Notes Without Title
That Day



20/1/2019


12.34


Suddenly Yaza's memory is divided for Nea. Nea cried, on the other hand Yaza opened his bag to take out his handkerchief.


"Maybe the cause of Renren's death was me" Yaza said.


Yaza then gave his handkerchief to Nea. Yaza again opened his bag to pull out a letter that read Renren's handwriting.


"From that day on, Renren liked to appear in front of me. Love other imperfect memories after the accident that made me forget some things about you. The accident that made me change and then move away from you to choose a new friendship and become a different person than you know" Yaza said.


Nea had said before that Yaza had moved away and changed. After Yaza woke up that day, Yaza had lost his memory. It turned out that after sharing the memories Nea was able to recall that Yaza had already stayed away from them for quite a while. Not just from the erasing of their memories of Ghai, Derren, and Renren.


"Maybe you forgot but, Ghai also changed after the accident."


Nea looked at Yaza. His net caught Yaza's pale face.


"Za, are you sick?" ask Nea.


"I'm not okay. It's just been sapping lately."


"Lo's sure?" ask Nea.


"Yes." Yeah."


"By the way Za, I also got a memory of Derren's death. Are those memories happy for you too?" ask Nea.


"Yes, I wanted to that day" replied Yaza.


"Don't Renren do it?" ask Nea.


Yaza was silent for a moment. Nea looked at Yaza to make sure Yaza heard his question.


"No. So, don't mistake Renren for Derren's departure" Yaza replied.


Yaza then stood up, he picked up his bag and started to leave. Before actually leaving Nea, Yaza said something.


"The letter from Renren should be read. Who knows, it opens up another memory and I'm sorry I can't take you home."

Nea was in her room at the moment. He held a letter with a worn envelope that read Renren's handwriting. Suddenly Ghai was present beside him.


"Nee!"


"Ghii?! Oh gosh. You're not coming here to say it?" ask Nea.


"Hehe, sorry. Again with ngagetin, huh?" ask Ghai.


"Make it again!" answer Nea.


"Again what?" ask Ghai.


Nea was silent for a moment. He looked at Ghai shortly afterwards.


"Yaza's love has been divided into you yet?" ask Nea.


Ghai was silent for a moment. His eyes turned soft for a moment and then came back cheerful after.


"Yet. What's up, man?" ask Ghai.


"Recured yet? No more lying?" ask Nea.


"Yes, not yet."


Ghai lied. Ghai remembered what Yaza remembered. He only avoided questions from Nea that might make him sick.


"Why then? Though Yaza clearly said we would start sharing memories from now on" Nea monologue.


"But seriously my ears are very cool," said Ghai suddenly.


"Huh?" asked Nea who failed to understand.


"From now on I haven't been horrified to curse and even to call me to use you not lo."


Nea's cheeks meet, either out of embarrassment or blushing about Ghai's concern for her. Nea immediately turned the conversation to Renren's letter.


"So I got this from Yaza. Renren's other letter," Nea said.


"Let's read it" Ghai said.


Nea then opened her letter. A letter with an envelope inscribed from Renren to Yaza my best friend.


Hi Yaza, it's Renren. Yeah, you know I still hate it. It's natural. Sorry for sending you a letter. I just wanted to say sorry for the umpteenth time. Yaza, if I may, can we be friends again like first?


Yaza, sorry Renren asked so much. How are the others there? Ghai is good? Yaza, Renren's going to Indonesia maybe in about a year. Is it okay if Renren asks that we return that year like before? For the last time Renren begs, Renren wants to go play again with you guys like first.


By the way, last night I was approached by Derren in a dream. He said it wasn't my fault. I don't understand so, can Renren go home later we fix this problem?


3/10/2015


From Renren


"What did Derren mean by coming to Renren's dream?" ask Ghai.


"What does Yaza mean tell me to read this because maybe Derren actually appeared in front of Renren? Where is derren now?" ask Nea.


***


"Are you sure you can solve everything the way he wants?" 


"Please, please give us more time to resolve all these misunderstandings" Derren said.


Now Derren is talking to a creature who had previously noticed the movements of Derren was Arsa. Someone in charge of taking them away upstairs later.


"Your hatred for him is completely gone? You sure?" 


Derren was silent for a moment. His eyes fell on the floor for a moment.


"Before I thought all the causes of all this were him, Arsa. The world is full of mysteries and unexpected truths, right? Perhaps the cause of everything is not from anyone but from each of us. Being in a situation like this has taught me about not all subtle creatures are evil" Derren said.


