The Dusk Boundary
Eps 127 (save the Kingdom)

Lily, Manda and Siska went away from where they were. Now the three were in a forest some distance from the palace.

Are we not looking for Raya? why did you even get here?" Manda felt a chill on his body and immediately clenched tightly to his own body.

"I don't know the way, this palace is vast. I just walked around and found a lot of empty rooms. It's like an uninhabited kosan." Lily recalled what she had been through. Now he felt a hunger that he had almost forgotten.

"It turns out you're hungry!" manda's taunts heard Lily's rumbling stomach. Lily just held her embarrassment.

Now the three of them walked into the forest. For a moment they forgot about Raya because their feet just stepped and got deeper into the forest.

"It's so grim, when do we get out of here?" Manda was getting scared because the longer the forest looked darker. No one answered their words. Siska increasingly fluttered the weeds in front of her followed by Lily and Manda who held tightly to Lily's hand.

Getting inside, the three of them were already awaited by some ferocious beasts that were ready to pounce. Siska, Lily and Manda were very surprised, not expecting them to be surrounded by beasts.

"Are we going to end up in their mouths?" Manda started crying. His body shivered in fear.

"Be quiet! don't be noisy!" Lily tried to prevent Manda from making a fuss because from earlier in the journey always just grumbled.

"The Empress.." said one of the beasts saluting the other beast. Of course making the three of them very surprised and looked at each other. Siska also realized that she was the empress of the demon kingdom. But do not expect if it turns out that even wild animals recognize it can even speak.

"You know me?" Siska responded to the beast's words.

"We will escort the empress to the border gate." as if understanding the intention of the empress' arrival, the beasts opened the way for Siska and her companions. Without thinking long and asking again, the three of them forced themselves to follow the ferocious beasts.

Arriving at the border gate, one by one the beasts left Siska, Lily and Manda. Still unmoved, Siska and the companions only gawked at the departure of the beast. Siska again looked at the border gate and asked.

"What is this place? is it safe in there?" Siska approached the gate and put her hand in it.

"Inside there it feels warmer. Should we go inside?" this time Siska tries to enter but is prevented by Lily.

"heart! What if it's a trap and we can't go back?" Lily was getting more worried let alone seeing the departure of the savage beast earlier which was a little mysterious.

"Maybe it's a border gate with our world. Let's just go in" Manda bravely went straight inside the border gate. Lily who was surprised to see Manda enter first, without a second thought of course immediately followed her. Meanwhile, in order not to be separated from his two best friends Siska also went directly inside.

Now the three of them were already in the human world without realizing. Not knowing the way, they just circled around in that place alone.

"Let's go again! Bismillah.." despite being tired, Lily still encouraged her two best friends to get out of the forest. Seeing the spirited Lily, Manda and Siska rise again. By reading sholawat, the three of them ended up on the edge of the forest by the road.

"It looks like I've been in this place!" Lily felt reminded of something but not so clearly. Because the sky was dark, the three of them walked along the road because no vehicles passed.

Long time Lily and her best friend are walking, now they've entered the city. Lily immediately pulled out her phone that was still in her pocket. Luckily the battery is still there. Lily immediately contacted papa Sigit to be picked up where she is now.

"Alhamdulillah.you're safe! wait there! We'll pick up soon"

A while later, papa Sigit along with on Reno had already arrived at where Lily and the others were. Papa Sigit was very disappointed because Raya did not come back with them. Papa Sigit immediately drove his car to return home, while Reno immediately checked Lily, Manda and Siska.

"I'm sorry about..You are separated from the Kingdom." said Lily regretting not being able to meet the Kingdom while in the demon kingdom.

"There's no need to worry. Papa talked about this with Kyai Arifin. We've done so much so you can survive. For one month we have held a study and a prayer event to ask for guidance to Allah SWT. May the Kingdom be given salvation wherever it is."

"Amine...."

After arriving home, Mama Rossi was of course very happy to see her daughter back. But some moments immediately moody after knowing if Raya did not come home. Meanwhile, Ali and Ilham who were there at that time only looked at each other because they did not know how else to return to the demon kingdom like that time.

"How did you guys get back and be in the suburbs?" whispered Inspiration to Manda while all were discussing about their departure in the demon world.

Manda told all that he had experienced in the demon world to Ilham. Inspiration also understands who thinks of something. Evening arrived, Ilham who had thought of something immediately met Ali and told his uneg-uneg. Ali began to understand and have the same meaning as Ilham.

"Are you sure we can go back there?" tanya Ali was a little worried even though she was already sure of what to do.

"They can return safely. I'm sure there's a barrier between all the worlds. Whaddya think? When do we move?" bring Inspiration enthusiastically.

"How about tomorrow night? the next morning we can be ready."Ali also convinced Ilham if his arrival to the demon kingdom this time must be with a lot of preparation. Unlike before that it instantly acted without thinking about what would happen afterwards. Since it was almost early morning, Ilham and Ali decided to sleep first to increase their energy.

In the other room..Siska, Lily and Manda could not sleep because they thought of Raya. They also set a plan how to save Raya.Although Siska and Lily are very enthusiastic, but different from Manda. Manda was so traumatized to be in a dark place back then, so she decided not to return to the demon kingdom.

"If you want to go back, I can only pray for you from here!" said Manda.

"Well.."
