The Eyes of the Devil's Bride

A Hugs Full of Debaran

With an awkward smile, Shanika again asked a question to Nadine who is currently still staring at the photo of the man she likes through her phone “Why can you like it?” with a very close look.

“Because he's handsome? Haha! He was very popular at our Campus Sha,” replied Nadine in a tone that sounded more excited to Shanika.

“A-I'm sure, there are many popular men in our Campus besides him. Yes, right?” shanika replied again with her slightly quivering tone, which at that moment also made Nadine feel strange about Shanika's behavior.

In that instant Nadine frowned and immediately put the phone into her clothing pocket while saying “Actually you why the hell? Why are you talking like that?” with his regretful expression to Shanika.

“Ja-don't get angry first! I just thought that you liked it too fast. Besides we don't know yet, he's a good guy or not!” shanika replied with her panicked face after seeing the ketus reaction from Nadine.

“Entailah, want him a good or bad man! I will still love it,” replied Nadine with a sigh and put on a nonchalant expression, while rising from her seat.

“But,” before Shanika spoke again quickly Nadine cut her words by saying “Already, we forget it! Before coming here I bought instant noodles, let's cook!” nadine said as she picked up the plastic bag inside her backpack, after which she rushed to the kitchen inside Shanika Apartment.

While Shanika who saw the behavior of her friend who tried to ignore her words can only be silent while thinking “If until followed by such a ghost...there must be something wrong with the man, right?” with his mixed feelings.

“Shanika? Why just shut up? Come on, help me cook!” call Nadine who instantly also makes Shanika immediately rise from her seat and try to forget all the things that make her feel dizzy “Iya, wait a minute.” Shanika replied with a faint smile.

Until a few hours later, after Shanika drove Nadine home to the front door of her Apartment building. At that moment Shanika looked at Nadine's back which was getting away while muttering “She was indeed my close friend. But, for some reason.. I feel less accepted by him,” with his sad feelings towards Nadine.

“Hah... what should I do?” shanika continued as she flipped her body and began to step her legs in limp steps.

And on the other hand, it was Xyan who had just finished all her work in the Office. Without lingering again immediately go home to his Apartment and ride the elevator in hopes that he does not meet with Shanika again, because for Xyan women like Shanika is quite troublesome.

But, just as the elevator door to his Apartment opened, Xyan was shocked by Shanika who was crouching right in front of the elevator door “Ah! You're finally home!” shanika said as she got up from her squat and tidied up her clothes with a very cheerful expression to Xyan.

“Don't say... You're waiting for me?” xyan asked with a look of disbelief, while pointing at himself with his index finger, which instantly also made Shanika reflexively nod her head.

“Hah... which is true!” moaned Xyan while taking her eyes off Shanika's face and immediately continued her footsteps to get out of the elevator.

Without the slightest feeling of fear, Shanika immediately followed Xyan's footsteps while saying “A-there's something I want to ask....You think, why would a red-eyed ghost follow someone?” shanika asked without much stale base.

And with his leisure Xyan replied “Of course, out of revenge! Just don't know,” with a tone of speech that sounded a little tart to Shanika.

Xyan who had grasped the doorknob of her Apartment, that second also turned her head towards Shanika very quickly while again saying “Actually what is it?” while trying to be patient with Shanika.

“It looks like I will soon meet again with one red-eyed ghost figure in my Campus!” shanika replied with a fixed look to Xyan, as if she was asking for help.

“I don't think only one tuh,” reply Xyan at that moment also made Shanika jerk “Ya?!” shocked Shanika with both of her eyes widened.

“Originally you know, in your Campus it is.. There are many terrible creatures!” connect Xyan with a tone of speech that is full of emphasis in each word.

“You.... is scaring me, right?!” shanika snapped reflexively as she stepped out from before Xyan.

“Ya already if you don't believe, go! I'mtired. So, don't bother me!” said Xyan again while pressing the pass number on her Apartment door and immediately left Shanika into her Apartment.

While Shanika who heard Xyan's words and was left in the Apartment by Xyan, at that time also pursed her lips while muttering “Very unhelpful! I guess, I can count on it!” shanika complained as she entered one of the open elevator doors.

While in the elevator, Shanika continued to be silent and contemplated her fate which was already very different from before with mixed feelings, on the one hand he felt very grateful and on the other he felt very scared and not confident.

“I sucked once,” complained Shanika again when the elevator door was open and Shanika quickly stepped foot towards the door of her Apartment.

As Shanika was pressing the pass number on her Apartment door, she suddenly heard the voice of a woman calling her name at the end of the hallway “Who's there?” shanika asked because she thought there was an OB who had just called her.

Out of curiosity, Shanika started to step foot towards the end of the hallway which has a very large window “Excuse me?” shanika said without feeling suspicious at all, while making sure at the end of the hall was someone or not.

“Hm? Did I just hear wrong, huh?” shanika muttered while rubbing her own ears.

And right before Shanika flipped her body. Suddenly he heard a knock from the big window that was right in front of him, which made Shanika believe that he was being bullied by an invisible creature.

Shanika initially wanted to leave immediately. But, to fight her fear Shanika decided to face the creature that disturbed her directly by getting closer to the big window before her to look down at the window.

But, right before Shanika managed to look out the window. Suddenly Xyan came pulling his arm and immediately clenched his body very tightly while chanting a spell that Shanika did not understand at all.

“A-what-what the fuck?!” shanika asked as she tried to remove herself from Xyan's very tight embrace “Be quiet! If you want congratulations!” pinta Xyan while continuing to hold and hug Shanika's body, which instantly also made Shanika feel pounding “Deg-deg!” for the first time there was a man who embraced her other than her own father.

“Ugh! Long time I can be out of my mind!” inner Shanika during being inside Xyan's arms.
