Lara's Admirers

Episode 91's

BREATHE

I finally regained my senses after my head accidentally hit the rock in the river so hard. I don't know how, but I really got out of Piri and it happened miraculously. I opened my eyelids and found myself in bed. I stared at the ceiling of the room and all the objects around me, to make sure I was okay.

I woke up not okay. My breath was breathless, my chest also felt so claustrophobic. Even my heart beats with an irregular rhythm. My whole body shook very violently. The sweat suddenly made me drenched, like I just came out of the river after being washed away. I'm really nervous and can't control myself anymore.

It seems like I've had such a terrifying nightmare. But unfortunately I can't remember a piece of the story. I don't know what's going on, so I can be so scared like this. I grabbed my phone that was on the table, right next to my bed. With my hands still shaking, I tried to find contact with someone who might be able to help me at a time like this.  Without a doubt, I immediately called her late at night like this. No matter if he is sleeping or not, I obviously need his help right now.

“Ha-lo.” I said in a vibrating voice, shortly after he picked up his phone.

“What's up? Why call me this late?” ask someone from across there.

“Wait a minute, why do you sound so scared?” continued.

“I need to talk to you.” I replied plainly.

“At this hour?” ask again.

“This is very important. I woke up from my sleep because of this.” I explained.

“This really makes me uncomfortable.”.

“What really happened? Are you okay?” said the man.

“Hmm... for now I'm still fine.” reply.

“Alright, I'll be there now.” he said.

“Alright, fast!” my orders.

I hung up the phone so scared. While we are anxious, hopefully that help will come soon. Without me noticing at all, I had shed tears for no apparent reason. I immediately wiped it. I didn't want Amel to realize this, even though he seemed to be fast asleep at the moment.

I called Ahn Yoo Ra, my college friend. He is a descendant between Korea and Indonesia. His father is from Bandung and now lives in Korea. While his own mother was a native Korean, he was from the Busan daeraH. Her mother was a Korean shaman, as I heard from her when I first met her at college. Whether it happened by chance or not, I don't know for sure. All I know is, he can predict every event and predict something. Most of his words are always accurate.

Yoo Ra lives in this dormitory, which is still one building with me. He's on the fifth floor, and I'm on the fourth. So I don't think it's gonna take much time on the way to this place. After all, the house guards had finished patrolling since three hours ago. This place is completely deserted now. It was now two in the morning, and I was still awake because something bad had happened to me.

‘DRRTTT!!!’

Suddenly, my phone shook slowly. I checked it immediately, who knew it was a call from Ahn Yoo Raa.

“Quick open the door... I have arrived in front.” whispered in a low tone.

“Alright.” reply me short.

I ran slowly towards the door and tried not to make any noise. I still haven't turned off the phone, just in case something unexpected happens. I opened the door very carefully. Since it was nighttime and the atmosphere was quite quiet, even a sound as small as this could be heard.

Ahn Yoo Ra charged straight in, right after I opened the door for her. After making sure everything was safe, I immediately shut the door tightly, before anyone realized this.

“Why are you calling me this late?” tanyakanya.

“Stttt!!!” I said while trying to shut his mouth.

“Do not be noisy, Amel will wake up. Brabe is his business!” whispered slowly.

I led him to my bed and chose to talk about this there only.

“Lo why haven't you slept at this time?” manya curious.

“Gue itself also does not know why I did not sleep at all from earlier. Not usually know kayak gini.” answers clearly.

“Maybe because lo will call me midnight gini.” he continued.

“It's morning!” my firmness.

“Udah directly to the core of the problem aja.” said Yoo Ra

“Oke-okay, so gini...” reply.

I don't even know where to start. I have to explain all this to him, but I don't know how. Obviously, I'm going to try it now.

“Can you see something from my eyes?” my many.

“Gue don't know where to start. I don't even know initially which one and finally which one.” obviously me.

“Lo himself said, if the mouth can be a lie. But the eyes will never be able to lie.” continued.

“Gue understands exactly the same condition lo now.” reply to it briefly solid and clear.

“Cowok it back.” he said plainly.

“Cowok? Which one?” ask me with a million questions that are actually still in there.

“Honestly, I'm actually the same story. Sorry, your story means.” Ahn Yoo Ra said at the beginning of the story.

“Lo know one thing? You shouldn't have written this many stories in her book. Even when he had to leave, he still read the story you made. He read it over and over again until his book was used and one of its pages was missing. Until the writing fades and the paper is torn. But still, the story cannot be lost. Because it is too often read, all the sentences are stored in his memory.” he explained at length.

Meanwhile, on the other hand I was still trying hard to understand all the sentences that came out of his mouth back then. I couldn't understand a single thing from what he said just now. I can't draw any conclusions from all of that. It sounds very simple, but in reality it is very difficult to understand. So actually, what's going on right now.

