“AUREL!” screeches that. It seems that none of the humans in Angkasa Raya High School have a sound like that. Only Leana, Aurel strongly believes it.
Footsteps sounded closer.
Aurel became confused when turning around and saw Leana suddenly hugged him, “Gue was sorry Rel for the departure of grandma lo!” very tight embrace Leana so as to cause the effect of tightness for a few moments. “Oh yes, you when is it back from Bandung?” Aurel didn't know what to answer. When releasing his embrace, the girl named Leana was staring at her best friend while waiting for an answer.
“Means?” bewildered. At least one word was quite representative of Aurel's feelings at that time.
“Danial says you go back to Bandung, grandma lo died he said.”
Fuckin' Danial. Aurel.
“Lo just go to class, I want to go back to the parking first, there is still business!” Aurel rushed away leaving Leana who was still full of confusion.
From a distance Aurel watched Danial still riding the motorbike they had previously driven to school. That shitty guy looks solemn playing a cell phone. So serious with his flat object that he did not realize Aurel had been standing next to him with his hands folded in front of his chest.
“Ah shit,” Danial swearing. The tranquility of his life was no longer there after the accident that hit him. The difference may lie in who is surprised. If it is usually a ghost figure, now he is surprised by Aurel.
“Greetings first cake, make a heart sport only early in the morning.” Danial just stroked his chest. Although a loud bang was pivoting on his chest but he held back so that his look remained cool.
“Lo say what to Leana?” Aurel went straight to his main destination back to the parking lot.
“Gue never told her anything? Why why?” Danial frowned. Sure enough he never interacted verbally with Leana when Aurel was absent for two days.
“About aja suddenly he hug I keep saying my condolences, he also sepet say that you who nyampein news.”
Danial. Now he understands the subject. “Oh that.. yesterday pak guru again ngabsen, none of the classmates who know your condition. So I initiative deh say that you again to Bandung because grandma lo died.”
“Jeez Danial, you want to know my grandmother died?”
“It's not dead, is it? A few months ago I went there with my parents!”
“Iya anyway, but..”
Danial clucked. “Gini yes Rail. Instead of you angry indecisive, better say thank you to me! I'm not being honest and saying you don't go to school because you love clapping your hands.”
“Hush!” Aurel panicked and immediately silenced Danial's lips with his hand.
...●●●●●...
ATTENTION ma'am teacher relentlessly shot Aurel. Looks like the girl's condition is not good today. Biology is her favorite lesson. Not infrequently Aurel even asked a few questions when he did not understand the material. But what is happening right now is just the opposite.
Aurel repeatedly tried to focus on the package book in front of her. The letters there seem to move. It seemed to be motionless, it was just that Aurel was a little dizzy so what he saw seemed to be against his law.
“Danial, I ask for anterin Aurel to UKS!”
Danial looked at the girl next to him. “Lo pain Rel?”
“Yes, go to UKS. I'm anterin.” The silence of the class made the other students hear sweet expressions from Danial's lips.
“Ehem. There will be a few more people who are interested in.” Haris. As commanded, the other students shouted the word ‘ciye, ' simultaneously like a choir.
Whether it was due to the effects of fever or indeed because of the effects of the word ‘ciye,’ which surely Aurel felt a significant change in the temperature around his cheeks.
In contrast to Aurel. Danial actually addressed the guyonan classmates calmly. There was hardly any resistance from him.
...●●●●●...
DANIAL gulped his saliva down strongly. His eyes spread throughout the room.
It is unfortunate that some of the rooms in the school seem to be tuned with a scary look typical of horror films. That's what makes Danial feel a little overwhelmed. Especially now that he has been categorized into a list of students who have the advantage of seeing other dimensional beings.
“Fear?” Aurel started to make a sound in a weak tone. Seeing Danial reluctantly continue the move made the girl dare to deduce her own assumptions.
“No,” chest Danial slightly puffed. It seemed like a sense of prestige to admit was a reason for him to pretend to be brave. “Yuk in, you don't have to fear me the way in front kok.”
Aurel nodded once, keeping tailed while staring at Danial's back. The man's steps were directed towards one of the beds there.
The fast moving Danial turned his body. His hand no less quickly pulled Aurel's weak body so that the girl drowned in his embrace. “L-Lo G-Gak Per-lu fear! There's me!” his voice trembled trying to calm the girl in his arms.
“Danial!” reprimand Aurel.
“Lo be calm! I will protect you, no need to fear!”
Aurel is almost mediocre about ghosts. It is precisely Danial who looks so riled up after looking at each other with the ghost of the UKS guard. Aurel could even feel the vibration of the man's body, which might have come from the fear that attacked him.
“Danial.” Call Aurel again. The girl tried to remove Danial's body with potency.
“Don't look towards my back! She's really a serem, I swear!”
“Danial, like a frightened elo deh, not me!”
“Gue not afraid!” the pretext of Danial still had time to raise prestige even though some evidence had been clearly displayed on him. His lips that seemed to be muttering read the prayer, the sweat that had flooded the surface of his face, not to mention with the vibrations of his body. Isn't everything clear? Even Kindergarten's kids know he's scared.
“Kalo not afraid, try lo balikin body and look at the figure for ten seconds.”
The silence of the room made a sound as Danial gulped his salivary clear all the way to Aurel's ears. “Most, five seconds deh.” Danial.
“Oke, five seconds!”
Suddenly Danial held onto his stomach as it flashed in his mind to make excuses, “Aduh…. My stomach hurts so much, Rel, kebelet. I say goodbye first!” the man half-running left Aurel alone in the room.
Aurel published a smile. It's funny to see Danial acting brave in front of him but initially terrified. “Danial, it turns out your body doang segede gaban, ciut also you same ghost.”
Aurel then brings his gaze to the ghost that previously scared Danial. The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
“Soide no you!” Aurel shouted at the male-statured ghost figure. Miraculously, armed only with a shout, Aurel managed to make the figure disappear.
It's not wrong to call me a tigress. Let alone man, even the devil is afraid of me. Inner Aurel. He rested his body on the bed.
