First Time To Meet The Angle

Ardina's hand held tight, but still, the grip was not strong enough to hold the bus that was shaking so hard. Her body bounced, then collided. They, each other on top of each other, and their bodies were hit by shards of glass. Makes blood start to come out from Ardina and her friend's wounds.

The situation is no longer the same as when they left school. The bus, already visibly crushed, was upside down when it stopped toppling over. The shards of the window panes were scattered on the grass, which grew very fertile. Gray smoke glows with the clouds. Then, how are the residents of the bus? no one survived. Ardina and her friends and teachers along with the bus driver lay helpless, or rather lifeless.

A minute, two to ten minutes, Ardina finally woke up. Wake up not as a human anymore. But as tiny, transparent particles. She woke up before her other friends woke up too.

"It is ..." she said hesitantly, finding herself looking transparent, no longer a human. But as a spirit. Then Ardina's eyes saw what happened to her class bus riding. Shattered, so terrible. Her eyes continued to search, looking for her body. And there, she saw her body lying there covered in blood. The glass of the bus stuck deep into her face. Horrible.

Her mouth closed reflexively with her eyes wide open. Shook her head in disbelief at what had just happened. However, Ardina didn't remember completely. All she remembered was the screams of friends and teachers when the bus started to enter the abyss.

The legs walked weakly, approaching her helpless body. However, her legs stopped and immediately hid behind a tree 30 meters away. What's wrong with Ardina? Why did she have to hide? As it turned out, one by one the spirits of her friends, teacher, and the bus driver began to wake up, apart from their bodies. And along with the awakening of the spirits, one by one the winged creatures descended. The winged being that Ardina saw in the few minutes before that incident. Picking up the souls of friends, teachers, and bus drivers. Fly to the sky when the bright light hits the ground. She noticed that.

"Is this where the death process is?" Asked Ardina anxiously, irritated and mixed with fear in her heart.

"Have all the soul's been ripped out of their bodies?" Asked the Angel with wings bigger than the other Angels. His voice was booming. Very scary. Ardina keeps holding her mouth so she doesn't say a word. And it seems that angels are more powerful than other angels.

"So they are really the angels? Angel of death and his assistant angels .. ??" she mutter trembled. Guess what she was witnessing.

"Yes sir, but .." said one of the other Angels. Ardina guessed that the Angel with the smaller wings is subordinated Angel with the big wings.

"But what?" He asked firmly, scary and very authoritative.

"One spirit escaped before we came." Said one of his angels, handing over a list of the names of the people who died in the bus accident Ardina was riding.

"WHAT?!!" He shouted glaring. The jaw is wide. The voice made Ardina even more afraid and shuddered with horror.

"One soul," she asked herself, began to realize who the Angels meant. "Could it be that one spirit is me?" Said Ardina in her thought. Heart suddenly beating fast. She is body became very frightened when her mind found the answer to who the soul was referring to.

"Why can that soul escape from your control?" Everyone fell silent. No one dared to answer or stare back. "Hurry looking for that spirit !? And some of you bring the spirits to face the ruler of the world." He ordered, all the assistant angels scattered all over the place. Looking for Ardina who escaped from the pick-up process. And some others brought one by one the spirits of Ardina's friends and teachers, including the bus driver.

"Where is that stubborn soul??" The angel grumbled, irritated. "I will find that wayward soul !!" he grumbled again, clasping his hand. Gaze sharply with bulging eyes and frowning forehead.

"I have to go away before the grim reaper finds me." Ardina thought not to want to linger in hiding. Walking sneakily so as not to be caught.

And...

Tap...

"Finally, you also found a wayward soul." The voice stopped Ardina's footsteps who is not too far from her hiding place. And at the moment Ardina's head looked up, her heart was pounding fast. It's tighter than before. Ardina's eyes were also wide open, just like her mouth was already gaping. The grim reaper's hearing and smell were twice as sharp as that of a bloodhound. The intimidating and cold gaze Ardina felt from his gaze.

"M-Mr-A-Angel of death ??" Ardina said after then fell silent. Doubt. She doesn't know what else to say. Between fear, amazement, and...

In her thought, there is something different from the grim reaper who is currently in front of Ardina. His face is not like the grim reaper portrayed by many humans and animated films he has watched. And it made Ardina's heartbeat even more irregular with what she saw at this time.

Ardina begins to be fascinated with a face that looked cold but very handsome, began to imagine the grim reaper's face in her imagination. But, is suddenly the angel of death pulled his hand forcefully and roughly. Like it or not, like it or not, Ardina stood up, grimacing in pain.

"Stand up, come with me quickly!!" The stern voice frightened him too.

"Au .. it hurts! can you be a little gentle with girls? Do you know? It’s so hurt!!" Ardina screamed felt pain from the angel's hand. And the grim reaper didn't care how painful it was to grip his hand on Ardina's wrist. He continued to grab Ardina's hand roughly. And unfortunately, the grim reaper doesn't have any pity. All souls in his eyes are the same, only spirits that must immediately face the ruler.

Actually, where does Ardina want to be taken by the grim reaper? Will he be handed over to the ruler by the angel of death?
