Traveling to the Unseen Realm
35. Shadow Woman

For some reason after a gust of cool wind that hit his body made Ranvier feel uncomfortable. He felt himself being watched by something.

Unfortunately Ranvier did not want to talk about this with his two spiritual teachers, Ustadz Rahman and Daeng Payau. Ranvier chose to be quiet and keep it tight because he felt it was something that did not need to be taken seriously.

And during that time also Ranvier often felt something was following him. Because he felt it was not dangerous, Ranvier was indifferent.

Like that afternoon. Ranvier has just finished taekwondo training at school with Erwin. The two walked together to a bus stop not far from the school.

When arriving at the stop it turned out that the stop had been crowded with a number of students from other schools. It seems that the girls had just finished studying in a group at one of their friends' houses.

Seeing the presence of Ranvier and Erwin made the students excited. They looked at each other with meaningful smiles. Afterwards together they observed Ranvier and Erwin with longing gazes. For them Ranvier and Erwin are like oases in the desert. After a day struggling with textbooks, it was time for them to spoil their eyes a little. Especially at that time Ranvier and Erwin wore a casual fit out that made both of them look cool.

" Hey boy..," greeted one of the students bravely.

It seems that the student named Kareen was the leader of the students who were waiting for public transportation at the stop. She looks the most beautiful and dominant among them.

" Hi..," said Erwin with a smile.

" Just came home...?" ask Kareen.

" Yes..," said Erwin who was embraced by Ranvier.

" Can I contact you...?" kareen asked as she extended her hand.

" Oh can. I'm Erwin, and this is Ranvier.

" Hi Erwin, hi Ranvier. I'm familiar with I'm Kareen. This is my theme. His name is Evi, Dilla, April, Maudy and that's Chika.

Erwin and Ranvier met Kareen cs. They also had a good conversation. They throw jokes that end in laughter to make the atmosphere of the stop more crowded.

" Now I have to go back, it's not good that Maghrib is still on the road" Ranvier said as he glanced at the clock coiled around his wrist.

" Back off Vier. We've just met and talked, '" Maudy said.

" yes. Abis wants to do it again. Time to go home. Tomorrow we have to go to school. Doesn't Lo want to go home...?" ranvier asked as he looked at Maudy.

" When we usually go home after Maghrib Vier. Maghrib prayer used to be in the mosque from here. You are free also if we walk now, it will definitely be jammed and even the ends of the Maghrib prayer section. Yeah, a...?" april said as she glanced at her five friends.

" Yes...!" sahut Kareen cs.

The six girls deliberately lied in order to impress both in front of Ranvier and Erwin. In addition, they hope Ranvier wants to undo undo his intention to go home.

" Oh that..," said Ranvier while nodding.

" But if you want we can still meet again..," interrupted Erwin suddenly.

" Well, how is it...?" asked Evi innocently.

" We'll meet outside on Saturday. How, you want to...?" ask Erwin.

" Can be tuh. I agree..., "sahut Kareen cs enthusiastically.

" We need a mobile phone number. Ntar We set the meeting where and what time..," said Erwin while taking out his phone and preparing to keep the number of one of the girls in front of him.

" Pake my number aja..," said Kareen fast.

" Ok..," said Erwin.

" But not both Win. If you can also ajakin other Lo temen to add more exciting..," pinta Kareen.

" Any....," said Erwin with a smile.

After the bus carrying Ranvier and Erwin drove, Kareen cs also seemed to cheer happily.

" G*la, I never thought I'd meet a cool guy here...!" chika said with a smile.

" right. Ga nyesel went home late..," said Dilla.

" Erwin and Ranvier are both cool. But Ranvier was just for me." Kareen said suddenly.

" Yeahhh. Don't be so excited about Lo...!" kareen's five friends are upset.

" I'm the one who met them the first time. So I have the right to choose who will be my guy. Not so the contents of our unwritten agreement, do not pretend to forget yes...!" kareen pretended to be angry.

" Yes deeehh..," said the five friends of Kareen resigned.

Kareen seemed to laugh at the attitude of the five friends. He tried to comfort his five friends.

" You guys just calm down. Kan Erwin promised to meet again on Saturday tomorrow. Who knows if any of them would fit in with you. So fair right...?" ask Kareen.

" Oh yeah. Okay, we have to relax Ranvier for Lo Reen. Ntar if you are already bored do not be thrown away, love to I aja. The origin is Ranvier, I want to know even if the guy is a former girlfriend Lo..," said Maudy with a serious face.

" Yes, done. But this time you have to be patient, because I am sure you will not be the same Ranvier..," said Kareen while laughing at the laughter of the other four friends.

Hearing Kareen's reply made Maudy a little upset and then threw her gaze in another direction. Maudy smiled as she watched the anticipated city bus approach.

" Eh, the bus is coming. Come girls...!" bring Maudy.

Kareen and four other friends rushed to get ready to welcome the bus they were about to board. Without them realizing behind them appeared the shadow figure of a teenage girl standing stiff while staring angrily at them.

The figure of the woman disappeared along with the passing of the bus that took Kareen cs away from the place.

Kareen arrived home as the clock showed at eight p.m. She greeted her mother at the door.

" Assalamualaikum Ma.., "greet Kareen reluctantly.

" Wa alaikumsalam Kareen's. Just got home, kid. It's eight o'clock" said Mama Kareen.

" Yes you know. The streets are jammed Ma. That's why I'm late until home.." said Kareen while opening his shoes.

" You don't have to lie to Reen. Mama telephon Ulfa. He said you and your friends have been home since half-five. Home time at this hour. The journey from there to here is twenty minutes. Plus it jammed for at least forty minutes. Why is the clock so new until home ?. You love to lie to Reen...!" mama Kareen was angry.

" What the hell is Mama !. I'm tired of Ma, why Mama even makes a fuss. Instead of being greeted with a smile, this was even scolded. The rich gini who made me go home...!" kareen said as she took a quick step into the room.

" Look...!" call the mama loud but Kareen doesn't care.

The girl went into the room while slamming the door. After locking the door, he threw his bag in any direction. Kareen was upset that she had to fight with her mother again.

Then Kareen grabbed her phone out of her pocket. He opened the photo gallery to see his moment together with his friends today.

Kareen's smile expanded as she looked at the photo of Ranvier and Erwin she had taken secretly earlier. Kareen rubbed Ranvier's face with the tip of her fingers.

But something surprising happened. Suddenly Kareen felt pain at the end of her fingers. When he noticed, his fingertips seemed to tear and bleed.

" What blood. There could be blood. Where it hurts again..," muttered Kareen while wiping her fingers with tissue.

Kareen rushed to the bathroom to clean up the blood flowing from the tip of her fingers. As Kareen flashed, a black shadowy figure seemed to be entrenched in the corner of his room while smiling sinisterly.
