After finding my camera, we intend to find a way out. However, we did not find a way out. Again Idar had to park our car and we had to walk to find a way out.

I didn't think we could have trouble getting out of this place. But, come to think of it, there was indeed no way out. I don't remember where the drucless world borders and the human world. If I remember, I can ask Grandpa Geross.

We walked while we continued recording.

"What we need to remember is that our entrance is the first pass into this forest" Dry said. Nayshilla snorted dejectedly, "Yes, yes, but, from then on we didn't find that path."

"Shit, there is no one here we can ask" said Idar. Nayshilla hits Idar's arm, "Stop swearing."

"See this!" Hearing Dry exclaiming, the four of us turned and walked up to him.

He found a path. I cringed confused, I think I've been here. I try to remember, this road is headed to an important place. But, what place?

Nayshilla and Idar had gone first. While Raefal was watching me who was still thinking hard to remember everything.

"Triss, what are you?" Ask Raefal. I looked at him and then shook my head.

"Waaaah!" That's Idar and Nayshilla. The three of us followed them.

There was a temple in front of us. It seems this place is no longer used. I saw reliefs on the temples. I remember it now.

This is the temple of Goddess Amiless. I was here with Laureen at the time. My hands moved touching the carvings that also filled the temple walls.

My gaze was fixed on the statue of a beautiful woman with winged animals perched in her hands.

Goddess Amiless.

Dry said, "This place is so cool. Like candi, yeah."

"This is a sacred temple for the drucless who worship the Goddess Amiless, as their goddess. Mother of the drucless," I said involuntarily saying so.

They're looking at me. I immediately put on a normal expression.

"Lo know something?" Ask Nayshilla.

"It looks like Trissya is, really. Here is an ancient inscription, 'Goddess Amiless the eye of the moon'. You've been here before?" Idar's speech ends with a question.

I shook my head while taking my eyes off him, "No, the cave is just a cave."

Dry seemed to be thinking with his genius brain, "This place has not been used, it seems like there was a human civilization here before. That means, there was once someone who lived in this forest."

"It looks like this place has been attacked. So, yes, it's like this, '" said Idar. Raefal added, "There may be a group of enemies from the group who built this temple and attacked them, including destroying this place."

It is up to them to assume what it is like. But, I also don't know what happened, which made this place so damaged.

"Eh there's rabbits!" Nayshilla. I looked towards her view. The white treteaa ran to hear Nayshilla's voice. Idar and Nayshilla are after him.

"Don't bother him!" My yelling. However, they did not hear.

"How do we get home?" Gerrutu Dry while sitting under a tree.

Raefal drank mineral water and gave it to me. I took it and drank the water.

Idar returned while carrying two terrified-looking treteaa in his lap. Nayshilla also took him.

"Why did you catch those animals?! Let them go, can't you see they're scared?!" I snapped at both.

"Before a while, what kind of animal is this anyway, huh? Kok, can be colorful gini," muttered Idar.

"Please, right?!" I took the wood and was ready to hit Idar.

My attitude astonished my friends. Idar and Nayshilla immediately released the treteaa to the ground. The animals immediately left.

"Lo why, anyway? Ever since the ration and drowned in that river, you've been weird. You're possessed, huh?" Gerrutu Idar.

"Udah is up, we continue the journey" Dry said.

We didn't find a way out. Even the night has come. My friends began to feel increasingly awkwardness that made them frightened.

"The new cave watch refers to the number 9 noon. Why is it here tonight?" Nayshilla Grunts.

The red moon is covered with black clouds. The lighting that night is getting thin. Good thing we brought flashlight.

Idar muttered softly, "The longer, this place gets worse."

Raefal and Dry sat down. It seemed like their power was running out, due to being in this place for too long.

The cloud is over. The red moon is back. Idar looked at the moon and said, "Nyeremin, really."

I responded, "Lo remembers right in the temple, you read the ancient inscription, 'Goddess Amiless the eyes of the moon'. That is, that red moon is the eyes of Goddess Amiless."

Hearing my words, they looked at me.

"Lo know where?" Tanya Dry's. I'm looking for an excuse, "Gua's read the article."

"Is there an article about this forest? Who has ever come here? I think we are one of them" said Idar.

