“Ga want ah. Why the hell do we have to move rumaaaaah continues?” Hahhhhh, I breathed hard. It is my father's duty to fulfill the duties of his superiors, so this is not only my papa's fault as well. When I started to get nervous in my new home, why would I move in with my papa again? Yes, again, because this incident has been repeated three times in seven years, papa papa, why did my papa not resign?

“Ga can Lea, actually papa also does not want to have to move house again, but how else dong papa can not refuse.”

“Iya Lea, surely you will get a new temen later in Bandung. Ok.” Again and again my mother supported me. If the mother who asked me could not refuse, then the mother was angry again and angry that mama found out.

“Ya is up to you and mom.” I had to agree with my parents' decision.

The first day of school at my new school was very ordinary. It's just that my new school is quite impressive, the area is wider than my previous school and the facilities are more complete, understand the name is also a private school.

As I walked around looking around, I heard the sound of crying. I followed the direction the voice came from and I found a student who was squatting while bowing his head. When viewed from her uniform it seems like she is my junior sister, precisely Class XI. My new school is indeed different from other schools that all generations wear the same uniform, in this school the uniforms of each generation are different.

“Hey why are you crying?” That student didn't seem to hear my voice as he kept his head down. I louder my voice and asked again, “You're okay? How to cry?”

The student raised his head and his face immediately looked shocked when he saw me. He kept looking me in the eye without speaking. One sec. Two seconds. Three seconds. Four seconds.

“Emm you are okay?” I repeated my question, but he didn't answer. Confused, I tried to introduce myself. Maybe he won't answer because he saw my face for the first time? Because you don't know me? “Hi I'm Lea. I'm a new student here. What's your name?” Instead of answering me he stood up and left me.

Geez, that kid has no manners huh? I tried to care for her, even though I didn't know her, but she left without even saying a word to me, huh it was so annoying. I decided I didn't care about that weird kid.

Come to think of it, why did he get so angry? He's a boy, but what's a crybaby? If girls are reasonable. Ah he has a severe problem maybe, ah yes maybe, usually if the guy is not easy to cry, if until the cry was certainly a very heavy problem, I was also kasian.

A cold wind was blowing towards me. I have a bad feeling about it, every time I experience something like this, I must be being followed by that invisible creature, but invisible to me. I looked back, I didn't see any creatures there. Hahh, now that I can breathe with relief, it turns out that this time it was just my hunch.

An invisible creature or me and others used to call it a ghost has been a part of my life for 17 years. I have a sixth sense, something to be proud of, because not everyone has it, but it is also troublesome. I never used to see these invisible creatures, because some of them were physically very scary and also disgusting.

“Lea can I minjam your bio notebook?” My new friend asked me. His name is Rima. She's a very nice person, beautiful and has a lot of friends, very different from me. After only six days of knowing me, she had already told me a lot about him, whereas I could only be a good listener, only responding once or twice because I still did not feel comfortable with him.

“By aja Rim, a minute yes.” As I was about to pick up my biology notebook in my bag, I saw the strange student from the window. It seemed like he was smiling at me and now he is waving at me! From the motion of his mouth it seemed like he was asking me to meet him. Why would he see me, just know me.

“This Rim the book.” After giving my book to Rima I immediately went to meet the student.

“Where are you going to Lea?”

“I'm going to my friend over there. Which again looks towards us.” I pointed towards the student.

“Mana? No one is looking at us again.”

“That's curly hair, when you don't see anyway?”

“Mana? There is no such thing as.” Strange... Why can't Rima see that person? The freak was not far from our class. Ah bodo. Maybe Rima's vision is a little myopic.

“As far as you are Rim. Contact him if you wait a long time.” By the time I got to the doorstep of the classroom, the strange student was no longer there. Oh my gosh, may I be bullied again? Why the hell is that guy doing his job saying mulu?

“Hei Lea.” Looks like someone called me. I looked back. Well, it turns out that freak called me, but how does he know my name? She ran a little towards me.

“Hei also.” I only answered short.

“Your house is in orchid housing too? Wow, what a coincidence. I also live in that housing.”

“Iya.” I'm always uncomfortable when invited to a conversation by someone I don't know very well, it feels like my mouth is racketed like given glue shoes only, so I can only answer short questions strange students.

“Sorry at that time I was not polite with you. At that time I was just shocked, how can you see me.”

“It's okay...” Wait, what did the words mean? ‘I'm just surprised, how can you see me?’ It's even stranger to people, yes I can see him, but what are my eyes blind? Or maybe, yes aampuuuun, if that's good I'm really unlucky. But he likes to say that.

“Yes I can see you, my eyes are still normal.”

“I mean, I'm a ghost, usually people can't see me, while you can.” Hah ya aampuun. Although I had expected that he was the ghost of his words earlier, I was still shocked when I heard it from his mouth, that he was a ghost.

I saw the ghost from toe to head, her skin was pale! Why am I a bodo? Why can't I tell which ghost isn't? But his appearance was indeed human-like, what distinguished only his pale complexion was.

