... Pretty weird rule."
Ghai tilted his head when he heard Derren's reply. Derren then chuckled at the reaction the friend gave him.
"Before I tell you, come on, Ghai! Stop being a stiff ghost! You can't keep putting on a flat face like that. Later, your savior is afraid to see you first HAHAHAHA," said Derren who is now immersed in his own fantasy.
Ghai chuckled at the strange expression Derren let out. I don't know what imagination comes to the head of the boy before him to the point that he needs to put out such a laughable expression. The good thing for Ghai all of that is able to eliminate the bad impression of the word ghost which is now his identity indirectly.
"What are you not stiff? Speak sometimes using standard language, sometimes using non-standard language," said Ghai.
"Well, you realize? I really wanted to look wise that way. It's just hard to use the default language."
"Njoke huh? Boy like you want a smart ass fall kayak a grown-up know, hahahaha." Ghai laughed loosely at Derren who started to wrinkle his face.
"Have a son! We're about the same age as tau!" derren Protest.
"We? An age? You are no more than my waist, hahahaha."
Suddenly the light came. Derren turns into a ghost who is the same age as Ghai. Ghai was surprised, of course.
"A ghost has that kind of power?!" ask Ghai.
"Why, cool me down?" derren asked as he puffed his chest and rubbed his nose so proudly.
"Hahaha, yes yes. By the way are all ghosts the same as you?" ask Ghai.
"meaning?"
"I," replied Ghai.
"Maybe? All this time I've always met a stiff ghost once I experienced my first awakening, just one. Just a different one." Derren's face was no longer colored, turning gray all of a sudden.
Ghai noticed something strange when Derren's voice stopped there. Ghai then raised his head which he had submitted in an effort to see the details of the wooden floor used in the room. Noticing the change in Derren's facial water sitting not far from him.
"Why?" ask Ghai.
"Oh yes! Where to start, huh? I think before I get into my rules, I'll tell you how the origin of our house is required to close at 4 pm" said Derren.
"Oh, so because of that. It's only right that this place looks lonely from earlier," said Ghai who was met with a sweet smile by Derren.
"Everything started from the suicide of a student who excels in the field of music arts, students are also students here believe that the death of the student managed to bring disaster that came to 3 students majoring in the music arts of this campus," said Derren.
Ghai began to take all of Derren's words seriously. Soon Ghai further shortened the distance between the two.
"Blowjob is beautiful, but a victim of bullying. At first he was just like you, a ghostly figure experiencing a resurrection. I was there to guide the student and I failed. His memory is not controlled and that makes him lose his mind. He begins an act of revenge on the perpetrator of the bullying related to his case. Three people were killed, including two bullies, who died at the hands of the invisible student" Derren said.
"How did they both get killed?" ask Ghai.
"He's pretty cruel. The first victim died because the student pushed the victim from the stairs and his efforts succeeded in matahin the neck of the first victim, the incident took place at 4 pm. Then, the second victim died by falling after being confined for hours in the woman's toilet, again in the same way a broken neck, and the incident again took place at 4 p.m," derren.
"Then the third victim?" ask Ghai.
"... That was the height of my failure. Because of my stupid rules, someone got killed again. Again because I'm a weak ghost, a human being is a victim of my fault" Derren said.
"What does that mean?" ask Ghai.
"A student became a victim of a collision due to the driver who was possessed by the student. Want to know why the answer? The answer to why I always fail to save the victim from the student action. Because I turn into a weak ghost when exposed to sunlight, I can't hold something, walk, also seen even by fellow ghosts when the sunlight hits my body. A stupid rule that someone gave me in charge of keeping all the ghosts in this place and waiting for someone to come" Derren said.
Ghai was silent at Derren's statement. Ghai was no longer able to comment on Derren's story. Just ask in doubt, let alone talk and comment.
"Truly rules, right?" ask Derren.
"Who?" ask Ghai.
"What?" ask Derren who seems to not understand the meaning of Ghai's question.
"Who's the giver of this rule?" ask Ghai.
"The same person" replied Derren.
"The same guy? Who's that student?" ask Ghai. The look in Derren's eyes changed, either because he was hiding something, either because of the guilt that came again.
"Danner. Just one word from 3 beautiful word series about his name," said Derren.
"You, like Anais huh?" asked Ghai with a ruckus.
"What the hell all of a sudden?!" asked Derren with cheeks that were now meeting.
"So, where's Anais now?" ask Ghai.
"I'm just nanya. There is no feeling of fear at all" Ghai said as he rolled his eyes.
