< Last time Richan was sleeping quietly until morning, luckily, that this time he not experiencing the Dream again, after last morning on his school>
.
*Yawns*
.
Woah, what hour is this, hmm?, its 4 AM, am I not gonna have a strange Dream again? it's a good relief then.
.
I woke up from my bed, make it up, and about to do morning prayer, I'm going to the first floor, and go to the praying space, where, we make a pray, there is already someone there, it was Duran, he was already about to make a pray too.
.
So I greet him while yawning "good morning kak" then Duran, noticed me and replied "Morning, you had a good dream?" hmm, is not having that strange dream, considered a good dream?.
.
Well, I just answer him with "hmm, I did not have a nightmare last night", Duran nodded hearing my answer and he talks again "that's good, let's just pray together now".
.
Duran's face is a bit… sad I think not like usual, maybe it's just me, then... I take ablution first and follow up with Duran to pray together.
.
Then we pray together, well, I and Duran usually pray together, but it's getting rare because he's going to College, and he stays at a boarding house near his college, that's why when it's a holiday, I always play with my brother too.
.
Im getting back to my room after we pray, and Im laying around again, well, I have so much free time now, it's a self-study until next time, but like hell Im gonna study.
.
< 3 Hours later >
.
"Swetty come here already, it's already morning"
.
Ahh it's my mom called me from the dining room, ohh it's already 7, it's time for breakfast I see, I think everybody is already in the dining room.
.
"Yess mom gonna be there in a minute," I said
.
I wake up from my bed and grab my necklace from my storage as always and wear it, Im going to the bathroom to wash my face first.
.
I wash my face, then I checked the mirror, " hmm it really turn black huh, I thought it was brown" that's what I said when I saw the mirror and inspect my eyes, then there is something in the sink.
.
"Huh?, whose hair is this" there is a hair stuck on the sink, I take the hair, so it will not block the water, but.
.
"ehh, white? I thought it's my hair" as I saw the strain of hair, its white color as silver, maybe it's father's hair.
.
"*sigh*, he getting old huh," I said while throwing the hair to the trash bin.
.
After I wash my face, I go directly to the dining room, and yep, they are already there too.
.
"Good morning everyone," I said while I grab the chair and sit.
.
Father replied while reading his morning newspaper as usual "Good morning son, how are you".
.
Then I reply again "I'm pretty great today, dad, you must take care of your health now" in the thought of that white hair I found on the sink.
.
"huh, what do you mean Richan, Im still healthy you know, and Im not that old too" father replied while looking at me confused.
.
Hmm on second thought, yeah, my father is only 44 years old now, and his hair is still fresh black, and maybe other people even gonna think that father still looks like in his 30s, he looks a lot like Duran, well of course genetics are the real deal.
.
When Im taking a bowl of rice from the rice cooker, my mom talks to me, "Richan you know what's gonna happen on Sunday right?" I stopped midway hearing what mom was saying.
.
Then I say "hah?, is there any special event on Sunday, mom?" because I don't have any idea what's gonna happen on Sunday.
.
Mother takes the food to the dining table and sit, then she said " you silly, it's your birthday how do you even forget about that"
.
Oh yeah, it's my birthday…, I will be 15 years old on Sunday, well it's not like we're going to have a party anyway, maybe we just gonna have a small dinner at the family restaurant, we're a simple family anyway.
.
After Im did taking a bowl of rice and sit again, and I say "Ah yes, I just realized that".
.
Father drop the newspaper and have breakfast too, but before that, he said " do you want anything for your birthday ?".
.
Im a bit surprised and happy, because on my birthday I never got a present except having a fancy family dinner, but I can't reply now to my father's question, because I still don't have anything in my mind.
.
So I just say "im gonna think about it later dad".
.
Dad reply again "okay, just say it and we're gonna buy it later, make sure that's something not too expensive".
.
After dad takes the meal, we start to have breakfast, don't forget to pray before eating too!, this morning we had a Crispy fried chicken, my favorite food especially because my mother makes sambal that makes the chicken tastier, first, I take the chicken and put sambal on top of it, and crush the chicken, then tadaaa, "Chicken Geprek" is done.
.
