The Forest Behind the House
27. Floral

Yuni who was a few steps ahead of Budi felt sorry for Budi. He looked back to talk to Budi who was confused at this time.

"That thing isn't broken, it's just that what you bring from the human world won't work in our world. Unlike what you bring from our world, everything will function in the human world."

"What time?"

"If you don't believe me, just bring a flower in my garden. The flower smelled very fragrant, although all the members of your family could not see the flower, but they could definitely smell the scent of the flower."

"Alright, I'll try later," said Budi still unsure.

The park is so beautiful. Budi was not satisfied just by looking at it, he wanted to capture the atmosphere he saw in this park.

Again, what he did was in vain. His phone was unable to capture the beauty of this neatly arranged garden. The ones caught by the camera of his phone were just dark, all black.

Many times he did this, but still he could not. All he saw in the photo was black.

"I told you, you can't use that thing here" Yuni said with a smile.

"But why? Don't I just want to take a picture."

"That thing won't work here. Because this is not the visible realm, while the thing you bring from your world is the thing that is only used in your world."

Budi didn't really understand what Yuni was saying. But all he knew, his phone would not be able to use as long as he was in this magical world.

It's time to go home. Yuni led Budi to the front of the gate. I don't know how long you've been in the supernatural, nor do you know. For all he knew he did not spend the night in this supernatural realm.

"God, take this home!" yuni said while handing over a pink flower.

"What flower is this?" ask Budi confused.

"This is the flower in my garden. This flower cannot be seen by your family members, but they can smell it. That way, you can prove that what you bring from my realm you can use in your realm."

You receive pink flowers that look more like roses but are not. The flower has only one layer of petals while the rose has many. But indeed, the flower was very fragrant in smell. Just holding it has smelled the smell of fragrance, has not been smelled directly into the nose, maybe the smell of perfume will be inferior to the fragrant smell of this pink flower.

"If you need material, you just say it. Then what you need you'll soon get."

"Can I ask for something other than materials?"

"What do you want other than material?" ask Yuni back.

"none. I'm just asking."

"If you want glory, strength, and power. Then you can also ask for it," Yuni said seriously.

"Oh no, I don't need any of that."

"But ... Why are you offering all that to me now?" tanya began to suspect.

"What happened to my birthday?"

"I have to go now. Good bye."

Yuni disappeared from Budi's sight. As Yuni disappears, the forest behind the house returns to its original form, that is, a bush forest that has nothing but shrubs.

My mind is still filled with question marks. Yuni's attitude was so different from usual. Budi felt the strangeness of the words Yuni had just said.

"Dragon!"

The loud voice made Budi aware of where he was at this time. Quickly, Budi turned his head towards the origin of the voice that called his name just now.

"Irfan."

"Where have you been, Bang? Mama is very worried about your current situation," Irfan said in an annoyed tone.

"I ... I .. ah, never mind, do not talk about it again. Now, where's mama?"

"Mama at home. He's not feeling well. He was so anxious to think of you who left without saying goodbye first. Can you not create panic in our family, Bang?"

"Yes, I was wrong, I'm sorry. Next time, I won't worry you anymore" said Budi feeling so guilty.

Budi understood what Irfan felt, even though his words hurt Budi a bit, but it felt appropriate for Irfan to say that to him. Budi did not want to take heart with the words of Irfan just now, he chose to smile while stepping ahead of Irfan who stood upright while looking at him.

"Bang, wait!"

"What's wrong?" ask Budi confused.

"What is this?"

"Don't you?"

"Yes. I smelled a very fragrant smell when you passed me."

"That stinks of flowers."

"flower?"

"Where did you actually come from, bang?" ask Irfan again.

"Later I'll tell you. Now, there's something even more important that I want to finish. Where's papa?" ask Budi.

"Papa .. at home."

"Oh." Budi answered briefly while stepping leaving Irfan who was confused.
