The night is getting late. Only silence is still awake. Tonight, only a few moonlight lights up the earth. The light is dimly lit to this place.
Somewhere rather hidden, away from the crowds and also humans, a young man was sitting alone. It was as if he was waiting for someone. Because many times, his eyes were bright yellow with a bright brown spot in the middle, looking in just one direction, which was the front where he was at the moment.
Dear readers can certainly guess who the young man is. Yes, the young man is Prince Khalied.
Prince Khalied must swallow disappointment. Because the person he expected and he waited for - wait not to show his nose. While the day is almost early morning.
The young man passed by with a disappointed heart. He didn't meet the people he wanted to meet.
Finally, the young man flew off somewhere. A place he used to go to at a different time.
His eyes stared straight at a very simple house. There was a bright light from inside the house. The yellowish light from an electric light bulb may have come from a small lamp. Because the electric light that is emitted is very gloomy.
With ease, the young man barged through the walls of the house made of woven bamboo.
A woman about fifty years old, was lying weakly on an old cot. Next to the old woman sat a young girl with a beautiful and innocent look.
Prince Khalied's heart skipped a beat. He recognized that face. That girl is Zahra. The girl he was looking for - look for her whereabouts.
Prince Khalied's heart was happy not overcast. It was good to finally see her again. Although Zahra did not see her presence, she hoped that Zahra would remember her shadow.
Prince Khalied walked up to Zahra and sat down near the girl. Staring fixed - attached to the girl who became the fruit of longing in his heart.
How much Prince Khalied hugged the woman. He really misses the girl.
Zahz,... Prince Khalied murmured whispering Zahra's name
Zahra was sitting on the side of the cot when she heard someone say her name. Girl sits while massaging her mother's legs. He did so, as if unconcerned by the drowsiness that came attacking. The girl continued to massage her mother's legs so that she felt comfortable and could sleep well.
Without feeling it, the girl also fell asleep. Zahra fell into a deep sleep, so she dreamed.
In his dream, Zahra meets a young man who has very strange eyes. The eyes of which no man on earth has.
The young man just stared at Zahra without saying a word as well. Then suddenly, a black hole sucks both of their bodies until the young man and Zahra are carried away to a country.
A very strange country. The land is always covered with black clouds so it is always dark.
But then, they were attacked by a very large snake.. So large that the snake is able to form a mountain when coiled.
Zahra awoke when she felt her hand being touched by someone. It was his mother's hand.
"Zahra, get up,...!" the sound of her mother woke Zahra from her sleep.
"Mother,..!?" Zahra gasped in shock upon waking up. "Ohhhh... thank God, it was just a dream" Zahra said in her heart.
But why is the dream so real.?" ask Zahra in your heart. Ihhh..seram.., Zahra shuddered in heart.
"Ohuk...What are you, nduk.. ? " ask his mother while coughing - coughing.
Zahra looked at her mother with a worried look.
For several days, his mother was bedridden due to illness. Zahra doesn't know how to treat her mother. He didn't have the money to pay for his mother's coronation.
Let alone to seek treatment, to make a daily meal, they must owe first.
"It's okay, buk. Zahra is just having a bad dream." replied Zahra.
"Eat him, before going to bed do not forget to read the prayer first. In order not to be disturbed by the devil." advised Zahra's mother.
"Yes, Buk.... "
"Yes.it is already, there, pray the dawn first..ahuk....ahuk....it is already noon, it will be out of time..!"
Without refuting again, Zahra immediately took ablution water and performed dawn prayers.
Zahra did not realize that everything she did did did not go unnoticed by a pair of young men with strange eye colors. The young man who was last night was present in his dream.
The young man continued to follow the girl with the round eyeball wherever the girl moved.
