The next day my hope was fulfilled again. When I got home from school, Alex suddenly stopped me before I left the classroom. At first he looked at me doubtfully. Then suddenly he said he liked me. I really feel happy. Without hesitation I replied that I liked it too. But not as usual. Today I can say that very easily. Now I feel like this is the most beautiful day of my life. It's all thanks to that diary. I feel like I'm the luckiest person ever to have a diary.
With a light step I set foot towards the house. It all happened after Alex expressed his feelings for me.
I opened the door. Not as usual. Today the house looks so quiet. Though there are usually mothers who always relax while watching tv in the guest room. But why is it so quiet today?
I kept waiting at home. I saw the wall clock showing at 08:30 but no one came. Even the father who should have gone home from work has not come. Where are they really? Just make me worry.
Suddenly I heard the sound of a motor from outside followed by the sound of an open gate. Out of curiosity, I immediately ran out to see who was coming.
I saw my mother running in such a hurry. While outside there's a woman I don't know waiting for mom with her bike.
“Where's mom from? How's mom's face pale?” much worry.
Mom stopped her steps. His face was wet with tears flowing down. “Your father!” said mother in a tight voice. It seems like he has been crying for too long.
“What's with dad?” I'm getting panicked.
“Your father accident. Now he is critical.” She cried even harder and hugged me very tightly. “Mother will return to hospital.” Said mother after releasing her embrace. He took a picture of the family in the living room. After that, he ran out after his friend.
“I'm coming!” I screamed trying to stop Mom. He didn't hear me. The motor he was riding on was traveling very fast.
“Why can this happen?” I said as I continued to cry, I wanted my life to be saved. But how?
“I remember! That diary can definitely help me!” myrag. Without wasting any time I immediately ran to the room and picked up the diary. After that, I immediately wrote down a request that I want my father safe.
Suddenly the diary turned red. While the diary was still in my grasp, suddenly a red liquid soaked my hand. The color is similar to blood. I'm so scared. Without a second thought I threw the diary on the floor.
A wisp of smoke appeared in my room. For a long time the shape resembles a human being. It wasn't until 1 minute that the lump changed. And what surprised me was that the blob had now turned into the figure of a man I didn't know.
“S-who are you?” manya.
“I? I'm Virgo. I was the owner of this diary before you.” He answered while approaching me.
“K-why are you b-can there be d-here?”
“I will explain about this diary book to you.” He said that made me not understand. “I used to be just like you. Since this diary can grant all my requests, I continued to use it until the last sheet. When I wrote in the last sheet that I understood that this diary is not a diary that can only grant the request of the owner, but this diary also has a curse.” Obviously at length.
“Iya, a curse for anyone who owns this diary, then that person will disappear from this world after filling the last sheet. But the man did not die, but was confined to this diary. In the diary there was a lot of torture. There you'll feel a lot of pain because you're still a human being. Then if you want to get out of that diary, then you have to find someone to replace you. In other words, the person will be the next victim. It's just that when you've made it out, your form is not as a human being, but as a spirit. That means you're dead. And now it's Lucy's turn. Just like the sheet left in that diary. The rest of your life is only 2 years away. Since every time you fill out a sheet of this diary, then that means you cut back the rest of your life by yourself.” Reciprocity.
“But I haven't filled out the last sheet.”
“That's the problem.” Virgo said as he picked up the diary book. “In this diary you just made a mistake.”
“Errors.”
“Yapc. The mistake was fatal. Because the error is the same as filling the last sheet of this diary.”
“What is my fault?”
“You have made a request that this diary cannot grant. That is, asking for this diary book to save someone's life. That means you're willing to exchange your life for the life of the person you want to save. But you can still cancel that request by burning this sheet. But the rest of your life will be reduced by half a year.”
“Then just give my life to my father!” I said while crying.
“A-what?” Virgo looked shocked after hearing my statement. “But in this diary there are still 1sheet more. You can still make better requests than you should give your life to someone else.” Virgo is trying to change my mind.
“Then what's in it for me? Isn't it the same? If I keep writing in this diary, it means I'm cutting back on the rest of my life. Then what difference does it make if I give my life to my father who has always taken care of me?” I said with great certainty.
“Are you sure?” Virgo is trying to make sure.
“Yes. I'm sure and absolutely sure.” Reply steady.
“Good. Then now hold my hand.” Virgo extended his hand. I held her cold hand. “Now I will include you in this diary. I guarantee your father will be safe.” Reciprocity.
A white light shone all around me. Suddenly my body felt lighter than before. I saw my body turn into dots of light that moved into the diary. The more I got into it, the diary sheet turned the same white the first time I found it. While all the things I wrote all this time just disappeared. It kept happening until my soul completely disappeared from this world.
4 Days later…
The diary is back in its place. Where Lucy found it, it was near the school container. Even though Lucy was locked up in the diary, but the curse will not stop. The diary was found again by someone else. Lucy who was confined in the diary was completely shocked after seeing the owner of the next diary. Because that man is Rani his own best friend. Now Lucy can only hope that Rani does not experience the same thing with him. Because he doesn't want to, someone else will be the next victim. Especially if it is someone he cares about very much.
