“So, you've returned to the country you were born in?” A black-robed man spoke right in front of Adah's face.
“Huh?”
“I heard about your return here got me interested. Especially, about the power you have.” He is unable to say anything. His mouth was locked for him to speak. In fact, his entire body was also stiff can not move even if it is accurate.
The power he meant?
“You don't deserve the power you have now. You're just a disgusted weakling. In fact, it is also not feasible to tread the land of the earth supernatural nature.” The man brought his face closer to Adah. He said that whispering was enough for anyone to hear.
He looked into Adah's eyes like they were piercing right into his heart. Suddenly, his chest hurt like a knife. His breath was also stifled. Adah's mouth was open, expecting air to enter her plate. But, not a single moment can get through the trachea. His eyes looked at the man, pleading for help.
‘Please me.’
Adah is only able to seduce in the heart. But instead, the man just smiled. As if knowing what happened was something he wanted. Not deceiving, Adah was completely shocked by the man's reaction.
‘Who are you? Are you the son of me?!’
Although the scream was only in the heart, but the scream made Adah more tortured. The man's smile that widened made his romantic fur stand up. But no jawpan is given. Time is getting worse. The loss of oxygen made his chest like it was about to break. The heart just like it wanted to explode. His head also began to grow. The man stood majestically looking down on Adah who had been tormented.
“This warning. Expected to be the last.” The man looked down. He closed his eyes, ready to accept what was going to happen.
“Don't come again to my world.” The man's whisper in his right ear.
Suddenly, the air rushed into his plate. Breathing fast. His eyes were stifled looking around. The man disappeared from sight. He took a deep breath to calm himself. Slowly, he found the calm he sought. His breathing also recovered. He looked around again. One heavy thread is released.
“Dream again.” He said after identifying her whereabouts he was in his own room.
He threw his body into the bed. There was nothing he wanted to complain about. This incident like that often happens to make him ala can be regular. Accompanied only by the sound of clutches on that silent night, Adah stayed awake all night while contemplating her ceiling.

A gentle breeze blowing her cheeks made her fall asleep at her study table. The silence of the library also made her more sleepy. A few sleepless nights can interfere with daily concentration. A few minutes into his sleepy feeling, he finally had his head on the table. Herna who was sitting in front of her new chairman only saw Adah Lena's face was cradled in a dream.
“Why is it so hard to face this mission?” He let out a heavy breath.
For over a month he was an observer. He wanted to plan his movements to be more friendly. Since Adah already knew who she was, she needed to make Adah more comfortable with her. However, recognizing himself as an odd person makes him take the time to process the mission given. There may be a reason why Mrs Iris chose the way ‘persuaded’ to approach Adah again. From his place, he could see Rosie at his front desk sitting back to them while wasting her time reading books while waiting for the next table to arrive.
“Many loved my master. Why do you need to be alone?” herna said in sympathy.
A group of students loudly heard Adah causing her to jerk from her sleep. Then, Herna created a wall of shade for the two of them but her actions passed by a few moments. They are awake and they are against the eye.
“Do you make near here?” Adah's voice was strong enough to attract the attention of others. But the walls of Herna saved them.
Herna corrected her position, “I just came to visit, ms. Adah.”
“Sleeping people is not part of visiting.”
Adah's resolute voice made Herna bow. He was somewhat surprised by the change in personality of his chairman. Little by little the charisma of a leader appears within.
“I'm sorry, miss Adah.” He breathed a long sigh when he saw Herna getting along.
“Iris ask you to come here?” His voice returned soft. Herna remained silent.
“I won't be back. Says it's near him.” Answer without question.
“Cik Adah, for us the opportunity to explain everything. Doesn't Ms Adah want to find answers to all of Ms Adah's questions? About Ms Adah?”
“She's not my mother!” Answer, half screaming. Then, he cleared his throat while correcting his posture. He was surprised by his own reaction. He shook his head.
Herna died what sense to talk about so as not to offend her chairman. At this time, all topics seem sensitive. Herna finally settled down and leaned back into the chair. He saw a book that caught his attention.
