PILLOWS and dolls air in Aurel's room. Attack after attack he did to invisible creatures who tried to approach him. Everything was thrown towards ghost—though he also realized that none of the ghosts would feel the pain of being hit by it. Never mind feeling the pain, even being touched by it becomes taboo for them.

Aurel is not naive. He even admitted that he was sad after ending his relationship with Danial. There are many sweet memories with that man. It is hard to forget in an instant. At times like this Aurel doesn't want anyone to bother him. All Aurel needed was calmness by staying in the room, not entertainment from anyone. Moreover, the entertainment of the ghosts that inhabit his room.

The risk in a relationship is definitely the answer is heartbreak. Humans cannot predict the way of life in the future. Let alone people dating. Even couples who are clearly bound in a marriage relationship can separate. Positive thinking may be the relationship between Danial and Aurel ended because God wanted to spare Aurel from the wrong person. Danial might not be the right person for her.

Still is. There were already many ways that Aurel had gone in terms of trying to make his mind improve, but the companions of the shadow that revolved around his head did not give him permission. Every time his feelings began to calm down, his sweet memories of being alone with Danial came to his head.

The phone lying next to him was taken. There were over twenty calls. Not from Danial, but from Leana. Chances are that the girl is in a state of anxiety because Aurel did not give her the news that she had come home in a taxi after her argument with Danial earlier.

"Geez, why did I forget to make Leana nervous" Aurel said. He can feel the panic that inhabits his friend through messages and calls that have not been answered by the person concerned.

Aurel looks for Leana's contacts on her phone. At least he had to give news if he was at home and his condition was fine.

"Why just pick up the phone from me now? You don't know how panicked I fit nyariin lo but don't see you," once the phone connection connected Leana immediately berated his best friend.

Aurel was speechless not because she was out of words or maybe afraid to answer. He was still silent as his hands were busy wiping the remains of his tears with a tissue.

"Hello Rail? How is diem? You're all right?" lycar Leana.

"Sorry," Aurel said. Goddamnit! The girl's mind beat her head. He should have tuned his voice to sound relaxed, but the one that slipped from his lips just now was a raucous whimper. Aurel is sure that soon Leana will be asking questions related to her current feelings.

"Why is the sound of the cake on the rail? Lo abis crying?" as expected Leana immediately felt suspicious after hearing Aurel's reply earlier. Aurel even felt his best friend had extraordinary sensitivity.

"Don't ngaco An! I'm not crying. I have the flu again. That's why my voice is a little shady."

"Eh, don't try to lie to me, you don't want to. I know you not from yesterday afternoon Rel. I can differ where your voice fits the flu again, and where your voice fits again sad or cry out."

Aurel breathed in the free air around him, disposing of it immediately. "My relationship with Danial is over An" I'm Aurel. Nothing can be hidden anymore. Leana's her best friend, she deserves to know about this. In addition, it will also slowly spread as well. Before Leana heard it from anyone else, Aurel would have chosen to say it in person.

"Lo Sumpeh, Rail?" surprised the girl across there.

"An Oath. I met Danial right in the mini market earlier. Not with her brother, she's both with Maurine."

"Kan, what I said came true. From the gelagatnya already be able to read that Maurine still has the same feelings lo girlfriend."

"Former to be more precise," Aurel's correction.

"That's what I mean."

"But it's not Maurine's fault."

"Enough Rel lo belain him again, puff my ears ngedengernya," annoyed Leana.

"It's not meant to be, but it's not because of Maurine. I broke up with Danial because I can't stand being lied to by him anymore. He said the road was together, but what happened was the road with Maurine."

"Tetep aja Maurine contributed to the breakup of lo the relationship with Danial."

"Danial dong An is wrong. If even suppose Maurine ngajakin he walked both ways like that was supposed to be Danial nolak or maybe ngabarin to me first about it. But what did Danial do? He even lied to me on behalf of Davina alias adeknya. Even though I never had An, ngebatasin friendship Danial with anyone, I never even forbid him to go with anyone. I'm just asking him to honestly go with who, but it looks really hard for him to accept."

"Gue to your house?" tawar Leana's. "Thank you for nenangin lo."

"Necessary. It's midnight too."

"Yes, you just take a break on the rail. I don't want your condition to drop anymore considering you just healed."

"Yes, after the same call, I promise to go to bed immediately."

"See you!!"

Phone connection disconnected.

...●●●●●...

