At one in the morning, Queen woke up from her sleep. The brownish-haired girl suddenly felt cold at the nape as if someone was blowing on her. Between conscious and not, he also felt that someone was watching him.
Queen fumbled on the nightstand next to the bed intending to turn on the lights, but her hand stopped when she touched something very cold.
Whatisthis?
Bathin's curious
Likey?
Queen did not dare to continue her alibi and preferred to look directly at what was actually caught by her sense of touch.
And his eyes were perfectly rounded as soon as his clear pupils managed to detect what had just been in his rabbi.
A creepy creature with flared red eyeballs and a face that was even paler than cotton was sitting casually on the nightstand while watching it deeply.
The girl immediately shuffled back. The sudden heartbeat fastened signifies that fear began to nest.
"W-who are you? " his question stammered while trying to recognize the creepy creature in front of him. A being whose cold hands had just been palpated by him.
The handsome but creepy creature did not reply but instead continued to pay attention to Queen with a sharp grin that seemed ready to tear the Queen's body apart, as if asking the girl to answer her own question.
Queen herself is getting drowned in fear. His body even trembled in fear. Especially when the creature rose up to him and stretched out his hand like a vampire ready to strangle prey.
Queen wanted to run as fast as possible and away from the red-eyed creature, but her legs seemed to be immovable, making her only able to stay in place and let the creature get closer.
"You, "When the distance between them erodes, then the Queen can clearly see the creature. The creature that turned out to be the Father of Dusk. Although he had only seen it once but Queen still memorized the face because he had just seen it last afternoon.
"Don't interfere with Dirga and my daughter's relationship .. If you don't want to be hurt !" A threatening baritone voice echoed in Queen's room making the girl's face paled even more.
"Dirga no longer likes you, just accept that fact and never again disturb Dusk or Dirga or you will no longer be able to sleep soundly like that ! "
After saying that Bayu brought his hand closer to Queen's neck. The long black nails were ready to puncture the girl's neck
Queen's body was frozen, silent in place without being able to do anything, even speaking was already powerless. The extreme fear seemed to lock all of his senses.
While Bayu does not seem satisfied enough to scare the Queen. After her cold hands managed to stick to the girl's neck, Bayu then approached her sinister face right in front of Queen's face.
The two pairs of eyes were roaring and Queen could see very clearly like a Bayu eyeball that was really burning like embers.
"Aarrrghhh...! " Bayu shouted loudly in front of the Queen. The sound of terrible ny just like the roar of a wild beast that was wrathful made Queenzi shiver in the sunken fear then finally drooped unconscious.
A thin grin emerged from Bayu's face seeing Queenzi lose consciousness. The creature then shot away as fast as lightning.
***
In his room Wulan was suddenly awake because something cold was stuck on his forehead.
When the woman opened her eyes, she found her beloved husband kissing her.
Wulan smiled then gently rubbed Bayu's cheeks.
"Hey, what woke me up? " he asked with a hoarse voice typical of people waking up.
"It seems like it's time, honey. I can't stand it anymore. " Bayu grimaced with a face of pain. Her expression was very different from when she had scared the Queen earlier. Apparently before leaving, the creature was trying to collect the remnants of its power to warn the Queen.
Bayu's speech that is more like a groan makes Wulan immediately move.
"You're leaving now?" anxiety begins to feel. Although she was used to being left behind but still there was pain every time she had to take her husband away.
"Hmm, I'm getting weaker. "
"Then I will take you to the sea. "
"No need," Bayu prevented Wulan from moving on.
"You rest at home, as usual. "
"No, this time I want to take you. " Wulan insisted. Somehow this time she wanted to see her husband slowly disappear in the ocean. Though usually he just let go of his room and let Bayu disappear without anyone seeing.
"I don't know why either, but obviously this time I want to take you .. So please let me come along. "
"Alright," nodded Bayu at last
"But don't go alone, take Dusk. "
"Hm, "without answering Wulan immediately moved towards the room that was not yet asleep, so could immediately hear when his mother called.
"What's up, Mom? " of course the girl was curious because her mother woke her this early in the morning.
"Friend of the sea mother, son. I want to take your father. "
"Mom's taking Daddy?" ask Dusk wonder
"Yes, "
Actually Dusk would like to say "tumben? " but the sentence was spoken for the sake of seeing his mother's sad face.
Maybe sometimes I want to see Dad go.
Inner Dusk before finally agreeing to his mother's request.
The girl then closed her night conversation with Dirga and said that she would take her father to sea.
Yes before his mother entered earlier, Dusk was indeed replying to a message with Dirga, so fun both of them to not realize that it was early morning.
***
The atmosphere of the sea is very quiet because it is a very unusual time for someone to be on the beach. But it is precisely these moments like this that is most appropriate for Bayu to return to his palace because it is sure no one will see him drown in the ocean.
The three walked slowly towards the beach, Wulan faithfully holding Bayu's hand as if reluctant to let go.
