Those Who Want My Body

Those Who Want My Body
I Disappear?


When I was in elementary school. I have experienced something similar to what Shahdan experienced. I was in second grade. For some reason, those of us who were in second grade had to go to school in the afternoon after first grade. About 10:00 WIB. Before entering class, there was half an hour before the entrance bell rang.


My friends taught me to play hide-and-seek. When all my friends have found a hiding place, now I live a person who is still confused looking for a place to hide.


"Aish come here. Hide in this closet." A friend waved her hand calling me in a half-whispering voice.


Desperate by the count of guard time that stayed a little, I ran and went into the closet.


Even though things in the closet made me uncomfortable, I still had to hide. Because if I get caught first, my friends will cheat and make me the one who keeps watch.


Fortunately, there is a gap in the closet door that makes the light can enter the closet.


'Wait first. Remember why he didn't come in? Does he have any other place? Then why is his uniform so dirty, especially his hair is messy. Like never in a comb.'


From inside I did not hear the voices of my friends. I thought it was a safe hiding place, with the crumbling chalk rome filling the narrow space I was in.


Long enough I hid in the closet, have my friends been found all? Maybe I'll know if I peek a little.


I slowly pushed the closet door. But the closet door was hard for me to open, like it was locked from the outside.


'How's this? I can't get out.'


As much as I pushed the door, but it still did not open. I'm starting to get scared.


Techs. A chalk dropped in front of the closet, I saw it from the door slit. The chalk rolled away, then stopped hitting the table leg. There was someone in a shabby uniform picking up the chalk.


"It looks like that was the kid. Please, please open the door." I shouted at him, but he just left as if he had not heard my screams.


My eyes kept looking for her and my mouth kept screaming for help. My cheeks are getting wet from the melting of my tears. There was the sound of someone running barefoot. I really hope someone opens this door for me.


Nope. He's not human. My eyes widened, when I found the look in the eyes with the white part reddened through the gap of the door in front of me.


I covered my face with both hands, screaming for help while crying.


Chequek. The closet door opened. I slowly opened my hands.


"Sister Andi. Huuu..." I jumped out of the closet, hugging my feet.


"Dad... Aish meet." Brother Andi shouted to father and mother.


"Aish. thank goodness you're okay." Dad hugged me.


"Dad... mother... Why are you here?"


"Don't you remember Aish?" Ask Mr. Tara, my homeroom teacher.


"What's your word, sir?"


"You disappeared all day, look it's late at night. Your friends have all gone home." Mr. Tara pointed towards the window.


Is correct. It's already night. But when I was in the closet it was still bright.


I shook my head slowly.


"According to your friends, you're playing hide-and-seek. But after all your friends are found, you're left who haven't. They've been looking and screaming for your name but there's no answer. Even one of your friends had opened this closet, but you weren't inside."


'I disappeared?'


I just kept my head down.


"I'm sorry, Aish sir, sorry to bother you and your friends."
