Diamonds

~The best ones do not come quickly, but come at the right time.~

Her eyelids opened wide when the alarm on the table went off to surprise the girl. Lazily, both of his hands moved to turn off the alarm. He entered the bathroom. There was a large mirror inside. for a moment he reflected while smiling sweetly.

Trissya, a petite beautiful girl with long brownish black hair. Both of his eyes were large round with a clear black bead. Her sharp nose was carved sweetly on her face. His little lips that slightly reddened pink made a cute impression of the Indonesian girl.

After the shower, the 22-year-old girl wore a dark blue uniform with black trousers. She's shaving her hair. Trissya works as a mini market waitress. He rode a bicycle to reach his workplace which was 700 meters from the contract where he lived.

Arriving at the mini market, the girl wears her name tag. Friendly, he greeted the customers who came.

A veiled girl who was also a minibar market servant came to him, "Trissya, you know?"

Trissya shook her head, "No."

The girl put on an expression thinking, "Yes, I haven't said anything yet." Trissya snorted softly, "Yes, anyways you know 'no?'. Yeah, where do I know, Alma."

The hijab girl named Alma smiled sweetly, "Hehe, yes too, huh?"

Trissya rolled her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"So, I'm with Chilla coming here in a taxi. On the street, there was a hit-and-run victim. It's a pity" said Alma while showing a sad expression. Trissya rubbed Alma's arm, "Don't cry, dong. It's not your fault, Alma."

Alma nodded slowly, "Yes, anyway. But just have pity. He was taken to the same hospital as the late ambulance."

Someone patted both of their shoulders. They both nodded and looked. The beautiful woman looked at Alma and Trissya alternately.

"It's still working hours, beautiful. You guys get on with the job" said the woman. Instantly the two girls returned to activities while nodding respectfully.

Alma blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry, Miss Dance."

Bu Tari, who processed the mini market just smiled and returned to his private room. Trissya elbowed Alma's arm, "You, the hell, make sure people keep talking."

A young girl approached them both. Chilla's name is on the name tag she wears.

"Sister Alma, sister Trissya, help settle this shelf, dong."

The two girls turned to Chilla who was busy tidying up the shelves.

After the day's work was done, Trissya went home on her bicycle as usual. Since it was already quite night, he passed the path Alma talked about. Because the road is quite close to the contract Trissya. However, it is quite stuck and there are frequent accidents.

It was lucky that night that the streets were quite quiet. Sure enough, Trissya noticed there were scratches on the sidewalk. Traces of car tires that brake suddenly are also printed clearly on the asphalt. Trissya had no intention of stopping. He kept his bike up. However, it seemed like he was smashing something. The girl stopped her bike and looked back. It turned out to be a dark blue diamond that was slightly scuffed. Maybe because Trissya just bullied him. The girl took the thing and looked at it carefully.

"Maybe this has something to do with the accident here. I'll take it home first, deh. I'll call the police later" Trissya said.

The girl turned back to ride her bike to the contract. He pedaled with all his might.

Trissya wiped the sweat on her forehead while grumbling softly, "Cocky, suddenly heavy gini, anyway."

Arriving at a rented house, Trissya chose to take a bath and then cook. After finishing eating, the girl looked at the diamond she found. Carefully, the girl cleaned the diamond and placed it in front of the bathroom mirror. When Trissya left the diamond, the blue color of the diamond slowly faded.

Trissya felt that night was a little gripping. He turned on the TV while eating a snack to disappear the silence that came. There was news on TV about a hit-and-run accident this morning. Trissya listened seriously.

".. the victim was taken to the hospital. Now he's in a coma. We're trying to find information about the victim's family.."

Trissya noticed a photo of the victim in the bottom corner of the screen. A handsome man with a cold look. Trissya goosebumps looking at that, she touches her own shoulder. The girl chose to turn off the TV and call the police.

Trissya enters the room while opening her hairband, "Hello? Look, sir, I was home from work at the scene of a hit-and-run accident. Well, I found something that might belong to the victim."

"..."

"It's like a diamond, sir." The girl sat on the edge of her bed.

"..."

"Well, tomorrow morning before I leave for work, I go to the police station first. Yes, you're welcome, sir."

Trissya kept her phone to the table, then lay down comfortably. Slowly but surely, the girl fell asleep. He was unaware of the sound from the bathroom. The black shadow moved and fell into the bathtub.

Day starts in the morning.

