Seeing Them

I stepped foot quickly, following the lag of friends. The smile on my lips never faded.  I am indeed a person who is not good at hiding his taste, let alone regarding him.

I kept my head down while balancing the steps with the others. I don't want them to see the hue on my cheek right now that might seem so obvious.

I stopped my steps, still down I was silent . What's with my ears now? Looks like something's wrong.

From the tail of my eyes, I could see many people passing by, it must be santriwati who was about to go to the assembly to congregate. But why do I see one of them at a glance that their legs are stuck. I couldn't stand it anymore, my curiosity was bigger than my fear.

I know this is almost a magrib, and I should have rushed back to the dormitory instead of sculpting a kayak gini.

Instantly I felt like I had stopped breathing, when my head managed to shake. The view I see now is so horrible.

Not yet had my voice come out of my throat, I felt a hand silencing my mouth from behind.

"Be normal, pretend like you don't see them."

Instead of being calm, I panicked. And my fear is getting out of control.

I screamed hysterically, though the hand was still silencing my mouth, yet my voice was able to be heard by the creature I had just seen this time.

The owner of the hand pulled my body back until it fell. Sick? Sure oes. But my fear is still much greater.

All those strange creatures looked at me, with gazes I could not define.

I wanted to close my eyes, but I did the opposite. I looked at them one by one, making suspicion in their eyes.

"Why is that human?"  I heard people asking from the right side.

"Don't look at the bagok! you can end up with them"

Hearing that, I held my head up again which almost spontaneously wanted to look at the source of the voice.  Rather than die young, I would do better what the creature behind me said.

"Obviously you know, if I like being nosy"

"I suggest don't hurt humans if they don't have it wrong"

Ma shaa Allah turns out that their kayak creatures have a good side too.  I want to look at them, but I don't want them to know that I can see them either.

I have an idea, thankfully my smart brain works fast. I deliberately circulated my gaze in all directions, but deliberately stared at the exact ones that did not exist for them not to suspect.

"Subhanallah, wallhamdulillah Allahuakbar.."  I praise the greatness of God in my heart. It turns out that their kayaking creatures are handsome as well. Oppa-oppa korea is losing.

" Yes next time I consider your suggestion" I realized that there was still one creature right behind me.

I saw Iqlima walking quickly towards me. Wait-wait if Iqlima goes straight automatically he will hit a woman whose head is upside down.

I was getting ready to scream, Iqlima told me. But again the invisible cold hand closed my mouth.

" Nih man one, he used snoring yak times. I told you not to scream. Your friend won't do anything."

Ok I hold his words, if anything happens to Iqlima I must end his history as a demon.

I closed my eyes, not wanting to watch as Iqlima's body actually hit the woman. But again the nosy hand pulled the top of my eyelid, so I could see what was happening.

"ah see through "I couldn't believe it when Iqlima's body easily passed through that woman's body.

" Emang man yes, given the brain but the one in use even the ass to think"

I growled in my heart.  So the devil is so chatty. Defeating the chatter of arisan's mothers.

I saw Iqlima who was silent for a moment after hitting the woman's body. His hand rubbed his nape which he somehow felt. He shook his head for a moment before continuing his steps toward me.

"Why you?" Iqlima's voice asked after arriving in front of me.

I again circulated my gaze toward these supernatural beings.

They seem indifferent to our existence.

Maybe these chatty demon words have a point, I should still pretend not to see them.

"Ra "

I'm back to focusing on Iqlima. I can't tell him what I saw. He will be afraid.

"I-I accidentally stepped on a pebble. It slipped" May my alibi be.

"Well, I'm here to help you, we need to hurry back to the dorm"

I nodded and returned Iqlima's hand. I quickly faced back after my standing position was perfect.

Although I was afraid I should know who the demon was talking to me.

But there's nothing behind. Why can't I see another creature but he can't ?
