The Tippingback of Rania's World

Episode 57 - Eyewitness

Srek... Srek... Srek...

"What's that sound? Not a wild animal, is it?"

Rania sharpened her sense of hearing. His head turned towards the source of the voice. But his sense of sight had not caught up to the one that caused the sound just now.

"Srak... Srak..." The voice sounded again.

Rania's legs are weakening. Right now he was truly regretting his stupidity, who desperately went alone into the middle of the forest.

"Pst... Ouch!" There was a voice like a sick person.

"Eh, female voice?" Rania ventured closer to the source of the voice.

From behind the branches of the trees, a grandmother was seen. His shirt was stuck in the thorns of the trees. The clothes are quite unique. Unlike traditional Indonesian clothing. Her hair was white, neatly rolled and pinned with artistic wooden clasps.

"Grandmothers in the woods? A human being or a creature from another dimension?" Rania shuddered in horror.

Rania continued to observe the old woman, without daring to approach. Without her help, the grandmother was able to release the thorns that were trapping her cloth. His face was shocked, as he looked at Rania from a distance.

"Why isn't his face foreign, huh?" thought Rania.

The woman who had been freed from the thorns, rushed away from where Rania was hiding.

"Hey, that grandmother was very similar to the woman in the photo tucked in the book back then," Rania suddenly recalled.

With great difficulty, Rania also chased after the grandmother who quickly disappeared in the middle of the thick trees.

"Mom, wait for me."

Without realizing it, Rania now goes further and further into the forest.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry," said the Grandma repeatedly, as Rania had stood about ten steps behind her. It looks like it's Grandma's cottage.

Rania stopped her steps, "Why is she afraid of me? Is it because he hasn't seen anyone in a long time, so he sees me as a threat?" thought.

The forest that Rania visited was not a wilderness, but a conservation area. Although rarely visited by people, but this forest is not as lonely as other forests.

Sometimes, some groups of researchers and nature lovers come. But of course not alone like Rania at the moment.

What about this grandma?

"Mom, what's wrong?" said Rania softly.

"I'm sorry I didn't help you. I was afraid," replied the Grandma without looking over.

"Eh?"

Although it was still filled with many questions, but it seemed like Rania understood a little. This grandmother seemed to think, if she was Princess Rania.

"If my guess is correct, it means that this grandmother is one of the most important witnesses I've been looking for all this time" Rania thought.

"Son, gohome. Go back to the road you were on. Soon the sky began to darken," said the Grandma as she walked away.

"Wait, Grandma. Sorry if I disturbed Grandma. But I didn't come here for the evil showers. L'm... Just..."

"How did you save yourself that time? Sa-granny didn't think you were alive. Thank goodness you survived. And they've treated you so cruelly?" the grandmother said in a sad voice. His eyes are wet.

Rania was again astonished to hear, "So it's true that Audrey and her family are going to eliminate me?" the blue-eyed girl.

"Sir, the person that Grandma saw at that time was not me" Rania said later.

"You twins?" The woman frowned. Her eyes were firmly anchoring every body of Rania.

Rania shook her head, "I don't know. From childhood we lived in different families and did not know each other. But, right now they think that I'm the one who used to be missing" said Rania.

Rania felt, there was nothing to cover up anymore if she wanted this matter to find a way out immediately.

The grandmother frowned, "Grandmother doesn't really understand what you mean. So, what was your purpose in coming here?"

"I want to know, about the incident that Grandma saw at that time," replied Rania.

The old woman walked away from Rania a few steps.

"I'm not going to put Grandma in danger. I just want to hear the real thing."

"Do you want to report it to the police?"

Grandma was silent for a long time.

Ah, he just realized, "If later grandma becomes a witness, we will keep grandma's safety. Because grandma's innocent," persuaded Rania.

"Actually Grandma was living in guilt for not saving you that night." Grandma begins her story.

"I understand Grandma's position at that time. It must be difficult to help when Grandma did not have the strength, either" said Rania.

"When the weather got worse, Grandma heard a girl running while screaming in the wind." The woman stopped her story for a moment.

"But the time out was about to help her, Grandma was surprised by what Grandma saw" he continued.

Rania waited for her continuation impatiently.

"You... Ah, no. The girl had been hit by a car on purpose. They tied the weak girl's body with a big piece of rock and threw her into the lake."

"Geez!" rania Exclamation. "So my dream all along was real?" His body was shaking so strongly in fear. Without feeling her tears flowing.

"That's why Grandma was so shocked when she saw you earlier" said the granny.

"Did Grandma clearly see the culprit back then?"

"of course. They look like a couple with blond hair."

The deg! Rania's heart stopped. Did the Audrey Eikbergs conspire with the Ansleys?

But is this Grandma saying to be trustworthy? Didn't it happen at night?

"Ah, wait a minute here." The Grandmother rushed into her cottage.

"This is all I can save from that poor girl. Falling when he was hit."

The old woman gave a unique carved gold bracelet similar to ancient writing. Some of the sides are decorated with gemstones and emeralds.

Rania was again surprised to see a familiar object. How did Princess Rania have that thing?

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

With a hasty move, Rania left the place. Armed only with the light from the torch given by the grandmother, Rania through the lush trees that began to be shrouded in darkness.

Bathed in sweat and some thorns stuck in her shirt, Rania was relieved when she saw a row of parked water bikes. That means he has returned to the tourist area.

"Who?

Rania frowned deeply. His head was raised to make sure of something.

It turned out that the sun had not yet come down from his throne. The atmosphere of the lakeside was still dyed with golden rays strewn with a blue sky.

"Don't the sun's rays turn orange, huh?" rania muttered in surprise.

Her tiny hand reached into her bag picking something up.

"Ah, it turns out it's only 16:20." That means it is still forty minutes until the tour on the lake is closed.

"This is impossible. I've only been in the woods long enough, and I've shown it at 15:50." Rania sat on a rock. He was tired of all this weirdness.

"Eh, but why did you live alone in the woods, huh?" Rania just woke up.

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

"Hopefully mother didn't ask much, where am I going today," Rania hoped.

Before leaving, he was alone with his mother, without explaining specifically where he went.

Twenty more reached his house. But Rania suddenly stopped her steps. The look on his face turned sour, looking at a person who was dabbing his waist right in front of the door.

"Mikko?" rania Gumam.
