Stop right there!" tell Rangga with a serious face looking at Mila.
Mila gasped in shock and she immediately stopped her steps. "But why, Mom?"
"From now on, stay away from me, Mila!" connect Rangga.
"But why, Mom? Why are you angry with me?" asked Mila with teary eyes.
Everyone in the store started looking at Mila and Rangga who were standing in one corner of the room. They looked at the two with confused faces.
How not, Rangga is a gentle and friendly male figure. Never once did he issue a harsh word to others let alone to snarl like he did to Mila.
"You don't need to know what and why! What is clear is that I don't want to talk to you anymore and please keep my distance from me! Understood!" rangga firmly.
Mila took a few steps back. His face suddenly glum. Rangga's words at that time really made Mila's heart feel torn apart.
Rangga glanced at the circular watch in his hand then looked back at Mila who was still silent before him.
"Come, kids! It's time we worked. Come, work!" rangga shouted while clapping his hands as a signal to all employees in the store to stop looking at him and return to their respective jobs.
"Including you!" continued Rangga while pointing at Mila with the look of her sharp eyes.
Rika rushed over to Mila and then took her away from Rangga. "We'd better get back to work, Mil."
"But, Rica ...." Mila.
"Already, Mil. It's okay," said Rika.
Likewise with Rangga, the man waltzed away and then entered his private room. Rangga leaned back on the door leaf. His gaze was blankly staring at the ceiling of the room. A deep sadness seemed to emanate from the look in the man's eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mila. I had to do it" said Rangga.
Just a few meters from the position of Rangga standing, appeared a black-colored chair that was often occupied by the man, moving and turning facing towards him.
Rangga was shocked. He did not realize at all that the chair was turned back to him. And what makes Rangga even more shocked is the existence of a supernatural being who was sitting on the chair grinning at him.
"You-you!" pekik Rangga while holding his chest that feels tight. How not, at that time his heart was racing three times faster than usual. And it makes Rangga feel tight and difficult to catch his breath.
In just a split second, the figure of the magical beast suddenly stood before Rangga. Even the distance between Rangga and the magical man was only a few jengkal.
"I'm glad you did your job well, Rangga!" The magical man again grinned.
"But don't be happy just yet, because I'll keep watching you. If you make the slightest mistake of approaching the girl, then I will not hesitate to hurt you" Hans said, threateningly.
"L-yes, I understand," replied Rangga with trembling lips.

Although her heart and mind are very tangled, but Mila still does her job well.
Not felt, the break time also arrived. Mila, who was already very hungry, intended to invite Rika to lunch together at a simple food stall that stood firmly right across from the cake shop.
Rika, who was still curious, came back to Rangga. Coincidentally, Rangga was sitting in an empty chair, in one corner of the room while downing a bottle of cold drink packaging.
Rika looked at the handsome man's face carefully. Rangga looked paled and from the look on her face, Rika was sure that the man was in an inner pressure.
"Mas Rangga," called Rika as she approached the man.
Rangga reflexes turned towards Rika who was now standing not far from her desk. The man's behavior again looks strange when he meets Rika's eyes. There was anxiety and worry from the man's eyes.
"Ri-Rica?" Rangga got up from his position then tried to avoid the girl for the second time.
The threat from the magical prince made Rangga afraid to approach Rika what else is Mila. Yes, even though the actual occult man only asked Rangga to keep his distance from Mila.
"Mas Rangga, wait! I need an explanation of this strange attitude of yours," Rika said as she ventured to reach for the handsome man's fingers.
"Let go of my hand, Rika! Please, stay away from me. I want to live a quiet life without you let alone your best friend!" she said with an annoyed face looking at Rika.
"But what's the reason, Mom? Didn't we talk last night okay and why all of a sudden now you're changing and trying to avoid me and Mila" asked Rika who was no less upset.
"Now sit down and explain to me because I need an explanation from you!" rika firmly while pulling rough Rangga's hand and sat him back in the chair.
"Honestly, Mas. I don't care if after this you'll fire me for my abusive behavior. But for God's sake, please tell me what your real reason is so you ignore us! Did this have anything to do with the supernatural man who followed Mila?" ask Rika seriously.
Suddenly Rangga smothered Rika's mouth with her hands. "Husshhh, quiet! Don't mention the supernatural here!" whispered Rangga with a panicked face.
Rika nodded her head in understanding and Rangga finally let go of his provisions. The man looked to his right and left as if he was looking for something. While Rika continues to pay attention to Rangga's strange guts with eyebrows that are intertwined.
"Mas Rangga, why are you, Mas? Don't make me afraid" said Mila, stroking her nape.
"Look, Rica. It's about 'He', you understand ' right?" sahut Rangga half whispered.
"Him?" Rika still doesn't understand.
"He! The creature" answered Rangga with the language of the lips. His face looked annoyed because the girl did not also understand what he meant.
Rika nodded in understanding and then put her ears well. "All right, I understand now. Then ... what does this have to do with that 'She', Mas Rangga?"
"He's real, Rika. I've seen it with my own eyes and do you want to know what it looks like?"
Rika rounded her eyes perfectly after hearing the words from the man. He was so shocked that Rangga already knew how the creature really was.
"So you saw it firsthand? Ta-but where?" pekik Rica.
"He showed me his form, Rika. At my house, right after we finished talking that night!" rangga replied, still half whispering.
"A-what does the 'She' want with you, Mas?"
"Stay away from Mila, that's what he wants," replied Rangga steady.
