Second Eye

Strange Creatures

"Hehh... It was a relief after telling the story" said Diana's best friend.

"Yes, Brother. If there is more information, you can talk about it with us. We will try to help Diana, so that she can escape from the agreement that she has already done."

"If you really intend to help Diana, please try immediately. And don't tell this to anyone who has nothing to do with it. But if you find someone who feels they can help, please tell me," the woman's message before saying goodbye.

I'm still silent. Staring at his back that was getting away, from where I was sitting at this time. Until the sound of adzan magrib reverberated, I immediately stood up.

I set foot toward the place where the water flows, to cool the heart and worry that fills the mind. Then prostrate themselves in worship, asking for guidance to the Owner of the universe.

" Yumna, did Azzam come home with Rey's boss?" askaku met Yumna who had just delivered an order to the customer, after finishing worship in the afternoon.

"Yes, I wanted to say goodbye to you, but I didn't want to disturb him he said. So he just sent me a message. Later they'll pick us up after the closing time."

"Oh, yes, that's it. I'll help you in the kitchen again."

"Yes, I also want to clean up the table over there," said Yumna away opposite to me.

With Raisha's brother who seems very busy, I tried to fulfill the customer's order this afternoon. There is no more conversation, until the closing time of the pujasera reads.

'Ting... Ting.... Tings.....'

A loud voice, exactly nine o'clock tonight. The visitors who come, seem to already know the rules of this place.

They were willing if all the cutlery was taken by the waiter, after the ringing of the bell just now. Except for the packaging of food that is deliberately ordered to be taken home, although it is still eaten in this place after the closure of our outlets.

There were some young men, who still enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the lake, as I closed the booth with the other employees. They sat in chairs, deliberately provided in the open with the night sky as the roof.

"Hey, how's it feel to work today?" ask brother Azzam just came, from behind me.

"Alhamdulillah, lovely. Loh, where's Rey going first?" tanyaku pointed to the man who had just arrived with Azzam, entering an office room located in the middle of a row of outlets here.

"Normally he comes to take reports from the financial department, and take it home" explained Yumna who is very familiar with Rey's daily activities here.

"Well, how about we go to the car first? There's something I want to tell you," I asked.

"Come, here's the key I brought. Just tried to drive the car he was about," said Azzam showed the key.

Arriving in the car, I told you about Diana's sister that I got earlier. Brother Azzam and Yumna turned out to be the same as my response earlier, furious after hearing it.

Still chatting in this car, I saw Raisha's sister sitting by the lake. From his movements, they looked very familiar. Although he turned his back on us, but I'm sure that figure is not human.

"Shhhh..it!" point me at Yumna who's sitting in the back seat of the car with me, and Azzam's brother behind the wheel.

"Sister Raisha? Who is he?" ask Yumna.

From where we stayed, we saw a thin and tall figure, with two hands that resembled long branches of a tree. Small branches can also be seen covering all parts of his body, especially the head.

"Eh, yes. That's his hand or what's the long one, why even kayak again embrace Raisha's sister?" said Yumna glued her face to the window of this car, to be clearer to see the figure who was still joking with Raisha's sister earlier.

"Come, let's tell Raisha. I don't want to be late again, when saving humanity from the snares of invisible creatures" I said to get off the car.

"Aish, don't be rash. We're new here, we don't know anything about the danger of creatures around here yet" Azzam warned.

"But, Raisha's sister?"

"Azzam's right. We should just monitor first, while thinking about how to save Diana's sister and Raisha's sister as well" Yumna said.

"Okay, I hope we're not late again" I exclaimed a little upset at their ban.

"If you don't want to hear our opinion, please finish it yourself," said Yumna starting to get emotional, pointing towards Raisha's sister and the strange figure next to her.

Hearing Yumna's words, my heart grew more and more unacceptable. There was a sense of anger instantly. But I chose silence, so as not to add to the problem.

"It's been... Already.., we should think about how later. After no more emotions," said Azzam trying to mediate.

I gave up, gave up a little bit before trying. Tired thoughts about sister Diana are still imagined, now they even forbid me again to immediately act quickly.

The atmosphere in the car began to quiet. No more ramifications of my babbling and Yumna, who are usually the most dominant here. Not a word was said, until Rey came to this car.

"I'm sorry, if you've been waiting a long time."

Silence, no one's talking about it. Until Rey was surprised to see our behavior.

"Azzam's? What are you doing with both of them?"

"Let's go home, I'm also not in the mood today" said Azzam handed Rey the car keys, and sat next to her.

"You guys why the hell? It was fine, how come it's all quiet now?"

Rey, who usually starts to talk less, keeps nagging along the way. Trying to melt the atmosphere, even though it is actually crisp and does not make me want to talk.

"No, Yumna's house is visible. You guys, I'm not letting you down before shaking hands, a sign of peace" Rey said, stopping the speed of her car, right on the street across from Yumna's house.

Me and Yumna just kept quiet. No one responded at all. I don't know what this feeling is, it just feels like to be angry when you see him.

" Athaghfirullah's.... Aish, Yumna, Istighfar. It seems that someone deliberately deceived our emotions. Istighfar as much as possible, and try to be calm to fight it," said Azzam after a long silence.

In my heart, I kept trying to ask God for forgiveness. Try to calm down, like the instructions of Azzam. Although there is still a sense of annoyance, but I try to avoid. And stretched out my right hand, to be held by Yumna, my best friend.

"Sorry," that's the one word that feels like heavy oaling spoken right now, but I'm trying to get it out of my mouth that I just locked myself.

"Yes, I'm sorry too!" yumna also looks upset.

I hug my best friend, in order to eliminate our anger, which seems to be deliberately influenced by the look of the figure's eyes.
