There Is Him Among Us

The next day, Revan gave Airin the music box. They are both in the back garden of the school. "Is this the music box you're talking about?."

Airin nodded her head and received the music box. Then he opened it and saw a small statue spinning and dancing in the middle of the music box. Instantly, Rania's shadow flashed in her brain. He held his head that felt dizzy.

"Help me, just for a second."

"Ai, what's wrong with you? Ai..." Revan held Airin's shoulder.

Airin straightened her eyes and looked at Revan. "Is there now a dance practice?" ask Airin.

Revan looked at Airin. Was the soul that was inside Airin's body right now her brother?

"It looks like there's, let me take you back." Revan and Airin stood up then walked towards the hall. The hall is very spacious it is suitable for dancing practice.

After arriving at the hall, Revan and Airin meet Bu Sari.

"Airin, I want to see first your ability to dance because the lomb only stay 3 days. Incidentally the theme of the lomba is the art of regional dance. It's up to you to bring the art of dance anywhere you can."

Airin nodded his head. He picked up the phone and chose one of the accompaniments of Javanese music. She hooked up her phone to a speaker then she got ready to dance.

So it's true, the soul that is in the body of Airin is currently Kak Rania.

That faint trembling body movement looked extremely beautiful. Revan and the few people who were inside the hall were mesmerized staring at Airin.

"Airin, it turns out you're good at dancing huh. All this time I didn't know your woman. Hopefully you can win" said Bu Sari after Airin finished his dance.

Airin just nodded his head. He now walks with Revan to class.

Revan doesn't know what to say. He was only speechless as he occasionally stared at Airin. It feels like he is very awkward if it is true that his brother's spirit is in Airin's body now.

Suddenly Airin stopped her steps while holding her head.

"Don't..." Revan held Airin's shoulder so Airin wouldn't fall. "You don't papa, do you?"

"My body is so limp."

Revan leads Airin to sit in front of the class so that his weakness disappears. It looks like Airin just regained consciousness from the influence of Rania.

Revan smiled as he slipped Airin's hair covering his cheeks. "You're so good at dancing."

"That's not me."

"Let me record it when you perform. So you have a memento."

"Shame huh. I can't really dance. Let's go to class." Airin stood up because her dizziness had disappeared. They walked to class together with occasional laughs.

...***...

Three days have passed. It was the day of the dance and sound art race at Airin school. Both of Revan's parents also witnessed Airin's appearance under Rania's influence. Because Rania is so eager to show her talent in front of her parents.

"Ma, Pa, it's Rania's sister inside Airin's body."

Alea shed her tears. Rania loves to dance. Just as she was about to enter a dancing competition, her illness got worse and her body weakened. His dreams never materialized until the end of his life.

Alea clasped Kevin's hand. He could see the shadow of Rania in Airin. "Rania, Mama misses you so much."

Instantly Kevin grabbed Alea's body and rubbed his arm. "Papa also misses Rania a lot."

After Airin's performance was over, Airin stepped off the stage and hugged Revan's parents. "Thank you for seeing Rania, Ma. Although maybe Rania did not win but Rania was happy because Mama and Papa could see Rania performing on stage." Then Airin took off her embrace and wiped away Alea's tears. "Mama don't cry anymore. Thank you Mama for letting go of me. Mama can smile without Rania."

"Rania, Mama misses you." Alea rubbed Airin's cheeks while looking at her pushyly.

"Dear that must be."

"Thank you Rania and her boyfriend, Ma. She's so nice, don't hurt her heart."

"Yes." Yeah."

A few moments later Airin's body was squeezed. Revan immediately restrained Airin's body and took her to sit in the audience seat.

"Van, let's drink first." Alea gave Revan a bottle of mineral water.

"Drink first." Revan put the bottle on Airin's lips. Airin immediately finished the drink because his body felt tired like a lack of fluids. "You change first, then I'll drive you home."

Airin nodded his head. "Then if Rania wins, let your parents take the trophy because what I did was Kak Rania's last offering."

"Yes." Yeah." Revan helped Airin stand up and drove him to the toilet to clean his face and change his clothes.

"Ai, you're so great." The melody follows Airin's steps and replaces Revan beside him.

"That's not me."

"But I saw you, I could have said not you. Here I help you clean up your makeup." Then Melody pulled Airin's hand into the toilet.

Revan is now waiting for Airin in front of the toilet. He leaned against the pole and looked up at the orange sky that afternoon.Airin had so many events and it felt like he was getting less and less willing to lose Airin. Will he really be in a match with Airin?

After a long wait, Airin finally came out of the toilet. He's approaching Revan now. "Go home, but take me back to the costume first."

"OK." Revan's right hand took over the package containing the costume from Airin's hand. Then they walked hand in hand towards the parking lot.

"Van, when can I live a normal life. I feel so tired of dealing with these ghosts" Airin said.

"You just pray, hopefully after this you can live a normal life."

"Amen. I no longer want to deal with these ghosts.

"Yes, I will always help you." Revan stopped his footsteps near his bike. Then he put on his helmet.

"My costume was placed in the middle."

Revan shook his head and placed the package in front of his bike. "There is no barrier between us."

Airin laughed. Then he got on Revan's bike and hugged her from behind.

"This is good" said Revan with a smile and he began to ride his bike.

Revan occasionally rubbed Airin's hand on her stomach. "Ai.." call Revan pretty loud.

Airin put her head on Revan's shoulder. "What?"

"I just want to say, I love you" Revan said, looking back for a moment.

Airin tightened his arms and smiled. "I love you too."
