The Stupid of Laweyan's Shoulder

Chapter 38: The Other Girl.

The night was getting late, but Zayan's eyes could not be closed. Time and time again he turned around, looking for the most comfortable position. His body really feels tired. However, his head was still filled with the shadow of the beautiful face he had seen earlier this afternoon. Meanwhile, on another bed, Karman's snoring voice was already heard.

Zayan got up from his bed, opened the bedroom window. The atmosphere of the garden beside the house was so quiet. There were only the sounds of crickets and other night animals. Cold night air, rushing in. The man stood up, leaning against one side of the window. He looked up at the night sky.

Zayan sighed many times. Moments later, he saw a figure sitting on a tree branch. As usual, the man pretended not to see. Take your eyes elsewhere. The figure laughed loudly.

Not caring about that annoying laugh, Zayan remained unmoved. Looking at another corner of the garden of a house owned by his close friend's parents. Apparently, many supernatural beings live there. Two small figures are chasing.

The figure of the grandmothers sitting on a large rock. As well as the figure of a woman with a wide grinning mouth. Her lips almost torn. Who was sitting on the branch earlier.

Over time, Zayan felt the negative energy around him getting bigger. Makes his head start beating. He closed his eyes and chanted the do'a in his heart. The beaded bracelet in his hand, he rubbed it slowly.

About the bracelet, instead of Zayan worshiping or saving. He was convinced it was filled with positive energy by his grandfather. Therefore, every time he felt a negative energy pull, the man asked God for protection by mediating positive energy in it. Is not the prayer of the old man, stronger?

Seeing the positive energy and the glittering light from the direction Zayan was standing, the creatures frowned, annoyed. A few minutes later, the creatures flew away and disappeared. Especially after a figure of grandfather in white, silver hair with a stick in his hand, came.

Seeing the familiar figure coming, Zayan nodded then smiled. Nirwasita's typical laughter sounded reassuring.

"What are you doing this late at night, Le? Are there other creatures bothering you?" The silver-haired grandfather, took off the stick in his hand. Then, he sat down on the floating stick.

Zayan smiled.

"Gak, Cake. I'm just bothered by something I don't understand."

Hearing the young man before her, Nirwasita laughed.

"Don't you, you're in love? As I recall, the age of man as you are now, has begun ...."

"No, Cake. Not that!" Zayan quickly cut the talk of men from other realms.

"Then? What's bothering you? Didn't I tell you, don't let your mind go anywhere! These creatures will possess you."

Zayan nodded then fell silent.

"Grandfather remembers, right? With this pair of bracelets?" Zayan raised his hand showing the thing wrapped around there.

"Yes, of course. I told you in the past, your grandfather asked for you and for a little girl."

"Yes, Grandpa. Because of that girl, I can't like another girl anymore. But this ...."

Nirwasita fused her two eyebrows which were also silver in color. Then smile.

"Truly I thought, it's a matter of the heart. Right no?"

Zayan sighed in annoyance.

"Listen to my story, Mother!" pinta the young man.

"Yes, Yes .. Just tell me, please."

Zayan changed his position, now he was sitting on the window sill of the ancient model. His back was leaning, his gaze straight ahead.

Nirwasita stroked her long beard.

"Why did you conclude it wasn't the girl you were looking for?"

"The girl is engaged, has a future husband, Kek. Meanwhile, Echa even once promised never to play with anyone other than me, Cake."

This time, Nirwasita laughed so hard that she held her stomach.

"Grandfather laughed at me?" sela Zayan's.

"You're this, Le .. a girl's talk in childhood, you believe it?"

"I'm .. I used to be a kid, too, Cake."

"But now you're an adult. That girl was yours from the beginning. He'll be yours, no matter when."

"Honest, Cake. It's probably ridiculous, I like that girl. The girl who wanted to be my shield, when another child threw me with gravel or sand. The girl who wants to share her provisions with a quiet and unapproachable child like me. No matter how much I rejected her back then, the two-pointed girl always followed me. That's why I used to ask Mbahkung for help to protect him from the creatures that always bother him."

Nirwasita was still stroking her beard. Hearken to every word Zayan.

"You know what, Le? Death and fortune are the secrets of God. You and I, same thing. Must believe that God has willed, we are His creatures, unable to resist. I told you at the beginning, if that little girl is your soul mate. He'll be there for you. No need to worry about the girl you just met. It could be, it's not the same girl you've been looking for."

Zayan took a deep breath and then exhaled loudly. He began to think about the last sentence Nirwasita said. However, in his heart, he felt that the girl was Echa. His heart beat faster when he saw the two beautiful eyeballs of the girl.

"So, don't think about it, Le. You live your destiny now. Achieve what you expect. Make your parents proud. The girl's problem, don't let it keep bothering you. Oh yeah, you've been to the pesantren again?"

"Gak, Cake. I've contracted a small house near campus. Only come to pesantren during study time and poultice deposit. Because I took care of my final job. Once this is done, I'll go to another city for a job internship offer from a company."

"Oh, that. Most importantly, you still have to stick to your religion and your beliefs. Oh yeah, your Mbahkung can't go anywhere. I always see him staring out into the street. Maybe he misses his kids and grandchildren. If you can, look at the old man. I still have business elsewhere. Take care of yourself, Le!"

Nirwasita disappeared after saying goodbye to Zayan. But the young man was still in the window. Look at the night sky.

"Whose side of the conversation, Bro?"

Karman's heavy voice, breaking Zayan's reverie.

"Don't talk to anyone."

Unable to believe his friend's answer, Karman walked over to the window. He was wandering around, looking for someone else. However, nil. There was no one else there. Then, he looked suspiciously at the man before him.

"Samples don't go crazy, do they?" tanyanya, probing.

"About!" Zayan scooped up Karman's face with his palm.

Then, the two men laughed together.

Connect ....
