Traveling to the Unseen Realm
119. Bad Feeling

As Ranvier arrived at the bottom of the stairs, Erwin immediately greeted him.

" I keep my promise now Vier.." said Erwin.

" What promise...?" ranvier asked not to understand.

" I promise to recognize a special girl in my heart. Well, know this whose name is Atika who often I tell the same story Lo..," said Erwin while glancing at Atika.

" Oh hi, Atika. Greetings to know. I'm Ranvier..," said Ranvier kindly.

" i. yes. I'm Atika..," said Atika nervously.

" Have you eaten yet?, just eat first yuk...," asked Ranvier.

" okay. Come on Yang, we eat first," said Erwin while muttering Atika's hand.

But Atika gently brushed off Erwin's hand because she felt awkward with Ranvier and his grandfather.

" Why eat anyway. The study has not started yet" said Atika.

" Gapap. That's still two hours away. While waiting for people to clean up, we can eat first..," said Ranvier.

" It's true that Ranvier said. If you have started the event later we can not eat. Not because I forgot, but because I missed it. The show continued until Maghrib. That's why we eat now. Come on, don't be shy, " said Grandpa Randu as he stepped ahead of them.

" Yes Kek..," said Atika with a smile.

While eating with Ranvier also told his experience while in the holy land. Grandpa Randu and Erwin looked enthusiastically listening. While Atika occasionally seems to steal a glance towards Ranvier.

Ranvier does not not know if his best friend's lover continues to steal his eyes towards him. At that moment Ranvier saw something strange in Atika. And he intends to convey that to his best friend later. Maybe it is related to the attitude of Mr. Atika who has not given blessing to Erwin to date his son.

After they had lunch, they prepared to welcome the guests present. Ranvier cheered happily as Ustadz Rahman and Daeng Payau came. He hugged his spiritual teacher in turn. Atika who always observes Ranvier's movements is even more amazed to see what Ranvier does.

Erwin kissed the backs of Ranvier's two spiritual masters' hands in reverence. After that he introduced Atika to ustadz Rahman and Daeng Payau.

" How's Ustadz, Om...?" greet Erwin.

" Thank God be kind..," said ustadz Rahman and Daeng Payau together.

" Oh yes, know this my friend..," Erwin said with a proud smile.

" Friend...?" daeng Payau asked with a meaningful smile.

" Yes yes, temen deket Om..," said Erwin while scratching his head that does not itch to make everyone laugh.

Then Atika followed in the footsteps of Ranvier and Erwin. But to ustadz Rahman he only cupped his palms in front of his chest because he understood how adab against the ustadz.

In just one look Daeng Payau and Ustadz Rahman can find something strange in Atika. But both of them chose to be silent because they did not want to ruin the atmosphere.

" The show is about to begin. We welcome guests in front of yuk..," Grandpa Randu.

" Good sir..," said Ustadz Rahman and Daeng Payau together and then followed Grandpa Randu into the front room.

One by one, guests began to arrive. Akmal also came with his small family. Grandpa Randu also seemed enthusiastic to welcome them. He tried to reach Andira from Amelia's arms. Although initially crying, Andira finally can laugh in Grandpa Randu's arms.

" I took Andira to the side terrace. If here you are worried about disturbing later," said Amelia when the study will begin.

" Yes, Son. Take her there and love whatever she wants. Don't hesitate yes..," said Grandpa Randu while peeking at Andira's puffed cheek.

All the male guests began to sit and teach led ustadz Rahman. While Atika sat in the middle room while observing the movements of everyone. He did not try to join Amelia who was busy nurturing her little daughter who looks active. It seems that Atika does not like children too much.

Atika had the opportunity to observe the decoration of Grandpa Randu's house. It was clear that Atika liked everything in the house. When he saw how everyone was behaving towards Grandpa Randu and Ranvier, Atika could not hide her admiration.

" Why do I have to know Erwin first. I should have known Ranvier instead of Erwin. If seen Erwin nothing compared to Ranvier..," Atika's mind was upset.

And when the study is finished inevitably Atika intervenes to help distribute the hands to the guests. Erwin seemed to smile proudly to see his lover managed to blend in with Ranvier and his family.

While being busy helping to distribute the parcels to the guests, suddenly Atika's phone rang.

Atika rushed out to receive the call and upon returning her face looked tense.

" Why, who's telephon...?" ask Erwin.

" You tell me to go home now..," said Atika.

" Some time, let's go home first. I'll take you home later, '" said Erwin.

" I went home by myself a gapapa ya Win..," said Atika.

" Eh don't dong. Ok, if so we say right now.., " said Erwin who is called Atika.

Erwin was forced to leave first because he had to take Atika home. Everyone tried to understand and let Erwin go.

" Why do I feel that Erwin's girl is weird, Pa." said Amelia.

" The time is Ma. I'm not too careful so I don't know strange where.." said Akmal.

" Maybe I was wrong. But honestly I'm not comfortable around him. Feeling I said she wasn't the right girl for Erwin." Amelia said half-whispering.

" When it's not comfortable just by yourself. Don't tell anyone. Maybe it's because we just met her for the first time, so it's not familiar. If it's about right or not, I can't interfere. Let's just say it's not right but Erwin's a match with him, what do we say. So for a while we became a good audience only first..," said Akmal sage.

" Yes Pa..," said Amelia while smiling wryly.

And it turns out 'bad feeling' Amelia and everyone against Atika was proven. After that day Atika can no longer meet Erwin. When contacted through a telephone connection, Atika never responded. And if Erwin accidentally came to the cafe to meet him, Atika also chose to hide. Of course that makes Erwin upset.

Erwin's turmoil affected his deteriorating performance at Grandpa Randu's company. Several times Ranvier had to see Erwin unfocused when spoken to. And that made his job hampered. Moreover, Erwin's status as Ranvier's personal assistant makes Ranvier very dependent on him.

To be honest, there is something that Ranvier does not want to tell his best friend. Because unbeknownst to Erwin, Atika has contacted Ranvier several times and invited him to meet. But seeing Erwin who was half depressed was inevitably Ranvier was forced to tell everything.

" Lo get rich gini because Atika ya Win...?" ask Ranvier.

" yes. I really love him. But I'm confused as to why Atika changed. Know-tau he was away from me and suddenly asked to break up. Now I think again what was wrong I until he asked to break up everything.., " said Erwin riled up.

" It's better that Lo lupain him Win. He's not good for Lo.." Ranvier said carefully.

" Say who he is is not good. You do not need to add deh Vier..," said Erwin quickly.

" If she is a good girl, she may not be a nelephon and chat I many times to meet. I'm sure you don't know about this, do you...?" ranvier asked while showing the contents of the chat on his phone.

Erwin was surprised to widen his eyes while reading the content of a friendly message sent by someone. Although Ranvier did not give the number a name, Erwin knew it was Atika's mobile number.
