The Girl Of Darkness

"Don't you think the spirit I met with Miu, that includes to Astral something? Hahaha don't joke," Panji said laughing.

Sato looked at his friend with a serious look. "Your spirit leaves your body and moves freely to Miu's place because you always miss her. Without feeling like you keep doing it," he explained.

"Hey, Sato. Miu it.." said Panji who tried to explain the situation.

"In my school there is a transfer student named Miu Matsuragi," Sato said.

"What?" Ask the banner is unclear. "You're kidding, right? Sato," Panji said, patting his hand gently.

"THE MIU REALLY EXISTS! I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT AT FIRST BUT, IT'S MIU!" Shouted Sato who was finally overjoyed and held Panji's shoulder.

Hearing that both of Panji's hands shook and he lowered his head as if in disbelief. Panji could not say anything and held his blanket.

"No, no. Miu it's just my delusion, in the dream I can move freely, can embrace it. Can.." Panji said stop saying and lowered his face.

Still in a heartwarming and joyful atmosphere, Sato continued to tell stories. "She told me yesterday that you first met on a white boat when she picked up her dad, right?" Sato asked smiling.

"That's.." Panji said he couldn't say anything.

"He told it to all his club members and it just so happened that my club was right next to him. You took his hat that fell into the sea, you also told me the same thing. He said the man's name was Panji Hermawan. That's your name" Sato said.

Not with Panji, he was getting tighter holding onto his own clothes and started to get a bit dizzy. "No-no" he said slowly.

"You understand, don't you, Panji? You may not believe it, but it is reality! You should be glad to finally be able to meet him," said Sato patting his shoulder somewhat enviously.

"Sato," said Panji who refused to hear him again.

"Whether it's a miracle or something, I've met the real Miu! You got it, right? It wasn't just a dream. Now I understand why the Miu you are telling me is confused. Because you have actually loved Miu for a long time in the real world. Cheer up, man," said Sato holding both hands.

"Why should?" Tanya Panji turned her face away. There is a look on the face that implies disappointment or rather fear dear Sato is still carried away by the atmosphere of excitement.

"As far as I've heard, he just loves you. Tomorrow I'll bring him here, I'm sure you'll be very happy after seeing him" Sato said proudly.

Hearing him, his heart was getting sicker. He knew for sure that if Miu really came it would be very painful. Either immediately leave Panji who already loves him or... Miu cried roaring.

"Ja.." said Panji who started sweating.

"What?" Sato asked not clearly heard.

"Don't!" Panji said endure the pain.

"Lho's? Wh why? Aren't you... The pennant?" Sato asked who finally realized something.

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO MEET HIM!" Shouted Panji while crying.

"Panji," said Sato who finally realized that he had been quite outrageous.

While panting Panji was still trying to speak. "Sato, ja..don't take it," said Panji who suddenly fainted.

"Pa.. PENNANT!!!" Shouted Sato then checked his body. Kinda hot.

Panji panicked, Sato called his friend's mother and they all went into Panji's room. The doctor has been called and told his mother to take him to the Hospital. His condition dropped dramatically, Sato was only silent outside the house when Panji was taken away.

That night Panji had a very high fever, Sato's house, which was only 2 houses away, was still staring at the Panji house lights that were still burning until the next day.

Several days passed without any news from the Panji house. Sato went there but his house was locked tightly and headed for school. Sato's mother who asked her news heard that Panji was still in high fever and cried.

At school, Sato continued to be moody, friends encouraged him news about Panji of course they also heard. At that time Miu had not come after all Miu must have thought the name Panji was a lot.

When he came home from school, he walked to the club. At any meeting what the chairman said he couldn't hear. His thoughts were only to a Panji because he felt very guilty.

Sato then asked permission to go to the toilet and leave the room. He accidentally hears some talk in Miu's club room.

"Perhaps the name of the Panji is just imagination in a dream" said A.

"No really! He really exists" said Miu who seemed to disagree.

"What are they talking about?" Sato was hiding.

"What the hell is this?" Ask another Member.

"Miu's prince hasn't appeared in days" C said.

They all shook their heads. "Geez! Just because of that? Be aware Miu you are too much," said the other sighing.

Miu didn't care if she was crying. "The end of this time has never been like this until midnight, by late afternoon, until dawn there is no rule when he appears. But it had never appeared until these few days," said Miu who was still crying.

Others are somewhat saturated to hear the story of Miu every time the Club.

"One time your story, dreams are called reality. I'm lazy if I have to enter the club, then hear you tell the story of the dream," said A then out followed by some members.

The rest looked at each other including the Club chairman. Although Miu just joined but there must be firmness.

"Here you go, Miu don't cry. Perhaps the time is near for you to meet him," said the Chairman.

