Rara looked at mami worriedly. Mami still silently lowered her head and looked at the memo from Wulan she held. His face looks so sad.

"Mom....."

"Ndak pa pa pa.." said Mami lirih but Rara can catch there shakes in her voice.

An annoyance rippled in Rara's heart. He did not think how Suryo and Wulan could do reckless just to celebrate their birthdays. Indeed, every time the birthday of Suryo and Wulan before him, the surprise party given Aldi is always festive. Many friends are present, and they play a variety of exciting games, Aldi has also prepared a variety of luxurious gifts for the prizes of these games. The food provided is not asked, luxurious and delicious all.

He also always heard the complaints and grievances of Suryo and Wulan every birthday they arrived. Where the birthday celebration held by their families is so simple and instead they are required to set aside money to donate to an orphanage or nursing home.

Yaaaa..indeed there is no fun anyway especially compared to the party held Aldi. Jauuuuh. Maybe like east from west away....

Mami stood up suddenly making Rara wake up from her daydream. Then Mami rushed to her room.

"Ra try to call Wulan or Suryo again, Mami will try to call papi."

"Yes." Yeah."

Try again to contact Wulan and Suryo.

Fail.

No one took his call.

"Fuck, Mi. How's papi?"

"It's Papi, Yeye and Nainai also can't be reached."

"Ehhhh.....? They can't be contacted either?"

"It isoooo..ra iso!"mami replied in despair."Wait here."

Once again Mami went into her room and this time came out carrying a large bag.

"Come Ra. Bring sheba and milly."

Rara hurriedly called out to sheba and milly. The two dogs had just finished eating and were playing in the backyard of their small home unlike their former home. When he returns he sees Mami trying to contact someone through her alchemy, but...

Denied access.....

Many times Mama tried.

Denied access..... Denied access....

The same answer.

"Ndak bisaaa......"

"Call who, Mi?"

"Mommy tried to call TLC headquarters, but couldn't."

"Kook?"

"We've been in a relationship with them for years. His password must have changed as well. There's a fingerprint scan, too, that can read whether you're a member or not."

"But are our alkomes from them?"

"Not...Our alchemy is from Aunt Yesha."

"Bright.....Aunt Yesha is not the warrior of light?"

"There's no time to explain." interrupted Mami Iqlu walking hurriedly towards the garage.

There are two cars there. Both are new and Rara has never seen them. On the right side of the door that connects the garage and the living room there is a light panel and another panel that Rara just realized was there.

Mom opened the panel. Picked a few buttons and put his palm. It scanned Mami's palm.

Grreeeeeeek...kz....gredeeekkk....

Rara jumped in shock. The two cars slowly climbed up and up the floor. There was no rope or pole to lift it.

"Magnetic" said Mami smilingly looking at the gawking Rara. "Don't forget your papa is a good technopath. What you want and imagine he can make that happen."

Rara looked at Mami in admiration. Mama thought of this concept? Woaows......

Under the raised floor there was another floor and above it was another car. This car is different from the two cars on it.

Well.....

Even this car is different from all the cars Rara has ever seen. The car is gray tones tend to be black and not shiny. The box in the middle and flashing on the front and back. The glass was dark and thick, Rara could not see the inside.

"introduce.....Eleanor."

"El. eleanor? This car's got a name?"

Mami chuckles. "Yes named after the car in Papi and Mami's favorite movie when dating first."

Rara. Never thought of by him Papi Mami had also been young and dating.

"The car in the movie is like this?"

"Ooooh is definitely different! In the movie it was ford shelby. Our car is different...Uhm let's go in instead of long time.e."

Mami put her hand on the car door and backed off.

"Open.en lawang e!"

The car door was open. But instead of opening to the side, the doors opened upwards. It is shaped like a canopy on both sides. There are only two doors on his left and right side. But both are wide so open from the driver and front passenger side until the middle seat is visible, only the rear seat is not visible.

Rara gawked at her Mama.

Mami returned her gaze and simply flicked her shoulders with a smile.

"Uhmmm.gimana yes if the command using English is too mainstream. So Mami decided on all voice commands using Javanese everyday" he said as he stepped in and sat behind the wheel.

Sheba and Milly jumped straight into the middle and jumped over the back of the chair and sat sweetly in the back seat, leaving Rara shocked again.

"They're really cool dogs. Just yesterday your papi trained them, only to repeat five times can immediately. Let's get Ra in here. Even ndlongop wae!(just gawking!)"

Rara rushed in and sat in the passenger seat next to the driver.

"Close the lawang e."

"Safety belt!"

Not until Rara asked where the seatbelt, from the seat has slid two seatbelt that intersect and lock itself into the chairs again. Rara looked back and saw that sheba and Milly were locked with a seatbelt connected to their harness.

Woaows....

My mother smiled proudly.

"Yok died!"

The car lifted half a meter off the ground without a sound. Then Mommy pressed a button. The garage door in front of them opened just like the eleanor of their car, the garage door was also opened by way of clipping up to then interested in going inside.

Once the garage door had fully opened, the eleanor immediately shot out and stopped five meters from the ground.

HIYAAAA......

Once again Rara gawked, crazy is indeed the totality of Mami. Eleanor even spoke Javanese.

"Maaslut."

The car was also moving at high speed. Mom pressed a button.

"Start nyamar."

"Alamat e vila Aldi tau Ra?"