DANIAL sat down while folding his hands in front of his chest. His gaze nyalang forward to pay attention to the atmosphere of his environment which is wrapped by the darkness of the night. It has become his habit every time there is a problem he usually comes to this place. For him the most comfortable place in his house in the sense of calming his mind is the rooftop.

Some strange apparitions did not escape the reach of his eyes. But the Danial now is not as good as it used to be. Although sometimes he would respond with a jolt whenever an apparition suddenly appeared before him.

"Sister!"

"Hmmm," through a dehumanizing Danial responds to his sister.

"Sorry, Brother before."

"Sorry.." Danial had not yet finished his sentence and his sister had acted to snatch a cigarette from his brother's hand. Not only robbing, Davina also killed the cigarette by stepping on it using the footwear he used. Not just that cigarette. His box lying on the table did not escape the wrath of a Davina. And now that box of cigarettes ended up on the ground after Davina threw them. "Kok dumped?"

"Don't you learn the dangers of smoking in biology?" asked Davina rhetorically, "Do you need Davina to go back to the room to get her biology book, and I keep reading it to Brother, its side effects on health?" cerocos Davina was responded to by Danial.

"No need, I already know the side effects."

Plaque! Davina knocked on her brother's head. "Do you know the side effects, so why is it still happening?"

"You're starting to be disrespectful to your brother."

"It's precisely because Davina doesn't want to squirm Brother is sick so I'm hardin. It is sometimes Danial nyebelin. But the fact is Danial's sister is Davina. How could I possibly be doing something that could adversely affect Big Brother's health" Davina said. "So long time ago Davina did not squirm Big Brother smoking like gini, what's the problem?"

"Silver break up with Aurel."

Davina tidied up the bangs that slightly blocked her view, "Why can you?"

"Misunderstand at first. I'll make sure you go to the mini market but you didn't come. Uh accidentally brother met Maurine there, he happened to buy something too. But unfortunately Aurel also came and finally caught us both there. Aurel accused Big Brother of lying because the moment he called me to say it to the mini market with you, but there he just squirms I'm with Maurine."

"I'm sorry, sister, Davina had to design the paper task first so she could not come. But Davina promised I'd make it clear that everything was the same, Aurel."

Danial's hand raised revealing the palm. "No need, it seems like breaking up is the best option."

"What then? Didn't I love Aurel anymore?"

"Honestly still," Danial honestly answered according to his little heart. "But what is love without a foundation of mutual trust?" continued.

"But Brother..."

"Udahlah. Let this be my brother's business."

"I'm sorry again, because of Davina..."

"Udah dong!" cut Danial, "Stop wronging yourself, this is all fate."

...●●●●●...

NAKULA realized there was something different about her sister. At the dinner table, he didn't talk as much as he did. In addition Nakula also realized that his sister's appetite was a little disturbed no matter what the cause.

"Silver seems to be in the grave now," while watching Nakula's front road initiates a conversation with Aurel who is mostly dreamy while taking a sitting position next to him. "Be careful how you dream mulu, ntar even trance."

"Where would you like to grumble, the ghosts in this car are all familiar Aurel."

The deg! Instantly I sat Nakula's feathers. I swear to whatever Nakula regretted alluding to her brother's trance. If the word 'pull message' applies in the real world, Nakula will use it now.

"Oh yes, why today you want to be ushered with Brother? Where is your boyfriend going? How can you not nganterin?"

"Not to be discussed, like there is no other discussion," said Aurel lazy to discuss about Danial.

"Wait a minute" Danial's eyes suddenly squinted. He was like recognizing a motorbike that had just overtaken his car at a decent rate. "That's not a Danial motor, is it?"

Aurel looked up at the front road. It felt like the burden on him was increasing. How could Danial forget that so soon? Not even twenty-four hours had Aurel cut ties, but Danial had shown his closeness to Maurine.

"Kok he even jerked another girl, instead of piggybacking you? That girl is Danial?"

"So it's up to him to shake who," replied Aurel indifferently.

"Do you need your brother to chase him and his bonyokin face in front of you?"

"Not to."

"Aren't you jealous?" ask Nakula.

"No."

"Don't you two..."

"Yes," Aurel cut in, followed by a short breath, "I'm the same Danial has officially broken up."

"Why?"

"I'm lazy again Kak's story, better focus on driving!" cold Aurel. The girl reached into the backpack taking the earphones.
