illusory friend

ever since his father and his parents divorced, they've been so far apart no longer together. Tara, the sweet girl who just wanted to reach adolescence. And just celebrated happy seventheen, changed his attitude and style of theming.

Tara actually felt the rift of her parents' relationship. He heard the names of other women besides his mother. But he couldn't afford to break up. He just hopes this fight is just the spice of his family's life.

Now he is just mourning his survival. He was always on a mine-tipped swing. A place that he found safe and comfortable. The shady mango tree is now his second home. I spend time staring blankly rhythmically.

It was raining heavily and winded round the foliage. I realized that the rain was starting to fall. Tara also whistled to take shelter. But his steps were stifled, there was someone holding his hand.

“don't go, rain is already heavy. You can get sick later” said the mysterious person.

Turning back, the mysterious person suddenly blurred and released his hand. There tara was stunned with a pounding heart. His face was as bright as they were, now turning colorless pale. His hands still felt that touch

“who was it? Kok suddenly there is someone here, whereas the high barrier wall so” he asked in his heart

Tara asks – Ask in heart. A human being he thought of, had already become a lot of subtle creatures. But he doesn't take it too much. He stepped even though he was very heavy.

Tara's move continued. His hands crossed as if he felt cold. Just a few steps away, he felt strange. His head is not wet!?, but the rain is soaking the earth. Tara this time goosebumps, the feeling is not good

Then he tried to turn his body. He saw a man with an umbrella in his hand. The man's face was not visible, thanks to a black leather jacket and a hat with the same color as the jacket, attached to his body

“hay…!! Whoareyou? Where are you from?” tara said in revolt

“already, look ahead. You'll meet your mother and aunt”

Tara followed the orders of the figure. But he did not see his mother and aunt standing there. Then he tried asking again

“but you are...” Tara was shocked to death, the man disappeared again.

“lho is that? But said the man..” said tara but cut off.

“people say? Wh who?

“yesterday someone paddled me to the porch of the house, then went somewhere”

“where is there anyone other than you here?” ib seprti rose blood

“tapi.”

“already ate there, mom had to go to kantor”

Tara fell silent, hearing her mother had raised her tone. He pouted while holding his chin with both hands. Her mother packed up to go to the office.

Mother's gone. Tara is back alone. Back he sat on a rope-mine swing. Repeating again the blank stare, with his hands grasping the rope. His feet did not want to move the swing, but suddenly the swing moved itself. Unmoved.

“let me swing” said the mysterious man

“you!! Again comes suddenly. Soon you will disappear”

“really?”

“iya know! Uh by the way you're ready and why wear all-black clothes? Wanna ngelayatya? Hahaha..” cerocos tara.

The atmosphere was silent, silent. The mysterious person was still moving the swing. Tarapun still enjoying the swing.

“valhen”

“who?”

“remember it yourself, tara”

“heyy !! how do you know what my name is?”

But before the question was answered. The mysterious figure was no longer in place, where he swung a swing for tara. Swing ceased. Curiosity is so strong inside tara makes him try to find the mysterious man. He searched among the bushes, then behind the garage until he was willing to climb up the stairs, to see the situation behind the two-meter-high wall.

“who the hell are you? Valhen...” screams tara echoing.

Tara then swung a step into the house, and she found a photo lying on the floor, though she did not think why she could fall. He saw a person with slightly frizzy hair wearing a thin coat of blue with the words valhen in Algerian font style.

Oh the day that tara, he felt nauseous with this incident. About the mysterious and valhen he said. Tarapun collapsed, lying on the terrace floor.

Tara woke up, she found the house empty, her head still felt dizzy. Tara tried to sit with the head of the mattress. Trying to look freely at what's behind the window.

Then he saw someone sitting on a swing, then stood up and turned around, stepped and disappeared behind a tree. He was surprised when Tara saw him.

Tara got up from the bed and got out. However, her steps stopped when she realized there was a mother in front of her.

“where are you going?”

“chasing valhen bu, he's my friend at..”.

“his head is bleeding heavily, blood is coming out quickly. Daddy's panic, mom's panic doesn't want me to go to jail. And we had a deal to bury him under that tree.” Mother pointed to the tree where tara swung with the silence of her heart

“hopefully it's tenag in nature there. You need to be calm, she knows. Mom and Dad are not wrong about this. The proof is that he did not disturb my calm, even he always accompanied me when mother was not on my side”

Just where the mystery man's birthday was, mother and tara purposely offered a prayer at the place where he was buried, under a tree decorated with a swing. And hope that his arawa will be accepted by God's side. As Tara began to walk away from the tree, she found the mysterious person smiling.
