Necophilia

Chapter 49: No one will come near

"already over.. " (Nein)

"what's over, Nein? "

"the terror of the subtle-creature to us is over. Don't call me for a day." Pinta Nein.

"well okay. I'll take care of Rachel. "

Nein's spirit disappeared from Arqan's shoulder. The little cat was so tired, he slept to recover his energy.

Back to Arqan and Rachel. The plan after visiting this traditional house they will return to the hamlet. Arqan plans to make items that can be patented or sold. So that in 2 years she is quite established to propose her lover.

Rachel thought so too. He plans to stop working for Arqan and find another job. The goal is that the finances of her future husband are not continuously drained.

Nein felt cool as she monitored the two of them from a distance. The way they interact with each other, the happy laughs, and other sweet things like bedtime stories the longer he sees them.

Each visit is limited to 5 people. The atmosphere inside was so cool that Rachel felt like she was on top of a mountain while exploring the house deeper.

Broadly speaking it is just an ordinary custom home, which sells magical charm. But because the subtle-creatures were accidentally destroyed by Nein the house so it is not creepy anymore.

Because of the less horror atmosphere that the visitors become bored and end the exploration.

"they why? " ask Rachel.

"it seems like people are disappointed by the atmosphere of this house which is not as scary as it used to be. Isn't it Nein? " Arqan shut his mouth as he spoke Nein's name.

"Nein?? "

"sorry, I was slurping. "

Suddenly there were the sound of footsteps and the cry of a child upstairs.

"you hear that? Looks like a little kid got lost. "

Arqan was not convinced by Rachel's opinion. Obviously the housekeeper said only 5 people per visit.

Rachel fearlessly climbed upstairs, Arqan tried to think positively like Rachel.

While on the stairs Rachel saw a small child lying in a circle in the middle of the stairs.

"Rachel, no! Just let me. "

Arqan pulls Rachel behind him fearing the boy is not human. Sure enough, when the boy turned around there was a broken and unkissed face.

Rachel screamed loudly, she was shocked then fainted. In Rachel's view the creature was gone but in Arqan's eyes she was still in its place.

Without fear Arqan also spoke with the figure. "you son of genie right. What are you doing here alone? "

"...my father burned... " Answer the genie's son.

"burned by what? "

"by the white fire... "

Arqan did not know what the genie boy was talking about. Arqan told him to stay in the house because it was safe for him.

The genie boy shook his head.

"my father is burning in this place... "

"let me come with you... "

"sorry I can't. Don't follow me. " Arqan refuses and holds Rachel out of the house.

"astagfirullah, what happened to you? " ask the housekeeper a little panicked.

"my friend saw the sighting and then fainted. I'll take him home. "

Because Rachel fainted delayed home first. At home his parents Arqan talked to his mother about how to keep the heart of the couple.

Arqan's adoptive mother told him. "you must have never heard this story, your mother and father were betrothed by our parents. We were given 1 year to familiarize ourselves" he said, raising his index finger.

"it was the most unpleasant time in the life of the mother. "

"why mother? " ask Arqan curiously.

"listen first. "

"your father was very kind in front of me. He's humorous and warm. But I didn't believe him just like that. So I told your aunt, the Khairun, to make her die."

"know what aunt got? Your father was a drug addict*."

Arqan was agape at hearing it.

"it's hard to believe. Even mom doesn't believe in your appointment and accuses him of making it up. But after I saw it for myself, I believed it. Your father's so bad, he's probably the worst man I've ever known. "

"after that the mother reported her bad behavior to the mother's parents. You must have understood what I expected at that time. But your grandfather told me to change your father. Your grandfather was sure you could turn him into a better man. Because he said your father promised his parents that he would change if he married a woman who matched him. "

"until we finally got married. Your father was awkward at first, and it made me very surprised. "

"then she approached him and asked him to tell her his hope for our marriage. I gave myself to your father, I received whatever he wanted. And your father said... I want to stop being an addict, can you give me more happiness than drugs? "

"because we have already married mother would not want to have to obey him. For 5 years I worked hard to rehabilitate your father. "

"...Mother succeeded. I didn't think it would work, your father recovered completely and we lived happily. "

Arqan did not know his mother had a story very similar to the story of *******. Imagine her mother struggling for 5 years to heal her addicted father. What his mother meant by keeping a relationship was by making a bond like a mutual symbiosis.

"so I mean mother... Arqan has to make Rachel depend on me? "

Mother nodded.

Shortly after, Rachel wakes up. Arqan laughed at her for fainting for quite a while.

"i've never seen an apparition that close, so it's only natural that I'm shocked! " Rachel threw away Arqan's face.

Arqan was very worried when Rachel passed out earlier. His injured hand had not healed. Actually Arqan and Rachel still want to be here, but there is something they have to take care of so inevitably have to go back to the flats.

Arqan calls the throne to take Rachel's motorcycle. After saying goodbye and cipika cipiki Arqan came home with a basket by a neighbor who knew him well.

"remember brother! 2 More years!!! " cried Amir brother Arqan.

Upon arrival at the hamlet Rachel meets Aunt Miranda. Rachel greeted the friendly tantenya but was instead replied with a cynical answer.

"we have no relationship anymore. So don't greet me! " he said a little rough.

Rachel swore in her heart that she would never care about her aunt Miranda again.

Rachel unlocks her house and finds Nein in her bed. His longing piled up after 2 days of not meeting.

Rachel shook Nein's body. It looks like the cat has grown bigger. Rachel realized the cat's growth was a little slower than kittens in general. 

"your body is so limp, Nein, are you sick? "

Nein woke up and jumped like a rabbit, she was so happy to see Rachel again. Rachel decided to cook the food before taking a shower.

While next to Arqan and the Throne got a package delivery from the JNE courier. The package was deposited with Arqan's neighbor. The date was 2 days ago. 

Tik tok tik tok sounds inside the package.

Arqan opened it with a heart. It cannot be a bomb, the Throne said.

When the packaging prastic was opened Arqan was shocked to find that the contents were a PDD-branded cellphone.

PDD is a branch of technology-making companies specifically for the Indonesian military. But Arqan doesn't believe it.

Behind the phone is a business card bearing the name Arqan complete with the edited one.

"hp and business cards from PDD. Looks like you got an offer to work there. But where do they know about you? "

Neighbors who live next door to Rachel enter excuse me and hand over the other package that came this morning.

Then the security guard came and handed over 6 packages of JNE courier. 

Arqan who got so many packages certainly felt confused. When he opened it all, he realized that the professor was doing something that made Arqan very famous.
