Not the Real World
Sump. 2: Pick-up

A month ago...

The book's sheet is tucked into the face of the next letter. He sticks his chin and connects his reading. The situation of the library at the 3rd level was very comfortable and calm. The wind that enters each window fills each space of the floor, cool enough not to install air conditioners.

Adah who fervently read books does not relax the people who pass around him. The group of students were whispering and laughing slowly to his right but it still did not disturb his concentration. This is how he is when he is in his world. Everything sounds vague to him.

"HAA!!" Someone patted his shoulder while screaming.

"YES!!" Unintentionally, she screamed too.

The woman laughed aloud at Adah's lively reaction. He looked back at the woman behind him with a wrong face. Seeing him like that, made him laugh even more fiercely. He tried hard to hold his voice rather than get stronger.

"Rosey!" She hit her brother's arm with a half-screaming voice.

"Ouch, ouch. Okay, okay! I'm sorry!" Rosie quickly relented because she could not bear the blow of Adah who was timid.

He stopped hitting when he heard his friend complain in pain, "Haaa.. Facial. Surprise people again. Ish, growled right."

He looked around worried that the library supervisor would storm them and drive them out. As in a dream, fate is right next to them. Not only were the supervisors nowhere near them, even the other students were not around.

"Nature, I'm sorry." Rosie pulled the chair to the left of Adah and anchored her back.

"But you should have seen your face earlier." He laughed, recalling his sister's reaction five minutes ago.

Another hit to his arm. Kali, Adah did not dismiss the complaint of the curly-haired woman. Instead, he simply resumed his reading. Rosie looked at him her eyes were back on the book in her hand. He shifted the girl's hand from the face to the skin of the book and a picture of a white tiger was clearly plastered on his front face.

"Seriously, Adah? This book again? You have read this book 5 times. You're not bored of?"

"I'm okay je. If you like, however many times you can. Like you, naughty as well as I can still face because I love you." Adah threw the sweetest smile, melting Rosie's already soft heart.

All the students in the college knew how fierce and violent Rosie was but the title made no sense to Adah. Rosie always takes care of Adah no matter where she is. The nature of a brother to his sister immediately did not change despite how strange his sister was.

Their 11-month lifespan allowed them both to be within the same year. Although they are not in the same class, Rosie always chooses to be with Adah whenever she has some spare time. Many think they make love because they are too close and unlike the other siblings, they accentuate the nature of deep affection for each other. Allowing such, they immediately did not tell the contagious gossip about them and they were also lazy to explain it to them.

"The thing he likes so much about this guy seems to know."What a pleasure it is so much about in people tah Rosie put her head on the table but did not take her eyes off Adah..

"Why not?" She used her right hand to make her face point at Rosie.

"Well, we're going after a lot of things in elementary school. The kind of war between us, the first war. Near this college, there is ready to create additional classes for supernatural topics."

"And you believe that?" The verse makes Rosie against the eye with Adah who immediately does not show a feeling of surprise with her reaction

"You don't believe me?" Adah shakes.

“We were once as good as brothers, but separated only because the head of man used to not marry his son to the head of the Unseen Realm? That easy? I can't believe.” He threw his eyes out the window. The greenness of the forest gave him tranquility.

Rosie looked at her sister's face. What she said just a moment made her think. His feelings are mixed with various flavors. He corrected his position and turned his body towards the curly haired woman.

"May I ask?" He looked at his brother and nodded.

They were long-sighted before Rosie was able to put out a pent-up question, "If one day, I say nothing like 'Rosie', will you choose to move away from me to?"

He was silent at the woman's question. To be honest, the question was beyond expectations. To see Rosie as serious as that is also an oddity. Rosie's face also showed how much she expected an answer to the question.

He opened his mouth to answer, but no sound came out. Thus, he closed his mouth again and turned his gaze towards the books arranged on his desk. Rosie lowered her head, understanding what was going on. He sighed blankly but still chose to smile.

"No, I understand. So, no must-" A pair of hands held both of his cheeks and raised him to the face of Adah.

Their eyes are contradictory. His sister's eyes were like piercing deep into his heart. Not a single smile was etched onto his face.

She said slowly but strongly enough to Rosie, who heard, "When you change your nature, heart or mind, it still doesn't change the fact that you're upset with me. Nothing changes that thing."

All the bones in Rosie's body fell to the earth hearing Adah's words. Without her realizing it, her tears flowed down her cheeks and her little sister's thumb rubbed her cheeks, wiping her tears as well as calming her heart.

"But why do you answer slowly..?" Rosie's voice was half whispering. He was unable to avoid himself from thinking that his sister had only answered so to guard his heart.

"Oh, that. Just want to see your reaction. You should have seen your face." His forehead lifted and a sinus smile began to appear.

