The Girl Of Darkness

4

...Yuki Kajiura - Somewhere...

Elsewhere, precisely Eris's Zalaam shop, everything was ready in its position. Eris pulled out a wooden doll that was written Ela's name for the Receptionist. And the doll turned into a human whose job was only to take down visiting guests and then hold the cashier as well.

Eris then tidied up the other items and arranged the black roses and tulips that spread fragrant and bloomed fully on the large table in front of the entrance. For others the rose scented like a flower but for Eris and Ela, it gave off the smell of blood.

"There will soon be a beautiful girl who comes here to borrow these clothes but can you give them back? Or.." said Eris staring at the crystal ball.

Then came the shadow of Andriani's lover who was walking with another woman and it was not his sister. Then Kratos who was outside the house slammed his cell phone into the terrace floor of his house.

"They're almost there" said Eris, closing the ball and putting it in the closet.

Their car gets to Eris's shop and gets off.

"Well, far away too. I'm sore," said Sarah wriggling the soy sauce.

"Yes, but that kid can be so close?" Ask Andriani.

"Guys, I can't come. I was told to accompany my two brothers at home. I'm sorry, yes" said Hero begging for mercy on both of them.

"Yahhh Hera you have bought a costume" Andriani said.

"It's okay that he brought us here" his brother said.

"Yes too. Yes it's okay to say hello to your two sisters" Andriani said.

"OK, if you want to pray Maghrib come to my house and I make dinner, then" he said, waving his hands and walking away.

After Hera left, they continued on a path, entering a narrow alley. Keep them in a strange place, when entering the alley somehow their feelings like hypnotized. The two of them were pensive between fear of getting lost but continued.

Andriani then pointed out that there was a house next to a large lake. The house was tall and the only house there. With a tall shiny black fence then they open directly to the front door.

Andriani intended to hold the doorway stuttered with a lion headdress. When his finger was touched, the door immediately opened and saw the atmosphere inside was vast and warm.

"Welcome," said Ela welcoming them with a face that had no expression.

They seem to be bewitched by the beauty of the neat items on display. Like in the world of fairy tales are all full of various kinds of rods and dolls. Ela silences them and just waits for an order from Eris.

Sarah then looked at the large vase on the front desk of the door as they entered. It was no stranger to seeing roses and tulips that were just pitch black. He doubted the rose was indeed black or...

"Hey, Deck you don't feel that this rose.." said Sarah involved her sister was busy looking at other items.

Sarah looked again at the flowers and then as she was about to hold them to make sure, Eris appeared out of nowhere.

"Welcome. Beautiful, doesn't it? The flows thats I get from the back field (Welcome. Beautiful, right? The flowers I just picked up from backyard )," said Eris to Sarah's surprise.

Sarah heard his voice. "Eh, astagfirullah! Shock me. Oh, from the yard. I think it's from my house it's just weird how can you really take it" Sarah laughed at herself.

Eris then walked to the place where the bar was located next to her belongings. Look at Sarah who is still engrossed in her world. As she watched, Sarah also looked at Eris in awe.

"Still small already can keep the store well, where are they? Why are you left to keep the store alone when it is still this small," said Sarah and sat down.

"They were busy I was assigned here for a reason" said Eris pouring tea.

"Your hair is so pretty. Is that real?" Ask Sarah in curiosity.

"Would you try pulling?" Tanya Eris offered her hair.

Sarah then held it real and took a close look. Eris' eyes showed no other emotions, only silence. Sarah sat back down and it was obviously real hair.

"Your face is beautiful. Is there a secret?" Ask Sarah.

"Humans are always curious, yes" said Eris to make Sarah astonished. "You have no need with me. Your sister is different" said Eris.

Andriani then approached them and looked at Eris and his memory returned. "You remember me? I asked you on that day where you bought your clothes. Well, this dress now looks different huh. Is this new? I'm here to buy" said Andriani, who was carrying the hanging clothes.

Eris brought a chair and made some more tea and cake. A little awkwardly, the two of them drank the tea. The aroma is very fragrant and this is the original tea flavored Chamomile.

Sarah looked at Andriani and vice versa. According to them Eris is indeed very mysterious let alone his two eyes that do not display anything.

"You know the rules" said Eris.

"Ah, yes my friend once passed this store," Andriani said.

"Not interested in other models?" Ask Eris.

"I'm interested in what you're wearing right now but still I want the same clothes I had. Can I just buy it?" Ask Andriani. Sarah turns to him but is helpless.

"It's a shame I can't sell you no matter how much you have money. Takeit. This shirt is new, which did not exist yesterday. If you're interested, you can borrow it but you can't buy it" said Eris, who sat in her chair.

"Alright then, I borrow," said Andriani who was still happy.