White tiger?
He pondered for a long time the book while giving him the thought to persuade Adah.
“Back, Herna. You coming here will just waste your time. Nothing I want near there.” He reached his textbook.
“Cik actually still wants to find answers about us all, right?” It stopped for a moment. He looked up at Herna.
“What do you mean?”
“Our history that Ms. Adah learned so far is not right. Only we keep the original history. If you come back to our country, we can explain a lot. How the sister of Adah is supposed to be tabled, what happens between man and the supernatural. Even sister Adah can learn, maybe about someone.” Herna re-examining the book.
“Someone who is younger sister is eager to recognize her.”
Hearing these words from Herna, made him pensive for a moment. Now, his turn is to look at his favorite book. His mind scanned back as his hand touched the face of the white tiger that snored for a period of days. Just reminding the blue-eyed beast alone had made his heart calm.
“We can arrange everything..” Herna paused for a moment before continuing her verse.
“..My lord.” He tried his luck.
He looked straight towards Herna. Brow wrinkled. He could feel something rising up inside him. He's bowing in pain. Herna saw the change was aware of the mistake she had made.
“I don't like that call.” Voice whispers. However, his terrible whispers caused Herna's Roman feathers to stand. Wake up from his chair. Herna was unable to move her body.
The aura is too strong to be felt by humans outside the walls. They seemed to be searching for what was bothering them but once again the wall of the shade saved them both. However, Adah's aura weakens Herna's power.
“I told you, don't call me my lord.”
Herna's body is stiff. He tried to look up to Adah. Although it was difficult, he still tried. When he managed to look at Adah, the chairman was ready to look down on him.
Adah's eyes turned red. His reflection numbed his breath so much that he felt himself as if strangled. The ripples of Adah's face did not change the least when she saw such a maid. His emotions and eyes were still cold.
“If you don't want to go home, I will make you go home myself.” The voice is cold. Himself as if she was being pushed.
Herna could do nothing. There was not a single movement that could be done at that time, as if locked every step so as not to move. Her tears flowed with the pain of her breath being held back.
“Don't come with me. Flip.” He said it was like an order. He gathered his things and left.
“Tu.an..ku...” Herna forced her voice out.
Adah's steps stopped. The feeling he felt was increasingly unstoppable. The words seemed to awaken something within him. His control over his own body was really at the end.
“Tu.an..ku..” His servant's woo is like a life at the end of a horn.
“DO NOT CALL ME MY LORD!”
The wall of Herna's creation finally broke when it received a wave coming out of Adah's body. Herna was thrown into the wall behind her, even her breath was blocked now lost restriction. The air of the dolphin goes into its empty pipes. Although the atmosphere briefly caused chaos, the atmosphere in the library was strangely calm. The wall was able to absorb all the sounds that happened earlier.
And fall to the earth. What he was facing earlier was like too strong for him to accommodate. This is the first time for both of them. Herna who recovered saw Adah's body lying on the floor. Without wasting any time, he ran to his chairman.
“Cik Adah!” This time, he attracted a lot of attention. He lifted his body into his lap.
“Cik Adah! Wake up, sister Adah!” His cheeks were slapped softly, hoping that way would make his chairman aware.
“Adah!” Someone screamed from behind him. He had not yet turned his head, that person had been next to him.
Miss Rosie!
Rosie reaches her sister from Herna's lap and takes her into her arms, “What happened?”
Herna did not know what to answer. So he deceived her so that her identity would not be revealed.
“I don't know. He fainted suddenly.”
Rosie's facial ripples seemed to want to cry but she managed to hold it in and support her sister from behind.
“Nak to where?” Herna was worried.
“Health center, crazy! Where else?” His screams as he moved out of the library, ignoring the eyes that were looking and the mouth that was spying.
Herna who was amazed finally followed Rosie from behind.
~
In the waiting area of the University Health Center.
They both sat together . considering when it was still in the time of the study session, only the two of them were in the room. There are plenty of seats they can choose from.
