CHAPTER 17 (Day of Ariana)

Clarissa Wiradmadja (part 6)

Right now, I don't know where I'm at. It's all dark and I really can't see anything. I never liked the darkness. That's because, when it's dark, all the forms of astral beings are getting clearer in my eyes.

The last thing I remember was, I heard someone call my name when Aldora and Rana were busy talking to Ariana. I tried to find out who actually called my name, after looking to and fro I finally found the source of the voice. And it turns out, the direction of the sound came from a large mirror in front of a cafe, located right behind Ariana. Well, I can move to a realm I don't recognize because of Ariana.

"Clarissa ... help me!" shouted again.

Out of curiosity, I tried to focus my hearing and vision more on the mirror. When I started to focus, suddenly appeared a figure whose face was exactly with Ariana. However, his facial expression was very sad and moody. That figure was very different from Ariana who was currently in front of me.

"Please help me, Clarissa ..."

"Who are you?" my question is to use the mind.

"I'm Ariana."

"I know you're Ariana. But you are just a shadow, are you the one called Jin Qariin? A genie who from birth has always been side by side with humans?"

"No. I'm not a creature like you said I was. I really am Ariana. And she, not Ariana. I'm the real Ariana."

"To be honest, I don't understand what you're saying. You-" my words stopped. The eyes of Ariana, who was in front of the three of us, glanced at me. And at that very moment, for some reason my soul was immediately limp and my body seemed to be pulled, then in an instant I was already in a realm filled with darkness.

*_*ALGE*_*

I feel like there is something strange about this nature. Usually, if I am in a very dark place, all the subtle creatures in that place begin to approach and show their very diverse figure. The average person was all curious as to why there was a human inside them. But the nature I live in is different now. I did not see any of the creatures of this nature.

"Hello .. excuse me ..."

Silent.

Never mind looking at the figure, the voices were not even heard at all in my ears. Well, except my own voice.

This place is completely quiet.

"Excuse me. I'm Clarissa. I won't interfere. But can any of you show up? I can interact with you."

Still remain silent.

"I'm sorry if my arrival confused you, honestly my condition is the same as yours. I don't know this place."

I kept talking, even though I knew that no one would answer a question or respond to me. I was thinking, maybe by starting to say hello, they would be interested and then come out of their hiding place.

"Clarissa .. are you Clarissa?" suddenly there was a voice that came out of nowhere. And he knows my name.

"really. I'm Clarissa. You who? Are you a resident of this nature?"

"I'm Ariana, Clarissa. Right now, I am a resident of this nature. No one lives in this world but me."

Could it be Ariana's reflection in the mirror? Why the more days, the more my head can't absorb well. I'm getting confused. She always called herself Ariana. I know she's Ariana. But strangely, he said that in front of me and my friends was not the real Ariana.

I'm trying to remember if there are some facts I can get if Ariana is not the real Ariana. Okay, even now I don't understand what I'm talking about.

"I know you're Ariana. You were the shadow, right?"

"I am not - if I say, who is now in my body is not me, but a creature that resembles me, do you believe it or not?"

"Before answering your question, can we meet face to face? Since then, I've only listened to voices, without seeing your figure."

"Wait a minute, I'll figure out a way to see you. You stay there."

"Good."

*_*ALGE*_*

After waiting, maybe an hour. The shadow had not yet revealed its figure. Honestly, only this time I was comfortable in a completely dark place. There are no genie creatures that try to interact and make me uncomfortable and not at home.

"Clarissa .. are you still there?"

I was surprised to hear the shadow.

"i-yes. I'm still here."

"I'm sorry, I don't think I've found a way for us to meet. Right now, I was in a room that was very dark around him. There was only one light illuminating, it was right above me. I tried to get out, but unfortunately it didn't work. I always go back to the same place."

"What if I try to find you?"

"It seems, it's going to be hard."

"Hm .. Even if it's hard, I'll try it. I need some clarity about this nature and of course the reason why you're saying that Ariana, who's currently in the human world, isn't actually the real Ariana."

Silent.

"You still there?" my many.

"Yes. Okay, I'll also find a way for us to meet. There's a lot I want to say and it's about saving someone's life. So, let's fight to find a way to meet each other."

I was shocked to hear what Ariana's shadow said.

What does 'concerning the safety of one's life' mean'?

Don't-don't, Ariana ...
