LIFEBOOK

Episode 4

Heavy rain was heard outside, the sound of lightning was heard very loudly following. The air temperature begins to drop, becoming very humid and wet. The room warms the room we live in.

The atmosphere in this room did not change, I was too carried away by the emotion of accidentally hitting the table in front of me. Away, only the sound of rain getting heavier, followed by the sound of lightning that was able to shake the ground.

I looked towards Lucia, she looked at me for a moment, then got up from her chair. Without saying anything, he walked towards the stairs that led to the top floor.

However, it seemed that Lucia did not shingle with her heart, as if she understood what I was feeling. He just smiled at me. Then go towards the large staircase that is breezy next to this room.

Lucia's back, she's back from my room? But what was surprising was that he brought what I was looking for. That's my backpack! Thank goodness it didn't go away.

"Is this the backpack you're talking about, son?" Lucia handed the bag to me.

"That's my backpack! Thank goodness she's not missing." I got up from my seat and took it.

I immediately opened the backpack, checking that my belongings were still complete. Everything was as it was, including that strange book.

I wanted to ask Lucia about this book, but who would believe my story. Someone else will just laugh at me.

"You seem to have an interesting book, son" Lucia said as she dropped herself on the sofa.

Surprisingly, Lucia knew the book. How could he know if he knew anything about the strange book.

"How did Nek-Lucia know about the book?" I asked probing.

"Of course I know, when you were helpless, I found the backpack far away from you, Lutfi." Lucia explained how she found the backpack.

"Oh, yeah. Does Nek-Lucia know anything about this strange book that looks so ancient?" With high curiosity, I tried to ask Lucia, making sure.

Before replying, Lucia confirmed her sitting position. Sipping a warm drink in front of him. The drink was like a very concentrated black coffee, the aroma was soothing, smelling throughout the room.

After finishing the drink, Lucia began to explain the very important information.

"I've seen similar books like this, but that was a long time ago, a few decades ago. I didn't know anything about it, all I knew was that the colors and the writing on the book were different. At that time, if not mistaken BOOK OF DESTINY, I had time to read it. Then the book vanished, before I knew it." As she explains, Lucia investigates the strange book. Flipping through his book, occasionally opening page by page.

That was the information I needed, I listened carefully to Lucia's explanation.

Is there another similar existence? Dispersed all over the world. When I think about it my back is goosebumps, my nape is like freezing

"Nil, I can't even read it. Decades ago, I learned about ancient writing. But the writing was too old-fashioned, very difficult to read. It took a long time to learn it" Lucia seemed resigned, putting the book on the table.

It seems, Lucia is an archaeologist professor. It's worth it, since I found writings that I do not recognize. On the walls of the whole room.

"Why, I can understand the book. Before I could read even one sentence, I had not finished reading it. Suddenly the book floated, the carvings on the book shone very beautiful green. But there was a very strong earthquake. I can only confirm that the book is THE BOOK OF LIFE." I told Lucia about the strange events I had with the book.

"What?! You can read it, really?" The sound of a table shake, Lucia was surprised to find out if I could read it.

Of course Lucia was surprised, she had spent decades studying the epigraphy alone not knowing the writing. Suddenly, I who did not even know any other language spoken abroad, understood writing that was too ancient.

Let alone Lucia, I myself was very surprised to learn the fact that the writing of the book was ancient.

"Yeah, really." I convinced Lucia.

For a moment, I saw the book. Laying on a large round black table. I, curious, took the book. Actually I'm not sure, however, there was a huge curiosity. It was as if the book was emitting something.

I tried to convince myself to open the strange book that was in my grasp. Still, I'm afraid something bad happened.

Rise up from my seat, I picked up the strange book. Since then, Lucia has been watching everything that has happened, not letting a single thing go.

I took a breath, closed my eyes. Then open the first page of the book. The sheet of paper is very soft, like it is made of silk. I started reading it, continuing what I had read before.

Suddenly the carvings of the book emitted a dazzling green light, so that the entire room darkened and only the book became the source of light. The light spread quickly and felt very warm when it hit my face.

Lucia who was paying attention, looked at me behind without blinking as the book emitted a dazzling light. The book no longer floated, but flew beautifully, so I was able to read it easily

You who read this book,

know that we have done what our ancestors did.

And you will do what we have done.

Save your successors from that damned evil book.

Wherever the book hid there must be a BOOK OF LIFE that haunted him.

You will be guided by this book. The Future, the Past, the Present, not even the Other World will be separated.

While I was still reading it, the book suddenly closed and was thrown upwards, emitting an increasingly bright green light. Lucia who was watching, got up from her seat and got ready in case something happened. The silence created was only interrupted by the whirring sound of rain breaking the silence. However, it did not change the situation in the increasingly tense room.

We're on standby, I'm retreating in alignment with Lucia. The look at the book grew brighter, speechless.

I gestured to Lucia, Lucia who saw me nodded. As if I understood what I meant.

We started to step closer, Lucia gulped. Walking the lead in front, I followed him in the back.

I was sweating, before the big earthquake. I can't guess what's going to happen next. I could only gulp, regretting having read that strange, mysterious book.
