“Huh!” She looked at him dumbstruck, only nodding in silence.
“Cik Adah?” It was clearly visible on his face.
“Kejap, I don't understand. What invitation is this? Nights like this you come to ambush solely ‘nak for an invitation from Puan Besar’ you. And again one, who's your Big Lady? Eii I'm gonna knock on his head.” His face was red and held in anger.
“Eh actually, my lady didn't tell me to come right now. I'm the one who chose to come time now.” Herna scratched her non-itchy neck.
He looked hard at Herna.
Your fate is far away. If not, I hit him with this baseball wood.
“I came here just to give an invitation to Puan Besar ceremony which will be held again two days later. I just came here to send you an invitation, sister Adah. No other reason.” He lowered his head as if he was prepared to accept punishment.
Adah took down the baseball wood from her shoulder and tried to calm her mind.
‘Nak angry also kind of useless, right? Although in this heart feel like hitting him until satisfied.’
He took a deep breath while kneading his forehead.
“Okay, try explaining near me. Who is your mistress and what council do you mean.”
His head is still down, “To be honest, Puan directed me not to tell him anything. The lady chose to tell her own to Ms. Adah. The only information you can tell cik is..”.
“Invitation of his mother's old friend.” said Big Lady Iris while sipping her drink from a wine cup.
Hernia hesitating, “How about she ask a question I can't answer?”
Iris looked at her maid with a smile, “This is the first time you have disputed your assignment, Herna”
Herna submission.
“Old friend mom?” The woman nodded.
“Cik Adah's presence is considered important in our event. I hope you can consider. And, I hope also our meeting can be kept secret.”
Adah's heart became unsettled when he heard the words ‘raksia’.
“Why anyway? You can be a kidnapper coming from the other side just for my manipulation to follow you back to your world.” Breath becomes fast.
Herna looked at Adah, “Honestly, I was just making my work. Miss Adah can refuse if she wants. No compulsion.”
“Listen here, Miss Herna. Try to tell me one reason, one reason why I got to accept ‘undangan’ you.”
Herna was silent for a while before entering in a slow voice, “There is a special answer. But, we may have an answer for each sign Adah asked about us.”
Adah remained silent. He was also secretly surprised by the girl's answer. He did not expect his mind to be read. In this situation, Adah becomes divided. He doesn't know what he should do. His brain is like a rusty machine that can't move. He can't think.
“Erghh!” He threw his body on the bed, ignoring Herna who was standing there.
‘Who is this guy? What invitation do you mean? If it's true, in the old sahabt mother, why can't you tell someone else? Who am I referring to? Should I tell Rosie about this thing? Perceptibly. If this slave can be lost, it means he is not human, right?’
He took his wand and looked at Herna. Herna looked at him too.
“I mean, you...not human, right?” Herna nodded.
Adah chipped and threw her body back into bed, “AHHHHHHHHHH”, just to express her heart.
Herna was worried to see Adah behave like that, “Cik Adah?”
“Out!” Jerit Adah.
Herna was silent, not even moving.
Let's re-stick her body, “I said come out!!”
Herna jerks. He answered nothing. He just nodded and ‘puff’ was gone from Adah's point of view. He threw his body once more into the bed and tried to organize all the information he received. But, failed. The more he tried to understand the situation, the more fibrous his mind became.
“Dah! I'm gonna go to bed. Random.” His eyes closed, forcing himself to sail into dreamland.

“So this deep-sea water cycle is called ‘Conveyor Belt’.” His lecturer, Lina Razak, explains the topic of today's lesson.
However, Adah's mind drifted out of nowhere. He looked at the white board in front of the class but not a single memory was included in his brain. Without him realizing, time passed quickly.
“Adah?” His shoulder was patted, causing him to be scattered from the reverie.
“Class is up.” The girl smiled.
He looked around at his nearly empty class, “Oh.”
“Thank you, Intan.” He returned the girl's smile.
The girl asked herself while pointing at the exit. Apparently, what was appointed was Rosie who was leaning against the wall outside her class, waiting for her sister while reading a book. Just seeing Rosie made her heart happy. He packed his things and moved swiftly towards Rosie.
“Hi you there.” Reach out with a sweet smile.
Rosie raised her face to see Adah, “Hai is also you there.”
Laughing at his brother's reply.
“His craft is waiting. Not class to?”
“Tough class. So, jom shopping?” His smile was not lost.
“Eh, training test?” Adah wonder.
Hearing the question also made him wonder.
“Turns, Friday. I'm where there's Friday practice.”
“Oh yes.” His voice came out as if whispering.
