The Secrets of Ebuh Island and the Knight's Mission

Chapters 13. The Mental Hospital

If time could be repeated (even time controllers could not repeat time), Yashna would not have let Anna leave the roof at that time. Let them claw until Nico returns. But everything has happened and inevitably he is responsible for Anna's departure to the mystical world.

“Kok can, Anna to enter the portal? He's not even in the lead, is he?” Ask Nico to Yashna. Yashna would not have to explain to him.

 

Yashna already considered Leo to be his brother because Leo's father, Mr. Baxter, was his guardian and caretaker. When Mr. Umbara, Yashna's father was busy with the affairs of the council, it was Mr. Baxter who accompanied him to play. And usually, he takes Leo with him. Now Leo puts Nico's girlfriend, his friend who is one of the highest council children in danger. He would not risk one more life.

At first he wanted to tell Anna what happened to Nico, without having to mention Leo, but he could not do it. Nico will know that Yashna is hiding something, even lying to him. He's not very good at making. And writing to Nico makes things even more complicated.

Yashna told him what Leo had told her. Carefully, Yashna tries to minimize Leo's mistakes, making Nico understand Leo's point of view as a teenager and his hormones.

 

“This is what the chair is called.” Nico stomped his legs irritated, put one hand on his waist then punched the air in annoyance.

BLARR...BRUUUUUKK... PRANG..., the elite hall is chaotic.

Yashna massaged his forehead. He sat down on the half-destroyed chair next to him. Fortunately, there was no one there but the two of them. All the teachers were busy taking their students on the bus to get home from the dance.

 

“Trus, we have to how?” yashna said after the Hall calmed down. He was worried about a stray chair to his head.

“Ya report on the Board,” said Nico.

“Don't dong! Can run out Leo.” Yashna prevents Nico's idea.

“Trus, Anna how?” Nico looked at his friend angrily.

“We look for another way. Please, Nic. Let's save them both.” Yashna whines at Nico, making her heartless.

“How? I can't even get into portal.”

“Let's go to a mental hospital?” said Yashna who suddenly got the idea. What an amazing idea I think.

“You crazy?” Nico looked at his friend who was even grinning himself.

“Not! I mean, we're there to meet Clare, the guy who came out of a parallel world last year. We can ask him how he got out. Then save Anna. Who knows he also knows the secret of entering a parallel world other than through the portal,” explained Yashna while grinning.

“Alright, come!” Nico hurriedly left. Yashna soon followed. In his heart he actually wants to say, Anu, Nic, we shouldn't fix the aura first. And by the way it's almost twelve in the night, Clare must have gone to bed. But he was too afraid to speak. Nico is vicious at the moment. Little cuddle, run his life.

 

They went to the only mental hospital in town in a car driven by Yashna. Although Yashna passed her Sim A exam just one month ago, she can drive her car smoothly. They reached the hospital 20 minutes later.

The hospital looked clean and quiet. No one's passing by, 'cause it's night. There were only a few guards patrolling in front of the gate and two people standing behind the information table.

“Goodnight, can I help Mr?” greet a nun in a white uniform with coiled hair.

“Goodnight, We want to meet Clare Prajamukti,”kata Nico approached the information table.

“The besuk hours are over sir, please come back tomorrow morning!” brightly the nurse.

“Can we meet now? It's very urgent,” pinta Nico but rejected by the Sister.

“Although I allow it, it still can't because it's already night and Mr. Prajamukti is asleep. We can't risk waking him up. So please come back tomorrow morning!” the nurse confirmed.

Nico knew full well he couldn't force the nun to wake Clare. He can go berserk and Nico can't get any information on people who are on a rampage. Imagine you're having a good night's sleep and someone wakes you up and asks, where's the toilet? Surely you won't like it unless you're stuck, too. So, they have to wait.

They went into a room to wait. In the room there are only chairs neatly lined up in five rows.

“Come on, we go home first and come back tomorrow, it's already night.” Yashna hoped her friend wouldn't read her out of the blue.

“You think Anna can wait? Can he survive? Without supplies? Without knowledge?” nico looked at Yashna, his heart still upset. Yashna just kept quiet. In his heart he wanted to say, but it's free here too. But he realized if he spoke again, the end of his history.

Inevitably, he sat down next to Nico. Bye, warm soft mattress.

They waited for the night to turn in silence.

“I'm sorry!” nico suddenly said.

“Huh?” Yashna looked to the left right, looking for the source of the sound. He was only half asleep, and woke up shocked by Nico's sudden voice.

“I'm acting like a bitch to you, I'm sorry, Yashna,” Nico continued without looking at Yashna.

“Oh, ah, yes gapapa. I understand!” thank God Nico came back to him, Yashna was safe, not a peddle in Nico's hands. Perhaps this is what is called the influence of love. Yashna knew Nico from childhood. They are close friends. Sharing joy, sorrow, and silliness together. In fact Nico is private who is relaxed, fun, friendly, and unselfish. After today's incident, Yashna took a very valuable lesson, never fall in love, you can be a bitch because of it. Yashna was a great conclusion. Did I say great? I mean suck.

