Notes Without Title

Awakened

Let's rebuild what was destroyed, together, with a new sheet

° ° ° & Untitled Note °

The pain strikes from all sides. With the roar of lightning was the cry of the Sky that delivered a thin man woke up, the atmosphere felt gripping. Even among the sweetness of the stars in the night sky that shamelessly emit light, with a piano chair in the open room, is not able to get rid of the blasphemous stinging.

No longer a secret when the haunted building where the man woke up was always avoided by humans right at 4 pm. The man, Ghai, groaned as a warm touch through the tiny fingers of someone trying to resuscitate him.

"Gh-H. Hey, wake up." The man's cheek was pierced with his little fingers.

Ghai slowly opened his closed eyes, adjusting the pressure of the light entering his net. When the eyes are able to adjust, Ghai takes a sitting position.

"This, where? From the place I think I know this place well," said the man.

"Music arts department. I'm sorry, because at the time of the ginipun I still want to hug you," said the boy.

"Huh?" ask the man.

"I'm grateful you're alive. I thought you died because of me. Sorry yes." The fog began to be clearly drawn, imprinted on the netra of the interlocutor.

"Why cry?" ask the man who just woke up from his sleep.

"Hey midget, stop crying. He said it was old, but his nature was still childish. Do you want to make the same mistake twice?  Remember our agreement before, right? I was here before he came. So, I have to hurry," said a heavy-sounding voice of a man.

"Still dare to call me boy?! The creature of the mountains. Where there are death angels who want to transact with such curious spirits. How dare you threaten a handsome boy like me."

"Don't forget I'm still in charge of the contract we're under. Besides see who just didn't want to be called a kid?" said that heavy voice once again.

"That's two different things. Don't try to interpret it arbitrarily, I warn you once again. Stop calling me a midget and treating me like a kid."

"Of course it's two things that have the same understanding?" ask the heavy voice.

"Look who's stupid here. Oi, get out! You cuckoo, how dare you hide. Why did you even show up?"

"Make sure things don't get too messed up" he replied.

The question seems to come like a tidal wave ready at any time to drown. The two figures who were now there were not able to answer all the questions in Ghai's mind. Instead of answering, the two only increased the burden of Ghai's mind.

"Both of you, I think that's enough. Can you please explain what happened to me?" ask the man.

"I'm Derren, sorry to know myself so late. You know yourself? My attention was distracted" said the Dutch-Indo mixed-face boy.

"Derren?" ask the man who is trying to remember something that might be able to answer one of the thousands of questions in his mind.

"Yes, I'm Derren. You may forget, but soon you will know. Haven't seen you in a long time? Whenever I had the chance, I avoided it. Excuse me. Oh, I hate to say it, but don't hate that figure anymore. This time he really intends to fix everything" said Derren.

"That figure? Who?" ask Ghai.

"My answer, where am I? Why would I be here? What's my name?" ask Ghai who did not even find a bright spot about himself earlier.

"Invite with your conscience. I can't answer all the questions that look like those tidal waves, you know why? Because the only one who knows the answer is yourself right now. After all you guys were the first to trouble me. Don't blame me for what you're going through. One thing you should know, this is your only chance," said the heavy-voiced figure.

"I don't understand" said the man.

"Not to be understood then. You want to think logically even if you don't find the answer. Find it through your conscience. There will come a time when the answer comes by itself. Of course with effort! 

One more thing, it's not entirely his fault. So, forgive him. I know I'd hate it if you were me. Regarding the regret within you that is so great, it is quite difficult man! Huft, you also managed to make a transaction that really harmed me. " said the heavy-spoken figure again.

"Transaction?" ask Ghai.

"Hey, he's coming. I'll go first! Bye bye! Remember Derren, this is still our secret. You may have forgotten. I'm Ryan."

The owner of the heavy voice, Ryan, went somewhere. Derren seemed calm before he finally arrived a figure who had been talking to Ryan, maybe.

"I think you will be the most enthusiastic to welcome Ghai home" Derren said.

"I'm enthusiastic, there's just so much to take care of." Again, only sounds are heard. There was no form of it, but it could be known through his voice type that, the one who had just spoken was another boy.

"Now who else?"

"The most annoying creature in the universe. Sorry, I still hate you" Derren said.

"I know I wouldn't blame you. About your question, wait a little longer huh Ghai? I promise we will be friends again someday," said the figure again.

"Outside the rain, Abhiyoga Ghaitsa Mahawira" said the figure, smiling.

Out of nowhere, the pain came back when another voice came through his imaginary line. The soft-sounding voice of a middle-aged woman simply called out her son's name. Just a voice, yes, again just a voice. But now the question of his name has been answered.

"That's your name Ghai, don't forget. A name made especially with the affection of both your parents. Ghai, now let me tell you what rules you have while you're here.

