THE CONQUEROR (One Body of Two Souls)

TWENTY FOUR

Back to the present!

I don't know who started it, now Seruni is sobbing in the arms of Muta. Maybe Reksa who was filled with life stories lived by Seruni until he tried to give strength through an embrace.

"It's Run, we wait for you tomorrow." Reksa rubs Seruni's back slowly. "Who knows you have a solution to your problem. My science is not that deep to free you from those shackles." Seruni nodded in Reksa's embrace.

After telling his life story to Mutsa without being missed, Seruni felt a little plong. Somehow he felt comfortable with Reksa who incidentally was the person he had just known.

"Am I wrong to cover this up from my mom? I don't want my mom to be ashamed of her son's behavior." Lirih Seruni with a miserable voice because his nose was blocked due to prolonged crying.

"No, you did your best."

"But what if someday Mama finds out?" Seruni began to fear imagining his behavior would be known by his mother.

"You just have to explain slowly to your mom about what really happened to you."

"I'm afraid my mom is in shock and it's having an impact on her health." Mama Amara looks fine from the outside. But Seruni knew, after the departure of his father two years ago, his mother often cried silently in her room.

"Pray only, may be given the best path."

Seruni nodded then broke her embrace. There are the remains of her tears that wet her cheeks. "Thank you for listening to me. Surely mas Reksa is now disgusted with me?" Seruni shifted her sitting position, giving distance between herself and Muta.

Late into the night, the two of them decided to enter the house after calming down. Seruni who was calmer after telling the life he passed to Muta, and Muta who tried to calm the stubbornness in his chest that strengthened when he was near Seruni.

"Rest, tomorrow we'll meet you." Reksa rubbed Seruni's head upon arriving at the door of the room occupied by Seruni and Faya. Seruni nodded then went inside the room. Meanwhile, Reksa once again checked the door and also the window of his house first before he finally stepped into the back where his room was.

Faya still looks sound with his original position when Seruni left the room. Seruni shook her head looking at her best friend who slept like a kebo, until she felt no movement on the bed.

Seruni laid her body beside Faya. Staring at the ceiling of the room, suddenly the shadow of Reksa with a shady smile appeared in the eye. "Geez!" Seruni scooped her face rough to cast away the shadow. "I think I'm crazy." His curse to himself. "Don't I get a Mutual pellet?" Terka Seruni's. "No, no! Mas Reksa couldn't possibly use his power to ensnare me. Who am I to let Muta do that to me? I'm just a dirty woman who doesn't deserve to be loved. Mas Reksa can get a much better woman. So there's no way Mas Muta would do that." Seruni immediately removed the dirty thoughts that had crossed her head.

Seruni tried to close her eyes so that she could fall asleep immediately. But until a while later he still could not sleep. Seruni grabbed her phone, she decided to read a novel in her favorite horror genre. Not long ago the eyes of Seruni had felt sore and finally he fell asleep in a state of the phone is still on. And the cell phone that was in his grasp fell on his body.
