Bert is walking in the street with confusion. He can't tell why it feels like he's not visible to everyone. Someone tried to bump him and he just avoided it.

"Something is not right," in his thoughts.

"Ron---" he called his classmate walking ahead from him. 

Ron didn't hear him and continued walking. Bert ran towards Ron because he thought he may not hear him. When he reached Ron he tapped it. 

"Just because you have a girlfriend you are now deaf." Joking Words from Ron

Still, Ron seems didn't hear or see him. He's wondering what's happening to his friend. He blocked his path and he threw himself because Ron bumped him. 

"It's weird, really weird." Talking himself. 

"I'm not a ghost either since I can touch them. I even fell to the ground because he bumped me." He continued talking to himself as he sighs.

He arrived inside the classroom. Again, no one seems to see him because no one greeted him. He is looking around due to confusion and he stopped when he saw Kesha. He saw his crush and always beautiful in his eyes. He is staring at her and he stuns himself. Kesha is not that pretty but because of her smile and being a bossy woman. Bert loves her very much. 

"Wait--are you dreaming of her again?" He said to himself as he shook his head. He just smiled and continued watching her. 

He was thinking to pull something crazy. He waved his hand in the face of Kesha's seatmate. He was just checking if no one really can see him. When he was sure of it he walked towards near to Kesha. Not just beside her but he even faces Kesha so nearly. Perhaps it's 1 thumb far apart from his face from Kesha's face. He looks very happy staring closely at Kesha. 

"Just being crazy," he said to himself while covering his face not to laugh harder.

He is so happy with what he's been doing. He even forgot that he was worried earlier because no one can see him. The class was over and the students decided to go home. He's accompanying Kesha in walking home. Since no one can see him he is so confident to walk with her. He is so happy with what he's doing. The smile on his face didn't leave him because of that feeling he's walking alone with Kesha. Sometimes he even closes his face to Kesha like he is kissing her. 

"Wait, stop this. This is cheating." He said to himself while continued laughing.

When they continued walking he's wondering why Kesha's walking on a different path. Bert knows that this is not the way to go in Kesha's house. He can't tell but he suddenly feels uneasy. He feels sorry for Kesha because Bert knows this way is going to the cemetery. He feels sad for her because he knows that only her mother is her family. 

"What will happen to Kesha now that her mother was gone?" Saddened words from Bert to Kesha. It's obvious that he's worried about her.

They are inside the cemetery when Kesha suddenly kneels down in someone's grave. Bert can't see a name whose grave is that because of Kesha's hands covering it. He's just watching Kesha crying so much pain. He can feel the agony Kesha is feeling. The deep of her sobbing is enough to convince Bert that someone so special to her just died. 

"Without a doubt that is Kesha's mother's grave." He said to himself.

Bert is desperate to see who is that grave because Kesha doesn't say a name while crying. He only said,

"SORRY, I'M SO SORRY. I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME!"

He pitties her so much because the smiling face she had is being replaced with tears and agony. Her face is being covered with nonstop tears. All of a sudden the run started to fall slowly. Since Kesha can't see Bert. Bert is wiping the tears of Kesha. Bert is desperate to make Kesha smile. For most of it, he wanted to be seen by Kesha so he can do something how Kesha will stop crying. She is mad at himself because he can't do anything. 

"I want her to see me. What's wrong with me why no one sees me?" Desperate words from Bert.

He shouted and suddenly a sound thunderclap and lightning appear. The sky is attempting to rain heavily. Slowly, Kesha stood up to get her umbrella in her bag not that far from the grave. When Kesha stood up Bert took a glimpse on that grave. A depressing feeling inside his chest. He stuns himself while his eyes got bigger. He can't believe what he is just seeing. He suddenly feels weaker as he kneels down to the ground. Sound a thunderclap so strong together with the heavy rainfall. 

"SO IT'S ME. IT'S ME FROM THE BEGINNING WHY KESHA IS CRYING. I'M DEAD, I'M REALLY DEAD BUT HOW OR WHEN?"

He confusedly asked himself and understood things. It was just his imagination that he could touch things. 

"What will happen to me now? I'm still young and want to enjoy life more. How can I be with the woman I love when I'm no longer alive? My mother and father for sure they're crying so much. What have I done?"

Bert cries desperately because he still can't believe that this is really happening. Bert doesn't understand what to do. He just cries and cries and what will it be now. He still wants to live in this world. He still can't remember anything until when Kesha suddenly placed a bill from the hospital into his grave. 

"Thank you very much, Bert. My mother is fine now because we paid the bills in the hospital. I'm sorry if you were the one who was being caught by that drug traffickers next to your house when I stole their money. I'm really sorry, Bert." Kesha continues crying.

After he heard what Kesha said he remembers everything now. He took off Kesha's hood and wore it. Soon After Kesha said to Bert her reasons. He understood it and let himself ran to let Kesha escape. Unfortunately, he was being caught and searched for the money. When Bert didn't tell anything he was killed. 

After remembering what happened he feels easiness. He feels lighter compared to before. He understood why he did it. He accepted his faith and he slowly walking towards Kesha. All of a sudden Kesha sees Bert. She is not afraid because she's longing for him. 

"Bert?---"

Bert just smiles and hugs Kesha tightly and said.

"Stop crying now. I will not stay long so let me hug you for the first and the last time." 

Bert is fading and Kesha can't believe what just happened. When Bert is gone Kesha continues crying. Even though it gives her so much pain he just accepted that Bert is already dead.
