The Other Side's

Visiting Radit (2)

Flashbacks

The night was very quiet, not even the wind blew. Radit was sleeping in his room. A creature was looking at it from outside the bedroom. Suddenly the figure entered through the walls of Radit's house and approached Radit.

"It seems like the right person." The moment the figure's words were finished, it went straight into Radit's body. Instantly Radit immediately convulsed and shouted to wake up his entire house. Radit screamed like he refused to let a figure into his body, but it was too late. The figure had entered Radit's body and tried to control his body.

The figure seemed to want to convey something through Radit, but before being able to convey something, the figure was immediately lost by shouting the name Netra.

The moment the figure left from Radit's body shook violently and Radit woke up. His mouth immediately spat out blood vomit. He felt like he was being attacked by a magical figure. I don't know what happened to him, he thought. He was fully aware when the figure was within him. There are only two things Radit can conclude. The figure wanted to take care of Netra or harm her. What is certain is that the figure is closely related to Netra.

Radit felt his body became unfit after the incident that night. His body heat continued to increase until he was forced to have permission not to go to school. Radit's been resting at his house for the whole day. But instead of improving, the opposite is true. Radit's body temperature didn't drop at all even though he was on medication. Bi Ina, a household assistant and caregiver of Radit from childhood felt there was something strange about Radit's illness. Especially when he accidentally heard a figure disguised as Radit shouting the name Netra.

The next day, Netra went to school on her own. It just so happens that he doesn't meet Sandy on the street like it did yesterday. Netra felt she was still unable to deal with such a threatening look. Arriving at school, he saw Sandy who was already sitting in her chair. The class was empty, there was only Sandy sitting while putting her head on her hands.

"Is he asleep?" thought Netra while sitting on the chair opposite to Sandy's chair. As if imitating Sandy's movements, Netra also did the same thing while staring at Sandy who was closing her eyes. Netra seemed to forget that her seat was behind Sandy, not opposite her.

After more than 5 minutes of Netra staring and admiring Sandy, Sandy opened her eyes and she reflexively woke up from her chair and moved to the seat behind Sandy.

"He's funny" Sandy muttered with a small smile.

The longer the class is more fully filled and does not feel the doorbell sound. All the students at this school immediately sat down and began their learning. When the break came, Netra immediately approached Sandy and talked about yesterday.

"San, yesterday I went to Radit's but Radit ain't there. Mbok Ina said he was being treated in hospital. Is it that bad it hurts?" said Netra.

"What's? Radit treated?" Sandy was shocked to hear from Netra.

"Yes, I want to take you away for Radit's visit today. You got a tutoring schedule, San?" ask Netra.

"Okay, later after school we go to the hospital, yes, this is the address, yesterday I asked Mbok Ina," Netra said as she handed over a paper containing the address of the hospital where Radit was treated.

After school, they both go to Sandy's house first. Sandy waited for her to change clothes. After finishing, Sandy immediately invited Netra to his garage.

"Where are you going, San?" asked Netra who was confused when invited by Sandy.

"Garasi, we can't walk to the hospital right," Sandy said.

"I forgot he was a rich man's son" murmured Netra.

Sandy headed to her black car, seen some other cars that never seemed to be used Sandy, but still in good condition.

"Let's go up," Sandy asked as she opened the car door for Netra.

"Umm, yes," replied Netra who went straight into Sandy's car.

"Jeez I'm just alone with Sandy in this cool car, why it's like a scene in the movies" Netra thought.

Sandy glanced at Netra who was still daydreaming with a small smile.

"Ra.." Sandy's voice was blocked. He approached Netra. Netra reflex instantly closed her eyes.

"Pake used to be the belt, how to walk," Sandy said as she put her Netra seatbelt on. The embarrassed Netra finally instantly corrected her position and her seatbelt.

"Ah yes, I can do it myself anyway" Netra said in a panic.

Sandy looks smiling at Netra's behavior and she immediately runs her car to Netra's house.
