It was already very dark, Bitsy could not sleep at all. After being able to see the terrible figures, Bitsy was difficult to sleep even she was afraid to look at the window because every night there were always scary sounds out there. The sound of laughter and strange whispers made him unable to sleep.
I don't know who was whispering but the whisper was always heard even strange knocks were heard on the window. It certainly makes Bitsy more frightened because after finishing with the terror of the devil that has the body of his mother, now he has to face the other terror that is the scary ghosts.
Although her father and Aunty Nadia said to get used to them and not care about them but the voice she heard really scared her all night and she felt not strong anymore with those voices. Bitsy closed both ears tightly, she did not want to hear, she really did not want to hear. It felt like hiding in a closet but since that incident, he was afraid of the dark.
Geck.. S... tok! Suddenly the window glass was knocked from the outside by someone.
"Bitsy, it's me!" a boy's voice called out to him and it was not foreign to him.
"Peter?" Bitsy inched slowly to the side of the bed. Peter is a schoolmate and therefore Bitsy is not suspicious at all.
"Open the window, Bitsy. There's something I want to give you and I'm cold out here" Peter said.
"Wait, why are you outside? Didn't you go for a walk with your family?" ask Bitsy.
"I've come home and I've come to give you souvenirs."
"Middle of the night like this? Are you out of your mind?" Bitsy opened the window and sure enough, Peter was out there hugging his cold self.
"I came to meet you and give you something" Peter said.
"Well, did both of your parents know? Better get back so they don't worry."
"It's okay, they won't be looking for me!"
"But it's night, you should be home soon!" bitsy said without suspecting at all.
"I want to be with you for a moment, Bitsy. Can ya?" pinta Peter pleaded.
Bitsy was so sorry that she let Peter into her room and closed the window. Though he thought Peter was away with his family and it would be a long time but he didn't expect it to be back. Peter, however, was not far away. It's possible that Peter is like him who can't sleep at all.
"This is for you!" Peter stretched out his hand that was grasping something.
Bitsy seemed hesitant but she took what Peter gave her. A small and muddy package was in his hands. Bitsy smiled but she did not open the package so as not to offend Peter.
"What's this?" ask Bitsy.
"Gift from me. You have to take good care of her and not lose it!" answer Peter.
"All right, thank you!" Bitsy kept the gift package given by Peter into the table drawer.
"What are you doing here, Peter? Why don't you sleep?" ask Bitsy.
"I can't sleep. How are you yourself? Why don't you sleep?" ask Peter anyway.
"I can't sleep every night."
"Why?" Peter seemed curious.
"There's nothing. I just can't sleep and now I want to sleep so go!" expel Bitsy. His father would be angry if he found out he let Peter into his room.
"Bitsy, wait!" peter Pinta.
"What else is it? leave immediately because I don't want to until my father finds out."
"We won't meet after this because I'll go far away!" said Peter.
"Are you moving out?" ask Bitsy.
Bitsy waved without understanding. Peter came out of the window and after that Bitsy closed it tightly but she opened the window again.
"Wait, Peter!" pinta Bitsy but Peter is nowhere to be seen. Strange, Bitsy searched here and there but her best friend was no more. Not wanting to be suspicious let alone fear him, Bitsy closed the window back and climbed into the bed. This time he actually slept because it was very late but the sound of a police car passing by in the morning woke him up.
Bitsy came out of the room while rubbing her still heavy eyes. Strange, like something happened let alone a police car sounding back.
"Daddy, has something happened?" bitsy asked as she stepped into the kitchen.
"Hey, Girl. Do you know your schoolmate who lives a few blocks from here?" ask her father who is preparing breakfast.
"What does Daddy mean is Peter?" suddenly he had a bad feeling.
"Yes, Peter. Last night he and his family had an accident and they all died on the spot!"
"No way!" scream Bitsy.
"Hey, why are you saying that?" ask his father wonder.
"Evening Peter came to me, Daddy. He looks fine" said Bitsy.
"What's? Don't make it up, maybe Bitsy's dreaming!"
"Cannot be. I couldn't sleep every night because of the strange noises in my window so I opened it because Peter came and let Peter in. Trust me, Dad!" bitsy Pinta.
"alright, fine. Daddy trusts you. Now tell me what the two of you are talking about in the room?"
"Peter said he won't see me again and he gave me something."
"Something" Darko frowned. Did Peter's spirit come to his daughter because there was something she wanted to give him?
"Wait, Bitsy will take it!" Bitsy ran into the room and after that she came back with a shabby package.
"This is what Peter gave me and he asked me to take good care of him and not to lose him!" said Bitsy while giving the package given by Peter.
Darko took the package and opened it. If Peter really is gone due to an accident, then the one who visited his daughter is the spirit of the child. Looks like Peter came indeed to give the old package that turned out to contain a necklace.
"It looks like he likes you, Girl," Darko said, lifting the necklace.
"But Bitsy only considers him a friend!"
"Alright, take good care of this thing because that's what he wants. No need to worry, it looks like he won't be coming again but remember, next time shouldn't bring a boy into your room!" the necklace was given to Bitsy, although it was just a toy but she hoped Bitsy would look after it.
"Daddy, can Bitsy's abilities be eliminated?" ask Bitsy.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Bitsy doesn't want this ability, Daddy. Bitsy wants to get rid of it!"
"Alright, Daddy knows you're scared but that kind of ability you can't lose. You can only take it. Someday you'll know what that ability is for."
"But Bitsy won't, Daddy. Bitsy wants to live a normal life like never before without seeing those scary ghosts!"
"Bitsy!" Darko squatted down and rubbed his daughter's head, "If he could be replaced, Daddy would replace him happily but unfortunately it couldn't be that Bitsy had to get used to receiving the special abilities that Bitsy had."'
Bitsy just nodded with her head down, to be honest she did not want that special ability but unfortunately that ability could not be eliminated and she would continue to see the terrifying creatures until someday, until one day, he knew for what ability he had gained by accident.
