Love From Space

14. Ghost Youth?

The next morning..

Tumben. Today Tio did not hurry to leave as usual. Even though the clock has shown at half-seven past.

As it turned out, Tio intended to depart together with Nura today.

"Tumben no nebeng to Heru?" Ask Nura then.

"Motor him again in the workshop," Tio replied briefly.

"Ooh. panties.."

For a moment, silence filled the atmosphere between the brothers. Until suddenly Tio again invited Nura to talk.

"Hey, Nur.." call Tio from behind.

"Mura! Not Nur, why?" Tegur Nura doesn't like it.

Tio chuckles. He knew for sure why Nura did not want to be called by the name Nur. Because it just so happens that their udzur neighbors are named Nur anyway. His call, Ninik Nur.

And, only about two months ago, he died. And Nura confessed that she had seen Ninik Nur the night she should have gone.

What a most frightening experience for her sister.

"Hehe. yes.. It's..!" Call Tio over.

"Hmm? Why?" Tanya Nura without looking back.

"The new kid in the big brother's class.."

Suddenly Nura turned her back. While walking backwards, the girl cut off Tio's speech.

"Ciee.. Tumben call brother? Usually too, oy! Woy! Aye! Aye! Hihihi!" Tempta Nura while grinning widely.

Tio replied by sticking out his tongue.

"Seriously so! Tentnag guy who is also a new kid in the class Brother.if you can, don't get too close to him yes, Ra!" Tio gave advice.

Nura's steps stopped. He then asked Bali to his sister.

"What's the matter, Yo?" Ask Nura later.

"Their problem..."

Flashbacks.

Tio was being hugged by Heru as usual, every time he wanted to go to school.

"Eh, stop by to Bang Tedi. Want to ask for my weekly ration," said Heru suddenly.

Heru is Tio's classmate. Their age is three years apart. Because Tio had experienced jumping up the class twice when he sat on the Junior High.

Heru himself is the youngest child of the long-dead Ayat-Adi couple. Heru now lives alone with her older sister, Bang Tedi. It's just that, Bang Tedi more often sleep in his motor workshop located not far from the city station before passing their school.

The weekly ration referred to by Heru was the meal money as well as the fare for the next week. Because Bang Tedi rarely went home to their parents.

"Yes already. But a spit yes. Do not let the train pass first. You will have to wait a long time, then you can pass the rail!" Tio's message to his sidekick.

"Siipp!"⁷

Heru also sped. And they made it to Bang Tedi's workshop before the train passed through the station.

Seeing the doorstop that was about to go down, Heru even speeded up and was about to pass through the rail before the doorstop was completely closed. Naas, suddenly the motor driven his difficulty when passing the rail. He also had a strike. Machine off!

Now the door bars are closing perfectly. And the sound of the train was heard approaching the station where Heru's motorbike broke down in the middle of the tracks.

Many people shouted at the two to get down immediately and get away from the train tracks. So that Tio immediately got off the bike and ran to the edge.

"R! Buruan unplug! The train is going through!" Shouted Tio among the shouts of people who were panicking with their presence on the rail body.

"But the cave motor, Yo!" Shouted Heru back.

Tio was upset. But he took the time to turn back to the right side. The distance of the car with them now only ranged less than a hundred meters approximately. Only a few seconds before the train bulldozed Heru who was still trying to carry his motorcycle that broke down.

"Take off Ru! The train is coming!" Shouted Tio in panic as well as being annoyed.

"Then his helpin dong cave, Yo!" Shouted Heru who looked more annoyed than afraid.

Immediately, Tio was about to advance, but his hand was held back by the guard of the carriage door.

"Don't come any closer, Deck! It's dangerous!" Reprimand the Guard reminded Tio.

"But my friend, sir!" Said Tio while pointing towards Heru.

Be late. The train is in a very close distance. Tio himself immediately retreated away from the rails, following the pull on his hands done by the Guardians of the doorstop.

Tio stared in horror at Heru who was still trying to pull his motor away from the rails. His best friend was like he was not aware that death had been very close to him.

When the train really passed, and bulldozed Heru motorbike and its owner, Tio immediately became limp and fell sitting on the edge of the rail.

"Gee!!" Shouted Tio with a heart-wrenching tone.

The young man wept for the tragic fate of his generous sidekick. Not expecting, if the end of Heru's life turned out to be on the rails that became his intermediary to the workshop of the brother.

"Gee!!" Shouted Tio again with a heart-wrenching voice.

His gaze was nilar staring at the point where Heru was. The point that is still passed by the express train that drove so fast.

And, when the train had passed, and the doorstop was lifted again, Tio rushed to where he had seen Heru just a moment ago.

He had imagined there would be a lot of blood puddles around. Or also the wreckage of Heru's motorbike that was blown by the car. But it turns out he found nothing.

It was the doorstop guard who then surprised Tio by shouting and pointing in one direction on the far side of the doorstop. It looks like Heru's motorbike has been damaged by being hit by the express train earlier.

The damage is pretty severe. Because the handlebar of his motor even to bent.

Tio approached where Heru's motor was. But strangely he did not also find Heru's body everywhere. Together with the Cross Guard, Tio went down the outskirts of the train, to look for traces of Heru's whereabouts. Her darling. They really don't find Heru anywhere.

Until then, suddenly Tio caught the image of two young men in white gray uniforms like him. Both were behind the crowd who had come to see Heru's badly damaged motorbike.

One of the young men was holding the shoulder of another young man who was like he was sitting on the ground. What astonished Tio was, he was very well acquainted, the young man who was sitting on the ground. Because he is Heru.

"Gru!" Pekik Tio rushed to run towards where his comrade was sitting limp with a very pale face.

While running, Tio's gaze was lifted and looked at the other young man who seemed to have saved Heru. But something beyond reason happened.

Not two seconds had passed when both eyes looked at the foreign youth, suddenly the young man disappeared. Tub swallowed by the wind.

Yep. The young man had actually disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he was a ghost only!
