The next morning, the sky was blue and the weather was clear.
From the 13-story apartment on the outskirts of Jakarta, pollution and noise are not too pronounced, the sound of birds is sometimes heard even though the sayup.
Erina lived in an apartment whose building had been around for quite some time, so the maintenance was not very good either. He lived there since he was 15 years old, because his parents' house had to be evicted due to the construction of a toll road.
He woke up at 6am this morning, ready to go to the office. When he exited the room, he saw Damien sleeping on the sofa while snoring loudly.
"So, I said the angel of death doesn't need sleep"
Erina had no idea Damien had faced a long night.
Then he prepared an omelet and milk for Damien, then went down to the car park.
When he opened the door he saw some small wreaths of sorrow near his door, but he did not see his name, he thought it was a shipment for his neighbor, so he was indifferent and just walked on.
In Erina's parking lot looking for her car. Almost half an hour he did not find it, he began to panic, even to forget to check his phone first.
He remembered and immediately picked it up in the small bag he was carrying,
...57 missed calls...
...45 unread messages...
Erina was surprised by the number of people contacting her.
Then came a security guard who stood guard in the parking lot. He was quite old and short in stature, they used to say hello when Erina was about to leave for work.
But the security guard looked at Erina differently, his gaze implying fear.
"Ha..hantuuu.", the security guard ran away - terbirit after seeing Erina.
Erina was very confused while looking right left, who did she see as a ghost?
Then he saw the message again, all containing the question of where he was, because his car went into the river and the driver was not found, it has been more than a month.
How surprised when the fact that He was only one day in the afterlife seems to have been in the world for more than a month.
Even news emerged that the yellow car owner had died dragged down the river and his body could not be found.
Erina sat down and was sad, She did not expect it to happen like this.
Damien appeared and crouched down in front of Erina who was looking down.
"In this way, suppose you start a new life, after all you said that the old office contract has not been extended anymore, right?"
"Oh yes.until you forget that you've been fired, haaaahh.yasudah, go back to the room again just aja deh"
"We'll discuss the plan ahead you want to do"
Damien acted like a life counselor.
Arriving upstairs, Erina saw the wreath, and there her name was written, flat from the clients who had worked with her while in the old office, some also came from her coworkers.
Erina grimly read all the writings that are listed there.
Suddenly, Erina's neighbor's room door opened and someone came out. A young woman in her twenties with an unfashionable style, double braided hair and round glasses.
"Akkh.kad Erina! brother Erina is alive!"
the woman immediately hugged Erina without hesitation.
"Eh, Anna, don't you think I'm a ghost?"
"No! I'm sure Erina's brother is alive"
Anna is teary-eyed.
Anna is Erina's companion in this apartment because more or less their fate is the same, losing parents at a young age. Erina thinks of her as her own sister, although Anna still has a father who gives her money, but they do not live together because her father is married again.
"I was so scared when I heard the news of Erina's car accident, I thought we would never see you again, because only Erina's sister can make me excited"
"Well, what's your boyfriend? zaki"
"He again wants to focus on the semester exam, he said, so he can't meet"
Erina knows very well the character of a man who began to behave indifferently, ghosting, and then asked to break up.
"Here you go to my room yuk, we chat - chat, but brother again there are guests"
Erina also introduces Damien to Anna, Anna is confused because she does not see anyone there.
Damien closed his eyes, shaking his head.
"Akh ya I forgot", Erina did not remember the fact that the men who stayed at her house, which she thought could be trusted, turned out to be invisible to others.
Then Anna confided about her condition in the last few weeks, her father no longer sent her money, her boyfriend began to avoid her often, and on campus the value went down.
Damien only watched the two from afar.
After Anna left Damien asked,
"So that kid is the same fate as you?"
"Okay, I don't want him to be as desperate as I was yesterday"
"Good, if you're mentally stable, I can go and get back to work"
"Omong - speaking of work, Damien, do you know what it's like to lose your job?"
"No, but I think this situation might cause that to happen"
"Because of me?"
"I'm not the best at this job either"
"Does every creature in the afterlife have a job?"
"I'll explain, so in the hereafter there is...."
1. Greater being/big boss: creator and
everything regulator.
2. Astral: born as an astral being,
the shape is different - sort of.
3. White soul: born as a human.
4. Black soul: lost human soul /
heavenward.
Astral form:
Human, Animal, formless/random,
angels and demons are also astral but the levels are different.
Astral can choose to work or just flirt forever, because astral is eternal, does not need to eat, sleep, and can only die if killed by astral higher power level.
Each astral has a special power that is considered like magic for humans, such as changing shape, giving rise to objects, changing the form of objects, moving /teleportation. So many humans have made a pact with astral beings.
"So, are you working because you don't want to be vague?"
"Hey, I also want a better life, if we work, we can have a better social status, and also can get a decent place to live"
"Well, it's just like humans"
"Yes, whatever creatures the Great Boss created, all of them had to fight for life".
"Once it seems, eh yes, how is the fate of my car?", Erina arrived - suddenly remembered her car that went into the river.
He and Damien decided to find the car.
After asking the police station, they also stopped by the used car disposal center, where Erina found her car that had been crushed, and would likely be destroyed if no one would take it back.
Erina got into her car that smelled bad, she held the steering wheel and her memory rose. Ride a car with his Mother's Father, go on a trip or just buy something. His parents were very kind to him, although sometimes he realized he did not look like his Father or Mother, but He never had a bad idea.
"Dam!", Erina called Damien who was standing outside the car wearing a black shirt and work pants and black pantovel shoes.
"What strength can you have to fix this car?", asked Erina with a hearty look.
Damien smiled wryly and shook his head, Erina sighed, it seems that she should give up her car.
They hurry to return to the apartment, but on the road Erina decides to stop by the coffeeshop where she works part-time to tell him that she is fine.
At the coffeeshop, the visitor looks crowded, but the cashier and baristanya is not a person he knows, he dizzy looking for his manager, Mr. Bong, but it turns out that Mr. Bong has given ownership of the coffeeshop to a young woman.
"Erina!", came the voice of a woman.
The voice came from a short-haired purple young lady, dressed in an elegant career woman-like style.
"Eh, Clara right?", Erina pointed at the lady uncertainly.
Apparently the new owner of the cafe was his best friend during High School first. They are nostalgic and tell a lot of stories until evening, Erina can also go straight to work again whenever she wants.
Hearing the good news, Erina's heart became very happy when she returned to the apartment, she forgot her sadness for a moment.
Suddenly heard the ringing of the phone, not Erina's phone but Damien's.
On the screen was written 'Supervisor', Damien's face became tense.
