BLUE MOON'S
MOSQUITOES

            After parting ways with Nathan last night, he said he'd pick me up and go with the campus.

            Sure enough, now he's in front of my house. Driving a white SUV. Standing next to his car waiting for me.

            “Zee.” Nathan waved his hand at me. I saw me walking towards the gate.

            “Kenap not entered?” ask him who is still standing. Her white skin looks shiny in the morning sun.

            “It's okay.” He looked at me and walked to the door of his car. Opened it for me.

            “If anyone sees, they think you're an uninvited guest. Not allowed to enter the owner.” Answer looked at him.

            Nathan laughed when he heard it. “No problem right, I don't know them either.” Smiling words. He raised one of his hands and advised me to get into the car immediately.

            I nodded and walked closer to him. “I'm ashamed!” I said and got in the car.

            Nathan just smiled and closed the car door for me. From inside the car I could see him walking and holding a smile on the other side of the car.

            Nathan, who had come in and sat next to me, looked at me silently. It was like there was something to say, yet he held it back and smiled back.

           “Created to use.” Nathan Said. His face is a little closer to me. His hand moved and pulled an elastic rubber that was attached to my chair. "It." The words showed me and paired my safety belt.

            “Ohh, Ahh.." I stammer. Surprised by the situation. "So? We go straight to campus?” I asked to divert the conversation. My face feels hot and reddened withstanding embarrassment.

            Nathan laughed and shook his head. “No, we go somewhere first.” He said and turned on his car, preparing to leave.

*****

            “Why are we here?” I looked at Nathan's back walking in front of me. His hand held my arm. To help me and to walk.

            “There's something I want to show you.” Nathan kept walking. Not looking at me at all.

            I don't know what Nathan's doing. He took me back and into the forest I hadn't been to in a long time.

            “Jadi..,” says. “This is the place you were referring to?"

            Nathan just kept silent and kept walking, pulling my arm to keep following him.

            “This is you Zee?” Nathan looked at me. He has released his grip on me. Walk away from me and stop in front of something.

            “You mean?” I was confused by his words.

            “This!” Nathan pointed at a pile of cloths before him.

            “Means?” I still don't understand the conversation.

            “I found these fabrics bound in the tree. This is you, isn't it? You've been to this forest alone, haven't you?” Nathan looked at me. There was no smile that emanated like before on his face.

            I stared at Nathan silently. Don't know what to answer. I know it was my doing, but it was a long time ago. I forgot about this forest.

            “Zee!” Nathan raised his voice.

            A feeling of fear spread through my body, his warm voice had turned extremely cold. I just nodded my head not daring to make a sound.

            “Why? I told you not to come here?” Nathan asked me who was already afraid of him. A creepy feeling surrounded Nathan's body.

            “Sorry.” My voice slowly. Dare not look him in the face.

            “That's not what I want to hear Zee.” Nathan walked up to me.

            “Zee, look at me.” Nathan said, standing right in front of me.

            His eyes that always looked bright brown turned red. A golden red wing appeared to come out from behind his back, just like it used to but with a different air enveloping him.

            “Tell me, why are you here? What are you looking for until you dare to come here?” nathan looked at me.

            “No.” Reply slowly. “I'm just curious. Nothing else.”

            “Question about what? What do you see until you are curious about this forest. Impossible without reason.” Nathan insisted.

            “I..,” my voice stopped. Staring at Nathan who was still standing in front of me.

            “Why?” nathan said, watching me stop my words.

            “I, just curious about something. But I also don't know what.” is Reply confused.

            “Means?” Nathan looked at me.

            “You sure?” Nathan doesn't seem to believe it. She frowned, and looked at me confused.

            I'm nodding. Convince her that I really am not lying.

            “So? What are you doing here?” Nathan asked again.

            “Nothing, I was just curious about the voices. I wonder where it came from, and what exactly fell in this area of the forest. Even lightning was seen striking it even though the rain did not fall at all that time.” My answer.

            “When? Full moon too?” ask Nathan.

            I just nodded in agreement. The terrifying aura emitted by Nathan earlier slowly faded away. Hearing my answers to his questions.

            “So? What did you find here?” Nathan looked at me.

            “Nothing, just a black feather big enough. Strange writings on the ground and grass that look burned.” My speech.

            “You sure it's just that?” nathan asked to make sure.

            “Ya.” I nodded. “and I saw two people were in that place before.” My answer.

            “Place? What place?” ask Nathan.

            “The place where I found those writings.”

            “You saw the faces of those two old men?” ask Nathan again.

            “No.” I shook my head. “They covered it, I didn't see at all. Just, like they were looking for something but didn't find it.”

            “Besides?” ask Nathan. “Did you not find or see anything else?”

            I shook my head. “But, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly invite me here and ask me all this?” I asked Natah who had been asking me since.

            “Nothing.” Nathan answered briefly.

            “Why? I've answered all your questions. Even you let out a air that made me cramped and scared. But why is that your only answer?” I said a little angry. I couldn't accept Nathan's short answer.

            Nathan was surprised to hear my words. A sense of guilt was etched on his face. His flushed wings and eyes suddenly disappeared and changed. Nathan returns to evade warm feelings from himself.

“How?” ask Nathan.

            I nodded my head, a rage still lingering within me at him. “But what about my question? Why are you impressed not to talk about it?”

“Sorry Zee.” Nathan Said. “I just don't want you to get hurt.” Nathan spoke again.

"You..!!" My voice's up.

            Nathan raised one of his hands, a bright light suddenly shot out from above his palm. It blinds my eyes that look at it. The feeling of tightness felt piercing my chest and my head was pulsing nonstop. My body feels cold.

            “I'm sorry Zee and forget everything.” Nathan's Voice. A word I heard before I was unable to listen to anything.”

*****

            “Zee!… Zee!” Aria screaming. “Why you?” he looked at me sitting next to him.

            “Why?” I asked him back. The class was quiet, because of the announcement of the Lecturer who was in a sudden meeting.

            “You're weird Zee. Since then you kept quiet.”Aria answered.

            “Means?” I looked at Aria confused.

            “Yes, since you got into class. You just shut up.” Aria.

            I laughed at his words. “Nothing, I just thought of something but I forgot about what.” I said back laughing.

            “So, how about dinner with Nathan yesterday?” asked Aria looking at me.

            “Already, I don't want to remember it.” Smiling words.

            “Why?” Aria's confused.

            “Nothing, I just don't want to tell a story." I said. "But... are we really empty now?” my many.

Aria just nodded answering my question.

            A strange feeling gathered in my mind. Something felt like it had happened but I was unable to remember or think about anything. I felt like I was missing something, but I wasn't sure what I had lost.
