He will help the woman as she wants. It might take a long time, it could be days.Many months.but he made sure that one day, Nina would be at peace in it.

Even so, there are now some things he wants to ask as today is announced there is a teacher meeting which means all students will go home sooner than usual.

"Nina, if I have a mistake, please let me know because I am sometimes unconscious that I just made a mistake. I really want to help you"

"Then from that, from now on let's work together."

he lifted his chin. He did not know how ugly his face was at the moment because his eyes were teary, but he was handsome, he was very confident as he looked towards Nina.

His pitch-black eyeballs and Nina's brown eyeballs met each other. For a moment they enjoyed the sight-seeing session, but not for a long time, the corner of Nina's lips lifted slightly which made Zaidan dumbstruck.

"Oh..."

*sets.

The woman raised her left hand which had long fingernails, and applied her palm pointing upwards. There Zaidan suddenly recalled the incident when the hand touched the living room window.

"That's an answer."

"Then I'll wait for him..."

. . .

At breakfast, Zaidan once asked Kesti when and where he found the ghostly mistress. Then it was unexpected, Kesti replied with the same words, namely "Great Tree" when heading to Bi Dila's house. When Zaidan again asked where the tree was located, Kesti instead said that he had forgotten about it.

Everything gets more complicated because all statements go in different directions.

Although he had been asked many times, Kesti would not have answered him with the excuse of forgetting, and even he told Zaidan to look for other information while he tried to remember it.

The moment is so unreliable right now. Really am.

But there are some things he said that could be important, namely, "Didan know? every creature is not calm like them, has a different nature. Among them will show strange 'reactions' when seeing or talking about something about his death. It can help you, by using their gut instinct."

And this statement is what strengthens Zaidan's determination. And nothing will be able to easily break that firmness now.

. . .

Nina lowered her hand back.

"You seem very curious about this food"

"have you never seen it in this 'world?"

He always felt that Nina was always watching the sausage in her hand. He became unwell, therefore Zaidan thrust the sausage and waited for his response.

"Zaidan doesn't know why Nina didn't see Zaidan?"

"Eh, ke.. why?"

He still lifted the skewer even though Nina did not seem to have any intention of taking it.

"Nina doesn't like onions. Does Zaidan not know that?",

"In the food that Zaidan holds, there are onions."

Hearing that Zaidan was very surprised.

"eh... You don't like onions???, how do you know that in this sausage there are some?" 'I didn't even realize that..'

Just looking at it will not be visible, but if someone who often eats something with tomato sauce.detail know that one of the tomato sauce mix is ONION to make it taste more perfect. And incidentally sausage sold in school kantin is a cooked sausage given ketchup on it.

Nina who already knew that Zaidan would be surprised, seemed to be able to understand the reaction.

"It turns out you don't know, do you?"

"That's why Nina couldn't be around Zaidan, because Zaidan always cut onions at home. If I keep pushing in, my whole body will start to hurt..."

"And then Zaidan went inside without waiting for Nina, so Nina could only be outside"

"..."

He felt so guilty about leaving Nina, and now Zaidan had just learned that she had not disappeared, but could only get close to Zaidan who was inside the house because he had to stay away from the smell of onions.

"then...did Nina herself turn off Zaidan's study lamp last night?"

As if she had not expected it, the woman snapped and rounded her eyes between strands of her hair.

In silence, Zaidan smiled.

Not only the last few days the mother cooked food containing onions, even before 'any food mostly uses onions. But this time it was different. Now there is a 'guest' who should be treated well anyway.

And because of this, Zaidan thought about getting to know about Nina first who could now always be with her, rather than finding a way to find out the cause of her death.

..

"I didn't see it, but I briefly heard the sound of a button being pressed. And the next morning I asked my mother, but she said she didn't come into my room last night"

"Well, then, who else if not Nina?"

"ohh, so is it.."

"Well, Nina, come here!", Zaidan patted the empty space next to him. "If it's not wrong, you're standing there from the morning, huh??"

Even though ghosts, they will not get bored if they stand in one place for a long time?.

Without further ado, Nina approached and stood briefly in front of the young man, before finally sitting in a stiff position.

"Eh! is Nina okay if it is close to the onion??, said Nina, Nina will feel pain", spontaneously Zaidan kept his sausage skewer away from Nina. But far from it, Nina instead returned a sweet smile in response to Zaidan's worries.

"Why is Zaidan so afraid?, it is a different onion.The smell released is smoother"

Zaidan thought for a moment.

"So, what makes you sick is the red onion that smells more stinging?"

"Hum? red onion...?"

"Nina tastes so."

Zaidan then breathed a sigh of relief.

Feelings of guilt and disappointment in themselves have begun to decline. But still not with his confusion with the man named Luo Yan who this morning came to his family home, and even clasped Nina's hand while in front of the door.

Zaidan wanted to ask her directly, but upon seeing the dreamy face Nina was watching the sky... Zaidan became powerless to say it.

There are also things to talk about with both parents (Kesti, Vivie) related to the problem of Nina who can not stand the smell of onions. Zaidan wanted to discuss this so that Nina could stay together with her family quietly.

*...!

He began to breathe long air, and enjoy this serenity that seemed second to none.

"Zaidan's...."

Because suddenly inhaling too tightly, Nina even to the point of surprise and immediately turned her head. "Haha! is Nina shocked?",

Because it feels like they have been in that place long enough, Zaidan decided to go to class and take his bag while making sure of the situation, then take Nina home. " Wait here for a second, I want to get my bag"

"Wait Zaidan!"

Just as she was walking away, Nina quickly pulled the arm of Zaidan's uniform.

And that was the first time he felt the pull of Nina that felt real and powerful.

"A.. What's up, Nina?" Among the confused and moved, Zaidan became unfocused when saying his words, until it sounded heartbroken.

"Are we really going home?" The woman's face instantly became lethargic.

"ee.. Then where should we go if we're not home?"

He didn't answer. But even so, he still did not take his hands off Zaidan's uniform. Until the young man could only move.

"Alright, alright... Is there a place that Nina wants to visit?". With a radiant face, Nina immediately suggested the large tree they had seen yesterday.

Of course Zaidan immediately asked why it had to be that place. Where it is a place that yesterday just happened the core of the uproar. If there was someone who saw him and Nina there, I don't know what kind of commotion would happen...

But Nina's answer turned out to be simpler than Zaidan had thought. "Nina just thought of the same tree as the one back then", she pulled her hand.

"So because of that?"

"Then wait here for a minute, yeah. I'll take my things first, just take you there." Zaidan gave a wave of his hand, and ran as fast as he could leaving Nina motionless with a blank look. Without sadness, disappointment, or happiness.
