ALAS ROBAN [END ]
SHY AWAY

After knowing the truth, Tantri behaved more calmly when dealing with Azam. He tried to make Azam as comfortable as before. At least, if the distance between them had been removed, Tantri would have been easier to approach Azam while trying to revive him. As it turns out, Tantri's actions invite the anger of Ayu who finally came back into her dream. This time, without making small talk, Ayu came to Tantri and showed a bad face apparently to make Tantri scream hysterically before later, waking up from her nightmare.

Tantri gasped for breath, her body feeling limp. He did not think that Ayu's figure really wanted to keep him away from Azam. Tantri grabbed the glass on the nightstand and downed the white water inside. Just as her breathing roar returned to normal, Ayu's figure appeared before Tantri precisely, making the girl inching backwards while covering her face with a blanket. Not until there, Ayu continues to launch interference by standing still floating there. Waiting patiently for Tantri, she opened her blanket.

"Let'soooooo!"

Tantri shouted when she found Ayu's figure still floating there. Seeing Tantri frightened made Ayu laugh with satisfaction while making threats.

"Don't force me to do anything worse than this! just go! leave Azam!" kecam Ayu's.

Tantri nodded her head as she heard the sound of laughter. A few moments later, Ayu's figure disappeared. Relieved, maybe that's how it is now, Tantri felt. Unfortunately, this did not last long because, the figure of Ayu still often disturbing Tantri to make Tantri's psyche disturbed. In fact, his parents specifically came from Surabaya to pick up his daughter home. Of course, they felt all the strangeness of his daughter to decide to come and how surprised they were when they found Tantri who had almost gone crazy.

The latest news that Bima received, psychic Tantri gradually recovered while in Surabaya and stayed away from Azam. This also became a strong warning for him not to interfere about the problems of Ayu and Azam. Even so, he did not have the heart to see his friend who increasingly looks like an undead. Azam's attitude was very different from his usual personality. Too anti-social, cold and sometimes seen talking alone. One or two of their co-workers started gossiping behind Azam but Bima, trying to defend her friend. Bima also realized that what he did was wrong but he, had no other choice.

Some smart people that Azam's parents hired, no one has been able to resuscitate him. Bima himself was afraid to act because of Ayu, pressing him in such a way that Bima did nothing. As a result, in the midst of his despair, Bima contacted his brother, Rayyan. Like a person who has broken up, his mind is really hurt to see his friend who is now in the shackles of the genie who claimed to be named Ayu it . Bima really doesn't understand. According to him, the punishment Azam received was not worth his mistake. Bima is confused, why does Ayu seem reluctant to let go? was the mistake that Azam made so fatal? however he thought, Bima still considered that it was not worth it.

"The problem isn't that simple, Bim" Rayyan replied at the end of the call.

"What do you mean?"

"It seems, this is no longer a matter of punishment but.."

"But what?"

"Haiiisss, look at it. This is what I think. Seeing what happened to Azam, it seems that Ayu's figure really likes him and if this is true then, he will not let go of Azam easily. He'll keep snaring it till the end."

...Degs.....

"You mean, Azam will always be like this? Now, it's starting to be considered crazy especially if it lasts longer than this."

"Dog.."

"Hmm?"

"I mean more than this."

"What?"

"If it's true as I thought then, doesn't rule out the possibility that Ayu will pull Azam into his dimension?"

...Deg......

Bima rounded for a moment, like being struck by lightning hearing Rayyan's words.

"No way, no way, they're different worlds."

"Crazy, this is the craziest thing I've ever heard."

"Find the smart Bim, before it's too late!"

"Hows it? over where? that figure of Ayu kept watching me. I can't move a bit and another one, Azam's girlfriend emm. Her ex-boyfriend was once driven mad by Ayu."

"Crazy?"

"Yes, he tried hard to resuscitate Azam who finally made Ayu terrorize him to go crazy."

"Now how is he? where is he? hospitalized in a Mental Hospital?"

"No. It seems, Ayu just wants her boyfriend to give up so that when her boyfriend is brought home to Surabaya, her condition recovers slowly. Of course, he would not dare to approach Azam again. His parents would have banned."

"True, are you unwilling to choose the path like the one the girl took?"

"What do you mean? just now you asked me to find a smart man, why now ask me to give up?"

"You already know the answer Bim. Look what happened to Azam's girlfriend! then look at your family! get rid of your ego and just give up. How big is Azam's service to you until you're willing to risk it all? how sad would your mom and dad be if you...?"

"Yes-yes I understand. I won't be rash. I'll consider carefully before I act."

Rayyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can only warn you Bim. Don't take the wrong step!"

"Yes I know."

...🍂🍂🍂...

At work, Azam's attitude is increasingly worrisome. Like when he was in Jepara, several times he was seen eating alone in the cafeteria but as if he was chatting with someone. Bima knew very well that Azam was with Ayu but other colleagues, considering Azam began to be insane, just like Tantri. In fact, some think further, he thinks what Azam is now experiencing is the use of Tantri's shipment because heartache has been decided unilaterally.

Once, the personnel manager at their place of work approached Azam. Trying to get him to talk and ask what he was doing? why does he speak alone and allow Azam to tell his story freely if there is a heavy burden that he is feeling. Unfortunately, instead of getting a warm welcome, the personnel manager actually bounced suddenly from his chair. All eyes were on him. While that Personnel Manager could only stare in astonishment. He felt that his body was being thrown down by something very strong but he, unable to see it.

"You.. You have a genie's pet, huh Zam?"

The question just made the employees swallow. However, many eyes see.

"No, the father who sat down was not right. Don't blame it or speculate!" answer Azam.

This incident ended later but the story continues to all corners of the company. Not a few employees who began to keep their distance from Azam.