Suddenly I heard a whisper in my ear, Mother, back in the car. I'll show you the way out.

It's the sound of Laureen. I think he's behind me. I rubbed my arms that felt creepy.

"We go back to the car again, we find a way out while carrying a car. We may die of soy sauce if we keep going," I said.

Fortunately, they listened to me. Idar drives, as usual. Dry sat next to Idar. Nayshilla, me, and Raefal were sitting in the back.

Laureen was constantly whispering directions to me. So I can show you the way out on Idar.

We finally found the highway. Your friends are astonished, because daylight is taking place in the human world. We just got out of the woods at midnight.

Without thinking, we returned to Jakarta that day. No one wants to stop for a break. They were quite shocked by the awkwardness they were experiencing. We really wanted to go home and feel like home was the only safe place.

I arrived at the mansion belonging to the Mahali family.

Yes, my name is Natrissya Mahali, the second daughter of a father named Rahaji Pratama Mahali, and a mother named Lavina R. Mahalis. I feel lucky to have been born into the Mahali family.

My father was a businessman, and so was my mother. They are busy with their own business. They sometimes look at me, sometimes not.

Maybe that is why my nature and attitude in this life is a little less good, than I was in the previous life.

At home there is only my mom. Some waiters are on duty.

"You're home, Trissya? Ah, Mama is worried about you. Called many times, not connecting constantly," this beautiful mama ceroscos. I smiled and sat down next to him.

I answered, "His name is also in the forest, Ma, there is no signal."

"Next time don't go into the woods again. Mama almost told papa you called the air force for your noses."

I laugh. This is my mama's exaggeration. Why call the air force? They have a more important task than finding a girl from the Mahali family.

"Your sister is also the same sprain you who went not to say to him," said Mama while drinking orange juice.

"When I say with brother, he won't let me go. I need content for youtube" I said. Mama shook her head, "Know this, your sister will tell you to stop being a youtuber."

I rolled my eyeballs, "Ah, he's cruel."

There were footsteps entering the family room. I looked at the door. Both of my eyes widened to see the man in black clothes stepping over to us.

His eyes were so sharp that they looked at me meaningfully.

My heart is beating fast. I feel really scared right now. The man brought his face closer and then kissed both of my cheeks in turn.

"You running away from me, bad brother?" His baritone voice echoed in this room. While I'm still frozen. The man sat beside me while releasing his tie.

"You're going home soon, Daeriel?" Ask Mama.

Yes, that man is Daeriel Mahali, my real brother. Why can I forget, he is my brother in this life.

"I'm from Adry, Trissya is home. So, I want to see my naughty sister. I need an explanation as to why he left without my permission." Daeriel said without letting go of his attention from me.

I was really scared to see it that way. I swallowed the saliva and ventured to answer, "I've permission to Mama with Papa."

"You should also have permission from Brother. Ah, because you heard back in the forest, you didn't go to Singapore" Daeriel said with a tired expression.

"Sorry," I said slowly. Daeriel frowned and brought her face closer, making me rewind my body to my mama.

"When did you know the word sorry? You never apologize, even if you're wrong" Daeriel said.

I smiled stiffly, "So, huh? Hehe, I will correct my attitude. I'll be a good boy from now on."

Daeriel chuckled then rubbed my hair, "Good, I'm proud of you."

After saying that, he passed up the stairs towards his room.

"Daeriel loves you very much. He's a good brother. You must have a husband as good as him" said the mother, embracing me.

I remember Raefal.

~

The night has come. Yes, the night in the human world. I'm, right, human.

No other activities. I lay in bed playing with my phone.

I was scared, because my guess was right. Daeriel reincarnated as well as me and Raefal. However, I also felt calm, because Daeriel was born as my brother. Not anyone else.

That means, he can't have me like in his previous life.

All three of my wishes have been fulfilled. Laureen is free from the curse, Raefal and I are back together, and Daeriel cannot be my side anymore.

Ah, pleased.

He only asked me after returning from the forest. I also asked him back about his news.

Yeah, we chatan long enough. Suddenly I remembered something. My camera, I haven't checked it.

I moved it to the laptop the videos we had taken in the woods.

Checked one by one until the last tape when I fell drowned into the river. The camera also fell in. I looked up at the big red irises.

