When he returned to his room, Sakamoto was pensive about what he had just experienced. So much pain in his body, and bitter memories that are hard to erase from memory.
"Huh… I feel like I want to die!"
A very gripping silence became a friend for Sakamoto to contemplate his sad fate.
Everything that had just happened was so hard for him to forget, that he closed his eyes and drifted off into a dream.
…
"Whoa!" Sakamoto immediately woke up with a shocked face, his chest beating fast. "What was that?" A nightmare like reality he was experiencing.
Sakamoto was silent with bulging eyes, the dream seemed very real, he saw a series of events that he had never experienced.
The light of dawn warmed his body to quell the restlessness very quickly. Slowly Sakamoto's breathing began to return to normal.
Sakamoto looked up at the sun that had just risen. He still remembers the strange events that appeared in his dreams.
After that Sakamoto started to return to school which was a hell place for him. His chest suddenly beat faster than usual when he was in front of the school building.
"What's this? Why doesn't my body seem to want to enter the school building! Haven't I been used to receiving insults and insults from everyone? But… why!"
He couldn't control the restlessness that was growing in his heart, his legs were numb with a violent tremor that spread throughout his body.
"Not! Whatever happens I have to move on even though the pain comes back I have to feel." Sakamoto bravely started to walk towards his class, each step his body got heavier.
When he was about to enter the classroom, Sakamoto lowered his gaze, he couldn't bear to see the eyes that always looked humbling on him.
As he walked towards his desk, Sakamoto fell silent with his eyes staring at the table. So many scribbles engraved on it. Words such as weak, stupid, crybaby, innocent child, and loser colored the originally clean table.
A boy accidentally nudges Sakamoto's body. "Sorry!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Then all the children in the class laughed, after seeing Sakamoto get spilled by the drinking water dropped by the boy earlier.
"What is so funny?" That face really pissed him off. "What is the name of a superior school? If the occupants are just despicable creatures who always give bad things to other people." Hands clenched tightly, teeth pressed together with pointed eyebrows.
Sakamoto was ready to release all the anger that had been lodged in his heart. "Is this really how life is? Is justice just a sweet word?"
"Silence everyone!"
Not long after the teacher entered the room, all the students there immediately fell silent.
The teacher looked at Sakamoto who was still standing with downcast eyes.
"Sakamoto what's wrong?" The teacher took the initiative to approach Sakamoto, the boy was like a lifeless statue. "Huh?" It really surprised her to see a table full of scribbles and Sakamoto's clothes were covered in water. The water gave off an unpleasant smell, teacher immediately cover her nose.
"What about you Sakamoto? You're so gross!"
There was no answer from Sakamoto, only a silence.
"Yeah, we've been smelling a bad smell since Sakamoto came in. Our mouths almost puked when we smelled it."
"Hahaha."
A lie that was deliberately thrown to corner Sakamoto.
"No, it's not my fault. This smell is from that person!" Sakamoto said from his heart.
"Shut up!" snapped the female teacher. The attitude of the children in this class was completely immoral. "Sakamoto! I don't want to know, now you go to the toilet and change the clothes that are in your locker!"
Sakamoto then left without answering, his eyes still down. Everyone who smelled the stench that was spreading from his body instantly dodged.
…
"Brack!"
Fist is an expression of irritation from his feelings Sakamoto did in front of the locker.
"Why do I always get the wrong treatment!" The overflow of emotions inside Sakamoto's body was like boiling water.
"Do you want power?"
"Huh?"
A strange and mysterious voice suddenly buzzed in his ears.
"Who is that?"
"Hehehe… did you forget? With our pact yesterday?"
"Uh!"
The brain brought Sakamoto to the memory of yesterday.
***
"What do you see in my future?" That was the question from Sakamoto yesterday when the moment he was waiting for an answer from fate that there might be a miracle in his future.
"You will run into a series of problems that will never be resolved."
Sakamoto's eyes immediately bulged, sweat dripping profusely. "Will there not be any good in the future that I can meet."
"Unfortunately, none! You have a tremendous darkness of destiny. Even myself get goosebumps when I see your future. Dark and very dark, a picture of what I see in you."
"So that's how it is!" Sakamoto's eyes became withered. "But I believe that fate will giving miracles, and only time will tell!" His face was forced into a smile, but the look in his eyes showed deep sadness.
The robed person was a little surprised to see Sakamoto's attitude who was still strong even though he already knew the fate in the future.
"Are you sure that something good will come of it?"
"I don't know, but grandpa said. A miracle will come and save you. Keep being a person who can smile when you see the future." Such a beautiful phrase from past memories, in fact Sakamoto had already lost the smile on his face.
"Listen, stop living in a fantasy. Everything you imagine will never happen, no matter how hard you try to achieve it."
The sound of pessimistic words that made Sakamoto even more mentally depressed was heard. Sakamoto couldn't deny that person's words, because he was really indecisive. He never thought of a better future, for him the past days felt like hell.
"But what can I do to change this fate? I don't have anyone anymore. At school I always get insults and abuse. I don't have the strength to fight it."
"Are you willing to change your fate?"
An offer with a heavy tone, the atmosphere became a gripping silence. Sakamoto's body immediately got goosebumps.
"I can still change this fate?" A look of hope shone clearly in Sakamoto's eyes.
"But what can I do to change this fate? I don't have anyone anymore. At school I always get insults and abuse. I don't have the strength to fight it."
"Are you willing to change your fate?"
An offer with a heavy tone, the atmosphere became a gripping silence. Sakamoto's body immediately got goosebumps.
"I can still change this hell-like fate?" A look of hope shone clearly in Sakamoto's eyes.
"Yes!" replied the robed person with a cold smile on his face. "But it's not happiness that I can give, but a power that can destroy all those who have made you miserable in this life."
Sakamoto fell silent, then he pondered. All those memories replayed in his head.
"If that's what you really want, I'll help you!" continued the robed person.
