"Are you okay, Bil?" asked Rayi who ran over to me. I looked at him confusedly then at the tiger. "Kok he can come here?" tanyaku pointed at the figure behind Kak Rayi.
The young man in front of me turned his head, "Yes, he was the one who helped me in the laboratory room. Where's rio?" ask her while looking around. I go back in the doldrums. Seeing me my attitude was strange, Brother Rayi then looked me in the eye. "Why?"
I looked at her and hugged her, "Rio's not there, sister. She ... She ...." Unable to continue the sentence, Brother Rayi just hugged me tightly. On his swab my back is soft while hissing. "Sstt, already, already. Maybe this is best for Rio, Bil. We pray that he will be in a better place" suggested Rayi.
The tiger came close to the door, its tail wagging and I realized that our struggle must continue, and again we must not be here for too long. The time difference here and in our world is very much different. He looked at us. His eyes shared an uninhabited house. He didn't talk much, but his attitude showed for us to go inside immediately.
"Yuk," Brother Rayi reached out to me, we finally stood up and approached the door. But strangely, the figure of Djin was not there. Only Aira was left who had been knocked unconscious on the floor. I looked at Brother Rayi, he nodded and made us immediately go inside. The tiger was waiting outside.
"Abitra! Just in case, yes," Rayi said to the tiger.
"Name Abitra?" my many. Brother Rayi nodded. "Honestly this is the first time I've seen and met him in person. Mama said you've seen Abitra before, haven't you?"
"Eum, yes."
We kept going in by sneaking around, while checking around. The fear of Djinn or those bad guys appeared and attacked us all of a sudden. I immediately ran over to Aira, checking her condition. His heart rate, pulse and breathing are still felt, although somewhat weak. At least he's alive now. Rayi's sister was standing near me, her net was wild looking for something. While I was trying to wake Aira up.
Suddenly the door outside opened violently. Abitra fell down as if being thrown down forcefully by something from outside. Rayi's brother is approaching Abitra. "Are you okay?!" panicked screaming. Abitra immediately woke up, he moved his body, then his mouth opened. His teeth look pointed with saliva there. He roars. His voice was loud, and made Brother Rayi retreat.
The Djinn emerged from the broken door outside. His figure looks fierce and strong. His body was the same as a human, having a small horn on his head, his skin was as red as it emitted a dense heat. Just this time I saw it clearly. Horrifically.
Abitra walked back and forth not far from the Djinn standing. In the right hand of the monstrous creature was an iron chain that was being bound to one's neck. Brother Sandi. And I'm sure it's the real Kak Sandi. His body was injured, his mouth was as if he was bleeding out. His clothes look muddy and tattered. Behind him appeared another figure of Kak Sandi and Aira.
Rayi's sister retreated and approached me. "Bil, are you ready?" tanyanya whispers. His eyes continued to look at the figure behind Djinn. They were both quite strong, his aura emanated clearly. I was scared and hesitant, but I couldn't give up. Especially with the presence of Brother Rayi will be very helpful to me now. At least I didn't fight alone, nor did Abitra. I'm sure we can get through all this.
"I'm ready" I said, pointing out the sharp object I still hold. Rayi's brother also pulled out a samurai from behind his back. "Where are you from, brother?" my many.
"Suddenly there's been, maybe some help from Rachel." True, it's possible that Rachel helped us too. Moreover, we have been in this world long enough.
Abitra roared again, as if hinting that the war had begun. He ran quickly towards the Djinn. Meanwhile, the two incarnate figures earlier, were staring at us with horrifying gazes. Brother Rayi walked away from me, giving room to each one. The figure of Aira looked at me hatefully, while I turned to the body of the real Aira, still lying on the floor in a very weak condition. I held up the thing in my hand intending to challenge it.
On the other hand, the figure of Kak Sandi had already fought with Kak Rayi. I don't need to worry about Rayi, because he's a martial arts master. Even his abilities are above mine. I just have to worry about myself.
Fake Aira smirked, in her hand was a long sword. Well, at least we drew. He started attacking me first. At the beginning I was just trying to dodge without attacking. But as soon as I heard Brother Rayi shout, my focus was divided. Rayi's brother was injured, his back torn with a gaping wound.
My weapon was thrown far away, and I realized that I was now on the verge of death. Aira advanced slowly, while tilting her head at me. I turned around, crawling to grab the sword above me. Aira's footsteps felt closer, I tried to continue dragging my body. My leg was suddenly pierced by the tip of the sword. Until I scream in pain. The sword was pulled back by him. I kept moving though with the pain in my right calf. Back down the sharp weapon felt right through my left leg. I went back to screaming in pain. I can no longer hold back my crying either. The pain in both my legs felt like I could no longer stand it. I literally cried, crawled, dragged my own body to avoid him.
