On another day that was so calm, Ralin was trying to contain anger with what he was experiencing.
“ I have no intention of knowing them. So ogah I deal with the managers of Osis it. ” said Ralin snacked on a snack brought Atlas on another day. “ There is something strange with them, including elo! ”
“ I also ?? ” Atlas accused him. The look on his face seemed not to accept Ralin's accusations on him.
Ralin nodded. “ Lo is weird. Yesterday I was rich in a few days. I look for class, your friend no one knows where you are. Lo enter what is it? Where is your home address! ”
Atlas scratched his head and was a little confused by the answer he had to give to Ralin.
“ About the managers of Osis, why them? ” carat Atlas.
Ralin was upset. He knew that Atlas was trying to avoid the reason for his disappearance a few days ago. Atlas since his arrival this morning deliberately diverted any questions Ralin had about his disappearance from school a few days ago.
“ Obviously weird! See 'em.. ” Ralin accused the two floors of the Osis Room in the Main building of the school building facing east. Right in the direction of the terrace where the managers of Osis often gather or at least where they always spend their rest.
In the room, Celine was with Andra. Nathan is between the two. Seated by the side table there is Rassya, the older brother is opening a map that may be being studied. Paying careful attention to the figure of the managers of Osis, Ralin was silent. He was amazed by what he saw. It was as if he had seen a painting with a high historical value. Where the terrace room Osis itself does look very luxurious. It looks like a balcony in an opera house that is only occupied by important people such as the managers of Osis, they wore a black suit with a red label on the upper right arm as an official blazer that set them apart from the rest of the students.
“ They're weird. Like not a human. ” added Ralin interrupted his residence who was amazed at the view he saw now.
“ If not human, ” Atlas stared at Ralin with certainty. “..then what do you think they are? ”
“ Ng, I don't know. Where do I know. ” replied Ralin hanging. He looked at Atlas for a moment.
“ What did your question mean just now? ”
Not willing to answer, Atlas just shrugged his shoulders and waved and left before Ralin without permission. The question from Atlas continued to disturb Ralin's thoughts afterwards. Plus yesterday's incident, where Ralin remembered very well how fast and exactly what Andra and Celine did. For the size of a human, of course.
Ralin stopped realizing the figure of Atlas who left him far behind. Just throwing a meaningful smile, a chill suddenly burst out around Ralin. Eve who came from behind a tree in the corner of the UKS school room. Trapped in the blowing cold, came across a dream that always disrupted his sleep in recent months.
The pine forest, the white rose, the twilight light that slowly disappeared in the western hemisphere, and the mysterious figure that seemed to call Ralin to approach him.
Faintly from a distance the figure of Atlas approached slowly, forcing Ralin to recall a nightmare. A dream that brings his memories deep into the darkness.
The dark is really dark. Until it looks like there's a small torch flame at the end of it. The sound of screaming was getting clearer in the ears. There was a scream of fear. Groans of pain. The cries and flames that ravaged a small village. The hateful gaze of the crowd, the bloodied hands, and a boy were drowning under a pair of feet wearing flaming red shoes. Breath snorted. He gasped at the sight of his own hand that was filled with blood. Until a strong gust of wind hit him and his body crashed far back.
So aware of the shock caused by his body that crashed far away, Ralin only realized that everything he saw and felt earlier was just a dream. The nightmare feels real. Trying to hear clearly the sound that was heard around him, his eyes turned to pay attention to the turkic green room. A white blanket enveloped part of his body and the faint smell of medicine was smelled by him. Beside the bed of the UKS room, there is a curtain partition that limits its figure with the owner of the voice that is also in the room. From the gap that was slightly open, Ralin tried to see and steal the direction of the conversation that occurred between Andra and Atlas who seemed tense.
“ Actually what is your mind when doing this? ” Andra holds Atlas's shoulders back casually. “ It is not yet time that he has to remember everything to that extent.”
