Traveling to the Unseen Realm

2. Is different...

Ranvier got in and sat in the car quietly. The woman who invited him to join earlier sat in the front seat while talking to the driver. The driver seemed to nod imprecisely if the woman was someone who had a high position or position. The language used was a little strange, even Ranvier did not understand the content of their conversation at all.

But because he felt tired and sleepy due to the rain, Ranvier closed his eyes slowly. During the short trip Ranvier fell asleep for a while. He woke up when a gentle pat touched his left cheek.

" Wake up Mas Ranvier.," said the man who was none other than the driver who was driving the car earlier.

Ranvier opened his eyes and was surprised to see the driver in front of him. Their position is so close that it makes Ranvier uncomfortable.

" What's the matter, sir...?!" ranvier asked as he shifted away from the driver.

" We have reached Mas..," said the driver with a smile.

" Same where...?" ranvier was confused.

" Sampe at home. Nyai said, Mas Ranvier just went inside.", said the driver while pointing into the house.

Ranvier turned to the direction the man pointed at and was surprised. How not. At that time he was in front of a magnificent house like a palace. Which all the walls and frames glittered like they were made of gold.

" This is the house of the Mother that was Mr...?!" ranvier asked as he opened the car door.

" Just right. Mas better enter now, yes, instead of Mas hungry and want to eat daritadi...?" asked the driver while glancing at Ranvier's stomach.

Ranvier was surprised because just after the driver finished his sentence, Ranvier's stomach rang to make the teenager bow his head in shame.

The driver laughed loudly and broke Ranvier's hair with anxiety. After that he took Ranvier's hand and brought him into the magnificent house like a palace.

The man who was later known as Damar was seen looking down unruly shortly after passing the doorway. Ranvier who did not understand anything could only follow Damar's movements. Ranvier's innocent demeanor made the little family before him smile.

" here. Sitting here Ranvier." said the narrow-eyed woman who had invited Ranvier into her car in a friendly manner.

The woman smiled as she patted the empty chair beside her.

" Good Mom, thank you.., "said Ranvier as he stepped slowly towards the chair reserved for him.

" First let me introduce myself. My name is Aria and this is my family. This is my husband, call him Kyai Ranggana. That's why you can call me Nyai Ranggana. And this is my daughter, her name is Arcana." said Aria kindly as she patted her husband and daughter's hands in turn.

" Oh so. Hello, greetings. I'm Ranvier. I just happened to come here because Nyai Ranggana's driver has made me soaked and dirty. But I promise it won't be long. Once my clothes are washed and dry, I'll be out of here. Suerr..," said Ranvier solemnly as he pointed his middle and index fingers together.

Ranvier's words made Aria, Ranggana and Arcana stare at each other for a moment then laugh a little.

" We believe. Sit quietly and eat Ranvier. We can talk while eating, right" said Ranggana with a smile.

" Both Kyai..," said Ranvier with a clumsy smile.

Then Ranvier began to observe the food on the table. Although some of the food presented looks strange in his eyes, but Ranvier does not care. The hunger has made him forget to eat the dish with greed.

At the same time elsewhere.

A man about seventy years old was seen pacing around the front room while occasionally looking out of the house. That man is Randu, Ranvier's biological grandfather.

Randu still looks dashing in his old age. Big tall with white hair and minus glasses perched on his nose. Currently, Randu is suffering from a very severe anxiety. The cause is Ranvier, his only granddaughter who did not return home. The clock was showing at eleven o'clock in the evening.

Randu apparently stopped his steps when the sound of a motorbike roar entered his yard. He turned his head and smiled to see the figure of the man who had just come down from the motorbike.

" How, is there any news where Ranvier is now...?" ask Randu impatiently.

" I'm sorry, Sir. We've been looking to the usual place where he plays with his friends, but Ranvier is not there.", said the trust man Randu in a soft voice.

The man's words made Randu clench his hands as it held back in annoyance. He even fell down on the sofa with a long sigh.

" Where is the boy. Why until this hour you go home too..," muttered Randu while kneeling his temple.

Suddenly a man entered the house in a hurry. Randu and some of the men in the room turned to the man.

" I found this Mr...," said Tomi while showing a purple hat which is a favorite object of Ranvier.

Randu rushed to grab the purple hat and looked at it fixedly for a while.

" Where did you find this Tom...?" ask Randu.

" On the road not far from the school Mr...," Tomi said quickly.

" On the street...?" ask Randu in disbelief.

" right. In the middle of the road, more precisely. The trace of Ranvier disappeared in the middle of the road just like that Sir..," said Tomi steady.

" How can you be sure Ranvier disappeared in the middle of the road...?" ask Randu not understand.

" I brought Bruno to follow Ranvier's whereabouts, sir. From the bruno look that he lost track of Ranvier exactly where the hat was found..," said Tomi quickly to make Randu nodded.

Not without reason Randu nodded in understanding. Bruno is the name of his guard dog, which Tomi takes care of. Bruno's ability as a guard dog is beyond question. If a dog as good as Bruno loses track of Ranvier, it means something has happened to Ranvier and it makes Randu anxious not overbearing.

" So what do you think...?" asked Randu while staring at Tomi.

" Ranvier's eyes were picked up by someone and left there in a vehicle. Mmm.., maybe Ranvier was kidnapped, sir..," said Tomi hesitated but surprised Randu enough.

" Oh yeah. Who would dare to kidnap my Ranvier...?!" ask Randu riled.

" I'm just guessing Sir. Sorry if I was wrong..," said Tomi was not happy.

" alright. I want you to continue your search for Ranvier right now. Call the school and your friends. Give a reward to anyone who can give accurate information where Ranvier is hiding now." Randu said as he got up from his seat.

" Okay, sir...!" tomi and several other men at the same time.

Randu stepped into his private room. As Randu closed the door, Tomi and all the men in the room rushed out to continue their search.

After enjoying a special dinner, Ranvier was directed into a room to rest.

" When did my clothes finish washing...?" ranvier asked before leaving the dining table.

" A little while. Now go to the room, take off your clothes. Let your clothes be washed and dried immediately. And you can wait there for a while while resting, "said Aria with a smile.

Ranvier nodded and followed a fat woman who led him into a room.

After cleaning himself and changing clothes, Ranvier lay on a large bed while observing the surroundings of the room.

" The place is nice, the atmosphere is warm and cozy. It was the same at Grandpa's house. Though both big and luxurious, but here everyone smiles warmly instead of being stiff and afraid like the people in Grandpa's house." murmured Ranvier.

Then Ranvier got up and stepped towards the window of the room. He opened the window curtain to see the conditions outside the house at that time.

" dark. Surely Grandpa is worried if he knows I'm not at home at this hour..," murmured Ranvier.

As if remembering the timepiece, Ranvier rushed to find his watch in the bag. He smiled when he saw his watch was among the piles of books in the bag.

" What time is it now. Strange, in a house as big as a palace but no wall clock is attached..," murmured Ranvier while observing the black watch closely.

A moment later Ranvier seemed to frown because he did not believe what he saw.

At that time Ranvier watches display days and times that should not be. The day Ranvier left for school was Wednesday, March 10, but the hour showed Monday, March 15. That means advancing a few days from the date it should be.

" Ck, time is broken anyway. Must have been because of dirty water earlier. Yes already, ask Grandpa to buyin a new one later..," grumbled Ranvier while putting the watch back in the bag.

Ranvier went back to bed and lay there. A moment later Ranvier closed his eyes. It seems Ranvier did not realize that he was in a different dimension at that time.