“You're sleepy to?” Rosie asked as usual.
Adah sighed heavily, “I had a nightmare last night.”
‘The creature should thank me very closely because I still choose to keep secrets in person.’
“Eh? Okay, this is another. Since when?”
“Night new je. I'm awake, I can't go to sleep immediately after that.” He started walking out of his lecture room.
“Hm, let it tickle. Dreams are sleeping toys. If you can find an answer, takpe also thought.” Rosie tries to follow Adah's steps.
“That's it, when you find the answer.” His eyes looked at the book that was in his arms.
The title of the book's skin was filled with him, making him think deeper.
White Tiger.
The book's skin was rubbed. His heart suddenly became fast. Excited, she felt like she had met the answer to all her questions. He looked at Rosie who was at home talking even though he did not hear a single haram.
But, we may have an answer for every sign Adah asked about us.
He pulled his brother's hand. Rosie is surprised by Adah's reaction causing their steps to stop in the middle of the elephant's descent.
“Why, Adah?” The brother in error.
She hugged Rosie without even bothering. The people around him had already started whispering to each other, perhaps swearing about them.
“You sit down at the train first. Later I come.” , let go of his embrace.
“Where do you want to go?”
“I want to see a catch-up friend. I want to talk about our study. I suddenly got an idea.” He said he ran away leaving Rosie alone.
Rosie scratched her head, still confused by what happened.
“So much into her dreams until she's moody to such a thing?” He let out a heavy breath like the weight of his nervous load.
He looked around him. People still talk about him. However, they eventually circulate after an eye-contact with Rosie.
Man, work wants to say it.
He left the area and headed to his train.
He ran all the way to Rosie's training ground. He looked around the slapball court was empty as the class was still going on. But, a woman who sits alone at the right end of the ring. Without seeing the face of that person, he already knew who that person was. He approached the woman.
“You're still waiting for me to accept your invitation, right?” The woman's face was clearly with shocked ripples.
“Cik Adah!” He stood looking at Adah in front of him.
“Betul , right?”
“Yes, Miss Adah. Right.” Herna was still shocked by his presence.
Adah breathes while hugging, “I'll go. Instead, I have to take care of you as long as I'm near there. I'm not like korang.”
Herna's face was a little calm, honestly she did not think Adah would answer yes. He thought he would come back next year to pick her up again.
“Bby?” Ask again.
Herna smiled, “Everything will be dealt with, Ms. Adah.”
“Okey,” They stay after that, eyes out without saying anything.
Herna felt awkwardness in her heart and spoke without thinking long, “Get tomorrow.”
Adah nodded and passed away, leaving the woman alone. He only saw the young girl pass away. He was finally able to rest in peace without thinking about his assignment again.
“Puan right. As in the prophecy of Mama. He will be back.”
Herna smiled to herself.

“We do have to move night time also to?” Ask Adah who has started to feel irritated by the situation, immersing herself into the passenger seat at the back.
Herna who was next to the front passenger seat was only able to answer, “Cik Adah there is a reason to tell the family of Ms Adah to come out?”
“What's the difference with missing suddenly? Silence becomes police case.”
“Cik Adah just thought to ?”
He was silent for a moment. After the question was addressed, he began to realize that he had made a decision without thinking about the consequences of his actions.
‘Why don't I think about that? Die if you wake up and look I'm not in bed.’
Adah covered her face with both her hands while roaring internally. Herna looked at Adah's behavior from the side mirror, only sighing heavily.
“Don't worry, it's all done.”
Have a look at it from the side mirror, “You know what?”
Unbeknownst to Adah, he had installed a device on the wall in the middle of his house. The tool serves as a tool to forget someone we want. It was like a jewel and gave off an aura that one could forget. Anyone who is under the influence of the aura, will give the effect of forgetting someone who the owner wants. The tool is very common in his circles.
“Not to worry, miss Adah.” I could see Herna's slightly smiling face.
He threw his eyes out of the limo window. With what happened, he had no choice but to trust Herna. From his observation, the path they were going through now was indeed the road to get to their border. Adah ignored the worry in her heart and looked at the driver's mirror. The driver in black glasses caused him not to know whether they were looking at each other or not.
“It looks to him using a black eye spec night-night like this?” He made his mark without thinking.
“He knows, Miss Adah. But, I recommend he is more beautiful with glasses or Adah's own sister is not able to see it.” The answer turned that question off. To be honest, the statement made Adah not want to ask more.
