Notes Without Title

Showdown

Ghai awakens, somewhere in the middle of nowhere with a view of the pine trees around him. Ghai walked over, then found out what this place really was. Suddenly a black shadow passed by and was drawn ambiguously in his hazel bead.

"Who's there?"

Unable to get an answer, Ghai chose to pursue the shadow. His steps came to a halt when he heard the sound of a boy making a sound, not far from his place. Ghai approached the source of the sound and of course in a way to sneak.

"You again?"

Ghai. The netraya catches a little boy turning his back on Ghai and talking alone. Ghai was curious. Is that part of his past too? Who is that boy.

"Why play here barefoot?"

Ghai's gaze followed the direction of the boy's conversation. But the bottom line! Just looking at the land that the little boy was both aiming for.

"I guessed it, eat it I came here and brought this."

The boy then pulled out a small sandal from behind his knit cardigan. Shortly after, the boy stretched out his hand.

"I'm Ghai, let's be friends. You who?"

Ghai was surprised, suddenly he was pulled back to another memory, in a different place than before he stood on his feet. If what used to be a place with a pine tree embrace around it, now it contains only wild weeds that look like they lose color but still beautiful, Ghai admitted it.

"Ghai, don't be friends with him anymore."

Ghai then looked at the two boys who were talking. Ghai can guess his 2nd age from his visible stature. About 7 years old.

"Why? I'm sorry no one wants to be with her."

"The thing is he's a parasite. If you stay together you can be harmed. Derren's words were true."

Ghai was quite surprised to hear the words of his interlocutors at that time. Ghai can admit, that kid must be smart. Little Ghai then hits his interlocutor's boy with a weed that he scissors.

"Wicked yaza. It can't be that."

"I'm not lying. Let's stop, don't play with him again. The proof is already many Ghai, if you deny his stupid name."

Again, Ghai is drawn to another memory. Already the 3rd time he jumped into his puzzle piece which now even more raises many questions in his mind.

"Ghen! What are you doing Renren?!"

Little Ghai was shocked. He was afraid not to play, while at the same time Ghai who was digging secrets himself was surprised to see a little girl lying weak. Ghai believes the little girl just fainted.

"Sorry aunt, but it's not Ghai who did it."

"Yes! It wasn't Ghai who did it, that kid did it!" the little boy who was previously both in a place full of weeds spoke up while pointing at something.

"Is this all right?"

"Ghi is not a bad aunt, Nea same Yaza can guarantee. It wasn't Ghai, Renren who fell into the pool itself." Ghai was startled again, Nea suddenly appeared there.

Who exactly is this Yaza? Ghai was confused instead of playing, until suddenly a voice that he knew well was heard. That's Derren, that's not wrong anymore. She was Derren the little ghost who had accompanied her all along.

"Ghai, stop. Don't lie, you're the cause. All because you're still friends with the creature."

Ghai flinched, he was pulled back to another place. Now he stood looking at the same scene and he had seen it before. The scene where he was playing piano with a little girl.

"Ghen! He's looking for you, he said why stop playing? Are you trying to stay away from him?" that boy named Yaza stopped his game.

"You're saying I should, I guess that's the best way?"

"What are you talking about? Nea doesn't understand."

"Nea, go play first with Arka and Fai dong. Yaza wants to talk to Ghai."

For God's sake, Ghai's thoughts were now filled with the phrase 'I was a child's acting all grown-up'. It is true, during the memory was played Ghai and the people in his memory acted like adults only, full of mystery and seemed strange to the size of children range 7 years.

"I told you, eat it never tell them if you accidentally meet."

"I don't understand why Yaza is so evil with them."

"I wouldn't be as bad as them if they weren't as bad as us Ghai."

"Nea doesn't understand, who's the evil Yaza?"

Suddenly Derren appeared, he ran small while pointing a wooden stick towards Ghai. Ghai was surprised to see him, Big Ghai and Little Ghai, the little boy Yaza immediately walked towards Derren and lowered his staff.

"Don't do that, Ghai is also a victim."

"Seriously so! From now on Nea spoke not heard, you fuss what?"

"Ghai's new friend." replied Derren.

"Ghai has a new friend? Wh who? How did you not go to Nea, Arka, Fai and Balqis?"

Arka and Balqis? Who else are they? For Fai, if not wrong Ghai, he thought he had heard his name from Nea. It was enough for Ghai who had just discovered the fact that Derren and himself were childhood friends. Now appeared again 5 people who had never even existed before in Ghai's memory. Ah, if he is not wrong means 6 people whose existence is still in question.

Ghai's head feels like it's spinning. He then held his head, starting to squash his hair to relieve the pain that suddenly came unannounced. Until suddenly a voice was heard greeting, and Ghai knew who the owner of the voice was well.

"Do you remember me?"

"Derren?! How can-." Nea was surprised not to play. Because this morning heading to noon, Derren can not be exposed to sunlight. Danger for him.

"Before the heat gets stinging come with me." Derren broke Nea's words.

Derren seemed to be taking Nea and the others to a place with minimal sunlight. A cafe with a background that can be said. However Derren was still a boy when he left, his mind was still plain, smooth, and untouched by the dark facts of the world.

