Between Two Different Realms
28. Followed by the Black Shadow

Now Arian goes and goes home from school in a white Avanza car given by papa. Every morning I went with Arian and did not forget we also picked up Aprili, sometimes I upset myself like a mosquito between them.

" Bang, I go first, yes" I said. Bang Arian nodded his head. I went straight to class, suddenly I was so clumsy, W-what the fuck, my inner self. I saw a black shadow figure with a burning red eyeball, then I sat on the bench concentrating on controlling my inner eye as Arian had taught me. He knows a lot about other realms because his late grandfather had taught him so much that Arian more easily controls his inner eye. Class still looks lonely only Azka who was there, I started to close my eyes and recite the spell turned out I managed to do it and I saw a world so dark, I saw, Ayu was there and there was a beautiful lake. In reality, it was so bad and the shadow in the corner of the class was there, he approached and kept coming closer and his hands sticking out would touch my hair I immediately shouted.

Bug ...!, the sound of my knee crashing at the table. " Aaauu ..," Shouting at the sight of so many hands on my feet, Azka immediately ran towards my desk thankfully the other students had not yet entered the classroom.

" Riska!, what's wrong with you?" azka asked as her hand held my shoulder. " Azka, a lot of hands on my feet. Help me, plis please pull me!, spit Azka ...." I thrashed around asking Azka for help. " His hand has reached the knee, quickly Azka ...." Azka who was still confused by my request immediately pulled my body out of the classroom. I finally got out of that hand, I sat down and was in complete shock. Azka who saw that immediately tried to calm me down.

" Azka, I'm afraid to go to class again, we'll wait for the others first huh," I told Azka.

" Why are you afraid?" Suddenly Mr. Anwar came to pick me up. " No, sir no papa" I tried to hide from Mr. Anwar.

" So, why are you afraid?, asked Mr. Anwar. " Em .., we were again afraid that we were late to class sir," Azka reasoned to switch the conversation. " Right sir," I'll make sure again.

Mr. Anwar shook his head after it passed from us to level two, we finally breathed a sigh of relief.

" Tuh guru was very troubling ...," muttered Azka. Without me noticing that the shadow was still following me wherever I went, I was very worried about the shadow.

By the time the bell went home from school was ringing, I hurriedly headed to the car parked in the outer courtyard of the school. After I entered the black shadow car continuously beating on the school gate, it seemed like he asked someone to open it even though the gate at that time was clearly still wide open for students to go home. Arian also got into the car after Aprili from behind, they were shocked to see me already in the car.

" How come it's so fast today, we usually wait for you?" arian.

" Hurry home, Bang!" My eyes still saw that black shadow.

" Ah, yes .., did you see that there was no shadow at the gate?" said Arian again. " Look, Bang that shadow once crossed the UKS at that time. Now that he's following me, why try?" My expression makes Aprili goosebumps. Shortly after, the car drove home. Arriving at home, I immediately entered the room and tried to test again how to control the inner eye. This time I did not see anything strange, but only Ayu who was there, but there were some thoughts there. Ayu said that if it's all the thoughts of the people closest to me, there are also from people who hate me. I felt the thoughts of Aunt Mira who was doing a strange ritual for someone else, this time Aunt Mira's goal was not for us, Mind Vino, it turns out she hated Arian very much. Suddenly my ritual broke with the sound of knocking on the door from the outside, it turns out that Arian who entered, there is a chance for me to say everything I experienced earlier in school.

Arian said that it was all spirits who wanted to ask me for help.

...---------------...

The break came, and all the students came out of their classes, except for Azka and me. The disturbance of the shadow was getting worse, so I walked slowly, the shadow would be fast, if I walked fast the shadow would be slow. It just so happened that Mr. Anwar was still in the classroom and looked at me, then he deliberately asked me to take a chair.

" Riska, please take an empty seat in the corner. You put a monitor in there!" Mr. Anwar's request made me swallow the saliva.

" How nih ..," I muttered as I got up from my seat. I walked slowly towards the corner, the shadow was ready to let out its many hands.

" Risk, don't be slow, time goes on!" firmly Mr. Anwar.

" I-Yes sir," My distance and the shadow stayed another 3 meters, it felt very heavy to step forward.

" Excuse me," There was a familiar voice on the doorstep of the classroom. I immediately looked towards the voice.

" Arian?, what are you doing here?" ask Mr. Anwar to the students standing in front of the classroom door.

" In this class is there such a thing as Riska Ariani?" asked Arian and I just walked up to him. " There is, I am" I said with relief.

" There is a need with Riska," asked Mr. Anwar. " The principal asked me to call Riska into the office space" Arian explained.

Finally we went through the corridor, it turned out that the shadow was still following me behind, I sped up.

" Why the road is fast" asked Arian. " Tuh, behind," I said. Arian looked back at the black shadow. " We stop first" said Arian to make me confused. " Why?, look at the shadow bang is getting closer," I protested to Arian. " Here you shut up, let Brother take care of you." The shadow came before us, and he stretched out his hand.

" Now that he's close, try holding one of his hands. But be careful, you can be taken to another realm," said Arian. I did what bang Arian said, it turned out that I managed to hold one of his hands and suddenly the shadow disappeared.

" do you know, Bang's missing?" my spoken. " Later you can test the inner eye at home, he comes again later, papa who told you brother last night. Come on, sneak into the principal's room, " said Arian who suddenly pulled my hand." Uh, I thought that this was Brother Boong when I was called to the office!," I said as I stepped half-run.
