Tragedy

"What is this ?" asked the young female doctor who was the UKS administrator.

"My eyes hurt, my eyes are bleeding, help!" Melisa shouted hysterically.

"Blood ? Where ?" Kevin asked while looking at Melisa's face.

"Don't you see? My eyes hurt Kevin!" Melisa cried, her face and whole body red from the pain.

Everyone was confused by him. It made people think that Melisa's soul was shaken, Kevin hugged her, not knowing what to do. She was increasingly confused by the strange events that Melisa continued to experience from 10 years ago until now. Feelings of guilt now continue to surround Kevin's heart.

***

Two weeks have passed, but Melisa's condition is getting worse, she continues to be silent and pensive. Everyone thought this must have something to do with the events he experienced, the severe trauma he experienced after the massacre which made him almost become a victim. Melisa's mother became increasingly sad, she did not expect her daughter to experience something as bad as this in her life. Especially since they returned to Milford.

"Auntie, how is Melissa?" asked Heriet, who had just arrived with Kevin.

“He kept quiet, didn't want to talk. Her face was pale and her tears were always flowing. Auntie is confused about what to do?" said the woman while crying.

"Maybe he's traumatized by the bad incident he just experienced?"

"I don't know, since returning to this place we seem to have brought our daughter under a curse again. Auntie thought it would be better if we took Melisa away from this place and never come back again!"

“Wh…why is that? what's wrong? Wasn't Melisa born and raised here?" Heriet didn't accept it, he didn't want Melisa to leave again.

“Since that incident, it was as if the child had seen the devil. For 3 days his eyes were open without closing at all."

Kevin and Heriet were silent, they were confused and didn't understand what the woman in front of them was talking about.

"Ma...what do you mean?" Kevin asked.

“The incident 10 years ago, which will forever be a big curse for that child. Many times we asked what happened? but he didn't answer, his mouth was closed and every night he screamed like he was having a very bad dream."

"What do you mean, Aunt Melisa?"

"Yes Kevin, and Auntie is sure you remember it? and maybe only you know what he experienced at that time."

Kevin was silent, he tried to remember but nothing came up. What happened to them? Are they involved in a major event?

"Auntie... may I meet Melisa?" Kevin asked.

“Yeah… he's in his room.”

Kevin walked quickly, his heart beating fast. Kevin opened the door to Melisa's room, the girl was as quiet as a doll. His hands were gripping something tightly, with his lips dry and pale, a single word came out of his mouth which had been tightly closed for almost 2 weeks.

“Jack…”

It was like a big lightning bolt struck Kevin's mind, now he understood what really happened. Even though he doesn't know exactly what it is, Kevin is trying to uncover a mystery that has not been solved so far.

"Are you sure you want to go to Jack's house? Don't you not like him?" Heriet asked.

"But this is important, besides I never said I didn't like him."

"You never said it, but your attitude shows as if you hate him."

“I don't know... I don't understand it myself, even though when I was little I was his neighbor. We were very close, always together with him and his dead cousin Jimmy everywhere. We used to always play in the garden behind Uncle Silvester's house.”

"Why did you move?"

"Mother was scared, she said that since the tragic murder in the house, my mother and sister often saw the ghost of a woman whose body was burned, sometimes they saw a little girl tapping on the window of the house. The food in our house also suddenly ran out as if someone had eaten it even though when asked, none of us had eaten. "Anyway, there were so many strange and scary incidents that my parents decided to move house even though they were still in this city."

"Then why are you staying away from Jack now?"

“I don't know, my feeling is that he's not the old Jack. Maybe I'm bad for staying away from him, it's just... sometimes I feel afraid if I run into him."

“Poor Jack.”

"Why ?"

“Maybe the trauma won't heal because no one understands and comforts him. Maybe Melisa realized that Jack was very lonely so she kept accompanying Jack."

“Maybe...but Melisa is very innocent and careless, she always acts first without thinking first. That's what worries me." Kevin looked sad, his expression changed suddenly.

"Kevin?"

"Yes ?"

"May I ask you something ? But please be honest with me this time!"

"Okay, what do you want to ask?"

"Kevin, do you love Melisakan?" Heriet asked. Heriet continued to look at Kevin sadly. They were standing right in front of the fence of Louis Voiton's family house.

"You're right, I love Lisa."

"I already guessed."

“I also thought you would ask, but my feelings don't matter. Because currently the only person who can cure Melisa is Jack."
