Droplets of Night Creatures

40. Finally Come

At that time Aruna had just entered the room that would become her class this year. When entering the room is still quiet because some students choose to gather outside the classroom. Aruna looked for an empty seat and put her bag there.

“ Do not sit there...!” a voice said to surprise Aruna.

The table and chair where Aruna put her bag upside down suddenly seemed as if there was one invisible force that sent the objects crashing down. Aruna sighed because she was sure that it was not a human but a ghost.

“ Don't be rude, by the way you can do fine..!” aruna said ferociously while circulating her gaze to the corners of the classroom.

Aruna's gaze came to a halt on the ghostly figure of the schoolgirl standing in the corner of the room while bowing her head. With long unraveling hair covering his face and an unpleasant scent emanated from his body. When observed the smell came from the blood that began to dry from the wound on the ghost's body.

Slowly the ghost raised his face to make Aruna scream stifled while taking a few steps back in horror to see the ghost's face. The ghostly face looks creepy with lips torn to the cheeks and a face full of bloody wounds. Some of his lower lips dangle down to show the oral cavity and teeth that are all red. Then the sisiwi ghost floated closer to Aruna.

“ You can see Me...?” the ghost of the student asked in amazement.

“ I... yes...,” says Aruna nervously.

“ Really..?” ask the ghost of the student not to believe it.

“ Yes...,” said Aruna while trying to neutralize his fast racing heartbeat.

“ How does rupaku..?” ask the ghost of the student.

“ You will not want to hear it...,” said Aruna while looking to the right and to the left because of fear that there are friends who saw him talking alone.

“ You are afraid..?” ask the ghost of the student.

“ Ga. I just don't want to be labeled crazy for talking to myself..” said Aruna quickly.

“ Oh so...” said the ghost of the student with a smile.

Aruna closed her eyes when she saw the female ghost smiling. Because for Aruna the ghostly smile of the schoolgirls was more like a scary grin than a shy smile.

“ Why are you here, lost ya. Whose name...?” asked Aruna while tidying up the table and chair that had crashed.

“ My name is Mela. I'm also a third-grader just as rich as you.” said the ghost of Mela.

“ Continue why you can't I sit here..?” ask Aruna.

“ This is my girlfriend's chair. Since long ago this chair is always empty and I do not ngijinin anyone to sit here including you.

“ You and your boyfriend have long graduated so you are not entitled to this seat.” said Aruna.

“ But I can't leave because I'm still tied to my girlfriend's appointment.

“ What promise anyway...?” ask Aruna curiously.

“ My girlfriend promised to pick me up, I kept waiting for her but she never came until today.

Aruna still wants to hear Mela's ghost story but the lesson bell starts ringing to make her stop her conversation with Mela's ghost.

Aruna also saw his friends no one wants to sit in the chair ‘ Beloved Bela’ lover. Although there was no official announcement so as not to disturb the table of the chair, but no one wanted to sit there.

Seeing that made Aruna curious and finally tried to find out about Mela. From the school guard Aruna got information if Mela and her lover named Santo are classmates. Their relationship was established since they were in the first grade of High School.

The day that Mela died was the day that Santo left her at the school gate because she had to go to the workshop to patch her leaking motorcycle tires. The saint asked Mela to wait and promised she would come back. But after a long wait the Saint did not return.

Mela decides to walk down the side of the road and hopes to meet Santo later. While walking occasionally Mela looked back because she was worried that Santo would come to pick her up. Apparently it makes Mela's vigilance decreased so he did not pay attention to his surroundings. At that time a truck drove at high speed from the direction of the herd and directly hit Mela. The girl did not escape and was crushed by the truck to death at the scene.

Apparently, Mela's spirit is not aware that she is dead. He was still stuck in that place and kept waiting for Santo to come pick him up.

“ So so yes Sir..” said Aruna concerned.

“ Right Run. But by the way you know Mela...?” ask the school guard.

“ Ga on purpose, if so thank you sir..,” said Aruna as she passed and left a question mark in the mind of the school guard.

\=====

Aruna stopped stepping and began to observe the disheveled-clothed man as he was interested in what the man was going to do. Soon the disheveled-clothed man stopped while staring at Aruna's school gate. Her pale lips seemed to tremble as she called out a name.

