FROM THE SKY

DELUSIONS

The sun rises high towards the horizon of the contest. Thick clouds cover the sun, so the light is not too bright. Breeze blow the tulips in the yard. The edelweiss buds collide with each other and merge. Likewise with passing vehicles, driving activity does not stop even though the time shows at five in the afternoon.

The Graha Persada residence looked as quiet as ever, only a handful of people were seen sitting down to relax and have tea in front of the house. There are also those who are sweeping the yard and tidying up the flowers. The sparrows and birds in the cage are unpretentious, the howls of the dogs belonging to the inhabitants enliven this lonely afternoon.

Airi and Sky arrived in front of the residential gate. With their bodies sluggish, they walked irregularly. Tired and desperate they were feeling right now. In addition to his stomach that has not been filled, the incident made his guts shrink. Someone could blame them for the incident.

It didn't take long for Airi to get to her house. Simple building painted white, as well as ornaments on each pillar makes this house look luxurious from the outside. In addition to the green plants that propagate and colorful flowers make the immunity of the body both again improved. The distance from the fence to the terrace is not too far away. With a limp body the sky lay on the front porch of Airi's house.

The twilight sky shone softly, shining on the two people sitting frozen. The bodies of both are equally sticky, unpleasant odors begin to smell.  There's nothing they're doing. Just sit there and stare blankly ahead

"It turns out being a super hero is not easy, Ri." The sky opened the conversation. He sat up.

Airi was still daydreaming, she heard the words Sky. "Yes. Instead of being considered a hero, it was considered insane," he said glancing at the sky with the tail of his eyes.

The boy sighed.

"But you have to be optimistic, saving people's lives has been the benefit of your advantages," he said, blowing on the clothes he was wearing.

Airi pensively, she hugged her knees. Put your chin between the two knees.

"I'd rather it's a curse, anyway." Airi's reply made Sky stop its activities. He looked at the girl.

"That's it?"

Airi nodded and cleared her throat.

"Don't be afraid, Ri. There's me," he chirped. Sky chuckles.

Airi stunned. He was silent for a moment, and increasingly tightened his embrace. 

"Either that. I'm afraid to see something in you."

The sky turned Airi's cheeks. He spoke with lips that advanced a few centi. "Relax chabby, while the sky is still alive, nothing will happen to Airi. And vice versa, as long as there is Airi beside me, nothing will happen to me. really, right?"

The girl was surprised she looked up at the sky. Just an innocent child with a great sense of caring. How could Airi disappoint the Sky? If only from his eyes he felt sincerity. 

Finally Airi smiled, then nodded her ass.

"Langit. Go home, son." The sound of screaming sounded.

That's Grandma Maria, the one who's been taking care of Heaven since childhood. The sky has parents, but he never wants to talk about his family. Or simply, answering Airi's curiosity. Grandma Maria had been living here before Airi came. Their house was just one house on the right.

"Yes Grandma!" he said in a high voice. "I'll go home first."

Sky passes. He had left Airi with a feeling of uncertainty. Besides being scared, Airi was also lonely. The girl hugged her knees again, she held back her increasingly noisy stomach voice. 

When was the last time you ate rice? 

Airi sighed. He rubbed his stomach gently. The girl got up. Look to the right and left, then open the door of his house that is not locked. There was only a dark room with a lot of landing. This house is empty. It is always empty every day. Only the closet and wall clock can show signs of life. The rest is no pleasure, only emptiness and sadness.

Airi has parents, but they are busy chasing the world. To the point of forgetting the figure of a little girl who needs attention. Not infrequently Airi entrusted to Grandma Sky or to the house of a neighbor who would accept it. Airi doesn't want to be alone. Therefore, it is placed on someone.

To be honest with working almost twenty-four hours, Airi did not understand what they were working for and for whom. Little Airi knew, they were not working for her but for her own pleasure. Airi doesn't need money, she needs affection more. Airi doesn't need new toys or story books, she needs her parents there, not stuff to cheer her up.

"Go from here. I don't want to talk to you!" banish him. He said to the silent air of this house.

No, he doesn't really speak for himself. There was someone, even many people accompanying him in the darkness. "Go you! don't meet me!"

Airi took a few steps back. He hit the door and held the doorknob tightly. "I won't go with you!!"

"Aaaaakhh go! I don't want to die!!" Airi screaming. The black shadow approached her and vanished as Airi cried.

"Yamaah!!"

His body shivered, his lips trembled. And his heart was beating very fast. He ran as fast as he could to the room. At least by being here he became a little calmer. There was someone who always accompanied him and invited him to talk. 

With deft Airi closed the room door.

"What's Airi?"

"Have not been afraid."

"Dry"

"Find me."

Airi stepped towards the mirror. "Good."

"Are you scared?"

"No Airi, you're not destined to be a coward."

"Where are your parents?"

"They don't exist?"

"Actually, what are they looking for from that ridiculous job?"

"So they ignore you?"

"It's okay Airi."

"Come with me."

"You'll be happy."

Airi shakes. "NO!"

"From Airi, you too will die. Why not speed it up now?"

"NO!!!" He screamed at the mirror. Which just reflects his own body.

"Come on, leave those cowards behind."

Tears dripped from her hot eye patch, her lips trembling. And his legs are limp. He shook his head repeatedly. "I don't want to!"

"Nobody loves you."

"They all fucked you."

"Your parents regretted giving birth to you."

"They don't want to have a child like you."

"NO!!"

Her body grew cold and shivering, Airi held onto her ears and squatted down alone. The voice would not stop even if he cried as hard as he could.

"Let's Airi come with me. We'll have fun."

"DON'TKKK!!!!"

Airi screamed again, she hit her head. Half-conscious, he was still able to endure.

"Watery?"

The sky was shocked by Airi's current condition. The girl lowered her head, grabbed and beat her ears. He looks weak and helpless. The sky immediately approached him. Then hold Airi in his arms.

"Sky. I don't want to die," he groaned in a voice that was choked by tears. 

The sky tightened his embrace, at least for Airi's body to stop shivering. He rubbed Airi's hair and tidied it. "I'm here. Relax, yes." When Airi was like this not only was the girl injured but the Sky as well. He was very worried about his safety.

"Fear!! "

"Yes yes I understand. No papa. I'm right here."

"Don't hear it again, yeah. I'm not leaving you."
