GRIM REAPER'S GIRLFRIEND

THIRTY SEVEN

Aya sat leaning against the cave wall while holding Jo, Jonathan's stuffed penguin. "How much longer do we have to wait?"

"A little more."

"I can't tell if it's morning or night out there." Aya closed her eyes.

Jo looked back. "You'd better take a break, you'll have your friends outside helping out."

"I mean Jonathan's friend?" Aya scratched her nape. "Well, he's both angels but I still doubt that he's trying to kill me and Andrea even if it's for Jonathan's sake."

"I know."

"Where do you know that?"

"When my master made me, part of his memory went along."

Aya let out a breath. "I hate to have to wait here."

TWOGH! TWOGH!

Aya turned her head towards the entrance of the cave that was shaking violently. "What's that?"

"We've moved, it seems to be an unpleasant place." Answer Jo.

TWOGH! TWOGH!

Aya ran off and sat down beside Jonathan, holding tightly onto Jonathan's shirt.

"Don't be noisy, they forced their way in here out of curiosity, but they didn't know anyone was here." Tegur Jo's.

Aya's head was buried into Jonathan's shoulders. He's really scared right now. "Until when is it like this?"

TWOGH! TWOGH!

"What exactly is that?" asked Aya who was trembling in fear.

"It was just an ordinary beast, it seemed like his home was indeed inside a cave. The animal was angry that it couldn't get into his house." Answer Jo.

Aya ignores Jo's explanation, she dhikr in heart.

Jonathan and Seruni's friends have moved in the middle of the rice field. Their presence was not visible in the eyes of ordinary humans.

"You don't work?" ask Seruni.

Jonathan's friend bared his right hand to Seruni. "Look! It's all over, I'll just keep an eye on it."

Seruni examined it carefully. "It's good that you work, now how do we start?"

"What?"

Seruni turned both eyeballs. "Keris it."

Jonathan's friend racked his brains. "Where is the real deal now?"

"It seems to be looking for keris in the waterfall, I was there." Answer Seruni.

"Then we go back to Andrea's house.

"What's going there for again?" ask Seruni.

"We use fast and rough ways. To the shaman father Andrea, it means we have to meet with Andrea's sister."

"What does Andrea's sister have to do with that shaman?" ask Seruni.

Jonathan's friend snorted annoyed. "You ever keep Andrea from feeling anything?"

Seruni raised one of her eyebrows to demand an answer.

"Listen, I never met Andrea's sister in person, but back home I knew something was wrong with her sister, in other words there were most likely some supernatural beings that were originally attached to Andrea so it turned to her sister."

Seruni glared in horror. "Why am I never thinking?"

"Of course you never think up there, your focus is only Andrea." Syndir friend Jonathan.

"You-never met a creature that clings to Andrea's sister?" ask Seruni.

"There's one who lives in his room, I think it's easy to meet the creature, especially if we're forced to talk."

"So she was there?" ask Seruni.

Jonathan's friend sighed. "If now it looks like the herd has an alias of its host. Andrea's sister."

"We're going there." Seruni held Jonathan's hand and carried out transportation.

Jonathan's friends see various supernatural creatures attached to the body of Andrea's sister. As per his guess, the supernatural creatures some of which came from the shaman father Andrea.

Seruni looked at the disgust of the creatures and began to count. "One, two, three-"

"Tremendous intention of counting."

Seruni ignored Jonathan's friend's circus. "There's about 20. Which one do you want to ask? they're staring at us with annoyance."

Jonathan's friend snorted annoyed. "Because of you."

"It's my fault."

"Who are you?" one of the supernatural creatures that latches onto Andre approaches Jonathan and Seruni's friend.

"We want to ask." Jonathan's friend takes a step forward. "You know the father of the child you are looking for? the shaman." Ask Jonathan's friend.

"You mean Mahmud's friend?" ask one of the female beings.

Mahmud?

Jonathan's friend tried to remember the owner of the name.

Seruni nudged Jonathan's friend's hand. "The name of Andrea's birth father."

Jonathan's friend snapped his finger. "A-thank you."

"What is your relationship with Mahmud?" ask one of the magical creatures in the form of a child.

"Little children don't follow me, I know you don't know anything." Seruni took a step forward to challenge them. "No matter what our business is with this Mahmud, who must have told us that information!"

Jonathan's friend clapped his hands in excitement.

"What do you want to know?"

Seruni and Jonathan's friend took a step back. This time they face the figure of the oldest supernatural creature inhabiting the body of Andrea's sister.

Jonathan's friend whistled loudly. "It seems harder than my shadow."

Seruni glanced at Jonathan's friend and looked straight at the medium-sized supernatural creature and looked like an old man. "First, why do you inhabit the body of our master's sister?"

"Just like you who inhabit the body of this child's brother." Answer the creature.

"No. Your goal is not protection, but destruction!" seruni Balas. "I asked once again, why do you inhabit the body of our master's sister?"

"What do we answer?" the magical creature asked back.

"Because-"

Seruni raised her hand in front of Jonathan's friend's face to shut up. "Give this to me, the angel has nothing to do with this."

Jonathan's friend shrugged his shoulders and walked back two steps. He did not want to disturb the discussion of supernatural beings.

"You must be one of Mahmud's friends, right? It is the covenant that makes you inhabit the body of our master's sister."

"Hahahaha you know what a child is. Not just because you have a higher status than us, so you can treat us as you please." Laughter of that creature.

"So you don't intend to give us any information?" ask Seruni.

"No." The creature replied firmly, greeted by the laughter of the other creatures.

"All right! hey, you!" Seruni looked back. "Clean them!"

"What?! You said you wanted to face them."

"Yes, for discussion. I don't want to dirty my hands to touch a lowly creature." Seruni raised her chin haughtily.

Jonathan's friend clicked in annoyance. "That means I'm also gonna kick you out of Andrea's sister's body."

"So much better."

"You're the angel of the lifethrower? Why do angels work with jinn?" ask the supernatural creature in the form of a woman."

"It's none of your business." Sneer on Jonathan's friend who raised his right hand. His palm was pointed at the creatures. "At least I can get information rudely."

"Tu-wait! If you take us out of this body or drive us out of it, this kid will get sick." Parable of female supernatural beings.

"It's none of our business." Sahut Seruni's. He knew it was just the creature's wits.

"Good, fine. We'll tell you, but don't hurt us." Said one of the supernatural creatures in the form of a snake animal.

"Tell me!" friend Jonathan's orders.
