The Girl Of Darkness

"Are you learning less or stressed?" Ask Arae who has seen everything.

Kio snatched it away immediately, Arae just laughed at it. "Bu-not your business! Why are you dressed like that anyway? The afternoon breeze was strong, you know," Kio said staring at Arae's appearance.

"I'll be sweet" said Arae who spun in front of Kio.

"Freak," said Kio and turned around.

As fast as lightning Arae snatched the test paper and galloped.

"HEY! MY PAPER! WAIT UP!" Shouted Kio who ran after Arae.

The longer, for some reason Arae ran further and then he turned somewhere.

"BECAUSE!" Shouted Kio laughing happily but he was shocked, he reached the door of Zalaam shop.

"What shop is this? Is there a shop here?" Ask while stepping in.

Without touching the gate, it opened itself. He went inside while looking for Arae. Arae had naturally disappeared and placed the test paper on the large table inside Eris' shop.

"Excuse me. UH! My exam paper, why am I happy it's okay?" Tanya Kio was astonished.

Unbeknownst to him, Ela was already beside him. "Because it's your work" said Ela smiling .

"Oh hahaha yes excuse me," said Kio lowering his head.

"Welcome," said Ela, letting Kio in.

"As in the other world alone," Kio said staring at everything. A unique and funny chandelier drew his heart.

"Indeed," said Eris welcoming Kio's arrival.

"Oh! Sorry, actually I went in looking for a strange girl who brought my exam papers," Kio explained rather nervously looking at Eris' beauty.

Eris sighed of course this was Arae's job. "Arae yes," said Eris glancing at the other side.

Kio also looked in that direction but could not see anything, Arae was indeed there but he made his body invisible.

"As an apology for my friend's behavior, you can bring an item here that interests your heart" Eris said in a flat tone.

"How is it? I didn't bring any more money because it seemed expensive hehehe," said Kio laughing but both of his legs kept stepping. Well, it's here how else.

Eris let Kio choose for himself. Kio then entered the shelf with small items such as brooches, unique pins and then...

"Well, is this a brooch? How funny! The shape of a lock with its head wavy?" Tanya Kio held the bright blue key.

"That's the Sea Key," Arae replied making Kio startled.

"You!" Kio. Arae laughed mischievously and went somewhere.

"Sea lock? What's that supposed?" Ask Kio and then head to the cashier section where Eris is reading a book.

"You interested?" Eris looked at Kio.

"This? I don't know what it's for is there some kind of book?" Kio asked to find out, looking for some stuff.

"The key when you put it in any door, behind the door will appear the ocean," explained Eris.

"SEA!? Will the water come into the house?" Kio asked somewhat frightened. He imagined something like his house sinking.

"Of course not, take it easy" said Eris.

"Then that's it?" Tanya Kio was somewhat interested but scared.

"In it is full of freedom without being bound by any covenant. Call it your Sea Kingdom one," said Eris, both eyes shining brightly.

Kio was amazed and held tightly to the key because he was also curious. "Hahaha but it's not possible where there's such a place,"

"Then just try to prove whether my words are true or just imagination. How's it?" Challenge Eris to Kio.

Kio gulped, challenged by a beautiful daughter of course if he refused would be ashamed.

"Hell right! I'll try it! What about the pay?" Kio asked checking his pants pocket.

"You can give it back when you're happy" Eris said, making Kio feel strange to hear.

As Kio's eyes blinked slowly, he was suddenly in front of his house.

"Cool!" He then hid the key in his bag. And prepare to face the anger of his mother.

"Home home. Sit down, where's your test result?" Ask his mother who has been waiting for Kio for a long time.

Kio walked into the living room then took off his bag and opened. Take the paper from her course exam and hand it over and sit down.

Kio looked at his changed mother. His eye brows tapered sharply then, the veins on his face started to come out.

"WHAT'S THIS!? Did you study or not all this time? The mistake is a lot, I've been out a lot of money so you can be smart," said his mother who was very angry.

"Sorry," Kio replied lowering his head.

"It's not just a matter of sorry, I've said many times to focus on learning. Then why is it like this!?" Her mother looked at Kio.

"WHERE DID YOU SEE!? LISTEN TO WHAT MOM SAYS!!!" He then slammed the test paper onto the floor.

Kio lowered his head, wanting to cry. "Why... is mom changing now? Huhuhuhu is not like before, want as bad as you never disappointed," kara Kio who cried.

His mother then eased her anger and crouched down in front of Kio while holding her hand. "Mother this is all for you, Kio, for your future. Last year you were able to enter rank 3 why now even down? You will soon be in 3rd grade and then enter High School. I want you to be able to work part-time in the mother's professor's company. To achieve that, I also work hard to make you smarter" explained his mother at length.

