The sky of Jakarta looks cloudy. Thick dark clouds dominate, giving the impression of gray at the beginning of the rainy season this year. Merri with a careless step tried to encourage himself to act ordinary. He didn't want people at school to notice him. But, the dream
what he got last night still looms in his mind. The girl in the room
ICU and the terrible creature that swallowed his soul. Merri does not want to go back to that place again.
“Why am I asexial?” he hit his forehead slowly.
“That's your destiny, accept it. It's your destiny, accept it
destiny, accept. That's your destiny, accept it.”
Merri received a whisper that was mutual. The voice was very close, like someone whispering in his earlobe. When he
looking left and right, there was no one. Except, a figure who kept standing near the flagpole. The same figure, who had been in love with him since he first came to this school.
Unwilling to have a match with the creature, Merri immediately accelerated his footsteps towards the classroom. But there is something more
surprise awaits him. In class, he was greeted with a view
different ones. A bouquet of white flowers and white greeting cards arranged
neat on his desk.
Is this the tradition of this school? thought Merri. He felt awkward with the unusual welcome. Not lingering, thought Merri
it'll change soon. When he picked up the white enveloped letter, it was written MIKHA's name, not his name.
"Ooo Micah." he remembered this bench he had occupied before in Micah's place.
Merri put the letter in its original place. Although do not understand what is the purpose behind this bouquet of white flowers. Merri admired the beauty of the flower. There might be other students who secretly have a crush on him.
When Merri turned his head around, he saw no one but the student sitting in the back corner who was still one row with him.
Merri wanted to ask him about this flower, he did not want any misunderstanding later with the giver of flowers.
“Excuse me, do you know who this flower is?” he started to catch the student. Students who sit
it still lowered its head. It seemed like he was reading a textbook that he had opened on his thigh.
“Sorry, do you know who flowers there?” Merri tried to question him again.
Silent.
The girl just looked down. Merri walked over to get closer to him. But his steps immediately came to a halt as he looked at the tagname in
the schoolgirl uniform was written the name “MIKHA.”
“Ooo you Micah, sorry, I sat on your bench yesterday. You can sit there, I'll use another bench.” Merri.
“Merri, you were there too?”
Merri immediately looked in front of the class. Arinda was already standing there. Merri saw Arinda also carrying a bouquet of colorful flowers
whites. With a sad looking face, Arinda placed the bouquet on the table
same. Arinda closed her eyes for a moment. A single tear dripped down his cheek.
After a minute of conspiracy, he opened his eyes, as Merri had seen, Arinda had just prayed.
"But for what?" thought Merri in the heart.
“Mikha..” Merri was about to show if Micah was here. But Merri's mouth immediately silenced as he turned his head on the desk of the back bench. That there's nobody there. The girl is missing. Only then did Merri realize that what just wasn't
the humans.
“Yes, Micah, all this time he's been sitting on this bench.he's my best friend I.” Arinda explained with a still sad face.
“Why with him?” ask Merri. His eyes continued to glance behind the empty bench.
“I don't know. Last night I got word that he was cured, but suddenly his illness was frayed. Her parents took her in the hospital, but that night in turns last night she.” Obviously Arinda, the tears fell back and wet his cheeks.
"This flower was originally to celebrate if he could go to school again. But it turns out to be a hyx. It's a parting flower!" Arinda shed tears. It is clear that Arinda was devastated by Micah's departure.
Merri could not say anything. A pandora's box opened in his mind. A shadow appeared. Last night's incident. A girl who
in tormenting creepy creatures until the creature swallowed it. Merri. It
look at the empty bench behind her, the student with a name named MIKHA sat down
and staring. His pale face, was exactly the same as the patient he saw last night.
"I'm not dead yet...!" whispered the creature with a hoarse voice.

The sky roars today. Let go of moo
it is in the form of an unclear. Lightning continued to strike, making the city sky look even darker, as if he was threatening the humans with
his prowess. Under that hostile sky, Micah's body was
bury. All of his classmates were present to see the funeral. That day, their homeroom teacher empties the study schedule to see Micah one last time.
Comparable to the thrashing and sad sky, the view at the cemetery also looks the same. Arinda, Karin, Fitri and Tito see how the Mother of Micah, Auntie
Ira roars. He was not sincere and kept crying. He even struggled when the body
it began to be covered in burial ground.
“MIKHA. Mama doesn't want to split with you.” Raung Aunty Ira's. “MiKha... Micah's awake... Micahaa...!” aunt Ira
even held by two people so as not to damage the funeral process.
Her husband, Mr. Randi also held back and hugged his wife. He looked sad, but with attitude
mature, he tries to be more rational.
“Ira, the dead will not live again. Release Micah, sincerely yes..!” he tried to calm his childish wife.
“But Pah... Micah is not dead, Micah is not dead..!!” the face is very sure. He was struck, but turned his face away from the reality that seemed in plain sight.
“TIDAAAAKKK!!!” Aunt Ira still insists. The eyes of Arinda and her friends were heartbreaking.
