Jin Handsome Residents Canai
Chapter 2

  After breakfast, Aliza and Sania are ready to be escorted by Grandpa Latua to the Canai forest. As the caretaker, Grandpa Latua had warned the two guests not to violate restrictions during their time in the Canai forest. In the courtyard, there was already Grandma Satia waiting for them. The elderly woman held an incense that smelled of brown sugar to provide safety to Aliza and Sania.

“May you come back safe,” he said as he shook the smoke on the faces of the two beauties.

On the way to the forest, Grandfather Latua was endlessly glancing towards their right, Aliza who had high sensitivity knew that there was something strange on their way.

“I can talk to you for a minute, Cake?” her door.

“What's up?” ask Grandpa Latua.

For a moment Aliza brought Grandpa Latua over near the tree, she did not want her conversation heard by Sania. He knew very well, Sania was originally a coward.

“Night I saw a handsome man not far from the inn, Kek.”

The instant Grandpa Latua's face changed, he glanced to his right, like looking for a figure who had been following them.

“Maybe it's just your feelings, son. You better be quiet if you see it, do not tell anyone, including your friend,”, said Grandpa Latua reminded.

Aliza felt that she had found a mystical omen behind Grandpa Latua's sentence. He believed that the figure he saw was already known by Grandpa Latua, but he did not want to say clearly.

They continued their journey into the forest, not far from the oldest big tree in the Canai forest, there was a gate that kept many mystery stories behind it.

“This is the central archway of Canai Forest, here where the elders used to do traditional ceremonies,” said Grandpa Latua.

Aliza started shooting at every corner of the archway, while Sania recorded Grandpa Latua's voice telling the story.

“This gate since when it stood, Cake?” ask Sania.

“Before Majapahit kingdom, royal people often come to visit when our elders hold customary ceremony,” Grandpa Latua replied.

 But Aliza felt like someone was watching. The feathers goosebumps and the air around it becomes cold. Aliza was sure, this was a sign that the inhabitants of the gate were welcoming their arrival.

Aliza was ceaselessly photographing, in the right corner, there was another cold wind that was blowing slowly. Aliza hurried to move near Grandpa Latua and Sania.

“Why, Al?” ask Sania.

“No, Just curious about Grandpa,” said.

Aliza then chose again to photograph the darkest part of the forest, while Grandpa Latua and Sania were still near the gate. Grandfather Latua was performing a ritual of homage to the occupants of the gate. Aliza who did not realize herself had walked far enough away from the gate. The voice that called out Aliza's name seemed to hypnotize her following the source of the voice.

The beautiful girl did not realize she was already in the middle of the Canai forest. It was so dark with the sounds of birds chirping as to warn Aliza to come home soon. Aliza remained following the source of the voice that called out to her, until she finally found two glowing pillars. The light of the pillar wanted to suck Aliza's body into it, but suddenly there was a man who pulled Aliza and took her away.

Aliza's body seemed to be carried flying by the burly man. Her tiny body was tightly hugged so she wouldn't fall while at high altitude. It seemed that the man was avoiding the inhabitants of the pillar who wanted to trap Aliza.

“Ahhhh .. thankfully,” said the man who was already relieved for saving Aliza.

Aliza who was still closing her eyes was so afraid to see the figure of the man who carried her.

“Open your eyes,” said the man.

“Who are you?” tanya Aliza shakes.

“Garret,” replied the man. He turned his face away from Aliza.

“Let me go,” pinta Aliza.

“You want me to let go? Sure?”

Garret glanced down, Aliza also took a glance down, Aliza widened her eyes, apparently at that time Garret took her sitting on a very high tree. Aliza who was afraid of heights immediately hugged Garret's body tightly.

“Why can we be here?” ask Aliza in fear.

“You were almost in the suction of the Canai pillar, if you enter the Canai palace, you can be sure you will not be able to return to your world,” explained Garret.

“Then who are you? You demons? Jin or genderuwo?” ask Aliza in fear. He took his arms off Garret. Afraid that the figure is genderuwo who wants to kidnap him.

“I am not an evil creature like genderuwo that you fear, I am part of the creatures of the Canai forest, used to be human just like you”, said Garret.

“Then? That is, you ..” Aliza. He's getting freaked out.

Garret's eyeballs glanced downwards, she was watching the state around them, it seemed like the other forest dwellers were wandering around feeling disturbed. The human presence to them was the thing that bothered them the most. Moreover, there are those who take pictures without performing the ritual of permission.

“Si Grandpa did not tell you, in this forest can not take pictures before performing the ritual?” tell Garret.

Aliza didn't get such wishes from Grandpa Latua. They just can't rebuke something that looks awkward.

“Ah, maybe he forgot, his name is old,” said Aliza who knows the state of Grandpa Latua is senile.

Garret still holds Aliza's body. He is still monitoring the situation from above. While Aliza was frightened because she was already in the events that are often used as mystical stories by people who visit Kunan Village, now she feels there is in the Canai forest with its residents. Whether at that time his life was threatened or not, Aliza just resigned.

“Don't be afraid, I'm not as bad as you think, I just pity, since yesterday you were followed by nosy villagers,” said Garret.

Aliza still can't trust Garret.

“Please, return me to the inn, I want to go home,” the door.

“Can't yet, you're already in the middle of the forest, and the residents here are still looking for you, we will be caught if we are found,” explained Garret according to reality.

Garret took Aliza again to move on another tree stalk, after finding a fairly safe stalk, Aliza was seated slowly beside him.

“Sit here, do not move much, if you fall, your bones can be separated,” said Garret.

Despite the fear, Aliza glanced for a moment towards the bottom, the tree they were occupying back then was about two hundred meters tall.

“Don't look down if you're scared,” ketus Garret. He was annoyed that Aliza still considered him an evil creature that wanted to take advantage of humans.

Aliza looked over Garret's body, Garret's appearance was no different from her being human. Have the same limbs, with the same skin texture, but Garret skin level is brighter than humans in general.
