Two Twins Separated
14 | ARSELYA ERVA

Kevin Ardhana, the new student continued to pay attention to Reva even until the break time arrived. At that time, Reva had just arrived at the classroom after dropping off the books to the teacher's room. He saw Vian still sitting on his stool, engrossed in his books. He was studying because he was wearing glasses. Kevin was standing behind his bench.

"Vian, what are you working on?" ask Reva. He approached Vian's desk to see what he was doing. Reva looked at Kevin for a bit, apparently he did the same. Reva quickly rolled her eyeballs, taking her eyes off.

"Ah, I was repeating the lesson earlier," Vian replied as he looked at Reva.

"Then can I study?" Vian smiled, continued to nod.

"Oh yeah, new kid, your name's Kevin, right? Do you want to study together?" tawar Reva's. Kevin looked at her expressionlessly.

"He looked back at Reva like that. What's wrong?" Vian wondered in his heart.

"If you don't want to be okay. I'm sorry," said Reva withstanding fear.

"Wait!" said. Reva was surprised to hear his voice. He turned around, looking at Kevin.

"Didn't you remember me?" ask Kevin without further ado. The question made Reva and Vian look at each other.

"Eh? But we just met today. I just got to know you" Reva replied with a small laugh.

"No. We've met before. We used to go to school" Kevin argued. Vian was surprised, even more so Reva.

"No, you must have mistaken. I've never met you" Reva said. He seemed to be getting confused because of Kevin's words. Vian took off his glasses, trying to join their chat.

"Then, what's this girl's name?" Vian spoke up and immediately asked Kevin.

"His name is Erva. Arselya Erva," Kevin replied without a doubt.

"Erva?" tanya Reva repeated Kevin's words. His eyes are round. He suddenly fell silent, unresponsive.

"Reva? What's up?" Vian began to realize something was strange.

"Erva? I-I..." A strange voice appeared in Reva's head. Reva held his head.

"Erva, don't take my doll!"

"Erva? Wait, I've heard that name." Reva squeezes her hair. A faint voice ringed in his ears.

"Erva and Reva, always together."

"Who? Who's Erva?" Not long after he felt the pain in his head. He squeezed his head.

"Reva, what's going on?" ask Vian as he approaches Reva.

"Reva? No. gabe. Her name is Erva," Kevin argued. He was surprised because the girl he suspected Erva suddenly had a headache.

"Erva? Erva?" reva asked while holding his head. He sat down because he felt a terrible headache.

"Reva? Oh gosh. He's back with a headache. I'll take you to the UKS." Meanwhile, Reva felt more and more pain in her head. His head feels heavy.

"No, I don't want to go to the UKS." Reva refused, holding her head back.

"Reva, don't be stubborn at a time like this!" suddenly Vian shouted. But Reva ignored him. His body began to sweat.

"Reva!" Bella screamed, running towards Reva.

"I... I'm it's okay. Don't worry!" said. Reva closed her eyes, still sitting on the floor. He repeatedly caught his breath.

"Do you still have a headache? I'm going to the UKS, taking the drugs. Bella, take care of Reva for a second!" Reva refuses, holding Vian's hand, as if giving a code not to leave. Vian said, watching Reva who was silent while closing her eyes.

Flashbacks

In one room, it looked so neat. The room is dominated by blue. There was one bed, a study table, a wardrobe, and some toys. There are also two twin girls, apparently five years old.

"What's up?" one child came with a doll.

"Look in the mirror! We are both similar" he said. The child named Reva displayed an expression that seemed ordinary.

"Reva, smile a little. Here I show you how." the kid took the doll Reva was holding. He confronts Reva in the mirror, forcing her to smile.

"Erva, give me back my doll!" shout Reva. But Erva stuck out her tongue, hiding the doll behind her tiny body.

"Take it if you can." Reva tries to tickle Erva, she laughs.

"Don't play tickle. Reva cheated!" shout Erva. But Reva did not care, he continued to tickle Erva until he could not fight. Suddenly the warm moment disappeared.

Flashback Done

***

Back in the classroom atmosphere. Reva, Vian, Bella, and Kevin. It didn't take long until Reva's headache disappeared. "I can see it" he said.

"What do you see?" vian asked, confused by Reva's words. Bella looked at him.

Reva sighed, confirming her sitting position. "An event is vague again. I saw him again."

"What do you see?" Bella asked again. His hand held Reva's shoulder, urging her to tell a story.

"Bella, we better not ask her directly," Vian spoke up. Bella understood the point.

"You're right. Do you still feel pain, Rev?" ask Bella. Reva shook her head, smiling at Bella.

"Do you need permission to go home first?" added Bella. Reva shook her head strongly. "I don't want to. I'm fine."

"alright. If you feel any pain again, tell us. You got it, right?" Reva nodded in understanding. He doesn't talk much.

"It seems like something he's been through. I'll ask you later," Vian thought.

Meanwhile Kevin was still standing, pecking at his place earlier. He watched their every move. "You... What the hell is going on with you?" He finally asked. They looked at Kevin.

"Eitherway. I don't know why it's like this. It seems like today I'm not well" replied Reva. He tried to stand up, sitting on his stool.

"Aren't you Erva? Arselya Erva, my only friend in Junior High." Reva frowned, returning to thinking.

"Erva, huh?" Reva shook her head, trying to remember something. But nothing got him. He took a long breath. "I've heard that name. I don't know when and where. I've forgotten."

His words invited questions for Vian and Bella. Wanting them to ask more deeply, but it seems useless because Reva does not remember anything.

"It looks like the name has something to do with Reva," we Vian in heart. He looked at Kevin, still speaking inwardly. "Kevin mentioned that name and claimed to know someone named Erva. But who is Erva? Why did Kevin suddenly call Reva by that name? Weird."

"What's wrong? You look at me so deep." Kevin sat on his bench, leaving them.

Vian turned his eyes. "There's nothing" he answered.

After school Vian offers to drive Reva home.

"Reva, I'd like to ask you something about this." Vian asked without taking his eyes off the hot asphalt road.

Reva. "Ask me."

"When Kevin called you by that name, why did you suddenly have a headache?"

"Eitherway. I don't know why it could be like that. I think he just upside down mentioning my name. But all of a sudden my head aches, like a pounded-up part here." Reva pointed at the part of her head that was hurting.

"Erva and Reva. At first glance, the name sounds similar. Just a little upside down."

Reva laughed a little. "You're right. Do you know what, Vian? When I heard that name, I felt like I had heard it before. I even felt like I had met that person named Erva. It's so weird."

"Oh, so."

"Yes. I may have known him before I was treated in a sick bed. Just like I don't recognize Bella" Reva guessed.

Vian. There's a lot more to say, but it doesn't seem like the time. "Maybe so."