"Why you, baby? " ask Bayu because he feels something is wrong with his wife. Usually, she is always sad every time she has to let her husband go, but not to this extent.
"Yes, Mom. Don't you usually want to take Dad to the sea? " Dusk who had been curious had finally come to ask as well.
"Of course, Mother also does not know, it feels very heavy this time to take off your Father .. if you can even want to come along. "
"Mom don't talk like that, if Mom comes along then what will I do? I could if there was no mother. " Dusk Protest directly because he thinks the words of the Mother are too far-fetched.
"Yes, Wulan. Where you might come, "Bayu chimed in while rubbing Wulan's hand that was embracing her arm.
"I'll definitely be back, too. "
"Yes, I know, it's just a wish. I just don't want to be away from you. "
Bayu's hand immediately moved rubbing the top of Wulan's head. His words just now felt quite stifling to him. He knows how his wife feels. If only he could not even want to leave her an item for a second.
"Here you go, don't get too carried away, after all this is just a casual farewell right? "
Wulan could finally only nod. He himself also actually did not want to look too sad because it would certainly delay Bayu to leave, while Wulan knew very well how her handsome husband was already very tormented by pain. Finally the gentle-faced woman was only able to heal her sorrow in silence, while continuing to walk.
The vast expanse of the ocean was already in front of them at this moment. Bayu broke away from Wulan's hand and then clasped the hand tightly.
"Wulan, I-I-"
Bayu's voice was decapitated due to a bright beam of light that suddenly came from behind them.
"Who is it, lest anyone come? " Wulan began to panic for fear that someone would witness Bayu's departure other than them.
"Of course, ma'am, it is not clear his face, " replied Dusk, looking back, but because the darkness of the night made his net could not catch anything but a bright light.
As the luminescent light gets closer, they can recognize who the bearer of the bright light is.
"Dirga?"
Dusk mentioned the name with surprise as well as wonder. Because Dirga did not say he would come to the sea, but why is it suddenly here?
"Turn off your flashlight, lest anyone see us here. "dusk command because it sees the light from Dirga's phone that is still on.
"Hm, "Dirga obeyed the command of Dusk and immediately saved his phone.
"Why are you here? "
" I want to see your father go. "
"Huh? " dirga's answer successfully raised both eyebrows twilight.for what watched his father Dusk go, did the man think that Bayu Samudra would go on vacation?
"So when you said you wanted to take your father away suddenly I also wanted to see how your father went and also wanted to take him along.. Is that okay? it's okay Auntie, Uncle if I'm watching too? " Dirga looked at Wulan and Bayu in turn
"It's okay, " replied Bayu while still holding his chest that was getting burned.
"We already consider you a part of us, so it doesn't matter if you want to know, as long as you can keep your mouth open. "
"Thank you, Uncle. Uncle take it easy, I will always keep a secret. "
"Yes already then, I---"
Bayu fell down before he could continue his sentence. The terrible pain was already completely powerless in its durability.
"Wood, "squeak Wulan. Both he, Dirja or Dirga were surprised by the movement of Bayu who suddenly fell, especially Dirga who had never witnessed, but, the sturdy man even grimaced to the point of seeing Bayu who looked very sick.
Wulan immediately took the initiative to embrace Bayu. He buried Bayu's head in his chest.
"It hurts so much, Wulan. I can't stand it." Bayu groaned in pain
"Go, Bayu. Go awayl. I won't weigh in on your steps. I'll be fine here waiting for you. " While her voice was trembling, Wulan tried as much as possible not to cry. I don't know why this time she was so sad to let her husband go, as if they would never see each other again.
"Hmm, "You should be fine. You all should be fine."
Aided by his wife's son and Dirga, Bayu then rose to begin walking through the ocean. The creature limped between the puddles of water that began to soak its body.
When his body was submerged to the extent of the stomach, Bayu turned to the people who drove his departure. Although in the darkness of the night which was only illuminated by the crescent moon, but the three living beings who were still at the edge of the sea could still see Bayu waving his hands, he said, his fiery red eyes were also still clearly visible.
And at that time Wulan could only shed her tears, the cry that she had been crying since then finally broke also saw her husband slowly disappear in the ocean.
Beside him, the beautiful princess tried to strengthen. He rubbed his mother's back to channel the power so that the mother is not too late in his suffering.
While in addition to Dusk, Dirgantara Noza Sanjaya was not spared from the sadness felt by Wulan and Dusk.
He witnessed firsthand how tormented Bayu was ahead of his moment of departure, and also saw with his own neutrality the creature vanished in the depths of the ocean. One strange incident beyond reason has just been witnessed. Strange things that he had seen for the first time.
Wulan and Dusk's sadness was also quite felt for him, making his eyes go teary. It is tormented that one day when Dusk must go, and that is as sad as when he must be left later.
Imagining such pitiful things suddenly frightened Dirga. He then reached out to the hand of Dusk and grasped it as tightly as he could.
