless. Even his pale face this morning had disappeared, as if he had never gone to the UKS.Luna helped carry the backpack even though Resa had refused several times. The boy kept saying that he was fine and not a child who should get special treatment.Juna also helped Resa to go down the crowded stairs. There are so many aggressive third graders who want to go home quickly without caring that someone is sick. Even though they went home earlier than the first and second graders who came home at four in the afternoon.Juna and Luna look like Resa's parents now. Resa smiled feeling the warmth from her two friends, and started to be silent like a child who really needed protection.They arrived at the parking lot now, and Juna immediately took out Resa's motorbike so it wouldn't be jostled like it was in the corridor. He tucked the backpack in front under a stampede. Resa started to sit w
It was raining in the city of Jakarta, the school yard was starting to get flooded with the wind being quite strong. Lightning and thunder came together, the roar made some people cover their ears in fear.Silva stood at the lip of the top step, her face getting rainwater from the wind. The roar of thunder and strong winds brought her back to remembering last night's nightmare. The good news is that she is at school waiting for public transport that will never stop on the school grounds.Silva saw that the parents of the students had come, almost all the school residents had gone home. She was left with the students who chose to wait in the classroom with lights and thick sweaters. Silva was reluctant to be in a noisy class, she chose to stand on the terrace of the building with the sound of rain.Silva took a deep breath before turning to her left, someone was walking with a black umbrella while giving a flat look. The man Silva didn't recognize covered a woman and headed for a black
Nike air jordan shoes cross the street with endless pools of water. Mud and other dirt managed to stick to the sole of the shoe, some even stuck to the body of the shoe. Silva didn't complain about that because she thought the shoes could still be washed clean, but for something she was looking for tonight she had to get it somehow.The school gate was clearly visible now, tightly closed with a large padlock visible inside. Silva shouted so that the school security guard who was on duty could hear her voice.The beam of a flashlight from a distance made Silva heave a sigh of relief. A thin, tall man was walking over, he opened the big gate padlock and said, "What are you doing tonight, Miss?""I left my book in class Sir, tomorrow I have to collect my homework. I came here so I won't be punished tomorrow," explained Silva hastily."Own?" Roni looked left and right, there was no one. There wasn't even a motorbike or car parked nearby, he couldn't help but think that Silva had come on f