"Ga tau, Mi. Just know where it is later if you look."

"OK.oke walk first, bye."

"This is what I mean?"

"Oh this is camouflage. So the guy downstairs or the other car that's breathing ain't gonna see the eleanor either."

Rara wanted to ask further how it could be so. But his eyes fell on his house.

He rubbed his eyes. Didn't he see wrong. It was like seeing a thin veil resembling the fog that surrounded their house.

"Force field to protect our house" Mami said before Rara could ask.

"Eh..."

"Everything will be learned when Rara starts school" said Mami softly.

Rara fell silent, her house was nowhere to be seen. Eleanor was speeding up. Not ten minutes, they had already reached the foot of Mount Lawu.

Wulan looked back again. He felt someone was following him. He had seen people teasing him repeatedly at the stall, but since they were at the cable car station he had not seen the man again.

Maybe he was too paranoid.

Huuuft .....exhales breath with relief. It's been a mess since the day Suryo tried his bike.

It is strange how things can change in such a short time.

The cable car moved slowly. Makes Wulan more agitated and impatient

"Yo..opo mending dewe bali mulih wae?" (would it be better to just go home?"

"Well..gendeng yo kowe! Wes press kene meh bali! " (Well...crazy are you! I got here and said I wanted to come back!)

"Ora ngono .but my koq feeling is not good!"

"Cih.... ngertio want ra legit melu!" (Cih ... know that before do not need to come!)

Wulan bit her lips withstanding the rebuttal that was almost thrown. Suryo is right this is already under responsibility.

He restrained himself and remained silent until the cable car reached the summit station.

Slender...

There were only three other people besides them. But the person who was teasing him wasn't one of them.

Wulan was relieved. Maybe he was just too paranoid. He quickly followed Suryo out of the station.

Outside the station, he saw Aldi waiting for them, waving his hands enthusiastically. Suryo accelerated his steps and greeted Aldi by clenching his fists, Aldi replied by clenching his fists and touching them to Suryo's fist and then doing a round movement with his hands until finally his hands and Suryo's hands clasped each other.

Greetings from the two of them since they were in elementary school.

Wulan smiled, Aldi returned his smile by nodding his head slightly.

Uh.....

Strange koq....

Usually Aldi will immediately nyerocos and try to attract the attention of Wulan even more.

"Yeah!" aldi said as he turned his body.

Wulan shook her head, trying to remove negative thoughts from her head.

Suryo had walked ahead, side by side with Aldi and began to talk quickly to Aldi why they had to move, where there was a fire in their old house, without any mention of talent or TLC.

Aldi just nodded his head. Not once did he look back to invite Wulan to speak. Not like Aldi.

Aldi who used to choose to walk beside Wulan while trying to invite Wulan to speak, sometimes acting silly just to attract the attention of Wulan.

Ah .... maybe in the end Aldi realized, Wulan was not interested in him at all. But after all there was a bad taste in Wulan's heart.

The night breeze blew, no doubt cold as well as fortunately Wulan and Suryo had worn a sweater.

Ugh...why is there such a fishy smell huh?

Wulan sniffed again, the fishy smell was still there but faintly.

He accelerates his pace, and aligns with Suryo. Aldi's villa is behind the station. Close enough so that walking is enough.

Along the way from the station to the villa , Wulan felt Aldi was a bit strange his way. It doesn't go straight but zig zag it. So that he who followed from behind was a bit confused. About ten minutes of time they needed to walk from the station all the way to the front gate of the villa.

The Aldi family was a wealthy sultan. So the villa is super big with a super wide page as well. This private villa consists of three buildings. One main building where there are all entertainment facilities such as gaming room, kitchen, gym, bilyard table, ping pong table, library and two bedrooms. The other two smaller buildings contain two bedrooms, a sitting room and a kitchenette.

Since childhood, Suryo, Wulan and Rara often stay here with Aldi's extended family. Aldi himself was an only child but his father and mother had many siblings so his cousins were numerous. Every time there is a family gathering, Suryo is always invited. Wulan and Rara only occasionally come along. Because Wulan does not like Aldi's cousins because he thinks Aldi's cousin who is a restless guy and who is a coquettish girl.

"Well in!" aldi's words suddenly scattered Wulan from his reverie. "Must be super shocked by my surprise" he continued with a smile.

Suryo laughed and wrapped his hands around Aldi. But Aldi dodged it, leaving Suryo shocked and a little rowdy.

Wulan noticed it all, pulled Suryo.

"Yo, iki koq rodo is weird.."(.Yo, this koq is kind of weird.).

Suryo pulled his hand from Wulan's hand. But from his face Wulan can see that Suryo also felt the strangeness of Aldi. Understandably he has known Aldi, his friend since they were still from kindergarten. So Aldi's behavior, Suryo has a right.

But despite the hesitation Suryo still followed Aldi stepping into the villa yard through the gate. Wulan did not want to miss himself outside, quickly stepped in.

The five steps behind him closed quickly. It gave off a loud thumping sound that made Wulan jump in shock.

It's pitch-dark.

Not a single lamp was lit. Indeed, Aldi is preparing a surprise, but at least the lights on the fence and the gate can be turned on.

"Surpriseeeed!!!"

From inside the house, opening the door, Wulan sees the same figure who killed Mr. Minus.

Derrick grinned widely, approaching them slowly.
