Title: Paranoid

_________________________

I sat quietly in the garden chair. Then the street dwellers looked at me cynically.

I endured a thousand turmoil in my heart.

The afternoon breeze waving my hair.

A few days ago I had a big fight with Alex. People I've known for a long time. He passed by and never looked back again

To her lover who sat pensively asked, why should it be like this?

It's so cold here it's piercing your heart. My tears fell on the earth, my tongue was crabbed, the rain was not able to make me leave.

“heeeey.. Meldaaa..! Why are you daydreaming here? Why haven't you come home yet? It's night time, someone from behind patted me on the shoulder, scattered daydreams, I quickly remove tears that have not had time to dry.

Melda: “jastin? What are you doing here?”

Jastin: “you cry again mel?”

Melda: “a.. Aac, how come you ain't tin? No why-not!' (removing tears).

Jastin: “you don't have to lie anymore, surely because of alex right!”

Melda: “alah jastin, I am tired of discussing this!”. (i got up leaving jastin in the park)

Jastin was a college friend I've known for four months, including a nice and helpful guy, but his over-attention to me made me feel a little happy

Sometimes I wonder why he is always there at the wrong time. Like he was intentionally asking me. Or maybe just my feelings. Like being alone and crying out of annoyance, empty. Lonely by my twisted love story. Maybe I was too stupid to let every man poison me with love, the promises of all that kept me swept away in deep wounds

I opened the gate weak once, I felt I had no more energy, the hard story today clearly drained my energy, I lay thin body in the mattress, and I was, the night was getting late my mind became more and more chaotic and chaotic. The wall clock ticked along my pulse, I tried to close my eyes, but as another voice called my name, not to mention the night air pierced my skin, the fine feathers on my hands seemed to be blown. And I started to creep.

I lifted the blanket and turned on the lights. A photo on my dresser fell hard for no reason. I slowly took a picture on the floor. A photo of me and alex during high school. A time where love is so strong and draws me into the life of Alex who is actually a child lacking affection. Alex's parents were killed sadistically by robbers, lucky that alex could be saved by the residents on that gripping night.

Alex's life is labeled the son of a rich man. Because he inherited his parents' wealth, but his attitude was clearly indifferent and no smile was always cold as usual, I was present in his life that slowly changed a little bit his character his bad behavior, drugs, gambling, gambling, wild racing is part of his dark story. I know how traumatized Alex was when he saw for himself the death of his father and mother who were killed sadistically

I put the photo back, but somehow it fell back, this time the glass broke down under the floor. A piece of glass scratched my hand. I screamed towards the bathroom. The blood in my hands soaked the floor, I opened the tap and cleaned the wound, as I raised my face. I screamed out loud, I fell down when a shadow of Alex on the glass with bloody red eyes almost came out and his face was badly damaged, his hair was burning and his whole body was destroyed. I was cornered in the corner of the room.

When I got up, saw again the shadow of the face disappeared, I ran to go outside. When I opened the door, a hand grabbed my arm firmly. It almost made me stand up.

“heeey..! Melda good night..!”

I almost fainted it turned out that the figure was rhena my best friend on campus. “eh you ren…! What are the nights here? You don't know what time it is? I pointed at the clock. 12.03. In my hand”

“ia I know..., but this is critical!, wire ehtang terribly mel...” rhena pulled me to his motorbike without explanation.

Rhena took me to a hospital, and showed me to a lifeless corpse that turned out to be alex's body stiffened with wounds all over his body. I cried hysterically, I held firmly alex's hand, calling his name as loud as I could, suddenly alex's corpse hand squeezed firmly into my hand with bulging eyes, causing me to be startled and fall slammed on the floor.

Rhena: “kenapaaa.. You mel?!” (running to hold me)*

Melda: “ta.. Ta's.. Her crying.. His hand moves!” (fear)

Rhena: “aaaah.. Crazy you mel... Where there are corpses moving…! I know you must be shaken and traumatized but don't scare me, it's one in the morning and again this is in the morgue, keep saying his hands are moving, crazy you are!

Melda: “is up to you rhen! But we have to get out of here, I'm so scared.!”.

Rhena and I ran down the hospital hallway, the atmosphere was very quiet and quiet here.

“brruuuuukk” a hard blow dropped me and rhena, we fell in pain, I vaguely saw the jastin figure approaching with a club in hand.

“hahahaha, feel it lady jal*ng..! I will send you with this beautiful friend of yours to hell, following alex****** that doesn't know respect for women, and again I hate rotten women like you, weak without being able to resist, he said, allowing myself to be distracted without listening to my attention..!” jastin spat and grabbed my hair hard, he sprayed fire-fighting gas into my eyes, causing me to make a revolt and scream holding my eyes all felt dark, dark, I called out the name Rhena before I fell unconscious.

I heard some hands squeezing my hands tightly, I returned back to squeezing those hands.

“meldaaaa... Are you aware?' a voice calling out my name made me forcefully open my eyes but it couldn't all feel dark. The pain that now hit both my eyes

“what am I blind.. Ren! I cried”

“remember this is me rhena, you are blind, but said your doctor got a donor, they did not tell you where they got the eye, and they will operate on you later, you just calm down mel?

Maybe in a few weeks you can see the vast world.”

“before justin had hit a blunt object in his hand into your head. I faintly saw a hand coiled around the neck of the jastin and broke it hard, it must be alex, maybe you don't believe it but the figure suddenly disappeared.