Rosie's eyes grew bigger and this time it was her turn to hit her sister.

"Gee! Unuse you. You're hurting me!" Adah did not seduce to stop but just laughed letting her brother settle.

After her sister stopped, Adah still smiled looking at her brother. Rosie's face still looks cute even throbbing. He only served his brother's indulgence.

"You're the fate that I love you." Rosie leaned her head against Adah's shoulder.

Just smile and keep reading.

"Weh, you're coming to my slapball practice later, right?" Ask Rosie. His sister shook her head.

"Why not?"

He turned his face to Rosie, "Your practice team. Why should I come?"

"Ala, bring me. Are we going to get out?" Rosie smiling goat.

"Yes we're going out but-"

Rosie's eye light was lost when Adah gave her an excuse not to go to her practice. Seeing the test disappear makes Adah go awry.

"Yes, yeah... I'll come along once." Finally, he gave up.

"YES!" Rosie screamed happily.

"Shhhhhhh!!" The voice from next to them sounded. A group of friends who were briefly back at their table again. So did the library supervisor and the other students around him who were looking at them, disturbed by Rosie's screams.

'Eh? Wasn't this place empty?'

"Sorry." Rosie half-screamed, only strong enough for them to hear.

Adah also nods while throwing a shy smile as a sign of forgiveness.

"Okay weh." She turned back towards her sister.

"My class is going to start. We'll meet padang later find out. Baba!" Rosie passed away.

Adah who at first smiled at her brother, now back to the emotionless mode. He looked around him, as if looking for an explanation of what happened. But everything seems normal.

"Maybe I feel." He continued his reading.

PAKKKK!

As usual, Rosie ended the round with a solid regime that was impossible to be welcomed by her opponent. The audience celebrated their victory. Although it is only training, the stingy match grabs the attention of the passer-by. Or, maybe they just stopped because of Rosie's existence.

His group members patted his shoulders and cheered for the victory. They were so grateful that they were in a group with Rosie. No one can face Rosie's reply. But, to Rosie, she doesn't care about it all. He only came to practice just to fulfill his co-curricular will. Follow her heart, she might have been at the buying center with her sister by now.

At that moment, he finally reminded of his sister. She searches for her sister's involvement in the cheering audience, but is instantly invisible.

"You angry at the guy?" Rosie turned towards the voice behind her.

Her etched smile made Rosie also smile, forgetting the question posed.

"I'm so crazy about you hitting that ball." Adah was amused to see the ripples of the other party's face for a moment.

"Good, early." Rosie runs the child towards Adah.

"I remember you didn't come."

"There's a ja near there." He pointed to the chair he had been sitting in at the end of the arena opposite to the other spectators.

"No, I'm sitting there. Rimas me." Rosie, who knows Adah doesn't like noise, just wavers at the explanation.

It was heading towards a full audience. There are busy pictures to be loaded into the Instagram application. There is also something like there is no tomorrow. There are also those who play ball propellers with players who played briefly earlier. There were also whispering while looking towards the two of them, as if saying about them.

In the noise, Adah is seen a woman who is one-sided and dressed in a pack; dressed in white and clad in black slacks, sitting alone among them. Their eyes are contradictory. The girl's eyes were so sharp that they caused her fur to stand upright. He looked at the people around him as if he did not see the presence of the woman.

'I'm the only one who saw him?'

The woman nodded and then made a sweet smile. Adah was surprised to see the woman react but her smile made her heart calm for no reason. But still undeniably, the woman's eyes still looked at her like a piercing needle.

"Is it?" His arm was touched, causing him to be conscious of his daydream.

She looked at her brother who clearly looked worried.

"H-huh?" His voice falters.

"You okay? You were kind of dodging earlier."

His eyes were turning towards the woman. But the seat was empty. The woman's involvement is also invisible. Rosie looked over at the place as well. All they saw was a group of students laughing while taking pictures.

"I'm okay. I'm just wondering because before I got here, I slept for a while near the library." He replied to Rosie's question while smiling wryly to confirm her explanation.

"Oh, if that's the case, we'll go out next time." Reply Rosie. She was surprised by Rosie's response.

"Eh, there's no need. I'm okay, slit."

"Takpas. We're back, rest. Next time we go twice as often." Rosie laughed at her own words.

"Accidentally, I was a little tired of practicing earlier. So, it's also good to go back to rest." He just nodded.

"Jom bali"

"Wow, Adah. You came at last." He was silent hearing that voice.

‘Do not…. Why is he coming now?’

"Hi Coach." Adah turned to face the man while throwing out the most sincere smile she had ever shared.

Rosie who saw the situation was also surprised to see it.

"You came to practice earlier?" Adah shook her head.

"I'm Rosie's friend je."

"You refer?" His 45-year-old eyes turned to look at his brother.

Rosie just smiled.

