MENACE

"When did Azam start to know Ayu?" ask mom Bima.

"It's only been a few days now."

"Nothing happens to be boy. If it's true as you said, I'm worried that Azam is being targeted. It doesn't make sense if it's just a nosy prank on Azam because, Ayu's figure continues to come to Azam and more and more days of deep interaction between them."

"But why? what made Ayu look for Azam?"

"Perhaps, Azam did something that disturbed the figure."

Bima was silent trying to remember what Azam might have done. Unfortunately, Bima could not find anything. Everything looks natural. Other than the supernatural disturbance during their return trip, nothing else was suspicious.

"Mother is so scared son because you can also see that figure. I'm worried that she's also .."

"Don't think of anything! no one is after Bima. Quite the contrary, Bima was confused now. What should Bima do to Azam?"

"Tough kid because of this, can not be proven by the naked eye. Moreover, Azam continued to evade and defend the figure. If it goes on, it could be your friendship that's ruined."

"Bima also thinks like that buk. Hemm... How about Bima tell Azam's parents?"

"Husst ngawur you! what evidence do you have and how do you prove it? instead of helping even you, it could be the accused who deliberately slandered their child."

"Then, how should Bima?"

"Mother is also confused, this kind of supernatural problem, complicated."

Bima took a long breath. To be honest, his mind was struggling, Bima could not let his friend stay there any longer. He was eager to awaken Azam who inexplicably became their target.

"Just pray for Azam to come to his senses, act as usual while slowly persuading him or if you can, better not go too deep again! I know that you are good friends since childhood but, I do not want you to be dragged into a maelstrom of problems that could cause big problems later.

Seeing the face of her mother who was so worried, Bima then calmed down by saying that she, would not interfere more deeply. His mother nodded in relief hearing Bima's reply.

...🍂🍂🍂...

In anxiety, Bima decided to send a short message containing an apology to Azam. Bima admitted his mistake while making a fuss at Ayu's house. Gayung together, Azam replied to the message and forgave Bima. While Bima, again could only sigh long before then put his phone on the nightstand while trying to close his eyes.

The next day, curiosity approached Bima. As a result, he decided to try to look back at Ayu's house located on the land of Mr. Hasan. Bima thought, the day is still bright, there is nothing to fear. Unfortunately, Bima was even surprised not kepalang when he found Ayu's residence lost only overnight. Bima was stunned long enough while remembering, did he miss something or the location of his house is wrong?

"This is Hasan's land, right? last night, Ayu's house was here, right?" ask Bima to herself.

His forehead was furrowed, his eyebrows were almost fused together. Bima seemed to think hard before then, he felt sure that Ayu's house was right, being there last night.

"Comebody! really wretched! Ayu is not really human. Azam.yeah Alloh Azam.."

The feather bristled instantly and Bima turned around, walking back home. At home, many brothers far away who came to make his fear distracted.

...🍂🍂🍂...

At night, Bima dreamed of meeting Ayu who was wearing yellow clothes. Looks beautiful with her hair left free. Ayu reviewed a line of smiles on her lips while looking straight at Bima. While Bima, just stand still without giving any response. After a while staying in that position, Ayu finally opened her voice.

"I know that you must have known it" said Ayu opened the conversation.

Bima is still silent.

"As you may think, I am not a human being but, what can you do?"

"Sway Azam!"

Hearing Bima's words, Ayu smiled again to show a little row of teeth neatly arranged.

"What's your reason for bothering my friend?"

"Bima, my purpose for coming is to warn you. I know, you wouldn't dare to clash with me if we faced each other face to face then, here I am, meeting you."

"Mom, don't interfere too much! enough's enough! you think you survived because of what? it was because of my mercy. So far, I've still let you. Is not my kindness enough?"

"Omong empty!"

Bima's impact made Ayu rounded, holding back anger while changing her beautiful appearance to ugly, which no doubt made Bima afraid until she woke up from her dream. His breathing was irregular. Bima woke up with great fear.

"You why Bim? nightmare?" asked his brother, Rayyan, who was staying at his house that day.

Bima shook his head, unable to tell a story.

"Want a drink?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Now, drink slowly!" rayyan said as she extended a drink.

Bima grabbed him while nodding her head.

"Drink!"

Once again Bima nodded.

..."Glek. glek.."...

Bima drank slowly.

"Thank you!" bima said later.

Rayyan moved her chin a little nodding and then went back to sleep in bed. Initially, Bima hesitated to tell a story or not but then, he was disturbed because his dream continued to be imagined to make Bima, unable to rest quietly. This is also what finally provoked Rayyan's curiosity to then question him.

"What are you thinking Bim? since you woke up from that dream, you've been restless."

"I'm..."

"News! sharing the burden can make you feel lighter."

"That's ..."

"Ohya, I remember something. Just now, when you came back from the outside, I saw a woman following you."

...Degs.....

"Who?"

"That's it, who? he bowed constantly, just want me to ask you, eh he glanced and look his face was destroyed. Some of the skin on his face was flaking. It was full of ulcers and there was still fresh blood there. Her hair is like this, waist-length. From there I'm sure that you're being followed by a subtle creature."

"Is he still here?"

"Udah really, after showing his ugly face, he disappeared. Had been shocked anyway, want to tell you but again many brothers earlier. Long time to forget."

"Yan, that woman you saw, who appeared in my dream just now."

"Huh? how can? what does it have to do with you being with him? or maybe she likes you."

"I don't know what that has to do with me but if you like me, it doesn't seem like it. Based on what he said, I think he hates me. The bad news is, he's after my friend."

Rayyan confirmed her view.
