Chapter 11 - Chapter 10 : Light Comes After the Dark

As usual, I take a bath first, after that praying time, then I lay in my bed and play with my handphone, waiting for dinner time, while I'm watching YouTuve, there is a message notification from someone.

.

It's from Yana.

.

-----------------------------------

Notification

Yana: Are you okay Chan?

------------------------------------

.

Im a bit Shocked, she rarely chats with me, and when she did, it is always about homework and some assignments, well, to be honest, I'm happy too that she looks concerned about me, now the real problem is, what must I do.

.

I don't know what to reply to her message, should I just say I'm okay?, or must I make a longer conversation?, but how?, I don't even know what must I ask about too, I'm very awkward when it's about her.

.

Still wondering about how I must reply, feeling anxiety, I thought about reply it later after dinner, but, when I'm about to slide off the notification, I accidentally click the notification, which leads to the chat room, and her message will be tagged as "read".

.

"Amjimk*, my stupid ass is miss clicked"

.

Not taking a long time, and without consideration, I just reply with some flat words which are suck and terrible.

.

"Yep I'm fine"

.

I want to dig a big hole and bury myself right now, I'm pretty disappointed and my day is ruined, I bet I look like a big asshole in her perspective right now, oh my god, please just make me passed out again, I want to escape this situation.

.

And after around 2 minutes, She replied, I thought she's gonna mad at me, but instead, she asked me again if she can call me right now, well, it turns out okay actually, Thank god.

.

because I still have some time before dinner, I just replied "sure I can, maybe for 10 minutes, before dinner".

.

After I send the message, she instantly called me, wow, she's not wasting any time huh, well, of course, I answer the call.

.

"hello Chan?" said Yana over the phone, then I replied casually "hi Yana, what's up?".

.

Yana said again "oh thank God, Chan, I'm very shocked when I saw you suddenly fall from your desk this morning" Woah that sounds harsh, so I ask Yana something "Did I make a scene at the class?".

.

Yana raise his voice a bit, said: "Of course you are, Ryan and Edwin are carrying you to Infirmary, and I trying to contact teachers in the staff room, and I found Mrs. Anna".

.

So I did troubling everyone, sigh, maybe I'm going to apologize to everyone next Monday, so I said to Yana "Oh my, thank you Yana, sorry for making everybody worried"

.

"It's okay Chan, are you feeling well now?, you have a high fever when you passed out" Yana replied

.

She seems very concerned about me…, I replied to her "Yes, thanks for asking, you're always a nice Friend to me", but, after I replied to her, she's not responding, I thought the signal is an error, so I try to call out to her " Yana…?"

.

Yana responded with a bit of stutter "Ah… yes, Chan, soo... you gonna go to school tomorrow?", did she just space out? while calling with me?.

.

"Uhm, I'm gonna be absent until next Monday Yana, My father told me to get a check-up tomorrow, and Mrs. Anna told me to take a rest too" I replied to Yana.

.

Yana was surprised hearing what I said, and she said "Huh…until Monday?, how about your assignments?", I replied to her "Ryan will tell me about it"

.

It seems our conversation going so well, I just hope this lasts long, but then, someone knocking on my door.

.

Knock knock knock *

.

I hold my call with Yana and answer the door "yes ??" then someone replied "Richan, let's go to the dining room, mom called for us, I think the dinner is ready" ahh it's Duran, it looks like it's dinner time right now.

.

I told Duran to wait a minute "Okay Kakk, you can go first, Im a bit busy now, maybe a couple of minutes later" and Duran replied "Alright, make sure not to take a long time, or I'm gonna get scolded by mom", I told him again "Suree"

.

Sigh dear Kakak, right at the wrong time, when I'm just getting into a conversation with Yana, now I'm a bit confused, must I just continue chatting for a couple of minutes or should I end it up here, and then I decided to…

.

"Hello Yana, I'm sorry but…, I must go" I decided to end this conversation, I think Yana gonna be disappointed, then she said "oh, it's okay, I'm sorry Chan if I disturb you", ahh what a relief that she understands, but still, I'm feeling bad for her to leave her.

.

"No no no, it's okay, let's continue this sometime later, ill be happy if we do" after I said it, Yana seems motivated again she said "really?, okay then, bye Chan, Get well soon", I replied "Bye Yana" and I close the call.

.

I drop my phone on my bed, and I'm going straight to the dining room, there, everyone already takes a seat, and is just about to start eating, it seems I'm right in time, and when I'm about to sit, my mother asks me something.

.

"Richan, what are you doing recently in your bedroom?" she said, but before I can reply, Duran butting in "He's calling with a girl mom," he said while smirking at me, mother hear what just Duran said and she seems surprised and asks me "is it true Richan ?"

.

Well, Duran is not wrong, but me and Yana just a friend right?, so I said to mother "No mom, I mean yes it's a girl, but, we're just a good friend.", but after I said it, instead of mom, Duran speak, he said, "Oh really, but your tone seems very sweet when you talking to her".

.

Shhh, he teasing me again, it's a bit annoying, but then, father scold Duran "Duran, stop teasing your adek", haha that's what you get for teasing me, now Duran seems to apologize but he still using a teasing tone "Okay okay, Im sorry my dear adek ~ " Duran said.

.

Ah yes, tomorrow father and mother told me to get a check-up, oh my god, what a bother, do we must go, I mean, I think I'm better now, so I try to ask Father "Papa, do I must have a checkup tomorrow?".