I thought I was hallucinating. But this camera is telling the truth. The camera fell first to the bottom of the river and there was a figure of a woman's body drowning. That was me!

There was a grass on display at the bottom of the river whose edges were tipped to my back. It was as if the grass was pulling my body to sink to the bottom of the river.

This camera records everything. Those big eyes were watching my body and occasionally flickered.

It makes me feel like I see it myself. Until there was Raefal who took me to the mainland.

My waterproof camera is still recording. Those red eyes were on the camera.

Really am! I really get creeped out and scared! It was as if he was looking at me now. This time I could see her lips grinning coldly.

There was a horrible female laughter.

However, for a long time the eyes were closed. I don't understand why both eyes are closed. However, after the 'something' had closed its eyes, some fish and river animals began to swim and move in front of my camera.

There was a figure swimming near the camera. I frowned, it was Raefal who took my camera.

"Ah, the camera's still recording."

I gasped in shock when one of the maids came and told me to dinner.

At the dinner table, there was plenty of food. Mom and Dad ate relaxed. There's Daeriel there too. I started feeding food into my mouth.

After dinner, I intend to return to my room. However, papa told me to sit back and inevitably, I would listen to papa speak.

Not without reason. If there is a conversation, it can be up to 4 hours. Ah, this is exhausting. Not only did I listen, I also had to sit here for a long time.

"Trissya, you've been in college for a long time. When do you want to hold Papa's company like your sister, Daeriel?" Ask Papa.

I cringe, how is this? What else do I have to reason? I'm lazy to take care of that company. Every day I sit down and watch the performance of the employees. That's not fun at all.

Ah, it turns out being reborn not only makes me happy, but it upsets me too.

It's better to be a mini market officer.

"You still want to mess with the camera?" Ask papa. I saw Daeriel and Mama looking at me.

I played my toe down there. I'm really nervous. Hearing papa's tone, it seems to be serious and can be angry at any time.

"I don't want to be your kind of businessman, actually" I said slowly. Papa frowned, "So, what do you want?"

Not getting my answer, mama and Daeriel looked at each other. Papa was still looking at me, hoping I would give him an answer.

"You don't want to take care of Papa's company, you have to get married."

I stared at papa. I can't believe what I just heard.

The marriage?

Ah, this is impossible.

"Papa, if Trissya gets married, how about Daeriel? It should have been the oldest son who got married" said Mama. It seems like my mother is on my side and trying to win my position.

"Daeriel still has to focus on her work. Papa doesn't demand much from him. Trissya is not serious about her future. As Papa's friends know, you're a youtuber."

"It's wrong to be a youtuber?" Ask slowly. I saw that papa was thinking, "Yes, no. Youtuber is good too. But, you are a graduate from the best campus in Indonesia, why not become an entrepreneur like Papa? Your majors also connect your cooperation later."

Yes, I entered that department also because of Papa's wishes.

"Yes, Pah. Let Trissya be just as common. If he's married, what's the point of trying?" Daeriel concluded with a question. He seems to want to defend me too. I finally have 2 allies.

"When she marries, her childish attitude will change. She will grow up under the guidance of her husband. So, Papa will not demand him to hold Papa's company again," said Papa.

I digest Papa's words. Isn't that easy? I'm looking for a man who wants to marry me. Then, I will be free forever from corporate duties.

Papa said again, "Papa also already has some men that Trissya can choose later."

I was shocked and immediately replied, "But I already have a boyfriend."

All eyes were on me. I swallowed the saliva out of nervousness.

"Do you have a boyfriend? Since when? As far as Brother is concerned, you've never dated." Daeriel asked with a suspicious expression. Mama replied, "You have a boyfriend, why don't you go to Mama?"

Damn you, Trissya. What are you talking about?!

"Well, you want to talk to that guy." After saying so, Papa passed away leaving the dining table.

I breathe heavily. The only man I have in my brain right now is Raefal. Maybe he wants to marry me? Yeah, maybe he wants to. But, it's impossible to be sparse.

"Trissya, tonight we go, yuk." Daeriel's words made me turn to him and I nodded automatically.

~

I wear jeans and a white t-shirt wrapped in a white denim jacket as well. Tonight my brother, aka Daeriel Mahali wants to take me on a road.

