Not the Real World
Part 9

“You know him?” Rosie asked Herna.

“Oh, she's my room neighbor.” Liza answer for Herna's sniffling.

Herna just nodded in support of the answer. He looks like he's going to see what happens. For Adah who had spent time with Herna before, feeling surprised to see Herna as lost focus.

“Jomlah once with kitorang. Alang-alang, right?” Adah speaking. Herna looked at Adah who still looked cold. But, he shook his head.

“Maybe not because I have another plan to catch up again. Come here too because I want to find a book.” Herna turned to Rosie while holding up the book in her left hand.

“And I found the book I want.”

Rosie looked at the book before they turned the other eye. The lips of the magical girl engraved a small smile but Rosie was stunned. The freshness of the forest triggers the sense of smell. Adah and Liza looked at the two of them who were staring at each other with their ears. A new sensation they never felt began to control themselves. The throbbing caused them both to become aware of their imaginary world.

“I move first. Bye guys.” Herna had docked Rosie before circulating from there.

They were silent for a moment. Adah and Liza looked at each other, strange about what happened. Seeing the stifled Rosie watching Herna go, made her even more eyed.

“Rosie?”

“Huh?” Rosie looks at Adah. He was silent for a moment before he made a sound.

“What was that?”

“Tadi what?”

“Rosie, that tension.. Fuh.” She laughed and looked at her brother with full eyes.

“Ish, shut up..” The big brother pulled the chair in front of his sister and anchored his back while sighing. He finished himself and looked towards Liza who was busying himself with the book on the table.

“Kemain khusyuk.” Rosie tapped on Liza's book causing her to lose focus.

“Why, he wants to mess up.” Adah speaking. His brother complained again. The sister knew something was troubling her brother's mind. Especially after meeting with ‘helper’ for a while.

"Oh... Potang already have a new friend, I did not love eh?"

"Your brains."

Rosie made a squint to hurt her sister. He reached for the pencil next to her and threw it at her brother. Rosie's decent hand saved her from getting hit by the pencil and her sister's irritated laugh.

"Ala, I don't think I can either. What are you doing?"

"Just review what he missed before he got in here." Rosie nodded before looking at Liza.

"What university were you from before?" Ask Rosie.

"I homeschooled before this."

“Seriously?”

"Yes." Yeah."

Rosie turned to Adah, "Huish, her style is right.."

Liza raised her forehead while looking at the sister.

"Getting along with humans requires a lot of energy. You just want to expose me." Rosie widened her smile to reveal her gums.

"Haa right that is. After that, drop the room, read a book. Like I don't exist he makes near the house." Rosie pretended to cry while she wiped her unreal tears. He kicked his brother's leg from under the table.

"Oh." Responding to the brother while rubbing his feet.

Adah showed her small pounder and moved her mouth with the verse 'your face', only making her brother laugh bigger.

"Pound into that? Nawg." Said Liza.

No! It won't be either!!

Adah gave the pounder once to the Liza biceps. In fact, Adah's collision wasn't as painful as mana but she deliberately reacted more to attract the girl's attention. Seeing the brother and the new person he knew working together to harm him, Adah finally relented and then slipped the book in front of him. Liza did not stop smiling just by looking at Adah.

Rosie who was in front of them saw all their behavior. Adah's red face that held the shame was a sight that was rarely seen for her. The view is repeated between Adah and Liza. But seeing his brother so happy, made him happy too.

Days are gonna be different this year.

Liza put the lock of her room into the door button and then turned it along the clock to open the lock. When he pulled out the door button of his room, he was able to smell nearby. He waited for a while but the smell did not go away. So, he turned away.

"Sissues?" A familiar voice came from behind the wall.

"Sir Herna." Said Liza calmly.

Herna emerged from the wall next to the stairs. Their eyes are contradictory.

'Till here he's coming with us?'

Liza did not answer Tedi's question. He just looked at Herna, waiting for a reaction from her.

'Yes, Tedi. Not always, right?' 

Liza could see Herna's face engraving a smile. The two of them silently looked at him, more to their surprise. But Herna was just complaining.

"I don't have any threats to meet you. Why are you so wary?” Herna came near Liza.

“How is progress today?” Ask Herna again.

Liza who should have answered the question, just kept quiet. Not for fear of replying, but the senses were still able to detect there was someone other than the two of them there. He does not want to be rarely accused. In fact, he asked for certainty from Herna.

“Males can enter this building to, miss Herna?”

“Leaki? Wherever possible, this is a women's block. Men are forbidden to be in the perkarangan dormitory women.”

Liza thought for a moment and returned the door button of her room, “Jom, Ms. Herna. We talked close in.”

Herna knew something was going on, but she obeyed and went inside with Liza. Before closing the door, he had time to walk around. In the room, only Liza as a resident. Mrs Iris paid Liza's funding for first-class students. So he has a room for a. Liza invites Herna to sit in her study chair while she sits at the corner of her bed.

"What's going on?" Ask Herna

"There's a peek at us."

"Puak Sender Dewa?"

