The Great Sorcerer
Caramel #6

“HUAAAA!!” Adam was very surprised to see the reflection of his body in the eyes of the creature.

Adampun woke up from his sleep, and his mother was squeezing a wet handkerchief beside him.

“I-Mother..”

Suddenly Irene's tears rolled down her cheeks. “A-dam...” Said her mother in a slightly stuttered voice.

Adam was very confused by his mother's expression.

“Mother got-”

*grip*

Irene then immediately hugged Adam very tightly and cried. “Adaaaaaam!!!”

“Bu, Mother why? I just woke up.” Adam tried to let go of his mother's powerful embrace.

But Irene's embrace could not be removed and the crying became hysterical. “You've slept 3 days.”

Adam's eyes immediately bought wide, his pupils enlarged. “Ti-Three days? I-I slept for 3 days?” Adam said with a stammer.

Adam's body trembled hearing that, as well as his sudden headache that made his sight return a little blurred.

“Akh...” Adam was a little moaning but still able to endure that pain.

Irene who was already feeling lightened, then explained everything that happened. “As long as you sleep too, you often deliriously like asking for help. And mentioned the occasional name.” Irene's eyes suddenly stared intently at Adam. His voice also became very heavy and hoarse. “Carael...Karael..Karael.

Adam who was beside Irene, was immediately frightened and slowly began to crawl away from Irene who was acting strangely, her body immediately shook violently. “I...-I-bbbu..”.

Irene's eyes suddenly let out a burst of fireworks, which grew larger and eventually burned Irene's eyeballs.

Irene's voice became loud and thunderous.

“HAHAHAHAAA..” Irene then laughs exactly with the creature in Adam's dream.

Irene's temple bones suddenly bulged out, accompanied by a blaze that now began to burn through Irene's entire body, and then burned the entire Adam's Chamber.

Irene's body became enlarged accompanied by a horn on her head and a bright red eyeball.

And suddenly Irene glanced. “ADAM!” Irene.

“HUAAAA!!” Adam was so shocked that he woke him up from his sleep.

Adam's breath became breathless with sweat already flooding his body.

“DREAM!?” Her speech.

And thanks to that dream, Adam can remember everything that happened, along with Karael, the Stone of Satan, and his life back after being killed by Pharsa yesterday.

In a matter of seconds, all of those memories seemed to be rewound inside his head.

*Tok Tok Tok*

Suddenly there was a knock from the door of his room.

“Adam, Wake up breakfast is ready.” Sound like her ‘Mu’.

Adam experienced many things in one full day, making Adam very confused. “Is this a dream again?” Say it in the heart.

*Tok Tok Tok*

‘Ibunya’ back knocking Adam's room door back. “Adam, quickly wake up!” And his tone of voice had now become a little higher.

Adam still did not answer his ‘ibu’ call.

*tock! Geck! Geck!*

The sound of the knock became more and more, and now ‘himunya’ shouted loudly. “ADAM QUICKLY WAKE UP!”

The sound of the knocking shocked Adam. “Do I still dream?” Then Adam curled his body in a mattress and clogged his ears with a pillow while closing his eyes tightly.

“Hopefully this is a dream! may this be a dream! may this be a dream!” Adam said as if he were praying.

*BRAAAK*

Adam's bedroom door was smashed hard until Adam's door lock was broken. “ADAAAM!” Shouted Irene.

Adam who was still curled up in the courtyard hastened his prayer. “Hopefullydream Mayatinimimpi”

Irene then pulled the strong body of Adam. “ADAM QUICKLY WAKE UP!!”

“Mayainimim-HAAAA” Adam back surprised.

“KAMU IT want tid-” Irene's bubbling voice but the cry, immediately became quiet, saw the face of Adam who was very pale and sweat that soaked the shirt even bed sheet Adam.

With breathless breathing and a dry throat, Adam tried to make sure he was not dreaming right now. “I-Ib-u” Adam said stammeringly.

With a slightly panicked face, Irene then immediately approached Adam. “Adam, you why nak?” Irene asked in panic.

Irene then touched Adam's forehead with her palm. “You sick? You want a doctor?”

Hearing the sound of a bell, and feeling the smooth but cold hands that were very typical of his mother, made Adam believe that this was not a dream.

“You why nak?” Ask Irene.

Adampun. “Hah? Oh.. no ma'am, I was just a nightmare.” Adam tried to calm himself down.

***

“Nak, are you sure you're okay?” Irene asked who was also sitting across the dining table.

Adam nodded while biting his toast. “Iya ma'am, I'm fine.” Reply Adam. “Maybe I was exhausted after yesterday's test.”

Hearing Adam's explanation, Irene still doubted the condition of her son who ‘ alright’ it.