Aira's shadow is visible to my right. He was raising his sword and preparing to sink it again. I closed my eyes and prepared, if my destiny is to end here. I don't know if I can live again like before after being hurt this badly. I'm not even in my own house. Papa, forgive Nabila.
"Ughhh!" My mouth was held back, as if the pain in my back was unable to make me scream like before. The pain is incredible. Not only did the sharp object stab me in the back, but Aira pulled it down my waist. There I just screamed with a lump of liquid coming out of my mouth.
But for some reason at the end of my tail, Aira screamed. There was a bright light behind me. Making the fake Aira's body seem to burn and vent into the air. Silent. But it turns out that the influence of light not only affects Aira but all these creatures. Sandi and Djinn. They burned and disappeared instantly.
Short breath. The pain in my back is still hot. Brother Rayi ran towards me and flipped my body. Now I also sit while being held by him. "The bill! Whence!" with terrified eyes. My eyes began to blur, I was running out of energy now. And slowly it was all dark.
_________________________
I felt my body being hugged by someone from behind. It feels reluctant to open the eyes, because of drowsiness that still lingers spoiled in the eyes. And I think my body is very tired. Talk to yourself, to your heart. If I wanted to sleep longer now.
But suddenly as if remembering something, I opened my eyes wide. I am now in my own room. Together ... I turned to the side of the bed beside me, and I did not dream that I was being hugged by someone from behind. He is Rayi's brother.
"God! Brother Rayi! Wake up! What are you doing here?! Later if Papa finds out, we can hang in front!" I cried out in a slow tone of voice, afraid that my voice would be heard by others. I woke up Brother Rayi but he just moved for a while and went back to sleep. "Ih, Brother Rayi! Wake up!" Back I shook his body while looking out at the door of the room.
"Hm? Wh why? Uh, you up?" I asked with my eyes half closed.
"Why is my brother here? Ih, papa will be angry!" whinek.
"It is precisely your Papa who told me to be here, take care of you. If you wake up and you need anything" he explained. He began to yawn and spread his hands.
I was sitting on the bed, just staring at him. His waking expression was very innocent, and Brother Rayi looked cute. "Eh, not yesterday we in ...." Recollecting the previous incident, when my body was almost torn apart, made me confused. If we're back from the other side, I should be at his house with Rayi and everyone. Why is it in my room. Am I dreaming?
"Yes. So gini," he said and sat down. I also shifted, fixing the sitting position to make it easier to look at him. Oh, my God, what did he mean to look at her? Ah, forget, forget.
"Yesterday, you fainted. And Rachel managed to pull us out of that world. Abitra also managed to bring Sandi san Aira. We did it, Bil. But your condition is the same as when we were in another world. You're hurt pretty bad. At first my friends took you to the hospital. But I immediately refused, and I took you home. It just so happens that there is Om Gio, and we take you straight to the sand room. Fortunately, you can go back to being okay. I'm really worried."
"So yesterday really happened? I'm not dreaming?"
"Yes, yesterday really happened." Brother Rayi clasped my hand, looking into my eyes deeply. "You're okay, right? I'm really worried about you, Bil. I can't see you get hurt like that, sorry that I can't keep you."
"Why did Rayi say that? This is not Rayi's responsibility. Some things like this are used to happening, brother. Maybe you should get used to it."
"Hm, yes. And from now on I'll keep coming where you're going."
"meaning?"
"If you have a problem like yesterday, I'll come along."
"But, brother, it's too dangerous. Nay! If I get hurt, I'll get well. But if Rayi's brother's hurt, how is it?"
"There's Abitra. Now I can see him, Bil."
"In the occult world yesterday, right?"
"Yes, that's the beginning. And here I can see him too. Abitra too will now continue to follow where I am going. All this time he was only at home waiting for me. Waiting for me to be ready. And it turns out that yesterday's incident made us both connected."
"Wow, cool," I muttered a little in disbelief. Rayi's sister smiled, thin and sweet. Her net that kept looking at me deeply, made me misbehave. "Sister, do not think so napa?" I said while looking embarrassed.
"Well, why?"
"Shame!" I said as I threw his hand and then moved from the bed to the balcony door of my room which was still closed. Curtains opened and sunlight began to enter the room. My bed creaked, and it was indeed a sign that someone who was on it, was coming down. From the tail end of my eyes, I saw Brother Rayi come down and come closer to me. We stood side by side, then I took her out. The balcony room in the morning like this looks very tempting. Rayi just complied and walked out.
