THE CONQUEROR (One Body of Two Souls)

FORTY EIGHT

The wind blew away the hair of a girl standing by the window of her room. Seruni deliberately opened the window of her room wide. He stood looking at the dark night sky. It looks like it's going to rain soon. Seen in the distance a flash of light above the sky.

Seruni leaned her body against the window. There is a lot he is thinking about right now. On the one hand, he wanted to immediately end his curse. But on the other hand, he was also worried. How will he live his household heresy with people he does not love. Will the house run for a lifetime? Or is it just corn?

Seruni flipped through the cell phone in her hand. He seems hesitant to contact someone because the time has now shown ten o'clock at night. But he wanted to know what next step he should take.

By strengthening the heart, hoping that someone who is across there has not slept, Seruni dialed the Mutual number. And on the first ring the call is directly connected. Maybe at this time Reksa is also holding his phone.

"Hallo Run," Mutual's voice rang out on the other end of the phone.

"Hal-hallo Mas," Sahut Seruni hesitated.

"What are these nights calling me?"

"Eem, I have something to say."

"Say,"

"I've found Alpha. Now what am I supposed to do? Please ask Mbah Suro, what steps should I take next?"

"Yes, I'll tell my dad. Right now I can't be disturbed."

"All right, don't forget to tell me later."

"Yes, are you okay Run?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

Seruni hurriedly ended her phone as her tears were almost dripping. He could not hear the voice of Mutual which made his heart tremble. It feels like now Seruni wants to lean on the chest of the Mutual field and pour out all his complaints. But all of that only exists in wishful thinking.

The night wind is getting stronger with drizzle until it makes the night's atmosphere colder. Seruni immediately closed the window of her room and laid her body on the bed, preparing to pick up a dream.

Seruni came out of the room when she was ready to go to campus. As usual, Seruni immediately stepped foot into the dining room. But when he got there he did not find the whereabouts of his mother. He opened the hood on the table which turned out to have breakfast for him.

Seruni pulled the chair and sat on it. He immediately devoured the breakfast that his mother had made with bitter feelings. He struggled to swallow his food. Seruni circulated his gaze once more. I wish my mom would come up to him and have breakfast with me. But until the rice on his plate runs out, his mother never showed herself. There was only silence accompanying him.

After successfully finishing his breakfast, Seruni immediately washed the dishes of his former meal.

Seruni was already standing in front of her Mama's room door. His hand was outstretched knocking on the door of the room that was in front of him.

"Ma, Runi left first huh?" Shouted Seruni from the front door.

Silent! There was no reply from inside his mother's room. Seruni also tried to turn the door handle that turned out to be locked from the inside.

"Serunion departs ma, assalamualaikum." Pamit Seruni then immediately left for campus.

Arriving at the Seruni campus immediately look for the existence of Kevin's class. Today Seruni did not come to Faya's house first as usual. Earlier on the way, Seruni had sent a message to his best friend so that they met directly on campus only.

Seruni down the hallway after the campus hallway where he studied. After asking Kevin's class location to some students who passed him, Seruni finally found the class he was looking for.

And rightly, Kevin was sitting in the classroom with his friends. Seruni tried to gather her courage. Slowly he entered the room.

Many pairs of eyes that pay attention to him, but he still continues his steps while looking down.

"Sister!" Call Seruni when he arrives on Kevin's bench. Kevin only glanced for a moment then refocused on the phone in his grasp.

"Sister, can I have a word?"

"There's nothing to talk about anymore!" Firmly Kevin without looking at Seruni.

"I just want to apologize to Brother."

Kevin got up from his seat then passed Seruni just like that. Seruni did not give up. He chases Kevin wherever Kevin goes. Until they stopped in the cafeteria. They immediately became the center of attention of the people who were there.

"Well, did you follow me?!"

"Sister plis, I'm sorry. Sorry if my last words hurt brother." Just what Seruni had just said made those who heard him shocked. Right now inside their heads were already filled with huge question marks. Last night? Were they anu last night? I don't know.....