First, don't ever get out of this building. If you go out, your figure will enter and get caught between the uncertain life and death dimensions, and I don't want you to get stuck there again. I'm trying to save you as long as you know," said the figure again."What the fuck is all this? Let me go home" Ghai said.

"This is your home now Ghai, I hope it's temporary. Sorry if I am evil, but the fact that you are no longer a human being who has a real form in the world, you are just a creature who has lost its direction and tried to solve his life problems that have not been completed. Some of you are still creatures without memory" said the figure again.

"Hey! What rule is that?! Why was he told to solve a problem, but he can't go out to break it all up. Isn't that the same as killing Ghai slowly?" ask Derren.

"Derren, don't be so clueless. Please do not bring our old habits. I promised to cooperate. It's too early to conclude an answer. Believe me, I don't want to make the same mistake, I'm not that cruel" the figure said.

"Sign down! That's not fair, no matter where you want to defend yourself. The facts about the previous events remain unchangeable."

"Derren, here is Ghai. We can't just say. You don't want the same thing to happen to Ghai, do you? I will continue to apologize even though I know I will never be forgiven, but I beg you, for this time just let's work together to improve everything" said the figure again.

Derren knew, he actually did not want to blame the figure further. Moreover, Derren also took the role of the misfortune they had to live. However, the wound remains wound. The fact of the broken heart from the scratches of the figure could never disappear completely.

"Could stop, I'm the only one who doesn't understand here. Do not put me on the drama 'love' you two," said Ghai while quoting the word romance with both fingers.

"Sorry Ghai" Derren said.

"sorry. This time I'll be more serious. Ghai, come sit down" said the figure.

Ghai did not know where he should sit, because Ghai felt he could not sit quietly in this situation. However, seeing Derren who also asked Ghai to sit down made the man take a position on the piano chair. Derren then walked closer and closer towards Ghai.

"The first rule I mentioned. I'm sorry, but I can't help you further if you break that rule. It's beyond my power. Then for the 2nd rule, you should not wander around and haunt students or students here, not anything, but know the more you judge someone your consciousness will be more and more taken," said that figure.

"Consciousness is taken away?" ask Ghai.

"That means you'll be a ghost. Ghosts that are ignorant and not perfect shape alias do not resemble humans. For example, the figure of a subtle creature that is feared by most humans," said Derren explained.

"Oh, okay. Is that just the rules?" ask Ghai.

"Yes, just that. Little bit? But, you have a task to solve the mystery that is able to bring you to this condition. Later, you will meet someone who holds the key to all your memories during life. I don't want to interfere more, I'll be more careful from now on. Same with you, Derren, please during this process, keep everything running smoothly, do not let the incident happen again" said the figure.

Derren stood there. Ghai was again upset because he did not understand all the conversations of the two creatures.

"Derren the same way I used to know each other?" ask Ghai.

The silence created, there was no answer to confirm Ghai's question. The figure diverts.

"You know best who Gha is, solve the mystery. You can only look at him at 4pm when it rains. Remember, all this, from the rules to your duties will change over time. If someone is able to see your figure earlier than 4 pm, it means that your time to solve the mystery of your own life is running low. This can also be proven by you who can start to step foot out of this building," said the figure.

"Aren't you being too mean in crafting this scenario?" ask Derren.

"I didn't make it up. We're running out of time. You know for yourself how hard it is to find ways to fix everything, Derren. Oh, every one of your memories come back you'll feel pain. Starting from buzzing ears, a spinning head, a rhythmic heart rate, and legs that lose focus. Don't fight, I know Ghai's a strong man. Instead, quickly find Derren when all those memories come back, because all that can take away the pain is just Derren and him. Once you deal with the pain, Ghai may lose his mind. So, Derren, I think you know what you're doing here" the figure said.

"Do you have any particular intention to punish me? Wandering Ghai in pain?" asked Derren sarcastically.

"Not punishing you, I told you I was just trying to fix everything, before I actually left. Stop thinking negatively of me, Derren, believe me this time I really want to improve, not damage. What are you worried about anyway? 'He' I've locked it, haven't I?" said that figure again.

Again, Derren stood petrified looking at the soft ceramics reflecting the warm moonlight in the cold night with the sound of rain as the square. On the other hand Ghai fell silent, he felt confused as to what step he should take next. Do you believe all the words that sound like a little boy's fairy tale? Or should he try to escape and run away from here?

Thinking of a logical way to bring himself to an answer is very frustrating. However, if everything that Derren had said were also the previous figures true, what does this mean that Ghai was at the end of the abyss? Or could it mean that Ghai was already inside the abyss itself?

"I warn you again. Your time is limited Ghai, so work hard. I don't want to see all the bitterness at the end of the story like before. I trust you Ghai, so let's fix everything one last time. Then I'll see you again," said the figure.

"J-so, am I dead?"
