Gathering

"Yes if you all want to apologize stay clear of everything to me. Overcome?" nea asked with a look of anger.

"You brought a picture on your album?" ask Balqis.

Nea then opened her bag. He gave a photograph of 8 children in it. Nea then approached as Balqis gently stroked the photo sheet.

"You want to know what not?" ask Nea again.

Suddenly Balqis took a sitting position. This step he took was also followed by Yaza and Derren. Nea then took a crouching position.

"It's you, Arka, Fai, Yaza, Derren, me, Ghai and Renren." Balqis pointed to one by one the children in the photo.

"We're best friends yeah, just because of that mistake we broke. I'm the only Balqis who can remember because we can both see them who are different dimensions of the same. No, maybe the reason is more than that? I don't know either" said Yaza.

"I'm sorry Nea. It's all because I'm meddling too much" Derren said.

"It doesn't make sense. Why just because you two can see them so you don't forget? What about the explanation of our parents who seem to have never realized we are legitimate?" tanya Nea remembered having met her mother Balqis who seemed not to know her at all.

Balqis and Yaza and Derren were silenced. They looked at Nea with regretful gazes. In fact they were actually much more tormented than Nea, Arka, and Fai had forgotten about all of this.

"OK fine, means this is what I have to break?" asked Nea who then got a reply in the form of a nod from her 3rd.

"All answers are and always are close to you. Find out, you have not much time," said Yaza.

"Since when?" ask Nea.

"It happened almost 8 months ago. You should be able to break all this up before April. So, it would be better if everything is put back together again" said Balqis.

"Attime, 4 months? Lo all my love for only 4 months?" tanya Nea's hysterical.

Balqis held Nea's hand. Yaza then answered Nea's question which was still surprised to remember having to solve the mystery of his life in just 4 months.

"That's Derren's guess, because the pattern is the same as the previous one had Ghai broken. One year until it all ends up being a kayak gini" Yaza explained.

"Last, let me ask you one thing. How many times has this been?" asked Nea doubtfully.

"Ke-3, and I'm his first victim" Derren replied.

"Arka, you know Nea must have her own reasons?" ask Fai.

"Gue knows Fai, but this is no way. Why is it as if we don't exist?" ask Arka.

"Gue was also disappointed, but this is not the way. Surely behind this Nea is actually more depressed than the two of us, isn't she?" asked Fai, Arka did not answer.

"At that time, the one Nea talked about Ghai for the first time. First time Nea told us Ghai's name. Nea might want to tell a story at that time but it didn't, " said Fai.

Fai's speech made Arka speechless. Arka then rubbed her rough face then stood up.

"This is my whole gini. Why can't I be angry for so long with you guys anyway?!" arka said frustrated.

Fai then smiled and hugged Arka. Arka returned Fai's embrace and placed her chin on Fai's head.

"Alright if you also play secrets," threatened Arka.

"Ready boss!" replied Fai who then tightened his embrace.

"Fast, shame. This public," said Arka whose mood is slowly improving. Fai took off his embrace then looked at Arka.

"Yes, let's go now to Nea, we're sorry" said Fai.

"No, then" replied Arka.

"Why?" ask Fai.

"Let Nea come to me and apologize first" Arka said.

"Arka.." said Fai with emphasis.

"Gue was sorry, just wait for Nea who came to me first," said Arka who then left Fai behind.

"Where are you?!" ask Fai.

"Fix the mood" replied Arka.

"Where?" ask Fai.

"Losing behind her date didn't happen!" arka.

"GAI!"

Derren was shocked to see Ghai's body convulsing in the cold white marble. Derren ran over to Ghai who was now slowly awakening.

"Lo's okay?" ask Derren.

Unable to get a reply from Ghai made Derren start speculating about many things. Derren then shook Ghai's body quite violently.

"LO BE MUTE?!! THAT LITTLE DEMON OATH!!" derren said full of anger.

Derren then stood up. When ready to find the figure that will beat Derren to death Ghai's hand held Derren. Derren then crouched back in front of Ghai.

"What was my relationship with you before?" ask Ghai.

Derren fell down. Looking blankly at Ghai for a moment when realizing Ghai's hand felt real. Ghai has always avoided physical contact with anyone including Derren.

"How long has it been fainting?" ask Derren.

"I knew you were Nea my best friend from childhood. People whose names are Yaza, Arka, Fai, Balqis and Renren are also in my memory when I passed out. I answered Derren, what was our relationship before? Why have you been quiet all this time if we actually knew each other before? Who is that voice?" ask Ghai.

"Sorry Ghai, but I can't interfere. I want to be able to answer all those questions, but there's only one I can answer. We were Ghai's previous friends and I'm sorry I couldn't tell you from the beginning about this" Derren replied.

"Why?" ask Ghai.

"I don't want to harm you. Not anymore,"

'Ke-3, and I'm his first victim.'

