The day passed quickly. Trissya decides to quit her job. He chose to return to his hometown in Bandung. The girl takes care of her aunt's goat farm, Lisna. The girl felt calmer living in the hills. His house is about 400 meters from Lisna's house and farm.
The house is the legacy of his parents. In the past, the girl decided to go to Jakarta to become an office employee. However, in the end he worked as a mini market employee because of his high school graduation status. If only the family's economic problems were good, Trissya must have gone to college because she was a smart student at her school.
The girl was holding a wooden stick. He was guarding Lisna's goats in the meadow which was quite close to home.
"When are you fat?"
Mbeeeek
Trissya nodded as if responding to the goat's words, "I can't be fat either, can't be high, can't do anything."
Mbeeeks
Trissya saw a pair of young men who were riding bicycles through the hills. The girl remembered Raefal. He shook his head quickly.
"I also thought of the demon."
Trissya looked at Lisna who was waving at a distance. The girl nodded while waving her staff. After putting all the goats into the cage, Trissya returned to her home. He decided to take a shower and relax in the afternoon. While tightening the blanket, Trissya drank hot chocolate.
The instant noodles that let out soft smoke on the table were ignored by him. The girl enjoyed the beautiful afternoon view from her bedroom window. A little to the west there is a beautiful tea plantation. His hometown, his birthplace, where he grew up.
Trissya saw a shadow from the window. A man with a cynical smile behind him. Trissya immediately looked back. There's no one there. Instantly my hair was goosebumps. The girl could not forget that face.
Face Daeriel.
That scary guy he just saw.
The girl started to feel scared and panicked. He looked out the window again. A goat ran down the hill. Trissya gawking at confusion.
"I think I've put all the goats in the cage, huh."
The girl chose to go out to check on him. Down the hill and saw the goat eating grass there. Trissya shook her head softly as she tightened her blanket due to the cold weather plus the sky was almost dark.
"What are you doing there, Mbek?" Grumpily Trissya while pulling the rope from the goat's neck. Instead of according, the goat instead remained in its position.
"You want to be here for the night? Aunt Lisna could be angry with me. Let's go home, don't you miss your friends in the cage?" Grouse Trissya.
Mbeeeek
"Home, right? Or I don't want to take care of you anymore" threatened Trissya.
Free, son. Goats will not understand your words.
Trissya snorted dejectedly, "I think you need to be sacrificed, so as not to bother people."
Hearing the voice of the woman who cleared her throat slowly, Trissya turned her head. The white-clothed beautiful woman stood not far from him. His long hair moved due to the wind. Don't forget the alluring smile from his face. His stomach was slightly large, indicating that there was life in there.
Not kunti, woy! No need to be afraid!
Trissya was amazed by the presence of the woman this afternoon at the foot of the hill. He tried to approach her and asked, "Excuse me? What are you here again? Soon night. You will be lost."
The woman who was none other than Qwella was smiling beautifully, "I came here alone, Natrissya."
The girl was shocked because the foreign woman in front of her could tell her name.
"I'm Qwella, Daeriel's wife and Raefal's lover."
Trissya. He retreated out of fear. Yeah, that's! Although not a kunti, he is drucless. Trissya stayed away from him. He took his eyes off Qwella.
"What is your strength? So Raefal doesn't love me anymore?" Qwella asked with a seriously changed expression.
Trissya shook her head, "Please, don't bother me. I'm just a human being."
"Ordinary humans?! You're mind control too, right?! All this time I've been silent to see the man I love with you! But, now I'm sick and want you to die!" Shouted Qwella. Trissya shook her head while covering both her ears.
"Raefal's mine until whenever!" Suddenly Qwella was in front of Trissya with her eyes turning white. Both Trissya's eyes widened as they stared. His eyes also turned white. Trissya is in Qwella's control now.
The woman smiled cunningly, "Now take that sharp twig and stab your body to death."
Trissya brought the twig in question and pointed it at the chest. Before it was completely pierced, Trissya's hand movements came to a halt. Her eyes turned dark red. There was Daeriel behind him who was also controlling the girl's mind.
Qwella was surprised to see Daeriel, "Well, are you here?!"
Daeriel noticed Trissya who was standing glued as her body was controlled by 2 drucless at once.
"What are you doing here, too?" Daeriel asked back. Qwella sighed, "Don't interfere! It's my business with that kind of human chick!"
"Urusanku too. You're pregnant with my son..." Qwella let out a cold snort, ". Now go home to the palace, or I use another way."
"I'm doing the same calculation with that woman!" Snapped Qwella while pointing at Trissya.
