Rainy
The Waving White
“Aksa? Lo ... since when is it here?” rainy asked confusedly, while rubbing his head that sucked Aksa's chest.
Fortunately, before turning around Rainy had wiped his tears, but his reddened nose and swollen eyes could not lie that Rainy had cried a lot.
“Eum .. fifteen minutes ago maybe. I don't care about it,” said Aksa while scratching the back of his head that didn't itch at all.
Rainy nodded, quietly breathing with relief as Aksa did not hear all of her words earlier. Then his gaze looked at Aksa from top to bottom. And back to Aksa's handsome face.
“Lo want to pilgrimage too?”
Aksa shook his head, “Not, but .. want to pick up lo,” said Aksa.
Rainy narrowed both of his eyes. “Fetch me? I don't have any ojek pesen tuh.”
Aksa clucked. “Gue pick up not as an ojek! Aunt Risa asked for help with me, she said for hours you have not come home. Time of request my parents refuse?”
“Oh,” Rainy restrained his smile when he saw Aksa's sour face.
“And I intend to go home. But use an online ojek,” said Rainy.
“Yes, cancel. Meningan come with me, quite the cost can be simple to buy seblak tomorrow,” Aksa advice.
But, the two were shocked when suddenly there were a few drops of water falling over their heads. Both of them looked up, and the water droplets grew more and more. That is, the rain is coming.
“We look for shade.” Aksa grabs Rainy's wrist and wordlessly Aksa runs in following Rainy to lunge into the increasingly heavy rain.
They ran away until they got out of the cemetery. Thankfully not too far away. Upon arriving at the gate, Aksa saw a small house that is usually used as a place to sell flowers.
Until there the breath of the two gasped. Luckily the roof of the porch of this house was wide, so the rain would not get to where they were sitting now, on a long wooden bench. But, the wet clothes made them rather cold.
“Gue kayak dejavu,” said Rainy after his breathing returned to regularity.
“The difference is now we are in the grave, not in the school corridor.” Aksa chuckled to herself hearing her words just now.
Just like that time at school, now they are caught raining in a cemetery. Just as swift as that time and maybe the same incident will reoccur.
The heavy rain accompanied by the wind made Rainy tighten his embrace on himself. No different from Aksa who was cursed himself for forgetting to bring a jacket.
It's fine if he's cold, but not with the girl next to him. Although Aksa likes to be ignorant, but Aksa is a man who will not have the heart to see the girl he knows is cold. Especially the neighbors.
“You want me to hug you?” chirps Aksa, unaware of his own words.
“What?” Rainy asked in a surprised tone, his face immediately turned towards Aksa, a look of disbelief and anger drawn on Rainy's slightly pale face.
Only then did Aksa wake up. “Ma-I mean ... you are so cold?”
“Ngak. The wind was a bit tight so I was cold, but little,” said the girl.
Aksa nodded slowly, again she cursed herself. Looks like Aksa has to enroll a school for her mouth that comes from a ceplos.
The atmosphere was silent, ten minutes walking no one spoke until suddenly Rainy asked about something rather confusing to Aksa.
“Lo why do you think gini?”
Aksa frowned at hearing the question. “Means lo?”
Rainy smiled faintly while lowering his gaze. Only her legs are the ones Rainy currently sees. “Lo makes me confused,” said Rainy increasingly make Aksa do not understand.
“Lo attitude,” add the girl. “Lo is relaxing, making me love emotions. Especially from the beginning I entered, you have made problems for me, but sometimes you are good. Kayak ... now, just want to tell my aunt to pick me up. Though you can nolak.”
All of those words made Aksa speechless. Rethinking everything from the beginning to the present. And really, why is he? Though Aksa also likes to judge Rainy until they used to be hostile, but somehow Aksa can not refuse anything when it comes to Rainy.
As of now, pick up the girl at the funeral. Though Aunt Risa asked for help without forcing, Aksa should just refuse, right? Because Rainy can only make himself bother, but somehow Aksa can't be like that.
