ALKISAH: Prayer for the World [1001 Indonesian Fantasy Stories]
STORY: Magical

“If you ask me, which is more terrible between humans and the subtle creatures? Well the answer is for sure, right? If the most terrible it is, man.”

Jarwo slapped the creepy-faced, tall and long-haired ugly creature so strongly that it was thrown into the wall fence like it had been hit by a truck.

Well, Jarwo also actually did not want to do it, but the problem is, the supernatural creature has too often disturbed Jarwo every time he passed on this road, and it is very annoying.

“Fuck man!”

However, Jarwo did not stop there. The young man in high school uniform shot back very quickly to the creature that was still attached to the wall, then strangled his neck without hesitation and compassion.

“Ugh! What the fuck! Let go of me mad man!”

“Can be silent anyway, fucking demit.“ Jarwo said in an ice-cold voice. “It's been a week... a week!” He emphasized in a threatening tone. “But you still bother me every time I go through here. You want what to try? You know I can see you, but you're still acting. You asked to be tortured?”

“A-I don't mean to be mean! I'm just a doang prank! So let go of your hand! Pain woy!” The creature tried to escape from Jarwo's grip, but his efforts were in vain. Jarwo did not budge at all.

However, after pondering for a while, Jarwo finally sighed deeply and decided to let go of the ugly one.

“Eh?”

“Better you go aja deh.” Jarwo said as he walked away. “I'm tired, hungry, dizzy again. And because of you, my head is getting sick like this.”

“Te-thank you, Sir! I swear I won't bother you again from now on! And you-if you can, I will also be your servant!” The creature's.

“Heh... You want to be my servant huh?” Jarwo's steps stopped. “By the hell, but what's your name? You see I don't like to be friends with a demon who doesn't remember his own name.”

“Yeah, just call me Aska.” Said.

“Hmm... All right, you can come along, Aska, but please don't call me that weird name. Just call me Jarwo or Bos.”

“Ready, Boss.” Aska answered while following Jarwo from behind. “Free before, I have one question.”

“Hmm? What?”

“Why don't the Boss fight back those bad boys who bother often?”

The short question immediately returned to make Jarwo stop stepping. He sank into silence. The memory of the children whom Aska touched immediately flashed in his mind.

“I mean, the boss is really strong. Even this Boss is not the same as the other Indigos. The time of stupid kids like that, Boss can not servei.”

However, Jarwo now felt a bit upset after Aska alluded to it.

“Yah... because the man is very strange... and evil.“.

Jarwo continued on his way out of the small path, while Aska followed behind. When the two of them reached a very crowded sidewalk, Jarwo noticed that there were so many strange creatures like Aska wandering everywhere. They are near humans, in the sky, and their numbers are also not inferior to humans.

“I can't reply them, because they are only human.”

“Ah... sorry, but I don't understand Bos.” at all

Jarwo laughed softly after seeing Aska's expression that looked very confused.

“Yes, of course. I can't explain it right either. But the point is, I actually really, really hate what's called man. And lately, that hatred... is getting bigger.” Jarwo narrowed his eyes, as if enduring pain.

“Hah... ?”

“Sunday ago, one of my best friends burned to death because he was trying to save his stupid girlfriend. And three days ago, another friend of mine just disappeared like it was swallowed by the earth. Then, they both have mothers who are both also very sick and dying in the hospital.”

Jarwo suddenly bit his lips and clenched his jaw tightly. His eyes radiated deep anger and sadness. His face also turned out to be very scary compared to before. What a painful dark feeling.

“Wah? Is that right, boss? How could it be? pity them so much.” Aska said sincerely. “There is no family or neighbors who can help?

“Well that's how people are, they're sinners who only care about themselves, and are very passionate about creating destruction... Human jerk, fool, motherfucker, ****, stupid, useless, trash!” The people around were a little surprised when they heard Jarwo's emotional snapping, but they only ignored him.

“E-eh! Relax boss! Relax!”

“Hah. It's okay if they both give up, especially if they're girls. After all, they had already admitted that they were no longer strong in facing this life. In fact.. I am actually grateful, because they have rested quietly now.”

“So... how about the Boss?” Ask Aska timidly.

“Hoh... I will not waste my breath. There must be a reason why God gave me eyes to see the two worlds, so I will make the best use of this blessing. And most importantly, yesterday I also got a remittance of a billion from nobody, so, now I should be able to get ready.” Jarwo looked up at the dark sky, and found the figure of a giant scaly black snake. “Soalya, if I also give up, who dong will take care of their parents both? It's clear that it's now my responsibility.”

“Mantap Boss! Always thinking positive, right?”

“Yah's... You just calm down. I will use these eyes.I will actually use them to go deeper into the magic... I will tear away the reality of this wicked world and man. Just hang. Someday. Sure.“
