Magic Key

PART 6 - DREAM AND REALITY

Will there be some free time later? I take a walk, will you?

What use nulis in all papers. Not just talking directly, can you? I kept grumbling in my heart.

I mean, I returned the writing.

I can't leave yet.

Write me under his writing.

By the way, very neat writing him. Guys but the writing is so good. Though when viewed, his appearance is not climatic but has its own charm.

I smiled when I did. Fold the paper again and then put it in your pocket.

I looked up and found the figure of the girl standing not far from where I was. I took a few steps back, but when I saw the girl smiling my heart felt something strange. Not feeling scared at all.

Is that girl smiling at me? Is what Zaki said right? That girl doesn't like to see me gossip? Wh why? Does it have anything to do with the girl?

I don't know. I'll beat Zaki at the next meeting.

After I smiled at the girl, the next second she had already disappeared without a trace.

I instinctively breathe. Somehow kind of astral beings, I still don't want to be friends with them. They often startle me, much more scare me.

*****

I was standing near the gate next to the security guard post when Zaki came to me.

"Wait who?" Ask Zaki without further ado.

"Wait on friends."

"Oh. I thought I'd wait for me." Zaki said with a small smile.

"We're not that close, sir." My reply.

"Please don't call me that."

"Why? Didn't they all call you Zaki sir?"

"Of course you're different from them."

"What difference? I just got into work two days. I'll be stamped on people who don't know the rules if I act presumptuous and disrespectful." The answer I think makes sense.

"Although most of their ages are older than me, but in this company they remain my subordinates. It's only natural that they call me sir. But you and I are in line." Zaki said with a clear eye.

"What the hell does that mean? I don't understand." I rolled my eyeballs and then turned my face away from her.

"Later you'll know for yourself."

I choose not to answer. I reached into my pocket and took out the fold of paper I had written earlier as well, and gave it to Zaki. Without hesitation Zaki opened it in front of me.

Zaki mangosteen while reading.

"The boarding house we occupied is still not well. When we arrived the hostel was still in the works. Finishing, but not yet. The plans for the weekend will be finalized. So I can't leave yet. I have to move my things first, right, while the room is being worked on." Obviously to him. So that Zaki does not misunderstand.

It shouldn't be my business whether Zaki misunderstands or not, after all we're not that close. But my feelings say that I have to explain.

Zaki nodded with a smile. I love her smile so warm. Her clear eyes made me not want to take my eyes off her for a second. Her full lips can always make me feel calm through the words she says. Who exactly is he?

"Yes. I'll try another weekend, just so you have time." Said.

I don't know why my heart rippled at his words. Why would he say he'll try next time? Does that mean he's after me?

Stop Ayri's. Be aware! Remember who you are! Don't get big heads!

But how much I tried to deny, in fact my smile rose as my cheeks blushed. Ah, crap! Zaki must be laughing at me right now.

"Be careful when you get home. I still have business, I have to go now."

Again. He was happy to leave me after speaking. Doesn't he care what I want to say? I haven't even had a chance to ask about the girl.

I took a long breath.

Sasi patted my shoulder. I'm not surprised because I already knew he was coming.

"Who was that?" Ask Fara.

"Friends"

"Oh. Kirain gebetan." Add Sasi with giggles.

"Udah ah let's hunt. I don't feel like taking this shower" I said, cutting off the conversation. Without waiting for long we went home.

*****

I don't talk much about my experience. Because my experience was mostly about ghosts and Zaki. I don't want to make them think anything, let alone get scared.

"You mind, Ay? My room was so narrow before. Sleep is overshadowed by my mulu." Sasi pursed her lips.

"What the hell. Who said they objected. I'm glad I got to be in your room."

"Yeah! I'll play guitar later, Ay. I promise you." Sasi took my promise to teach him to play guitar.

"Remain!"

*****

I taught Sasi the basic key, and Fara also paid attention. I want to be able to say it too.

I am not a patient for teaching. I snorted because Sasi's fingers could not cover when the fingers were long enough. It really drained my patience.

But fortunately Fara was sensitive, and ended the teaching and learning event. Soon we were lying in bed.

We had a light conversation as a sleep deliveryman, but I couldn't focus. I don't know, my focus is on things about Zaki.

I will go crazy for a long time.

I'm just sleeping. Tomorrow is still a work day.

*****

It was ten to fifteen minutes ago that Sasi and Fara were asleep. But I am still awake. I'm still afraid to sleep. I was afraid that the black giant was coming back to attack me.

But I forced him to fall asleep immediately.

How unlucky I was, even before I lost consciousness or could be said to be asleep, my legs were dragged so quickly. I opened my eyes with a wave.

I don't know if this is a dream or real. Memeng is like a dream remembering me who was already on the verge between sleeping and not. But it's real.

Look at! I was at the door, and I slept with my two friends there. Oh God. What else is really going on?

I looked around for my phone, saw a clock that turned out to be eight. It is not too late to go out just looking for fresh air.

I grabbed a hanging sweater and then put it on.

As soon as I opened the door, the night wind instantly swept across my face. Tastes fresh. Cold yet comfortable.

I sat on the porch swinging my legs slowly.

I subconsciously observed the noni tree which was one straight line with my boarding room. A tree that did not waver even though the wind was as strong as that night. For a long time, I kept staring at the tree without distracting myself. I kept looking for answers to my own questions, hoping I could find answers by just staring.

I still don't know what the tree is. What I think about now even concerns mystical things. I suddenly felt a chill for no reason. I tried to calm myself down, take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

"Can't sleep?" Asked Andi while walking over to me from the guard post.

"Yes." Yeah." My answer is not spirit.

"Is there anything that disturbs your mind?" Ask Andi looks sincere, not just pleasantries.

"Much mas. But I'm lazy to talk. I just want to catch a little wind before I go to bed."

Mas Andi nodded. "Have you slept?"

"Udah."

Mas Andi took an ignorant seat from me, but remained distant.

"Look at how scared you were of them, until you fainted that night. Can't you see their nation before?" Asked Andi who previously sighed first.

"I could never see them. And I don't want to see them at all." I answered without expression. My eyes are straight ahead. Mind empty.

Andi is the same as Zaki. I am equally there when I am scared. But it feels different. With Zaki I felt protected, and with Andi, I felt like I couldn't believe it.

"Have anyone tried to open your inner eyes before?"