We were dealing with sunlight. It's dazzling, but it's quite warming. The wind makes me feel more comfortable here. It felt like my morning was absolutely perfect, just left to brew coffee and enjoy it slowly with Brother Rayi.
"Nr ...."
I looked up to hear his call. Rayi looked down before she finally looked back at me. The look in those eyes was so sad. I don't know, it feels like I'm going to linger staring at those eyes. I just raised an eyebrow in response to the call.
"I love you."
The deg! It felt like my heart stopped for a second, and came back beating faster. My blood is like a swish. I know, that Rayi's sister does keep a taste in me. But I don't think he's talking about it right now. And I was confused as to what to answer.
"Hm, yeah, I know." Now it feels like my face is hot, I don't even dare to look into Brother Rayi's eyes anymore.
"Keep how?"
"What's how?"
"So us?"
"We what?" I asked to turn the question back.
"Nabila .. gosh!"
"We're dating?"
"Huh? Is Brother Rayi really like that? Kirain was just expressing her feelings?"
Rayi's sister scratched her head, "hm, wrongly speaking me," she muttered to herself. He looked back at me, then widened his smile again. "OK, repeat," he said, correcting his body position. Now both of my hands are held by him. I laughed when I saw this absurd behavior.
"Naval ...."
"...."
"Jawab dong."
"Haha. Okay. Yes, Brother?"
"I love you, Nabila."
"Me too, Brother."
"Also what?"
"Dear brother."
"Seriously?!"
I nodded with a stifled smile.
"We're dating yuk."
"Corn!"
"Yeeey. We made this?" tanyanya reiterated. I nodded while holding back the laughter. Brother Rayi cheered happily. He lifted my body and went around in circles.
Simple but happy. I didn't expect this day to come either. Rayi's sister, a man I haven't known for a long time. Able to break my heart. Not in a short time, but slowly. I've been watching Rayi for a long time. But we were close a while ago. And it feels like I've known him for a long time. And, this morning we both just formalized the relationship, became a courtship. Quite surprising. I still can't believe it.
_________________
Arriving at the school parking lot, we walked side by side. This is the first time we have come up with a new status. There is a difference this morning. Now my hands and Rayi's hands go together. Make several pairs of eyes that see more and more head bobbles. I know, it feels strange if a cute girl like me becomes Kak Rayi's lover who is an influential person at school. But this is how it is. This is love. And I like his attitude.
Arriving at the 1st class building, Rayi stopped. I also don't want him to take me to class, even if he wants to. But I'm not a typical spoiled woman like that. I deliberately told him to take the stairs.
"It's okay. Let them know we're dating" she whispered, laughing and ruffling my hair. He walked away, towards his class.
______________
Today the school atmosphere is safely under control. I started to think back to Rio. Even I miss him. He would show up every few hours. But now he's completely gone. Staring out the window, hoping he would pass by, but nil.
"When?!" someone shouted, and I immediately looked back to the front. Bu Nawang is glaring at me. Ah, die me. I was caught daydreaming again in class. "Out you! Than you don't focus on my lessons! Go to the library, and do this," he said, showing a paper in his right hand. Zidan glanced at me while covering his face. He then shook his head with a scratch. While others don't care.
I immediately stood up and walked over to the teacher's desk to take on the task. While bowing his head, the task of Bu Nawang was already in hand. This is either happiness or disaster for me. I can be free from class lessons, but there are tasks waiting for me in plain sight. And I don't know if I can do it or not.
The situation outside the classroom was very quiet. Only one or two people showed up, either going to the teacher's room or the toilet, maybe even the cafeteria. I saw someone I knew. "Sir Faza!" my murmurs looked at the figure of the man at the end of the corridor who was walking with a woman. My forehead is shrinking, because I don't think Mira is Faza's taste. Even as far as I know Mira was rejected outright by Kak Faza. At least that's what Rayi told me a while ago.
They walked around very friendly, and this made me curious. I secretly followed Brother Faza and Brother Mira. I kept my distance, so that my reconnaissance would not be discovered. The longer I got confused, as we started toward the empty building behind the school. The building is in renovation phase. They went into a classroom.
"Well, what are they gonna do, huh?" my mummy speaks for itself.
Slowly I began to approach and arrived at the door that was closed by Brother Faza. It's suspicious. I'm looking for a hole to peek into. But all are tightly closed. And the only way is to peek out of the window which is located a little high above. I looked for a foothold, and finally managed to get a chair. I climbed up slowly, holding onto the window, trying not to make the slightest sound possible.