“Then never hit me again, I don't want to be disturbed by you or any ghost!” I ran with all my might leaving the ghost behind. But my efforts were in vain, I do not remember that ghosts could move places. When I walked into my room I was shocked because the ghost was already sitting on my sofa.

“Why are you here? I told you not to bother me. You and I are different worlds, your place is not here.”

“Then where am I at Lea? I'm not dead yet,” the ghost is now standing near me, ”Please me Lea, only you can help me.”

“Basi know not. A lot of ghosts are asking me for help, just because I can see you. Sorry I can't help you. ”

“But Lea, by saving me you can prevent me from dying. I'm dying, I'm almost dead.” This ghost is very stubborn.

“Sorry I can't.” I threw my bag everywhere, then went downstairs. I knew the ghost was still following me, but I ignored it.

“Mama cook what? So fragrant. There was a cow rendang. Asiiik.” The dining table has been covered with a variety of my favorite dishes.

“Iya kan papa you again want to eat beef rendang, yes mama must participate lah.”

“Wah mama TOP really,” I so remember my brother who died two years ago because of an accident. Just like my papa he really likes beef rendang as well, “If only brother still there yes ma, he must be very cool cooked beef rendang kina same mama. I'm kangen brother.”

“Mama also miss your brother Rim, but how else, we can only eat from here hopefully your brother is happy there. Don't be sad anymore, let's eat.”

‘But Lea, by saving me you can prevent me from dying.’ I still remember the ghost's words. Right now I was beginning to hesitate with my decision not to help the ghost. But.. If I see ghosts again I can do harm.

The night wind was rushing about my black hair. Tonight the sky is not so much adorned with those beautiful stars, only the moon shines up there. Since my brother died, it has been my routine to stand on the balcony of my room while looking at the night sky. That way my longing for my brother was a little treated. But tonight was different, I don't know why I was so nervous. I feel so guilty for the ghost for not accepting his request.

I started to get cold so I went back to my room, the clock showed at 23:12. When I washed my face in the bathroom, someone knocked on my bathroom door.

“Mama?” No one answered. I opened my bathroom door, there was nobody. Maybe I heard it wrong?

As he was about to turn off the room lights, suddenly someone held my hand. I forcibly released my hand. I know who was holding my hand, it must be the ghost, but the ghost did not appear to me.

“I know it's you. Why are you still bothering me huh? Why don't you find someone else to help you?”

“I won't stop bothering you before you want to nolongin me Lea.”

“Why?”

“Then..” I stopped my words when the ghost suddenly appeared right in front of me.

“You know Rima, right?” Of course I know Rima, she's not my friend? But why should he mention the name Rima, my business with him this has nothing to do with Rima right. “She's my sister.” Those two words surprised me.

“Your sister? You mean, you're Rima's sister? You're not lying, are you?” I saw the ghostly face was fixed, not at all similar to Rima.

“You must be lying, you don't look like Rima.”

“As much as you want to believe or not, I certainly did not lie to you,” I am increasingly unsure of my decision not to help the ghost. I don't want the fate of Rima as much as I do, have to lose his brother, “You don't want to see your friend sad? He would be sad if I died? Your time is.” The ghost was right, I couldn't bear to see Rima feel the same sadness as me.

“Ok, I'll call you, meet me tomorrow at home.”

“How can I help you?” Now I was in front of the fence of a dominant luxurious mansion in deep purple and light gray. I don't know who this house belongs to, but I often pass it when I leave school, this house is also in the same housing as me, orchid housing. It seems that now I know whose house this is, but not necessarily. “Whose house is this? Your home?”

“Udah, don't ask much. If you want to help me, you just have to diem.”

“Diem? Our intent.” I wasn't done talking, suddenly the pain hit my body. My body can't be moved and just crumpled. I can't see any color other than black. My hearing suddenly didn't work. I know the cause of all this, the ghost of no self-knowledge tried to possess me without my consent!! Ghosts don't know themselves!!!

When I realized I was already in a room that looked like a bedroom. I was not alone in this room, a woman who seemed to be the same age as my mother stood looking at the photo in her hand. The woman seemed to be busy daydreaming at the photo so as not to realize that I was conscious.

“Sorry, auntie?” I tried to call the woman. The woman smiled kindly when she realized that I was conscious. While I was surprised when I saw the woman's puffy eyes. It seemed like the woman had just finished crying because her cheeks looked a little wet.

“You're aware?”

“Iya aunt. Sorry aunt who?” Is this Rima's mother and the ghost? That woman is beautiful, my mama who I think is beautiful just lost, baby her eyes are swollen.

“Already, you don't move much first. Wait yes, aunt take warm sweet tea for you first.”

As the woman left, I saw the photo now lying on the bed where I was sitting. In the photo is a boy holding a ball while showing his teeth neat and white. The child's face was very similar to the ghost that kept bothering me.

“It was a aunt at the age of five, her name was Raka,” oh so the ghost was Raka anyway, “You already know Raka right? Aunt thank you, because you aunt can be saved.”

