The Forest Behind the House
7. Irfan's Story

Actually, Saints are indigo girls. He could see subtle creatures that ordinary people could not see. Only, the sixth sense he had was already closed by his mother, so he could not see the supernatural anymore. But, Saints could still feel their presence wherever he was.

Suci felt the presence of subtle beings in Budi's room, but he did not want to say what he felt to Budi. Suci is afraid that what he feels will make Budi disturbed. To cover up his anxiety, Suci chose to go home sooner by arguing there was homework that he had not finished, when in fact, he did not.

Saints also say goodbye to parents Budi. He rushed out of the house to avoid the negative aura that made his body feel hot. The saint walked quickly without looking left right again.

"Wait!" A voice stopped the Holy's swift pace. Suddenly, Suci immediately turned towards the origin of the voice.

"Irfan."

"Yes, it's me."

"What's wrong?" holy Tanya was confused.

During this time, Irfan was a very dislike of Saints. Irfan thought that Suci was a strange girl. Hence, Irfan was uncomfortable with the presence of Saints.

"I want to talk."

"What are you talking about?"

"Did my brother tell you something?"

"No. What's wrong?"

"There's no way my brother didn't tell you anything. You're his girlfriend" Irfan said in disbelief.

"Your gate didn't say anything to me. What's wrong?"

"Yes already if there is none" said Irfan in a resigned tone and wanted to leave Suci.

"Wait!" The saint held Irfan's hand quickly.

"Tell me what's really going on" Suci said with a curious look.

"You said my brother didn't say anything to you. So, that's the sign, everything's fine."

"Irfan, your brother didn't say anything to me, but, I feel like something's wrong here."

"What do you mean?" ask Irfan seriously.

"I feel like there's a very strong negative energy in your house, especially in your brother's room. But sorry, right now, I can't be sure if what I feel is true or not. Because right now, I can't see, I can only feel."

"Are you really able to sense their presence?" ask Irfan.

Saints looked at Irfan with a serious look. He was shocked by what Irfan said just now. Irfan said, they. That's a sign, not just one, but many.

"Tell me what your brother told you. I beg you," said Suci in a hopeful tone.

"Well, I'll tell you, but not here."

"Then where?"

"Follow me," said Irfan as he walked first.

"Why is it here?" holy Tanya was very confused.

"Can you feel the aura here?" ask Irfan back.

Suci did not immediately answer what Irfan asked, he instead walked back and forth before Irfan several times. Not only going back and forth, Saints also walked back and forth before Irfan, making Irfan look at Saints with a confused and strange gaze.

"What are you doing anyway? Very strange," said Irfan with a tone of annoyance.

"Don't ask too many questions, just look at what I'm doing."

"Dizziness I see it know not."

"It has. Don't comment too much. Justjust look. If you don't want to see don't see" said the Holy One as he continued walking.

"Basic freak. Nyesel I'm talking to you" said Irfan annoyed.

Suci did not answer, it made Irfan's heart even more upset. He decided to leave the Saints alone under the fig tree.

"Irfan wait!"

"What!" Irfan snapped with an annoyed tone.

"I'm done."

"Done?" Finish what?"

"Didn't you ask me to feel the aura early on? I've done it. You know what I feel?"

"Yes clearly not. How do I know how you feel. The one who feels it is not me" said Irfan still upset.

"I'm serious."

"alright. What are you feeling?" asked Irfan in a lazy tone.

"I feel a very strong negative aura here. Two steps forward with two steps back, it was a very different aura. Not only that, I can sense there is an enormous spiritual energy within this forest," the Saint explained.

"Wait on! Does this have anything to do with your brother?" tanya Suci just remembered what Budi experienced a moment ago.

"Is this what your brother told you?" ask the Saints again.

Irfan nodded his head slowly. The dilemma he was experiencing just a moment ago now disappeared. The doubt he felt after listening to his brother's story had now disappeared. What the saint said just now made him truly believe in his brother's story. If the forest behind the house is a kingdom of invisible creatures.

"Can you tell me what Budi told you, Irfan?" The saint looked shocked and nervous.

Irfan then told him everything his brother told Saints. With dim eyes, Suci listened to Irfan's story.

"That's how my brother told me," said Irfan sadly.

"If I can still see the supernatural, maybe I can help Budi solve the problem he is facing right now" said the Holy One as he wiped his tears.
