Trapped in Ramadhan
Part 22 - Bright Light

...Bright Light...

17 Ramadan. Nightly.

Have you ever been in a situation where you weren't needed at all? A situation where you shouldn't be involved at all, but you're dragged into it. Even if it's not your wish. Such a situation is exactly what I am currently experiencing. And this is really upsetting.

I followed Dwi as I aimed to absorb all the information from her phone relating to the mysterious Invisible Hero, who was most likely a Jin Nation like me. But I instead had to watch a dinner between Dwi and the beautiful woman who had married in the woman's house in one of the housing complexes in the East called Dua Cahaya. Not suitable for the name of the housing complex, yes I agree.

As the Dark Jin. ah. errat, as the Bright Jin, I am indeed often in situations that I should not be in. But believe me, watching a cheating couple happily eat the same menu at the same table while exchanging meaningful views... This is the worst! That's why I decided to get out of this house.

Not that I gave up on my goal to absorb the information from Dwi's phone, just that I felt this was not the right place and time. So I'll wait for Dwi until the business is done, then I'll follow her again, and hopefully the next stop will be where she lives. So when the human is asleep, I will freely absorb the information from his phone. Jahaha....

Now I am in an empty security guard post at the entrance gate of the housing. When I walked into this small building I also did not see many houses with signs of human inhabitants. It looks like this housing complex is still not much populated. Most of them are not at home. The situation is very supportive for the young wife who left her husband to invite his young affair. Basic man and all his cunning.

After five minutes I waited at the security guard post, only one motorbike passed through the gate. Two humans with all-black appearance who drive into the housing complex. After the two men, no one else entered or exited the housing complex for the next few minutes. That makes me really bored.

I started thinking about my life. The genie is trapped between humans. And now I'm dragged into a human problem that has absolutely nothing to do with me. I began to question my position in this world. I started to feel unsuitable anywhere. I don't know where I'm supposed to be.

I started focusing on my mind and ignoring what was around me. Soon everything around me faded and my mind became completely empty of this world. Then the same thing that I had experienced when I was in the courtyard of Al-Alim Mosque now happened to me again. I could feel the great energy coming from a distance. But the difference I felt this time was not the human darkness that manifested into a black Aura. But it was a very bright and warm light whose image appeared clearly in my mind.

What I'm actually experiencing now is a picture that appears like radar in my head. I could see a red spot where I was. And all around me is a white void. Then another bright spot appeared that was a long distance away from me. Maybe if measured by comparison of the actual distance, the bright spot was about five kilometers from me towards the North. It's far enough, but it feels so close.

Although it was only the first time that I detected a huge energy manifesting into this Bright Light. But somehow the warmth felt familiar even from this distance. And as I focused more and more on clarifying the image in my head, my mind seemed drawn to the Light. Drifting as far as a few kilometers approaches a source of warmth, attracted like metals and magnets.

As soon as I got closer, then the bright light displayed its true form. Very clearly, I now saw another figure of the Bright Jin. The fire-haired female genie I accidentally bumped into during the Jin War before Ramadan. I can hardly believe it. But his figure that was emitting golden light was so clearly visible. And then suddenly... I felt another huge energy from behind me! This time it was the negative energy of the humans. The huge black aura pulled me very quickly away from the Light back to the starting point like a black hole in space sucking up an asteroid. And along with that, I could hear very clearly...

"Please!!!!"

I just realized, still confused and do not understand what just happened. So, when the same motorbike carrying the two black-clothed humans I had seen before entered the housing complex was now coming out at high speed along with the black Aura coming out from the bodies of both of them, I don't think anything bad just happened. Then as soon as I heard the same cry for help, I immediately ran towards the direction where the voice came from.

I was shocked as soon as I reached the building which was the source of the female screams I heard, which was none other than House No.22. The same house that Dwi visited, and the Woman who cried out for help were the same women that Dwi met. The woman was holding a crying baby. But the reason for the hysterical scream was not because of the Baby, but because Dwi was currently falling down with what looked like a stab wound on her back.

Instantly a terrible scenario occurred in my mind. The cut on Dwi's back was most likely caused by one of the two black-clothed humans I had seen. Time, black Aura, and those in a hurry, all matched up. Maybe they're about to steal at No.22's. If true, that means this incident happened because of my negligence. I could have prevented this bad event from happening if I kept a close eye on Dwi. But now there are humans who are hurt because I choose to ignore them. My mistake.

The housing complex was deserted, and as I moved quickly, I was the first to reach No.22. But a few moments later came another human who is another resident in this housing complex. There was a Grandma with her granddaughter who was still a child. Other women who are pregnant. And the man in the uniform of the Security Guard who was as guilty as me for disappearing from his Post and allowing the vehicle barrier to ride that allowed foreign vehicles to enter the housing complex until this tragedy occurred. Whatever the reason the security guard left his post, it must be good. But I'm sure he'll be fired soon for his negligence.

The other humans who came to No.22's house looked shocked and confused by what they saw. But the woman who had shouted hysterically became calmer when she saw the arrival of her neighbors. He explained briefly his house was visited by robbers, who fled after attacking Dwi. Then after the neighbors understood the situation, He asked the Grandmother to help take over carrying the Baby from her arms. And as soon as the elderly woman held and tried to calm the crying baby, the Homeowner asked Grandma's Grandson to come with her. The girl was about 10 years old and followed the woman who owned the house to another room in the house. Shortly after they returned, the owner of the house brought a basin of clean water and the Girl carried a box with P3K readings on it.

The woman rushed to open a P3K box containing first aid equipment to treat the wound. He took out scissors to cut the short-sleeved white shirt that was attached to Dwi's body, from the back collar to the lower shirt that passed through the waist. After the shirt was revealed to the left-right, there was a fresh wound on Dwi's right back that was slightly tilted to the middle. The woman then took a clean cloth pressed gently into the wound to stop the bleeding.

"Hold it..." The Woman said as Dwi grimaced when her wound was pressed.

Then after pressing for a long time until the bleeding stopped, the Woman washed Dwi's wound by pouring clean water that was taken from the basin with a cup.

"Hold it..." Say the Woman again as Dwi moans.

After she finished cleaning the wound, she wiped it before applying antibiotics to the wound and finally wrapped it with a bandage. While He was giving treatment to Dwi's wounds, suddenly pieces of information about him flowed into me. I soon learned that when I was a teenager, she spent her education studying at Nursing School. And I also know his name... Aide.

Seeing Aidah and Dwi triggers something in me. For the umpteenth time I was drawn back to my memory pieces, the memory pieces from the Two-wheeled Guild Leader that were inside me to be more precise. I accidentally slashed my fingers while cutting vegetables in the kitchen. And a girl with me, a black-haired girl I've seen repeatedly in other memory pieces. He looked at me with an expression that stated; What did I say? It was as if he had predicted something like this would happen and had warned me before. But he wasn't angry with me, just upset about being ignored. Even so he still helped me clean the wound in the clean water flowing from the tap before finally wrapping my finger with plaster.

I watched the finger on my left hand awkwardly, because the plaster used to wrap my wound was a bright floral patterned plaster. When I turned to the Girl, it was obvious that she was holding back a laugh. I decided to open this plaster that didn't fit me at all, but he held me down and told me it was the only plaster left. So, I received a bright floral plaster to stick longer on my finger. The girl smiled too. Somehow being nearby provided warmth, and her sweet smile also felt like a bright light in the middle of the darkness. Warmth and a bright light that feels familiar.