“Gue is gini, about Auntie lo, I do not feel good for nolak,” said Aksa who himself felt unsure.
Rainy nodded his head as if believing whatever Aksa said. The girl then raised her head to look at the sky which she thought was crying.
“Lo know if I hate the rain?” rainy asked, like switching topics.
But, Aksa kept her head turned and raised her eyebrows. “Oh yes? Do you hate the rain? Wh why? Because it hurts? Though the name lo also means rain, instead of liking but this even hates.”
Rainy chuckled while shaking his head. “Not no, there's a reason, there's all a reason. Even if according to people it is trivial, but not for those who ngalamin. Everyone has their own trauma, even lo ... people who seem happy are not necessarily happy every time right?”
Aksa was made silent again, instead of dodging Rainy's guess but Aksa nodded her head instead. True, everyone has their own trauma, there is no person whose life is always running smoothly and happily, just that all of it is invisible to others.
“So ..., you do not like rain because it has the same trauma as rain?” ask Aksa doubtfully.
Rainy turned and smiled. Didn't expect to tell about the one that he hid from others. And the one who knows it is Aksa.
“Iya. And it always seemed to me every time I saw the rain. Especially in the dark. The shadow appears again in front of me and scares me.”
“Now is that too?” tsnya Aksa is curious, although not told in detail, but Aksa understands. There was a painful past that made Rainy hate the rain.
“Ngak. Because I'm not alone now. Maybe if I was alone here, yeah, I'd get scared, but-”
“Wait, Rai, don't talk.” Aksa tells Rainy to stop talking when Aksa accidentally stares at the tomb and sees something suspicious.
“Why?” Rainy looked at Aksa in confusion.
“Gue looks like something-” his words hang with a body that suddenly sculpts.
It made Rainy curious, he turned to Aksa's eyes but found nothing.
“Lo see what, anyway? Satan?”
“Iya.” An unexpected answer came out from Aksa's mouth.
“Hah?” Rainy was surprised, but Aksa immediately caught her cold wrist.
The man's face looked pale, even paler than his cold self.
“The funeral, under the biggest banyan tree,” said Aksa made Rainy turn his head.
“Nothing,” reply the girl further make Aksa goosebumps.
“Lo time don't see?” Some were waving towards him, swaying to the right and to the left in white.
It looks like a cloth, but has curves like the shape of a human body just does not tread and does not see his face. It floated, under the banyan tree and above it looking like thick and long hair but tangled like a gem.
Aksa swallowed her saliva, confirmed it again and asked Rainy but the girl's answer still remained the same.
That made Aksa get ready. “Gue count to three, keep lo standing and follow me run.”
Rainy did not understand yet but Aksa actually counted right then and there.
“One .... two ... three, run!” Aksa stood up and pulled Rainy's hand.
The two run towards where Aksa parked the motorbike. No matter the rain that is still quite heavy. Aksa's determination to run away and go home instead so repeated the incident made him repeatedly say sorry for Rainy in his heart.
Rainy did not protest. After Aksa put a helmet on her head, Aksa got on the bike and told Rainy to get on. The girl complies.
The cloudy weather plus the day that is almost night makes the atmosphere look darker. Along the way Aksa continued to say and occasionally shouted to ensure Rainy's condition.
Aksa speeding, no matter the rain this time will make him sick. The important thing is to get home.
“Crazy! The demon I saw? Any timing? I don't have the sixth sense.” Aksa continued to ask in his heart.
Until they arrive in front of Rainy's house safely. The new Aksa can really breathe with relief.
Aksa got off his bike after Rainy. Help the girl take off the helmet. Now both are really wet like last time. Totally the same just a different place.
“Lo why the hell? Clay demon?” rainy asked, only able to make a sound after really feeling comfortable even though his clothes were soaked.
“Iya,” I'm Aksa.
“Eh, really? How can I not see?”
Aksa clucked as Rainy discussed the thing Aksa wanted to forget.
