Chapter 3: Havi's Spirit
"Where am I?"
Havi's spirit floated in a vast place without a foothold that only looked like thick black fog around him. He felt very confused with this unfamiliar place.
In his heart, Havi felt very scared seeing the vast, unknown scenery that was also thick and black fog as far as the eye could see, something he had seen countless times. Is all this just a dream? That's what Havi was thinking right now.
Havi immediately looked at his hands which were now pale white and also looked transparent. Havi also saw his own two feet which seemed to be not standing on anything and were floating in the air. Soon, Havi's cries and regrets broke out amidst the silence of the black fog.
"Im.. Impossible!!! Am.. Am I.. Already.. Dead?!!"
Havi, who is increasingly aware that he may have moved to another realm, is completely devastated by his current situation. He screamed loudly and flew in all directions, hoping that someone would hear and help him.
Havi hopes that he can now return to the worldly life. He really hopes to find a way to go back there. And after Havi had been searching for so long, he realized that it was too late. There was no way back home.
In a state of prostration while still floating in the air, Havi cried uncontrollably. Imagine the dark times of his life when he was in the world. Who knows what kind of punishment God will give to him. Havi can only surrender to accept the fate that has been destined for him.
Havi also remembers when he was young, when both his parents were still alive. The times when happiness and love still embraced him tightly. Both of his parents, who only had one child, Havi, really spoiled him.
Even though he was born into a ordinary family, Havi's parents tried their best to ensure that Havi could continue his education.
All Havi's educational needs are always prioritized. Both of his parents only hope that Havi will be a successful person in this world and the hereafter.
Both of his parents hope that Havi's future will not be like them, who can only work barely enough to meet their daily needs.
Even for the matter of eating, Havi's parents really tried to ensure that Havi could eat 3 times a day even though the risk was they could only eat once a day or even not eat at all. What a great sacrifice a parent makes for their child.
The results can already be seen. Even though Havi is the child of parents who have a ordinary life, during his school days, Havi was the smartest among his peers.
Havi has been the highest ranked student, beating all the other students, for many times.
Not only in his school, but also the highest in all of Telaga City. His name even entered the top 10 smartest students in Hensa Province by achieving second place or Runner Up. He was only a few points behind the highest ranked student at that time.
Apart from being intelligent, Havi is also blessed with a handsome face, tall body and athletic physique. There were so many women who wanted to be his girlfriend when he was in school. From classmates, juniors to seniors, even from other schools.
The highest ranking student in Hensa Province at that time, Diana Galuh, was also Havi's rival in the fight for first place in the entire Hensa Province, also secretly has feelings for Havi after they met several times.
But politely, Havi will always reject all women who pursue him politely on the grounds that he is still focusing on his education. So, they all don't feel hurt because of his attitude.
Havi's happiness completely disappeared when his parents, Mr. Ridho and Mrs. Saras, died as a result of being hit and run by a car driver. Until now, Havi does not know who the perpetrator was behind this tragic event.
Havi, who had just come home from school, found his house crowded with neighbors from the area around his house. And there were also several police officers who were chatting with village head at that time, Mr. Sugiyatmono.
At that time, Havi really felt a bad feeling about his parents. He immediately asked Mr. Sugi, but the village head did not answer his question.
He just stroked Havi's head and told Havi to be steadfast and patient in undergoing all kinds of tests from God.
Havi immediately entered his house while running. Havi even fell because he accidentally collided with a police officer who was also coming out of his residence.
The policeman was not angry and then helped Havi while he was still sitting down. The police quickly told Havi to come in and meet the parents he loved so much.
How broken Havi's heart was when he saw his parents lying stiff and lifeless in a condition that could be said to be pathetic.
Mr. Ridho and Mrs. Saras appeared to have been wrapped in shrouds over their respective bodies.
Only Havi's cries and screams echoed in the room, causing the atmosphere in the house to rise several degrees Celsius.
Havi's condition like that lasted quite a long time and was also understandable. But not for Havi, because today is her 17th birthday. On his birthday, both of his parents left forever.
After his crying had subsided a bit, one of the police officers, assisted by Mr. Sugi, approached Havi and then told him the chronology of the events experienced by his parents. Havi, who heard it, cried again at that moment.
Long story short, after both parents were buried, Havi, who felt devastated by his situation, chose to take a walk outside the house just to entertain himself, who was still in a sad state.
It turns out that Havi's decision to take a walk while he was sad was the wrong decision. Because this is where Havi's depraved actions began.
Havi saw two of his peers who were known as bullies in the neighborhood where he lived, walking towards him. They were both named Rofik and Teguh.
At first, Havi tried to avoid them both. But because Rofik and Teguh continued to approach and seemed sincere in expressing their condolences for the death of Havi's parents, Havi slowly softened.
With all the gentle remarks from Rofik and Teguh, Havi really thought that the two people who were actually famous for being the young man who was labeled as having no future were really his true friends.
So at that moment, without thinking any further, and also given the circumstances at that time, Havi decides to be friends with Rofik and Teguh. Havi even immediately considered them both as his best friends.
But without Havi's knowledge at that time, Rofik and Teguh were just smiling at each other. What they both think now is that they now have a new 'member' to carry out their criminal acts.
