SPIRIT AND DEATH

RIO

2 Days after my friendship with Feli I was very comfortable and my days felt normal because I had a talkative other than my father. Actually, Kak Rio is also fun to be invited to tell stories, exchange ideas, and discussions. It's just because he's a boy and I'm a girl, so I still feel very awkward about him.

Tomorrow is the last day of the campus introduction. So today we are released like a pet chicken to be able to blend in with other campus communities, especially the seniors. But in my opinion, this is not mingling but a test of courage because in the process we are only done in various ways.

Today Feli and I were very far apart. Our class is divided into 4 groups and I am currently one group with Lia and Putra who already consider me as a strange student.

All sorts of senior orders I've been trying to do well. From the corner of the large field, I saw Kak Rio always watching and watching me from a distance.

When a senior approaches me, be it a man or a woman, let alone one who wants to act a bit harsh or exaggerated to me, then Kak Rio will immediately approach and greet me while showing the familiarity between us.

Actually, from the beginning I felt very much that Brother Rio always paid attention and took good care of me. It made me feel very comfortable and somehow I got more sympathy and interest in him.

At around 16.30 WIB, Rio was called by one of his friends who wore clothes that read committee. Soon, my hands were forcibly pulled by the 4 senior students who surrounded me and none of them I knew.

They took me quite far from the main square, where my friends were gathered. And when I wanted to put up a fight, one of them gave me a gesture by taping his lips and sticking an index finger at the end of his lips.

I completely understood the intent and cue I had just received. Not looking for trouble, I tried to calm down and follow the steps of the four of them. Upon arrival in the back yard of the campus, I saw someone standing forward so I could not see his face.

"Say, is this really the girl you mean?" one of the four seniors said.

The one who only looked like his back ended up flipping over so I could see his face very clearly. It turned out that she was Sister Linda, someone who greeted Brother Rio when he first arrived with me at this campus.

"Yep, really. Smart all of you yes and thank you very much for the help of the four of you. You guys I can count on and you guys are my best mohibs." Linda said with her smile on her back while doing a tos on the four seniors who managed to bring me before her.

"Hi, you still want me, right? "

"Of course Sis." I said casually and calmly although I felt a little strange about the attitude of the five towards me.

"Gue wants to ask and you have to answer my question well ...!"

"Okay, what's the matter? "

"Rio. "the answer is quick and short.

"Oh, Brother Rio. What is it with Rio? "

"What is your relationship with Rio? " said Sister Linda while bringing her body closer to my body and she opened her eyes wide.

I have nothing to do with Brother Rio, we are just friends. That's it, no more and no less Kak. "i said honestly because there is no special relationship between me and Rio.

"It's good then, because if you mess around, I'll be ngabisin you." said Linda looked threatening, as well as the four other colleagues.

"But Rio and I have nothing to do with you and I have no intention of lying. "

"Lagian lo also don't pantes for him because you're nothing and nobody here. While Rio is the chairman of the Student Executive Board (BEM) which is very important here. Just like me, I am the secretary of this prestigious student organization section of the campus. So I deserve a lot more to be with Rio than you "said Sister Linda as she pushed my left shoulder with both fingers.

Feeling content to boast and tear apart my feelings, Sister Linda and her friends left me alone in the back yard of the campus.

I said in my heart, it turns out that Brother Rio is indeed not an arbitrary student at this campus. So it is only natural that many women are after him and want to be close to him. I'd better stay away from Brother Rio! Thought. Why does my heart reject it?

It feels like my brain is currently ordering me to stay away from Kak Rio but as if my heart is against it and saying that I want to always be with him because when I am with Kak Rio I feel alive and happy. No need to have her, just seeing her smile is enough to make me happy.

In a battle of mind and mind, I continued to tread slowly towards the path that led me into the campus building to the main square. But when I arrived at the black gate, I found the door locked and padlocked neatly.

It seems that the girls did want to prank me even though I was honest and indeed there was no relationship between me and sister Rio.

I tried to get out of this place by shaking the iron fence while shouting to call anyone to open it for me. Because if I don't, I'll definitely stay here all night and I don't want to.

"Hello .. halooooo .. please anyone who listens to me. Please open this iron turnstile ...!" I shouted in a high voice and I felt that my shout was very strong, but it seemed that no one was listening to me. Maybe because the distance between the crowd of lecturers, students, and security guards was far from where I was currently.

An hour passed, it was getting dark and even the sound of teaching had been heard from the nearest mosque. I was very scared and confused, if only I brought a cell phone for sure at this time I could contact Kak Rio or Feli to help me. But unfortunately we are not allowed to bring a mobile phone while in campus recognition activities.

I felt the atmosphere of the campus was already very quiet, even I did not listen to the boisterous voice that had been ringing in my ears since. Feeling no choice, I clenched my hands tightly together and determined to climb the black iron fence that was about 2.5 meters high.

It felt impossible to me, but I had no choice but to do so because I no longer wanted to be trapped in a gripping situation. With my heart pounding, I tried to raise my right leg to the lowest section of the fence before me.

