SURO
Punishment Seriy

I got closer to Seriy, trying to discuss this without anyone else knowing.

"Seriously can you read the kawi script?? How's it?" manya curious.

Seriy frowned slightly. "Yes... By reading a lot of everything, what you don't know, you will know. What has been the question, will find the answer. I think we should read whatever it is, books have broad insights, and the style of authorship varies, reflecting how their level of intelligence. I like to read to understand the meaning of the author, anyway.. If the person can write, obviously they are intelligent." he explained at length, and only this time I did not feel bored when listening to the words throughout.

"Cool!!" tukasku.

Seriy was wide-eyed when he heard it. "K.. Cool?" he asked as if in disbelief.

"Yes, if every writer is smart, then the reader is much smarter" I said.

Seriy grimacing. "Why could that be?? Readers can't write a book." he said.

"Readers cannot write books, but they are able to understand every purpose of books written by many authors. Understand many things, not just from one point of view but from many other points of view. And to me, that's so cool!!" pep again.

Seriy was wide-eyed, and I somehow noticed a red rash appearing between his cheeks. He nodded while tucking his hair into his ear. "Np.. Speaking of kawi script writing, do you know where it's from?" ask again.

"From the book." I said quickly.

"I think the kawi script is just ancient writing that may have been written only in old books. But it seems I was wrong, because you can find such a book easily."

I grabbed his arm. "Who said to find the book easily. Because of that book, I almost died knowing!!" pissed me.

He nodded and brought himself closer to me. "Where did you get it?" ask again.

"Secret." I said, making him quiet and looking at each other with me.

"Seriiy, focus on the inauguration event. What exactly are you doing?" reprimanding his mother, making Seriy gasp.

"Oh, sorry Mom. I'm approaching this kid." he said, pointing at me with his index finger. What do you think I am a slave?? He could point at me so impolitely.

"Review your hands!!" I grumbled while catching and lowering his finger.

"Sst. shut up, you'll be punished, mother, if you can't keep quiet!" threaten her mother again.

Seriiy is straight into serious fashion while staring ahead. I frown and wonder, he's in the law said his mother?? In what law??

I took Seriy's hand, making him glance at me without moving his limbs. "Hey?? You're being punished by your mother, aren't you?? What punishment?" kepo many.

He glanced at his mother, then looked back at me. "This is what I meant earlier, if I told you, would you be offended?" tanyakanya. I shook with certainty. "Related?" now I nodded with certainty. "I am in the law of mother and father, to accept an arranged marriage with Danniel." he said, watching me intently.

"So you're being punished for that?" ask again. "What's the biggest mistake you've made to be punished like that?" manya curious.

"You know what I've discussed before about the origin of the Anhm'ius people and what hemisphere we live in?" tanyakanya. I nodded, because I remember what he said just now. "Actually we live on earth as well. We are just a little different from humans. Our nation, close to human civilization, is just.. The difference is, we're invisible to their eyes."

"Huh?" I was surprised to hear Seriy's words. "Ke.. Why don't we see where humans are?? We are different, but we mix between them. In fact, I also often buy comics, read anime, and play video games, all made and created by humans. Even their tools are sold freely in our market, right? I mean how can we buy them from humans, if they can't see us?" I panicked and didn't believe what he said.

"Actually, some people are able to see us. Only certain humans can do that. Don't you wonder, why it's rare for humans to enter our homes when we're close to them?" tanyakanya.

"B. true as well." I said.

"Yes, there's another reason why that could happen."

I scrunched my forehead. "What's that?"

"Because of our habitation, invisible to their eyes."

Again I was surprised to hear it.

"We are something that is visible, which they usually call the residence of the jinn" he continued.

I blinked, this woman knows where all that came from?? The longer I talked to him about this, the more creeps he got. He was like a freak who liked mystical stories.

"Jin?? We're called jinn by humans?" I was amazed, and Seriy just nodded.

"For them, we are invisible jinn who have supernatural abilities that they do not have, genies for them are just like humans, able to live, be born and die. It's just the difference as I mentioned earlier. And the humans, call our place something called Saranjana" he continued.

"What is Saranjana?"

"Saranjana is a magical city for them. And they call this nation of anhm'ius the nation of jinn."

I swallowed when I heard it. "Where do you know all that weird stuff?" I just can't believe it.

"You were asking me why I'm in the law, right?" ask her, and I nodded in confirming. "Well, that punishment" he explained, made me frown confused.

"Don't tell me you're being punished, for coming out of our nation, and meeting the humans?" I'm at the worst possible.

Seriy was shocked to hear it. "Yes, your words are true. I'm under the law, for entering into the dwelling of men."

Seriate....