Liza was silent for a moment. Try to recall the smell of the creature. Liza shakes. Herna leaned back while thinking of something.

"They're still here?"

"No." Herna nodded.

“Okay, let's make it fast."

They continued to talk about their plan process to bring Adah back to the land of the Unseen Realm. Liza tried to focus throughout the conversation. His mind floated thinking of the man who had peeked at them earlier.

Why do I think I know this smell?

"If there is anything strange during this mission,” Herna stops at the door before starting the button.

“Tell.”

Herna did not turn her head and circulated from her room. Liza was just standing in the middle of her room watching the door close. As soon as the door of her room closed, she threw her body into the bed and let go of a long breath. Finally, he has his own time and space after socializing with the human race.

“Why are humans so extroverted?” Liza monologue.

Liza closed her eyes and entered into her mind. He explored his memories to fill the silence he had been enduring. He can imagine what will come out. His parents. He is willing to accept his emotional impact.

He is now at the dinner table with his mother and father, entertaining his dinner tastes while spending their time together. Liza could see her mother and father's engraved smiles. They look at their children with affection. Her tears flowed just by seeing the two of them before her.

“Why is sister crying?” About her father softly.

Liza smiles sayu, “Takde what. Sister just miss mom dad.”

“We're close here.” His father reached his hand. So too, his mother.

He clasped their hands tightly without saying anything. He knows what will happen after this.  The water is flowing faster. It was not until a moment when the sound of an explosion was heard from outside the palace and caused the entire palace building and earth to shake. Her mother and father hugged her anxiously but Liza just continued to cry earlier.

“What happened?!” Jerit dad.

An aide stormed into the dining hall, “Tuanku, our area was attacked!”

“What?!”

The father was surprised to hear the news. His father and mother passed out of the council but their hands were pulled by his son.

“Do not go.” His mother and father turned and hugged his son who was in fear.

“We have to go, sister. Brother has to hide. Siti will bring sister to our hideout.”

“But, sister taknak mother father leave sister. Don't go.”

Looking at their child who seduced such, they whistled to face his son. The mother rubbed her child's cheeks so that her heart felt a little calm. Liza closed her eyes to live out her mother's touch.

At that time, his mother said, “Adik, we all know we have to go.”

Liza opened her eyes and saw the eyes of her mother who looked at her without lacking her love. A sweet smile was thrown without a hint of palpitations. But that only made Liza sadder. The sound of an explosion once again rang out to remind them of their world.

“No!”

“Siti!” Jerit dad.

“I, Milord.”

“Bring him away. Take care of him like your life.” Aides get along.

“According to orders, Tuanku.”

“I'm not leaving! Daddy's! Mama! Don't leave sister!”

“Punish me, young master. I have no choice.”

He picked up the sitting Liza and pulled out of the dining hall at the other door. From his view, seeing his father's mother who was getting away from him made him no desire.

“Mother! Daddy's! No!!”

His eyes changed. No more having his body pulled. No more popping sounds. There was also no bright light from the dining hall that adorned his eyeballs. What we see now is dark. He looked down at his feet and around to confirm his whereabouts. He was now at the foot of the hill, far away from his area. In front of him there is nothing but a wilderness. But, there was a new sound heard from behind him.Just hearing that sound, he could guess what was happening.

“No... Cakap don't.”

Slowly, he turned back. What he saw made him fall. The view of the area and its palace is being mashed by the raging fire. From the top of the hill, the area is now seen as if the burning and burning embers of hell.

“Mother!! Dad!!!” He cried and roared, but his roar was heard only by himself.

The situation changed again. He is now alone on earth. Dark black around him. A moment from the situation did not disappear. His chest hurt due to his sobbing cry. His memory changes nothing. He still lives that memory non-stop almost every day. However, the slightest memory did not reverse his heart from the pain with what happened. He swallowed his own feelings like that of his basic food. Like other days, he continued to roar and cry alone in his mind.

“Do not cry, Liza.”

A pair of hands rubbed his left and right cheeks while raising his head up. His eyes refused to open even if he wanted to. The voice appeared again.

“Whatever happens, I stay with you.”

Liza is calm. Though his tears were still flowing, he was no longer sad. The presence of the voice strangely brought calm to him. He was finally able to open his own eyes. A pair of eyes lamented with emotions that he did not understand.

“Adah.”

They smile when their eyes are opposite. He humbled himself and sat down on the peha Liza. He hugged Liza's neck with his right hand and flicked their forehead while rubbing Liza's right cheek. Unknowingly, Liza also slid her hand against Adah's small waist, pulling the girl's body closer to her. Their chest meets.

“Wak is not alone. Remember that. All will be okey.” Said Adah softly like silk in her ear.

“Liza, remember me.” The verse is repeated.

Liza looked right into Adah's eyeballs causing her to scan all their memories together. Although a little, but the feelings that come are very different from his parents. After a moment of reflection, he got the answer he needed. Is smiling.

“Now, you have to wake up.” Adah's voice became an echo.

“Build, Liza.”

