Mystery of the Book of the Air
The Forgotten Clues

A very fragrant eucalyptus scent touched my nose, which made me slowly come to my senses from fainting.

"Jina Huaaa.....!!! Hiks hyks, why did you suddenly faint anyway?! Ah I'm scared"

Feni cried while hugging me with unrelenting hospitality.

I have no memory of what happened to me after I fell on the floor. I woke up already in the uks of this library.

When I woke up, Dani wasn't seen around the uks room either, I then asked Feni where Dani was at the moment.

"Fen..., where is Dani?"

"He's still in Jina's library, he's just this eucalyptus oil nitipin, then he's headed back to the bookshelf we were on"

Maybe Dani's looking for something that she thinks is important and should be obtained today, but I'm still wondering what really happened to me just before I fainted.

I then asked Feni about it....,

"Feni.., just before I fainted, as I recall, I shouted something! Did you hear that too?"

"I heard Jina! Just me and Dani when you want to go to your place, you are not there at all, me and Dani revolve around where you sit but we can't see you, but can hear your voice"

"It's really weird, yeah, because I didn't seem to see anyone passing around where I was standing when I shouted, the atmosphere of the room also turned very dark"

Then Feni asked me again

"What are you shouting for? And you're yelling what?"

I was pensive for a moment considering the moment the woman showed her face in front of my face, because really! Maybe no one will be able to survive to see the scary face of the woman.

After regaining consciousness from my daydream, I then answered Feni's question.

"Anu Fen's.... I saw a woman carrying a candle at the end of the bookshelf where I was reading earlier!"

Feni held both my arms and shouted.

"Huh?!!! Don't tell me it's Parakang who's after us?"

"Not Feni, this doesn't seem to be him, because it's not the first time I've met that woman."

I shifted a little closer towards Feni while drinking the drinks she had provided.

"Look, this woman I first saw inside the Jompie forest when I found the Air book that Dani was holding at this time, this woman's arrival was always with a candle in her hand!"

"Who is he, anyway? Does he have anything to do with Sam's disappearance? Or does he have something to do with the things we have today?"

As Feni said that, suddenly in my mind came something!

"I'm not sure if these two are the same! But, when you were performing on stage to dance, I saw one person wearing a black bodo shirt. I originally thought it was your extra choreography but after seeing the woman carrying the candle earlier, it might have something to do with the dancer"

Feni was shocked and said!

"Jina! We don't have any personnel wearing black bodo clothes, we only have six and all of them are wearing green!!"

"I know!.. And also, I saw in the book that I read earlier, that there was a Goddess of Darkness called by the name of Goddess Gayatri. He has the characteristics of wearing black bodo clothes as I saw on stage. But, strangely the woman who carried this candle was wearing a red bodo shirt! This made me doubt that these two people were different people"

After hearing my story, Feni spoke.

"When I read Dani's book, I got a very strong lead to find Sam."

Feni this time was like a very different person, she spoke very softly and calmly. But putting that aside, I then asked about what clues he had obtained.

"What's that clue?"

"The place of ritual worship of Bugis people in ancient times, and also what rituals are done to ask for prayer. He said after doing that, we can ask the guard to show us where the person we're looking for is"

Sounds a little familiar, when I was a child, I have seen a group of people who still adhere to the Bugis belief in the past.

They brought a goat, offerings, and incense to be taken into the Jompie forest, but I never saw the ritual.

After talking about what had happened at that time, and the findings of the two of us from the book we read, we decided to meet with Dani again to the second floor on the shelf 143 books.

When we got there, we saw no sign of Dani's whereabouts,

"Dani's.... Dani's.... Oh Dani's.... You where?"

But on this second floor it seems very rare for people to come to read and the situation when we are here is very quiet even no one is seen in this room.

Me and Feni go around and around looking for Dani to disappear somewhere, and then I think maybe Dani is currently on the wc?.

I told Feni to come with me to check the toilet in the corner of the room,

"Let's see Fen we check wc, who knows Dani is there"

Me and Feni walked towards the wc, but the closer we got to the wc! The dimmer the lighting we get.

Step by step we did, suddenly there was the sound of a falling object on our right. We both spontaneously turned to the source of the sound.

And it turns....!! That's Dani.

"Ah Dani, just be surprised!! We're looking for you! And it turns out you're here"

"Haha... Shocked yah?... Haha"

Dani looks so happy to see us half-dead. Well again Feni again pinch Dani's arm while babbling at length.

"Next time don't do it!! We were shocked again, for some time we have been doing some strange things!!"

"Aw aw's.... Sick Fen! Not anymore"

Dani is indeed a mischievous son, he can also be very brutal if Sam is with him.

I still remember, one time when I was in the tenth grade, they both skipped to the cafeteria behind the school, and they were found out and chased by Mr. Fadil! Hahaha, what a great experience.

Hmmmm.... Again Sam... Okay well let's continue, we should not waste time, I also asked Dani what he had found.

"Well, by the way, you've found a clue about that book?"

Dani then turned around and walked towards where she had read earlier,

"Here you two, follow me!"

Me and Feni also walked behind Dani, when we got there, I saw there were some sheets that one of them contained strange images.

"That's what's Dani's picture?! That's human?"

Feni said with a confused tone mixed with fear

"This is the page I've been looking for so far, it seems to be true, from this picture explains the terror of the past as you tell from the story of Auntie Siti"

I interrupted Dani's conversation

"Wait a minute, the story you mean is also written in the book you've been reading to me"

"He seriously?"

Answer Dani

Feni also added the clues he got from the book he had, he said,

"In addition to the place of prayer and the ritual to do so, I also saw in the book that I read, written the past stories of the kings and queens of the kingdom of Parepare."

Feni took the seat in front of him and continued his explanation,

"So long ago, there was a King and Queen who had a very beautiful daughter, she was much loved by her people. But, at one point! This princess was in a great pain, she vomited a lot of blood from her mouth, and within a week, she died!!"

I asked Feni what he had explained

"Do you know why the princess is sick? I mean at the time what was the disease called?"

Feni answered

"If not wrong, I read that the cause of the princess' disease was due to the curse of Goddess Gayatri"

As I thought, this princess died from the curse of Goddess Gayatri. Feni continued with his explanation,

"The king who was very hurt about the behavior of Goddess Gayatri made him swear that his daughter would avenge him, Rajapun took the spirit of his daughter and tied her to a temple in his kingdom"

I then thought this is the place we should find out where he is, maybe there's a next clue we can find in order to find out where Sam is.
