Arska: Love and Magic

02. First Meeting

Hicks.hicks.

There were cries of many children in a medium-sized room, dirty, shabby, and unkempt. There were more than ten children in that place, they were crying, screaming, hysterical, scared all mixed in one.

But the most attention-grabbing among the many children were two children who looked silent without feeling fear in his eyes, the expressions of the two children looked flat and cold, the two of them did not even care about the cries of the other child.

" Hush! you're noisy!" Excited a girl who was very upset because a girl who was near her was very noisy because of her crying.

" Hiks.hi are you not afraid, I am very afraid of your torment..." Said a little boy close to a little girl

" Silence!" those little eyes were staring intently at the little girl who was near her, her eyes which were bright blue like jewels suddenly turned blood red, blood red, it certainly made the girl instantly speechless from her cries.

Without the two girls realizing in the other corner of the room there was a boy who continued to pay attention to their interaction, both of them, more precisely paying attention to the girl who looks so calm without the slightest fear on her face, she did not expect there to be a small child whose nature and attitude are almost the same as her.

Without the boy realizing his expression that had been flat and cold was also not so concerned with the cries of other children, from his lips there was an arch so thin, so thin, she smiled because she saw the face and the way the girl spoke, she looked like she was looking at herself.

All this time he never smiled after a big incident happened to him, he used to only smile at his mother but the smile was gone after his mother was gone, there was no more smile from her self there was only a flat, cold and indifferent expression. His grandfather was even very worried about his condition because he was still a child yet had a lot of weight on his shoulders.

From the beginning he continued to pay attention to the girl who somehow made her interested, for the first time there are those who can make her interested in addition to her practice so far. But he was shocked when he saw that blue eyes that looked beautiful and bright like jewels suddenly turned blood red until they were blue again.

" Your eyes are tormented you're fine, I-I'm afraid... You're..."

" Hush.... Aaarrrggghhh" suddenly the girl screamed in pain while holding her eyes

Blood began to come out of both his eyeballs, not only that his eye color was constantly changing every time his blue, red, black, green, purple and also white.

" you... You're okay, how am I supposed to ask anyone for help? What should I do!" The little boy who had been crying was now no more crying from his face, he looked very panicked and worried about the state of his friend who continued to scream in pain and from his eyes continued to bleed endlessly, he walked back and forth without knowing what he should do to help his friend.

" It was Te-nang" while enduring the pain that was in her eyes, the girl calmed her friend who looked so panicked.

" How can I calm down there's nothing we can ask for help, it's all because I'm tormenting if I don't take you out maybe now you won't be like this...."

" I'm fine, you're gonna make me sicker with that sound of your crying!" His speech was flat, he tried to calm himself and endure the pain that kept hitting his eyes, he did not want his friend to be any more frightened, he said, but the pain did not stop as blood continued to flow out of both of his eyes.

Even his state is now more severe every eye color that changes differently from the other eye like if one eye is red next to the other is black, his eyes continued to change even more blood coming out of his eyes, the pain was even greater than before.

However she kept her restraint so that her friend did not feel worried at her, she even closed her eyes so that her friend did not notice the changes that were happening to her eyes, she said, he also covered his eyes with his palms so that the little girl would not see the blood coming out of his eyes, but the blood was getting more and more and filled his hands until his hands had turned red because of the blood, it added to the panic in his friend.

" How can I calm down, your eyes keep bleeding...."

" I'm fine" he replied casually while enduring the pain he felt

How not to be afraid, a boy aged 8-9 years old was in a room so dirty, small, stuffy with other children who thought there were aged 9-11 years, they are in brackets without being fed and only given enough to drink.

" Rather than you crying, you better find a way out of this place" she said, trying to stay calm.

" You're right" the girl followed what her friend said, she looked up, down, and she kept going around the room with her little legs.

The little girl who had been left behind by her friend also let out a sigh of relief, in fact she knew there was no way out of this place, even though this place looked dirty, even though it looked dirty, seedy and unkempt in fact his building is still sturdy and strong, but he did it just to distract his friend was, so as not to see the state of his now.

He opened his palms, a lot of blood was on his palms, his eyesight was even blurred as a result of blood and also the color of the eyes were constantly changing.

" Use this" someone suddenly thrusts a handkerchief at her.

The girl followed the direction where the person who gave her a handkerchief, though blurred she could still see it, she said, a 10-year-old boy was standing and giving a handkerchief to her.

He thought there was no other child, he meant that there was no child so brave in this situation, there were still many other children there, yet no one cared even to notice them they just kept crying and crying.

