A quiet room for the owner of normal eyes is not a lonely guarantee for those who have a sixth sense or generally known as the sixth sense. As Aurel felt today. Although he was reading a book in the family room but the activity of supernatural beings did not escape the reach of his eyes.
Every now and then Aurel looked up to see ghosts in the form of children running around each other. With legs that certainly do not tread the floor of the house, the ghost in the form of children is excited to act like humans in general.
“Jason, Jackson! Don't run around baby, ntar fell!” aurel, horrified to see the two creatures running around laughing at each other.
“Stranquil, even if we fall, we will not feel pain. We both are ghosts.” Said one of them.
Aurel nodded, “Sorry, Brother forgot that you two will never get sick again.”
The two children continued playing until they unknowingly climbed upstairs through the stairs.
Jackson and Jason are twins who have lived in the living room for over a hundred years. Before this house was massively overhauled they had already lived first in this place.
Although it existed before Aurel was born, but the stature of both remained as children aged seven years.
Aurel was a child when he asked and one of them replied that his form would follow when they died. One more thing, which Aurel knew both died because of the disease that was endemic in the era of Indonesia was not yet independent.
A desolate atmosphere hit Aurel's world right after the creatures inhabiting his family room went nowhere.
“Gue bored vows!” Aurel mutters. His hand was then used to close the novel that had accompanied him. No more Davina who often offers him to watch with Korean dramas, no more Danial the human annoying who often makes Aurel murmur with his sometimes absurd act.
Last afternoon, Davina and Danial returned home after she received a call from her father. Yes, their parents have returned from Palembang.
“Sepi also yes no them.” Eluh Aurel's. There was nothing he could joke with. Especially at this time his mother had slept first with sleepy reasons. Nakula was also outside, not returning since he was licensed around five this afternoon. Even the ghostly figures in the form of small children are even more pleased with their respective affairs than accompanying Aurel to spend his sense of affection.
Aurel had just risen from her seat but the figure of an armless male creature with a face covered in blood appeared. Not surprised at all, even Aurel only showed a sour look as if he did not like his presence.
“You want to do more lo?” now Aurel is doing a little massage on his temple. He'd hate it if a ghost asks for his help.
Not that pengedean will be asked for help, but before showing himself for the umpteenth time Aurel had met him when out of the mini market. The ghost wants to ask Aurel for help.
“Lo why follow until home?” to be honest Aurel felt a little annoyed when there was a figure from another dimension asking for his help. He felt quite burdened with his worldly problems and the ghost even added to the burden of his mind. “It's better that you finish your own problem, I know your other hand. I am not the one who hit Lo.”
It disappeared for a moment before the figure reappeared by displaying its worst side. Unmitigated the figure again showed his creepy form a few inches in front of Aurel.
Aurel clucked. He had expected the ghost to do it. Not the first time, Aurel often witnessed several ghostly figures that displayed creepy faces as he tried to reject his will.
“Lo think I'm scared? There go!” with a resolute tone Aurel attacked the ghost.
Pretty magical because the ghost disappeared according to Aurel's will.
The one being spoken to verbally began to turn his body towards the woman at the other end. It turns out that that person was Sarah, her mother.
“Abias mah, there are ghosts who follow Aurel from mini market.”
Sarah shuddered, “You are, why do you say the same mama anyway if again see a ghost. Kan mama scared.” Automatic Sarah's head moves checking around her.
“Kan mama nanya, so Aurel replied deh,” Aurel replied in a resigned tone. All wrong, answered wrong, not answered more wrong.
“Yes, you go to the bedroom, tomorrow on Monday, late again!”
“Iya mah, this again want to go to the room!”
...●●●●●...
AUREL abandoned her intention to sleep as Sarah had instructed. It is raining outside. And the girl did not want to miss the moment.
Intentionally the girl made the atmosphere of her room look dim by just turning on the sleeping lights.
The direction of his body he shifted a little, until his initial goal to the bed was shifted to the thing that took some of his mind. Aurel then brought her footsteps to the edge of the window. His hands were quite fast when raised used to reveal the curtains.
The srek!
Look at the atmosphere outside that looks calm. The roar of rain accompanied by the light of the full moon made everything seem peaceful. Although with the fact of the activity of other creatures but Aurel does not want to take a headache.
Every time it rains Aurel's mind doesn't escape the shadows of the past. There were a row of dark stories that he tried to hide until now.
From the age of seven, Aurel hated himself. Every time he looked in the mirror, his anger floated to the surface. Of the many peers of his age, none of them believed in Aurel's words, not infrequently they even labeled Aurel was not sane because he acted strangely.
Let alone his peers. Even Nakula often mocked him with frills are not sane. Perhaps at a young age, the words uttered by Nakula were in a joking context. But the words containing the sneer weighed on Aurel's mind.
Aurel, who was seven years old, wanted to jump from the rooftop. He wanted to end his suffering. He wants to be free from an environment that only makes it feel like he was born different.
Aurel is tired of living with a partition that sets him apart from the outside world.
Luckily, he meets a blonde ghost named Jeane. Jeane came to give him a life spirit. Jeane constantly comforts her as Aurel is tired of facing reality.
For the first time Aurel realized that he was able to open a dialogue with the magical gate after Jeane stopped him, which at that time almost dropped his body from the rooftop.
If it is too late a few seconds it is likely that Aurel has been born as a curious ghost as well as the figures he has been meeting.
Don't jump! You have to live no matter how. Never fight Aurel's destiny.
That's what Jeane said when she saw Aurel's suicide attempt. Aurel had even forgotten the continuation because it had been many years since the incident took place. But one thing's for sure, Jeane has been stubborn in saving her life.
“Gue misses lo Je,” suddenly the sentence comes off her lips. Since the incident 10 years ago, Jeane no longer appears. Aurel has tried various ways, he even called out Jeane's name while he was on the rooftop but Jeane seemed unwilling to show his form.
“Gue even just want to say thank you because you have forbidden me to end my life at that time,” lirih Aurel is still staring out the window.
The Aurel that was seen at this time was already strong enough to deal with the problem. After all in school he was surrounded by good people who accepted every shortcoming and excess. Moreover, Leana, even though the girl was afraid of the ghost figure, but she still tried to be a good friend to him.