I kept looking for the whereabouts of the two men. Now they are beginning to be seen in the corner of the room. And I saw Brother Mira unbuttoning his shirt. I glared then immediately lowered my head. I don't think I need to see it anymore. It makes me shudder in horror. Oh, my God, Brother Faza. Slowly I was about to get off this chair, but suddenly my legs got stuck, and made my body fall. I kept my mouth shut and now Brother Rayi caught me and kept me from falling on the floor. The chair he held, too, and there was certainly no sound whatsoever now. Rayi's sister glared at me, her lips moving, and I could read that she was asking me what I was doing. I put my index finger in front of my lips, telling him to be quiet. I pulled his hand away from the place.
We are now near the library. I kept looking at the corner where Kak Faza and Kak Mira were. Rayi's sister is still waiting for my explanation. His hands were folded in front of his chest, while continuing to look at me. "Sister, that was, Brother Faza!"
"The square? Why?" he half-believed.
"Sama Kak Mira's. Them ...." I scratched my head, confused as to how to tell it. Rayi looked at me deeply, waiting for my next explanation.
"I saw Brother Mira undressing, and I didn't see her again. Horrified," I whined while holding his arm. Brother Rayi frowned again, then laughed to see me. "I'm laughing!"
"You're funny. What are you doing outside yourself? Not in class!" cetus with intimidating statment. I showed the paper in my right hand. "This, told to do this. I was daydreaming in class, kept Bu Nawang angry," my whine spoiled.
"He's been fucked, hunted."
"I can't, Brother." My face I made very clear, so that Brother Rayi pity.
"Okay, I'm banuin. But there are conditions" he said seriously.
"What?"
"Don't call me sister again, but baby!"
"Huh?! I don't want to!"
"Well, why not? Have we dated this?"
"Shame," I whispered as I glanced to the right and left sides.
"Okay, I give you a lightening. Call unfortunately enough if we're alone, how?"
I kept quiet while thinking about this offer, and in the end I nodded slowly. Signs agree. Rayi's sister smiled widely and then brought her face closer to me. I backed off while keeping my mouth shut. "Come, say. How the hell?" the door was half pushy.
"Yes, baby," I murmured more into whispering softly.
"What's? I didn't hear?"
"Yes, baby." I hardened my words.
"less hard."
"Yes, my brother Rayi!" I said half screaming. And immediately shut his mouth while looking around. Brother Rayi laughed while cheering. "Yep, work!" he said, taking me to the library.
He continued to teach me. I know that Rayi's sister is one of the smart students. The rumors about him continued to spread, and made me know a lot about him. And at a time like this, I'm very happy. And somehow Bu Nawang's lesson made me understand quickly. So that the last thing makes me instantly able to do it.
"Yey, it's done," I said cheerfully. Showing our work together with pride. Rayi's sister just smiled and held my head and then kissed him quickly.
The two of us immediately came out of the library as soon as we heard the bell ringing. The lesson is over and it's time to go home. In front of the library we met Kak Faza and Kak Mira. This proves that my words were true. And Rayi's gonna believe it now.
"God! Where the hell are you?" ask Rayi. Staring at Kak Faza and Kak Mira alternately. Sister Mira looks wrong while covering her neck with her collar. I saw a kiss mark on his neck. I'm sure Rayi saw that too. "I go first, yes," said Kak Mira sungkan. He ran away and left us.
"Crazy you, Za," said Kak Rayi while shaking his head.
"Whisper you! Don't interfere!" said Kak Faza cynically, then left us. Brother Rayi looks surprised at the reaction of Kak Faza. He looked shaken, and it was very clear from the change in his face.
"Yes, you are hunting back in class, I will wait in the parking lot, baby," said Kak Rayi then kissed my forehead, again. He walked away first leaving me.
The first time I saw Brother Rayi was sad. And I can't bear it. They had never had a serious fight like that before. And it is strange, Brother Faza who can be said to be the most alim person in the whole school suddenly his behavior is apprehensive.
I took a deep breath, then walked back to class.
______________________
Now Rayi's brother is sitting on his iron horse. Shut up while staring coldly at another corner of the parking lot. There was Kak Faza with Kak Mira. They're riding in Faza's car. It feels like their friendship is really in a mess right now. Brother Roger and Kak Bintang also looked towards Kak Faza while shaking their heads. They both approached Rayi. They were in serious conversation, it seems.
