The Arrow of the Goddess

Chapter 19 Luck

On the way home, Ericsson felt someone was following him from behind, but after he turned his head there was no one there. His steps continued, he passed the corner where he met with Alexia at that time. The street lights suddenly blinked a few times. Unlike usual, Ericsson did not respond so much and continued his journey home, until it needed to pass a few more blocks. 

Suddenly, a strange voice was heard by Ericsson. Like heavy footsteps heading towards her. The wind is blowing harder. And the unpleasant feelings began to be felt. Faintly before the man appeared several shadows that were getting closer. After rubbing his eyes a few times, the shadow became more and more apparent. Three ghostly figures with her third appearance were indeed quite terrifying. Their eyes lit up red, they were currently staring at him.

"Ais..why do I have to see a ghost again! Damn it today." Ericsson said he felt horror when he saw the ghosts.

At that moment, Ericsson remembered that when he was working, he had released Alexia's ring, so the ghosts became more courageous to disturb Ericsson.

I heard the ghosts say something. But it only sounded faintly in Ericsson's ears.

"Give us your energy !" That's what they say.

Because he already has no protection, he had to flee to avoid the ghosts. He turned around and ran in the opposite direction to get away from the three ghosts.   

But it seems that the ghost this time was a little uncooperative, where when taking the bend, they had already appeared before Ericsson, and it happened several times. So it's like he's trapped in a circle of cages that go wherever he stays overtaken.

The man's breath was panting, he paused for a moment to take a breath. But unfortunately, it seems that the ghosts already do not have patience. Ericsson was thrown so that it hit a garbage can that was on the corner of the road.

"Braa-kk.." Ericsson was thrown into a loud noise.

Once again, he was dragged and thrown back to the side of the road.

It was impossible to fight them, he tried to run again. His legs were held by them.

Until a car spotlights his eyes. Get someone down from the car, with his footsteps heading towards him.

"Ericsson, what are you doing?" Ask the person who is actually Wulan.

Wawat !! if he were here too.

 

Inner Ericsson who saw the presence of the woman at the wrong time.

"Help me up ! we gotta get out of here !" Ericsson suffered an injury to his leg.

"Oh my god, what happened? Why are you hurt?" Wulan panicked, who saw the wounds on Ericsson's hands and feet.

"I'll explain later, but we'll get out of here." With a serious face Ericsson wished they were quickly gone from that place.

Wulan immediately took Ericsson into his car, he was about to go to the hospital. But it was rejected by Ericsson, and asked the woman to drive him home. There's no one at home, it just so happens Brian is out. The atmosphere was quite awkward at the time.

"You got a medicine box?" Wulan asked while helping the man lean on the sofa.

"It's on top of that closet !" While pointing towards the closet in the corner of the room.

Wulan went to take the medicine box, but apparently the cabinet exceeded its height, making it difficult to take the medicine box on it.

The woman seemed still trying until finally made Ericsson also moved to rise.

Unwittingly from behind, Ericsson's hand had already reached the medicine box. But because Wulan who suddenly turned around made the two become surprised at each other. The medicine box fell and their eyes met. 

Being in that position, Wulan's heart skipped a beat. Even his face was red.

"You all right?" Asked Ericsson who seemed to be getting used to the situation.

"Well, I'm fine!" Said Wulan who then immediately tidied the medicine box that fell.

With Wulan carefully treating Ericsson, on the sidelines of the event, Wulan began to ask back exactly what had happened to the man, to make him hurt like this.

Before Ericsson told him about it, the man asked Wulan a question. 

"Do you believe in ghosts?" Ericsson's expression turned flat, while looking at Wulan's two eye beads.

"Em.. It might be !" His answer sounded ambiguous, which forced Ericsson not to tell him the actual situation. He began to look for excuses as an alibi. So he had to tell a lie to the woman.

"There were only a few thugs passing by. Because I didn't give them what they wanted, they hit me. At that time they were still around. So I'm worried if they come back and attack you. Eat it I'm asking you to get the hell out of that place." Ericsson's explanation seems convincing, so it looks like the woman will believe the essay.

Finished, they talked about something else. But it seems, Ericsson is maintaining the existence of Wulan. He always changed the topic to make the woman stay there.

And a hungry stomach voice started to sound in the middle of their conversation. Where the sound came from the stomach of Ericsson who did not have time for dinner.

Wulan was happy to offer to cook something for Ericsson. 

The smell of cooking began to spread in all directions. It seems that this woman is quite good at cooking, the proof is that she can cook with ingredients that are just sober. But Ericsson wouldn't know if he hadn't tasted it.

Not long after, his cooking was served at the dinner table. And it's time to eat it. Ericsson opened his mouth and began to enjoy the meal. And it's worth 100, Wulan is really good at cooking. The food was spent by him without any residue.
