The Forest Behind the House
26. Second visitation

Listening to the words that Yuni had not said, Budi immediately got up from his seat. Without a word, Budi hurried to leave Yuni who saw Budi's behavior with confusion.

"Where are you going?" tanya Yuni while holding back Budi's steps by holding Budi's right hand.

"I want to talk to the Saints."

"Don't!" Yuni prevented Budi, as if she knew what Budi wanted to talk to Saints about.

"Why not? I want to tell the Saints what aunt Sarah kept secret from the Saints. I want to remind Saints that she's careful with aunt Sarah."

"Don't tell anyone this secret."

"Why not?" ask Budi pissed.

"You will endanger the life of the Holy One, if Sarah knows that her secret has been revealed, then the life of the Holy One is at stake. All this time, he kept these secret meetings away from everyone. He covered it all, that the Saints had holy blood that many greedy people like him sought."

"Then, what can I do to protect the Saints?" tanya Budi is weakening.

"I can't tell you what to do. Because it is tantamount to hurting my heart," Yuni said with a serious face.

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Sometimes you'll know for sure what the connection is."

"I don't understand."

"You'll understand someday."

Budi looked at Yuni with a clueless look. He was curious but it was impossible to force Yuni to say what she did not want to say. Budi looked, there was sadness in Yuni's eyes at the moment. Is it so much to do with Yuni that she feels sad? I can't guess about that. After all, Yuni was not human. Everything could have been a charade that Yuni made to trick her, that is what came to mind Budi at this time.

"Alright, I go first," Yuni said, throwing away all the thoughts that were playing around in Budi's mind.

"Wait!"

"What?"

"Can I play to your nature?"

"Can. With pleasure," Yuni said with a sweet smile.

"Grow your hands!"

"As usual, close your eyes!"

Be willing to do what Yuni says with pleasure. He doesn't ask much more now. To him, Yuni was now a friend. Yuni has helped a lot in solving all the problems he faces. Perhaps, if Yuni was not with him, he did not know what would happen.

"Open your eyes, you have reached my palace."

Opening his eyes, he watched his surroundings closely.

"This .. isn't this the forest behind my house" said Budi puzzled.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to take you to the magical world. Close your eyes again."

Do it without many words. When he opened his eyes for the second time, everything had changed. The forest behind the house which was once only a thick forest that was so thick, now turned into a kingdom that was so magnificent.

A kingdom so rich and prosperous. The people live well. Their clothes were all good, their house was so magnificent and luxurious. The markets are neat and clean.

Budi's second visit to the magical kingdom of Yuni. He was really impressed by what he saw. Unlike the first visit that came directly to the palace, this second visit, Yuni immediately brought Budi into the middle of the crowd aka the center of the city of his occult kingdom.

"Do you like the crowds in our city?" yuni asked when they had already left the crowd of the city.

"Lumayan."

"You can stay longer if you like. Here there is no nominal money that you should think about and worry about the lack of it. You can shop as you please. You can walk to the entertainment place without having to pay again. And .... "

"Enough. I think I'd rather live in my world. Not that it's bad here, but there, there are people I love."

"I know."

"I don't mean to let your heart down, it's just that our world is different. I can't stay here forever."

"Yes, it's up to you, I'm not forcing. Didn't I just offer?"

Yuni continued her steps into the palace. Budi could only follow without answering what Yuni said. Suddenly, he remembered on the phone he had brought before. She was afraid that she was anxious when she saw her room was empty, Budi thought to contact her mother so that she would not be anxious when she found out that she was not in the room.

Several times Budi tried to call the mother, but still, could not. He saw the left side of his phone, the network was there. Then, he tried to contact Irfan. Just as he contacted his mother, he still could not contact all of his family members.

"What's this about? Why can't it? Is my phone broken?" ask yourself.
