The Adventure to the Strange World (Malay Version)
Chapter 18: Silence
“Syaza! Ima!” call Shasya Edrina when the involvement of her two best friends disappears from her sight.
Shasya Edrina stopped running on a large ru tree. His ardent breath was trying to be restored to normal again.
“’Coolaf’ ! I know you heard what I said. I want you to let go of all my friends right now. Let them get out of this realm . In return, I will accompany you here! You heard no , ‘Coolaf’ !” the voice of Shasya Edrina.
He started to get restless when his legs started freezing. Both of his legs were unable to move. His body was getting chills.
“’Coolaf’ ! You can do anything to me. Please let go of my friends. They still have families waiting for them. As for me, there were parents, they never paid any attention to me. I promise that I won't leave this place. I will always be by your side, ‘Coolaf’! Please let them go,” seduce Shasya Edrina.
The tears that flowed were left alone.
Not long after, the tree on the girl's side began to move. Shasya Edrina snapped when she saw the tree turn into a giant vow. Maybe that's the real look of the guards in the snowy area.
“Why are you willing to do it for the sake of your friends, O man? As for them, never mind you?” the voice of the giant creature.
His saliva was swallowed violently. His eyes were still widened to see the giant creature before him.
“You are mistaken, ‘Coolaf’. They always care about me. In fact, our hearts are always united. Due to that, we managed to set foot in your area, ‘Coolaf’,” seriously Shasya Edrina's face looked at the giant creature's eyes.
“Why do you do that, man? They are just friends and not your family,” voiced the guardian of the snowy area.
“You are wrong, ‘Coolaf’. Even though we were bloodless straight away, yet, to me, they were family members that I loved. Maybe we just met in this strange world. But, they are very important to me because they are the first friends I have met and accepted me as a potluck,” said Shasya Edrina.
He began to smile when he remembered his friends. Although he often fought with Nik Akhil and Tengku Ehsan, however, they were the mood-sensers when they were far from family. Jejaka named Ismail Razak also always care about his condition.
Siti Shazanah and Nur Halimah often persuaded and always encouraged when she was shackled by fear and despair. They were the first faithful companions with him and withstood his war.
Seeing the face of Shasya Edrina's determination causes her to return to her past story where she meets a man who tries to protect a girl even though she is almost killed because of the coolness.
The storm of snow that was sweeping the area began to stop. The hardened snow on Shasya Edrina's feet began to melt. His feet can be moved again. Then, the eyes shifted to look at the creature.
“So, you agreed to release them?” ask Shasya Edrina.
“Good. I will release your friends. But, remember your promise, human,” reply ‘Coolaf’ .
“Do not worry, ‘Coolaf’ . I am a man who holds on to promises,” said Shasya Edrina.
“I will not allow this agreement to be implemented!” jerk them when they hear a wet hoarse voice.
They turned towards the voice. Siti Shazanah and Nur Halimah continued to run towards the girl. A close hug began to warm Shasya Edrina's body.
“Why do you make us like this, Ed?” crying Siti Shazanah.
“Why did you make a deal with him, Ed?” sebak Nur Halimah's.
“Syaza, Ima,” he also drained his tears when he heard the voice of Siti Syazanah and Nur Halimah who held back the sebak.
All the conversations between Shasya Edrina and the snowy guards were heard by them.
“Why did you say that our agreement cannot be executed?” about that sworn creature.
His eyes sharply looked at Ismail Razak for preventing him from getting someone to be by his side as a friend.
“This agreement should not be executed considering Ed has promised with us all in advance!” the voice of Ismail Razak.
Nik Akhil and Tengku Ehsan who were standing at the side of the bridge nodded their heads in agreement.
“Thill what he said, O man?” the creature's eyes were diverted looking at the hugged Shasya Edrina.
“What's the promise, Raz?” about Shasya Edrina.
He realized that he promised a lot with the men. However, which one was meant by Ismail Razak? Thought it in the heart.
The jejaka carved a handsome smile looking at the innocent girl.
“Didn't the six of us promise to complete each assignment together, Ed?” ismail Razak said in a normal tone.
“Tu bill. Not to us promise to return to earth together, Ed?” nur Halimah.
“What's the point if we come here six but back five anyway. Where fair!” the voice of Nik Akhil.
“If you're not around, will we talk to your family later? Although they never cared about you, but, you are still a member of their family,” Gap Tengku Ehsan.
“Ed, we are always there with Ed. When it is hard or happy. Remember that we are always there to cry and laugh together. Don't ever want to lose faith with us, Ed. Although we are different, but our hearts are united,” the soft voice of Siti Shazanah greets the ears of the girl.
“Wuahh!” the cry of Shasya Edrina was heard.
The body of Siti Shazanah was tightly embraced by him. The head is pressed on the shoulder of the girl. She was gently rubbed by Nur Halimah. Smiling they saw it.
“Measure!” grumbling Tengku Ehsan while covering his ears.
Nik Akhil also bends his ears with both hands.
“Takkk!” they were surprised to hear the strong roar made by the creature.
“I'm so quiet to be here people! I also need friends to talk and play! I don't want to sit here people!” complain ‘Coolaf’ .
“That's why we are here, ‘Coolaf’. Allow us to help you, ‘Coolaf’?” ismail Razak said with a smile looking at the creature before him.
‘Coolaf’ begins to calm down when it hears and sees the human smile.
“How can you help me, O man?” weird ‘Coolaf’.
“We will ‘make’ your friends, ‘Coolaf’,” excited Nik Akhil.
“’Make’?” doubt the sworn creature.
“We know that you can change shape as you meet for the first time in the form of a snowman. You can also turn something on because you are able to make the twigs on your hands move,” Tengku Ehsan's argument.
“Therefore, we will make some people snow for you. Then, you only need ‘turn on their’ only. You agree to our backup here, ‘Coolaf’ ?” connect Ismail Razak.
They think of this strategy when they want to return to the tree house. They also wonder why the last assignment is so easy to complete without a strategy while they are already at the last level.
They are also strange when no one lives except the snow people they meet. It turns out that what they think and worry about becomes a reality when they are separated from each other. They were convinced that their final assignment was still not completed.
“Good. I agree with your proposal, O man,” agree the giant creature.
He began to change shape into a lifeless ru tree. Then, a snowman appeared behind the tree. He changed his appearance again because he knew that his true appearance could frighten others.
With the help of the six men, three snowmen were successfully prepared. ‘The excess’ owned by the guard of the snowy area allows all three people snow made animate.
Cheerful face ‘Coolaf’ when he gets new friends to accompany and play around with him.

“Alhamdulillah everything is done,” their relief when they arrive at the tree house.
