The Girl Of Darkness

1

Eris's shop stands abruptly between the shop and the narrow Gang's house. Arae brought a lot of typical Semarang food to make Eris want to not want to eat it.

Again Eris' expression when eating it was just flat saying delicious, Raven and Arae were certainly just laughing hearing it. Ela could not eat because she was just a wooden doll that lived for 3 hours.

"Arae," said Eris, who stopped eating.

Arae who was devouring a lot of food looked at him with full cheeks. "Apha, man,"

"I met the spirit of one of the gods in our dimension" said Eris speechlessly looking at her plate.

The voracious Arae instantly dropped all his food. With a single swallow all the food went into his slim stomach.

"Seriously!? And then!? Her spirit lest." said Arae guessing while holding back.

"It seems he doesn't remember very well" Eris said and left.

"Whose spirit do you see?" Tanya Arae stood up from her chair.

Eris stopped and looked down. "Ares," then entered his room.

Arae was dumbfounded then sat down limply. "It's terrible if it's true, Ares right.." thought Arae. Of course he was told by his parents how it happened.

"Is there a problem?" Ask Raven curiously.

"May what Eris says be true. If the spirit reminds others what the body is like, Eris must kill them all" Arae said with both eyes blank.

Of course he knew how the story was, for months Eris locked herself in the palace with her two pushy eyes.

Arae tells Raven and she is shocked that the cheerful Eris turns into a loner. The reason is because of the war.

"Then what will you do? Report to the King and Queen there?" Ask Raven.

"Hmm I can't confirm yet. If it's bad, I'll report it," said Arae and started eating again but not as greedy as before.

The next morning at Kio's house, she rushes downstairs and feeds her fish before she goes to school.

"Kio, what are you doing?! It was lightning fast towards the aquarium but still had not had breakfast. Come fast!" His mother said fiercely.

"Yes, Mom!" Replied Kio rushing to run to the dining room.

The mother looked at the aquarium with a displeased look and followed her son.

"Today the course test results came out. Don't forget to take it with you" said his mother while eating and taking vegetables.

"Y-yes," Kio replied. He completely forgot about the course test!

"Don't let your grades be as bad as last month because you were busy watching the fish" said his mother, who continued to nag.

"Hmmm," said Kio feeling bad. He had tried hard as before but his mother thought he was lazy.

Last month it was his spirit down because the fish gave his mother some sick and his mother was also busy working so no one paid attention to him.

"School Entrance is one year away from studying seriously! This mom is worried, you've failed the state school exam. You just keep going to private school with your shameful grades," said his mother, ranting.

Kio just kept silent hearing it. "I will try again" he said weakly.

His mother looked hard at Kio. "Truly try yeah don't think about fish anymore. And.. finish all the vegetables!" Her mother said she saw Kio deliberately hiding vegetables that she did not like.

"Yes. UHUK! Why is it so hard to breathe?" Her thought.

His chest ached for a moment and he did not feel it anymore.

"Come, it's 7 o'clock get ready for school" said his mother, who was carrying her own bag.

They walked out of the compound house and Kio's mother locked the house and put it in her jacket pocket.

"Mom, is today coming home soon?" Kio asked somewhat scared.

"Looks not. Eat the dinner you have prepared. As always, don't be late for the course!" His mother said without noticing Kio's sadness.

Kio nodded silently then went to school alone, he looked very sad.

When Kio was gone, the next-door neighbor came near him.

"Oh, it's morning like this to go to work?" Ask the neighbor to see that Kio's mother is neat.

"Ah, yes" he answered kindly.

"SMA Mentari" he answered briefly.

"Geez! It is an elite school. He said the competition went in there very tight. Can Kio?" Ask a little worried.

Kio's mother pensive. "Kio can do it!" Said.

"It's good if it can, the late husband Mother is a graduate of a famous university, Mother is also an assistant professor so Kio certainly can yes. But don't push yourself too much" suggested the neighbor.

The Mother felt slighted, she was upright with a slightly high neck and a somewhat cold tone of voice.

"No, my son Kio must have the same talent as me and his father. If I don't send her to a good school, I feel so ashamed of my husband" her mother said in a somewhat sympathetic tone.

"Oh, I see," said the neighbor holding the cheek next door.

"Kio is my life too. Uh! I have to go now, we will talk again yes," said Kio's mother rushed to start the car.

"alright. Be careful" said the neighbor.

At Kio's school, he was already very happy to show his work. He entered the class and was greeted by his friends.

"Kio! Morning!" Sapa Tora waved her hand.

"Morning too" he answered cheerfully.

"Hey, Kio next week we'll go to the big aquarium. The new fish is coming!" Said his classmate Eka with passion.

"Well, fun. I want to come too" said Kio.

"Can't come!" Welcome Eka and other friends.

"Do you want to come?" Ask Sora who just arrived.

"Hmmm yes you will," said Kio staring at both of his legs.

"Surely he's coming along and he also likes fish. Uh, what is this?" Eka asked pulling something out of her pocket.

"ah! This is me trying to make a book barrier. How's it?" Ask his friend.

"Good! You are good at drawing, why not make a book barrier like this more? I helped him sell it. It's good, it can be sold in the aquarium building," said Eka hugging Kio's shoulder.

"No, better not," said Rico behind the other friend.

"Oh, Rico. What the hell do you mean?" Ask Eka.

"Like you don't know if you take Kio, we can all get nagged by his mother. Now is an important time for Kio, don't bother him to study for exams," Rico said correctly.

Kio looked down, he wanted to be able to go play with everything but what Rico said was true as well.

"Oh!" Eka said to Rico and looked at him.

"I also want to go actually," Kio said.

"Have you told your mom about that?" Ask Sheila.

Kio nodded. "But I have a lot of reasons and just keep talking about learning" he said sadly.

Other friends feel bad but if invited too, his mother will definitely follow.

"Yes, I will accompany you as a replacement for Kio," said Rico cengengesan.

I don't believe in Rico at all. "You want to ask for a treat, right? Kio, I hope your mom gets back to being as good as when we were in 1st grade. So we can play together again" said Rico and Eka.

Kio laughed then was very sad because only he would be at home, while his friend would come to the big aquarium.

In the afternoon Kio went to the course, the test results were distributed but as expected. All his values are destroyed, Kio imagines his mother will be enraged.

"Thick! Getting ugly! Never mind, I throw it away if later asked can give a reason. Because he walked without seeing the road, then was hit by people and the paper was carried by the wind," kara Kio steady then squeezed the test paper and threw carelessly into the street.

Arae coincidentally appeared there and looked at the exam paper. "It's ugly" said Arae mockingly.

"Eh? AAAAAAAA!" Shouted Kio snatch the paper.
