The awakening of a forgotten mystery
° ° ° & Untitled Note °
"J-so I'm dead?!"
"I know this is difficult to digest, but the person in front of you is both a ghost" said Derren.
"But I haven't turned it off yet?" ask Ghai.
"Hmm, it might indeed be too weak to say dead, but you are also really weak to say alive. If it is about my existence, it should not be questioned anymore," said Derren with a sad face.
"You, my ghost?" ask Ghai.
Derren immediately held onto his chest that had just been pierced by a 2-eyed dagger. His pride as a ghost was almost tarnished. Come on, Derren doesn't have degrees that low. After all, the condition of his body is good, even resembling a human, just that his skin does look pale as the biggest differentiator.
"You still don't know what a ghost is? It's okay, I'll explain again. I am not a wandering spirit, those who are wandering are ghosts who have the lowest caste among other ghosts. A wandering spirit means those who lose their minds and end up disturbing humans with imperfect limbs. So, don't call me that again. It hurt my pride" Derren said.
"Oh, I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. I'm just confused, this is all I still can't accept with common sense" Ghai said.
"I hate to admit it enough, but the figure's words were true. I'll help you, so feel free to ask. I'm the same you were raised for a purpose, so we both have a mission" Derren said.
"So you're like me?" ask Ghai.
"Yep" replied Derren.
"Suspicious" Ghai said.
"What is suspicious? Udah ah, mending to my room now," Derren enthusiastically asked.
"Where?" ask Ghai.
"It's still in the building. Come, I give you a small tour house to welcome you," said Derren.
Two hours have passed. This building is actually not that wide until it takes 2 hours to explore. Had Derren not stopped every 5 minutes when he met another ghost, maybe now both Ghai and Derren can rest there. Most of those who were spoken to by Derren were ready to say goodbye, he said it was time for them to go up there.
Either because of a long time being a ghost or how, Derren looks to assume everything there is his own family. Derren often holds them one by one accompanied by crying, especially to those whose time is no longer long.
"What is your room so far? The feeling is not sampe-sampe," said Ghai who began to feel saturated.
"Prophe Ghai. We just roamed this building about 30% loh! Are you bored again?!" ask Derren.
"So, we just walked a little?!" ask Ghai.
"Yes, hehehe. Yes sorry, because I am busy chatting and parting with other ghosts you have to do this tour for a long time. Try to think deh Gha, we ghosts are just like humans, equally tied to each other. Every relationship is precious, so I appreciate them all. Just like you decided to go back. It's all worth it."
Ghai was a little distracted hearing that. I don't know, every time Derren flaunts a row of his wisdom teeth, it always feels fun and painful at the same time.
"I don't think I ever thought relationships were important in life" Ghai said, inviting a sigh of relief from Derren.
"Eii, come. I know you well Ghai. Humans socialize as well as people like us, humans need someone to fill their day together. Not always in a romantic context! Could it be a friendship, or maybe a lot stronger? Like family. We all have it for as long as we live, that's for sure. It was all present to treat the sense of desolation. So, I also felt sad because they were already willing to go ahead of me. I mean, they were my friends for as long as I was here and parting with them was as painful as losing something precious" Derren said. His face turned sad, his eyes no longer sparkled.
"Friends?" ask Ghai.
"Yes, like you and me. We're buddies! Ekhem, let me correct, we're best friends" said Derren with a few headbands to correct his speech errors.
Ghai smiled, his heart feeling warm. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, Ghai doesn't care. Knowing that, he was not lonely during the odd missions was enough.
"Sweet, but you're not this kind of me. Is it because your memory hasn't returned completely huh?" derren monologue.
Ghai secretly heard it, only he was lazy to bring it up. Instead of asking, Ghai smiled.
"Have a hand to help dong."
"Yes, yes."
Derren continues his house tour journey with Ghai on the side. Derren who acts as a tour guide always explains the history of each room with a tone that always sounds enthusiastic. Derren also never forgot to introduce Ghai to other residents.
"Well! Now my room!" derren.
"The name is also house tour ! Yes, it must be the route he took," said Derren.
Honestly Ghai is upset, but he cannot be angry at Derren, considering that it was Derren who was instrumental in preventing the possibility of Ghai getting lost inside the building itself in the future. Picking a silence, Ghai then follows Derren from behind.
"My room is in the hallway, privacy. My room is a closed piano rehearsal room" Derren said.
"Why closed?" ask Ghai.
"They said it anyway, haunted," said Derren with a sad look that was difficult to interpret.
"That's enough to be proof that you are a ignorant ghost" Ghai said with a slanted smile.
"Have a son! I'm not ignorant of you!" derren.
"Masa? Hahahaha," Ghai was delighted to tease Derren.
"Ck, let's sneak inside" Derren said.
Derren then penetrated through the door. Ghai who saw it tried to open the door first and entered the room in a normal way.
"Almost I wonder why you can hold things. Ghai! try to get in the piercing way like me. Yummy loh! I think it's cool, that's what it feels like" Derren said.
"Son, I still can't be ordinary with such things. Oh, Derren, I'd like to ask you a question. Do you know why that figure put us in a place like this?" ask Ghai.
"There's a reason for Ghai so, don't be afraid, 'there will be me here, '" Derren said.
"Why am I supposed to love us?" ask Ghai.
"Eii, you should be grateful! You are still included as a middle-caste ghost," said Derren.
"Middle caste?" ask Ghai.
"Yes, so in this dimension of ours, we have 3 castes. Low caste, middle, equal top. The lower caste is the ghost caste, while the middle caste is the ghost caste that has no memory, and the highest caste is those who are able to have their memories during their lives" said Derren.
"Oh, so that's it." Ghai then nodded his head repeatedly.
"Still curious about something else?" ask Derren.
"Do all ghosts have the same rules as me?" ask Ghai.
"For that matter, only those who experience resurrection have rules. Gini-gini, easy, when someone dies, their spirit still sets itself on earth. Well, for those who have regrets usually they will experience what is called 'awakening'. This resurrection happened as an opportunity for them to be able to solve all the problems of his life, in short, the problems that make them regret.
To prevent clashes between universes, those who are resurrected have their own rules. The rules that belong to those who experience resurrection vary, they are created based on the form of regret, or the last moment, or also related to the delinquency he practiced, he said, or the last because of his punishment for what he did against the way the universe worked.
Not a few of the people who like it ended up being a ghost because they felt his sin was unforgivable. They are against what needs to be fixed, what they have done, and what happens to them because they feel unfair. Well, because you are among the spirits who are still looking for answers from all your regrets. You are still experiencing the first resurrection.
There are stages of resurrection. The first resurrection is the time of the spirit without memory. The second awakening is the time when the spirit has gained all its memories in life and is given the option to correct or infatuate the consequences of its regrets. The third awakening is the time when the spirit returns to the afterlife" Derren said at length.
"Long huh? So I'm just about to experience the first resurrection?" ask Ghai.
"Yes" replied Derren.
"Continue if you? You how? Are you also a spirit who is experiencing resurrection? If so, what are your rules?" ask Ghai.
Derren's eyes suddenly looked empty. A little, there are secrets that Derren kept from Ghai. Like the real resurrection only experienced by those who do transactions with the angel of death. On the other hand, Ghai silently waited for a response from Derren, because he felt sore at last he took a position sitting on the floor close to Derren.
"I have rules too. Different from you, you want to know?" asked Derren who now began to review his smile that had disappeared a while ago.
"Yes" replied Ghai.
"Okay, my rules are...