"Time?" Miu asked to stop crying. Realizing some members of the Garden club had already opted out, he became uneasy.

Miu wiped her tears. "Yes, yes, too. I'm sorry the club members came out because of my story," Miu said apologizing.

Then Miu came out apparently the members were standing waiting for Miu to finish. Miu apologized to everyone.

One night Sato is called by his mother Panji by phone.

"Sato, Panji's mother said, Panji wants to see you. Quick," said his mother approaching the dreamy Sato.

Sato immediately ran to his house and was greeted by all the family. Sato thumped there was an ugly feeling regarding this all, he entered Panji's room.

Panji was lying in his bed, his face was a bit pale and Sato was crying right then and there. "I'm sorry! I forgot how you are" Sato said, hugging his best friend.

The pennant caressed his head. "Hehehe turns out my heart is like glass. Already, it's okay to understand," he said with a smile.

"Panji," said Sato who was still sobbing.

"Daddy yes, because it's so painful to not be able to dream. Miu must be anxious," Panji said with a tired laugh.

"Panji, Anu." said Sato wanting to ask.

"Don't tell Miu about my situation. I'm very healthy with him, when I'm with him I don't have to worry about my pain. I can run wherever I like, up the mountain like a dream" Panji recalled.

"You can do it! I always pray for your heart to heal" Sato said sadly.

"Yes, I would love to go to school with you. Swimming, running, anything. You don't be surprised, I even had a fight with the thugs who wanted to disturb Miu. Because it was to me a dream, I was so strong. Miu called me Superman. I'm so happy, really," Panji said with his last tears.

Sato hugged her again, she did not want to think of anything despite knowing this was the final code of her journey.

"Sato," said Panji who hugged Sato.

"What?" Sato asked in a soft voice.

"Let him not know that the real Panji Hermawan has a glass heart that can do nothing" Panji said, hugging his friend tightly.

"Don't say that. I promise," said Sato letting go of her embrace.

"I'm just a guy lying in bed. I don't want him to find out. Promise me, don't say anything about me in front of him" Panji said staring sadly at his friend.

"I promise. Sure is! That's why don't go! Keep living and meet Miu and tell me what you're doing" Sato said.

"Basar crybaby! You still cry like this. Alu thank God, can meet and know you and then Miu," Panji said.

"Panner," said Sato who began to feel the danger marks on his comrade.

"Sato, please take care of Miu for me huh. You're the only one I know who can better protect her. Do that for me, you like it too, don't you? Promise yes," Panji said in a voice that slowly began to descend.

"I promise I'll take care of it for you. Hey, hold on I beg you," said Sato who started crying again and hugged his friend. Intentionally listening to his heartbeat.

The banner embraced him as well and fell asleep in eternity. All the family already knew that the time was only until tonight and the strengthening of Sato.

"Sato kept fighting to grab my heart. He tried to prove by betting with me that Panji would never come back again. That the prince of dreams had gone far with a very beautiful princess. She made me cry then. When I was in college, Sato was also in one college until she finally proposed to me. I could not say anything and continued to wait for Panji. I can only hope with all my heart, but." said Grandma Miu speaking to the white mist.

"Well, when do you keep telling me about dreams? It's time you got married. Sato is waiting for you faithfully in our opinion he is very suitable to be your companion. Already fight your illusions and make us calm," his parents persuaded.

Time then returned, Grandma Miu was standing and staring at the time clock that had stopped beating, back towards the needle like the beginning. The grandmother was looking for Eris who was concocting something.

"This..still in the store? It's weird," he said.

Yuri then went to the grandmother. "Are you going to order?" Ask.

"ah! Of course, this hour made me go on a thrilling journey" said the grandmother handed her watch to Yuri.

"But, Grandma. Sorry this clock has been damaged so it is impossible to move anymore," Yuri said showing the screws were absent as well as the battery.

"What's? But I myself saw the clock moving backwards and I saw myself in the past" he explained.

Yuri was confused as well as the grandmother. Finally the grandmother found out that this store is not just an ordinary store and smiled.

"It's okay, son, thanks to this clock, I can know the truth" he laughed and sat down.

Yuri nodded. The grandmother ordered hot chicken soup with bread. He paid and slept in his room.

By morning, seagulls are seeding. Arae, Eris, Raven and Yuri are already returning excited to go home. The grandmother was also preparing to descend on Eris.

"Son, are you going home too?" Ask.

Eris looked at the grandmother. "Yes. How was your trip?" Ask Eris.

"How... clock!" The grandmother said.

"Time delay clock. You have something to prove, right? Although it was a bit painful," Eris said in her flat tone.

The grandmother smiled this time she could accept her husband after seeing his past and then parted ways. The clock that was in his hand was now fading slowly into a shard of golden sparkle. Yuri stared in admiration. The clock's work is over.
