mysterious contract: the bond of the soul
eps. 8

the sun has returned to the place where the dispute was replaced by the dim light of the moon.looks a wooden house with a design and carving amazingly beautiful, beautiful, in it were two young people who were involved while learning they were both Andi and Aqila. both look very serious in studying for now they only read material that may appear in the exam tomorrow.in fact they have prepared some tryout questions last year to work on. but they wait for one friend who is always late and lazy.they have been waiting since 1/2 hour ago.

Raka ran towards a house and opened it without knocking first.just opened the door his body looks tense, his face looks pale and sweat still pouring profusely on his body. slowly he headed towards the bench where two people were looking at him. One person looked at him with an annoyed look and the other was flat with no expression. as he sat down suddenly a punch floated in his head.

Raka :" the pain of tau."

Andi:" who told you to be late."

Raka :"there will be sudden business, so it must be completed first."

Andi :" Oh, that's why you forgot and you're playing."

Raka:" hheheheheheheheheheh."

Raka only smiled wryly when Andi found out the reason why he was late, then she looked at Aqila for a while and turned her face back to Andi

Raka:" said the two of us. Why did Aqila come too?"

Andi:" oh he, I invited him because he must also have difficulty solving this tryout problem.so we can work it together and make it easy."

Raka:" is there no one else but him?"

yet Andi replied Aqila stood up and walked towards Raka. Although Aqila's expression looked flat but Raka looked very frightened and sweat began to flow profusely again. after being right in front of Raka, Raka, was very scared, Aqila crouched down and hit hard on Raka's stomach. Even the punch made a sound that was quite loud.Andi who saw it was expression as if he also felt the way Raka experienced. Raka who got the blow just held her stomach with resignation. her body began to limp, her stomach felt cramp and her breath felt heavy.she just sat leaning with an empty view. he looked like he had no intention of learning anymore, even like a breathing doll.

learning the group again continues, but for Raka just lying on the sofa with Aqila. due to the blow Aqila makes the desire to learn instantly disappear. Raka looks difficult to find a comfortable position to lie down because she has to share with Aqila. Raka was not comfortable with the curled sleeping position.he also saw the sitting position of Aqila who made an idea appear in his head. Raka ventured to use Aqila's thigh as a pillow so that the place she used to sleep was rather free for her back. Aqila only stared at Raka's face for a moment flatly, then she focused back on her book again.

Andi and Aqila began to try to work on the problems that had been prepared. whereas Raka only played the cellphone in his hands. Not long after Andi and Aqila had a deadlock in solving the problem. that's when Raka's role began.he would give clue or instructions to Andi and Aqila to eliminate the impasse. but when giving the hint, Raka's position was still lying with her head on Aqila's lap and playing cellphone. even give instructions without explaining and only show a part of the word or formula in question without any intention to tell in its entirety. it is intended that Aqila and Andi look for formulas or sentences intended by Raka. the purpose of Raka doing that is to make Raka and Aqila read the material or formula in detail and distinguish between the material or formula with each other so that when the test is stacked remember it.

it did not feel that the day was late at night.the clock showed at 21:05 which made them end the group's learning. after saying that Raka also walked after Aqila. Raka intended to deliver Aqila home although different directions considering the day getting late.on the way there was no talk they did. they just walked while immersed in their respective minds.

half the journey they had gone through to get to the village of Aqila. currently the road they were about to walk was a deserted road. the road is flanked by coconut and rubber plantations in which there are various types of animals. Sometimes there are tigers and leopards that pass through the plantation.

the atmosphere is so dimly lit because the moonlight is blocked by clouds. makes Raka take out his cellphone and activate the flashlight feature on his cellphone. although the road between the coastal and yellow villages looks wide even there are sidewalks, but the situation here is very quiet when the sun goes down and also the street lights are far enough apart that sometimes need extra lighting.

while in the middle of the journey there was the sound of footsteps across the road along with the sound of objects rubbing against dry leaves and shrubs.before how long appeared a black tiger that can be said small. about the size of an adult goat, such as a tiger, it knows their existence through the flashlight. Raka immediately pulled Aqila's hand trying to run away from the tiger, in fact Raka could easily defeat him. But if it had to be without a sound then it was impossible for Raka. because every opponent's injury received from Raka's attack still gives time to voice conveying the pain of the attack before dying. even if using a large force can actually make severe damage and increasingly attract the attention of the plantation animals, until one option that can be taken is to run away from it.

