SURREPTITIOUS
The Part 37

"Hhhhh!" Amadhea woke up. Cold sweat flowed from all over his body. Even her hair was a little wet. He rubbed his face and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

Amadhea stared at the reflection of her face in the mirror. The lump on his left forehead is still visible, maybe even getting bigger. Amadhea touched. There was no pain at all when Amadhea pressed down on the bump.

If felt, like there is a soft part inside the lump.

Amadhea took the scissors and cut her front hair to make it look a little shorter and can be used as a lump cover on her forehead. Then he took a hairpin.

At school.

Greeta had breakfast as usual in the cafeteria. Zahra and Alinda were there too. A student enters the cafeteria. The three of them looked at the girl.

"Dhea?" Zahra gawking.

The girl who turned out to be Amadhea turned her head. She looks different from her wavy hair.

"Gee!" Greeta was amazed with her mouth full.

Amadhea brought bread and sat down beside Greeta.

"When do you go to the salon? Well, you look different" Alinda said.

"Beautiful." Zahra was anxious to see Amadhea's cute face.

Amadhea just smiled a little. "Ah, you could. I'm dabbing my own hair at home."

"Are you dating Xaga?" ask Greeta kepo.

"Huh?" Amadhea put her face back.

Alinda. "Yes, I think so too. People say, when a girl falls in love, she'll change her appearance to be more beautiful."

Zahra turned to Amadhea waiting for an answer.

"Who says changing your hairstyle or appearance is just because you're in love?" amadhea asked half a grumble.

"My mother" replied Alinda quickly.

"Oh." It's not just Amadhea. Zahra and Greeta are also oh-bareng.

"I'm not dating anyone, really. I changed my hairstyle because I wanted to" said Amadhea, switching the conversation.

Greeta and Alinda. "Oh, kirain."

Actually I don't want to cut my hair or make a cut, but how else, I have to hide the lump on my forehead, the inner Amadhea.

"As long as I don't go to school, is there still some possession in this school?" ask Amadhea.

"The school has dealt with it with the help of those who like to help the possessed. No more possession two days ago" replied Alinda.

"Thank God" said Amadhea.

When the break came, Amadhea and her friends went to the cafeteria, but the cafeteria table was full. They had to go to a restaurant outside the school which was not too far away.

"Waaaahhh, look at the menu!" Greeta looked at the menu book and wrote down some of the foods she wanted.

"What do you want to order? Let me write down your order," Alinda said, carrying the order paper.

"I want to take a peek at the same stuff" said Zahra.

"I'm cibay with batagor. Drink young coconut ice" said Amadhea.

"Oh, yes, I drink iced tea sweet" said Zahra.

Alinda looked serious writing down the order. He looked at Greeta. "What do you want to order?"

Greeta took a breath and then mentioned the food he ordered such as rapping, "Bakwan meatballs, seblak, goang peeker, mercon claw, beefy chicken plus rice, cimol, basreng. Dessert roll 2 doughnuts, chocolate donuts 4, strawberry donuts 2, blueberry donuts 8, milk pie 1. Drink orange juice 2 equal 3 mango soup."

Alinda wrote the letter B. He looked up at Greeta who was smiling sweetly. "Emm. You just write it yourself, yeah."

Greeta nodded. He took a paper order from Alinda and wrote his own order.

When their order food came, the four students ate it. Xaga and his friends enter the restaurant. They looked at Amadhea and her friends.

"You're here too?" Zayn saw a lot of food on the table, there was hardly any empty space.

"Dark on!" Greeta waved her hand.

Greeta feeds Elan.

Zahra and Amadhea who are single acutely can only see the intimacy of Greeta and Elan.

Xaga and Zayn looked mediocre, while Alinda and Arnold chuckled at the romance.

"Today the canteen is full, the tumbens, yes," Zayn said.

"Children are 10 times class" Elan said.

They eat food with hunger, because of hunger. After that, they went back to class.

Zahra and Alinda first followed Elan and Greeta, then behind Zayn and Arnold, the last Amadhea and Xaga.

"You still look pale, why force yourself into school?" ask Xaga.

"I think it's more dangerous if I stay home too long, so I want to go to school to avoid them" Amadhea said.

The wind blew on Amadhea's face. Her hair moved and slightly revealed her forehead.

Xaga noticed a lump on Amadhea's left forehead. The lump was moving like it was rolling.

"Attent." Xaga halted his steps and then clasped Amadhea's hand.

Amadhea's steps stopped. He looked at Xaga. The man revealed the hair covering his left forehead. Right, the lump is twitching.

Being stared at like that by Xaga made both of Amadhea's cheeks flushed red.

"Is this sick?" ask Xaga.

Amadhea.

"If you have time this afternoon, I will take you to Ratih's house. He's an expert in the paranormal" Xaga said.

Amadhea nodded.

In the afternoon, Xaga came to Amadhea's house on his motorcycle. They went to the house of a man named Ratih. A young grey painted house. There were many plants in front of his house.

Xaga knocked on the door. "Excuse me? Ratih's mom?"

Door opened. A woman in her 30s opened the door. He looked at Xaga and Amadhea alternately. "Oh? Xaga?"

Ratih let the two of them into his house. Xaga and Amadhea sat opposite Ratih. There are many antique and ancient items in the living room. A large glass with a golden frame placed in the living room caught Amadhea's attention. There were three red candles burning in front of the glass.

Amadhea was surprised to see two masked figures standing behind Ratih. They both have a good aura. Their bodies emitted a golden yellow radiance.

"You feel their interference, huh?" ask Ratih to Amadhea to the point.

Amadhea nodded. "Yes, ever since my parents died, things have gotten more complicated. I've been having weird dreams lately and I think they're real."

Ratih nodded in understanding. "You're dreaming of a real event, Dhea. You're in the middle between two dimensions."

Xaga was shocked to hear Ratih's words. "How come? Is it possible...."

Ratih. "You're not just being bullied, you've been possessed by that ghost. No, not possessed. More precisely you and the ghost have fused."

Amadhea froze. He swallowed the salivary.

What Ratih saw, Amadhea's eyes sometimes look normal, sometimes also changing to all black.

"You don't realize it, Xaga?" ask Ratih.

Xaga shakes.

Train turned to Amadhea. "That's why you can see, even touch subtle creatures. In addition to your open inner eyes, you also have a part of that creature's body."

Amadhea looked worried. "Then... I have to how?"