“So you can explain to me no, directly who exactly is that person?” ask me carefully.

“Freely sha, because lo also will not remember.” answer clearly.

“But I want to know!” I'm tough once again.

Ahn Yoo Ra was seen sighing violently. I think he's starting to lose the patience to face a stubborn girl like me. But I'm not just gonna stop. Not many things can make me give up, even if I want to give up. My ambition is bigger than anything.

“Gue will clear for the last time.” lo he said.

“Remember, this is the last one. So after this do not ask anything, or ask anything from me.” he explained once again.

I nodded weakly, saying his words just now.

“The only thing I saw from your eyes, just that incident.” he said at the beginning of the story.

“Gue knows that you have lost your memory temporarily because of the accident, even you have a trauma that you yourself do not know.” he explained.

“So the point is, now the long-term effects of the accident managed to take some of your memory and it will not come back again. But the main character of the lost memory keeps coming and can't go quietly before you do this one thing. He just wants you to come to his world, but your world is different. Even though you were from the same nature. So never come to that place again.” he explained at length.

“The place you call Piri has turned into mala petaka.” he continued.

“Piri?” my mind in my heart.

“Lo should not find peace there, because the thing you call peace is no longer there. That place has turned into hell for anyone who dares to go there. So do not let you get stuck and can not get out of there.” he explained once again.

“This is the last time you go there, never try to go there again. Or your life will be at stake.” he said with what it is.

I was at a loss for words afterwards, I didn't even know how to react. The sentence just spoken by Ahn Yoo Ra managed to silence my mouth.

“But I don't even know how to get out or get in there. It all happened suddenly and I never understood about it.”.

“That's the problem! Something that is in there keeps trying to make a self-design lo.” reply.

“We should be able to stop him before something bad happens similarly lo.” Further.

“How to?” ask me innocently.

“We must destroy Piri and all the things that are in it.” he explained so confidently.

“Lifting now back to sleep, it's early in the morning. You have to have enough energy for today. Later in the afternoon I will tell you how to.” he said.

Again I can only nod saying what he said just now. For now it seems like there's not much I can do. Maybe this is the best way to secure myself. I don't want anything to happen to me. So I'd better just follow this girl's words. I believe that he can save me from this mess or at least protect me for a while.

“Can I bring that lo necklace?” ask the girl carefully.

I looked at him with a confused look mixed in worry. Ever since I got it, I never let go of this thing. I don't even know where this came from. I don't know, all those memories just disappeared from my mind. They seemed to leave without a trace.

Without any more pikri, I immediately removed the thing from my neck and gave it to Ahn Yoo Ra. Maybe this is one way out. Besides, it's impossible if this girl has any evil intentions for me. It's not an expensive necklace, just a costume jewelry maybe.

“This is the last time you squirm this necklace. This thing is a curse, so we must destroy this so that lo and Piri have no relationship anymore.” he explained.

I just nodded with his words just now. I would do anything to save my own life. Anyway, I don't remember the slightest bit how I got that thing. If it's really a curse, then I must immediately escape the curse.

“Back to sleep, don't get too tired.” he said while on the doorstep.

I don't know how to repay all his kindness to me all this time. That girl has helped me too much and I have troubled her too often. After he left, I went back to bed and tried to fall asleep again. He said I'd be safe during my sleep without this necklace. After he came and explained everything to me, I felt much calmer at this moment. Although at first all the sentences made me scared and confused at the same time.

***

Ahn Yoo Ra said, I was much calmer when I fell asleep without the necklace. Today I woke up at nine in the morning. Actually today I'm still on holiday and probably just re-entered next week. But still I have to be ready soon, because I have to hurry away. I almost forgot that today I had an appointment with Arka to accompany her to the historical site. He said he needed some references to buildings and architectural models of Korean buildings in the ancient kingdom.

Yesterday's horrible incident got me completely screwed up to this day. Not even a single bit of positive aura came my way today. My mood is really bad. And what's worse is, I can't control my own mind at all. It seems like all of this really took me one step towards madness.

I lost all my sanity because of yesterday. Actually, I don't really believe in the magical things that many others talk about. I believe that other dimensions exist, but I don't want to know more about them. But since that bus accident I've been in, everything has changed. It completely changed my life by one hundred and eighty degrees. Since then, there have been a lot of strange things that I have experienced. But I never took a headache over all that. Now they're forcing me to think hard about their even invisible lives. Something unseen from the past, keeps coming and harassing my new life right now.

I don't know which time it's coming from that aisle. All I know is, if it's from the past. If I had given up all my ties to him, would he not be able to do the same? Stop bothering me because I never bothered her at all. It would be hard to come together like before if our lives had been different. There are too many differences at this time that do not allow to go back to how it used to be. The figure was trying to go against the flow of time in order to meet someone from the future. And the person he was looking for was me.
