The Eternal Fragments of Moonlight
Chapter 9: The Red Turns Violet

He was still standing in the middle of the room with both of his hands clenched very firmly. His face was flushed red adorned with a line of veins that reflected on the clear skin of his forehead. Panting with his anger, Laras muttered in a loud voice.

"Why... This kind of thing has never happened before, right!?"

Right now there's only him and me in this patient room number 307. Ever since he shouted to order everyone to come out earlier, there was no one here but the two of us. Even the nurse who was here could not say anything to Laras when he shouted. Not surprising indeed, because I think anyone would be afraid when watching Laras explode earlier.

With anger still clearly on his face, Laras then glanced at the pink Carnation flower arrangement that Mira had placed on the dashboard before she left the room. Soon Laras walked quickly and took the flower arrangement. He had already scooped it up high and was about to throw it on the floor. But his movement was restrained, and then he turned to look at my body lying on the hospital bed beside him.

Slowly his face softened. The teeth that had been bluffing had now returned to normal. Finally, he was also stopped to slam the flower arrangement and put it back on the dashboard. Thankfully though.

Fortunately, he did not slam it. Because if he slammed it earlier, I don't know what I'd look like. Although actually I myself have never seen my appearance in this condition, but I know for sure. If Laras so slammed the strands of the Carnation flower, surely I will show an expression that is no less terrible than what he showed before. It might even be more terrifying.

Speaking of my shape, I also remembered Ronny. The boy who was just a fool with a tall body and Mohawk hair sometimes, he seemed to be able to see me. Sometimes he likes to look right at where I am. Just like he did in the patient's room or in the classroom when they were discussing distorted messages on Mira's phone. I also became curious, how exactly Ronny saw my shape. The handsome? Cool huh? Or maybe ugly?

Alan's entourage has now reached the hospital gate. They were walking to the bus stop to go home.

"Ih, what the hell did that Laras let out that yell earlier? She doesn't know if this is a hospital?!" Umpat Dian's. "Alan, you're the only one here who talks to her a lot, you know why?"

Alan answered as well. "I don't know why he's like that..."

For a moment things became quiet. It looks like Alan was quite hit with the incident in the patient's room earlier. How not, just now he witnessed the "other side" of the girl he had thought was enough. Barrels.

“Aji... Rizky Triaji..” On the other hand, Ronny still mentions my name while holding his slightly hairy chin. He's been like that since he left the hospital.

“Aagh bangke! Why can't I just suck?!” This time he squeezed his head.

“Ron, are you sure that Aji is absent is above your name when we are first class?” Dian asked.

“Yes, I'm sure! Because at that time I like to cheat him time replay because the bench he fit next to my bench. Well to pay for that, I sometimes have to hang out twice in the morning because he often comes in late.”

“But that's really the guy?” Said Alan.

“Gue... Agh! I did not know.”

“Loh how?” Continue Alan. “Continue in your memory, the person is like how?”

“Ugh!” Ronny squeezed his head. Her hair is no longer Mohawk. “Gue... can't inget..”.

Seeing Ronny like that finally Alan also showed a face of pity. He put his hand on Ronny's shoulder and said.

“Udah ngak need to be forced to inget, later also inget themselves.” His word. “But, this is really weird. If what Ronny said is true, why are you guys not interested in him at all?”

“Not to mention..” Continue Alan. “What is his relationship with Laras? It's so really suspicious. Oh yes Di, are the three of you one class with Laras time is still tenth class?”

Dian replied with a head shake. Since leaving the patient's room earlier, he still continued to embrace Mira beside him. She led him to walk and helped him rub his wet cheek with tissue.

“Hmm bizarre. In addition, the most strange thing is about.” Alan turned to Mira who is currently bowed lethargic. His eye bags were blushing and his vision was still empty. Perhaps Alan was willing to ask what reason made Mira cry. But after seeing such a condition, who would have the heart?

“Dian, can you anter Mira to her house?” Said Alan. “Or if you want, I can also take you.”

“Yes, let me drive myself.” Said Dian while nodding and smiling.

They also continued their journey. All that time, Ronny was still muttering my name. His face was completely wrinkled. His eyebrows were almost together. Seeing this boy for the first time racking my brain so violently made me want to open up and start scolding him. But what Alan did. He only saw Ronny like that once, then looked straight ahead with a face I could tell, pretty creepy.

