MERCIA
28. Awkward Hotel Atmosphere.
"is there no other room?" ask Aruna to the woman who works as a receptionist.
"Sorry miss, it just so happens that today many guests from out of town are staying, only one room remains"
"What did they come to this town for? not as usual." Ask August.
"sorry sir maybe they're just on vacation, or fulfilling the invitation of the city's higher-ups?" answer the woman.
"what show?" ask August.
"his second son's birthday party Mr. Longstaff." replied the woman.
"we're good to get that room" August said.
"wait a minute why don't we find another hotel?" ask Aruna.
"it's the fifth hotel, and it's almost twelve o'clock I'm tired" August said.
"didn't you have a full year's rest" Aruna said.
"i'll sleep on the couch" August said.
"alongside" said Aruna.
The receptionist opened her mouth like she wanted to say something, but she undoed her intentions.
August just sighed. he thought why this cold woman was getting annoying.August unconsciously remembered Julia, he missed how annoying Julia, with all her intimidation, he said, her jealousy and behind her silly nature Julia always comforted her.
Aruna saw those tears.
"You're flickering?" ask Aruna.
"yes" replied August.
They boarded the elevator and then came out on the fifth floor, August handed Aruna the room key, he pulled out his phone typing a message. he was startled by Aruna's scream when he opened the door.
"Huh..!"
August suddenly saw Aruna silent fixated in front of the room door.
"Aruna what happened?" ask August.
Aruna just silently pointed into the room. August runs towards Aruna, watching the room, but August finds nothing.
Aruna was still silent. August shakes Aruna's shoulder.
"Aruna realized what you saw" August said.
Aruna looked at "none.."
"then why are you yelling?" ask August.
"no sofa.. Where is the sofa? ask Aruna.
August was screaming. "Huh..!"
In the hotel room there is only a bed that is not too big size, glass cabinets and bathrooms.
(this is a hotel room what a boarding house)
"There's no couch. Then where do you sleep? ask Aruna.
"where else, there's no need to worry that I won't do anything" August said.
they were both already on the bed, but none of them could fall asleep, feeling very awkward.they had changed their sleeping positions many times but it was still difficult to close their eyes. until one moment their positions face to face with each other.
"You haven't slept?" ask August.
"i can't sleep" replied Aruna.
"maybe we can do something that can put us to sleep?" August says.
"do you know what I'm thinking right now?" ask August.
"i don't want to know" replied Aruna, her face slightly reddened.
"we practice, don't you promise to teach me?" ask August.
"Good" said Aruna.
August and Aruna sat on the floor of the hotel room facing each other with their legs crossed.
"what am I supposed to do?" ask August.
"you just need to concentrate your power on one last point.."
"i understand" August cut.
"what? I'm not done talking how do you understand?" aruna said a little annoyed.
"The shield told me." said August.
"How do you talk to an object?" ask Aruna wonder.
"through my subconscious, before that crystal also spoke to me in the same way."
"even when I borrowed your spear he spoke to me" August said.
"REally..?" Aruna was doubtful.
"You haven't treated him right" August said.
"the power of the spear is so great that you only use five percent of its power during this time" August said.
"ba... only five percent?" Aruna.
"i can help you but you have to trust me" August said.
"i believe it" said Aruna.
"but it's gonna hurt a lot, the longer you can hold it the better for you, are you ready?
"i'm ready" said Aruna.
"now lie down." August's plea.
Aruna laid herself on the floor of the room. August snapped his finger, and then a transparent dome appeared protecting them.
"what's that?" ask Aruna.
"so that others will not hear your screams, and misunderstand what we will be doing now"
"clamp your eyes, if you can't touch my hands first and open your eyes, you know?" August says.
Aruna nodded and closed his eyes, August's palm gave off a golden white light, he then pressed against the body in the middle of Aruna's chest.The energy that August exerted entered Aruna's body. Aruna felt excruciating pain, his body was like being hit by a knife many times and also doused in hot oil, Aruna still continued to endure, her hands clenched firmly sounding clasping her teeth, her tears were already flowing profusely, her eyes were already flowing, until he is no longer strong and then beckons August to touch his hand.
When Aruna touches his hand, August raises his left hand to prevent Aruna from opening. Aruna who realized August did not let go started screaming and thrashing, he wanted to kick August, August more alert, he sat on Aruna's thigh and flanked him with both legs. aruna's hand that tried to hit August began to weakly droop, August stopped the action after knowing Aruna was unconscious.
A thin mist enveloped Aruna's body. August lifted and moved him to bed. The sweat soaked August's clothes felt uncomfortable he took off his clothes and trousers, leaving only shorts, feeling very tired August was asleep next to Aruna.
Morning has arrived.
Aruna slowly opened his eyes, his head felt heavy he saw on his left August asleep only with shorts suddenly remembered last night, he immediately jumped from the bed his right hand was holding a spear. not yet exhausted his shock, Aruna was shocked with himself now.he floated on the bed, he saw his spear was like different, he felt the energy of the spear and himself fused. Aruna was very happy.Suddenly he checked the most important part of his body.he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shortly afterwards there was a knock at the door.
Tok..
"who?" ask Aruna.
"Maira"
Aruna opened the door and saw Aira and Hedya carrying something.
"Where do you know I'm here?" ask Aruna.
"August asked me to come here with Hedya, bring clothes for you, Hedya also bought breakfast for us" Aira said and walked in followed by hedya.
"give me that food I'm hungry" said Aruna.
Aira and Hedya were silent and did not care about Aruna.they saw August was fast asleep using only shorts.
"why do you see me like that?" ask Aruna wonder.
"How did it feel the first time?" ask Aira.
"what do you mean?" ask Aruna.
"you did it how many times?" Hedya asked.
"do what? ask Aruna.
"have you guys done that before?" ask Aira.
"why are you asking such a strange question" said Aruna, then she saw August.
"wait.., do you guys think I'm..."
Aira and Hedya nodded simultaneously.
"no. No. I didn't do it." Aruna is wrong.
Aira and Hedya exchanged lyrics and said at the same time.
"we don't believe."
"whatever you have to give me that food" Aruna took a portion of the food Hedya bought.
Aira and Hedya also took his rations. now only one portion left for August.The three of them sat on the edge of the bed, facing the body of August who was still asleep. no one woke up August, they just ate without talking while looking at August.
August, whose energy had recovered, began to feel the presence of some people around him.he opened his eyes, looking three beautiful women in the middle of breakfast staring at him.
"You're so mean you didn't wake me up for breakfast together" August said.
Aruna, Aira and Hedya did not respond to August's remarks. They chew their food while focusing on something. August was surprised to see the behavior of the three of them. he noticed the three women one by one. Their gazes were like directed to the legs of himself. August also looked at his feet.Contact August's face reddened, he saw his antique jack in the position on. he took a pillow and covered his workshop equipment.
The three women finally woke up from her daydream.
"I took a shower" said Aruna.
"We bought you breakfast, I'll take it" Aira said.
"Uhuk uhuk. I take a drink first" said Hedya.
August just shook his head.he woke up to receive the food that Aira gave him.
Ten minutes later Aruna came out of the bathroom.
"Why did you bring me clothes like this?"
suddenly all looked at Aruna.he was wearing a small outfit belonging to Aira, his clothes were thin white that could not cover his stomach, he also used a black mini skirt. looks smooth white feet hers that make August pounding pounding pounding.now the three women turned to look at August who was still glued with eyes unblinking.seen his antique jack moving up and down.