As I passed by papa's study, I saw the door open slightly. Curious too, I peeked.

I'm sorry, I'm a child full of curiosity. Papa was focusing on his computer screen. But my dad is not focused on working. Papa is streaming youtube.

"Ah, I'm curious about the same Trissya youtube channel. Channel name-what, huh?" Papa muttered slowly. But I can still hear his voice.

Papa doesn't like youtube. But, papa also plays youtube. Gimana, anyway.

I walked down the stairs and met my mother. I'm gonna go out for a second with Daeriel. Mama gave permission.

I saw Daeriel already in the car. We just went around a little.

"Wanna go to the dining room?" Ask Daeriel. I shook my head, "Kan, it was dinner last night. I'm on a diet."

Silent.

Daeriel refocused on driving. I also have no intention of making any conversation with him. A very boring night.

"Who's your boyfriend? Adry said you never looked like you had a boyfriend on campus before" asked Daeriel. I let out a heavy sigh, "I'm confused to say anything so papa doesn't mean I take care of the company."

"So you lied to me, papa?" Daeriel asked as if she could not believe my attitude. I shook my head quickly, "I don't think so, I do have a guy who's out. But, the problem is.. does he want to marry me?"

Daeriel stopped the car in front of the cafe. I looked at him.

"Papa really just wants to have a grandson."

I was surprised to hear that. Daeriel continued his sentence, "Before telling you, papa said to Big Brother first. Papa wants to get married immediately. But, Brother's girlfriend is not married yet. Old brother make him."

I just found out, my sister has a boyfriend. Since when? We rarely talk about our relationship. We are quite close and discuss things that need to be discussed only.

"Ah, I'm so wrong" I complained.

"We go inside and talk while having coffee" Daeriel said. I'm nodding.

We went to the cafe and ordered a cold cup of coffee.

That night we talked about the problems hidden in each other's hearts. I also talked about Raefal to her.

"Raefala? Adry once told her to Big Brother that time. As far as you know, you don't like him. Why do you suddenly like him?" Daeriel asked confusedly.

I was also confused as to how to explain it.

"I like him, really."

"Adry said, you went to the forest together. There's Raefal too. Don't you get pellets with him" Daeriel said. I frowned in wonder, it turned out that Daeriel could believe that as well.

Yes, Daeriel and Adry have known each other and been close enough for a long time. They are like friends who never break up contact, even though sometimes they are not in one country.

"No, I'm serious." I refuted. Daeriel is still unsure of my answer. He seems to doubt me very, very much.

Ah, even though Daeriel is destined to be my big brother in this life, it doesn't seem like he will easily let me get into a relationship with Raefal.

"The reason you like him, what try? Don't tell me, 'cause he's handsome. Everyone knows, that handsome isn't the main reason for someone to fall in love."

Daeriel's question made me have to think of the right reason for his common sense, "That was once drowning in a river in the woods. He's got me. I have been hurting her feelings all this time. He's a good guy."

Daeriel shook his head, "That's his name you feel indebted to him."

Ah, I have to say what try?

"Before you bring him together papa, you must meet him with Brother first. Brother wants to know if he really deserves the daughter of a Mahali."

Ah, start again his arrogant attitude. It seemed like Daeriel was indeed born for such arrogance.

"What would you like to say if you've met him? Brother's not gonna be weird, is he?" Askaqua. Daeriel glanced at me for a moment, "Look at me later."

"Sister does not agree with my relationship with Raefal, it will make papa wait again to have grandchildren. I can accept papa's request to hold his company. Papa will turn to Brother and ask brother to marry as soon as possible. What if it happens?"

Hearing my words, Daeriel seemed to digest well what I said.

"You're so scared of losing Raefal, aren't you?"

Three thousand more years in the drucless world and 30 years in the human world it is not a short time. I've been waiting for these moments. I'm waiting for this.

And. I hate to wait if it's not for Raefal. Exaggerated, but this is how I feel.

After returning from the cafe, I entered the room and threw my tired body onto the bed.

I have to tell you what Raefal is, try it? Ah, why is this so hard. I thought, I won't find any other difficulties.

I saw the video I was playing on pause. Am I going to tell anyone about the video?

Too scary.