"At least there's one sane one here that I can talk to. You should be able to become a safety lever for Renren."


"Can I see Renren again?" ask Derren.


"could certainly. Only you can bring Renren back like before. Please remember."


"I want to ask you one thing. What's the reason behind Arsa's attitude making this a puzzle?" ask Derren.


"There's still a lot you don't know yet. You know creatures like me are not allowed to interfere in the problems of humans and creatures like you. I can only keep an eye out before I finally take you all away. One thing I can tell you, it's possible that Arsa's intentions are not evil to bring you all back together. So, please finish it in time. When that time comes, I'll take you back there."


Derren nodded before finally the figure left and disappeared. Lately Derren has been pondering about the reasons behind Arsa's actions on them. The more you remember, the more Derren knows that he used to be so selfish and pushy.


The one who always tried to separate Arsa from Ghai was himself and Yaza. The one who had behaved badly to Arsa and hated Arsa was himself. So, is it possible that the reason behind everything is her? Derren is lost right now.


On the other hand, he was so eager to be reunited with Renren. However, somehow his tongue felt faint once he was faced with Renren. Once again Derren was there crying to himself.

"Fai, can we meet today?" ask Arka.


"What's Arka?" ask Fai.


"There's something I need to find out about Fai" Arka said.


"What's that?" ask Fai.


"Okay, Arka's taking Fai home. Later Fai get ready first," said Fai.


"okay."


Connection interrupted. Arka immediately changed her clothes. What makes Arka today sure they want to find their time capsule is a letter from Renren that he just found back.


Hi Arka!


Yes, this is Renren. I wrote you another letter, what? How are you today? My condition has improved over here. Sorry to bother you again, because only you can send a letter.


Arka, what's the other news there? I hope everything is okay! Hey, don't be stingy send a letter to me! Try to occasionally send by mail, do not phone mute! Asyik. 


Oh, I asked this because I was curious. Our time capsule is still going on? Last time we filled it before Derren's departure and as you know, a week after Derren's departure I moved to the Netherlands. So, is it possible that it still continues without me? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. You remind? The box containing the letters from us with the key that Nea always carries. I remember the box was a gift from Ghai to Nea after returning from Germany. Unfortunately I have forgotten the burial location of the box, do you remember where the box was buried? I think that's Nea's favorite place, don't you think?


Ah, I miss those days. A lot of our curses are buried in the box. I wonder what the contents of your writing are Ka! What's it about Fai? Haha. Oh, don't forget to quickly express your feelings to Fai. The woman needs certainty.


10/5/2015


From your prettiest bestfriend, Renren.

Here Arka and Fai stand now. A city park that Nea used to visit when tired.


"You sure this is the place?" ask Fai.


"I'm not sure, beb. Only, yes he said in Nea's favorite place. Do you know where kids like it?" ask Arka.


"Why don't you ask Nea directly? So it's more practical if that's the case," said Fai.


"The boy is hard to contact. Where have not met for a long time," said Arka.


"Yes out you really like busy people can not join the gathering. Yaza too, why is it so hard to play?" ask Fai.


"Because I'm busy, baby. Later I will often join together again," said Arka.


"What's so busy?" ask Fai.


"Former my love."


Lies. Arka is actually busy looking for the whereabouts of Ghai's body. Already many hospitals that Arka came to with the same results that they did not treat patients with coma status identified Abhiyoga Ghaitsa Mahawira. Arka becomes suspicious, is it possible that Ghai was admitted to an out-of-town hospital?


"This is all, what if we contact Nea and ask about this," suggested Fai.


"Yes, try your contact now. By the way, do you want Renren's death to be just like Derren's?" ask Arka. Fai was silent for a moment before finally answering Arka's question.


"I got a new memory of it but, always in a dream. So, I don't know if it was a real event or just a dream" Fai replied.


"Yes, we've asked about that later just after meeting them."

18.23


Everyone is gathered in the music hall today. The reason is because Nea said she was there with Ghai and Derren.


"First of all, what you remember about Derren and Renren's death is the real thing. Yaza said, we started sharing memories" Nea said.


As it turned out, the memories shared by them were memories that corresponded to what they experienced. Arka and Fai do not remember Ghai trying to jump off the roof of the hospital at that time because they were not there at the time, what they remember is a call from Renren and Derren's parents who say that his son was no more that day. Nea also would not have known about Ghai's actions on the roof of the hospital had Yaza not told her. In other words, those who are brought to memory jump are actually more clearly aware of what actually happened that day.