"Hi Yaza, Hi Balqis. Sorry it took so long to say hello." Derren lowered his head.

It seems that Arka and Fai are still not aware of the strangeness here. Derren used his childhood stature, which means that his body and face were drawn exactly like the photo on the album they saw yesterday. This should be enough to make both of them wonder, right? But, it wasn't Arka and Fai's name if they realized this oddity from the very beginning.

"Derren, haven't seen you in a while?" balqis replied, while Yaza was now looking at Derren with mixed feelings.

"Lo, who? The boy joined the roar," said Arka suddenly.

"Lo Nyesel Ka knows who he is" Yaza told Arka in a scathing tone.

Derren chuckled softly hearing that. Yaza and Arka are still the same, both true enemies from childhood. Yaza with blasphemous identity and Arka with hurt identity.

"You guys are still the same, not changed from before" Derren said suddenly.

Nea breathed in frustration. What else is this? Then the 6 people who are now gathered here know each other before? Come on stop playing puzzles, Nea's saturated.

"It seems that we're the only 3 who don't understand the situation here." Fai finally spoke up after just listening and thinking hard.

"You are unconscious? The photo on Nea's album, it was taken about 13 years ago" Derren said.

"Yes on?" right, Arka and Fai were still not aware of his strangeness even after being blatantly said by Derren like that.

"Isn't it weird seeing kids who don't grow up like you? I should have grown up like you" Derren said.

Nea suddenly regained consciousness, Derren used me-you earlier. It seemed that he was nervous at this moment, even Nea realized that even a puzzle key holder was nervous to death at this moment.

Hearing Derren's words, Arka also Fai creeps. They began to look agitated, until finally Arka looked at Derren's feet and of course it managed to make himself jumped in shock and almost toppled over. Derren's legs are barely visible to the naked eye. Fai who saw him was equally surprised instead of playing.

"Ha-ghost!!" scream Fai hysterically.

Honestly speaking, Nea's reaction would probably be the same as Arka and Fai if she had only found out that second. Balqis managed to pull out her smile after being faithful to put on a tired face, in contrast to Yaza who was still struggling with a sense of uneasiness in his mind.

"Otherwise you want it this time? Not enough with Renren then?" yaza asked with a tired-sounding tone.

Derren jerks. I swear by anything, Nea can't stand all these puzzles anymore. Renren's? Who else is he?! It was as if Yaza and Derren were playing a puzzle that only the two of them understood, errata plus Balqis.

"Yazaa..." Balqis shook her head slowly.

"Not enough to take away my 2 best friends?! Now want to add Ghai too?!!" yaza shouted that suddenly got out of control.

"Ghi?!" Nea immediately turned to look at Yaza who was now looking at Derren.

"Za, you know Ghai?!" Nea immediately clasped tightly onto Yaza's wrist.

"Guys, stop. My brain is not that high to understand the situation this time. Please explain slowly," Pinta Arka.

"Ghen? Ghai's a music arts major? The one who collaborated with you Ne??!" ask Fai.

"What is our relationship?! Why is it as if everything is getting more complicated in my eyes? Nea, please answer!" said Arka who demanded an explanation.

Nea's head seemed to have just broken. Nea was showered with questions by her 2 best friends, Arka and Fai, with disappointed expressions.

"START! I DON'T KNOW EITHER!" nea shouted suddenly. It is able to make all 4 people plus 1 ghost there surprised and silenced.

"Gue wants you to explain everything now" Nea threatened 3 people whose guard knew something.

"We, can't interfere. That's the rule of the game" Derren replied.

"DO YOU WANT TO DO ALL WHAT****, YOU WANT TO MAKE ME DEPRESSED AT THE END BECAUSE OF THIS UNCLEAR THING?!" asked Nea who had exhausted her patience.

"No, Nea, we'll help. But, he's the boss... We don't want anyone to get hurt again because of our stupid actions yesterday" Yaza replied this time.

"Keep it how? I can't solve the puzzle if no one likes clue ***," Nea said.

"In exchange for our intervention. We can only lead you to make your own *other *clue. I just want you to know, from now on I'm with Yaza and Derren the guide. At the end of the tetep must be you who broke, and for both of you. Sorry, but we can also only help the two of you to remember again, because actually our memories are not as complete as that," said Balqis at length.

"So the key to that answer is all in me?" nea asked still with her emotions.

"What are our roles here?" ask Arka emotion, referring to herself and Fai.

"You guys are important key holders. Again me, Yaza, and Derren are just guides who have no right to interfere here."

"Fuck you all. Whatever, I'm backing out."

Arka left, feeling betrayed by Nea who was silent. Is Nea's belief in her just that? No, Arka is not angry because she has some kind of love or love for Nea. But don't you think they're friends? Why did Nea hesitate to tell such a thing, which was crazy turned out Arka herself entered into it.

Different from Fai. Fai is angry, but he knows Nea must have a reason behind it all. However, Fai still wants to help Nea solve her mystery. Moreover, Fai had indeed felt lost something that I don't know what it was for a long time. Maybe Fai got the answer this time.

"Gue was disappointed with you Ya. We'll talk later, now let me go after Arka." Fai passed away. Nea, Yaza, Balqis, and Derren were left there.

"Sorry, it's all because of me."