“Hantunya likes me as much as possible, he was drugs to me,” he said while shuddering in horror. The hair sat until it stood up again to make his body feel cooler.
Rainy laughed, still in disbelief and upset Aksa. The guy leaves after making sure Rainy is safe.
***
Aksa hoped that what he saw earlier was not really a demon. And he hoped to quickly forget what he saw last afternoon. But, what power, even the more it wants to be forgotten, the clearer the memory of this afternoon.
Even when she was in the bathroom, Aksa felt uneasy. Especially when his eyes were closed, Aksa was afraid if when he opened his eyes, the white one came back in front of him.
When she wants to open the wardrobe, Aksa is afraid that someone will come out of it. And that shadow really frustrates Aksa. Both Aksa parents are confused when they see their children often steal a glance at every corner of the house.
“We why, Aksa?” ask Mama Clarissa.
Aksa looked at her Mama and smiled wryly. “I think something's wrong with me, Ma.”
Mama Clarissa frowned confusedly. “What's wrong? You sick? Dizziness?” tanyanya's worried.
“Not sick. But, I think I have a sixth sense, Ma,” Aksa said while rubbing his nape.
“Pffttt.” Papa Martin spouts food in his mouth. “What are you talking about, Aksa?” he almost laughed.
“Iya, don't be weird, son,” timbal Mama Clarissa.
“But I saw a ghost,” said Aksa.
But do both of his parents believe?
Sure didn't!
They even think Aksa is not feeling well. Be Aksa increasingly frustrated with the thoughts that bother him. Until suddenly Mama Clarissa told him to go to the minimarket.
“Ma, Aksa wants to sleep,” says Aksa trying to find a reason.
Mama shook her head, after saying something that made Aksa unable to refute, Mama Clarissa breezed away.
“Ke minimarket not for hours, Aksa. Unless you take the cashier there. It could be ten o'clock mallem you just came home. Oh yes, if you are afraid, Mama ingetin, the more you are afraid, the more you like the devil to appear in front of you.”
Of course Aksa again felt creepy. Aksa quickly picks up her phone in the room and sends a message to Rainy.
Aksara Arkatama Diraya^^^^
^^^Lo would like to return the same favor because I have already picked you up? ^^^
^^^Now is the time, me to minimarket most deket. ^^^
^^^Come, now. I wait in front of your house. ^^^
Aksa waited for a reply from Rainy who came two minutes later.
Rainy Shakaeela
Who said I would return the favor? I just want to say, thank you for repotin Tante Risa.
Lo scared? Because of the demon you said earlier?
Aksa groaned after reading the message from Rainy. Can't you just answer with the word 'Yes?
Aksara Arkatama Diraya^^^^
^^^OK, but I'm really asking for help. At least as a neighbor, your classmate. ^^^
^^^People who need help do not help, just for a moment. Not for hours. ^^^
Aksa waited again, and she cheered happily as Rainy actually replied 'Yes'.
Aksa moved quickly, he went out of the house and headed for Rainy's house. Waiting for a few minutes, Rainy appeared wearing a hoodie. It was obvious that the girl's face was upset as they looked at her.
“Not expecting me, it turns out you're a boy but a coward.” Rainy grumbled on the street.
Aksa grimacing. “Not scared. But I still love it. I saw the time but didn't you see? Though it is very clear that the devil is wobbling under the tree.”
“Perhaps the demon wants to appear in front of lo doang,” said Rainy origin, he still feels annoyed and Aksa realized that.
They went hand in hand, accompanied by a wind that gently blew away the fallen leaves. The moon is invisible because it is covered in black clouds, even stars that are usually crowded are now lost somewhere.
“Don't do it dong! I am tormented by Satan. Did anyone feel like I took a shower? I kept thinking when I opened the closet there was a sudden peelingba in front of me.”
“Moreover when I sleep. What if the bolster I hug suddenly becomes a pocong? Or do you want to stay in my house? Let me just hug you?”
“Heh! Kamprett!”