Derren's words have been chanting in Nea's head for the past 3 days. Derren's first victim? Who is the 2nd victim? What does Ghai mean the 3rd victim? As he was immersed in his mind, Nea's phone rang, he opened his phone. Busy playing the rectangular-shaped object on the chair, suddenly Arka entered along with Fai, the two walked while having a small conversation. Nea then glanced at Arka and Fai who were both glancing at Nea silently. Nea just remembered, it had been 3 days also Nea forgot the status of friendship between herself and Arka and Fai due to the events of that time.

"Come, what did he promise yesterday?" fai said to Arka.

Arka sighed and then walked over to Nea's chair. Arka pulled out a bottle of Nea's favorite yogurt and thrust the drink at her. Afterwards, Arka walked up and took a sitting position in the front seat of Nea. Fai who was still standing looked at Nea then scratched his head. Nea who felt warm finally smiled, this was able to make Fai follow her.

"I'm sorry, you" said Nea, who then spontaneously embraced Arka from behind. Arka flinched and tried to let go of Nea's embrace.

"Gue has a girlfriend!" said Arka who then turned to Nea.

"Gue doesn't mind if Nea hugs Arka. If other girls see tomorrow," said Fai.

Arka rolled her eyes lazily. On the other hand Fai finally took a sitting position beside Arka.

"But I already have in this chair," said Arka.

Nea chuckled at Arka's action, she then ran small and sat down beside Fai. Soon the learning that Nea, Fai, and Arka were supposed to absorb was replaced by an explanation of the riddles of their lives from Nea to Arka and Fai.

"So? You mean we're equal to Balqis, a jutek girl at that time?" ask the Arka who still does not believe.

"Keep that little ghost, Derren? And we've known Ghai for a long time?" ask Fai.

Nea answered her best friend's 2nd question with a small nod. Nea's theory of speculation was then almost in her brain.

"If you are connected to this mystery. Then Ghai can you see also dong?!" nea said suddenly.

"Maybe?" answer Fai.

"This afternoon we meet Ghai" Nea said.

"Just a second! I deg-degan," said Arka who is now holding Nea's next step with his hand.

"Rush! Fai is also being stubborn again ah.." complained Fai to Arka.

"Sorry sweetheart... Okay, I'm ready," said Arka once again.

"Pray for rain today" Nea said.

"Weather forecast says it's going to rain today" Fai said.

Sure enough, before long the raindrops began to wet the entire earth. Slowly getting faster to make Nea, Fai, also Arka more and more advanced towards the door of the main hall of the music art building.

"Gue was sure that Ghai was waiting inside" said Nea who then slowly began to open the door.

Slowly Ghai's figure was seen. His back wrapped in a white shirt looked on the backs of the 3 people who had just been there. Nea then walked slowly, there was Derren there who then looked shocked to death when he realized there was also Fai Arka that day.

"Have Nea come?!" asked Ghai who sounded enthusiastic.

When his body turned to look at Nea, the look on his face turned serious when he found Arka and Fai there. Derren then walked slowly towards Nea.

"Why did you bring them here Nea?" ask Derren in panic.

"Yaza said they were both important key holders for all of this. Therefore I bring them, they should be able to see Ghai-kan?" ask Nea.

Nea then turned to look at Arka and Fai. How surprised Nea was when she saw the two hazel-colored beads that Arka suddenly fogged up and began to lower the clear circle to Arka's cheeks. Yes, Arka was crying, as was Fai.

"Why are you two?" ask Nea.

"G-gue does not know, it feels tight," replied Arka who then sobbed and hit his chest.

Ghai, who was the object of the gaze of the two people who were crying just stared confused Nea, Arka, and Fai alternately. Derren then approached Arka and Fai and hugged them though not felt.

"He's Ghai?" fai asked with a voice interspersed with a sob.

Nea nodded then stood beside Ghai. Ghai then looked at Nea in surprise, he needed an explanation at this moment.

"They're who?" ask Ghai.

"Your childhood friend" Nea replied.

"Children of childhood? Like you and me?" ghai asked once more who answered a nod by Nea.

"Wait, you know we're childhood friends?!" tanya Ghai is hysterical.

"Because of this," answered Nea who then offered a piece of the photograph that is now a mandatory object Nea to carry everywhere he went.

"They're Arka with Fai. The guy in this picture, it's the same me and the others, isn't it?" ask Nea.

"Arka and Fai?" ask Ghai again.

"Yes" Nea replied with a smile.

The memory inside Ghai's dream then flashed through his mind. Arka and Fai were indeed present there, but had yet to see what their little figure looked like.

"Because I haven't seen you in a long time... Hello, I'm Ghai," said Ghai, Arka and Fai nodded at the same time hearing him.

"We both know who you are. I'm Arka" said Arka as she reached out her right hand which she had just used to wipe away her tears.

"Gue Fai," said Fai who both extended his right hand.

"I'm sorry, but I'm free to hold your hands, not to be held. So please don't be angry because I don't welcome your hands" Ghai replied. Arka and Fai withdrew his hand then nodded.

"Let's sit down first, everyone. We start our 2nd research now,"