Trissya was still sound asleep even though the morning chicken had tried to wake her up with a distinctive sound. The girl's hand moved to take the phone from the table. He sat up and rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen.

Instantly his gaze widened when he saw the clock that showed at 9 am. The girl rushed into the bathroom while throwing her cell phone at the bed.

"Why can I forget the alarm masang, anyway? There's usually a daily alarm!" Grumpy the girl.

He stood in front of the mirror while taking off his clothes. However, he frowned when he looked at the bathtub, there was a head that appeared to the surface of the water. Instantly the fur stood up. He began to think illogically.

The girl immediately put her clothes back on and ventured to look into the bathtub. It turned out to be the body of a man who had fainted.

"Why is there anyone here? Y-when did he come in?"

When he touched the hair, there was an electric shock flowing to him. Trissya immediately turned off the electricity in the house and emptied the contents of the bath by removing the plugs.

　

"Ah, I can mishap to the mini market."

He touched the hair and still felt the same electric shock. Trissya started to panic. He took the dry wood to bring the body out of the bathtub. With difficulty, he managed to pull out the body.

"This is a heavy man. How guilty, huh? Uh, I'm sorry I'm a lot of sin, too."

For a moment the girl noticed the handsome face of the man. A pair of eyes that were covered with eyebrows as if swooping sharply. The nose is sharp and the lips are slightly open. The girl shook her head to eliminate the negative thoughts that started teasing her. The man was wearing a strange dark blue dress model.

Trissya turned to the diamond she found last night. The color turned white. Trissya looked confused. Without him noticing, the man moved and gouged at him. When Trissya turned around, she was surprised to see the man.

"Eeh, are you conscious?!" Trissya panicked. The man tried to get up even though staggering. He held onto his chest which was hurting. The man asked as if to himself, "Where is Gue?"

Trissya was more confused by the man's question. He replied, "You're in my contract. How, you can get in here? I locked all the doors and windows."

The man glanced at Trissya then shook his head while looking at the white diamond in front of the mirror. Trissya was still staring suspiciously at the man. The girl felt familiar with her face. The two men's eyes widened at the diamond, "My body!"

"Aah?" Trissya. The girl looked at the diamond and the man took turns. The man grabbed Trissya's arm, "Where's my body?"

"Body? Isn't this your body?" Trissya asked as she touched the man's hand. The two eyes of the man stared at Trissya's soft warm hands, "This is not the original body of the cave. It seems, something has happened that makes the cave separate the same cave body."

The man turned around holding the diamond and stared at it intensely without noticing the terrified look on Trissya's face. The girl did not even see the reflection of the man's reflection in the mirror.

"Ja-so...your ka...ghost?" Trissya asked followed by the fall of the tiny body. The man turned around and was surprised that Trissya had fainted. He approached while shaking Trissya's body, "Little girl, get up."

There was no response.

The man lifted Trissya's body and put her to bed. For a moment the man looked at Trissya's body from top to bottom and vice versa. Then he shook his head and looked back at the diamond in his hand.

His gray eyes were tightly closed. The pieces of events just passed through his mind.

The two men were fighting with abilities beyond human reason. A hard blow keeps the opponent from slamming away and destroying anything on the highway. The man was thrown into a speeding car. The body fell into the street when the car brake suddenly. Fresh blood flowed from his head.

The footsteps approached. He tried to look at the face of the man who had hit him to such an extent. However, the dark night made him unable to clearly see that face.

"Looks like you're weak, Raefal. You'd better die in the human world."

What Raefal saw was the man's red robe moving in the night breeze.

The man named Raefal gasped in shock, "Who took the cave body, huh? If tonight the cave can't find the body of the cave, it could be dead."

The man saw Trissya who was still unconscious. Raefal chuckled dejectedly, "The cave intents must have been cut off because the same body was the source of cave life apart because of the fights."

♥♥♥

Slowly, Trissya's eyes opened. He found the man staring at him at such a close distance. The girl nodded and immediately moved away from him. Men

"The ghost! Why are you still here! I thought it was a dream!" Grouse Trissya. Raefal shows the diamond that is getting faded, "Where did this diamond come from?"

"On the road," replied Trissya who was still staring fearfully at the man. In confusion, Raefal frowned, "Lu know, where is the original body of the cave?"

Trissya looked at the man in full search. He brought his face closer. Both of Raefal's eyebrows shot up when their faces were so close. They look at each other.

Trissya seemed to think. Then he remembered something, "You're the guy who got hit and ran, right?! Who was on TV last night?!"

