Curse Girl

Chapter 4: Winter

An unremembered moving painting suddenly came to mind. Men and women were lying on the blood of each of them who had been mixed. Then there was a little boy who saw two people without life. With shining and glazed eyesight, a smile of fear cover was engraved on the child's face.

"Dad ... mother …." Tears were created from the little boy before his speech sounded changed. "It's a joke, right?"

The shock of disbelief instantly enveloped Ilfra's fragile soul. The memory he saw almost made him forget the figure behind. A black figure that had many mouths all over the body, the creator of fear and hatred within.

"𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦!"

Ilfra was wide-eyed, her breathing was intermittent, and her heartbeat was irregular. He was increasingly in disbelief to see the atmosphere around the usual— there were no monsters full of eyes or mouth on the body. The atmosphere of the T-junction still remains quiet, as well as the cold asphalt road because it is not passed. However, not yet had the girl's soft echoing voice calm down, snowflakes suddenly passed in front of the eyes.

Don't think that you can live a normal life, Monster. The whisper of the inner voice instantly stunned him. Although his messy feelings were slowly peaceful due to the silent atmosphere.

He immediately looked at the dark sky with a hint of stars. Netra with pink iris the sweater-clothed girl was slowly returning to normal—not showing a sparkling light.

Snow ... down. Stars twinkled despite the black clouds trying to cover up. My heart ... slowly calmed down, even though the imagination was real. His slightly open mouth slowly closed perfectly and created a smile.

Ilfra exhales mixed with cold air, creating a transparent white smoke in front of the lips. A happy look on his clean face. Well, I better go home and study. Do as usual, don't care about those strange creatures. Besides, I'm the only one who sees.

The feet step back and choose the path to the left. His gaze was straight without caring around, while showing a smile and receiving the snow grains that touched the body. Like a time-slowing drizzle to touch the ground, the white object has managed to erase its strange reality.

Uh. It's five o'clock. Ilfra had just finished reading and writing notes in the book. However, the hour hand has shown the sunrise time, making the girl who is still wearing a sweater and short jeans was up. Lesson books—like written books and companion books—inserted into a pink bag. Then, the book he was not scheduled to bring had been placed on a long table.

The girl's pink eyes looked towards the bed that closed the existence of the long table. Her thin lips produced a smile before the gaze turned to the window curtains. Immediately opened the curtain so that sunlight illuminates some room space. All right, do I have to take another shower? Or ….

Nope, no. Better take a shower again. Cold is my favorite. Ilfra immediately left the room that had been neat and clean. He began to enter the bathroom with a towel on both shoulders, preparing to feel the coldness of the water.

Over time, the white ceramic spaces that always produce a chill are left behind. The wooden floor had become the place where his feet rested. A white shirt with black on the collar is worn, as is a black skirt that covers the knees. Pink hair he tidied and tied next to make bangs on the right. However, there is still hair that blocks the eyes from seeing both ears.

𝘠𝘢, 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘬𝘪 𝘬𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘩, 𝘵𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘪 𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘬𝘢. 𝘛𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘵𝘢𝘬 𝘬𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯.

The mirror is left, while the pink bag is carried until the dining room is parallel to the living room. His hand opened the refrigerator, while his eyes looked at the contents. Eh? Food a little? Emm, I just spent it, went home from school to the supermarket.

"𝘛𝘦𝘮𝘶𝘪 𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘥𝘪 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘫𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘺𝘢."

Netra Ilfra was wide open hearing the heavy sound that roared in the mind. His hand that was about to touch one of the food ingredients came to a halt. By gulping and shaking once, he began to think positively.

𝘉𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘱𝘢-𝘢𝘱𝘢. 𝘔𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘸𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘬 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘪 𝘬𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘴.

The sun is still coming from the east and is always skyward for the sake of emitting light. However, he looked like a silhouette due to the thin white clouds spreading out. The snowflakes fall like a slowed drizzle, adding a pile of white objects to the above-ground objects. Slippery roads and cold, all seem ignored by people.

𝘚𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪 𝘥𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘶. 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘮 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯, 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘺!

"Akhs! Why go on strike now!"

Complaints of people who were upset to see his car damaged were heard, making Ilfra speechless and immediately speeding up. Winter is good. Yes, it is a little disturbing, anyway, for people whose cars are damaged because they are already damaged, maybe.

He paused for a moment, waiting for the red light for pedestrians to turn blue. Even though no vehicle was on the road, he waited while looking to the side.

𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘫𝘶 𝘥𝘪 𝘫𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘢𝘩 𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘩𝘬𝘢𝘯, 𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘪 𝘪𝘵𝘶 𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘬 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘺𝘢. 𝘚𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘱𝘶𝘬𝘶𝘭 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘪𝘯, 𝘴𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘫𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘢𝘩 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘱 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘫𝘶.

Ah, why am I thinking of something like this, anyway? The lights have turned on the blue. His feet also stepped towards the asphalt road that was given a white line. However, the slippery nature immediately makes a girl who does not say a word slip. Although it seemed, he was not destined to fall touching the cold asphalt.

"Thank God you didn't fall."

Ilfra immediately turned away from the person who helped her and turned her back. The warm feeling of the person's hand is still felt on the shoulder and creates discomfort. His pink eyes stared intently at the short blonde-haired teenage boy in front, then turned into a shocked look.

"Hem?" The man with the pale yellow iris was astonished to see Ilfra who picked up the book and pen, then wrote something. Thank you for helping, but please don't do that to me.

Seen a surprised look and confused on the face of the man, but Ilfra did not care and quickly closed the book. After being put in the bag, he immediately walked away with a messy feeling. While trying to eliminate the letters in the heart to be voiced, also think about his actions.

𝘚𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘪-𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘪. 𝘉𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘶 𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘵𝘢𝘬 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘫𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘶 𝘬𝘢𝘵𝘢? 𝘈𝘬𝘶 𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘬 𝘴𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯!

"Hey, wait!" The sound of feet stepping quickly behind instantly stopped after his eyes stared there, revealing a pink glint like a diamond. The man in a different school uniform with her fell silent on the spot. Without the use of speech or writing, he gave a signal from the gaze of the eyes. Don't come near me, please, don't come near me. Don't come near me!

"What's wrong with you?"

"Get out of my way, Yellow Boy."

Ilfra was wide-eyed to see the long white-haired girl pushing the man who was about to approach her. A look of annoyance on the face of the light brown man, especially after realizing who the perpetrator was.

"What the fuck are you, Liyana. Just push it." The firm voice of the man did not thrill Liyana—the girl who was now standing near Ilfra.

"Don't forgive Rena's behavior, yeah. Feminine men love to tease young women."

Ilfra began to be confused to hear Liyana's soft-spoken words. However, the expression of Rena—lelaki who helped Ilfra—t could not resist angry emotions, even though the hair that covered both ears made him like a woman.

"You—"

"Don't step, boy! Or you'll die here."

Liyana's blood-red eyes stared intently at Rena, causing Ilfra to fall silent with trembling feelings. He widened his eyes as a cold wind gushed against Liyana's hair bangs, revealing the cold-faced girl's left eye.
