Cika's Arrival


The threshing leaves are hit by strong winds in the backyard of the house as if welcoming Rani. After delivering Rani through Bara's magic hat, bubu back into the black mortal.


"Bara, I'm so worried about you!" rani Gumam.


Rani walked very limp strides towards the house, she continuously wiped the tears on her cheeks. He turned back and headed for Fortal. Rani's road stops right in front and re-think Bara.


"Rani, my God, where the hell is it? mom's been worrying all day" Alfa's screams startled Rani's daydreams.


Brother Alfa pulled Rani's hand into the house. A glass of warm chocolate milk and a plate of fried rice served on the dining table.


"Sit down, I told you before you left so as not to forget to serve this for you."


"Thank you, but where is my mom?"


"Mother and father went to pick up Cika at the airport" Alfa said.


"Hufffh.why don't you take Rani."


A small pinch landed on Rani's cheek, Rani's face pouted and glanced at Alfa's sister.


"Duh this time Rani will uncover a little secret!" said Rani insisted on eradicating her stance.


"What secret?" ask Alfa.


Rani approached and whispered something in Alfa's ear.


"If every time Tamsi approaches the older brother, it means Kaka is being approached by another creature. To be honest, you must have been bullied lately by the happy woman."


Alfa frowned, closed her ears with her hands tightly and went to the room.


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


Cika comes to the Rani family home with a myriad of mysteries. The scarring of the soft sheets carried a black mist.


"Rani!", Cika's smile hugged Rani tightly.


"Well, why don't you tell me?" ask Rani protest.


Cika misses a woman who loves her more than anything in the world. The departure of Aunt Ela is still a mystery. The fire at Grandma's house left them with a prolonged trauma during their lives. Rani and Cika sat together while looking at the people passing by. The duku tree that is getting higher through Rani's room adds to the shady atmosphere.


Tamsi approaches Rani, looking Cika's hair ribbon that is being bitten by her.


"Good cat give me back my ribbon!" cika's thin smile looked at the black cat and took the ribbon from Tamsi's bite.


"Rani.. May I adopt your cat?" cika asked with a smile looking at her with teary eyes.


"All mine you can take as long as not my handsome cat!" smile back to Cika.


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


At exactly 8pm they took a break and went back to telling stories on the bed.


"This yellow bamboo is already on fire" Cika said showing it to Rani.


"Which ghost did you throw?" ask Rani.


"I thought this thing was just your joke ! but after I got disturbed by the creature in white I threw this thing and..."


"You managed to burn it ?" cut Rani .


"Hahahh, ahahah", their laughter filled Rani's room .


"Miaw, Miaw" Tamsi comes out of Rani's room.


"Good night my pet cat!" cika stroked the head of tamsi.


Cika chases Tamsi out of Rani's room. Rani smiled broadly at Cika from behind the cool room door chasing after Tamsi who would not stop running.


"Keepin..."


Voice call from inside Rani's room .
