He's a different one

Realizing very well how strong the instincts that might have been Ralin lately, Andra tried to resist any changes in school order that he had done with his friends before. He even had to control the time whenever he realized Ralin was paying attention to the school frenzy from the same place. On the corner bench under the shade tree of the school yard.

Maybe all this time Ralin was not affected in the slightest by the changes that I or my friends did. I really didn't notice that from the very beginning I met him.

Andra was silent watching Ralin staring at him. In just a moment, Ralin threw away his gaze and casually greeted the one who had come to him. The figure of the man was wearing a high-necked ash t-shirt that covered up part of his neck. Clad in a relaxed black blazer with matching trousers, making his figure look quite striking for Ralin. Long reddish black hair that exceeds the limit of the ear as if allowed to look messy. The shape of the face that was firmly combined with a sharp nose, eyebrows and narrow eyes, and tiny lips that sing a smile to him made Ralin can immediately remember the figure that is still standing in front of him.

" You... I mean, who are you? " ask Ralin. Unlike the mysterious impression shown by the man during their first meeting or rather when they cross paths for the first time. It turns out that the authority possessed by this man figure is really able to make the calmness of Ralin snatched just by looking briefly with his figure.

" Just you! It sounded more familiar" said the man with a truly distinctive smile on Ralin. The dimples that looked faintly made Ralin reluctant to turn his gaze away.

" Oh! Ng... Aye! You, who?? " ask Ralin. " This is the second time I've seen you at school? "

Not immediately answering, the man again smiled by Ralin's behavior. This time there was satisfaction behind the smile that the man showed. " Include, "the man held out a handshake of an introductory sign to Ralin. " Qean Putrawangsa's. "

Feeling not so unfamiliar with the man's name, Ralin returned the man's handshake without hesitation.

" Ralin Adityapati. "

When the hands shook and touched, there was a deep sense in the heart of Ralin. There was a deep sense of pity and sadness that made Ralin involuntarily shed his tears. A feeling as strong as the longing he felt towards Andra's figure whenever their gazes met.

Why am I this sad... What is this taste?? Heavy and unexplained. Ralin immediately held his left chest which suddenly felt pain.

The man's hands swiftly held Ralin's body down and wiped the tears that fell down Ralin's cheeks at that time. " Why do you suddenly have to shed tears like this? " his carefree laughter made Ralin stunned.

The pain in his left chest that was still throbbing erratically, bringing Ralin to look at the figure of Andra who suddenly seemed so hateful to look at him. The more pain, Ralin held his left chest firmly. At the head of the hand when he was no longer able to withstand the pain that continued to flare up and hit the heart very hard. His head was suddenly dizzy and Ralin drowned falling in the arms of a man named Qean who intended to help Ralin.

" Why are you?? "

Only that sentence was the last that Ralin heard before he finally lost all consciousness.

“ Destroy them all... You can do it easily... ” the voice of the afternoon's hoarse whisper incites gently behind the ear.

The shadow of the chaos of a small village again flashed in Ralin's memory. That whisper right behind his ear. It sounded so subtle, whispering in a raucous voice punctuated by some screams and blasphemy of other voices directed at him. Ralin was silent as all the shadows burst out and touched his painful memories. There was only a darkness that slowly brought the shadow of his dream into a real memory.

" Kill! " that raucous voice sounded resolute and rained down on memory.

Like losing control of himself, Ralin prepared to stick his fangs covered in the figure he was carrying.

“ Control yourself..” Andra's sentence suddenly ringed in the ear of Ralin along with the appearance of a mysterious figure that appears blurred from the eyes.

The figure of the black-robed man approached and the owner of the whisper behind Ralin bounced away

backtrack. Not having time to turn to the owner of the whispering voice, the black-robed figure had already taken Ralin away from the chaos that occurred.

Waking up in the middle of the pine forest at dusk, the figure of Ralin who was dressed in black as a knee woke up and stepped in the memory of his other dreams. Where the mysterious figure he always dreamed of no longer exists. The expanse of the white rose was now only a thorny bush that scratched every inch of skin when Ralin ran into it. There was no more pain or pain, all Ralin did was to rush into the bush to look for the mysterious black-robed figure that should be standing at the end of this bush.

“ Control yourself.. ” a hand slaps the head of Ralin who is now resting resignedly at the end of this thorny bush.

His gaze looked over at the figure of the black-robed man who was slowly opening his head cover. Recognize the man's face. It's Andra. With a deep look of sadness. Trying to reach for that sad face, Ralin's hand touched her cheek which felt very cold. The smile welcomed me. A gentle touch returned the caress of Ralin's cheek. It wasn't just Andra's hand, the black-robed man. But the same little girl's hand in the black dress gently stroked Ralin's hair. Smiling sweet. Ralin finally recalled the small face of Leticia Caroline Dascha.