Before I answer.

“sorry what is this with miss melda and this must be her friend rhena huh? Sorry mba rhena please signed. “I heard some people come in. Check my condition and have Rhena handle a letter.

Today has been almost 4 weeks I was treated, tomorrow I can go home.

My condition has allowed me to go home, with new eyes. But now I feel strange on both balls of my eyes. There was something strange and wrong with my eyes,

What happened to me, especially these two eyes…?

The rhena house.

Rhena: “melda sorry huh? You don't get mad at me, because what I want to tell you is weird, but they forced me, the doctors..!

Melda: “what do you mean rhen? Don't make me offend..!'

Rhena: “actually your eyes were alex's eyes, I don't know where they got permission from, but they say I just came to the agreement? Because that's the only way you can see!”

I speak only a thousand languages.

I forced Rhena to take me to the doctor in charge of the surgery on me.

A beautiful woman with glasses and a doctor's dress is called grace.

Melda: “maaf mom I just want to know where mom got permission to give alex eyes to me?'

Doctor Grace flips through the glasses and cleans. Rise up standing facing window. “ma.. Sorry.. Sorry miss melda, but alex himself came and wanted it.”

And.. It happened a few hours before you went blind. He said you have to live with his eyes. Because he loves you so deeply, only you can raise the spirit of his life.. Yea? It's a letter as proof I'm not dreaming.”. Grace handed me a paper with Alex's signature.

Live with both eyes

Don't be afraid I'm here

Trust me I won't let anyone touch your body remember that.

———————–

I walked down the hallway of my room. Very quiet, my parents are abroad. I am very uncomfortable with these eyes. I can see in the dark. And can walk down the whole hallway with your eyes closed.

Suddenly I was in the bathroom. When I look in the glass. A shadow of alex appeared but somehow this time I did not feel afraid.

His eyes were empty. Without smiling. His face is badly damaged. I touched the glass but I couldn't. I wanted to hug Alex's body but couldn't.

When I look back. He stood right in front of my eyes for only a few inches. I'm trying to back off. I was shocked but my steps seemed to be held back.

Alex tried to get me. But she couldn't, she wanted to hug me but failed again. I approached and stood in front of him. He looked down not understanding. No sound without crying.

“alex my dear why can't I hold you for a moment. I miss you so much, I'm sorry for what happened in the park. I'm lonely, baby. I belong to you but I feel like I have nothing. You're not romantic. You never appreciated me. What happened, dear. Are you back to pick me up. Why are you quiet, look at my face. I am your lover, not your enemy. Appreciate me.”

As loud as I screamed there was no answer

Alex turned his body and pierced through my body. Go disappear somewhere.

Morning time.

Today was so strange, I woke up to an alarm that suddenly sounded for no reason. Not to mention the window glass that opened itself caused the sun to hit my eyes. I opened my eyes and Alex was in front of me. Wanting to kiss my forehead but unable, just like yesterday without expression. Without a sound, I went wherever he was. Makes me uncomfortable.

On campus

“hee.. Rhena new alex.”. I introduced alex who stood beside me to rhena and ririn rhena's friend

“mad you nih. Still traumatized, right? Already melda.. Don't you scare me anymore..! Rhena searched around me and held my forehead a few times. Maybe he still can't believe I'm not lying. While alex. Still standing next to me expressionlessly.

Ririn: “kok is so strange your friend!” *whisper in rhena ears*

“aaah.. Never mind if you don't see it, let's go before everyone thinks I'm crazy..!. I grabbed Rhena's hand pulling her away from the sight of eyes that were starting to feel strange to me.

While ririn looked on with a bangtung.

In-house.

“how can I communicate with you if you just keep quiet.. And silent... With your empty eyes” I began to get upset because rhena and her friend had thought me crazy. “continue why only I can see you?. So kenappaaaa?

Suddenly the book on my study table opened itself so quickly. And the pen from my pocket floated by itself. And dancing on a notebook. I approached and read the writing

“because of your eyes my eyes”

“haaaaah. I screamed loudly looking at my face in the mirror.

A letter on the paper appeared again

“do you not like it?”

I turned around and wanted to explain but the shadow was gone. But late at night I still can't sleep. Since my eyes in surgery I can only rest for 20 to 30 minutes because he always woke up Alex with his mischief by sounding the alarm or accidentally knocking me out of bed. I knew he wanted me to always be with him, but I was getting bored as well. My mind is starting to fill.

“alex sorry yes? It's not like I don't like your eyes. But you scare me, people won't believe I can see your figure. In fact, it may have been almost 2 months. I can't live alone. “I close the book. And sleep. But I could hear the sound of the book being opened for several hours. I'm sure Alex is reading my writing.

And this time I slept a long time. Strange indeed.

Tomorrow is tuesday 04-06-13

Kriiiii.. Kriiii.. Paaaagii…

The alarm in my room rang out loud, I pretended not to wake up, to a long pull

Pulling me from falling out of bed

Still unconscious.

I opened my eyes and saw my whole room so beautiful. The window of the room is open and swaying by itself. On the ceiling filled with colorful paper butterflies. Riding in the wind

Like flying back and forth, like,

On the table was a heart-shaped cardboard box. I opened it with a tart cake and wrapped in a necklace beside it. I touched my neck. It turns out that the necklace I used to use is already in the box. “braaaak.” all windows are closed quickly together close the curtains. Causing a complete darkness.
