"How did you get in the woods, even fall into the abyss?" ask Bima.
Seeing Tresi's body is fine and without injuries, Bima assumed, if Tresi came to the forest by himself. Perhaps, he had accidentally fallen into the abyss. However, Tresi's answer obscured Bima's assumption earlier.
"Gue don't know" he said softly.
"Is there someone who's forcing you?" search Bima.
"Eitherway. I don't want anything" replied Tresi.
Bima looked at Tresi's face full of probes. However, not the slightest bit of Tresi seemed to be lying. He seems to have no idea what happened to him. It seems, this is indeed Ursula's deed, Bima said in her heart.
"Rest," said Bima before coming out of Tresi's room.
***
Not felt, it has been one Sunday Bima and Tresi together. Today, right the night of the full moon. Before nightfall, Bima first out of the house. Tresi who happened to be heading into the kitchen, saw Bima leave.
"Where is he going?" I don't know who it was.
The next day, Tresi did not see the existence of Bima. I don't know where that guy went. The girl did not care much about the existence of Bima. He also contacted Emi. Inviting his best friend to stay at his place at this time.
"Lo is the same Bima, actually dating is not, anyway? How come, I see you guys don't have any friends?" ask Emi that morning.
Intentionally the girl was staying at the place Tresi was staying at this time. He felt lonely after Tresi moved in with Bima.
"Eitherway. I don't know either!" answer Tresi casually.
"Lo, can't persuade Bima, let us stay three?" ask Emi while they're having dinner at their neighborhood roadside stall.
"I'll try to talk to him later. These few days, he's gone not knowing where. That's it, don't go home" Tresi replied.
"Where is he, actually?"
Tresi sniffed his shoulders no matter what. Amidst their exciting chatter, a woman comes to their table. Tresi and Emi exchanged looks. As if asking who he is.
"You're the girl who lives with Bima, right?" ask the woman.
"Lo, who is Bima?"
It was not Tresi who asked, but Emi. Tresi just listened to their chat. However, the woman just smiled. Seeing that smile, Emi started to clasped Tresi's hand. He was shocked and looked at Emi.
"It looks like he's mean to evil!" whisky Emi.
The woman smiled creepily. Upon seeing that, Tresi gulped his saliva. There was a fear that Tresi could not explain, arising in his heart.
"Leave Bima!" The woman spoke with lirih. However, full of emphasis.
"If I don't want to?" challenge Tresi.
The woman's face looks even scarier. Emi tightened her grip on Tresi's arm. Cold sweat even poured down the girl's back.
"Lo, how reckless, anyway? Why don't you let go of that Bima?" Emi speaks in a whisper.
Tresi did not touch his best friend. His eyes remained staring challengeingly at the woman in front of him. Without hesitation, the woman strangled Tresi. Emi who wanted to help her friend, crashed to a distance far enough from Tresi.
Emi felt her whole body crumble. Not to mention, the tables and chairs there were already scattered in disarray. While Tresi, cornered with a strangled neck.
"Don't try to challenge me. You think I can't kill you?"
Tresi's face was getting red. The air supply around, as if thinning. However, the woman who strangled him, had no intention of letting go of Tresi. Seen from the protruding veins on his hands.
"Le-leave," rebel Tresi.
He even hit the woman's hand with all his might. However, the woman remained standing straight. Emi attacked the woman again. Sadly, it crashed again.
"Tress!" peekkik Emi's.
"Looks good! I am Bima's fiancee! You've taken my future husband. Then you, must die in my hands," he growled.
Tresi coughed more and more with a gasp of breath. When Tresi came back almost dead, his body slipped from the woman's grip. He coughed violently while holding his neck that hurt.
"You okay?"
That voice, so it sounded familiar in Tresi's ears. He raised his gaze. Seeing Bima there, Tresi's tears fell unstoppable. The man saved his life again.
Unknowingly, Tresi hugged Bima tightly. Crying in the man's arms. Bima just kept quiet without returning Tresi's embrace. A second later, he turned his eyes to the woman who almost killed Tresi.
***
"Tresses," he murmured.
He turned and ran like the wind. Within a few seconds, he had already arrived near Tresi.
"Hul!"
Both eyes of Bima glinted furiously. With his strength, the man pushed Ursula, until the woman was thrown. Check it on Tresi's neck was released. After Ursula was thrown, Bima immediately approached her lover. Ask the girl's condition.
He did not expect, if Tresi would hug him that heavy. In fact, the girl was crying in her arms. Not knowing what to do, Bima decided to stay still and not move.
"Tres, you're fine, aren't you?" ask Emi.
Emi immediately approached Tresi, when she saw Bima there. Tresi let go of her embrace and answered Emi's question with a nod.
While Ursula, clenching her hands was strong. Before long, he darted away leaving them there.
***
This time, Bima let Tresi stay at Emi's place. He does not like to be in a room with humans. Tresi, is an exception. After making sure Tresi was asleep and safe, Bima returned to the house he lived with Tresi.
It seemed, Ursula was already aware of Tresi's existence. He still does not accept my decision. But, I can't possibly tell her, the reason I live with this human girl, Bima muttered as she stared at the ceiling of her room.
I don't know how many times the man breathed a rough sigh. Feeling dizzy thinking about his own problems.
Have not solved one problem, another problem arises. Had Tresi died before the pearl returned, would the pearl have come out on its own or had it been destroyed with him?
Bima rubbed her face rough. He doesn't know how to deal with the problem right now.
At home Emi—after the departure of Bima—Tresi re-opened his eyes. He sat himself on the bed. Before long, Emi came in.
"Lo, all right, right?" ask Emi. From his tone, he looked very worried.
"Gue is fine, really," replied Tresi.
The girl smiled soothingly at her best friend. Emi splashed into Tresi's arms. The two strengthen each other.
"Do you know the girl?" ask Emi after they feel calm.
Tresi shook his head in response. "But he said something that didn't make sense."
Emi frowned in hearing Tresi's words. "You mean?"
"He said he was Bima's future wife. The question is, if Bima has a wife, why does she want to stay with me and be my girlfriend?"
Emi and Tresi fell silent. Their minds are looking for answers. Unfortunately, they don't know the answer either.
"Perhaps, you should talk to Bima first. You guys should talk about all this. If it were true that they broke up because of you, would you have left Bima?"
Tresi. View down. Honestly, I don't know either. But, part of my heart, do not accept if you have to break up from him. Am I in love with him?
"God! Why even dumbass?"
Tresi just smiled a little at Emi. "Sleep, yuk! It's late," Tresi asked.
The girl broke her body. Emi also ventured beside Tresi.
***
The next day, Tresi met Bima. He had to confirm the words of the woman who nearly killed him. Just when Tresi arrives, Bima will come out of the house.
"You coming?"
Tresi nodded his head slowly. "Gue wants to say the same important thing!"
Bima invited Tresi to enter. They chose to sit in the living room.
"What's wrong?" ask Bima.
"Woman last night, said something that I didn't believe."
Without cause, Bima's heart started to beat fast. But as much as possible, he controlled himself. While Tresi, showing a serious facial look. Bima held her breath, waiting for the question that Tresi would ask.
"She said, you're her future husband. Is that true?"