Opening her eyes slowly welcoming the dark night, Ralin recalled the forgotten things of her past. Memories that should not be open at this time. His memory will be a promise to be together forever.

" Sorry!! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! " Ralin was surprised. Waking up in the same room as before, Ralin noticed the Turkish green room with a slightly thick blanket with a color approaching pink peach already covered most of his body. Beside his bed was closed the figure of Qean who continued to hold Ralin's hand. His hair covered almost part of his face which seemed very soothing when the man was asleep.

" You're delirious too hard" said Qean, who suddenly opened his eyes and gave a bright smile to see Ralin emerging from his stupor. " You fainted. And I brought you here. "

" really? " Ralin held the back of his neck. There was something different from what he felt at the moment. Like forgetting something important.

" Ralin? " call for the Qean who returned smiling. Although it was said to be an ordinary smile, but that smile did not radiate from his eyes at all. His eyes look bright but they are not.

" Yes Qean? Wh why? " Ralin stared in wonder seeing Qean suddenly bring his face closer to Ralin's crown. " It's good to know you. "one kiss was given Qean on Ralin's forehead who could only be silent stiff with the thing that suddenly happened.

" Sorry! " Qean pulled himself from Ralin's side.

From to the ravine, on the branch of one of the pine trees behind the window glass beside the UKS nursery bed, another figure noticed with annoyance that immediately reached at its peak. For centuries, never once did he feel as bad as the taste he has today. Seeing and watching Ralin who he had been waiting for for a long time now accompanied by a man who he had known his figure, Andra growled annoyed. Hoping that the figure never returned and was present between her and the figure of Ralin, Andra immediately emitted a darkness and caused a commotion along the pine forest he passed to go far away.

Different gusts of wind gushed in from the expanse of pine forest behind the school. Fulfilling and circling the entire school environment, the hawaii teased Ralin who immediately looked out the back window of the UKS room and also the managers of Osis who were struggling with the work he did. Celine and Nathan instantly realized the disturbing air was the anger emitted by Andra's figure. They stopped their activities. Intending to find Andra's current whereabouts, Atlas rushes ahead of the chase and matches Leticia's retreat in increasingly cloudy and foggy weather to the deepest part of the pine forest that surrounds her school environment.

" What's up? " Alas stopped Leticia's pace on one of the tree branches in the middle of the forest.

" We just have to find Andra as soon as possible. " Leticia looks so worried. Never had he felt such a piercing air from Andra. Even after centuries of togetherness. This was the first time Leticia felt compelled to calm Andra from her anger.

" We split up! " Celine shot east towards the side of town. Atlas darted straight north towards the old castle fortified by lightning bolts. Leticia's heading straight west. Screaming against the twilight light that still shines with its light.

Following Celine, Atlas and Leticia far ahead of him, Nathan stops his steps right in front of the UKS room where he sees the whereabouts of Ralin. Ralin was not alone. He was with a male figure he had met several times in school committee meetings. The man stared. Just a glance, but Nathan felt something so different from the figure of the man. Just as his beard as when he tried to convince the figure of Ralin some time before in the same place.

UKS school room.

" Want me to take you home?? " take a haggle after looking out of the room awkwardly. Ensuring that there was no one else in the quiet school environment, Qean continued his words.  "It was late in the afternoon, and it seemed like there was no one here...  "

" Hm... " In addition to feeling awkward about Qean's offer, Ralin also showed his doubts. There was something that made him not want to accept the offer. The strong Eve, now increasingly disturbing his mind, reminded him of Andra and a pent-up anger. Not turning his gaze away from the pine forest that was behind the window of the UKS room, Qean showed indignation in his heart and mind.

" A minute, I called my sister first" replied Ralin afterwards.

" Please." replied Qean while checking the notification on his phone. There was a smile on her lips before she answered Ralin's desire to call her sister. " If the big brother you're referring to is the head of the Osis school, he might have gone straight home. "

" why? " Ralin had just hung up his phone call after he was connected to the voice of the operator.

" He's taking the committee meeting in my place. " Qean smiled knot. In just an instant, he glanced at Ralin then stepped out casually. " so... Let me take you home today. As a sign of apology for my earlier silliness.  "

Hearing his sincere words, Ralin agreed to his offer. The thing that Ralin did immediately invited Qean's laughter. He turned to look at Ralin with a gaze that truly felt familiar to Ralin.

" I really miss that from your figure, Lin. "

Ralin. Qean's words were like he had heard before. Her slightly wet voice and very distinctive laughter with a fluffy smile and her eyes that instantly narrowed, made Ralin repeat a missed time in the course of his life.
