KIRANA (SUPERNATURAL JOURNEY)

UNSOUND

Kirana still did not go to school that day. Kirana's parents told her to rest first. The girl was very bored because every day had to stay in the room.

Ms. Ratna was busy cooking with Bi Sari in the kitchen. Pak Bahari went fishing in the river with Mang Nur. While Bagas in the middle room did his college work, while looking after his sister Kirana according to their parents' orders.

Actually Bagas was lazy to study in the middle room. He thought Kirana was already big and did not have to be monitored like a toddler. He was forced to obey the orders of his parents. He's busy with his laptop and a college assignment huh.

Kirana was tired of staying in the room for a long time, she had intended to go to the middle room but her sister would definitely nag and feel disturbed by her existence. It might even run away to her room if Kirana approaches her.

Kirana also remembered the words of Fathir who told her to busy herself. After thinking for a while he decided to read an online novel, considering that one of his hobbies is reading and there is no other hobby that he can do in the room.

He scrolls through the online novel platform he just downloaded, he looks for interesting story titles he thinks. But somehow the genre he chose was even a mystery story. He himself was experiencing mysterious things.

After choosing one of the titles he immediately read each chapter.At first it was mediocre. But after the chapter he read began to tell a scary story, he became a little tense.

Kirana who was reading while leaning over the bed started to feel a strange thing again. Cold air greeted his body, he tried to stay focused on reading the novel, but a moment later he saw the figure of the creature right next to him. He who was focused on staring at his mobile phone screen suddenly the corner of his eye caught the figure.

It was not so obvious but he was sure the figure next to him was glaring at him. He began to tense up and gradually turned his head towards the left, where the figure was. When he turned his head the figure vanished just like that but a giggling sound lit up his ears. Kirana screamed while covering her ears.

"Aaaaakkk.." his screams made Bagas who was outside startled.

Bagas immediately ran to Kirana's room. Seeing Kirana roll on the bed shouting and covering her ears with both hands, Bagas felt astonished by her sister.

"Hey what are you." asked Bagas.

But Kirana continued to shout hysterically because the voice felt closer and clearer in her ears. He did not realize that Bagas was there.

"Kirana you are nothing, you are not sane." the umpteenth time Bagas rebuked Kirana.

This time Bagas shook Kirana's arm, he was very upset by her sister's behavior. Kirana was only aware of the existence of Bagas after several times Bagas called and shook his body.

"Sister.there was someone next to me earlier, then he laughed horribly." Kirana explained as she embraced Bagas.

"Oh, there's just been your behavior." Bagas released Kirana from his body.

"Seriously, I saw him earlier." Kirana groaned in tears.

"You're not as sane as you are." Bagas' words made Kirana immediately stare at his older brother.

"So, I can talk like that. You think I'm crazy?" he said out loud.

He who was afraid became angry because of the words of Bagas.

"Hi what are you doing." said Ms. Ratna to her two children.

"He is, bikin people spot the heart. Suddenly shouted hysterically while closing his ears. Must be taken to psikiter nih mother's child this one." said Bagas annoyed.

"Stop!!!I'm not crazy, brother, don't carelessly talk." Kirana pushed Bagas' arm.

"Enough.enough..!!Bagas you out." Said Bu Ratna while glaring at Bagas.

Bagas immediately exited the room with an annoyed face. Kirana immediately hugged her mother and told her what she had just experienced.

It was indeed very hard to believe, it was even very unreasonable for Ms. Ratna. But inevitably Ms. Ratna must try to believe in her daughter, even though such a thing is very difficult to digest let alone accepted logic.

Ms. Ratna knew very well that her daughter was very depressed and needed someone who could trust her.

***

In the evening the Pak Bahari family had dinner together, Mang Nur and Bi Sari joined them.

Pak Bahari already considers them both as part of the family.

This afternoon Pak Bahari and Mang Nur got quite a lot of fish from fishing in the river. The fish became their dinner.

"If I used to fish, I would immediately burn fish on the river bank.Yes Mang." said Mr. Bahari in the middle of dinner.

"Yes Den." replied Mang Nur.

"If it is burned there we do not get part" joked Bu Ratna who was immediately accompanied by laughter other than Kirana

Kirana was just silent, she was busy with her own daydream. His eyes continued to look at the plate containing rice and side dishes, at all he had not eaten.He instead played a spoon on top of his food.

Bagas who saw Kirana immediately elbowed Bu Ratna who was next to her. Then Bagas pointed at Kirana with his chin. Ms. Ratna immediately turned to Kirana.

"Ehm..Kirana, how come you haven't eaten yet? Let's eat son" Bu Ratna's voice ripped open Kirana's empty daydream.

Everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on him, Kirana who realized it immediately put rice into her mouth even though it was completely devoid of appetite.

He just wanted to look normal in front of his family. He tried to act as if nothing had ever happened to him. Yeah maybe that's the only way to make himself look okay. He did not want people to think he was not sane as Bagas said.
