GRIM REAPER'S GIRLFRIEND

THIRTY-SIX

Andrea put her foot into the river and shivered. "Wuwuaaahhhh coldnessaa-"

"And fresh." Added Seroja. "This place has not been touched by humans because of that" pointed Seroja.

Andrea saw a white monkey sitting quietly on a boulder beside the river as if he was watching and protecting the river. "That-"

"That's the protector of this area, we've been friends for a long time" Seroja took off his crown. "If anyone has any ill intentions then this river will drown and drive him away from this place, so no crocodile is eyeing the prey even though this is in the forest."

"Oh yes, yes. But what about the story of the crocodile waiting for the river?" Andrea began to wonder about the story. Actually he was scared but learning a little is okay?

"If there is such a thing, it means that the river is polluted." Seroja explained patiently.

"Pinked?" andrea did not understand.

"The bottom line is if there is a river inhabited by crocodiles then the river is no longer clean." Seroja cupped water with both hands. "Like this water, it's very clear."

Andrea scratched her non-itchy head. "I don't really understand, the end of human habit can not distinguish between the original crocodile and crocodile so-called events."

"Well, only those who have the ability can." Seroja splashing water to the shoulder. "Ah, it's been a long time since I've calmed down like this."

Andrea pensive. "If you look carefully, you are like an angel. Beautiful, strong and very happy to take a bath, when I heard the genie, the devil and his countrymen do not like to bathe and clean themselves."

Seroja did not reply to Andrea's words. Someday Andrea will know for herself.

Andrea played her feet in the water, sitting next to Seroja. "Until when will this be over?"

"Until we find that keris and destroy it" Seroja replied.

"Are we not destroying the genie? the genie who made a pact to take my life? that time we destroyed it."

"Jonathan destroyed it, not me."

"Yes, but-" Andrea did not continue her sentence.

"Actually I must not go too far, the matter of death is left to the life-seeking angel. If the master we protect is on the death list then we can't do anything different if our master isn't on the list but his life is about to be stolen."

"Like an unborn baby?" ask Andrea.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Seroja." Call Andrea.

Seroja. "What's wrong?"

"If we still can't find it here, where are we looking?" asked Andrea who was starting to worry.

"Of course." Seroja is also worried, if the worst possibility arises like that.

"Seroja. Why are you so relaxed? time keeps turning and they-let alone, my mom and sister must be worried. I can't stay here either!" Andrea was getting frustrated. "How many hours have we been here?" tanyakanya.

"Bring Andrea first, to ease your emotions and fatigue." Seroja pulled Andrea's hand into the water quickly so Andrea could not fight back.

"SEROD!" andrea's head emerged from the water. "What if I drown?!"

"Shall be." Seroja Smile.

Andrea stood up and looked down. "Ah right, her height is only as high as a waist."

"It won't drown." Seroja closed her eyes and enjoyed the bath. "If this were in the palace"

Seduced by Seroja, Andrea sat down beside Seroja slowly. "Ah, right. It's so fresh, even though I'm wearing a leng-erh, what's that?"

Seroja looked up and raised his hands into the air. "The pigeon, must be Seruni."

"Ah, we're saved."

"What?" asked Andrea curiously. "The gris has been found? we gotta hurry up there?"

"No, your two cousins don't have daughters."

Andrea smiled with relief. "really? thank goodness!"

If both cousins give birth to the first granddaughter, then Seroja must change masters while she still needs Seroja's help.

Seroja's face stiffened as she read the follow-up report from Seruni, after which she burned the letter. "Importantly we can be relieved now and concentrate on finding our original purpose."

"But why is your face so tense? is there anything" asked Andrea who was worried.

"Nothing, just a matter of the palace." Seroja Geleng who still refused to tell a story.

"Is your palace in trouble?" insist Andrea who wants to help Seroja even though it is rather useless.

"No Andrea, you don't have to worry. Someone's already handling it." Seroja calms Andrea. "No need to worry, if anything happens - my subordinates can still cope. You're pretty concerned here."

Andrea nodded in doubt, still seeing Seroja's tense face. "Seroja, I'd feel guilty if anything happened to you and your kingdom."

Seroja looked confused.

Andrea smiled sadly. "You bonded with my ancestors and did many things like this, I should be able to thank you."

"This is my job."

Andrea nodded in understanding as well as let out a long sigh. "If there's anything I can do to help, I'll help you as hard as I can."

"Enough to live in peace and quiet has relieved my heart."

Andrea pondered then ventured to ask Seroja. "So you guys ever see me cry dong? I'm so embarrassed."

"Crying is a natural process for humans, our nation has also cried. So it's not embarrassing."

"But I'm ashamed." Andrea covered her face with both hands. "You know my bad nature."

"Is crying also part of the bad nature?" tanya Seroja did not understand.

"Don't crying invite negative beings?" Andrea asked back.

Seroja. "Yes, if it is too protracted in grief, there are even negative beings trying to whisper humans to do stupid things, one of the worst is suicide."

Andrea had thought about this. "Sorry."

"Don't repeat."

Andrea nyengir's. "Because I know there is you, I promise I won't do it even though life is hard."

Seroja wanted to say something and then held her back, she let Andrea soak in a relaxing bath without thinking about the painful past.

"Sorry." Mumbled Seroja and then again enjoyed a soak.

Andrea closed her eyes and started thinking about the past. God is never unfair only man is never grateful. He used to complain and complain why he was born and then his life was a mess like this, but after rethinking. All of that is part of the script made by each human being, God only helps and appears if needed.

Andrea opened her eyes and looked up at the sky. If only his father wanted to live a normal life, maybe he would not meet with mas Jo then how can mas Jo undergo the ritual? is it destiny with another woman? are the two of them going to fight together like they are now?

Andrea could not imagine, his favorite angel along with other women and then undergo the ritual together. Appears jealous in his mind.