“ Lo know how it would be if he came back without knowing who he really is? ” other sounds are heard rising. The voice of a woman who is quite familiar in the ears of Ralin. A subtle sound that is a little similar to the sound of his screeching. “ Or without him knowing who he was in the past? ”
That's Celine's voice. What they're talking about actually. Whose past?
“ Wait until the time comes. ” Andra is seen patting Atlas's shoulder. “ At least until we know the truth behind his past? ” Andra glanced behind the curtains where Ralin lay unconscious. His gaze was filled with anxiety and worry. Also sadness and sadness.
“ I can't wait any longer. ” The gloomy shadow of a girl flashed through Atlas. The girl who spent most of her time with Andra for centuries. The girl who sacrificed her time, desire and desire just to find the figure in the body of Ralin. The girl reached out to him and asked for his help to seek happiness together.
Atlas brushed off Andra's hand from his shoulder and passed as fast as a gust of wind through the window beside the bed where Ralin lay. Seeing that, Ralin again pretended to be asleep. He did not want Andra and other Osis officials to know that he heard and saw whatever was happening in the UKS room right now.
“ Already many times... ” Celina breaks the silence that exists. As if trying to show something, Celine held onto Andra's shoulder and let Andra know something she was able to see several times by chance.
Celine shows some of Atlas's shadowy figure who is always trying to wake Ralin up from his long slumber. Using her memory control skills, Atlas tries to unlock each of Ralin's memory keys. Showing some of his memories with the figure of Andra in the past. Atlas who boldly pushed Ralin from the second floor with the intention of Andra showing her true identity to Ralin. And today, Atlas unlocks Ralin's dark memories by force. Showing the dark side where only the figure of Ralin in the past who knows the truth of what happened to him at that time.
“ I'm better. ” The sentence of Ralin instantly broke the concentration of Celine and Andra.
Nathan turned around and looked in wonder. From the beginning of waiting for Ralin to wake up from his stupor, Nathan was not aware of the presence of breathing in the room. Blood flow in each pulse and the sound of the heartbeat of Ralin was spared from his observation as soon as he entered the room with his friends. Even when he tried to listen and look for all the things that escaped his observation better, as if something was blocking it.
" You're sober? " andra asked him to break Nathan's concentration. He looked at Ralin closely until Celine taped her arm casually.
Seeming to breathe a sigh of relief seeing Ralin wake up from her stupor, Andra and Celine turned their heads towards him. The opening of curtains that limited them earlier. Andra smiled with relief seeing that Ralin had already opened her eyes and looked fine. He leaned against the outpatient table and just looked at Ralin. Nathan took off his thin glasses because he felt he had realized something strange but still looked calm by gently holding Celine's hand with both hands. Meeting face to face with Ralin, Celine's eye rays that emitted a golden color made Ralin amazed.
So pretty.
“ Finally realized too. ” welcome Celine. Replied by throwing a smile, Ralin leaned back in her nursing bed.
Instantly the wind gushed into the UKS room through the back window where Atlas darted away. There was a sense of longing blowing deeply within the room. Eve who entered as if teasing and turned her eyes to the three managers of Osis towards the outside of the window. Look right at the end of the hill beside the school building that stands firmly. Nathan raised his face a little. She smiled as she pulled Celine in her warmly welcomed embrace. Andra herself just kept quiet from her backrest as if she was enjoying the air of yearning that was brewing in the room.
“ You guys... really strange. ”gumam Ralin on the sidelines of him enjoying the air that blows.
“ May. ” Reply Celine.
“ But we never cared about it. ” Nathan timps for Celine's reply.
Participating in the breath of fresh air that entered, Ralin only stared at the three Osis managers who accompanied him during his time in the UKS room. Until a hand patted Ralin's head slowly.
First pat, Ralin riveted.
The second pat, Ralin recalled.
And a third clap, Ralin smiled.
“ Warm. ” murmured Ralin from behind his smile. He looked at Andra closely.