“ Melaaa..., Melaaaa.., I'm coming. Where are you Melaaa...,” call the man in a soft voice.

Aruna gasped in shock at hearing the man mention Mela's name repeatedly. Aruna turned to look at the two men who rushed over to the man in a tangled dress who now appeared to be sitting on the sidewalk crying.

“ Don't get rich gini keep To. Ikhlasin Mela, he was calm in heaven there.” said one of the men while rubbing the back of the man dressed in tangles.

“ Mela died because of Gue Ed. If I hadn't known him back then, Mela would be alive now.” sahut the man that Aruna believed to be St. Mela's lover.

“ Not wrong Lo kok. If you were beside him, you wouldn't be able to change your destiny. If God had ordained Mela to die that day, yes she would have died that day no matter what.

Everyone who was not far from the sidewalk also watched the Saint and his two friends. The saint refused to rise even though his two friends tried to pull him to stand. In the distance, precisely in front of the Aruna gate saw the ghost of Mela standing while staring at Santo with teary eyes. Apparently he also knew the coming of the Saint and intended to welcome the coming of the beloved.

Aruna sees that Mela's ghost appears to be drifting towards Santo and then stops right in front of the man. The ghost of Mela extended her hand to touch the face of the Saint who was now filled with disordered mustaches and beards. Then Aruna approached Santo and his two friends and spoke to them from heart to heart.

“ Sorry if I'm sassy. Is this Om his late girlfriend Mela..?” ask Aruna carefully.

“ Yes Dik. You know Mela too..?” ask a friend of Saint Agus.

“ Yes Om. My name is Aruna. Mela always found me every day and said she could not leave because she was still waiting for her boyfriend.” said Aruna half whispered.

Hearing Aruna's reply made the three men before her flinch and stare at each other in confusion. The three shook Aruna's hand and then there was a conversation between them.

“ But Mela is dead, time can chat with you.” Deni said in disbelief.

“ Can be Den, maybe this child is indigo and can communicate with subtle creatures.” said Agus mediates.

“ Right said Om Agus. God love I excess can communicate with invisible beings including Mela..,” said Aruna with a smile.

“ That way, you can meet Me and Mela. I want to apologize to him..” said Santo suddenly while grasping Aruna's fingers tightly.

“ God willing can Om. Without being asked Mela has come alone and now she is standing in front of Om..,” said Aruna while gently brushing her hand.

“ Oh yes, where is he ?. Mela..., Mela...!” call the Saint while turning to the right and to the left.

“ Um, sorry Yes Om. We can't find anywhere else. It's not good to see the rich gini. And if you can do not go far, Om, because Mela can only go around here aja..” pinta Aruna.

“ Oh that. How about We go to the park across there..,” Deni proposal.

Everyone nodded in agreement and rushed to the park across from the school. When he arrived at Santo Park he immediately asked the whereabouts of Mela to Aruna.

“ Where is Mela now Run..?” ask the impatient Saint.

“ He's in front of Om. He asked why Om had just come, even though he waited a long time in front of the school.” said Aruna.

Hearing what Aruna said made the Saint cry. Agus and Deni also seem to try to calm the Saint.

“ During this time Santo was admitted to the Mental Hospital. He was depressed when he watched Mela run over a truck and die in front of his eyes. Santo continues to blame himself for being late to pick up Mela first.” Agus explained.

“ Saint declared cured and just yesterday out of Mental Hospital. Pasampe dyinget house is only Mela. Saint Maksa came here to apologize to Mela. Santo sure that the spirit of Mela must still be here waiting for him.” said Deni with teary eyes.

“ That's right Om. Mela and Om Santo tied the same promise to meet in front of the school. And that's what makes Mela ga want to go..,” said Aruna.

“ So what can We do Runa..?” ask Agus.

“ Lead Mela to where she should be Om..,” says Aruna.

“ How to..?” ask Deni.

Aruna was silent for a moment while looking at the ghost of Mela who was also crying in front of Saint. Aruna could see the great love between Saint and Mela even though they were different dimensions.