I slowly walked over, trying to buy time for them to have time to chat together. I believe this matter should indeed be discussed internally. And I'm not part of it.
"Bill? What's in there?" asked Brother Rayi who had caught me standing staring not far from them. "Here, dong," he said and waved to me. Though hesitant, but I certainly obey and get closer to them.
"Cie, who's already been, is eating this," Brother Roger nudged me with a flirtatious look.
"What the hell, Roger's brother."
"Here, pretend," he said. His eyes narrowed with a wide, annoying smile. The look in his eyes really made me want to hit him while laughing.
"Look, we're eating this." The sentence Kak Bintang makes Kak Rayi position her seat correctly.
"Yeah, where are you going?" kak Rayi asked as if he agreed to her friend's request.
"Ordinary cafe, Yi. Long time not there we," said Kak Bintang.
"Well, I agree." Brother Roger then went up to the motorcycle Kak Bintang.
Rayi's sister gave me a helmet and told me to go up. Of course I never went straight home. Because all this time I've been out of the house quite often. Especially if you are not home. And now Papa is on a business trip out of town.
_______________
We arrived at the cafe they were referring to. The nuances of a modern but luxurious cafe make me amazed. Their taste is good in choosing a place. We were looking for an empty seat. The two men walked in front, while Rayi and I were behind them, hand in hand. Very possessive, that's what Rayi is. But I like it.
"Rooks. That's, right, Faza!" point Kak Bintang to a table with a young man and a girl there. But strangely the girl was not Brother Mira. But Brother Fitri.
"Replace him again?" ask Brother Roger cynically.
"Crazy the Faza. Lots of changes, yeah."
"And suddenly!" said Brother Rayi.
"Eum, hello, how about we find a seat? I'm hungry, By the way," I concluded, stroking my stomach. Brother Rayi smiled and invited me to a table that was a bit far from Kak Faza. But the whereabouts of the young man can still be clearly seen.
We had lunch here. And he said this was the inauguration of my relationship with Rayi. The table had plenty of food. They chose japanese food. And I like it too. The three of them laughed about many things about school. Moreover, soon there will be a new OSIS chairman election. Rayi's sister had the honor of being one of his candidates.
"Yes, confused too, because Andra this recap is wrong anyway, so it's a bit chaotic indeed. We can only handle it later." They started discussing organizational matters here. I who do not understand the subject, just shut up and listen. Every now and then I look at Sister Faza's desk. He realized that we were in this cafe too, but somehow he didn't seem to care. Even more fun with the woman next to him. Brother Faza's attitude is strange. I also don't understand why Brother Faza has changed like that. Like not himself.
"Geez!" pekikku slowly. I closed my mouth while frowning. As if I didn't believe what I just saw. "Ah, maybe wrong look," my inner self.
I went back to eating the snack I ordered earlier, while listening to the senior chat about the election of the new period OSIS chairman. Kak Faza is also a candidate who will fight Kak Rayi. There are 5 OSIS candidates. And all are men.
____________
Brother Rayi drove me home. And this seems to be a routine agenda every day. The relationship that is warm-warm definitely makes us want to continue together. I went down in front of the gate, Brother Rayi did not stop by, because this afternoon will take Mama somewhere. "I came home, yes" he said, stroking my cheek. I nodded and smiled.
"I love you, baby."
"I love you too, Brother Rayi."
"Well where?" the young man protested with a fond expression.
"I love you too, my dear Rayi."
"Eh, Bil, from now on just eliminate that brother's call, can you? It's not good to hear." He came back to protest and made me chuckle.
"Keep me calling what?"
"You I call Yang, and you call me Ay. My name still has its Ay element."
"Hm, okay okay. Maybe too, brother."
"Eh, brother again!"
"Haha. Okay, Ay," I said a little whisper.
"Ih, shame on my dear." Rayi's sister pinched both of my cheeks in a fit of anxiety. He came home and I took off with a happy smile.
But suddenly I became reminded of Brother Faza when in the cafeteria earlier. Strange eyes. His eyes turned black. And it lasted only a split second. But I really saw it. And this made my suspicions seem to find common ground. At least I'm sure that he's no longer the brother Faza we've known. I'm not even sure that Brother Faza is still in his body. And I remembered what Rachel said the other day. Man who has crossed other worlds or his soul is held captive by supernatural beings, must undergo a series of tests, to prove and convince that the soul that returns to his body is indeed his soul. It is not the soul of another evil creature that wants another life on earth. Because often people whose souls have been lost will behave unnatural and strange. And now I see it inside Kak Faza.