"You remember our agreement, right? You can't kill Trissya or the baby. I didn't kill Raefal either."
Qwella rolled her eyes.
Daeriel turned to Trissya, "Let me take care, you don't have to worry. Go home and rest there."
Qwella's eyes turned black as before. Trissya's eye color becomes the second dark red.
"What will you do with him?" Ask Qwella.
There was no response from Daeriel. Qwella snorted and then disappeared. Daeriel approached Trissya and looked at her with disdain. He touched the girl's cheek gently.
"Not now, Trissya."
After saying those three words, Daeriel disappeared. Trissya fell down. He shook his head. Remember the foreign woman who hypnotized him. But, the girl did not remember what happened next. He didn't find a runaway goat around there. Since it was getting dark, the girl chose to go to Lisna's house.
"Auntie, there was a runaway goat. I don't see any traces of him."
Lisna frowned, "But, all of Aunt's goats are in her cage. How are you tea?"
They tried to check all the goats by counting the numbers.
"... 45...46... 47... 48...."
Complete!
Trissya shook her head in disbelief. He saw with his own eyes when the goat ran down the hill.
"Maybe you saw it wrong. Hence, you tea do not sleep kemaleman. So hallucinations, right?" Lisna. Trissya held her aching head. There was fear that gnawed his guts.
"Auntie, I'm just gonna go out here, yeah."
♥♥♥
In the morning, the,
Trissya looks after the goats as usual. He saw some people passing down the hill. Curious, Trissya asked one of them.
"Well, Mang Ujang? What's up, huh? What, rame-rame gini?"
"That's Trissya, something bad happened to Kang Herman's family."
Trissya frowned confusedly, "What happened, huh?"
"Neng Sari, his youngest daughter, died and became a rape victim."
"Jeez."
Trissya immediately put all the goats into the cage and visited Kang Herman's house to defend his condolences.
Trissya helped bathe Sari's body. He saw that there were many wounds on that body. What distracted Trissya was the size of the tattoo that was coiled around Sari's neck.
Did Sari have a tattoo? Ah, no way. Trissya.
Everyone was also amazed by the appearance of the tattoo. No one knows where it came from and why it was there. They thought it was a serial killer's act to mark his victims.
Actually.it was a sign of ownership made by the man of the drucless nation.
Local police are investigating to catch the killer. They are looking for as much evidence as possible. There is no solid evidence. Research and chemical analysis can't help much.
Many casualties fall. Like what happened to Sari. The victim was a woman with a tattoo on her neck. The tattoo cannot be removed as if it is permanent. No one knows what kind of ink it is. Because as if the tattoo is indeed black skin like that.
Everyone is convinced it was a serial killer. Anxiety hit residents, including Trissya. No one dared to leave the house.
Lisna forbade Trissya to look after her goats. He was calmer to see his nephew inside the house.

Chilla and Adry were having lunch at a simple restaurant not far from the mini market.
"Tomorrow I'd like to see my Papa client. I hope you came. I'll pick you up" said Adry. Chilla's surprised. In her heart the girl felt very happy because of Adry's invitation, but on the other hand, she would be embarrassed to face big people.
"I don't think I can, brother."
"Why?"
"I'm not good."
"There's me, right. You're the same as me."
"But,"
Silent.
"I like you, Chilla." The sudden confession from Adry left Chilla dumbfounded.
"Aah?"
"You are an honest and kind woman. I told you the same Aunt Tari. Aunt Tari said, you're good."
Chilla felt overwhelmed. He also liked Adry for a long time. However, the girl also knew, Adry liked Trissya. He doesn't want to disturb them.
"Emm, but, I thought, Sister Adry likes Trissya." Chilla played her index finger in nervousness.
"Yes, but first."
"Why didn't you fight Trissya?" Ask Chilla.
Leisurely, Adry replied, "So he's happy with his soul mate, what power I have that is completely invisible to him."
Chilla smiled, "It sounds like poetry."
Adry laughed, Chilla did too.
The atmosphere was silent again, after their laughter had subsided.
"You want to marry me?" Ask Adry.
"Was fast as that?!" Chilla was aghast at the sudden proposal Adry made to her.
Adry smiled, "You need to think about your decision."

Alma folded the mukena she had just used for the dzuhur prayer. Patently, he put it in the mukena of the mushola cabinet. The girl confirmed her well-mounted veil covered the aurat. He reflected on the reflection of the window glass.
Haidar suddenly appeared from across the window with a mischievous expression. Alma gasped in surprise while grumbling furiously, "You did what!"
Haidar laughs.
