The next day Dirga entered school as usual. The class had started but the seat next to it was still empty. He waited for the presence of Raneea who might be late even though the girl was never late. One subject was over, but the mania girl never showed her nose.
“Maybe he permission because there is one need.” Inner Dirga while staring at the empty seat on his left then switch staring at the board again.
During the lesson he lacked focus and was still thinking about Raneea. He was reminded of the sword-shaped brooch and also the shadow of the black figure that was currently following the girl.
“Kevin did you know what happened to Raneea yesterday. Do you know that black shadow figure who chased after him yesterday ?” dirga asked softly while staring at the empty chair next to her which was now occupied by Kevin. Meanwhile Kevin did not reply he looked towards her and disappeared instantly to look for information.
Moments later he came back and sat down again in Raneea's chair which made Dirga shocked because of his sudden appearance when he was seriously working on mate-matika.
“How.... what... do you know something?” looking at Kevin who shook his head with a frightened face.
“What's up... do you know something and hide it from me?” dirga asked in a normal voice that made the friend in front of her look back with a suspicious look. He immediately pretended to do something so Billy wouldn't suspect him. After Billy doesn't watch her anymore, he puts his pencil down and looks back at Kevin.
“Danger... The child is not here anymore. Can't see who's after him and where he is now. Don't look for him..” After saying so Kevin instantly disappeared with a frightened face. He seemed to know something but did not reveal it to Dirga.
“Wait first. Wait... What do you mean?” But Kevin did not come back again and Billy and friends on the left row of benches turned to him which made him look back at his book and try to work on the problem that he had not finished, although his mind is now diverted to Raneea.
Three days passed and until this second the chair that used to sit on the sweet girl was still empty. He still does not believe in the friend he considers his best friend is still not showing up at school. And no friend would sit next to him. The seat was empty and Kevin was seated.
Dirga waited for the lesson to end and all his friends had gone home. When the class was empty and Miss Lily wanted to leave the class, she stopped the teacher's footsteps.
“Bu Lily sorry. These days Raneea is not going to school. Where is he?” dirga asked curiously mixed in worry.
“Raneea...? He moved out of town because his father was moved to work out of town.” replied Bu Lily took off her glasses and left them hanging around her neck.
“But Ma... but why is it so sudden and there is no notification ? In addition he has not said goodbye to all friends..”.
“His father Raneea was a special forces officer in the military. So at any time get a sudden task and must be ready at any time to carry out the task given.” replied Bu Lily by moving the eyeball to the right and then staring blankly outwards. Dirga knew what Miss Lily said was a lie from her gaze earlier and she was sure that something was hidden by her teacher.
“Sorry Mom really doesn't know where Raneea moved to. And there's still something I have to do now. If there is nothing more to ask, Mother goes first.” put back on the glasses that were hanging on the neck and walked quickly leaving him before any further questions. Because he has promised not to tell anyone the address of his move before. Dirga limped out of class after not getting information from her teacher.
“I'm sure he's still in this area, somewhere. Why are you so mysterious. Why.I'm the one your friend just doesn't know who you are. Who are you..” ran to the school gate because he saw that mom was waiting for him. He got into the car and sat looking at the road from the windshield.
“What's wrong with you son, why do you look so sad? Is your friend bothering you again? Tomorrow we just change schools then.” asked Elsa who could feel the sadness that emanated on her face.
“No ma, no one bothers me..” he replied smilingly looking at Elsa. “Then what makes you sad?” slow down the speed of the car and can not wait for answers to slide from the lips of his son
“Raneea... Raneea... she suddenly moved out of town and has not been bidding me.” Elsa's face seemed confused by the name of the child she called it. As long as he's his son doesn't have a friend named that.
“She's the girl who always plays with me. He always walked me to the gate when Mom picked me up. Mama remember right?” Dirga made it clear that his mother remembered. But he saw the face of his mother who was still confused.
“Which little girl, son ? As far as I go every time you go home, you always walk alone no little girl do you mean that?” elsa replied that made Dirga look shocked to hear him and swallowed.
Elsa thinks her son is hallucinating as usual. So he did not continue his words. Meanwhile Dirga was confused to realize that reality. For him Raneea was real, a human figure the same as himself. Because other friends also often chat with the girl, even Miss Lily also knows the real figure of Raneea is not a spirit. He was sure it wasn't his imagination. And he'll prove why you can't see the presence of the girl.
“So who exactly is Raneea. Who is he, why he is more mysterious and makes me confused.” recalls all his memories with his friend.
A few days passed but Dirga was still curious about his friend. He recalled the strange brooch that had fallen down and he found. Suddenly he remembered his father's reading room. His father loved to read the literature of ancient history of various worlds and had a large collection of books on various histories.
“Maybe I can find a clue. A clue that could uncover it.” immediately ran into the reading room and stopped in front of the large collection of bookshelves. He walked to one shelf and headed to the other and stopped at a bookcase where there was a history book about an ancient civilization.
Dirga read one by one the title of the book and then took one thick red-bound book from the bookshelf.
What's in that book? Follow the story in the next episode.
