".....Why did he faint?" ask nek Surti.

"Tadi Wati.." It's not finished yet Karti spoke his words have been cut off.

"Keekan aja kok nek." sela Wati fast.

Wati nodded once gesturing for Karti and Rian not to tell Grandma the truth. They can also just be quiet. Rian looked at le below and let out a slightly rough breath. But not realized the others.

Rian shook his head slowly. He was a little disappointed in Wati who did not want to tell his grandmother the truth. But Rian did not want to interfere more deeply for the affairs of the Wati family. Although in fact he is still very worried about the situation of Wati.

"Emmm. Yes, we went home first. You get enough rest to recover." said Karti while smiling at Wati then slightly bowed to give a sign of respect to grandma.

Then Karti turned around, glanced and took Rian out of Wati's house to go home immediately. But not until the two of them came out, their steps stopped when one of the names called from behind them in a soft voice but could still be heard due to the quiet circumstances.

"Yes."

Rian and Karti stopped and looked back and then looked at each other. Karti who understood nodded slowly while smiling. Then Karti patted Rian's shoulder slowly and passed away leaving the Wati residence after saying goodbye to go home first.

Rian approaching. Grandma immediately went inside to take a drink in the kitchen. Wati invited Rian to sit on the chair in front of her. At first Wati hesitated about saying it to Rian. But he did not want to be any longer with the curiosity he felt all along. And after a few minutes of silence, Wati ventured to open her voice.

"Yan." shut up for a moment. Rian looked up at Wati who wanted to talk. "Yes" he answered.

"Emmm... Actually I'd like to ask you a few things. But I'm afraid my question is bothering you." hesitates Wati to say it.

"What's wrong. God willing I will not be disturbed. What are you going to ask me, I will try to answer as long as I can." she replied with a smile.

Rian's response was enough to make Wati a little calm and confident to continue talking. He slightly changed his sitting position to really face his interlocutor, namely Rian. Wati cleared her throat to relieve the nervousness that spread throughout her body. Rian who noticed Wati's nervousness slightly reviewed the smile without Wati realizing it.

'It turns out Wati is funny too if you are nervous again like this. It was adorable.' Rian murmured inwardly.

"emm. yes.. Then first, I'd like to ask you about... Do you really have any spiritual abilities.?" wati asked with frowns frowning out of dismay at what answer Rian would give.

Rian raised next to his eyebrows and then laughed lightly. At first he was surprised by Wati's question, but as much as possible he covered because he did not want to make Wati feel guilty and did not want Wati disappointed.

Seeing Rian's reaction like that, Wati frowned her brows in astonishment with Rian's attitude. What does he mean, he laughs. 'Am I wrong to ask that yes' Inner Wati.

"No.no.. Sorry.sorry. You mean, I have such paranormal-paranormal-rich supernatural skills?" Rian asked back and was embraced by Wati justifying his question earlier.

"No.."

"Babeh.."

"No. The answer is no."

"You mean... But why do you often help me when I am disturbed. ahh no. call it trance. Ja.. Why?"

Shut up for a moment, Rian thought about what appropriate and convincing answer he would give Wati. He nodded to convince the answer he was going to give.

"Emmm... Actually, I don't know either. But since childhood I have often seen.emh more precisely feel yes. Just limited to feeling without ever knowing let alone seeing things that are magical like that." explained Rian. He paused for a moment before continuing to see Wati's response which seemed still serious to listen to Rian's explanation.

"Yes, so I just felt it without being able to see it. But.." Rian's sentence hangs.

"But what, Yan?" sahut Wati fast. The look on his face changed instantly, whether he was afraid, anxious, disappointed, curious or what he felt because of the sentence Rian hanging.

"What's that weird thing?" ask Wati again.

Without Wati realizing it, the feeling of weakness and dizziness in the head that he had felt since waking up in the UKS room of the school had disappeared.

"Emmm... Strange things, like. I'm more sensitive to otherworldly things. And also..." Rian stopped his sentence making Wati frown out of curiosity with the continuation of Rian's sentence.

"And so, what's Rian?" tanya Wati could not wait to hear Rian's next sentence.

"And also... I can see them. Maybe not all of them can be seen. But this really makes me quite surprised and surprised at it." Rian explained.

Wati was surprised to hear Rian's words just now. He slightly stiffened until the grandmother came with drinks and snacks to be able to melt the atmosphere. They were both smiling as grandma entered the living room so that grandma would not worry.

"This is Le (the name for a boy). Drink the tea so that it is more relaxed talking. Don't tense up." said the grandmother with a smile as she put tea and snacks on the table.

"Yes. Thank you, Grandma." replied Rian with a smile.

Grandma simply smiled in response to him and passed away leaving the two of them. Confidence came back between them. Until Rian cleared his throat to melt the atmosphere.

"Emmm... Where were we just now.?" rian asked open his voice.

Wati was silent for a moment recalling their previous chatter. "Emm. oyya. You said before that you could only feel his presence. But after meeting me. You become more sensitive to the presence of even their forms. It means how I got confused."

Rian looked at Wati for a moment and then he lowered his gaze down and replied, "yes, I also do not know exactly what happened. But.. after I thought about it again from the beginning of our meeting. I have a little conclusion whether this makes sense or not but I think it's true" answered Rian.

"Indeed..what conclusion did you get?" ask Wati.

"Emmm. Here yeah... At first, since childhood said my mother had often said strange things such as. while on the trip I said that there was a large height at the intersection of the road we just passed. no one saw anything there. Then I also said that a lot of my friends play while in the park behind my old house. There was only me and Dion, my cousin. And there are still many mystical and strange events that I have experienced to date. But yes, as I said. There was a difference between before and after I met you." Rian said.

Later then.....
