THE SPIRIT AWAITS THE SCHOOL
Episode 22



That school building


looks grim. When night fell there were fourteen students standing


frozen on the roof of the third floor of the school building. Fourteen of them, six


new waiter. They just silently pecked with pale faces and smeared


bloods. They are, Ziad, Nico, Ardan, Jardi, Mery and Keyla. They are the waiters


that school. Now they can be together again like before.


In silence figure


Keyla shed tears of blood flowing from her reddened eyes. It


I don't want his death to be like that. That's why they were in the building


school.


Since death


Keyla, Hanna moved schools. He does not want his life to be haunted


the spirits were floating in that school.


The new school year begins. That school now


renovated and repainted. The school looked like a new school. Walls


the floor is white and the floor is white. It looks cleaner and


looks more comfortable.


In a medium-sized room, with a wall


half the wallpaper, looks like a girl is putting her clothes in


in suitcase. Beside him was a middle-aged woman sitting down and helping


folding clothes. The old woman he called mama was not


allow the girl to leave.


“Raisa..” the woman sighed heavily. “Mama worries you


away from mom. What else in a small town.


I don't know the ins and outs of that city. Where will you be assigned?” mama asked while she put Raisa's clothes in the suitcase


large. Raisa sighed for a moment and then said while putting her clothes in.


“This


chance Raisa, Ma. Raisa also wants to add experience as a teacher there. Raisa has been unemployed for a long time. Raisa


don't want to bother papa and mama constantly.” Word


Raisa's.


Mama


he was silent while looking at Raisa's face.


“Mama


still able to take care of you, let alone your daily needs, Raisa.”


“Already,


Ma's... Raisa wants to earn her own income. If Raisa keeps asking


mama, when is Raisa independent? When can Raisa return the favor of mama?”


Mama


fall silent again. His heart was still broken at the departure of Raisa. I don't want to be away from Raisa, my daughter


the only.


“But


don't forget to always tell your mom? Mama still can't take you off


so be it, Raisa...” says mom.


“Already,


Ma's... Raisa is an adult, don't worry... When is our son


can be self-contained?” papa came along from Raisa's bedroom door. Mama looks up


staring papa.


“But,


Pa...” mama mumbles slowly.


“But


what else? It's not that papa doesn't love Raisa either. But let Raisa alone


that determines his life path, Ma. Raisa is an adult,”


“HH...


Papa always just like that.”


“Iya,


Ma's... Mama don't worry. Raisa will be fine,” continued Raisa


later then.


Mama was silent


any more. Papa passed to the middle room.


“Mama


still worried about anything happening to you, Raisa. Mom's feeling bad.”.


“Already,


Ma's. We give it all up to God. You have to be sure, only He can


protect us.”


Mama smiled


bittersweet. His heart was still unwilling to part with Raisa. All this time


Raisa has never been to any city. Lecture only


Raisa must be in her hometown. Then got a job offer out of town,


I don't think mom is willing.


Raisa


close the big suitcase and prepare other equipment. Some days


last time he got word from a hospital, if his job application


accepted as a nurse. A few months ago, he lost his job


as a nurse in a doctor's practice, she didn't want to waste it


this opportunity.


“Raisa


and kiss her cheeks.


“Be careful


yes, Raisa. If you don't feel right there, immediately


home,”


Raisa


smile thinly. “Iya, Ma..”


Then


he told papa who was stronger than mama. There's not much


pronounced papa in addition to the word success and caution.


Raisa


get out of the gate. He's heading to the bus station. He immediately went in


a bus that takes him to a small town. Raisa always hoped for this


his best experience was working at one of the schools. Buses drove


leaving his hometown.


Raisa arrived


in a small town there is a lot of empty land. From that city he went up


public transport to the school located not far from the city. Spacing


far enough away from the city. Nature is also beautiful.


Being a teacher was his desire since childhood and so he


accepted to one of the schools, Raisa was very happy. He just prepared


all her needs were there. A few pieces of clothes and books


lessons. The school provided a room near the school.


Raisa watched the school building in front of her. The building looks good because


been renovated. Next to the building is a two-story house for


school keeper. And on the second floor of the honorary teacher's epa from outside the city.


Raisa


entering the school gate with slow steps. He's still watching


the building is fixed. Raisa pulls her suitcase on the ceramic floor after


through the entrance corridor. He wants to see the school guard.


“Bu Raisa yes?” ask a little man


kinda old.


“Iya, Sir.” Raisa replied, nodding.


“Let me take to room.” Said the male iu


while pulling Raisa's suitcase. Then they walked to the second floor. “New mom


Raisa who came from five accepted teachers.”


“Oh so.”


“Iya, mom. Hope you are teaching here.”


Raisa commented on her sweet smile. Guardians who


named Rahmat opened the room door, then gave the room key to Raisa.


Raisa's in


go to his room and put his suitcase away. His view extends to


room corners. The walls are painted white and there are some paintings there.


Raisa opened the window of the room and gave a glance. From the window of the room he returned


see the shade trees that grow so lush with green leaves


old directly. At first the tree did not quite possess his mind, however


when he remembered the stories of people, if the banyan tree was usually


inhabited by subtle creatures, his mind becomes chaotic. Raisa started not


quieter. It is said that the trunk of the banyan tree is the door to go to another world.


“Raisa..”.


suddenly someone called him. That's the sound of the head of the dorm.


Raisa


clenched and turned towards the head of the dormitory.


“Iya,


Ms...” said as he approached the head of the dormitory.


“Amentary


again your hostel friends will come. I hope you can familiarize yourself


with him. If there's any meeting me,”


“Iya,


thanks, Mom...” said Raisa smiled.


Female


the middle-aged left Raisa with an ordinary smile. Raisa closed the door


room, then open the suitcase and arrange the clothes into the closet. Raisa's cleaning up


back room.


Raisa


sweep the floor of the room made of white ceramic. There are many


dust and other dirt there. Suddenly he was surprised to see


a few hairs under the bed. Raisa's forehead is wrinkled.


“Hair


who's this?” he murmured in the heart.


Raisa


he gathered the strands of hair until he found a small bundle of strands


hair. Raisa rolled up the hair and threw it in the trash.


After that, he opened the bed sheet which was also still dusty. Seems


the school just cleaned the dorm room.