" Take it" said the boy

The little girl still did not budge at all, seeing her just silence made the boy was anxious but seeing her state somehow she felt very sick.

And somehow he felt his heart eager to get close to her and help this little girl, he felt like he was worried and afraid that something bad would happen to this little girl. The fear and worry that had disappeared since the death of his mother now re-occurred he felt when he saw the pain so much this girl.

Without thinking for a long time he began to approach the place where this boy was at the same time with his friend who went out for whatever he did not care, no matter what, however after he approached this little girl his other things made him so surprised, how not the eyes of this little girl changed color again, this thing he had never seen and heard before his, how not the eyeballs of this little girl changed color, but even so those little eyes made her so fascinated.

" Argghhhh" the girl again screamed in pain even though she still could not keep her friend from approaching her after hearing her screaming voice.

The screaming sound of the little girl was able to wake her up from her daydream, with immediately her tiny hand wiping away any blood that filled the girl's face.

The girl was shocked when there was a small hand that wiped the blood from her face using a broomstick in her possession, when he saw it turned out that the hand belonged to the boy who gave the handkerchief to him.

The girl quickly caught the boy's hand with her hand to stop what the boy was doing.

The boy looks jolted in shock as he holds his hand, seeing that he looked towards his hand where blood still filled his hand until it made the boy's hand also exposed his blood, he quickly released his grasp.

" ah... Sorry sorry, I didn't mean it" he thought the boy was disgusted because he touched his bloodied hand to the point of dirtying it.

" It's okay" is actually not the thing that made her surprised, but she was surprised because when the tiny hand of the little girl clasped her hand she did not feel any disgust at her, he felt no disgust at all at the hand that the girl had touched.

It's nothing, it's just that she has acute OCD where she's very hygienic, not only that he really does not like anyone to hold even touch him even though the tip of the nail is either by his family, or others women and men, or men, he will always keep his distance from them or not let them touch him at all.

he would instantly wipe away the traces where his limbs were touched in such a rough manner that there was not the slightest trace left behind from the person who had just touched him.

It used to be that even the skin on his hands immediately peeled off and spit out blood as a result of him rubbing her too hard, and it made her mother worried, she was immediately rushed to the hospital because of the incident, and that's when he started to move away from the outside world and not let anyone touch him.

Yet now the little girl had held his hand, but no reaction whatsoever had occurred to her, disgust, discomfort there was no such thing, nor was there any such thing, he felt a sense of comfort and calm as he clasped his hands. It is very strange he thinks what his illness has cured, however it was not possible before this incident happened his grandfather's men never touched him a little and it made a huge reaction on him.

" I'll help you clean your face" the boy said coldly, but his eyeballs stared gently at the little girl.

" Thank you"

After cleaning the face and hands of the little girl before her, this little girl now looks very pretty with her face that looks so cute, she said, cute makes everyone who sees her want to pinch her cheeks because of anxiety.

" Can I see your eyes?" Asked the boy, he saw that even though he was cleaning his face, but the blood did not stop coming out of his eyes.

For a moment the little girl looked at the boy's eyeballs, before she nodded her head, for some reason she had faith in the boy.

The little hand of the boy gently rubbed the eyelids of the little girl, while continuing to pay attention to the changes that were happening to her. somehow the pain gradually improved after the boy's hand touched his face, he also began to be able to control the color of his eyes until he returned to his bright blue color, he also felt a smooth and warm energy flowing in his body.

Seeing every change that had happened to the little girl before him subconsciously he heaved a sigh of relief as he saw his condition gradually improving, gradually improving, actually she gave a little of her spiritual energy and she was greatly relieved when she knew there was no opposition from this little girl's body as she gave her energy.

" There is no way out of this place!" lamenting a girl who had just arrived, she did not realize there was anyone else there.

" I know" when the little girl responded to a complaint from her friend.

" You know, then why.... Ahk who are you?" At first he was upset because his friend fooled him, but he was surprised to see there was someone else, but like his boy he spoke to did not care about him at all, evident when his eyes only stared at the little girl in front of him alone.

" Ouh yeah... How are you doing?" Ask her when remembering the condition of her friend who is very worried

" I'm fine"

" Thank God"

" Thank you" said the little girl to the boy, who nodded his head back.

" Hey hey what's going on, is there something going on that I don't know about, or...."

BRAAKKS

Before he finished his speech, the sound of the door being opened so loudly, there were three adult men who entered the room.