 Yashna looked at Nico. He didn't find the right word of comfort. He simply tapped his ladder onto Nico's shoulder. He had almost forgotten that it was also his fault that Anna had entered the portal. Had he allowed her to go to war with Hera, at best Anna would have suffered only scratches, hair loss, and a slight loss of memory. But wait, he believes Hera is waging her manipulative powers on Anna, but she is strangely unaffected. How quaint. Come to think of it, it's all weird today. He felt strange with his feet at the moment. He looked at his feet. Miraculously, his feet were wearing different shoes. Still mending if only different colors. Well, this is the left foot of the shoe, the right foot of the sandal. No one wants to dance with her. It's so sorry for him.

“Eh Nic, I went to the store 24 hours first yes,” he said later on Nico. A 24-hour store is a store that is open for 24 hours or never closes anything that happens. Despite the war though, the store remains open, even though the person goes to take shelter.

“Oh, just go home there! I'm fine on my own,” says Nico still feels guilty.

“No! I want to accompany you. Besides, if I go home now, my dad won't open the door.”

“You sure?”

“Hu-uh, but I went to the store first mo buy...” Yashna lowered her head, revealing her different footwear. Nico actually wanted to laugh, but it didn't fit in time. Cook out ferocious trus ngakak. That's weird! So he just said,“ Oh, actually I want to talk earlier, but there's Anna, I'm not good, you'll be embarrassed.”

Yashna went away with a frown.

Nico doesn't realize he's asleep. He dreamed of seeing Anna sleeping in a small barracks in the forest, covered in leaves and carrying a backpack. Something is approaching him. Nico tried to see more clearly. A human-bodied snake monster with a basket approached towards Anna. Nico tries to yell to wake Anna and tells her to run. But his voice did not come out, his mouth was locked. The monster is getting closer. Nico shouted to Anna, but still did not hear his voice. The monster was 5 meters from Anna. Nico stood between them. He shouted to prevent the monster from moving closer to Anna.

“STOP!” Nico woke up from his sleep. A silent nurse moved in front of Nico with her outstretched hand wanting to touch her.

BLUG..

Yashna fell to the floor in shock. After going to buy sandals, he returned and found his best friend asleep in a chair with a sitting position. As a caring friend, he should lay Nico down slowly so that his sleep is good and his back does not hurt. But that night he just let it go because he was still upset. As a result, Yashna woke up with her body falling to the floor and her head bumped into the corner of the chair in front of her. Karma is paid.

“Ya?” Nico said to the nurse who now seemed a bit absentminded.

“If you want to meet Mr. Prajamukti, you have to see his doctor first, Mr.”, said the nurse was back in focus.

They followed the nurse to see the doctor who treated Clare. They were ushered into a small, comfortable office with a large, padded chair in front of the doctor's desk.

“Please wait a minute!” The nurse came out to call the doctor.

A doctor in long white clothes walked in and sat behind the table. He pulled a bolpoint, paper, and a recording device.

”Good morning,” he said as he looked at the two men in front of him. His body is as thick as his son. His face was paternal with a friendly smile. Round glasses perched on his crooked nose. Her hair is short white.

“Pak Charlie!” nico and Yashna together.

“Good morning, Nak Brawijaya and Nak Umbara, a wonderful day for inspection, right?”

“Do you have trouble sleeping, or often have nightmares?” guess Doctor Charlie.

“No!”argue Nico and Yashna together.

“We wanted to see Clare, but the nurse told us to see her doctor first,” explained Nico.

“Yes, I'm the doctor,” said Mr. Charlie lightly.

“Oh, I think Miss Kendra,” said Yashna.

“She for visible wounds. I'm for a sore wound right here.” Dr. Charlie pointed at his chest.

“Oh, so. So, our goal here is to..”.

“Clare is not well today. I had to increase the dose of the potion to calm him down. I don't think it's good to see him right now,” cut Dr. Charlie.

“But we have to see him. It's urgent.”

“He can rampage only you say ‘mystis’,” explained Dr. Charlie.

“Lah, how know?” Nico wonder.

“Oh, I just guessed,“ said Dr. Charlie. “I met Leo at the party, he told me everything. He's very depressed. Then this morning I saw you here, wanted to see Clare. So it can be concluded that you will ask how to enter the mystical world. Unfortunately, Clare is crummy to chat with now.”

“But, you won't tell other board members right?” Tanya Yashna was worried.

“Seems not. For a while, I kept it to myself. So..”

“So gone already, all my hopes.” Nico merana's.

“Hope to meet Clare at this time, Yes.but not to know how to enter from the mystical world.”

“So who can tell us?” ask Nico again excited.

“I.” Dr. Charlie grin.

Nico and Yashna looked at each other in disbelief. They would love to hear one of the strongest Knights, or Weapons experts, or anyone who knows how to fight rather than a potion expert who every day is spent indoors creating magic potions and treating debilitating illnesses, as well as dealing with broken-hearted youths, the,tell me how to get into the monster world.

