"Wait for me, I just remembered!" pekik Rea looked enthusiastic.
"Remember what?" ask Haga who was more excited by Rea's words.
Rea looked at the two men who had since put on a serious expression. They are waiting for what he has to say. Moreover, the topic that is being discussed at this time is something very interesting. Not because of the hurt of sadness after Amanda left, but the story behind it. Where there is a tragedy that not only concerns their lives, but can affect all humans.
" just yesterday when we were in a loop in the forest, why do we always go back to the place where the well was. I see the black shadow."
"Black heaven?" Haga was surprised to hear Rea's words just now.
"Yes, Om. Black shadow. Ah, not just a shadow I mean. But a black figure. He wears all black, keeps his head covering, and ... He stood on top of that old well. Surprisingly again, he had a pair of black wings that ... Eum, the fur's gone. Ah, you know what, I mean? The wing, which was on his shoulder, was not intact. Like peeling off and leaving only bones that seem clearly visible."
Haga and Habibi looked at each other. Their foreheads were wrinkled, showing the same reaction, and what they were thinking was definitely the same.
"Certainly? What's he doing?" ask Habibi worriedly.
"He didn't do anything. Just stand on top of that well and be quiet. But he keeps watching me."
" noticing you?" ask Haga with a question that made Rea a little anxious.
" What's the matter, Om? Is there anything I should be worried about, right? And who is he, Dad? Do you two know who he is? all I know is that he's not human. Because when I got away from it all and turned back to her, she wasn't there."
Haga turned to Habibie, hoping that her best friend would also have an answer to her daughter's question. Habibie looked silent for a moment and his eyes looked empty. He was doing something invisible to ordinary eyes. This is usually referred to as astral projection.
Astral projection (or astral travel) is a term used in esotericism to describe the experience of exiting the body on its own accord, which is thought to be a form of telepathy, it assumes the existence of a soul or consciousness called the "astral body" which is separate from the physical body. And able to travel out, to all corners of the universe.
There is no scientific evidence that there is a consciousness or soul separate from normal neural activity or that a person can consciously leave his body and make observations. But this phenomenon often occurs, especially in human humans who have a sixth sense. Or usually some just learn it.
Often such creatures and their plane of existence are described as a series of concentric circles, with separate bodies crossing their respective regions. The idea of the astral began to surface in the work of nineteenth-century French occultist Eliphas Levi, who was adopted and further developed by Theosophy, and later used by other esoteric movements.
Some similar concepts are also often found by the ancient Egyptians, the Bible, and also the Chinese people about the concept of the exit of the soul from the human body. So this kind of thing is no longer something strange to most people. Some people have experienced this during illness or near death, but astral projection can be done by making intentions.
But in the world of psychology or medicine precisely this phenomenon is considered a sleep disorder, such as sleep paralysis, and lucid dreaming.
As we know, the brain does not stop working in a sleeping condition, even though the body feels “lumpuh”. This is what causes us to dream when entering the deep sleep phase, where the body condition is completely relaxed completely.
Well, experts believe that astral projection or OBEs are part of the dreaming process. This condition is the same as when we experience bad mimli and hallucinations. It's just that it looks more real due to abnormalities in the communication process in the brain. Just like lucid dream.
In addition, the researchers also consider that astral projection is one form of hallucination that occurs due to experiencing certain events. For example, frightening experiences or experiencing extreme fatigue after a day of activity. Like busy work or overtime work that causes lack of sleep. It all depends on each person's understanding.
Habibie out of his body flew upwards. She could even see her daughter and her best friend sitting while staring at her body which was now in a meditative position. Habibi felt that there was not much time. He had to hurry to find out who the figure was being talked about by Rea. Of course Habibie is worried. If until what he thought came true, then he would have to fight once more to face Amon.
Well, from what Rea said, he suspected that Amon had come out of the well. Just like it did 30 years ago.
In an instant, he made it through the ocean, and now arrived at a dense forest that he had recently visited to pick up his daughter.
Habibi's soul descended, right on a black dot that was clearly visible from above. In fact, from a distance the location where Amon was located was marked with a dark light that shone from underground to penetrate the sky above him. So Habibi could easily find the place, even if he came from a very far place.
Habibi arrived, set foot on the ground and stood before the old well. He looked around, looking for someone he was looking for. A dark-robed figure with black wings on both of his shoulders.
"Get out! Whoever you were just met with my daughter! Out!" shouted Habibi firmly. He doesn't look scared at all. Even as if challenging that figure.
Soon, a strange phenomenon appeared. The wind blows quite fast, making the trees around move irregularly. Fly dry foliage even pebble stone. And behind the dust that was flying over the old well, appeared the same figure, as mentioned by Rea earlier. He was now standing on the well and staring at Habibi sharply, full of vengeance.
