For You Little Girl's

CHAPTER 42 LOOK AT YOUR ENEMY

The gurgling of the falling water sounded like a soothing hum. Cold air in the morning, again – again makes me pull the blanket after finishing the morning prayer. I took one of those jackets and put it on.

“Huft, very cold, Yes Allah”, my mumble that has been beautifully curled under the covers.

The sleepiness started to make me lose consciousness. I fell asleep under the dim luminous luminescence – dim. When I was asleep for a long time, – arrived I felt a silhouette of someone standing in front of me. The glow of that light, made it hard to see that person's face.

“Diamonds, whenever you step up, do not forget to ask for protection to Him Almighty, Allah. I'll be waiting for you. Remember, son, someone you consider an enemy, he could be the one on your side. Pay attention to your enemy, Nak”, said one who claimed to be my father.

My body cannot move at all. My mouth seemed locked, though I was eager to run and hug the figure. The person I so longed for slowly drifted away as the blinding rays of eyes began to blur.

I woke up with sweat on my forehead and soaked my body. A dream that lasts a while, quite draining my energy. I fell silent trying to recall that dream.

Someone I consider an enemy, is on my side. I muttered while trying to understand the meaning of the dream. My focus broke, as the sound of someone behind the door started to tease me.

With a lazy step, I opened the door with the hijab I was wearing. My forehead wrinkled to find Naya already in front of my room. “What's up, Nay?”, I asked with eyebrows going up and down.

“I want to go now”, Naya's words make me reflect.

“Leave a minute, Nay. There is something I want to talk about”, I said that makes Naya look considering my words.

Naya shook her head. “I must immediately find a poison cure for Uncle. If it stays here, I'm afraid something will happen to uncle. Moreover, the man named Regal still continues to target me and uncle”, explained Naya who made me carve a smile.

“I know the antidote”, my words that make Naya look sharply at me.

I chuckled at Naya's expression that looked like she wanted to eat me alive – alive. “Naya, the more here, the more open my eyes are. Don't you realize, our number is increasing?”, I asked with a ignorant smile that made Naya careless to see me.

“Do not easily believe”, said Naya who made me hold both shoulders.

“Indeed, we can't be too trusting. But, here the key”, said I who took one of Naya's hands and put it right into her heart. “The path is too winding with small pebbles slowly turning into large rocks. Too naive, if you choose to get rid of it yourself”, I continued again with a smile.

Naya fell silent with the look of her eyes weakening. “I've lost a lot of things, Ra. I was just afraid”, I immediately hugged Naya. “We break together the same –, Nay”, I said with a hand that kept wiping Naya's back.

...***...

In the other room, there was a girl standing on the side of the balcony of her room with a weak body. In his view the morning sky that lowered the speck of rain with the mind drifting.

Bang, sorry. I was so careless that I didn't realize they were after me. Again and again, I failed to understand the situation.

Not long after, his phone vibrated indicating that there was a notification of incoming messages. Yira, how are you? Sorry, I haven't been able to see you. The plan is, I'll be in your room in ten minutes, hehe.

The short message I sent just made the girl sigh. He also began to fix himself so as not to be too pitiful. Not long after, there was the sound of the door being knocked which made Yira immediately open the door with a frown.

I just smiled by pulling on someone who was still wearing a piece of cloth covering part of his face. He then sat down on the sofa in the room. Yira sat right in front of me.

While Naya can only clench her hand holding back anger, when she found out that the girl she helped yesterday was the one who had harmed her uncle. However, I managed to convince her that Naya could suppress that anger.

Naya's hand was lifted open the cloth and it looked like someone was hiding behind it. Netra Yira fiddled with a sharp look towards me.

“Yira, I was originally the same as you, assuming that Mr. Badir was the mastermind of this uproar. But, he was just a pawn that was used to keep us trapped by our own conjectures. In essence, the person we are aiming for is a middle-aged man who I estimate is the same age as my grandfather”, I explained by continuing to pay attention to the change in Yira's expression.

“I just realized it. Last night, something reminded me of an incident that only now I understand”, continued me again who began to recount the incident where the man wanted to take me and take the necklace that I always wore.

“So, Naya is just the initial feed?”, Yira asked while looking at Naya.

I nodded my head to justify Yira's words. “Now, we have to uncover Cyra's death first to make that man named Regal feel uncomfortable. I'm sure, gradually the man who ever came to me first will definitely appear” soon.

Naya, who was still worried about her uncle's situation, immediately made a sound. “Then, what about the antidote?”, he asked with a sharp look towards Yira.

Yira refused to answer. “The antidote is only his brother Yira knows. So, we also have to immediately find the whereabouts of his brother”, I said again.

...***...

The rumbling of the stomach began to let out his protest. This morning's cold made me and the others late for breakfast. The – ninja-style man had asked workers there to prepare breakfast.

After breakfast, I began to break the silence created during breakfast. “Do you guys have the same vision and mission as me?”, I asked while looking at the four – men.

Someone among them answered my question. “It looks like so. More precisely, they are both”, he said while pointing towards masked men – men and men – men dressed in ninja style alternately. The answer is Raka.

I sighed, because the faces of the four of them were still hidden. “Alright, assure me one thing that we have the same goal, then we work together”, I said firmly.

Without me noticing, the corner of the lips of the masked man – was attracted slightly, but not clearly. I think the veil of mystery will soon break. Seeing you now makes me believe that you are ready for surprises.

“Insiden dozens of years ago. Eliminating many lives and manipulating the state of”, masked male – who is none other than Rauf immediately issued his answer.

“Death to those who are innocent, instead of the perpetrator must be responsible?”, replied – men dressed as ninjas who are none other than Ray.

I smiled wide enough to make both men – men stunned.

Well-favoured.

That compliment, the same – they say in their hearts – each. “Alright, deal”, my words that spread their momentary daydreams. Actually, I already trusted the masked man –, because of my belief that he was my savior first. Moreover, he has helped me several times.