Raefal digests Trissya's question, "So, you know, where's my body?"

"At the hospital" Trissya replied quietly. He still felt fear for the foreign man in front of him. Raefal seemed to think. Trissya touched Raefal's arm carefully making the man turn back to her.

"Why?" Ask. Trissya nodded and put her hand away and shook her head, "You're like a human being. But, you're also like a ghost."

"Gua is not the two" Raefal replied as he got out of bed and opened the window curtain. Trissya narrowed her eyes. The window glass did not reflect the man's shadow in the slightest.

The man's eye bead changed color to dark blue, "Gue drucless."

Trissya put on a thoughtful expression, "Is that some kind of snack?"

The color of her eyes changed normally hearing the silly question from Trissya. He turned to look at the girl, "Lo must help the cave to turn this diamond into the cave body."

Trissya jumped, "Ah? Don't wanna. You just go by yourself. Who told you to come here."

"Who told you to take this diamond? Because you also cave electrocuted because of the bath water." Raefal's gerutu won't lose. Trissya got up to him, "But..."

The knock on the contract door made both of their eyes diverted.

Trissya passed followed by Raefal. He opened the door and was shocked. It turned out to be two policemen.

Trissya invited them both to sit down. The two policemen requested the item Trissya found at the scene. The girl was confused and looked at Raefal who was sitting beside her.

"I have to tell you first my friend, sir."

The cop looked confused, "Temen? Kirain you contracted alone."

Trissya was stunned to realize that the two policemen did not see the whereabouts of the drucless man. Trissya is getting scared. Raefal pointed at the drawer. Trissya opened it and saw that the diamond was there.

Since when?  Trissya asked in her heart.

He looked towards Raefal who was nodding at him. Trissya gave the thing to the police.

"Thank you for the help, we'll excuse you."

After the two policemen left, Raefal patted Trissya on the shoulder. Makes the girl shocked. She's looking.

"They can't see you? But why can I?" Trissya asked who was trying not to cry. Raefal looked at Trissya, "Follow them. They will take us to my body. On the way, the cave is clear to lo."

"Geez, why am I helping this ghost?"

♥♥♥

Trissya was in a taxi. He put the phone to his ear. Raefal sat down beside him quietly. The taxi they were driving in followed a police car that had just come to Trissya's rented house.

"Ja-so, how?" Trissya asked pretending to be on the phone. The taxi driver glanced at the rearview mirror.

Raefal leaned back quietly, "The cave is not too anxious what happened last night. I think there's someone who wants to kill the cave. The memory of the cave will return again if the cave is the same cave body united."

Trissya swallowed the saliva out of nervousness, "Whose name are you?"

"Raefal,"

Silent.

"Gue should get my body before nightfall. If I don't find my body, I might actually die." Although the tone of his speech sounded precarious, Raefal did not show any panicked expression at all. "Drucless has this diamond as his life. He would die if his body and this diamond were separated. The diamond color will fade and disappear if you don't find the container."

"Now you're the only one who can see me, because you found this diamond. Gua wants you to help me get to my real body. Because I have the same body, not only you, everyone can see me. Mirrors can also mantulin cave shadows."

Trissya seemed to think, "But if I find out what you want, you should go and don't bother me."

Raefal looked at Trissya then nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, the two policemen entered the hospital. Trissya and Raefal followed them by sneaking around. The policeman spoke to the nurse and then got out of the hospital. Not according to the original plan. The two policemen were supposed to go into the room where Raefal's body was. Trissya immediately hid behind a wall as the two policemen passed by.

"Raefal, what if we split up? You follow the police and get your diamonds, I search your body" Trissya said. Raefal seemed to think, "Yes, deh."

Without a second thought, Raefal followed them. Trissya approached the nurse who held the list of patient names. He asked Raefal's name to her.

The sister shook her head weakly, "Sorry Ma'am, but there's no Raefal's name on this list."

Yes, too, yes. They don't know his name is Raefal. How, anyways? Trissya looked panicked. She looked back at the nurse, "Well, I want to ask, where is the room of the guy who was the victim of a hit-and-run yesterday?"

The nurse looked suspiciously at Trissya. Realizing the nurse's gaze, the girl immediately looked for an excuse, "I'm her friend, Sus. That's why I just named Raefal, because his name is Raefal."

The nurse understood. He immediately looked at the patient's list of names carefully. Trissya looked at the wall clock that showed at 11 p.m. In his heart he grumbled in annoyance, for not going to work. Even though Bu Tari was a good person, he would still reprimand Trissya tomorrow morning.

