PUTRI ALAM (24 Days In the Land of Freshness)

Chapter 2

"Why do I feel like I'm in the fairy tale of the deer. Where animals can talk like humans. And what makes me even more strange is that only I can hear what they say."

- Airli Putri Awardani

☘️☘️☘️

"O Allah, have you commanded the angel of death to call me?" gumam Airli.

But a second later, the shadow of the family twisted on Airli's head. Canda and laughter when gathered with them seemed to make the feeling of resignation that had mastered it, now began to disappear until finally grew a glimmer of courage in Airli.

"Quiet Airli!!! Relax..." Airi tried to calm herself. Although his heartbeat was certain to beat beyond his normal limits.

"Everything will be fine" Airli tried to walk backwards away from the tiger. I don't know what sentences Airli said in his heart at this time, in order to remain calm facing the tiger.

"Don't turn your back on the tiger!"

"Stay calm Airli!!"

Unfortunately the tiger even stepped forward to approach Airli. Airli could see the tiger's saliva dripping from its mouth. It was as if seeing Airli was such a delicious meal. Seeing that, Airli's breath seemed to be stifled to make himself begin to feel tight. Airli tried to swallow his saliva with great difficulty. Try to control his breathing as best as possible. Being silent in fear will not save him.

It was seen that the tiger was moving closer and closer towards Airli. Likewise, Airli, he also accelerated his steps backward. Airli deliberately walked backwards because what Airli knew, turning his back on the tiger can provoke the ferocious soul of a tiger. And yes, it will immediately make the tiger want to pounce on its prey. I don't know where that knowledge is from. But that's what Airli is trying to implement at this time.

But walking backwards is not an exit. The tiger even more wanted to pounce on Airli. Not even hesitant the tiger immediately jumped towards Airli.

HAPS..

Fortunately, Airli dodged to the side.

"Astagfirullah. Oh, my God, please."

The sound of Airli's increasingly irregular breathing. He showed that he was getting scared. But Airli still tried not to panic.

Again the tiger was about to jump towards Airli. This time, it was right in his face. Suddenly, this made Airli immediately scream hysterically. He raised both hands to cover his face. Hope both hands can hold the tiger safe. And finally....

One second, two seconds, three seconds. Airi felt something strange. He did not feel the slightest pain. Though Airli saw the tiger was jumping towards him. But why after a few seconds passed, Airli did not feel the safest or attack from the tiger.

Airli tried to dare to open his eyes which he had closed since. How surprised Airli when he saw the tiger was already kneeling before him. With his two front legs he straightened. While the head is leaning down. As if he was paying respect to her. Airli slightly retreated backwards, as if looking safe.

Pok...

Airli patted her cheeks. Trying to make sure all this is a dream or real. But it turns out that Airli can feel pain in his cheek due to the punch of his hand just now.

"It hurts." Keluh Airli's. "That means none of this is a dong dream." He muttered with a worried tone.

Airli looked towards the tiger. The tiger is still in the same position. The change in attitude that was once so sad is now calm and calm, making Airli confused.

"Nih tiger again pms or what the hell? It could be sudden that's changed his attitude." Mumbled Airli in the heart.

"How should you try? To escape, not dare to step. Not escaping, lives can be lost. So it went wrong." Airli kept fighting with his mind. Somehow his steps felt heavy to escape from that place right now.

Until a sound is heard, and immediately make the heart of Airli racing faster.

"Thank you,"

"There's no people,"

Until finally Airli turned back to the tiger who had now raised his head. The tiger gave a friendly look to Airli, very much different from the gaze earlier. The look of hunger seemed to pounce.

"Is it possible for a tiger to speak?" inner Airli.

"I can't possibly." Add it again while shaking the head.

"Thank you for helping me" said the voice again.

Airi's hair stood up to hear that voice again. The same voice as before.

"Who said that anyway? Thanks for what try? I'm not helping anything." Airli replied with a shout. Let's just say his screams were a way to dispel his fear.

"I am in front of you" the voice explained.

Airli looked directly in front of him. And right, in front of him was only the tiger who was still in the same position. Kneel on his two front legs.

"Ka... Can you talk?" ask Airli with a little stammering. Think of Airli as crazy at the time. Because asking something is absolutely impossible.

"Any creature can of course speak, can you hear my words?" the tiger asked Airli.

The very thing Airli is asking right now is even being asked questions for himself. It was strange to Airli how he could hear the sound of animals talking.

"Come, but I can hear your voice saying thank you. But, thanks for what?" ask Airli.

"Thank you for the tasbih light in your hand, it can destroy the negative energy in my body." Answer the Tiger.

Airli was silent for a moment. After that, Airli asked again.

"Light beads? Negative energy? What does all that mean?" ask Airli who does not understand the words of the tiger.

"The tasbih light emanating from your palm." The tiger again.

Airli looked directly at his hand. Search for the light in question. But he did not see any light at all.

"If you ask me about the tasbih light, I have no answer for it. But about the negative energy in my body, it happened because there was someone who wanted to take my power core. Because if he fights me directly he will not be able to, so he channeled his negative energy to drain my energy from within. That way he'll make it easier to get my power core." The tiger was quite long.

Even so, Airli still did not understand. Let alone to understand the words of the tiger earlier, being able to talk to him alone has made Airli dizzy thinking about it.

"Okey..okay. But I'll try to understand it. Umm... May I ask you something?" airi said to the tiger.

The tiger nodded.

"Before that, allow the position of your self to be more comfortable." Airli's Order. The tiger followed immediately.

"What's the name of this place?"

"The Barren Country." The tiger answered quickly.
