KIRANA (SUPERNATURAL JOURNEY)

MIRRORS

After school Novi and Fathir visit Kirana. They got word from Ms. Ratna that Kirana fell unconscious again this morning.

Ms. Ratna asked them to accompany Kirana, according to her Kirana needs friends so as not to be lonely.

Novi and Fathir enter Kirana's room after being sent by Ms. Ratna.

" Look who's coming. " Said Mrs Ratna.

Kirana turned her head towards the door of the room, she smiled faintly with a still moody look she forced to paint a smile on her face.

" Sun Kirana, we came because we miss you" said Novi as he approached.

Kirana again just smiled without making a sound.

Novi was sitting on the bed next to Kirana, while Fathir was sitting on a chair by the bed. Ms. Ratna herself took a drink to the back.

Meanwhile Bi Sari who was about to wash clothes, found a piece of paper in Kirana's uniform pocket.

A piece of paper that was given by Novi at the time. Bi Sari did not dare to open the fold of the paper, let alone read it.

He immediately put the paper into his negligee pocket. Then wash your clothes with the washing machine.

He would give the paper to Kirana later if the job was done.

Ms. Ratna took three glasses of avocado juice that she had blended before. Then he immediately served juice and some snacks to Kirana's friends.

" Thank you Auntie, so ngerepotin." said Novi.

" It's okay. Is this Novi Kirana's classmate? " Tanya Bu Ratna who first met Novi.

Previously he had only heard about Novi from Fathir. Novi smiled kindly while looking down slowly.

" Yes Aunt, I'm Kirana's classmate. " Answer Novi.

" Aunty lives first well back, there's still work. Come on while the food and drink, must be tired of just coming home from school." Said Mrs Ratna.

" Yes Aunty.." Novi and Fathir.

Ms. Ratna also came out of the room . Novi stared at the entire room Kirana. Ever since he stepped into the house, he felt something was wrong there.

Not because the building was old, but the aura he felt was very different from usual. The negative energy was very strong especially when passing through the middle room towards Kirana's room.

Although until this moment, he had not seen a creature but he could feel their existence.

He tried to strengthen himself and stay focused so as not to let his guard down, because a little he was careless and his mind was empty so it did not rule out the possibility of possession. Moreover, the energy there was very strong.

" You want to drink the juice, let me help you" Novi told Kirana.

" No thanks. You and Fathir drinking gih must be thirsty just coming home from school. It's eating too." Kirana started to make a sound.

Then Novi and Fathir also enjoy snacks and juices made by Bu Ratna. Novi invited Kirana to talk about her excitement and other friends at school earlier.

He wanted to comfort Kirana so as not to be moody and daydream again, as well as he comforted himself so that his mind was not empty and careless.

Every now and then Kirana smiles hearing Novi's story about the silliness of her classmates at school. Fathir is happy to see Novi can melt Kirana's mood. Especially when Kirana started to show a smile on her red lips.

Apparently Bi Sari brought a piece of paper given by Novi, then he handed it to Kirana. After that, Bi Sari returned to the kitchen.

Fathir frowned as he looked at the piece of paper in Kirana's hand.

" Paper from me? " Tanya Novi who memorized the color of the paper.

" Hm. " Answer Kirana briefly.

" Can I read it? " ask Fathir curiously.

Novi nodded towards Kirana as Kirana looked at her for approval.

Kirana handed the paper to Fathir. Fathir believes there is something on the paper, it is impossible for Novi to write anything unimportant to Kirana.

Fathir's eyes were rounded as he read Novi. While Novi was getting uncomfortable, he began to hear the sounds of screams, moans and cries of pain.

Novi closed his eyes. He felt a lot of creatures around him. The creature kept paying attention especially to him.

Soon he opened his eyes because he did not want to feel any further things that made him uncomfortable. But his inner eyes caught the figure of a woman in the mirror right facing the bed.

He closed his mouth with both hands. He shouldn't be surprised to see any more subtle creatures but why was he so shocked this time.

Fathir was astonished to see Novi's behavior from earlier. He's sure Novi saw something here. Fathir patted Novi's shoulder. The girl looked towards him.

" Full-pee.." Novi whispered.

" What do you mean? " asked Fathir did not understand.

While Kirana watched the two of them who looked whispered.

" I have to go home soon." Said Novi who immediately took his bag.

" Come home.I'm still missing. " Said Kirana astonished.

" I'll stop by again. Now I have a family event. " Novie lied.

" If so we say. Okay, well, tomorrow we come again, tomorrow we will heal into the city. " Said Fathir who will indeed take Kirana to a psychiatrist.

Kirana started to show her teeth, she laughed softly. Fathir was getting excited to see Kirana like that. Now not only a smile but a small laugh has begun to decorate her beautiful face.

Novi is still at war with his soul. His body already felt heavy yet his soul tried to be strong. Resisting the disturbance of a creature that so much attacked every cell in his body.

They also say back home, on the front porch of Bu Ratna sitting relaxed looking surprised to see the look of Novi's face when going to say goodbye to her.

Fathir and Novi salute Ms. Ratna, then leave the house immediately.

On the way home, Novi began to tell Fathir about what he felt earlier. Novi said that in Kirana's house the negative aura is very strong, the subtle creatures are many and varied.

Some of them were mostly screaming in pain, like they were receiving torture. In the residence Kirana was very clearly visible to her inner eyes if the nature was fused right with the house Kirana.

Unite but separate, separate but united. There is but invisible, invisible but there is and can be felt. That's how Novi felt.

Novi also recounted what she saw in the vanity mirror. The mirror should reflect Kirana's face lying down but what she saw Kirana was somewhere else in nature that had never been touched by humans. And in that mirror...Novi sees Kirana in the arms of a red woman.