I arrived above the highest part of the fence and I lost my balance so that my body swayed over the black fence. But I kept trying to hold on tight to the pointed ends of the fence.

Then when I felt confident that the first one to land was my two feet, I immediately jumped until I fell on the cold black floor.

My head hit the floor until it hurt and spit out a little blood. In the down position, I touched my injured forehead with my right hand. "Auh ..." I said softly while grimacing withstanding the pain of a minor wound.

Both my legs hurt a lot but I was sure that I was strong enough to stand. But the moment I wanted to straighten my head, I saw a pair of dirty-looking female legs barefooted and not touching the floor right in front of me.

Suddenly my heart was racing and all my Roman fur was standing uncontrollably. This is not true, I said in my heart. With trembling lips I closed my eyes and quickly opened my eyes again as I turned my head up to see who was in front of me.

When my eyes were straight ahead, I did not see anyone in front of me. But I felt a mysterious figure was right behind me. I started to get angry and didn't know what to do? It's just that I remember Mr. Joseph saying, "Maybe, they just want to be considered to exist. "

"It's magrib and I know this is your time, but I didn't intentionally and didn't intend to interfere. I'm stuck here too, so .. I'm asking not to hurt me." I said in a trembling voice.

I felt that there was no movement from the mysterious creature, so I decided to run as fast as possible. As I passed through some of the rooms that looked dark due to the lights being deliberately not turned on, I could see some creepy figures and all their eyes were pointed at me.

I was so scared and kept crying. I also continued to run towards the main gate of the campus door which felt very far away. No, no way, I don't think I can reach that door. It feels so far away. I said in my heart while looking at the floor for fear of looking left, right, or forward.

But at the same time, I felt two hands touching my shoulders. "Aren't you papa Sarah? Where have you been? I've been looking for you ever since." said Feli as he looked at my face that was already soaked in sweat.

"Feli .. help me. " I said because I felt so scared.

"Already, already, just relax. Let's get out of here !" said Feli while holding both my shoulders and taking me out of the main building.

"Sister Rio, Brother Rio, Brother ... Sarah has been here with me. " said Feli yelling to call out the name of Kak Rio several times.

"Geez Sarah, you don't papa?" kak Rio asked who came to me and Feli with a security guard who is on guard duty tonight. " Where have you been Sarah? We're all looking for you and worried. Look at your head hurt like this. Oh my God... What should I say to your father?" asked Kak Rio while wiping the blood on my forehead with his jacket shirt.

"Surely someone is bullying Sarah, I'm sure it is" said Feli with a face that looked furious. "Awas ya .. " continued Feli, clenching his right hand tightly and I just watched without answering.

"Is that true Sarah? " ask Brother Rio.

"Sister, take me home. I just want to go home "I said while adjusting the breath that had been choked. "Feli, you should also go home soon! It's not good for you here to linger. "

"really so. Moreover, this magrib, we should leave this building. "said the security guard who was with us and he seemed to understand the haunted situation of the campus.

Feli went home using an online motorcycle taxi and security guard back to his post while waiting for a guard friend tonight, and the security guard also looked frightened. While Rio and I also left the campus straight away, before returning home, Rio's sister invited me to treat the wound on my forehead at the clinic not far from the campus.

I confirm Kak Rio's good intentions to me. About 15 minutes into the trip, we arrived at the clinic and Kak Rio took me straight to the room for immediate treatment.

The wound on my forehead is actually not big so it does not take long to treat it. Brother Rio went out first towards the cashier to pay for my treatment and I immediately got off the small bed inside the doctor's room treating my wound. But at the same time, the electricity suddenly went out and I felt like my hands were clutching my neck very strongly, even though I was pretty sure that in this room I was alone.

"Aaaak .. aaak .. aaaak .. aaakkk ... aaaak.... " My screams were all my might while holding a mysterious, extremely strong hand clutching my neck.

Shortly from the outside I heard quick footsteps and said, "What's up Sarah? You why? " It turns out that was the voice of Brother Rio.

"Help me, brother, please. Someone wants to hurt me." I said in tears and Brother Rio immediately pulled my hand from the doctor's room and then he turned on his phone to give light to me.

Several nurses and doctors approached me and asked what happened so I shouted like that but I was not strong to answer it and at the same time Brother Rio gave me a warm hug so I could more calmly.

In the arms of Brother Rio, I cried while immersing my face in his left chest. "Crying ...! It'sit's okay. Throw away all your pain and fear Sarah! Throw it on my chest. Relax, I'm here to take care of you. Sorry if I was negligent" said Kak Rio while stroking my hair gently and hugging my body very tightly.

It feels warm and comfortable. Instantly my anxiety and fear disappeared without me getting kicked out. I'm grateful because right now there's someone who cares so much about me and so wants me to be calm and secure. I hope all this can last a long time maybe even forever.

"Is this better? " asked Brother Rio who was whispering right in my left ear and I nodded my head which I was still sticking to his chest.

"Thank God .." said Kak Rio while sticking his chin on the crown of my head and throwing his long, deep breath.