But Irene did not want to ask much for now, because she thought it would only add to the burden of her son's mind. Irene then sipped her cup of tea.

While Adam could not explain what was really happening, what else was the Carael angel that was inside him. Adam was afraid that this would attract a lot of people, especially with people who thought Karael was a disaster. And the Verals villagers think of the angel Karael as such.

Adam and Irene then continued breakfast with silence and just focus on finishing the dish in front of them.

But in the middle of that awkward breakfast, Adam realized something. “Mother, I'm not home yet?” Ask Adam.

“Not yet, it looks like it will take a few more days.” Answer Irene.

Although Jason's journey has been expected, but no one knows what obstacles will occur in the trip, whether the weather, damaged roads, even the bandits who interfere with the journey of the courier goods like Jason.

But Adam was not too worried about that, because this had happened to his father, especially for the bandits, they would definitely run away first when they saw how big Jason's body was. For Jason's return he usually returns at the latest one week from the expected day.

*Gluk Glucose*

Adam finished off his bread and warm milk.

“Adam, then what about your academy? Are you off?” Irene asked as she washed the dishes from breakfast.

“Iya ma'am, I'm off until the announcement of the final exam. Looks like about 1 week.” Adam was still sitting at the dinner table.

Irene, who was done with washing the dishes, then picked up a cloth to wipe her wet hands. “Then, can you help mom?”

Inside a shelf where dishes and kitchen utensils, Irene then picked up a basket made of rattan. “Can you buy some vegetables in the market?” Say irene while thrusting the wicker basket.

Usually Irene goes to the market with Jason and often gets a discounted price, because the market people help the market people a lot from the bandits who like to ask for ‘trade’ security that in fact they just turn on the market traders.

Adam actually still wants to laze at home, but because there is only himself at home, Adam would not want to obey his mother's orders.

Adam then went to a market not too far from his house. On the way, Adam sees the back of a teenage girl he knows so well.

“Amalia!” Adam Shouted.

“Adam?” Reply to Amalia while looking at Adam.

Adam then approached Amalia who was also carrying a rattan basket like him.

“You're headed too?” Ask Adam.

“Yes, my mother told me to buy vegetables.”

“Then the same, would you like to leave together?”

Adam and Amalia went to the market together and when they arrived in front of the market, many people went to look for their daily needs and traders offered their merchandise aloud.

The sound of bargaining between merchants and buyers was heard clearly, as well as children who gathered to see traditional toys there, they look very fun to see the merchant who shows rubber ball toys very cleverly.

“Adam what do you want to buy?” Ask Amalia.

Adam then took a piece of paper given by his mother before leaving earlier. “Hmmm... Carrots, cabbage, and tomat” Adam replied as he read the paper. “You?” Adam continues.

“If I, tomato and oyster mushrooms.” Reply Amalia.

Adam then offered a proposal to shop together, because he knew the right place to buy vegetables and mushrooms, Amaliapun agreed to Adam's proposal.

Adam then went straight to the merchant where his subscription bought mushrooms.

From a distance looks a tent made of bamboo roofed dry straw, there is also a wooden table complete with vegetables on it.

Green vegetables complete with spices that are hung on the table. “Grandpa Henry!” Adam Shouted.

An old man who was arranging his vegetables looked happy with the arrival of Adam. “Oooh Adam!” Reply Henry. “You haven't been dating in a long time.”

So with Adam who was also happy to see Henry. “Iya cake, many things to do at home. Hehe..”.

“You are now big yes, last you played here if not wrong you are still this.” Reply Henry while measuring Adam's height which is slightly higher than the vegetable table.

Henry watched Adam's body from foot to head. “See you are now almost as high as my tent.”

Hearing that, Adam blushed in embarrassment. “Haha.. no cake.” Adam answered awkwardly.

Amidst the warm reunion, Henry was a little fascinated with a girl who had been beside Adam. “Your boyfriend?”

Adam was immediately shocked by the question, his face immediately flushed red. “HAH? Bu-Not.. D-D-D-he t-t-friends k-ku” Answer with a wave.

Likewise with Amalia who immediately bowed in shame, and nodded in agreement to Adam's statement.

Adam's plain gurgle never changed, and that's what made Henry love Adam.

“Hahahahaaa.. I thought you came to introduce your girlfriend to me.”.

Suddenly a man in black robes and hoods covering his entire body came into Henry's tent.

“Excuse me sir, do you have chicken meat?” Ask the man.

Henry was shocked by the sudden arrival of the man. “O-oh, briefly.”

As Henry searched for chicken meat, Adam felt that he was being watched, Adampun glanced at the man, and their eyes met.

A middle-aged man who looked almost 30 years old, looked at Adam sharply.