Raka kept running accidentally tripped and fell along with Aqila until accidentally their lips met. but because of the situation that does not allow them to be pensive and digest what has just happened let alone enjoy it. in the end they did not pay attention to the incident tried to get up and continue running away from the tiger. although the situation did not seem to give Raka many options, but in that situation Raka could still think so they ran in the direction where the yellow village was. however due to the distance from the coastal and yellow villages far they take time. moreover, the tiger was sometimes able to chase after him which made them have to dodge and somewhat turn their running direction for a while to avoid the next attack coming.

the situation started to push them. Aqila was no longer able to follow Raka's footsteps. Raka who realized that paused for a moment and positioned herself to carry Aqila with her back. Aqila immediately did it without saying much considering the situation is so dangerous.by holding Aqila Raka can freely run without the need to balance or hold Aqila who has difficulty following her steps.

Raka began to realize that he would be difficult to avoid the tiger's attack because he had not estimated the size of the body when holding Aqila. so he was afraid if the tiger attack hit Aqila. Raka also nimbly ran and jumped into the branch of the tree.he skillfully jumped from one branch to another branch even though the distance is quite far. Aqila who saw it looked shocked because in a martial or martial arts also military ability to move on the tree branch is very difficult to do. it took a long time for one to be able to jump from tree to tree casually and calmly. because he had to position the body according to the state of the branches and branches of the tree in a short time before jumping, but Raka looks very proficient in doing so.

Raka asked Aqila to look back to confirm the existence of the black tiger, but Aqila said that the tiger was not seen in the slightest. he also has to make sure the circumstances to see the situation and conditions around them, because in the wild the threat is not possible only from one creature alone. but he chose to head to the highway first, to make it easier for him to observe the surroundings.

time continued to pass until they finally arrived at the yellow village.The atmosphere of the village looked so quiet and calm. Raka also saw a clock on her phone that marked 23:20. Raka did not expect to run while avoiding the attack of the tiger would take so long.even almost reached one and a half times the usual time.when Arriving at Aqila's house he was about to leave to go home. but Aqila forbade it because it was too late to go home. tomorrow the exam will start at 09.15 because it has become a government regulation that every graduation exam must start above 08.30 and above. Raka also resigned to Aqila's decision to see his hand clenched tightly. Raka believes Aqila will hit him again if he rejects her.

Aqila and Raka also entered the house.it looks very quiet and dim because the time is late and maybe family members have slept. Raka walked tailed behind Aqila.

Raka:" Shall we tell your father that I'll stay here?".

Aqila :" he knew, for I told him you would stay here. "

Raka:" so you've been planning this?"

Aqila :" ga, but I realized that if you insist on driving me. you will pass the lonely road alone when you go home, so I immediately ask my father's permission to stay here."

Aqila also entered a room complete with a bathroom in it. Raka rushed to take a bath because her body felt sticky due to sweat when she escaped from the tiger's safety earlier.she saw Aqila come out without a word after showing the room. but Raka did not bother about it and wanted to rest immediately.

Raka had been lying down and closing her eyes, but she felt someone lying next to her that made her open her eyes and turn to the side.she saw Aqila wearing only a thin, knee-length negligee. looks Aqila only wearing shorts half thighs that are colored contrast to her negligee.See that Raka turned her body and forced to sleep. Aqila approached Raka's body wearing only knee-length shorts. Aqila hugged Raka's body from behind trying to eliminate the coldness that pierced her body. Raka who felt Aqila shivering turned her body to see the state of Aqila that she thought was crying, but when she turned her body she only realized that Aqila was cold, she hugged Aqila tightly. keeping him from the cold of the night that was about to attack his body.
