"I'm bothering you guys, sorry.." Alfath reversing body. "Why are you here yourself?" aldo's question then stopped his steps, as well as a question for my curiosity.
"I wanted to find my girlfriend, but apparently she didn't want to see me today" and she continued her steps, leaving us by the side of the library room.
A lover? The owner of the music box? instantly I feel something pain in my foot, sweetheart? Is her boyfriend in that mysterious place? and then the place is no longer there, not even a sign of the former trees or algae plants there. What the hell is going on?

I was twirling my balpoin on the table, as usual I came the earliest and there was no one in this class but me, today is Monday, the bells were rung earlier than usual due to routine flag ceremonies. But it seems like it's a long time, and I can sit here longer.
I was still inexhaustible, laughing about that place, where two days ago a strange incident happened to me. The burden of my mind piled up, just now in the mading I read the article that cornered me again.
I don't know how many posts they make that are titled
"indigo‟ child danger, maybe today I will be back in-bully exhausted.
Not only that, under my desk, there was another flower, another piece of paper, this was the fourth flower and the fourth paper, she said, 3 Flowers and 3 papers earlier I deliberately brought home and I put them in a box and I put them in the room. And two more, about the music box is also the mysterious Alfath, and the suspicious guy, who keeps an eye on me every time I go home from school. But fortunately lately I have not heard any strange noises that bother me, at least something is less than my burden.
Has that place really changed? What do I visit often, what exactly is that place?
I kept thinking about it, silent staring blankly at the door, there was no one passing by out there, the state of the school was still quiet.
I got up from my seat, it seemed like I should check the place once again.
I walked cautiously towards the back of the library, I closed my eyes, felt the side of the wall to make my step right, in my palm was already the corner of the building, I opened my eyes slowly, I felt my steps right,
And that place...
Back in front of my eyes, priceless, shady and dim trees, then what happened yesterday? What is this place exactly? I was haunted by curiosity, I was not on the foundation behind the library, but I continued my steps towards the trees. Maybe there's something there that can answer my question.
There was nothing, just this shade and these trees, just like the previous state, but there was something different, something that smelled fragrant, she said, whether it was from the fragrance of flowers or from the viscous liquid, but there were no flowers around here, only dried leaves were already scattered underneath.
I walked more and more through these trees, the smell was getting stinging to fill the cavity in my nose, the smell was getting sharper, but I found nothing here, and I think the smell has gone up to my esophagus.
And as soon as my head became so dizzy, my vision turned orange-yellow like the color of the sky at dusk, and...
*****
"Where am I?" my vision was blurred, my head was not dizzy, something soft supported my head back, slowly opened my eyes, and, my frowning held back the eyelids that still felt heavy but I managed to open them.
"You're in the UKS room" someone answered my question. I turned to the right, as if I was on the bed, a little close to the white P3K box with a red plus sign that became its main symbol.
I looked for that figure, the one who answered my question just now, I turned my head, maybe he was on the side of the wall, shit, my gaze was too heavy, but there was a shadow of someone, he was standing there, he was standing there, leaning his back against the wall, putting both his hands into his pants pocket, his sneakers that I already knew, Alfath? Why is he here, and why am I in the same room with him.
He turned his steps, then stood beside the bed, I no longer needed to look up.
"Why indeed? what exactly is that place?" I snarled, Alfath smiled wryly, then lowered his head for a moment.
"Nothing, I told you, maybe there's a stinger there.." Stinger? What is meant by Alfath as a stinger is it an animal like a bee or a stinging woman?
"But no bees or anything like that, and that fragrance?" I thought back to the fragrance that had knocked me unconscious. Alfath raised a little bit of his eyebrows, this time he had a little expression than usual, but I still could not guess, whether there was something that was kept secret by him.
"You ask too many questions, fortunately I found you lying there, resting.." Alfath turned his body around, it seemed like I had to stop him.
"Wait.." My voice may still sound weak.
"What else is it?" he didn't turn his back, apparently he told me to talk to his back.
"I want to ask something." My question then made him turn around, while out there was the sound of reading the text of Pancasila from the ceremonial builder, apparently the ceremony has been going on since I had not been awake just now.
"What mean?" this time I got a chance.
"Why was Saturday afternoon that I didn't see any trees there? There was only an arid land behind the library.." Parauku, it felt like my energy was maximal to raise a little volume to make it sound to the ears of Alfath.
"When a person is really looking for a purpose, and there is a person to go to, that's when the place is found.." Alfath smiled wryly again,
"You're wrong, you said everyone could find it because it's a school area, unfortunately it's not a school area" she said, then she turned her back, putting on a grey hat with the garuda emblem, it looks like he will be following the flag ceremony, and leaving me here alone.
What did he say just now, someone who was really looking for a purpose, and someone to go to? I stroked my forehead, my curiosity increased again, the atoms were porous again, what was this? Who's Alfath? And what place is that? This cycle was so confusing to me, he came suddenly, and went ice-cold. Until now he never asked me what my name was.

It was the third hour of study, I felt better than before, it seemed like I was able to return to class, I was helped by the UKS officer to get out of bed.
"Are you sure you feel better?" a woman propped my hand up to her shoulder, her age was in her 20s and up, she was friendly and indeed her duty was here.
"Yes, I'm better." I convinced him that somehow Alfath brought me here, I don't know when he did it, which I knew was him when I first opened my eyes after being unconscious.

"Look at the tilapia boy is back.." The gun wants to kill me again, I mean the mockery, the atmosphere in the classroom is crowded, there are no teachers, there are empty hours, I don't pay attention to them, I don't pay attention to them, I sneaked in on the field after field of four white ceramic floors, my head bowed, they were still laughing at me.
"You've read the article on the mading, right?" One of them chirped again, like the queen of the class, the centile Cindy.
"Then you better keep your distance from the tilapia." His laughter suddenly broke and was followed by his golongs, those who were just as stupid.
My emotions rose, it was possible that my face had turned red, I stood up, running out. This place is already like hell, long time I can die here.