They had met some of Micah's parents. During their lives, they played with the deceased. Micah is a simple and cheerful boy. In class he is also an active and smart child. Especially when the lessons are related to the count. Sometimes before the test
math daily, Arinda and friends like to study with Micah at his house. Aunt Ira senan tiasa make snacks such as fried food or steamed sponge cake so that her son's guests feel at home.
Look at Micah who suddenly left and Aunt Ira
which is not sincere, makes their hearts slit. A little bit of them are also guilty. That feeling also made them cry.
“Mikha, sorry we didn't see you too often in the hospital.” Fitri spoke in a small voice. He sobbed. Arinda hugged Fitri. Karin, who also had no power, embraced her two friends.
Tito lowered his head, he held back from breaking the dam of tears that were mounting in both of his eyeballs. But the deepest pain, the feeling
huge regret, the dam broke, Tito shed tears.
Some of my classmates felt the same way.
The cry of the cemetery was greeted by an abundance of rainwater that soaked the land of sirah. Prayers chanted and strong winds greeted him harshly, as if they were resisting. But then again, man is just busy with his sadness. Unaware that something strange has happened to the poor girl
wrapped in the shroud. When the body has been planted in the ground, then all the affairs in the world have ended. But not for the MIKHA case.

Away from outside the funeral door, Merri notices the grief on the bus. He did not dare to go down. One eye is glaring
dark shadow there with red eyes. He sat on Micah's funeral,
smiling triumphantly, dancing on Micah's grave. That figure, figure
the same thing he saw in the hospital. He who swallows Micah, he who makes
Micah underwent an unnatural saccharat of death. And he also made Merry did not dare to go out and attend the funeral ceremony.
“You know, I shouldn't be dead.”
Merri looked to the side. The student with Tagname Mikha sat next to him. That long unraveling black hair made him look very scary in Merri's eyes.
“Dia.” The student pointed out the window, right at the funeral, “She took my life.”
Merri looked out. He saw that creepy figure. This time the figure was following where the family group wanted to go
leaving tomb.
.
.
.
“Mikha hurts what?” ask Merri to Tito.
All the students were back on the school bus and on their way home. Arinda still looks mourning. He sat down with Fitri
still crying too. Karin looks more stoic trying to strengthen her two friends. While Tito who sat in the back seat and happened to sit beside Merri just daydreamed while turning his phone.
Feeling talked to, Tito inserted his hanphonen. He saw Merri's pale face.
“Tails Tipes.” Answer Tito. “She's a month ga in.” Tito continued, his voice sounding trembling. “One month unconscious.” Tito's eyes are back
glazed.
Karin approaches Tito and Merri. “Udah, you don't cry. Many prayers for Micah.” Karin patted Tito's shoulder slowly.
“But strangely, a month in the hospital, in a coma, the doctor said he was typhoid symptoms right.” A student raised his voice. Nametag
he mentioned his name Agus. “But you know that Micah was conscious and brought home?” agus continued.
"meaning?" ask Karin. All eyes were on the student named Agus.
"Mikha was conscious, then his father asked him to be treated at home so that he could be more noticed again and close to the family. Strangely, a day at home, Micah suddenly convulsed and hot high, he was taken to the hospital and immediately on that day Micah died in the ER room." explained Agus.
"That means Micah hasn't been a hundred percent cured dong?" ask Karin. Arinda and Fitri are also interested in listening. Arinda also received the same news.
"Yes it seems, but even stranger. At the same time the efforts of his father Micah also developed." this time Agus got a strange gaze response from his friends.
"What's the connection to try the disease as his father's resto efforts?" Karin asked a question, she could not accept Agus's story that impressed him in the making.
“Soalya my sister kariawan there too. It was just a small place to eat. Got five kariawan, kept in a short time got five
tens of kariawan trus open branches everywhere. The entire island of Java tau time resto
duck burn Micah's father. That's deep
instant time, it's weird.” Agus.
“But it has nothing to do with kali.” disease Karin was confused.
“That's my opinion. Lagian cave wonder why people coma until a month, and doctors do not know the cause. Then suddenly wake up. Then suddenly convulsions. Trus three days ago one of the workers at Micah's parents' house was also possessed. According to
reportedly the incoming ghost terrorized Mr. Randi, they asked for tumbal.” Agus.
“Ih, which horror stories do you read?” ask Karin.
“Gue has said, my brother has worked there, ga ga ga ngarang.” Agus was adamant about his opinion.
The other students who heard started to make a noise, boisterous. They believed Agus' words. Though it makes no sense, there is at least talk
exclamation that will definitely horrendous High School Kasanova.
"Surely a prank." murmured Arinda. Fitri nodded in agreement.
“Both of you, if there is no more chat
quality, better silence only.” The order of bu Tatum that makes the mouth of a busy student berweleran tightly closed.
Merri rested her body back. He was glad that no one had hinted at Micah's death. Agus was right, Micah's death was not
beseem. Someone has attacked him unfairly. He knows who will be responsible for this. The problem is, Merri does not know how
facing him, currently being silent and acting ignorant was the best and safest path for him.