"The accident was at 4am and the victim's body was taken to the hospital at 9am..." Trissya immediately turned to the voice of Sister.

"... it seems like this morning someone visited him."

Trissya was surprised, "Huh? B-but, who?"

"The guy said he was his brother."

"What's his name, Sus?"

"Daeriel Zeroun."

Trissya seemed to think. After getting Raefal's room number, Trissya immediately looks for him.

"Number 114."

Trissya found him and immediately opened the door. There's nobody inside. The girl shook her head slowly, "Don't-don't, someone kidnapped her."

Meanwhile, Raefal was still following the two policemen. Now they enter the police station.

"Well, how many diamonds are sold, huh?"

"It must be expensive, dong."

"Smooth girl. If so, it's sold."

The two policemen were watching Raefal's diamond. While the diamond-owning man rolled his eyeballs, "Basic man."

One of them turned on the TV. Raefal looked at the screen. Panic in the hospital due to the loss of one of the patients. And that was her. Raefal turned in shock. The police looked at each other and then looked back at the TV. There was Trissya who was being interviewed by reporters.

"I'm his friend. When I got to the hospital room, I didn't see any of my friends."

The two policemen looked at the table. There are no diamonds there. The two looked at each other with confused expressions. The TV suddenly died.

A cold atmosphere enveloped the room.

At the hospital, Trissya is still looking for Raefal. He just interviewed a reporter. The girl hopes that Raefal's body will be found soon. Someone patted his shoulder. Trissya flinched and turned her head while touching her chest. Apparently Raefal.

"Why do you want to, anyway?!" Trissya grumbling. A few passers-by stared in wonder at him who was talking alone.

"We are looking together" said Raefal, holding Trissya's hand. The girl looked at Raefal's big hand that was so cold it clasped his hand. Raefal lifted the tiny body. Suddenly Trissya felt her body being sucked into another dimension. The girl hugged Raefal's neck tightly in fear. Raefal looked at Trissya. Raefal can smell Trissya's fragrant hair.

They arrived at a beautiful place, a flower garden. There were a lot of strange flowers in that place. Strange animals and strange insects as well. Trissya was very fascinated by the natural scenery in the place.

Raefal took Trissya down. The man was limp. Trissya panicked and touched the man's shoulder, "Raefal, what are you doing?"

"Gue needs energy." The man sat down weak. Trissya rubbed Raefal's back carefully.

A white-bearded old man approached them, "Raefal Agler Zeroun!"

Trissya. The old man helped Raefal stand up, "What happened to you, son?"

Raefal touched his chest, "Someone wants to kill me and I part with my body."

The old man took Raefal and Trissya into the old hut. Raefal lay quietly with his eyes closed.

"It looks like Raefal lost some memory when someone injured him" the old man muttered

Trissya frowned, "But, she remembered his name."

The old man nodded, "What is missing is the memory of fighting with that person, not all his memories. Raefal will remember everything when he reunites with his body. It's normal to happen to a drucless nation."

"Grandfather knows who he is?" Trissya asked with a curious expression imprinted on her cute face.

"Of course, he's the son of a ruthless king in this drucless world. He's Prince Raefal of Zeroun kingdom."

Trissya digested the old grandfather's words. The old man nodded respectfully, "My name is Geross, the former physician of Zeroun kingdom. Now my duty is at the border between the human world and the drucless world."

Trissya also nodded respectfully, "Ah yes, my name is Natrissya Virlin."

Geross nodded respectfully again, "This place is the link between the human world and the drucless world. That is, humans can also enter this place. However, it was still forbidden for humans to come to the world of the drucless."

Trissya digested Geross' speech well. He understood, yet he also still did not believe what was happening today. Everything is too strange and illogical.

"Why are you with Raefal?"

"I found it in the bathroom" Trissya replied. Geross nodded in understanding then placed his fingers under his chin, "I know, who has attacked Raefal to this extent."

Trissya frowned, "Who?"

"Daeriel Amzar Zeroun, his own brother."

Suddenly, Raefal's eyes opened wide to hear the name. Trissya had heard that name in the hospital.

"Why?" Ask Raefal.

Geross rewinds his head hearing the question, "Ah, have you completely forgotten about it? Your father has entrusted the throne to your sister and given her a beautiful empress. But, you took the woman away."

Trissya was surprised to hear that. He looked at Raefal and Geross alternately.

"I can't be like that" Raefal grumbled as he got up and rubbed his hair.

