He's Not Dead
The Figure Behind Marsa

Davina and I were sitting in a row of chairs not far from the parking lot. This girl kept forcing me to tell her about her wandering self while her body was in a coma. I relented, I finally told her how we met until she kept following me. Including the behavior of his cherries that often run around and hum.

“Areally I that happy?”

“Hm.”

“When you are aware, my room becomes quiet and the thing I miss is your behavior that likes to run around laughing while closing my mouth. Seeing the original quiet you, I concluded that your mind is tormented. Either because of stress with your family or .. I don't know. What is clear is that your soul at that time looks so cheerful.”

“Arka, you miss ... me?”

Why should I be asked again, instead of me having said it after she realized I missed her.

“Hm.”

“Then what promise did I say?”

I turned and looked at Davina who was looking at me. If I told her what she promised, she would fulfill it. Maybe he doesn't believe me and accuses me of making it up.

“You promised to remember me after waking up.”

“Hahh.”

“You also promised to see my parents. During the wandering only I can see you and you are amazed by Mama, so want to hug her.”

Davina averted her gaze, she was seen thinking about her promises might as well try to remember what she had forgotten.

“Do not worry,” I said while patting his shoulder made him turn his head. “ and do not think.”

“Seeing you're aware, I'm happy. Not only is it glad you can get back into your body, but it can prove that I'm not fantasizing about you.

Our chat was interrupted because my phone was ringing, apparently a call from Marsa.

“Halo.”

“Halo Ka, where are you?” ask Marsa on the other end of the phone.

“Still on campus.”

“I'm already in front of the gate, wait for me yes. Where are you?”

“Hah, in front? I'm in .. parking lot. Parking motor.”

Marsa asked me to wait and she ended the call.

“Your boyfriend?” ask Davina.

I looked and then chuckled. How could she think Marsa was my girlfriend, if I was interested in her.

“Kok laughs anyway.”

“From later on I disturb, so I ..”

“Arka!”

Marsa walked up to me, Davina who was about to leave was even glued to the spot. More precisely surprised and not only Davina was surprised, I was the same. It was not the presence of Marsa that surprised me but the figure behind her, the figure that I could see as well as Davina. He's not human and I believe he's dead.

“Loh, Davina. You ...”

“One campus, he also attended college in isni,” I replied. “Lo from where, why bring a friend?” I asked as I stared at the figure that was following Marsa.

“Arka, please help me. He doesn't want to go, I don't know why.” Marsa spoke while holding my hand, indicating she really needed help.

“Why can he follow lo?”

Marsa shook her head. I tried to interact and the answer made me step back.

“Arka,” Davina and Marsa said together.

“Lo no promise debt or ever hurt him ‘kan?” point me at the figure behind Marsa.

“I don't know, which is clear I always avoid. Either when I avoid ever saying rude or behaving unkindly. What is clear is that I always avoid.”

The creature that follows Marsa will leave if Marsa comes with her. He is the man who once expressed love for Marsa, but was rejected. Marsa even moved schools. They met again at the same college. It turns out that his love is still for Marsa and he died because he helped Marsa who almost slipped on the campus stairs, even he who slipped and fell with a head position hit the bottom step and died on the spot.

“It's not my fault that he had to die, it's fate,” Marsa said.

Davina was terrified to see Marsa and the ghost that accompanied her, even davina to the point of holding my shirt behind me.

“Are you guys now so close?” ask Marsa.

“Ya near dong, just look at your position,” I said while joking.

I don't know why my answer made Marsa moody. I don't know how Marsa feels for me, but from the beginning I've made it clear that the four of us including Bono and Oky are best friends.

I don't know why the ghost came towards me and grabbed me by the neck. My hands felt cold when they stuck to my skin, but the grip was hard enough to make it hard to breathe.

“Arka,” said Marsa but did not dare to approach.

Davina yelled and stepped back away from me.

“Arka, what should I do?” ask Davina.

I chanted a prayer and the creature cried out and moved away.

“Marsa, I know you can actually throw him out then why even let him disturb you?”

“Because I need help, to get someone's heart and get rid of someone else,” Marsa said with a smile at me and glanced cynically at Davina.
