"Yes, all the food and drinks in this place are bought only with Surah - Surah, son..? " said the father as he resumed his journey.

Kania devoured all the food before him quickly. His stomach was already very hungry because since a few days ago, he had never touched a drop of water and a piece of food.
The feeling of thirst and hunger also makes him momentarily forget himself to be able to spend all the food in front of him.
Meanwhile the Prince of Arkana just took a piece of cake and a few sips of water. The rest he keeps for himself and Kania later. He was afraid that the girl would go hungry and thirsty again while on the way. He did not know what their journey was like and what obstacles they would face.
After a short rest, they continued their journey. Prince Arkana decided to continue his journey westward. Because according to their teacher, Ki Anom, if he is already in the fourth dimension, then he must continue his journey to the West. According to him, based on the signs he got, now he and Kania are in the fourth dimension
Without feeling, they had walked far away from the village where they had rested and released their hunger and thirst earlier. The atmosphere was getting darker a sign of time going into the night. The sky that was blackish-gray was now completely black. The darkness began to greet covering the area around them.
"Arka, look there. Looks like there are some light spots that are walking towards here. What light is that...? " ask Kania. His hands pointed to a point where there was some torch-like light approaching towards them.
The closer it became apparent that the one who was moving closer to them was indeed the torchlight of some people who were walking towards them. But that is not what makes Kania's mouth wide open and eyes wide open in horror.
The torches were carried by a group of people walking past them. But strangely none of those people had heads. Everyone who held the torch was headless...!!
Astaghfirullah....!!!
Kania repeatedly spoke Istighfar as the girl acted. He did not expect to see such a horrible sight.
"Arka, who are they. How could they walk in such a headless state...? " whispers Kania on the Ark.
" Sttt, lower your voice. They can know our whereabouts only from our voices." whispered the Prince of Arkana while pulling Kania's hand to immediately move away from the place.
After some distance, the young prince took off Kania's hand. The girl looked at the Prince of Arkana with a question mark.
"They are the spirits of the dead that are profaned." replied the Prince of Arkana. "They walked after the torch because it was the guiding hand of their souls that could not reach nirvana before the covenant between the subjugate and the ruler of darkness was completed. Or in other words they will not calm down before the one who has subverted them also dies.. "
"Astaghfirullah, what a pity for the fate of all of them. Then why did you forbid me to speak out loud for fear that they would hear us. What happens if they hear us, Arka..?"
The Prince of Arkana looked at Kania closely. The girl in front of him is so chatty. He always asked about something that he thought was strange or unreasonable to him.
"Do you really want to know...?" ask the Prince of Arkana again.
"Yes, quickly tell me, Arka. Don't make me curious."
"Alright, but the information I'll give you later, it's not free." Answer the Prince of Arkana.
" Okay, quickly tell me what you want..! " kania said impatiently..
"May I ask for something in return for the information I have conveyed..? " ask Prince Arka.
"Yes, I'm ready. I'll give you whatever you want. Just mention it..!" kania said to Prince of Arkana. .
"If they had heard you earlier, they would have immediately realized that there was a living being here and soon they would have exchanged it for you" said the prince of Arkana. He looked at Kania's soft face which was very beautiful. The Young Prince could only admire that beautiful face in his heart for not daring to express his feelings.
"So they need a new soul to replace their psyche" asked Kania.
"Yes, that's what I thought - kira" replied the Prince of Arkana.
"Hmm, that's awful. I just found out all that. The world is full of strange things. Including you, Arka. Oh yes, you said you wanted to ask for the information you gave. Say....what reward do you want.....! "
Prince Arkana. For a moment he stared at Kania's black round eyes. The Prince took a deep breath before speaking. "Will you be my girlfriend" he said, looking down at the ground. He did not dare to look at the beautiful face that had been present filling his dreams.
