The Other Side's

Curious

"Whose daughter is it? Is the daughter of Aunt Sinta's son? Is it not the Princess, the Princess who is at school?" Netra wondered. In front of him were only his grandmother and aunt Sinta. The person being talked about is not among them.

"What is that princess? Does Grandma have any grandchildren besides me?" Netra is still confused.

Again Netra was carried into a dark empty space. He can't see anything. Suddenly a white shadow approached him.

"Hi, you still know me?"

*****

A little boy came to Netra slowly. Netra retreated in fear. He did not feel familiar with the boy.

"Who are you?" the word Netra stammered.

"You forgot Ra? Why did you forget me?" said the little boy.

All of a sudden..

BRUG..

A car hit the little boy, blood started to come out of the little boy's body. Netra did not believe what she saw in front of her.

"AAAA" Netra awoke from her dream. Her dream just felt real. Granny Sari who heard Netra's cry.

"Rara, what's wrong? Why is Rara screaming? Why is Rara so sweaty? Rara's having a nightmare?" asked her grandmother while stroking Netra's hair.

"Miss, what.." Rara's voice stopped.

"Why baby?" ask her grandmother who still holds her.

"Ah no, maybe because Rara is exhausted and stressed facing the test in another week so Rara has a strange dream. But because there's Rara's grandmother to feel calmer really," said Netra a little lying. He was actually curious about the meaning of his dream. He wanted to ask his grandmother. However, he couldn't possibly question her now. He had to think about his test which was only a week away.

"Yaudah, grandma will be here nemenin Rara to sleep yes so Rara feels safe. Rara went to sleep again" said Nek Sari.

"Yes, thank you, Grandma" said Netra as she tried to sleep.

"What do you think, son?" his grandmother murmured softly as she stroked the hair of Netra who had started to fall asleep.

"I can't wait another week" Radit told Sandy and Netra. They are in the school cafeteria at the moment.

"Another week? Our exam? I was scared" replied Netra.

"Loh Ra you gatau if the announcement of the entrance exam of Tunas Bangsa International High School. it coincides with our national exam?" Radit answered again.

"Paftt, Hahh?" The netra that was drinking water thrust it towards the front. For example, they are not in the middle of the canteen so that Netra's behavior was not too the center of attention of people.

"It's so bad Ra" said Radit, wiping the splashing of Netra's water on his face.

"Now" said Sandy, giving tissue to Netra and Radit.

"It's Radit, really, in a week's time" Sandy said.

"You know what Ra is, what time or what about the school you want" said Radit who had finished wiping his face.

"How to focus my dreams strange gini," murmured Netra slowly.

"Huh? Why?" said Radit who tried to hear the talk of Netra.

"No no, maybe I'm not trying to find out. Hehe. Fortunately, there are those of you who always know the latest info. So I don't fuckin' miss it. Hehe," replied Netra.

"Jaudah, let's take the food and we go to class" said Sandy. After that there was no conversation between them. Sandy only occasionally glanced at Netra. I want him to thank me directly to Netra for giving her a gift. The watch was also currently being worn, but it seemed that Netra was still unaware of it. They finished eating and rushed to class.

"We learn together, right? I was so afraid of this test," said Netra who opened the chat.

"Yes" answered Sandy coldly.

"Just calm Ra, if our entrance exam results pass, this national exam score will not be useful really," kqta Radit moved from Sandy's side to Netra's side which made Netra between them.

"Hush, this national test score has an effect on school accreditation. You want this school to be labeled bad because the test scores are not up to standard" Sandy said, explaining the importance of national exam scores.

"Yes, dear Mr. Sandy. I will study in earnest" said Radit, mocking Sandy.

"I went to class first, yeah," said Sandy, who got ahead of them and entered her class.

"You, fuck Sandy. Scramble him" Netra said, hitting Radit's arm.

"Well yes sorry Ra. Sandy's not the grumpy type anyway. Just calm. Hihi," Radit said with a smile.

"Your huft, it's still like a child," said Netra as she looked around. He saw a suspicious person but the person went missing.

"What's the matter Ra?" ask Radit.

"What's up. Let's go to class, "take Netra.

"Yes" replied Radit.

In class, they chatted little while waiting for the teacher to come in. Netra was eager to share her story with her friend, but she said it because Radit would not believe what she said. On the other hand, Radit was also eager to tell the events of a year ago to Netra, but that was impossible. Radit thinks that Netra lost her memory partially and that might be better for her. Although Radit does not know what the danger that threatens Netra, but Radit can feel the sadness and fear of the figure that once approached him.

"Ra, you.." Radit's speech stopped because the teacher had already entered their class.

"Good day everyone" said the teacher.

"Siang ma'am," replied the children simultaneously.

"Yes, let's pray first. Head of class, let's lead the prayer" said the teacher again.

"Maybe next time I will ask," Radit said with a sigh.

"Radit was talking about it" thought Netra.

"Don't have anything to do with my weird dreams all this time" Netra thought again.

"Ah Rara, do not daydream, take another week of exams, I have to prepare this well so as not to embarrass the school like what Sandy said earlier," Inner Netra.