Not long after they reach the stop, the bus that Mira and Alan will ride arrives. They both went up the same class. When Mira was about to go up, she said to Dian who had followed her behind.

“Not to transfer, Di. I have nothing.” He said with a smile.

“Eh? Really nothing?” Dian looked at Alan for approval. “Ka, if so usher Alan aja yes, until home?”

Mira just answered by smiling back.

“Mira be careful on the road! I love yuuuu!” Dian exclaimed as the two of them were carried away by the bus he was riding on.

“Hey Ron, what do you want to go home with? I want to pesen ojek.”

Ronny did not answer. He seems to be busy moving all the neurons in his brain. While sitting on the bench stop with his Socrates pose but too straddling.

The red afternoon sky was now slowly turning into a purplish dark blue evening sky. The street lights are starting to light up. A time like this is a time that one can call shafak time. Where at this time the movement from day to night. When Dian's order came, he reprimanded Ronny again for farewell.

“Hey Ron, Ronny!”

“Ronniiiii!”

“Ugh yasudah, I first ya?” Dian got on the ojek and left.

To be honest, I was very impressed with the determination of this boy while he was brain-twisting. To the extent that Dian's shrill scream did not make her flinch in the least. I wondered what was really in the head of this boy.

And finally, even though I've never done this before and I don't know exactly how I'm doing this. On a whim, just like that, I tried to reprimand this boy just like Dian had done.

“Ron.”

And you know what? He also looked.

***

It's been a long time since Ronny's looked right at me. He had already retreated quite far from his original seat. His hand held the pole stop in such a way as if he was afraid that his body would be carried away by the wind that was blowing. His mouth continued to recite something like prayer or studies that I could not understand at all.

"Ka, who are you?! A, what do you want?!" Ronny finally asked.

"You?" I asked back while trying to smile. I don't know how I did it, but I think I made it. Because now Ronny's frightened face has turned into just a clumsy face.

"Since when have you used me, Ron?" Ask again.

Ronny also became a little smirky, although sliced.

"That's dong. Relax." Say again.

Wow you know how happy I am right now! For the first time I could talk to someone. For the first time anyone can hear me. Since this story began, ah no! Much longer than that, since I found my condition like this, there was no one I could talk to. But now, even though all I can talk to is the little fool is this very stupid but.., agh I'm so happy!

"Se, actually.. who is elo?" Ronny asked again.

"Gue Aji." It must have been very sparkling when I said it.

"I, yes but who is Aji? Elo the other kid who was coma, right? You should be my class, right? Even from first class. But why can't I just run?"

"Hmm, make an answer to that question..." After hearing Ronny's words, I also assumed that my current appearance was like the original form I had.

"Ron, if I told you that I'm a captain, who loves K-pop songs, would you believe me?"

"Pffft, what did you say?"

"Yes, I'm actually a captain who likes K-pop songs." I just imagine myself moving and doing the dance pose as sensually as possible. Because I know for a long time, Ronny was so happy when I acted like this in front of him.

"Combat!" Ronny was crushed to the edge. "Who's elo?! Ahahaha!"

For a long time he was lying in his arms while holding his stomach. I just let him stay like that until he's satisfied. I felt so relieved when I saw it. Entertained by seeing Ronny's behavior there, I also said to myself. "Finally, I'm not alone!"

After the boy was satisfied, he again confirmed his sitting position and rubbed the corner of his eyes slightly wet from laughing.

"Happy?" My toot.

"Haha, yes."

"Well then I'd like to ask you."

I approached her with enthusiasm. Makes Ronny so slightly stunned and put on a wary face.

"Ron, what exactly am I? Is that cool? There are winds all around my body. Ah, or maybe there's some light coming out of my body, like that Super Seiya?"

Hearing my question Ronny's face immediately turned witty. Soon he was back on his lap while slapping his own thighs.

"Aahaha!"

"Oii raspy, I'm serious." My word. To be honest, I was actually most upset when Ronny was acting like this. I wanted to make him stop laughing. But whatever the power, I can't do that.

"Ro."

"Aahaha, sorry-sorry. Now this is lo... Ahahahah. What did you say, Super Seiya?!"

"Elo naked! Ehaha!"