"Everything always leads to the same figure as at that time," said Arka.


"Who?" ask Balqis.


"Arsa," replied Fai.


Derren had thought for a moment, until he finally dared to express this. He thought, this would not be dangerous after being reunited with the creature who guarded them and knowing that in fact the figure they had blamed so far, desperately needed Derren.


"Okay, I'll tell you everything about Arsa that I know" Derren said.


Ghai. The only one who had listened without enthusiasm was only Yaza.


"So, that time...


***


Ghai is on vacation in his family villa. Ghai was there only with his family, nothing else. It all started from here, the day Ghai met Arsa.


A long time ago, Ghai's favorite place of his villa was the pine forest behind the building accompanied by a spring with a beautiful small waterfall. The water is clear, the view is great. For Ghai, that place was the perfect place to clear his mind.


While on the road, Ghai saw a small child who was constantly watching Ghai play water in the river. There are times when the river water has a swift and calm current like this, usually rain causes the swift flow of the river there.


Ghai who was disturbed finally returned the gaze of the little boy's figure. Seen a shabbily dressed boy walking barefoot. Ghai finally got out of the river and stopped playing water.


"Here, don't go" Ghai said.


The figure walked closer towards Ghai. Ghai could see his body that was much taller than the figure of the boy in front of him.


"Whose name are you? Why not wear sandals? It's dirty, " Ghai said.


The figure just stared at Ghai in silence. Ghai who was just stared at finally sighed.


"Wait here for a minute!"


Ghai left, not long after Ghai returned while carrying a pair of sandals with cartoon characters depicted there. Ghai crouched down and put a pair of sandals in front of the boy.


"Pake ini, jadi kalau jalan-jalan gak sakit. Rumah kamu di mana? Ayo aku antar pulang," ajak Ghai.


Sosok tersebut menurut, ia mengenakan sendal yang diberi Ghai. Ia menatap Ghai sekali lagi sebelum akhirnya berbicara.


"Kamu bisa lihat aku?" tanya sosok itu.


Ghai langsung memukul jidatnya. Sadar apa yang dihadapinya sekarang bukan manusia, Ghai menghela napas berat.


"Waduh, bisa-bisa kena marah Derren sama Yaza nih," ujar Ghai.


"Siapa itu?" tanya sosok itu.


Ghai tersenyum sebelum akhirnya kembali menatap sosok itu. Ia pikir tidak akan jadi masalah selama Derren dan Yaza tidak mengetahui masalah ini.


"Temen aku. Nanti aku kenalin. Mereka galak sama sejenis kamu tapi, mereka baik kok," ujar Ghai.


"Temen?"


"Iya. Ngomong-ngomong nama kamu siapa?" tanya Ghai.


Sosok itu segera mengubah air mukanya, dari yang sebelumnya terlihat datar jadi terlihat ketakutan. Ghai akhirnya mulai mengalihkan pembicaraan, tiba-tiba sosok Arka teringat di otaknya. Melihat sosok anak lelaki itu gelisah, entah kenapa terlihat seperti Arka.


"Ya udah aku aja yang kasih kamu nama."


Sosok itu mulai mengangkat kepalanya, menatap Ghai dengan tatapan yang tidak dapat diartikan. Ghai kemudian tersenyum.


"Arsa! Aku panggil kamu Arsa ya!"


Entah kenapa, sosok itu mulai menangis. Ghai yang melihatnya jadi salah tingkah, ia kemudian melangkah mendekat.


"Jangan nangis. Kamu kenapa nangis? Mulai sekarang kita temen ya."


Pertemanan mereka berlanjut, dan benar saja tebakan Ghai mengenai tanggapan Yaza dan Derren. Mereka tidak suka dengan Arsa, alasannya sederhana. Menurut mereka mahluk seperti Arsa itu berbahaya, banyak dari mereka yang jahat dan berusaha mencelakai manusia, maka dari itu mereka tidak suka melihat kebersamaan Ghai dan Arsa. Terlebih lagi Ghai menamai teman barunya dengan nama yang mirip dengan Arka.

"Ya singkatnya gitu. Aku sama Yaza gak suka banget sama yang namanya mahluk halus. Dari dulu, banyak dari mereka yang niatnya ganggu makannya aku sama Yaza punya pemikiran bahwa mahluk seperti mereka berbahaya dan jahat," ujar Derren.


Yaza yang sedari tadi diam, tiba-tiba buka suara. Ia menatap Derren.


"Hari itu, di tanggal 3 Oktober 2015 lo muncul di depan Renren?"
