The Vampire's Wife
42

Noa was in a place that was full of fire. But it feels strange because he does not feel sultry at all.

He remembered this dream. Dreams that always come to him at certain times only.

"Don't be afraid of nduk." Said a woman with an old-fashioned barricade and kebaya. The woman had a dragon-symbol crown and her entire dress was predominantly green.

NB. Nduk is the Javanese name for girls.

The same dream. But who is he?

"You don't need to know who I'm Nduk." Noa is surprised that she has the same abilities as Lucas.

"I often dream like this but I've only seen you for the first time." Ask Noa politely.

"This is my home."

"Why am I here now?"

"Yes definitely Nduk. I'm part of your body so it should be if you're invited here once in a while." Noa frowned. He certainly felt confused by the words of a foreign woman who had just seen him for the first time.

"I don't understand Mom."

"Call me Nyai."

"Him?"

"Yes Nyai. I've been with you for a long time even though you didn't realize that. You see, Nduk, our faces look alike." Noa was dribbled towards a large mirror located at the end of the stairs without a building.

"I still don't understand." Noa was stunned because the female's face was very similar to her. The only difference is the way they dress.

"Finally Mama?" Tanya Noa stamped.

"Oh Ratih's. I used to live there too."

"Ratiha? My mother."

"Hm yes."

"Actually who are you? Brother Mama."

"I'm your Ancestor Nduk. I was taken care of to look after the drops. You're number six out of every one you've ever seen." Noa remembers the grave of her family.

"You're my family?" The woman giggled at the question Noa asked.

"Picture it that way. This is the first time, a family, twice hereditary. If your child comes down, you are also a woman. The Ratih family is very special. Even more courageous. Remember, there's Nyai here. You don't have to be afraid of what lies ahead. They were just a small enemy for Nyai especially now Nyai already have a new home candidate."

"New house candidates?" Noa asked again. The woman laughed out loud then left in front of Noa without answering the question." Nyai, don't go. Answer me first." Noa's shout circulated his gaze upwards as the woman's laughing voice sounded still echoing.

Noa's dream felt so strange that in the real world she muttered while shouting Nyai's name.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck...

"Non.. Non.. Wake." Call Bik Minah from outside the room. Bibik who accidentally passed by heard the loud gigauan Noa voice.

Without stopping, Bik Minah continued to knock on the door until Noa realized in a state of sweating.

"Well...." Noa's breath was wasted. He looked over and did not find Lucas beside him.

Geck.. Geck... Geck...

"Non.. Non Noa's. Wake up Non."

"Yes Bik." Noa answered quickly to sit up even though his head was painful. He tried to stand up to open the door.

"Gosh Non.. Sorry Bibik is worried. Not screaming until you hear Bibik." Noa massaged her temple while trying to smile." What dreams Non to such. Did Mr. Lucas not wake me up." Imbond asked.

"I forgot the Bik. What a dream." Noa tried to remember her dream but her memory couldn't reach." Mr. Lucas may be gone." Bik Minah smiled strangely at Noa's reply. Since then he sat with Bima at the guard post but did not see Lucas out.

"Yes already. Not sleeping anymore. Don't forget to pray so that you don't dream." Noa glanced at the outside window that looked still dark.

"What time is Bik?"

"12 Non. This was Bibik around to check the doors and windows maybe there is something that has not been closed, Eh Denger Non yelling."

"Hm Yes Bik Sorry. I'd better get some more sleep." Noa smiled as she closed the door slowly." He said not to go." His eyes walked to the sofa. Noa sat weakly while turning on the television. He circulated his gaze around the room that looked quiet." Scared too." He looked at Lucas's ring. Just now that Noa was about to kiss the ring to call, Lucas had already arrived.

"Why wake up." Of course Noa turned his head quickly in shock.

"I was dreaming but I forgot." Noa answered, turning her face away.

"Sleep again if so."

"For you to go again?"

"I was saying goodbye." Lucas read Noa's upset face.

"I'm sleeping again." Noa stood up but Lucas' hand held her back.

"You mad?"

"If I'm angry. Doesn't that look like a child." The ketus answer made Noa make Lucas feel confident if Noa was angry with him.

"What doesn't matter. My head is so dizzy. I need to rest." As quickly as lightning Lucas raised both hands and massaged Noa's temple.

Like a doctor. The sickening dizziness instantly disappeared instantly.

"I'm just checking things out." Lucas lirih.

"I was dizzy from that dream. Not because of you."

"Your heart even hurts." Answer Lucas quickly." Don't lie Baby. If you're upset just say annoy." Lucas wants Noa to be honest about her own feelings.

Noa let out a long breath and then exhaled gently. He looked at Lucas' face right in front of him.

I shouldn't have behaved like this.

"If you're comfortable just do it." Lucas replied smiling.

"I was just confused by my dream." Noa turned her body and automatically both of Lucas' hands were released.

"Nightmare?"

"I don't remember it one bit but I feel like I dream that way a lot." Noa tried to remember but still could not.

"Maybe you're too afraid of the reality that's in front of us."

"I'm scared but I often dream about it."

"Then what?"

"Can't you see it in my brain?" Lucas chuckled as he gently pinched Noa's right cheek.

"I can only heal, fight and escape. Reading the memory in the brain. It can't be Baby."

"Here is my dear." Without a sense of hesitation, Noa sat on Lucas' lap." I'm still sleepy. Let's sleep so that tomorrow doesn't misfire for a walk." As fast as lightning, Lucas carried Noa's body on the bed.

"Where else are you going?"

"There are so many places I want to go." Noa rests her head on Lucas' burly arm and hides her face on his neck.

"What if there's no need to bring a car."

"Whatever baby. Eum you smell so good." Noa smiled as she inhaled the strong scent of Lucas' fragrant skin." What perfume are you wearing?" The baby wants to know.

"I never wear perfume."

"But it smells so good." Lucas softly exhaled the sensation of Noa's lips occasionally sticking to the skin of his neck.

"Ugh Baby's.. Don't do that. Mine thrashed and you could get sick if he came back asking." Noa smiled and moved her lips away.

"Yes, sorry dear. Good night to sleep." Noa kissed Lucas' cheek for a while and then began to close his eyes so that drowsiness was quickly obtained.

After making sure it is safe. Elena goes into the secret room where Ana is in brackets. He smiled wryly looking at Ana who was also looking at him.

"You heard Stephen's word." The question is full of insults.

"Bad creatures don't always win Elle. I beg you not to spread hatred by using my name."

"It's up to me! I'm in control of your life and soon your son."

"You're gonna fall one day Elle. God is not sleeping."

"Make your Lord set you free!!" Answer Elena who does not believe in God. His ambition was too great to rule the throne of the kingdom so as to make him justify all means.

"He's coming to help me Elena."

"You've been locked up for hundreds of years but where's your God?" Ana was silent because she had no answer. He allowed Elena's words even though she never stopped hoping.

"He's waiting for the right time."

"Haha.. Please hope. Lucas will soon be hunted. If I get caught, I'll force Stephen to marry her to Daniella." Ana turned her head, looking at Elena with a glare of sharp eyes.

"Let Stephen know you're such a bad creature. Maybe he'll destroy you Elle."

"He won't know because he's too stupid."

"I beg Elle. Stop messing with my son's life. I was enough to be a victim. Let him choose and define his own life." Elena chuckled loudly as she stared low at Ana.

"Now he's my son."

"My son doesn't deserve to be your son. Just me the mother."

"You're considered dead so don't expect too high so your death won't hurt much." Elena left Ana with growing worries every day.

It's so sorry my son..