"Oh, time? Not afraid to think how crazy Anais to the point of confessing to the 3rd murder of a human figure?" ask Derren.
"Don't he have a reason? Apart from his momentary uncontrollable emotions and his mistakes regarding taking away one's life. I think the bullies deserve the reward" Ghai said.
"But they didn't kill Anais, so doesn't that mean Anais took too extreme a step?" derren.
"They didn't physically kill Anais, but they managed to destroy Anais from the inside. Isn't that the worst part? Torture when it ends in life will end up being traumatized, but torture that ends in death will end up being a wound for the torturer. I also do not condone Anais' actions. I'm just concerned about Anais about her life" Ghai asked.
"But, Anais kills and removes everyone's most precious treasure. Lifespan. That's the worst thing among all the others. Even you know, God hates the actions of his creatures who hurt themselves as well as other creatures. Every individual's self is valuable, no matter how bad their identity is, they deserve to live as long as they try to improve their past and learn through mistakes.
Just like those who have many failures in their lives, it does not mean that failure is what makes them a failed person who does not deserve to live. Life is about choosing, so people fail is a choice, not because we fail a lot. They can't always be down by the past because there is a future waiting" Derren said.
"What was that other form of wise-ass from a Derren? Or maybe you're actually 100 years old?" ask Ghai.
"It's not! I'm gini because you continue to justify something that I think is wrong" Derren replied.
"I'm not saying, I don't condone Anais' actions. I'm just showing that I feel sorry for him" Ghai said.
Derren fell silent as soon as he heard Ghai's words. They were swept away in a silence that did not last long enough. Derren said after closing his eyes for a few seconds.
"I am too naive. I trusted my mind so much that I changed everything."
"What does that mean? Derren, you like to play puzzles, right?! I am a ghost who has just woken up. The memory I have is probably just an uphill chunk next to your tons of gold. So stop playing puzzles," Ghai said.
"I'm not playing a riddle! I'm just the truth story. Anyway, that's the origin of the 4pm rule. The point is don't ask me again about this later, because I don't want to have to give another clarification again," said Derren.
Ghai then chuckles when the sound of a bang issued through the meeting between Derren's distinctive shoe sole and the wooden floor where Ghai is sitting is now a strange tone that is good enough to be heard. Derren who saw it was ready to blaspheme Ghai.
"Ck! Ghai, you know what?! You did it for me to reveal many secrets that I've been keeping all this time!" derren.
"Well, isn't it good? Your burden's lifted a little bit, isn't it?" ask Ghai.
"But about Anais, she's not wrong. He's not the sinner, but me. Anais is a sweet girl who is always kind, friendly, and warm."
All the descriptions that Derren said about Anais suddenly brought Ghai to a place. A small hill between the twilight sea with Tabebuya trees lined up sweetly as a complement. A little finger belonging to a little girl became the first sight that Ghai caught. Her shadow became abstruse due to the twilight that selfishly displayed the beauty behind the sweet figure. Wanting to break the tiny fingers, Ghai again snatched, now darkness is his place.
"GHAI! Oh my!! I thought you were okay!" derren panicked.
"Foreigner. I wasn't there alone" Ghai said.
"I mean??" asked Derren who still looked panicked.
"Tabebuya Tree on a small hill with a wide view of the sky. Where's Der?" ask Ghai.
"You're this. What place did you just stop by?" derren asked with surprised face.
"There's a girl there, Der. Facial vague. I've just come from there" replied Ghai.
Derren gasped to hear it. Quickly Derren took Ghai's hand to shake his congratulations.
"Congratulations! Your first memory is back. I thought you were going to die" Derren said.
"Isn't he dead? Ghosts can still die a second time, right?" ask Ghai.
"God Ghai! Still kidding at a time like this," Derren said as he hit Ghai's shoulder hard enough.
"So?" ask Ghai confusedly.
"So, what now?" derren asked as he tilted his head.
"Find the figure that was said to be the strange sound when I woke up," Ghai said.
"okay! I'll help you. Fighting!" said Derren while clenching his hands tightly with the position raised up.
"Emang is still a boy, it's funny" Ghai said as he looked at Derren, who was a 7-year-old boy.
"What?! Didn't listen to me wrong?!!" ask Derren.
"Pfft, me? Where was your wise-ass figure?" tanya Ghai interspersed with laughter.
"Even if I die young, I learn from your vocabulary! From now on I won't be stiff anymore huh! Ghost gaul wants to teach you a lesson!" derren said while chasing Ghai who was 5 steps ahead of Derren.
"Ih, afraid," Ghai said in a tone that did not sound serious in the slightest so that his words managed to give a joking impression in it.
