The Arrow of the Goddess

CHAPTER 3 The ugly ghost

Every day Ericsson was in the house, he began to get a little used to the presence of the Goddess. Until he began to dare to ask questions that stuck his heart.

"Hi, are you really a Goddess?" Ericsson asked who actually did not know the name of Alexia.

"Of course, what kind of evidence do you still need?" Alexia who started to boast a little while tidying up the feathers of her wings.

"Nothing, I just have a few questions that keep bothering me." Add a few spoons of sugar to the coffee made.

Alexia raised one eyebrow which left several wrinkles on her forehead."What's that question?" He began to be a little curious about the question that bothered Ericsson.

"Why did you save me? Or is there something you just happen to want from me? " Tell the man who started walking closer to the chair to sit down.

Blinking repeatedly while looking the other way, Alexia hid her nervous face from Ericsson's gaze.

"About that, there's really no particular reason, it's just a coincidence that I saw you. Well, it's just a coincidence that I saw you back then! And of course sometimes I do it to other humans. " Laughs to suppress his feelings.

"If that's the case, you can leave now!" With a serious face Ericsson drove Alexia away.

Ericsson's remarks surprised Alexia, who had just been expelled.

"No way, I refused!" A short answer from Alexia with a face that looks not like the attitude of Ericsson who drove him away

"Why is that?" Ericsson made the atmosphere so quiet and felt awkward after saying that.

Alexia twisted her body so that she was now dealing with Ericsson. 

For a moment he looked at the man, quite deeply. Until he finally opened his voice."Because I have to take responsibility for you." Suddenly a smile appeared on his face. Makes Alexia look strange according to Ericsson at the time.

"In charge? Did you make a mistake with me?" Ericsson is increasingly curious as to why Alexia did it all.

 

For a moment Alexia was silent again, she sighed deeply, until she told Ericsson everything.

"Actually, I accidentally released the arrow of fate, where it hit you. Because imagine the punishment of the sky that will be given to me if this incident is discovered. I also have to take that arrow of fate back from you, by making you fall for me sincerely so that everything can return to its original state. I'll also be responsible for protecting you from the demons or ghosts that start to target your energy." Alexia who blatantly explained it to Ericsson. 

"Go, I don't need anything like that! And I'm really grateful that you saved me. But I don't need any accountability from you either. Especially until falling in love with you, it sounds so silly. My life will be the same anyway." Ericsson who seemed to reject the presence of the Goddess who suddenly entered his life.

"Are you sure of what he said?" Questioning Ericsson's words again, Alexia stared intently at the man.

"Of course." With confidence Ericsson said.

"Em.all right, it seems you're pretty sure you can handle it. Then goodbye." At first glance Alexia had just smiled, then came back flat-faced as if she did not mind Ericsson's request. 

But there seemed to be something else with Alexia's smile back then. How could he have easily agreed to Ericsson's request just like that.

And Cling…. Alexia disappeared in an instant. Making Ericsson's eyes round after the incident. 

"Has he gone?" Ericsson said as he looked around, looking to see if Alexia had left.

"It seems real, he's already gone !" A wide smile began to expand on its own. "Thank God I can calm down now." It was clear from his face that Ericsson was happy with Alexia's departure. He needs to rest, because tomorrow he has to work. Ericsson began to prepare for sleep.

Feeling comfortable with his current state, Ericsson's eyes slowly began to shut. She was immersed in a dream that took her away.

"You've woken up my husband?" Said the beautiful woman while smiling gently.

Husband? Since when did I get married? Wow.. I guess there's nothing real! 

Ericsson is suspicious of the situation. Suddenly his body could not move. 

"Why this? Why can't I move?" Panic was evident from Ericsson's face at the time.

"Relax my husband, after our unification ritual is over. We'll always be together forever." The woman's face faintly began to change with a broken face in the absence of skin attached. It looks so horrible.

Afraid? of course scared, but Ericsson could not do anything, where his voice also disappeared. Want to ask for help how to try?

Finally he nodded and shouted in his heart. "Whoever, help me !"

Alexia!

Alexia's name was suddenly called by Ericsson, who actually did not know whose name it belonged to. And after that name was called in his heart. Something strange happened.

"Aish.basal ugly ghost, at least donk before choosing a husband!" Alexia suddenly appears and kicks the ugly ghost from above Ericsson.

"Emm..mmm..mmm" Ericsson who couldn't speak wanted to say something to Alexia.

"What's? What are you talking about?" Alexia said with her face down.

"Emm.mmm.." Still can't talk.

"Ah. apparently you can't talk." Alexia snapped her finger, and Ericsson was able to speak again.

"Save me !" With his unfavorable condition Ericsson was forced to ask Alexia.

Alexia smiled, hearing it. "Of course, but you should kiss me if you want to survive." Alexia clear.

"Well.what?"  Ericsson was stunned after hearing the terms of Alexia 

"Wouldn't you? it's okay, I can go now." Alexia is playing her part now. Making a little threat to Ericsson.

"Well, I will. So come closer!"  Ericsson, who had no other choice, agreed to the terms.

And draw near to Alexia, so that the desired kiss can be obtained. Another ray of light appeared after they kissed. Ericsson returned to her room. When he returned, he realized it was a dream.

"What's? It's just a dream?" Said Ericsson, who was conscious.

"Of course not, it was real. You almost died if you were taken by that ugly ghost." Alexia suddenly appears from under the blanket complete with her cute expression, who wants to catch her game fish.

"Well..how can you….?" Because he felt his words would be in vain Ericsson did not continue it.

"Huh.had it ! tomorrow morning you have to explain everything." Ericsson resigned to his condition at the time.

"Hmm" Alexia nodded in understanding. And slowly his hands began to act, he hugged Ericsson's body. But immediately the hand was just clipped. 

It wasn't Alexia's name if she had to stop halfway. He kept doing the same thing all night. Until finally the man was overwhelmed and relented letting his body be embraced by Alexia. And that night they decided to end it all until Ericsson went back to sleep.