"Finally. Alang-alang is here, if you want to join our team? We still have emptiness."

'He didn't give up right, eh?'

He still keeps his smile. In fact, he was also surprised he could smile during and seleber it. Not that he answered the question but he looked at his watch.

"Alamak Coach, get moving first. Kitoang has something to prepare. See you soon, Coach." He pulled his brother's hand and circulated quickly from the Coach's sight.

"And about that, I didn't think much. Yeeee!" His screams while running.

They're lost from sight.

The clock is 2.37am. The residence of Mr. Roman has been dark and silent, indicating that all its residents have also rested and lena in their respective beds. But Adah, who was accompanied by the light of her desk lamp, was still at her desk, reviewing lessons for the class tomorrow.

Honestly, reviewing lessons at night is not a craft for him. He's more to sleep than stay up all night. For some reason, the older he reaches adulthood, sleeping madi a challenge for him. Not because it was disturbed but the feeling to sleep was gone. To a degree, he felt he was more alive when night fell. Therefore, he was here - filling his spare time.

Sitting for long periods makes his neck tired. He leaned behind him into the chair and massaged his right nape up to his shoulder. He closed his eyes while releasing a sigh of relief. At that moment, he felt lost in his own sequence and began to feel as if he was asleep for a moment.

'A little more, I can sleep~'

He smiled happily at his drowsiness. His shoulders were still massaged to encourage more of the feeling to come.

Nah!

His head quickly turned towards his room window. The sound woke up from the dream world just now. He kept his eyes high. His curtains that covered his window prevented him from seeing what was outside even he had no desire to interrupt it.

Nah!

It sounded again. The sound was as if the window was tapped or something smooth was competing with the surface of the glass window. Guided by the moonlight that illuminated towards his window, he tried to observe any reflected shadows but nothing.

Open window.

This time, the fur of the romance bristles. He began to regret making the choice to stay awake that night. He should have slept in a dream. He should take the sleeping pills that he bought for the duration of the day.

Don't worry. Like the evening of the day, I did not carry any threat.

He was silent for a moment. He tried to recall the events of the day. The smiling face of the cross-legged woman looking sharply at him after the slap ball training appeared in her mind.

I'm downstairs, waiting.

He's still in his seat. But his heart had a burning feeling of obeying the woman said. Like being stunned, he moved slowly towards the window. The curtains were slashed a little - just enough for one eye to look out. It is true, the woman was standing in the middle of her yard and was actually facing the window of her room. His room on the second floor was probably too high for him to climb. The woman flashed her smile towards the window, as if knowing Adah was meddling with her.

Adah closed the curtains and leaned against the wall. The breath is not a snob. He was honestly stuck with what happened. He rushed to his study table to close the lights and ran straight to his bed and sobbed. He closed his eyes and expected the woman to leave. He tried to calm himself.

After a few minutes, the situation calmed down. No more knocking sounds were heard. The voice of the woman who often penetrated into his mind had also been silent. Hesitatingly, he slid his blanket away bit by bit. His eyes looked around to make sure nothing happened. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's hard to sleep like that." He rubbed the sweat that soaked his forehead.

"Why difficult?" A sudden sound on the left side of the bed made him turn away.

AHHHHHH!!!

Both of them screamed with all their hearts out of surprise and fear. But the woman jumped into bed and pressed Adah's mouth shut. He held back the back of his head so that his stature would not come off. I was struggling to escape from that fight. He doesn't know to do anything. He just hopes someone in the house will invade his room without the sound of his screams earlier. But no one showed up.

"Okay. Don't scream. Fate made the wall. Otherwise, everyone will hear." Adah's eyes widened.

What wall pulakk?

Waking from that instant reverie, he turned down the woman's body and jumped from the bed in the opposite direction. The baseball log inside his almaria was reached and he swung the wood to his right shoulder like a player willing to accept the ball from the opponent's sight.

"Not close. I'll hit you." He tried to panic himself.

The woman rubbed her aching back after receiving the blow. Seeing that, he said nothing just trying to stand up.

"What are you afraid of? I appear in the form of a human tau!" He pointed at her body as if showing her the clothes she was wearing.

"Man cannot suddenly disappear, suddenly appear!" Adah said while screaming.

"Oh, that's right." Raising his head that is not itchy.

"What are you doing near here? You were downstairs, now you're up. What do you want from me?" Half a scream.

"Er..."

The woman was wrong. He didn't mean to scare Adah. He could do nothing but introduce himself in a good way.

"Let me introduce myself. Her name was Herna Zakry. I was commissioned by Grand Master to present his invitation to Ms."

They look at each other. When Herna just smiled sweetly at him, Adah just remained stiff with a wrinkled face and a mouth open.

"HUH?!!!" He looked at her amazed.

Honestly, there was not a single word he understood.