While we're having breakfast, I take a glance at Duran, I think his expression is getting better, maybe it's just my imagination earlier.
.
After we're having breakfast, Im helping mom to take the dirty plates, to the dishwasher, but when I take the plates I overheard Duran saying something to father.
.
"Father Im gonna go out later, I can't go to the hospital, there is ...…", that's what I heard before I can't hear it again because of the distance too far.
.
Oh maybe he gonna go out playing with his college friends, I heard one of his friend's houses is near our neighborhood, naturally, I want to go too, but Im gonna go to the hospital later for a checkup, and no way mother is gonna allow me because Im on the self-study now.
.
<4 hours later, when Richan and his parent about to go to hospital>
.
Im already taking a bath and dressing up, and Im waiting in the living room for my parent to get ready, while waiting Im checking on my phone In case there is some important message.
.
There is Ryan sending today assignments, welp, another work to be done, and then there are my boys just fooling around as always, then there is Yana… she messaging me talking about am I in the hospital yet, I click on it and when Im about to reply her, my mother called me to get in the car.
.
I hurried to go outside and get in the car, then we depart to hospital, on midway I just remember something, that is Im about to reply to Yana message, but, I forgot something too, it's my phone, my dumbass forgot to bring my phone on the living room couch, well its already midway to hospital, like hell we're gonna turn back to home to get my phone.
.
< Around 1 hour later>
.
Long story short, we arrived at the hospital, signed up, and waited for my turn, It was already around 20 minutes Im waiting here, it's getting bored because I don't have my phone right now, and of course, Im getting sleepy too, so Im going to bathroom to wash my face.
.
The hospital bathroom looks pretty nice and neat, well that's good grief because I can't stand a dirty bathroom, especially the toilet, the bathroom model looks like a mall bathroom with a long mirror on the wall.
..
It seems nobody in the bathroom, and I just go straight to the sink, I look at my face first in the mirror, you know like, everybody doing that too right?.
.
im saying to myself in the mirror "What a lookie", it's just a bit of self-appreciation okay, luckily no one here.
.
Then I lean my head on the sink and wash my face, Im a bit refreshed, for now, *sigh*, I hope we're going home soon.
.
when I was about to be done washing my face.
.
"Of course you are ~", said someone, oh crap, I think I was wrong for being alone, now Im being ashamed, ahh he sounds like a young boy I think, but wait, why does it sound like he is beside me?.
.
"Afterall… we have the same looking ~"
.
Huh?.... what did he mean by that ?, Im still facing the sink, instead of being ashamed, now…, Im a bit scared, still facing the sink, I realize something is on the sink.
.
It's… a strand of white hair, I have a bad feeling about this, this situation feels like in those horror movies, where the ghost is haunting because the person Is cursed, oh no, Im too frightened to raise my head.
.
I think... there is no other choice.
.
I gripped both of my hands, taking a deep breath, gather all my brave and gut, and quickly turn my head up and looked at my right side.
.
Ehh?... there is no one here, I thought I hear his voice near me, oh my god, is it a ghost?.
.
"Anuuu... Im here you know ~ " I hear it again, but…, it's from in front of me, then... I glanced at the mirror.
.
There are only a mirror and my reflection on it, but at the same time, it's not my reflection.
.
The reflection of me in the mirror is… has a Silver ash hair color, and golden eye pupil, and he, I mean me in the mirror is smiling brightly.
.
"Wh.. what is this," I said while stuttering and backing off from the mirror, but, the reflection is not even changed now.
.
"Have a nice Dream now, Richan...~" he said with his sweet tone while leaning his head to his left shoulder, acting like….. cute.
.
Surprised about what was he said, I respond while I try to grasp my posture withholding on one of the stalls "hah, what do you mean by a dream, how do you know my na…"
.
Before I cant even finish my sentence, all of sudden, I became very sleepy again.
.
... this feeling is similar to when I'm was thrown up by Dark on the black space in my last dream, I think.. Im gonna passed out again.
.
Is this, am I gonna experiencing that dream again? no way... I thought It was finished.
.
" don't worry Richan, everything gonna is alright ~," he said when my eyelid fully closed as Im passed out.
