The Angel Behind the Veil

Saving the Ring of God

The next day around 4 pm, Mr. Rohim with Arya and Cantika went to the tomb of the late Cantika grandfather.

"Are we going to be allowed in?" Cantika asked Mr. Rohim when he saw dozens of guards standing around the grave of his late grandfather standing guard like palace guards.

"Sure, show me the ring, then let alone stop you they won't even dare to look at you." Reply Mr. Rohim with confidence.

The three of them walked to the front door of the enormous tomb and were guarded as tightly as the kingdom.

"You who? and what's the need to come here? Asked one of the big guards there, he was surprised by the arrival of the three people and even one of them, Cantika, was covered by shar'i clothes.

Cantika only showed his ring and did not say his intention there as Mr. Rohim ordered. They had to keep the ring quietly without anyone knowing including the guards there though.

"Sorry, please." Said the guard while bowing his body and followed by all the guards there.

Seeing people respect him so much just because of a small ring Cantika instead felt happy and proud but privileged in his heart.

The three of them entered the tomb so large that, inside it was very clean and neat, it was clear if this tomb was well preserved.

"This is so neat and clean dad, guards would come in often to clean it, then where can I keep this ring so that no one can see it when the dealer cleans this place?" Cantika asked somewhat confusedly.

"Fin' there." Said Mr. Rohim while pointing at Cantika's grandfather's coffin.

"How could father? there's a grandfather's body whose own guard wouldn't dare to open it." Cantika said he did not understand the way his father thought.

"It is precisely because of this that if we hide this ring in the coffin with your grandfather's body, it will be safe including from the guardians of this tomb itself." Obviously Mr. Rohim.

Cantika understood his father's intentions, thinking for a moment and decided to keep the ring in his late grandfather's coffin.

Cantika slowly opened the coffin, he saw the body of his grandfather which turned out even though when he lived he was considered a god but his death could be a bone. It proves that all servants are equal in the eyes of God.

Cantika put the ring there and then closed the chest again.

"Why are you following us?" Mr. Rohim asked one of the tomb guards of his late grandfather Cantika when he saw some of them following him.

Mr. Rohim understood that the guards were following the Cantika they had seen holding the ring.

"It's not fate, it's your stupidity. One's destiny is determined by the Creator but we ourselves must try to make that destiny, not as you devote yourself to someone who is in fact the same as you." Cantika.

"Nobody's following me!" Continued Cantika firmly and then left from there.

The bodyguards are confused by the ring owner this time who does not want loyal followers like those who are willing to do anything including risking their lives though.

After driving Mr. Rohim home, Arya drove the car directly to his house.

"Are we not supposed to pick up Danish at her camp now?" Ask Cantika.

"No need, there's Mr. Sofian who's gonna take him home." Arya said in a slightly different tone from the one Cantika was familiar with.

Cantika did not think long, she then went into her room.

"What do you want?" Cantika asked a bit nervously because when she wanted to go into the bathroom, Arya followed her.

"Of course I'll take a shower." Answer Arya lightly.

Cantika went straight out of the bathroom and let Arya take a shower first.

"Where are you going?" Arya asked while pulling Cantika's hand.

Cantika feels unhinged, she feels alien to the touch of Aryan skin.

"No, you go first." Cantika was nervous and let go of Arya's grasp.

For some reason since last night he felt strange when near Arya and always avoided her when Arya approached him.
