The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 34 - Super Blue Blood Moon
"Sister, he said tonight there's a 'Super Blue Blood Moon' phenomenon, huh? Whatisit? It sounds cool and mysterious" Livy said on television. He was cleaning the family room.
"The "super blue blood moon? That means a total lunar eclipse, right?" sahut Rania while continuing to feed spinach for lunch.
"The phenomenon is more than just a regular total lunar eclipse. It is called a super blue blood moon because the event is a combination of three lunar phenomena at once" explained Mikko.
"Well, that's really cool. What phenomena occur?" ask Livy enthusiastically.
"The moon will be at its closest distance to Earth (perigee), so it looks 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. And this is a very rare occurrence. It only happens about once every 150 years" Mikko continued.
"Vih... Very cool!" sahut Livy's. "Eh, but why is his name 'blood moon'? Does it have anything to do with supernatural or mystical events?" ask Livy again.
"No, Deck. It's purely a natural phenomenon. Everything can be explained scientifically. But in various places, it is often associated with occult or mystical things. According to the beliefs of the local community," Mikko replied.
"really. The moon will be covered in Earth's shadow, making it appear reddish like blood, hence the name 'blood moon'. This is because sunlight penetrates the Earth's atmosphere and passes on red light" Bang Arka said. His breathing is a little dull. He just finished helping me mow the lawn.
"Cool, yeah. I thought because there was a "blood", there was a bloody incident like that in the witch movies?Hehe... Can we see it directly?" ask Livy.
"Ih, you cool-ass brother. Not to lose to Bang Mikko. Breathing is still bad so follow the blahin," protested Rania.
"Bright... My brother is a MIPA Physics kid. You must know things like that. Brother's not a cool ass, anyway. But it's cool" said Bang Arka.
"Eh, wait! The witch? Hmm..really also said Livy," baton Rania.
"Well... Even fighting. My question has not been answered" Livy protested, turning her lips.
"Of course you can see it directly. It will be more obvious if you use a tool. I have a simple telescope, I can lend it to you" Mikko said.
"Well, really Bang? It's very exciting." said Livy.
"I also have to stay up. If indeed the incident that happened to me was due to a mystical thing, at such a time there might be something going on," thought Rania.
"Usually the night of the full moon, new moon, one suro and so on are widely used for mystical rituals, right? So is it abroad. Certain days are used for rituals, "inner Rania again.
Duh, actually he really hated to believe such mystical things. But how else? Everything he had experienced during this one month alone was strange enough to think normally. Doesn't hurt if he tries anything else?
...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...
"Why so quiet, anyway?" qiandra.
He just got home from the party. Unlike usual, he was brought home by the Goddess. The driver, who had been waiting for him since the afternoon, told him to go home first.
His phone he turned off so as not to be disturbed phone and incoming messages. He really wanted to be free that day.
New time shows at eight o'clock. But the mansion felt like a grave. Empty bedding. Though usually the assistants are still in his house, doing their respective tasks.
"Sania," call Rania. The sound of her footsteps tracing down the stairs sounded very clear, a sign that the house was very quiet.
"Ugh, where the hell is it? My head is so dizzy. I should've had cola there, too" Qiandra complained.
She went to her room and sat down at the dresser. One by one were released accessories that stuck to his body. His body was sultry, impatient to meet the water immediately.
"Ah, where are my bathing pajamas, huh? Where's my scrub, too?" his inner. He could not find the items he needed in his bathroom.
All this time everything was prepared. He just takes a shower, eats and sleeps. Even the dirty clothes, he never knew where it was. Everyone has taken care of and cleaned up.
By force, Qiandra stepped out of the room. Explore every room and staircase in the house.
"Genny, where is Sania?" qiandra asked one of the house assistants. He usually brushes the bathroom and kitchen.
"So I saw him in his room, miss. The room is at the end of the first floor hallway" Genny replied.
"Well, Miss," replied Genny.
Qiandra came down the stairs. Down the hallway to the first floor of his house to the end.
"Where's Sania's room, anyway? He said here?" iandra. Although the equipment is provided by Genny, but he still needs his personal assistant.
One by one the door to the room he knocked. Some of the rooms are empty, uninhabited.
The housekeepers actually have their own housing, behind the main house. But some of the main personal assistants stayed in the house just in case they were needed at any time.
"Well, didn't I just walk through this room, did I?" qiandra. He remembered the passageway he passed by earlier.
Duh, Qiandra only realized that he did not memorize his own household. He doesn't even know where he is now. The house feels like a giant maze.
"I don't think my house is this big? Even I used to feel so terrible in every corner of my house. Even the secret passageway of cats and mice," inner Qiandra.
He really gave up. Never mind finding Sania's room, going back to her room she no longer knows where to go. Everything looks the same and confusing. I don't know how many rooms are on that floor.
"Feelings, the kitchen is right-wing and Sania's room is at the end of the left-wing hallway. But why didn't I find the room?" Qiandra started to panic.
The place he was now, was not passed by a single assistant. Qiandra yelled out to someone as she continued down the first floor, but there was no answer yet.
"Hey, did you all eat blind paychecks? This hour you guys are already on snoring? Why doesn't anyone tell me?" yelled, Qiandra was upset. Even if his mom and dad were there, the assistants would stay home until ten p.m.
"What room is this? It seems like I've never seen one" Qiandra murmured as she headed to a room in the corner of the hallway with a door filled with unique carvings. Beside it are classic European-style paintings.
Without hesitation, Qiandra opened the door. It turns out it's not locked. However, the room was very different from the Qiandra shadow, cold and musty smelling, even though the contents were quite neat.
"It looks like I'm in the wrong room again" Qiandra said. He actually wants to end this. But he had not found his way to his room.
"Qian," said someone. Qiandra turned body.
"By-r... Rania. Why are you here?" qiandra was surprised. In front of her stood Rania princess, wearing a full scout suit. With a slightly pale face.
"You know me?" ask the woman in front of him.
"Hey, don't mess with you. My home. I just shouted you can be surrounded by the guards," said Qiandra. Even if he himself hesitated a little. It was so lonely from then on.
"You don't want to apologize to me? On behalf of your parents?"
"What the hell, Rania? It's really weird. How did you get into my house? Is one of the security guards here your acquaintance? Who should apologize to you" said Qiandra.
His hand touched the arm of his classmate, to drag him out. However Qiandra was surprised, the girl's body was extremely cold, resembling a corpse. His body was stiff as a statue. Despite being pulled as hard as he could, the girl remained unmoved.
"You won't be able to kick me out of here until you and your parents apologize to me" Rania said. Face changed. Qiandra was immediately shocked and unconscious.
...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...
Arka, Rania and Livy sit in the front yard of his house, with pandan mats that have begun to decay. They watched the super blue blood moon, which lasted only a few minutes, with Mikko's mini-telescope.
"That's lovely. Justjust wonderful. Although a bit cloudy, but can still see," commented Livy.
Rania did not enjoy it at all. He was a little disappointed, because nothing happened. It seems like the connection between natural phenomena and the supernatural is just a myth.
But is it really so?
