I walked with unsteady steps, down the corridor with all kinds of mixed feelings. Angry, sad, shocked, and at the same time… disappointed! Even though I've always thought that Aunt Donna is an ally I can trust! But she turned out to be one of the culprits? I suddenly felt disgusted when I remembered her sad expression upon learning of my mother's condition. Don't forget the tears streaming down her face that day. Who would have thought that it was all a charade? Well, she should have gotten an Oscar for her amazing acting!
“I have absolutely no idea who that man was, but Donna was helped by someone to commit her crime. The two of them came up with the perfect plan!”
"How did you know all that?"“I overheard their conversation on the day Richard died. After that, I try to find more clues. However, my efforts almost got caught by them, so to prevent Donna from getting suspicious of me, I decided to keep myself hidden!”"So what are we going to do after this?"Siena moved her legs which she plunged into the river. The moonlight which reflect off the surface of the water now began to ripple due to the movement of her feet. My eyes stared at Siena for a while before staring at fireworks that have completely run out.“Wow! I am truly amazed by your stamina. Even after such a hectic activity during the day, you're still able to do a lot of things without taking a break!”A smile formed on the corners of my lips when I heard Alliando's sarcasm to Siena.“Oh! Sorry if I have a lot of stamina, unlike you who are very easily lethargic! You seem more suited to be called a 'elderly teenager', don't you?"And of course as usual, Siena wouldn't let Alliando mock her. A few seconds later, they started fighting just like kindergartners. Even Andreas and Demian could only rub their foreheads when they saw the two of them fighting. Maybe I'm the only o
“That girl really is such a cheap girl!”I looked at the two women sitting beside my desk. They were whispering while throwing scornful glances at Nami, one of the new students who was very popular. She has a beautiful face and figure, not to forget her friendly and fun demeanor, making many people immediately like her even if it is only with one meeting. But, isn't there a saying of wisdom that even the best people in the world still have enemies? Nah, that is Nami. She probably has a lot of fans. But apart from fans, she also has some people who don't like her. An example is two women who are getting more and more excited to say bad words to her."I heard she often changed boyfriends""Duh, even I've heard she likes to do one night stand!""Huft.."Sighing, I put the headset to my ear, playing music at a loud volume. Well, I can still hear their voices, although not as clear as before. But it's still better t
I didn't expect that my reunion with Nami would happen sooner than I thought. Even though I just managed to gather information about her in hopes that I can devise a plan so that we can meet again and become friends like in our previous life. Well, it looks like she's already one step ahead of me.As soon as Nami finished introducing herself, Siena started to nudge my shoulder and whisper about Nami's face which looks a lot like the girl we saved that night. Not only Siena, Andreas and Alliando also showed the same reaction. It's just that Alliando looks calmer than the two of them. Maybe he already recognized Nami at one glance.I just answered all of Siena's questions with a nod of my head. My eyes are still focused on Nami who is now sitting a few tables in front of me. And with her friendly character, she immediately got along with her seatmates. Ah, I really admire that character. Because if Nami wasn't like that, it's a little impossible that we could have
"Why are you suddenly crying? Shouldn't you be happy?"Alliando whispered softly into my ear. Hearing his question reminded me of what happened earlier. How I keep crying and make everyone feel worried. Even Siena and grandpa trying to put out their best joke to comfort me, although their actions didn't stop me from crying. I just smiled to answer Alliando's question. Too embarrassed to say that I cried for joy.“Is there someone bothering you or irritating you to the point of crying? Or... you don't like seeing uncle come here?"Alliando asked again, glancing at Uncle Jackson who was sitting with mother and others in the living room. They were currently playing cards, while Alliando and I had the task of washing the dishes after we lost rock paper scissors game.Well, to be honest I was surprised by the presence of Uncle Jackson here. And what surprised me even more was the change in my mother's attitude towards him today.
"I'm sure you will be able to overcome all this, Sha .."Nami's soft voice rang in my ears, making my previously tightly closed eyes slowly start to open. I've been laying my head on my knees, closing my eyes to try to sleep. I hope that in my sleep I can meet my mother again, even if only for a moment. Even though my hopes were in vain because she never appeared in my dreams.It's been the fifth day since Mama died and I still feel very comfortable sitting in front of her grave. Looking at the light gray stone that bears the name of mama who I think is very beautiful, as beautiful as her soul. Ah, I didn't think I would see the same sight a second time. And the difference just, if in the previous life, Mama's grave looked empty, then this time there are many flowers located on top of Mama's grave."Ma.. Don't you feel cold?"I mumbled while placing the blanket I brought on top of mama's tombstone."Sorry mom, sorry that I couldn't protect
There is a wise saying that 'time' is the most precious thing on this earth. Because you won't be able to stop it or redo it. So, while that 'time' is still with you, then make the best of it. Don't be sorry after everything happened and can't be fixed. That's why I'm so happy when I get the privilege of being able to go back in time and fix things. Isn't that something that many people want? Being able to go back in time was like a very unreal miracle to me. Miracles that can make me meet people I care about, people I can no longer see in my previous life. Although, I can't do anything for them yet.So, do I regret being able to go back in time?I don't think so, I have no regrets at all!Being able to see my mom again, spending a few months with her, enjoying the days I couldn't enjoy before because of my hatred for the world. I think the world is really mean to me. How can I continue to be bullied when I always try to do good to others?I conti
'Destroy the enemy called 'final exam'!''There's nothing more difficult than taking the college entrance exam!''My deepest condolences to all 3rd graders. Hope everyone can go through this suffering sanely!'I chuckled lightly when I got the flyer a 1st grader gave me. He looked at me for a while with a concerned look, before continuing his task of distributing the flyers to the other 3rd graders. This leaflet seems to confirm that we are indeed nearing the finish line of our high school years.“I feel like I really want to beat up whoever made this damn tradition!”Siena grumbled in annoyance while squeezing the paper in her hand,"Instead of being excited, I'm even more pessimistic because of all this writing!"Nami who was standing beside her immediately nodded her head vigorously. Nah, for me, I'm quite amused by the strange tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation by the prev
"Are you all right, Sha? Why do you look like someone being chased by a ghost?”Nami asked worriedly as soon as I stand in front of her. I didn't answer her question right away, just trying to control my panting breath. Every now and then I looked behind me, or rather down the corridor to make sure that no one was following me.God, I'm so grateful!I feel like I want to take a deep breath when I see that the corridor I came out just now looks empty."Sha!"Nami Called my name again, make me panicked to find an answer to her question.But suddenly she covered her mouth as if she remembered something bad"Sha? Did you see anything strange in the toilet?”her face suddenly turned pale,"If so, it looks like what you just saw was Nancy, the ghost that has been haunting my house for decades!"She hugged her shoulders while shuddering.“Oh.. Oh, right! I just saw a woman