“Oh, Come!” Dr. Charlie sulking.

“Is there any potion to penetrate the fog?” ask Yashna doubtfully.

“What? No, but it's a brilliant idea. I have to create it another time.”

“So?” timpal Nico is impatient.

“Not a potion anyway, but more to the ball.”

“Bola? Ball to penetrate fog?”

“Magic ball. There used to be a human who went to a parallel world. Oh, that's a famous fairy tale in the dance. Cook you don't know?” It is Dr's turn. Charlie is languishing.

“You mean fog ball? But as you said earlier, it's just a fairy tale,” said Nico

“Oh, not Children. It wasn't an ordinary fairy tale, and I know where the thing is.”

“Wait! Am I the only one who doesn't know where our conversation is going?” Tanya Yashna innocently who got a stern look from Nico.

“Makanya, if at school do not molor trus,” hardik Nico who got the grin of Yashna.

“It is fitting that Mr. Umbara always asks me for headache medicine.” Dr. Charlie looked at Yashna as if she was a little boy who liked to break a vase just to enliven the atmosphere.

“You know the fairy tale ‘Clove Mist'?” clearly Dr. Charlie. “Then, there was a human who was able to penetrate the fog. She was a beautiful woman, but blind. The Mist was amazed at him, making him fall in love. The Mist has always helped him. Long story short, one day the woman asked the Mist to give up one eye, so that the woman could see the handsome face of the Mist. There were no eye transplants. So, the Mist did not accept it, plus because his eyes were not ordinary eyes.

Her name was a woman, she must have asked for mercy. So, he continued to seduce the Mist. Until finally the Mist gave up, and gave one eye to the woman. The Mist had warned her that the eyes she gave could not be returned, but she did not care, she wanted to see the world. He should have listened to the fog. At first it was nice that he could see, but over time the woman began to see things in the mystical world.

The vile creatures start to frighten him until he wants the Mist to take back his eyes. But it was impossible, because the eyes he had given could not be taken back and finally the woman was not strong to see the horror she saw. He committed suicide and the Mist was very sad. He turned the woman into a ball of mist that could lead through the mist, through the mountains of Awindya.”

“The wisdom of this story is, never fall in love,” Yashna's conclusion after hearing the story of love fog.

“Not, but be grateful,” timpal Dr. Charlie.

“No dong, The Mist if you are not in love, will not give his eyes, will not be crazy, and will not kill himself,” elak Yashna.

“But if the woman could be more grateful, they could live happily.” Dr. Charlie won't lose.

“Guys, can you talk about it next time? Besides the Wisdom is not here now.” And everyone looked at Nico. Having received all the attention, he then said,” So, how can I get into the world of Monster?”

“Meet the Mist and ask for the ball, obviously,” said Dr. Charlie later.

“Sang fog? That's not a fairy tale that's been decades? Maybe now Fog is dead, even if there is a thing called Fog. Did he marry again and have an heir?” cerocos Nico's.

“Sang Mist is real, and he is fortunately not dead.”

“But the fairy tale was centuries ago,” said Nico.

“Indeed, but Fog is eternal. As long as it hasn't been the apocalypse. He still remains,” explains Dr. Charlie's the one who made Nico and Yashna gape in disbelief.

“Aduh, pity the name Fog, ugly right.” Yashna.

“Hush, He's old man. I'll treat you later and don't tell me he's ugly even if it's true. He doesn't like it,” Dr. Charlie warned. “ He likes to be said to be handsome, remember that.”

“ But, how come we never know,” Timpal Nico.

“Of course not, Mist won't be disturbed. Maybe he was still lamenting his girlfriend. Imagine if you were crying sobbing after losing your girlfriend, again dabbling and then interrupted, 'excuse me, can you please love the mist here for a while', or 'there the fog starts thin, thin, 'excuse me, can you please, please blow again’, or ‘what can you slide a little'. Believe me, it feels good.” Dr. Charlie shook his one hand indifferently.

“Sekian century? Wail?” Ask Yashna who got the nod from Dr.Charlie. “Oke fix, I won't fall in love.”

“Where is the Fog?” Ask Nico.

“On the north coast, he must keep the mist enveloping the island.”

“Fog keep fog. How strange,” murmured Yashna.

“Then, we'll be there soon. Thanks Dr. Charlie,” tells Nico that lightning-fast darted out of Dr. Charlie.

If there was such a thing as a racer in the city of Kelansa, it would not be Yashna Umbara. The speed of the car is not more than 40 km/h. Very obedient to traffic signs. He stopped when a duck crossed. Truly the dream driver. But he forgot to be with the element controllers at the moment. And the Driver is kebelt to the destination quickly. As a result, the Yashna car moves itself at lightning speed while swaying like a dancer on the city streets.

After reaching the destination, the first thing Yashna did was get out of the car and take out the instant noodles she had eaten at the store 24 hours ago. One of the lessons learned from the story of Yashna is that karma is always paid off. Wh why? Because as a good friend, he should have shared instant noodles with his friend, but again he ate it himself, and now he's forced to take it out.
