Mystery of the Book of the Air
Dwarf

...POV: Fen...

*March 24, 2017*

"It's so tired all day studying, where was the extra class again, really on task!!"

Jina answered

"Yes, plus there was an unexpected incident that would happen"

After talking with Jina and Dani about our plan, I went home and wanted to clean my body and slept on my soft bed.

"Hmmm... Will we get another clue tomorrow at the city library?"

I asked Jina

That night I was busy with my fights as well as my head, I kept thinking about things I could do to help this thing easier.

But I remembered, just after I left my extra class, I saw Hani's mother was heading into 11th grade IPA A, and that was my class!!

I followed Hani's mother, because I was wondering what she wanted to do in there!!

(At the same time Jina was in the school library)

I peeked through the window at the very end, I saw Hani's mother looking for something in the classroom. He saw one by one the contents of the drawers of each table in the classroom!!

"Hm.. Hani's mom, how do I like to find something again? Is he looking for the book?"

I wonder about what exactly Hani's mother did, I peeked back into the classroom, but!! Hani's mother seems to have dropped out of class.

I hurriedly ran into the next class, ducking to avoid being seen by Mother Hani, this is when I heard something strange from Mother Hani

"Where is this book!?"

Said Hani's mother in an annoyed tone, I didn't think anything strange until she mentioned about the book.

"The book!! It doesn't seem to be in this class, Jina must have hidden the book"

I was surprised not to play when I heard that, how did Mother Hani find out about the book? I guess he only knew that we were looking for a book on the history of the Bugis tribe, because a few minutes ago!! Jina sent a whatsapp message when she met Hani's mother, Jina also said that Hani's mother knew that we wanted to find history about the Bugis tribe.

Without a second thought I took my phone and told Jina about what I had heard and seen, I just sent a message because it seemed like Mother Hani was still at the end of the hallway, if I call now, he'll hear my voice speak.

I also sent a message to Dani to let her know and be careful!! Since the book was with her, after that, I took my bag and walked slowly towards the opposite direction that Mother Hani had taken.

"Huu.. That's what anjir was!! How can he know about the book, but let's talk about it tomorrow, the important thing is that I've told them both"

I also walked out the fence to my house. Actually my house, Dani, and Jina are all not in the same direction. Jina passes every day through a football field 20 meters from the forest of Jompie, Dani every day through an alley behind the market, which is located in the forest, while I every day have to pass a small path on the edge of the Jompie forest.

I walked while humming a little mappadendang dance accompaniment. It's a little sad, because unfortunately I have to pass this path every day.

But that's okay, because all this time I never got anything weird when I went down this road, but today might be the day that made my mind change!!.

Halfway through, to where, I arrived at the point that gave me chills!! O enormous banyan tree looming beside this path, I was like hearing the sound of footsteps behind that tree!! I was curious and started to approach the source of the voice.

How surprised I was when I saw, it turned out!!! It was Jina.

"Heiii Jina??"

"Astagfirullahalazim, ihh Feni you almost made me hang ahh"

"I'm sorry, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going through the field?? "

"There is a repair Fen, the same field the road is closed, if I want to pass the city far away I turn it so I pass here deh"

"Oh that's it?? Good if that's the case, I didn't go home alone this time, but why don't you return my message?"

"Oh hp me again lowbat"

"That's why you're here, try to see this"

How surprised I was to see the writing on the tree, I would not think it was just a passing prank, because this is a sacred tree that my villagers believe has a very dark story.

A long time ago, there was a girl who was accused of being the incarnation of a figure of Parakang. He was in a mass rampage and burned right in the middle of the tree it was growing. A few years after the girl's death, there was a beringing tree growing and getting bigger and bigger. It is said that everyone who passes through this tree will hear the screams of the girl who is suspected to be Parakang.

"Jina we have to go home Jina!! We have crossed the line, let's hurry!!... "

"But there was still something I wanted to look for in this tree!!"

"Jina is enough!!.... It's not just any tree we can approach"

I frantically pulled Jina to quickly leave from there.

"See Fen!! There's something up there"

When I looked up, I saw a shiny object tucked in the middle of the tree hole, Jina then looked for something she could use to reach it.

"Fen cepetan help me find wood to take that thing"

With a bad feeling, I had to help Jina find wood for us to use to take the thing.

"This is Fen I got!!"

"Judah hunt take!! Let's get out of here"

"Yes patient"

Jina swung her wood several times into the tree, and finally she could reach it.

"Easy? Let's hurry home! The sun is almost drowning!! "

"Eh Feni, it's saloko!!"

"Let's talk about going home, ayoo!!!"

Jina and I ran over, hoping we would get to the end of the road as soon as possible. But how unlucky we are!! We met a figure that is feared by all residents in my village, yes "Parakang"

"Haaaaa.... Jina i - it Parakang haaaa... "

Suddenly Jina covered my mouth with her hands.

"Ssuuut.... Shut up don't be noisy, don't panic, why do you think he's here?"

"I don't know Jina either, why are you trying now like that?"

"Does this have anything to do with the writing we saw on that tree?"

I also thought it was possible that this creature had indeed appeared because of that, when I again thought hard why this creature appeared, suddenly without us noticing, the rear was already standing behind the two of us.

I ventured to turn my head back, and sure enough! He was already standing with a face covered in black mud as well as a red eyeball.

I thought I wanted to faint right then and there, but Jina immediately stood up and pulled my hand to stand up, she ran in the opposite direction while holding tightly to my hand, for some reason Jina was so calm, she said, he did not turn around at all, neither shouted, nor cried. I feel like I want to die.

But just a few steps we ran, Jina stopped and turned towards the Parakang.

"I don't know why you're after us, but for sure, I'm sure you're looking for something. And if it were for me, I wouldn't give it"

After saying that, the Vanguard shouted towards us with a very loud and terrible voice, his voice was really very frightening, like the roar of several animals into one sound.

Suddenly it was raining, the young man quickly ran towards the two of us, Jina took my hand again and started running, I looked back to see what was happening. Because it was very heavy rain, all the mud in the body of the back began to fade.

At that moment, his body was clearly visible. What makes my eyes fixed on Parakang is, there is a very long scratch on his chest.

Tonight is the night I believe that they really exist!!.