“But aunt... I don't admit anything.” All I remember the last time before I lost consciousness was that I was possessed by that ghost named Raka. I don't remember ever doing what that woman meant.

“Because of you, aunty can talk to aunty's son, of course through you. Here drink the tea first.”

“Thank you aunt,” I sip a little tea that the woman gave me and then continue talking, “Tante believe me? Can I just lie to auntie?”

“Tante believe, the proof of your words is true. Now that the aunt's son is in the hospital, he can still be saved, he has started to recover.” The ghost has recovered. It turns out that the ghostly body is not dead yet and I managed to save one life. But what does the ghost recover from? Was he in an accident?

“Previous I'm sorry aunt. If I may know a aunt's son why yes?” The woman looked shocked when she heard my words earlier. I feel guilty. Did I say it wrong?

“So gini, the aunt's son has been missing for a few days. Aunty was worried about it, so aunt reported to the police. But during those few days, the police did not manage to find the aunt. Aunty once again thanks you, thanks to you aunty can find a aunt. Turns out the aunt's son was in an accident and fell into a pretty deep abyss. When aunty husband and police found aunty son, aunty son was unconscious and lost a lot of blood, his left leg was also broken.” The woman recounted the calamity that befell her son while shedding tears. I couldn't bear to see it, so I felt guilty never wanting to help his son.

“May Raka get well yes aunt.”

About three years ago for the first time I helped a creature called the ghost, after which I had an accident and was in a coma for 18 days. I am so grateful that I survived that time, at that time I knew that helping ghosts could be bad for the helper, could even take the life of the helper, no matter what the cause, was, maybe because of interfering in someone else's destiny? From then on I didn't want to help the ghost again until I met the ghost I now know named Raka.

My body is not strong, I am not strong anymore. For two days I was still strong to endure the pain I was experiencing, but now the pain I was experiencing was no longer able to bear

“Mam..a.” I don't know why my throat hurts, so I can't make a sound.

I forced my feet to stand up. I managed to do it, but after a few steps I walked towards the door of the room, my body was re-steady and my head hit very hard at the corner of my vault. I felt a warm thick liquid running through my temple. Blood, I know it's blood. My head grew heavier and I lost my consciousness slowly, until I felt nothing but a coldness that crept through me quickly.

Is that Mala's sister? No way, this must be a dream, brother Mala is not there.

I am very happy to be reunited with Mala's sister even in this clearly unreal dream.

“Kak Mala?” She did not respond to my words, she just walked up to me while revealing her sweet smile. Pinched my cheek which he thought was so stingy. Even in a dream he still likes to pinch my cheek which is his habit during life.

“Iya this is Lea's sister. I just want to say, I'm always proud of you. You want to help others even at the risk of losing your life. You are wrong if you are jealous of your brother first, you should be envious of your sister Lea, you have a good heart, which cannot be defeated by beauty, which cannot be defeated by anything. Now brother is no longer in the same realm as you, but memories cannot be erased including memories that you think are painful. Those painful memories can turn out to be meaningful when you sincerely accept them, not trying to throw them away. Now is the time for big brother to go and now it is time for you to open your heart to the one who comes or will come to you.” My brother disappeared as quickly as he arrived. I didn't do anything, I knew I couldn't stop him from leaving.

“Lea are you aware? Thank goodness.” The pungent smell of the hospital entered my sense of smell as I came to my senses. I saw the ghost in the same hospital dress as me.

“Lea is aware of Raka? Thank God Allah.” That woman is here? Then what I saw wasn't a ghost? But Raka?

“Iya ma. It's Leah, Raka, who you've been reading. I'm sorry, because of me you have to be hospitalized, I know you can get to this because it helped me, right? I heard from Aunt Raisa. And I'm sorry for lying to you, Rima is not my sister. At that time I had to lie because you did not want to help me, I know you love your sister very much from your conversation with aunt Raisa, so I use it so you want to help me.”

“So you... lied?” I didn't expect him to be that hard on me, taking advantage of my love for my brother. Tears slowly drip from both of my eyes.

“I'm sorry Lea, I know I was wrong. I beg you not to cry, I can't bear to see you cry.” He tried to wipe my tears, but I brushed them aside violently.

“Lea, I understand your anger, but has Raka not apologized to you dear? Mama knows you're forgiving.” My mama is stroking my long hair.

“But...” I remembered my brother's words, I must be sincere with everything that happened to me. My heart miraculously went cold. “I'm sorry, Raka.”

“Still Lea. I know Raka. You know, it turns out our fathers know each other.”

I looked at my mama who was smiling, “Dad Riko turned out to be papa's superior.”

“So your papa moved my papa duty continues? Tell your papa, beware if ever again move my papa again.” I pretended to be angry with Riko.

“Gak bakalan laaaah. People I don't want to lose you.”

“Idiiih, remember that we just knew Raka. Basic flirty.” My brother is very right ‘Now it is time for you to open your heart to the person who comes or will come to you.’ Words that have so much meaning. I will open my heart to Raka and the other Raka.

Finishes.