The clock is 3.15pm. Rosie could only sigh heavily when she saw the clock. For the first time in history, Rosie's name was not in the class.
“Class to?”
“Huh?” Rosie turned towards Herna who was on her right. He was a bit surprised when Herna tried to chat with him.
“Awak complains of watch time. I just tek je. Sorry to disturb.” Herna lowered her head while calming herself with her mother's finger. Rosie sees herself still in a tremble.
Alahai, he is polite very sharp to my manned.
“Haa.. Betollah. I never scowl. So, it's a bit awkward.”
Okay, a verse like a bookworm.
He patted the forehead inside his mind. But Herna said nothing. He just nodded slowly.
“I too.” Herna looked at the wall clock.
Herna cheated again. He tried to appear like other ordinary humans to associate himself with the world in order to hide his identity. Rosie realized the woman was also a student there and then she was wrong for taking her time.
“Wak if you want to go to class, you can. I can friend Adah.”
At the rate Herna replied, “Eh, takpe! I can wait.”
Rosie was silent for a moment.
“Well if it's like that.”
Rosie leaned her back against the chair. He felt something strange about the girl. Even know why, he can avoid the freshness of the forest since the woman appeared. Not wanting to be a weirdo, therefore he simply looked at the door of the doctor's room in front of him and lived the soothing smell. Without her realizing it, the woman had also fallen asleep next door. A man in white came out of the emergency room door to call out the name of the caretaker or patient-friend and the name Adah was called.
“I.” Rosie's screams, herna's from lena.
Rosie left Herna beleaguered what was happening in her chair. He doesn't want to wait anymore. Rosie ran towards the man.
“Such about Aa-Adah? He almost called Adah as his sister.
“Before that, may I know, recently, he had a night sleep problem or overwork?” Ask the guy.
Rosie thought for a moment. Honestly, he has no answer for that. Ever since they broke off communication, she barely knew how her sister's routine and activities were.
“Cik Rosie.” Herna gently touches Rosie's arm, making her aware of the daydream.
“Oh ye's. As I recall, he slept early most often. At 10:30 pm, he must be in the room to sleep.” Rosie tries to remind her of the most recent information she can remember.
The doctor simply nodded while noting something in the file in his hand. Then, he closed the file and gave a heavy breath.
Make kot referrals.
“Adah is aware. You both go in and look at him. You can also bring him back if he can. If possible, avoid or reduce for him stress.” They both nodded.
The doctor asked for himself and left them both. Rosie turned her body towards Herna and found the girl diligently looking at her.
“Sorry?” Tegur Rosie's. Herna knew what she was doing.
“I'm sorry!” The answer, not necessarily the direction and start the step to the room Adah.
“You know my name?” Rosie took Herna.
Herna looked a little slowly, as if thinking of a proper answer before answering the question. Avoiding the situation becoming more suspicious, he answered succinctly.
“Who does not know Ms Rosie and Ms Adah?” Herna just smiles.
“Oh...” He removed his hand from Herna. He forgot his status and his sister at the university.
I didn't expect us to be the big story near here.
“Can we meet Cik Adah?” Rosie scratched her head wrongly with the call she received. The formal call clearly made her uncomfortable.
“Before it.” He held the woman down again.
“Can you not call me too formal?” he punched the word ‘too’ showed how polite the woman was.
“I'm nothing, that kind of call, make me uncomfortable. I don't think it's even Adah for you to call her that. Really no?” Herna was silent for a moment before nodding.
“Mantap! We start over? My name is Rosie Mikael.”
Rosie did not hesitate to stretch out her hands to shake hands. Herna too as unusual with ‘became normal’. Rosie seemed to understand what Herna was feeling. He looked at Herna's eyes while widening his smile and nodded at her as a sign of assurance of nothing to worry about. Herna looked at all of that and then reached her hand.
“Herna Razak.”
“Greetings, Herna.”
Rosie maintained her smile making Herna's face red. Quickly, he let go of Rosie's hand and lowered his face.