"Natrissya, we get out of here. It seems like the son of a bitch is hiding my body in the human world" Raefal said. The girl was surprised because it was the first time Raefal had called her name.

Geross pulled Raefal's shoulder back to lie down. He said, "Wait a minute, Raefal. You need recovery."

"For what? This is not my body" Raefal grumbled. Geross took the diamond from Raefal's hand. The old man closed his eyes. Diamond whose color is almost faded again changed color to dark blue as before.

Trissya who witnessed that in person could only gawk.

~

Trissya was running after an animal that was jumping around like a light blue rabbit. The sweet girl looked happy. The animals there looked scared.

Raefal and Geross sat next to each other on the red grass. They both looked at the girl.

"Thank you, Grandpa Geross has taken care of me for a long time." Raefal who spoke suddenly made Geross turn his head.

"I was just treating you, Raefal. I was worried when the queen mother was pregnant with you and Daeriel went on a rampage because she didn't want to have a sister" Geross said. Raefal clucked slowly.

Geross looked at the clear sky, "I also know, your brother is always trying to kill you. He never likes what you have. When you were little, I didn't think Daeriel would stab you with a dagger. I was really freaking out when your father ordered the whole healer to save you. If we don't save you, King Baltazar will kill us all."

"It was fortunate that Grandpa Geross and the other healers helped me to heal" Raefal said.

The old man shook his head, "No, we almost lost our minds from not being able to save you. You can live until now because you have healing powers."

Raefal digested Geross's words.

Trissya showed the purple rabbit she had caught to Raefal in the distance. The rabbit looked miserable with its dense fur already in disarray as Trissya rubbed it roughly.

Raefal rolled his eyeballs, "The girl could have died." Raefal came up to Trissya. Geross smiled as he looked at Raefal's back away. The old man decided to leave them both.

"I got! I got it!" Trissya exclaimed as she showed the rabbit to Raefal. The man took the animal and let it loose.

"Yeah! Kok, detachable, anyway! I'm cape-cape!" Grumpy Trissya was about to cry. The girl turned her back to Raefal while pouting and folded her hands together. The man ignored Trissya who was lashing out again.

There's a funny insect passing by. The girl was distracted from her frustration. He touched. But the insect stung him.

"Oh, you're fierce." Trissya grimaced softly while blowing her finger. Raefal shook his head slowly looking at the silly behavior of the girl.

"Lagian lo it's like a kid. Anything seen, anything held, anything cupped." Raefal pulled Trissya's hand and crushed the girl's finger.

Trissya. He patted the man on the shoulder while trying to pull his hand, "My finger should not be eaten!"

The insect sting wound in his hand was slowly no longer painful. Raefal releases Trissya's hand. The girl immediately smelled the smell from her finger while glancing in annoyance at Raefal.

The wound is gone, the pain is gone. Raefal spoke a strange language to the animals. Trissya frowned. All the animals jumped towards them.

Trissya forgot her finger. He looked delighted as the cute animals approached. Raefal rubbed one of the animals.

"Ahh, anxiety!" Trissya was holding a fat pink animal. Raefal saw Trissya's excessive behavior. Now the girl held all the animals in her lap without feeling heavy.

Trissya elbowed Raefal's arm spoiled like a child, "I want to bring home the same pink that's green, yaa, yaaaa, yaaaa."

"Can't."

"Please." Trissya put up her puppy eyes to melt Raefal's heart.

"They could die if they were taken to another world" Raefal said. Trissya looked sad. He dropped all the animals to the ground, "Not so, deh. Pity that they died in vain."

"Let's go back to your world" said Raefal. Trissya snorted softly, "Don't want to! I still want to be here!"

"Gue can die if I don't find my body immediately" said Raefal. Trissya let out a heavy sigh, "Yes. Dede pink equals Dede green, Mama Icca goes home first, yaa. Mama will come back here again, yaa."

"There is no turning back here, this is no place for humans" said Raefal. Trissya pouted in annoyance, "So a really fierce guy, anyway!"

Raefal held out his hands to Trissya as if he wanted to hug her. The girl was confused, "What do you want?" Ask Trissya.

"Here, lo grottoes let me teleport to the human world," said Raefal as he moved his hand.

"Not to carry, ah! I'm not comfortable."

Unwilling to hear Trissya's ravings, Raefal lifted the girl's body and shouldered her like a sack of rice. Trissya was shocked and hit Raefal's back.

"OK, okay! Just ordinary carrying! No gini!"

"Thanks!!"