In front of him lay for him an endless wilderness. According to what he was rather, they would enter into the forest. As they approached the forest, he could feel the fur of his romance standing up. The aura around the forest was very unfriendly. From a distance already know, it is not an area to walk or have fun. Once again, Adah disputes her idea of following them into place.
I don't think this is a good idea.
He swallowed the saliva that started flooding his mouth. He was afraid but he kept his eyes wide open. He did not want to miss even one of the natural wonders that he would have in a moment. Up at the entrance gate into the forest, he looked like a wall of lutsenar that existed and they were heading towards the wall.
“We will be breached! Slow train!” It was Adah's screams that saw each of those events.
However, Herna and the driver just kept quiet and continued the journey like nothing.
“Hey, didn't hear to?” He reached the driver's hand. But still silent.
Don't tell him people want to kill me this way!
Seeing that nothing was done by them, Adah looked for a door button for her to slack off. He touched every corner of the door but not a button was found.
No!!
He looked at the side door, did the same thing and found the same answer. Finally, he stood still and leaned back. He closed his eyes and was ready to accept the impact. But the longer he closed his eyes, the more nothing happened. He's starting to feel weird
“Cik Adah can already open eyes now.” The eyes opened without a bit.
He looked around him. Nothing is different. He turned his gaze to Herna, hoping that she would give an explanation of what had happened. But Herna just looked ahead, as if nothing had happened. Adah was confused.
What the hell is going on?
In that state of confusion, he was seen a building that was the size of a palace. Eyes silenced.
“Astana near the middle of the forest? Why haven't I seen him before?” The palace looks so grand to ignore.
Herna and the guide looked at each other. In the back, the two of them exchanged looks.
“Why?” They both ignored him and kept looking ahead.
“Weh? Wh why? Say a word? Be quiet why?” It's beginning to lose patience.
“Sabar, miss Adah we will be up to a second again.” He threw his body back into his seat.
Why do you accept people's invitations, Adah? Haa take responsibility for you.
Finally, he chose to continue to remain silent and look out the window. Without him realizing, he had entered the ‘istana’ entrance gate that he had seen for a while. The train stopped right in front of the entrance of the building. Herna got out of the car body and opened the car door in the Adah section. I hesitated to get out.
“Sik Adah, will not be finished all if you remain in the car ni.” Herna stuck her head in the car.
I give up and get out of the car. This time, clearly in front of his eyes the beautiful ‘istana’ building.
“Woah..” He cannot hide his admiration.
Herna just smiled seeing the reaction from him. His eyes looked around the building, looking at every pattern. The moonlight that shone was bright enough for him to see every detail engraved on the face of the wall. The size of the premise is as large as a palace but the brown marble walls and black entrance are large enough to allow a giant and make him feel the house is inhabited only by the rich, not the Royal. His eyes were fixed on the line of women who seemed to be waiting for them to come home. He looked at Herna.
“Please, sister Adah. My helper will show you the way to Ms. Adah.” Herna motioned to one of her aides.
Did you see the maid approach her and then look at Herna, “Then, you? Don't leave me weh.”
“I have things to prepare. I will come to cik Adah after everything is done.” Herna convinced Adah.
Adah did not let go of her reflection, looking for the rest of the deception inside the corner of her eye. After making sure Herna's verse was not deceived, he finally relented and passed away with the maid. Herna was just watching.
“He saw our building as soon as we entered the border.” The driver who had been silent had finally made a sound next to Herna.
“He even saw our border wall. Ordinary people won't see all that.”
He replied in a slow tone, “You think you sent me to go to the human realm, endangering myself to it, just to invite an ordinary person?”
Herna averted her eyes, staring intently at the guide's glasses. The nape of the man's nape fur stood up. As a result of being too afraid of Herna's aura, she lowered her head. Herna, without saying anything, passed away leaving the guide standing still.
~
Herna's maid took her to a room and stopped their steps. The door was opened and they entered the room. All he saw was a luxurious bedroom complete with wooden furniture. He looked at every corner of the room with admiration.
“Mr Iris want to see you near here?” Adah could not avoid the strange feeling why she was taken to the room.
The maid saw Adah as if she had no feelings, “This is the guest room. For Ms. Adah to sleep.”
That verse surprised him.
“Sleep? But I don't spend the night near here. I can't sleep here.”
“I was told Ms. Adah would be with us throughout the ceremony. Therefore, we provide a bed for Ms. Adah.”
I was amazed to hear that statement. He slowly asked the maid, “How long has the ceremony been going on?”
“3 Days.” Her eyes widened.
“HERNA!” Her screams were as loud as possible, loud enough for Herna to hear from the next room.