Ouchay.. Why so cute?
Rosie is shocked by her own monologue and dismisses her thoughts. He could hardly believe what he was thinking. He tried to ignore it by focusing on his surroundings.
“Jom we look at Adah.”
Rosie moved first without seeing Herna's reaction. But the girl followed him from behind. Patient rest rooms in the health center are very easy to find. It is only one room for the rest patient in the building.
His room with the walls of light allowed them to look directly inward. They moved into the room but stopped at the gate. Rosie could see her sister sitting on the bed glancing out the window. He had time to turn towards Herna who was looking down trembled before doing any action. Rosie was not ready to move inside yet but she gathered her courage to make a sound.
“Hai, Adah.”
She looked at Rosie who was bowing at the gate of the room. Adah knew, after a long time they were not contrite, seeing the awkward Rosie to start their conversation, made her smile.
“Hi, stranger.”
Rosie looked up after hearing Adah's voice. Only her sweet smiling sister looked at him, making him want to cry. Not for being sad but happy that she finally saw her sister smile again. He ran to his sister and hugged her tightly. A little laugh saw his brother.
“There are people missing us.”
Rosie tightens her arms again, “Mestilah.”
Not denying it either, she also missed her brother. Thus, he allowed himself to drown longer in his brother's arms and live it up to him.
Herna who saw the two of them from the door, lowered her head in respect of the privacy of the two of them. He stepped back slowly leaving from the space.
Maybe not today.
Herna was missing from the room. Without his knowledge, Adah is aware of the presence of his assistant. He just silently watched his maid leave the two of them.
"Oh, Adah. Your friend was my friend." Rosie turned her back but there was no one behind her.
“So that slave is near behind me.”
“Who? You were je.”
Rosie. As absurd as it was, the person who was with him from earlier disappeared just like that.
“Maybe parents for our close room to catch-up back during the month we missed.”
He looked back at his sister. Seeing those eyes pondering towards her as the smile that was thrown gave her calmness, forgetting to lose Herna for a while. He sat down at the bed of Adah.
“We haven't said a month, the crew.”
“Seriously a month? Not a year? Why do I feel old?”
Rosie laughed a little with her sister who deliberately did bad things to her sister. They had a long conversation before the two of them left for home. Although they tried to reconnect, none of them wanted to open up a story about the events of the past month. But Rosie did not insist. What is now is being grateful for.
Finally, everything is ok.

The sky was clear even though his heart was clouded. For the first time, he returned to the palace without completing his mission. He walked into Miss Iris's room bowed, ashamed of his former chairman. Miss Iris who was busy with her work paper, lost focus to see the presence of Herna who was in a lurch. However, he was more surprised by the return of his assistant.
"Herna? You go home."
Herna was still lowered, unable to lift her head. Miss Iris who saw the ripples of Herna's face seemed to be able to guess the answer to the question. Iris breathed a heavy sigh.
"He's a taknak?"
Herna nodded. He told me every detail as long as he was there. However, what caught his attention was where the events within the library were.
His power's rising that narrow?
Miss Iris got up from her desk and headed to her room window. It was expected, one of his fears had occurred.
"We have to be conscious of his power." Iris looked towards Herna.
"From what you've told me, I'm sure he's not aware of what's going on with him. Most importantly, we can't get that wicked man to her."
~
Like other days, Liza carried out her duties diligently. Although the situation at that time was calm, there was no reason for him to lose focus on his surroundings. As he looked around his forest, he could hear the sound of unfinished footprints coming from him. The smell of the owner of the footprints pierced into the cavity of his life and he was immediately able to guess who the owner was.
"Liza Jeffery!” Zackary screams from below. Liza.
“I came as a sender,” His attention was withdrawn.
“...ask me to take you to the palace.”
Liza's face clearly disagreed, but, Zackary hooked up again before her friend could reply to anything.
“Directions from Mrs Iris.”
The name made him quiet. Without saying anything, he descended from the area and followed the man from behind to the palace.