"But I've got the maximum, ma'am, and this is the result," said Kio who was still sobbing.

"Mom sure you can! You fight, you must fight too! Yes next time you have to be better than this. Okay well? What do you want me to make?" Ask her mother a little.

Kio was speechless, there were a lot of food he liked but the only thing he wanted the most was...

"Hmmm Mother," said Kio somewhat fearfully.

"What, Son? Let's just say it," said his mother me gently.

"Our Sunday to the aquarium. For a long time, my friends have been there with their parents. I also want to, we will." said Kio directly asking.

The look on her face turned cold. "About that again? Mom can't. I do a lot of work for Professor and you also stop your childish habits" said his mother and went into her room.

Kio picked up the results of his exam then went to his room as well and fell asleep for a moment. He was disappointed with his mother even though his mother was not too angry, what was in his brain was that he had to study hard.

"I let Mom down and get angry again. I promised I wouldn't make Mom sad. I will be a good boy, will be diligent in learning and get good grades. I'll make Mom very happy but..."

Then Kio closed his eyes and remembered what Eris said.

"Freedom place. The Kingdom of the Sea is yours, one,"

Then Kio got up and headed for his bag. He held the key. "If this key is inserted into any door...is it true?" Ask Kio and find a safe door.

"All right, I'll try. Let's hope it's just imagination" Kio said, putting the key into the door of an unused room and turning it around.

There was a sound in it. Kio took a breath, then laughed thinking it was all just a joke. But he remembered how suddenly he was at the door of his house.

Opened... Sea water that filled the door was spilled filled the room but did not fill all the rooms of the house. Just in that room alone, Kio was shocked yet impressed.

The bed, the table, not even the sheets! It's just the ocean and then the shellfish and the fish! Then where's the room going?

"It's sea water! Cool! I forgot to ask if I could breathe in it? AAA! You idiot! Never mind... I tried to get in anyway the store was also magical," said Kio then started doing easy gymnastics and ran in place to get in.

He then stopped making ready movements and then ran and jumped. Kio closed both his eyes and slowly accidentally sucked in air.

"Wine! I'm out of air!" Thought Kio was panicking. Then suddenly he felt like he was breathing oxygen on land.

"Lho's? Eh? I can talk!? I can breathe too!? Doesn't feel claustrophobic! Wow cool! THE FISH!! OH, YEAH!!" Shouted Kio within that ocean.

Kio was very happy, he was not walking but swimming. Water but not ordinary water, I don't know if he feels very comfortable.

Arae and Eris continued to pay attention to Kio in the large mirror

"Kio," called someone in a soft voice.

"Hm? Who?" Kio asked to find out the source of the voice.

"Here, son," call that voice again.

"Mother!?" Excited Kio then swam closer to that figure. The longer he got closer, it was a shock that the figure was indeed his mother but different.

His mother and mother both have similar eyes and long hair.

"Kio, finally you came too," he said opening both his hands to welcome.

"I-Ibuuuuu," hugged Kio to his Sea Mother.

After that every day Kio always went to his playground and met his second mother. There is also the exact same house in the world but the difference is that the sea world is surrounded by various fish.

The educational value of Kio slowly rose and his mother was not surprised at all, it seemed that Kio was in a cheerful atmosphere. Mother made her mother very happy and showed off Kio's value to them.

"I'm home! Today there is no course schedule and I will play as much as I can," thought Kio putting down his bag and preparing for the room.

"Kio, if you have stored the bag come to the living room yes," said his mother from the direction of the living room.

"Lho's? Tumben's mother has gone home" Kio said in her room. After changing clothes he headed to the living room and entered.

Seems like someone else is there.

"This is Brother Rama, he's a third-year student at university P he'll be your private tutor starting today. Your schedule from Monday to Wednesday, our course schedule is over, the rest you can continue to undergo other courses. I've prepared everything" explained his mother.

"Hello" said Rama with a friendly smile.

Kio who was shocked then stood up refused. "NO! I DON'T WANT ANY MORE! I don't have any time to spare, Mom, does it have to be like this!? It's coercion!" Kio was very angry.

"KIO! What the hell are you talking about? It's all for you" said his mother who was also upset. "But Ma'am, I also need a break," said Kio asphyxiatingly coming again but he held on.

"You know Yuri? He now attends the same university as brother Rama. From Japan she moved to Semarang, I also want you to be like her. Don't argue too much! You don't want to make Mom sad. That's your promise!" Exciting Mother.
