In his room, Ralin still imagined with his first day of fun at school. Meet some old friends and meet more new ones. One of them is the figure of Atlas, a friend who helped him escape from the clutches of seniors who turned out they were the
officials of the Kenanga High School and Rassya High School, the older brother who became the Chairman of his Osis. Recalling that Osis officials were mainly three students from a black Mercedes Bens car that day, Ralin recalled another young man who jumped quickly from the top floor of his school building that day.
“ Their gazes felt very strange... Especially the gaze of the vice chairman of OSIS named Andra. It really doesn't feel foreign. ” Inner Ralin while hugging and immersing his face
on the pillow bolsters that always accompany his sleep since he was a child.

On the terrace of another house. In the middle of the pine forest that surrounds the building. In a room measuring 4x5 m2, most of the room was dominated by doors with a room arrangement that was almost all made of neatly polished wood material, Andra, the black Mercedes Bens driver, was looking into the mirror next to his bookshelf that was lined up along the side of the room.
Memory after memory appeared in his mind the figure he missed so much. Memories after memories, and the shadow of the drops of blood from a little girl, brought her back to this city. A small town where all of her life stories begin again.
Exactly ten years ago it was dated and the same month. In a green courtyard filled with a beautiful stretch of white rose plants, a five-year-old little girl cried. When her first drop of blood fell on the petals of the white rose she admired, in addition to the beautiful blooming of the white rose which instantly turned as red as blood, the little girl cried bitterly in her knee-length white dress.
The bangs that covered his eyebrows and red shoes were attached to his feet. The little girl knew just crying. Crying because his finger was bleeding due to pricked thorns from the stem of a white rose plant that he had admired. For a moment, her tears that fell soaked the existing rose petals. As if giving a sign, the little girl's tears returned the color of a red rose as thick as blood back to its original color.
And from that one drop of blood and tears, the life of the young man began again in the city he had left for centuries.
“ Did something happen? ” asked a woman beside the young man who is now returning from his daydream. A woman with a cute face with curly hair that decomposes along her elbows, skin that is as white as Celine, a senior student who became one of the officials of Kenanga High School Osis. Her large black eyeballs and sharp nose implied the true beauty she possessed.
The face of the woman behind the book that he read implied a little suspicion on the figure of Andra. He who had been with the young man for a long time, was quite familiar with the residence shown by Andra this time.
“ Thinking about his figure again? ” The little hand of the woman who had grabbed her shoulder, gently pushed aside by Andra.
" I can't forget it yet, Leticia... "
Hearing this, the girl smiled behind Andra's back. Understand and will always understand the long wait of the man on the figure who suddenly disappeared from the middle of this city for centuries.
Opening wide the glass window before him, Andra let the night wind hit his slightly pale face and glittered in the moonlight. The woman was silent to witness Andra's unusual behavior.
Welcoming the other two who entered from the window that opened before him, they passed Andra who was still closed letting the night wind continue to hit every curve of his face. Feeling the night gives him better news from time to time after a long journey he makes only to be able to meet again with the figure he desperately longs for.
“ Is he back? ” ask the woman called Leticia. Trying to guess the news he had been waiting for from the figure of Andra and other friends.
“ Celine? ” The woman named Leticia was staring at another woman in the room. The woman who just came to his house. The woman who is now putting the pink sweater she wore on the long chair in the corner of the room.
" Long time no see, Leticia.." said Celine.
“ Nathan?? ” again and again. The woman with Leticia turned her gaze from the figure of the cute woman earlier towards the young man who came with Celine. With the middle hair that is quite dry and thin glasses, the figure named Nathan did not give any answer to him who was curious about the attitude that Andra showed lately towards him.
"Hi, Leti." greeted Nathan quite politely to a female figure who looked a little younger than him.
" What happened exactly??? " Leticia looked furious at the residence of the three people in her house after their arrival was felt unnatural. He turned to look at Andra and turned his gaze quickly towards Celine and Nathan.
" Not a fun thing like that! " answere another voice behind the darkness in the corner of the room. The figure that stood in the darkness and was in sharp contrast to where Andra was standing. A figure that looks like a twin of Andra standing on the darkest side of the room.
" What do you want to do by hiding in the dark like that? " Andra looked in annoyance.
" Just greet those who seem to want to talk about something" the answer to then his figure passed along with a breeze that managed to penetrate the solidity of every pine tree trunk that was passed by the figure of the young man in the darkness.
"What did he mean by that?"
"It's nothing." Andra turned her back to face her two friends, Celine and Nathan.
Feeling that she did not get any answers, Leticia placed the book she read on the table.
"You think I can't find out for myself?" threaten Leticia with the calm she always showed on various occasions. "I want to go with you guys."
"There's nothing, Leticia..." Andra patted the woman on the head and tried to calm down something that began to culminate in the turmoil of the woman named Leticia.
"You'd better stay here and do your best."
Not answering anything that Andra said to her figure, the woman named Leticia chose to stand behind Andra, Celine and Nathan. From behind his back to his three, a smile that implied a lot of meaning. His eyes glared in observance at the figure of Celine and Nathan who were now choosing to sit back after their long enough journey to ascertain some of the things they had long been looking for.