"Miss, you have to fill out the form with your name and signature" Ela told Andriani.

"How many loan days?" Ask Sarah.

Eris remained silent. "I give you 3 days to wear it as needed or display it. But you didn't sell on the third day at the same time as now, come here and I assume the payment was fulfilled" Eris said.

"Just that?" Ask Sarah.

"Yes but if you pass by on the third day, I can't help anything" said Eris, who gave Sarah a big question mark.

"OK okay I'll return it in time" said Andriani who half heard.

"It's true, Dek, you have to give it back if you don't get a fine" her brother said looking through cosmetics.

"This shirt is no ordinary dress. Has a nickname as a Soul Binding Shirt. The owner who wears it will look very beautiful and can charm someone he likes. But don't lure another man" Eris warned.

"Why?" Andriani asked after knowing there was an effect.

"This shirt does not like when it should captivate men more than one. He will get angry and do something that no woman wants. Then think whose heart you want to attract nisa is said to be lasting with her. After successfully luring the man you like, take off the shirt as quickly as you can" Eris said.

"It's natural that your body smells the same all day long" Sarah said with a laugh.

"Yes yes I will let go. This brother speaks so in front of a child!" Andriani said scowling.

"A question?" Ask Eris.

"After successfully luring senior, I will return this shirt here. If it's returned I can borrow again, right?" Ask Sarah.

"Where else is the deck going to be used? It's his promise until the campus event," nagged his brother.

Without them noticing Eris grinning. "Sure you can borrow it again" said Eris.

"REALLY!? Waaah fun...the payment?" Andriani asked who was hugging the shirt.

"Just as long as you return it at the time I give you. Most importantly you can keep your promise to give it back, Ela my assistant who will extend his loan" said Eris.

Ela bowed her body and smiled blankly.

"I will pay for it with anything as long as I can enjoy this shirt again" said Andriani who was not aware of his words.

Sarah was too busy trying all the cosmetics she saw. There is a soft and delicious material on his lips or face. Ela prepared other cosmetics that are safe to try on human skin, while cosmetics that have been wrapped are ingredients something according to their needs. So secure.

"With anything? (With anything?)?" Eris asked with a smile.

"Yes, ANYTHING. I'll pay if I can buy it I won't take this shirt away. Aaah better this is what use I hard to pray asking for something but not accepted continuously. After all, if I come here again, I can get anything," Andriani said.

"Hush, don't be! We Muslims are obligated to pray! Already been? Go home, it's almost dark," said her brother staring out the window.

Andriani then pouted to hear it. Returning to the room, Sarah kept looking at the pile of roses and tulips for some reason she was still convinced it was the same thing she had. Eris only looked at the two of them including her brother who was still in love.

While she was praising the beauty of the black rose, she accidentally saw her rubber band. "This rubber is the same as the one at home. Then." thought Sarah. Then turned to look at Eris who was closing her eyes.

Then Sarah looked out the window from a different angle there was a beautiful expanse of roses and tulips blooming and some spots that were cut out apparently. Sarah breathed a stupid sigh once in her mind.

"It turns out to be true, the boy had a page of roses and tulips let alone many other flowers. Different from what I have at home. Oh, come on, I am!" Sarah hit her own head.

Eris smilingly opened her eyes slightly and waited.

"Start like Mama no wonder I thought so. Already, this store is a regular store, and the name is also an antique store, it's only natural that I feel a little uncomfortable. Try me to breathe again the scent of rose mumpung still here," said Sarah back to the front and inhaled a lot of the aroma. But then he coughed and rushed to drink his tea.

"Go home yuk. We go to Hera's house first to pray and then go home. Have you prayed dzuhur not on campus?" Ask Sarah.

"It's free to pray that nothing will be granted" Andriani said, waiting for Ela to tidy up her clothes.

"You can't say that later with the stone. People who rarely pray become friends with the devil. Comeon! It's 6 o'clock!" Take Sarah and they both leave the store.

Finally Andriani also after saying thank you out following his brother. Sarah still admired the beauty of her flower-filled courtyard.

"What meda? Come on!" Take Andriani.

"The page is so beautiful! Unlike in the ruman many die and wither but here it is in full bloom. What secret is it? If you come here again, I will, yes" said Sarah who then passed away to the front.

"The name of this store Zalaam roughly what does it mean?" Ask Andriani.

"Darkness (darkness )" replied Eris.

After the two of them were sure to leave, Eris headed for her man-made courtyard. He put up seals as well in all areas, all that was visible now was a courtyard that had many piles of dead plants as well as trees. Arid and barren were stacked into one.

Eris entered the store and took the vase and spilled it all in the courtyard. Roses and tulips turn dead and wither away unformed. Then Eris burned it to ashes and blew it away. The page came back alive. Red and black roses and tulips also appear.