When Alma came out of the mushola, the girl turned to Haidar who was smiling handsomely at him. The man opened the black peci that he always carries when performing prayers.
Alma rolled her eyeballs then passed. Haidar.
Alma nodded her head in response. Haidar watched Alma make the girl a little uncomfortable. He looked at Haidar.
"See what?" Ask Alma. Haidar smiled with blushing cheeks, "From heaven."
Alma retreated her head then walked faster leaving Haidar.
"Eh, Alma."
Haidar asked again, "Have you got a boyfriend, or not?"
Alma.
"Why?"
"So I said, I don't date. If you're going out, get married."
"You know, we're married, yuk."
"Ah? What did you say?"
"I'm serious, mother I want a hijab-wearing daughter-in-law. You, right, there's."
Alma seemed to think then he stepped even faster leaving Haidar.
The man smacked his own mouth with a peci, "Basic, what are you saying, Haidar?"
"Alma may not want to be with you."
~
The three employees were busy cleaning the shelves. They look serious and painstaking.
"Eh, you know how Raefal is, don't you?" Ask Haidar.
Chilla shook her head, "No, she hasn't worked here in a long time. But, he didn't say anything about Adry. He didn't say he was going out, or anything."
"Where is he, huh? Let nothing happen to him. You guys know the address?" Ask Haidar again.
"Sister Adry must know" replied Alma. Haidar thought for a moment, "Okay, I ask you later if the time is good.
When the return hour has arrived, Alma and Chilla take a taxi home. While Haidar met Adry who was about to enter his car.
"Emm, Bang Adry, can you ask me?"
Adry, who had just opened the car door, turned to Haidar. He closed the car door again.
"Yes, Haider. Why?" Ask Adry. Haidar looked for the right sentence, "I am quite familiar with Raefal. To be honest, I was worried about Raefal. He can't be contacted. Does Bang Adry know the address? I'll come to his house to see."
Adry seemed to think, "It looks like Raefal is not in Jakarta anymore, deh. At that time I gave the address of his girlfriend who came home."
"Oh yeah?"
"Heem, but I don't think there's any news from him. I was wondering where he was actually. Yeah, come in. We just came to his house" Adry said as he entered his car.
"Within? Where's it going, Bang?" Haidar asked in confusion. Adry's head was nongol from the car window, "Get in the car."
"Ah? Me? Huh, Bang?"
"Ah well, my people are telling me."
The spirited Haidar immediately got into that car. Adry gives a map of a faded brown color on Haidar.
"What is this, Bang?"
"The job application letter has Raefal. Check the address." Adry drove his car.
Haidar complied and read out the address on the paper.
After some fighting Jakarta's congestion, they finally found a smooth and quiet road. Some houses are far apart.
"Was Adry here?" Ask Haidar. Adry sighed boredly, "You never, why did I take that map."
"Ehehe, yes, yes."
Adry's car stalled in front of the mansion Raefal once lived in. They got out of the car and watched the house.
"Well, this is Raefal's house? How, really big, huh? Kayak is not a mini market employee's house. It's like a businessman's house" Haidar said.
Adry looked back at the address of the paper Haidar was holding. The man looked at the paper and the house took turns. Adry muttered, "Home is this. But it looks empty, huh. No one, the yard is also a lot of dry leaves that are not swept."
"Yes, I think Bang Adry is, really. Maybe Raefal's back in the village to see his girlfriend."
Suddenly a barking dog sounds that managed to surprise the two men.
"Astagfirullah, surprise me!" Haidar touched his chest.
Adry rubbed his face rough because no less shocked. It turned out that the house was a few dozen meters from Raefal's house, the owner kept a dog.
Again the dog barked making the two men immediately enter the car.
"Later we are supposed to be burping" said Adry. Haidar shook his head, "No, dong, Bang. Time to bring a car. Is there a thief who wants to be blatant?"
"Yes, there are thieves who deliberately rent cars to transport goods from the empty house," grumbled Adry.
"Yes too, anyway. How, Bang Adry can think that far? Experience, huh?" Haidar asked while laughing sucks.
"What am I trying to do, try?"

Trissya was lying on the bed. It had been a few weeks that the girl had been staying at Lisna's house. Her aunt did not allow Trissya to sleep alone in her parents' house. Lisna was worried about Trissya because of the strange events that befell the girls in the village.
Criminals who rape girls and leave tattoos on the necks of their victims. The victim was not outside the home. They're in the room. However, I don't know what kind of villain can get in and out without leaving a trace.
Before the police managed to catch the criminal, Lisna forbade Trissya from herding her goats in a distant place.
Trissya just smiled with Lisna's care. The girl obeyed her aunt.
