The Eyes of the Devil's Bride

Elvan's Coercion

Because Shanika did not reply to Elvan's greeting, Nadine reflexively said “Surely Shanika remembered! After all, which woman can forget the face of Brother Elvan? Hehe,” praise Nadine with her sweet tone and her facial expression that looks so adoring to Elvan.

That instant also made Elvan quite happy. But, he actually felt more curious to Shanika who just silently watched him.

A few seconds later, Nadine who kept trying to find the topic accidentally saw the small yellow paper currently held by Elvan and reflexively said “Hm? What paper?” nadine asked with a fixed gaze towards Elvan's right hand.

“Yes? oh this... this morning suddenly there was an old woman who gave me this talisman, she said if I continue to take it I will avoid evil creatures!” elvan replied with a soft laugh as if he did not believe the words of the old woman who gave him the amulet.

“Haha! Don't tell me, if you believe such a thing?” god Nadine while laughing softly was also like Elvan who was currently still standing before her.

While Shanika who listened to the words of Elvan, at that time also thought “Ah! So, the red-eyed female ghost figure could not follow her because there was that thing!” he nodded his head, because what he was thinking about now made sense.

But, suddenly Elvan who was talking to Nadine said “I also do not want to believe in things like this talisman. Is it better if I just destroy it?” elvan asked Nadine while squeezing the talisman paper which is currently still in his right hand.

Shanika who believes one hundred percent that the talisman can make Elvan avoid evil creatures, that second also directly reached Elvan's right hand while saying “Don't!” that instant also made Elvan and Nadine surprised simultaneously, because of Shanika's strange behavior.

“Ah, I mean... It never hurts to believe with this talisman, who knows big brother can really avoid evil creatures!” continued Shanika while pulling her hand back, with an awkward smile before Elvan and Nadine who were currently fixedly staring at her.

“Oh, I see,” muttered Elvan in a very slow voice.

“Since when do you believe such things? As far as I know you hate mystical things so much,” asked Nadine reflexively while trying to hide her expression that was clearly visible in Shanika's eyes.

“Lately, I decided to believe,” Shanika replied as she returned Nadine's gaze with her friendly gaze.

“Haha! Since Shanika said so, I will keep this talisman as good as possible!” reply Elvan with a tone of speech that suddenly became very excited, which immediately also made Shanika nod her head awkwardly, while Nadine just frowned as if she did not like what Elvan said.

 ***

About twenty minutes later, Elvan's friends who were members of the basketball came to the cafeteria in groups and immediately invited Elvan to join the practice, which at that time also made Nadine want to see their training sessions.

While Shanika who until now still avoids several locations on the campus for fear of meeting the evil creature. Without saying much, he slowly stepped out of the canteen to go out.

“Huh... finally I can be free from the two of them,” muttered Shanika with a feeling of relief, while continuing her footsteps until almost in front of the campus building.

But, just before Shanika stopped the taxi car on the side of the road, she suddenly heard the voice of Elvan calling her from behind “Shanika!” that instant also made him immediately turn his head and show high vigilance to Elvan.

“Ji-fetish?” shanika asked as Elvan stood right in front of her.

“Be sure to keep carrying the amulet,” pinta Shanika very firmly, which instantly also makes Elvan more happy “Hm, of course!” reply Elvan with a big smile.

In that instant, Shanika who saw Elvan's smile immediately thought that she had done the wrong thing “Ah... I should still keep my distance from this man!” with a feeling of regret, while trying to take his eyes off Elvan's face.

Elvan who wants to continue to attract Shanika's attention, confidently said again “You want to go home, huh? How about I take you? Where are you staying?” elvan asked repeatedly with a tone of speech that sounded very sweet and attentive to Shanika, which immediately also made Shanika feel

very disturbed.

“Not brother want meatball practice? Why would you suddenly take me home?” reply Shanika while continuing to try to keep her distance from Elvan who inexplicably kept trying to get close to her.

“It seems you don't know yet, if I am their best member.. So, I am free to practice anytime!” elvan said confidently again, as if trying to show his charm to Shanika.

“Ah, so yes.” reply Shanika with an expression of indifference.

Elvan who saw the cold reaction of Shanika, instead of giving up he actually felt increasingly challenged and reflexively said “Come, let me drop! Your home isn't that far from here, is it?” elvan asked as he reached for Shanika's right wrist casually.

Which at once also makes Shanika surprised by the behavior of Elvan who is very brave to hold his handwriting without permission first “Ya? I can go home by myself anyway,” Shanika replied with her panicked expression.

“Not to be ashamed, I will drive you home safely!” elvan said with a big smile to Shanika, while pulling Shanika to go follow her.

“Tu-wait,” muttered Shanika who was confused to reject Elvan's invitation.

“I will take you by motor, count-count... I can help you save transportation cost!” elvan said again without caring about the feelings or rejection Shanika showed him so clearly.

Shanika who was confused by her way of rejecting Elvan's invitation, at that time also expected someone to come to help her and unexpectedly, Shanika suddenly heard Xyan's voice “Stop forcing!” that instant also made Shanika and Elvan turn his head simultaneously.

“Xy-xyan?!” shanika said with a feeling of pleasure when she saw Xyan coming in front of her campus building.

“Rather than helping... You look more like you're kidnapping!” continued Xyan while pulling Shanika's right hand which had been held very tightly by Elvan.

Elvan who heard Xyan's words and saw Xyan's behavior that was very disturbing was immediately frowned while releasing his hand grip from Shanika's wrist,

After that, Elvan put on an unpleasant expression while saying “Who are you? Shanika, you know this man?” elvan asked with a sharp look to Shanika, which immediately also made Shanika feel scared and reflexively clasped Xyan's left hand tightly.
