THEY'RE ALL MY FRIENDS
Aruni Kidnapped!

I'm nodding. "The one sleeping here, right? Don't come home early like this, look."

"No nduk, the mother and budhemu had prepared a guest room for eyang. Besides, the princess was already told earlier that she stayed here."

"Oh so, all right."

"Where are these two boys going to sleep?" Ask Kukun.

"This discourse, yes time will sleep together with Aruni." Chirps Sander.

"Sanderrr, you're this!" I glanced sharply at Sander.

"Hehe, bro pis."

"Yes Run, me and Alif sleep on this couch." Mas Genta.

"Well, I'll get you a pillow and blanket."

"Thank you." Say Genta mas and Alif mas simultaneously.

"Remember, yes, if you make out. You're both oranges, orange time drink!" Chirps Sander.

"Hey just haphazardly you're talking!" Sahut mas Genta did not accept.

"Yes, we are normal. We still and will still love women, not oranges!" Timpal mas Alif.

"Yes, love the same woman, that is Aruni, hahaha." Speak to my four magical friends while darting towards my room.

At once the faces of Mas Alif and mas Genta became reddened with embarrassment from the words of my magical friends. I just looked down and held back the laughter.

Eyang shook his head. "Yes, we went to the room first."

"Yes, heck."

"E-em then wait a minute, yeah, I'll get you a pillow and a blanket first." I rushed to the room to get a pillow and a blanket.

"D-yes." Mas Genta and Mas Alif look nervous.

"Here, good rest." I gave her two pillows and two blankets.

"Thank you, have a good rest, too, Aruni." Answer the two of them together and I answer with a nod of my head.

Today I have started to take a day off, because all the exams have been completed, just waiting for the results of the exams to be announced next week.

My mom and dad gave me a few university options, but I don't know if I'm a little bit excited about continuing my education for now. Not that I don't want to go to college, but for now I'm trying to clear my brain of hehe.

"So how do you choose which university?" Ask dad to me.

I snorted at Dad's question. "Oh well, Aruni has not chosen a single university that father and mother have recommended."

"Why don't you, you have your own choice? If you have your own choice, it's okay." Timpal.

"Wouldn't that be mom, can't Aruni go to college next year?"

"Next year? But why Aruni, father and mother have prepared savings for you to go to college, so you don't have to worry about the cost." I looked at him with an unusual look.

"Aruni tau, but this is not about the cost of the father, Aruni wanted to take a short break with the world of education. During this one year, Aruni will use it to refresh the brain as well as the mind."

"Whatever you say is nduk, confused father is the same way of your mind!" Dad went out of the house.

"Mother.." I looked up at my mother for approval.

Mom shrugged her shoulders while shaking. "Actually I know what you choose is best for you, but it all depends on your father."

"Then from that, I convinced Dad yes. Aruni beg mother." I clasped mom's hand.

"Mom worked, but didn't promise it would work." Mom stroked my hair and then went into the kitchen leaving me alone.

"If anything is not in accordance with the heart would want to walk aja males, anyways I did not say do not want to go to college anyway, just delay one year only. If anything is forced, it won't be." My gertutuku in my heart.

Suddenly all four of my magical friends showed up.

"You look moody, what's up?" Ask Uwo-uwo.

"Just a difference of opinion with dad."

"So, oh yes, we met Eyang."

I scrunched my forehead. "Why didn't you say anything there?"

"Hehe didn't have time, it was the eyes that called us through inner contact." Answer Cong-cong.

"What's wrong?" My toot.

"It seems like he has a premonition that Ki Braha will start attacking you again, Run. Therefore we are asked to be more vigilant and strict when taking care of yourself." Answer Uwo-uwo.

"Is that perhaps one of the signs of Ki Braha?" Guess Sander.

"Could it be?" Kukun said doubtfully.

"I'll say it's possible."

"For sure we should be more vigilant now, he can appear at any time. But I think it's very likely that he attacked Aruni while he was alone."

"True, you Run, don't try to go alone without our escort. Don't rue like that time, we're so lost!" Cong-cong spoke with a serious face.

"Yes Cong yes, at that time I did ngeyel. I'm sorry, next time I won't do it again, I will."

"Good then, you're all grown up so don't be all your own, Run." Sander.

"When have I ever wanted to be all my own, huh?!" I folded my hands together on the chest.

"When ugly Braha suddenly attacked you, what was it called if not all you wanted, huh?"

I squinted my eyes.

In the evening I sat in the house reading a novel I bought with Anin the other day. Syahdu night air coupled with the sound of crickets are earthy with each other, adding to the comfortable effect of lingering in the home.

While my magical friends were in the back shed, I didn't know what they were doing, I didn't know. When I was reading a novel about a third of the whole, suddenly my hair brimmed.

I don't know, I haven't felt this kind of thing in a long time. Usually if there are subtle beings approaching me, I never feel anything like this. Except when I'm around, oh no!

Slub up!

Suddenly a light came into my body and suddenly knocked me unconscious. A moment before that...

"Akhhhh please!!"

Uwo-uwo, Cong-cong, Sander, and Kukun looked at each other, making sure the sound they heard was true or not.

"Aronie?!" Compact their four.

"Gosh, what happened to him?" Uwo-uwo rushes towards the terrace and is followed by Cong-cong, Sander, and Kukun.

"Damn!!" Shouted Uwo-uwo.

"What's the matter Wo, where's Aruni? Wasn't he here reading a novel?" Sander.

Uwo-uwo. "We're cheated again."

"What do you mean?" Cong-cong looked at Uwo-uwo seriously.

"Aruni kidnapped!" Uwo-uwo lirih.

"What?! How come?"

"Bau Ki Braha is still smelled by me, I'm sure he did this."

"Then where is Aruni now?" kukun's eyes were filled with tears mixed with blood.

"My guess is, he brought Aruni into the realm of jinn."

"Wait what else, let's save Aruni now." Sander.

"Don't be in a hurry, we'll meet Eyang Guitarja first. We have to tell him." Uwo-uwo.

The four magical friends of Aruni rushed flying towards the residence of the Guitarja. After the four of them died, Aruni's mother came out of the terrace to call the princess to dinner together.

But in reality, the princess was not in the house. There was only a novel lying on the floor that Aruni had just held.

"Where is he, why is his novel allowed to fall carelessly in the light." Ibu Aruni searched around the house.

Feeling that his daughter was not in the house area made him panic, he was worried that something happened with his only daughter.

"Mas, mas Sena. Mother, mbak Ratih.." Shouted Aruni's mother as she entered the house while carrying a novel.

"What's wrong with you, why do you look so worried?" Ask Aruni's father.

"Aruni, Aruni does not exist. Aruni's missing!!" Aruni's mother cried a mouthful.

"WHAT?!"
