(Lake Mary)

I prefer this lake when my heart is troubled.

"Hey, why is your face like that?" tanya Darling surprised me.

"When are you here?" I asked back, as I remembered, he wasn't there.

"From now on, before you came" he said, looking at the lake.

"When did you know me? Em, I mean since when do you know about me?"

"From the first time you tried to help me," he replied again. I don't think I've ever met him, how can I help him?

"Help you?" I frowned, trying to remember but still I never felt like I was helping her.

"Yes, five years ago. When my body was stiffened, didn't you help me?" Look at me and smile.

Helped her? Five years ago? It took me a while to digest every word.

"Ah, yes, I seem to have helped someone. But I don't remember it very much."

Faint five-year memory, imagined like a puzzle piece. Still I can't remember.

"I'm sorry, I forgot" I replied.

My memory is bad. Ah, that's not important to me.

"What happened to you, five years ago?" my connection back.

"I'm dead! They killed and dumped my body in this lake, "he replied flatly without expression.

"They? Who're they? Do you know him? And, why did they kill you?" cercak.

He also told me everything.

Name's Maria. Not as dear as he said. Basic crazy woman.

"I was killed just because of my father's legacy. They're all greedy!" his voice sounded vengeful.

"Who are they? Is your father still alive?" manya curious.

"They are my stepmother and her child. My father doesn't care about me, he prefers that woman over his own son" he replied.

"I'm sorry, yeah, you remember the painful thing,"

"Before they dumped me into this lake, I was still alive ...," he said.

It hurts, remembering intentionally.

"I beg their forgiveness to let go, the more rebellious they are the more savagely torturing me."

So tormented is this woman, not much different from me.

"Then, is that why you're still in this world?" ask her.

"Yes. When we die, we'll be trapped and locked up in that place as long as someone takes his place."

"I don't understand, you mean? How long are you gonna stay here?"

Maria breathed out harshly.

"So then, maybe until someone replaces me" the answer confused me.

"Try explaining, I really don't understand what you're talking about!" pissed me.

"So gini. I died drowned, didn't I?"

"Then?"

"So, I have to find a replacement soul so I can be free."

"Ah, I don't understand! Explain it more easily!" I said annoyedly, already knowing my brain was a lot of burden.

"If anyone dies by suicide on that tree, yes," his hand pointed to a large tree near the lake.

"Then he will forever be confined to that tree, until a new soul replaces him there. Did you get here, you understand?" ask her gently.

"Huf! The way, yes, inciting humans to commit suicide is also in the tree. Just like he died before." This time, the explanation made me understand a little.

"Oh, it turns out like that, anyway?" I answered with a nod of my head.

"So, how long was your soul locked up in that lake?" ask again.

"Until I find a new soul, that dies exactly like me."

"Why don't you just instigate humans to escape this lake?"

"I don't want to add to sins. I could have instigated a human being who was in a lot of trouble, in order to be free from this lake. But I don't want to."

"What's the reason? Aren't all ghosts the same, huh? Evil and always make people sin?" my words are full of emotion.

Mary laughed, not knowing what she was thinking.

I thought back to Roni and Metta, they wanted my death for the sake of treasure.

"What's your own plan then?" tanyakanya.

"Come away, Brother-in-law and my lover, they want me dead" I said softly.

"Oh, yeah, why can't I remember what happened five years ago, huh?" connect again.

I wonder why I can't remember anything.

"The color when you helped me, you had a bump in the head," Maria smiled so sweetly at me.

"Thank you, yes, at that time I wanted to thank you. But you can't see or hear my voice" he said, staring at the lake.

"Even though I was lifeless, I was very happy. At least someone still cares about me,"

"Since then, I've been following you wherever you go."

"really? Is my hero's soul that big?" I laugh at myself when I imagine helping someone.

"When Metta was planning to kill you I knew, I tried to interact with you but failed to continue. You can't feel my presence."

"Here you go, I don't want to talk about that woman."

It was only fitting that I felt like someone was following, watching and touching me while I was asleep.

"Now what do you want?" ask Maria.

"I don't know what my fate will be. I feel sorry for Sister Vania" I replied, I never knew God's way either.

"Do you still want to survive?" ask again.

"Survive from what?" I asked back.

"If you can still live, keep on surviving and fighting. Don't be like me, locked up like this."

"Look at your brother, he keeps fighting for you to survive. Even with the help of tools. At least you're not like me."

"I'll definitely be aware of my long sleep. And avenge all that Metta did!" my words are full of grudges and emotions.

"If your heart is filled with such grudges, how could you recover so quickly?"

So moved by Maria's words, how could she possibly speak like that? He is not like any other ghost.

"Aren't you vengeful for your stepmother and brother?"

"No. Not a bit more revenge. I used to be vengeful and tried to avenge all their deeds. But for what? I was just constantly consumed by anger. My energy is getting worse later."

"Waw, recently I witnessed myself a good ghost, also beautiful ...," I replied spontaneously.

Maria just smiled shyly, actually it was not a compliment on purpose. Maria is so graceful in her white dress.

Her hair was long black, a white dress covered her legs. Well-favoured. His eyes were sad, behind the laughter were stored thousands of wounds. Sweet smile. Ah, what's wrong with me?

Forgive Metta? Don't expect me to apologize to him! But on the other hand, I still love him.

Do I have to forgive her like Maria apologized for the people who killed her?

If God gives me a chance to come back to life, I want to change all my selfishness.

It's possible that all this time, many have been hurt by my words. Forgive me, Lord ....