His voice became more and more vague. Finally, his eyes opened. He was now staring at the white ceiling of his room in a sweaty state. What was more surprising, he did not expect that his memory would be interfered with by Adah's presence. However, he brushed the question aside and focused on the answers he found.

“You man earlier, should I ever smell.”

‘Someone we know?’

“Not. The man is the boy who is after the period of the day.”

Without Liza's knowledge, Adah also awakens from her sleep due to the same dream. However, they have different reactions.

"What the fuk was that?*" The monologue half screamed.

The red face goes out with the action done in the dream. He covered his face with a pillow and screamed in embarrassment. Once satisfied, the pillow is removed from the face.

"Why do I dare to be so..?"

What was impossible for him to do was to reconnect his sleep. But he thought he was too busy to continue sleeping.

"Now, how am I supposed to deal with him?" He groans with annoyance.

Rosie gets out of the train and moves to her college block. As usual, he dropped his sister off before searching for parking. But strangely this time, his sister was just standing in the area she went down earlier, not continuing to move into her class. Rosie approached her sister.

"Something's happening? Why don't you keep moving?" Sister looks.

"I'm waiting for you.” Smile carved. However, his brother thought it was a strange thing.

"This is unusual."

"What is the unnatural? Come on jom!" Rosie's hand was pulled.

Woah, I rarely want to see him cheat. Well, another unusual thing to go.

He let his sister take him into the college building. However, his sister stopped suddenly before she could enter the building.

"Why stop?" Ask Rosie.

He looked at Adah who was looking at the gate of the building with a face of 1001 emotions. Unable to resist wondering, he also looked in the same direction. What was seen was Liza who was standing back and forth next to the long chair.

People fighting to?

Liza was able to admire their presence and turned her head towards the two of them. Just seeing the presence of the two of them managed to make Liza smile. He waved at Rosie and Liza who were across the street happily. Rosie welcomed her wave with the same energy. But Adah just looked down. Rosie squeezing.

"Hey, he's waving it. Reply." He looked at his sister whose face was already red.

Huish pehal's? Haa's worried..

Rosie refused her shoulder with her own shoulder and pulled her across the street, approaching Liza.

"Hi, gang." Liza greeted them with a sweet smile.

Rosie replied like always, kindly. But it was like not being with them. Even though his body was with them but his mind seemed to drift far away. He just shut up and bowed. Liza looked at the older sister to find answers but her older sister also did not know what was going on with her sister.

"Is it?" Liza touching Adah's arm causes her to be woken up from daydreaming.

Suddenly, Liza was able to smell the smell of jasmine coming from Adah. Their eyes were at odds for a moment. At that time, Liza got a lightning fast scan when contemplating into Adah's eyes. He seemed to be able to see the future of himself who was happy beside someone. They walk with their hands in the garden of sunflowers. The face of the 'someone' was still invisible so he turned towards her.

Is she?

"I'm okay."

They are still eyes-on. Rosie, who was on their side, saw that each situation was beginning to feel nauseous. He cleared his throat strongly to awaken the two of them from their own world. Their hands are out. It is appropriate to look elsewhere to remove awkwardness and shame from yourself.

"Seems nothing else to make, I motion class first ye. Are you clever ye? Hye!" Rosie left the two of them without pity.

"Is there anything going on?" Tanya Liza broke into silence.

"No." Adah answered fast while peeking at her watch.

In 15 minutes, the class will begin. Without a second thought, Liza's hand was pulled back and ran away from the room.

"Jom! We need to go now. Our lecturers love early start."

Liza had to follow the girl's string while running around. But he's not the story. Speed and stamina were not his problem. However, the smell of jasmine can still be smelled by him. Tedi doesn't like it.

'My key.'

'uh? Why?'

'She's bothering me.'

Liza did not keep her request. Instead, he seemed to want to ask more but the two of them had already reached their class. True Adah said, his class had started earlier than it should have. Surprisingly, their classes on that day were so full that their seats were not next to each other. However, Adah was still sitting close to him just not next to him.

The smell from Adah went into his nasal cavity nonstop. He had smelled a variety of smells before but this time it was very different. In fact, the smell makes Tedi and himself disturbed. Tedi even wants to control Liza and attack Adah for no reason. But, Liza deftly held him back.

'You know why?'

'For me to come out.'

Liza didn't say much and locked Tedi away so he couldn't get out. But he still has trouble focusing.

Why don't you tell me he's our soul, Tedi?

The class was long for both of them to continue. But none of them left the class to run. They just gave up. Their classroom door was knocked on causing all the students to look towards the door, as well as the two of them.

“I'm sorry, Dr. jefri.” A teary-eyed man, a white brown shirt, black-clad, emerged from the crack of the door.

“There is a student coming in. He's going to join Dr.'s class. Jefri from today.” Another man appeared from the door. Liza was surprised to see the man.

"Include yourself." Said Dr. Jefryn.

The new student nodded before looking at the other student. He silently looked towards the council like he was looking for something. His eyes stopped looking at Liza then flashed a sweet smile.

"Hi guys. I'm Zackary Zach, with C and Y. I am a new student from across. Hope we can go well together."

Zacky?! What's he doing near here?