Trissya. He stretched his body while small yawns. The girl pulled the blanket and closed her eyes.
The heavy hand touched his hair. Trissya's eyes opened and puffed up to see who had disturbed her sleep.
The girl was surprised to see the red-robed man. The girl immediately inched away, even falling to the floor.
Daeriel looked at Trissya with a serious expression, "I want to see you."
"Make what?" Ask Trissya.
"I want you to come with me" Daeriel said as she extended her hand. Trissya shook her head while hiding both of her hands behind her back.
Daeriel slightly bowed to approach Trissya's face. The man touched his arm. The girl felt her body spin and was sucked into another dimension.
They arrived in the world of drucless. Trissya staggered with dizziness and her energy suddenly drained away. He was about to fall, but swiftly, Daeriel held him back.
Trissya remembered the same thing had happened. It was Raefal who brought him to that place. The man also held his body back from falling. But this time it was different. Different men and different circumstances. Drucless world in the afternoon.
Trissya misses Raefal.
Daeriel could read the girl's mind because of her touch to Trissya's arm. There was jealousy in Daeriel's heart. Previously he did not have the same jealousy on Qwella. But, on Trissya it feels different.
"Why don't you bring me here?" Trissya asked with a worried tone. Daeriel raised the body of the girl. Trissya was surprised, so she held on to Daeriel's shoulder. The man teleported onto a huge boulder that was in the middle of the holy river. The man took Trissya down.
"I just want to get along with you, like Raefal." Daeriel sat next to the girl. Trissya slightly shifted her seat.
"Why are you being so unfair? You know Raefal because he fucked you, right? But, I'm glad you're such a pity to Raefal, when clearly he's evil." Daeriel looked straight ahead. He saw fish jumping on the surface of the river.
"She's a venereal villain, but you're good to keep her around" Daeriel continued.
"You say that? So, what's the difference with you?" Tanya Trissya quietly. However, it sounded a little grumbling.
Daeriel turned to the girl, "That's also a question I asked you."
Trissya.
"I'm the same Raefal it makes no difference. But, you treated Raefal better than me. We are both drucless, we both like to sleep with just any woman, we both have slept with you. So, what keeps you from turning away from him?"
Trissya clenched her hands. He couldn't accept that Daeriel was vilifying Raefal like that.
"You should be able to see which drucless man is more powerful" Daeriel said with a haughty smile.
"Even though Raefal is the same you are both fucking and jerk, but he still has a good side!" Sambar Trissy. Daeriel stared angrily at the girl. Trissya turned her eyes. He cursed his stupidity that could have provoked Daeriel's anger.
The expression on the man's face turned soft.
Elleanor looked at her eldest son with a look of disbelief. While Daeriel who was still a teenager was only able to look down deeply in front of his mother.
A loud slap landed on the handsome cheek of the man. Daeriel didn't think her mother would be rude to her.
"Why do you want to hurt your own sister? You see now, Raefal is on the verge of death!" Shouted Elleanor while pointing at Raefal who was lying on the bed.
Daeriel clenched his hands furiously. His mother loved Raefal so much that she forgot about him.
"Raefal has been very kind to forgive you who always did evil to him. Don't you have kindness in your heart?" Elleanor asked as she pointed at Daeriel's chest.
"For what good? Father who knows no good, is able to rule the kingdom of Zeroun with his hands." The answer came out of Daeriel's mouth.
Elleanor did not believe what she heard. The woman shook her head.
"Your heart has become a stone."
Trissya felt fear as Daeriel looked back at her. The girl***wedge of her clothes while grumbling inwardly.
Trissya shifted her seat, "Sorry, I. I was accidentally."
Daeriel doesn't understand, why does the girl always apologize to him? What the girl said was nothing wrong.
Does he look so scary in Trissya's eyes, when angry? So, the girl did not want to make him angry.
"Well I'm good, can you change your mind?" Daeriel asked suddenly. Trissya shook her head quickly.
"I was born with a crime. I'm not going to change well" Daeriel said.
Trissya threw away her face. Daeriel smiled then patted Trissya on the head slowly. The girl felt dizzy and suddenly fell from her bed. Trissya grimaced as she touched her head that clashed with the floor.
"Oh, ah. Good thing it's just a dream."
The door to the room was slammed hard. Trissya was surprised and turned her head, it turned out that Lisna was looking at her with a worried expression.
"Aduuhh, why are you sleeping on the floor, oruh?" Lisna helped Trissya stand up. The girl just smiled stiffly, "I think I'm avoiding."
"Auntie to the shock of the thud, loud again."
"Hehe, man,"