.

Papa looks at me and reply "Yes Richan, you suddenly passed out on school, we're just worried that something might happen to your health", yeah, papa care about me I think, but I try to convince Papa again "but I feel fine now, look I already can move like normal"

.

But mother suddenly butting in and say to me "Richan… it's just a checkup okay, its better safe than sorry", ah yeah whatever, it's just a normal checkup, what can be wrong, so I reply to mom "Okay mom".

.

After our little conversation, we proceed to have dinner together, and continue with a small family time, watching TV together, and I play a game with Duran, until around 8:30 PM, then I head back to my bedroom, laying around again and trying to recall what happened on my dream this morning.

.

So in summary, Black, or I don't know who is trying to tell me something, is it about that man who look-alike me, or is it about this.

.

I took off my necklace and inspecting it closely, the sword ornament, there is nothing special about it, it's just a normal accessory made from cheap iron maybe, but why in my dream it looks like something very important for me, I mean it is very precious because it's a gift from my father.

.

Not trying to think more about it, I stored the necklace on the place as usual, and back to my bed again, looking back again on my recent dream, that man…, he really looks like me, maybe it's just a coincidence.

.

And the man with a wolf mask, and black attires, is he Dark?, But why is Black trying to push me off, instead of explaining more further about this, ugh, I thought he promise to protect me in my dream but, aargh whatever, it's a dream anyway, a strange one.

.

I better be sleep now, and I hope Im not have a strange dream again, well, maybe it's just a faint hope, but who knows, but when Im about to turn off the lamp, someone knocking on my door.

.

*knock knock knock*

.

I answer the knock "yesss?, who's there" then I hear a reply "it's me", ah it's Duran's voice, so I just ask Duran "Kak?, what's up, just go in" then he replied "Nah, I'm just gonna ask, if you feel alright" ehh, he still being concerned to me? that's weird, it's rare for him to be like this.

.

So I said to Duran "Oh, I'm fine Kak, just about to sleep", Duran was silent for a while then he said " Oh okay, that's good to hear", then we say good night to each other, and I can hear he walk back to his bedroom.

.

Well, I think he really cares about me, Im his little brother after all, but I feel very bad too because Im not telling him the truth, I hope this problem of mine gonna end soon.

.

< Then after that, Richan turn off his light and take go to sleep, he's pretty tired and that's why he is asleep already, but there is someone who is not sleeping yet, who?, Of course, it's the big brother>

.

.

[Duran POV]

I was ordered by my mother, to see my little brother, Richan, my mother said he was passed out in his classroom, now that was a surprise for my mother, even me because he looks fine this morning.

.

Now I'm in the School, sigh*, It already around 6 years since I'm graduated from here, there are not so many changes in the school, I greet the security and head immediately to the infirmary, when Im in, there I see Richan laying in the bed unconsciously, and there is this girl, beside him watching Richan sleeping.

.

I try to greet her "Hello ?", then she looked at me and she said "Oh hello, are you perhaps, Chan, relatives?" what the, she calls Richan with Chan??, hohoho, this is gonna be a good topic to tease him later, then I answer her "Uhm yes, I'm his older brother, Duran" while bowing a little.

.

She's getting up from her chair, and then she introduced herself "oh I'm sorry, I'm Yana, Chan friend, nice to meet you" ahh I see, so her name is Yana, Richan must be surprised If I mention her name sometimes.

.

Okay, enough joking, so then I try to ask Yana what happens to Richan "Nice to meet you, and thanks for waiting for him, errr… Can you tell me in summary what happen to my little brother?" I said to her.

.

After that, Yana told me about what happens to Richan, it's almost hard to believe, I mean he just having a lively chat with his friend, and when he just want to take a nap in class, instead he passed out until now?

.

Then someone came into the infirmary, bringing Richan stuff like a bag and book, I was told by Richan back then, he is the class rep, Ryan, I think it was his name, Richan mention his name.

.

He gets into the infirmary, it looks like he feeling nervous, he said to me "Uhmm, excuse me this is Richan stuff, I was told to bring it here" ahh, he's a good kid, like Richan, so I talk to him "Okay, thank you for bringing it here"

.

After that, he and Yana are leaving because their next class gonna be started soon, then Im waiting in the infirmary, beside Richan's bed, until he waked up, but around 30 minutes later, when I thought he wakes up.

.

"No, no, Stop chasing me, Black, help me," Richan said with a bit scared expression on his face.

.

I think he had a nightmare, huh? while passed out? is it even possible? who's even Black? I think it's better if I wake him up now, so we can go home quickly, then when I'm about to wake him, he says something again.

.

"the… the Fate Eater, no.., stay away"

.

No… no no no no, it can't be.

.

< And that's what happen in the infirmary this morning, so let's get back to present times in Duran bedroom>

.

*Sigh*

.

I hope I was wrong, I hope all of this is just a coincidence but, I can't be sure, his last behaviors are pretty strange too, I mean he did being noisy too in his bedroom last night, and the night before too, and why the noise sounds like he running, and why… there is Fate eater in his dream, who told him about that.

.

Did….. Richan hiding something from me and Papa and Mom?, I hope I was wrong, I think I'm just gonna sleep for now, and think about this later again.

.

< Duran now is sleeping too, and he seems worried about Richan, what's make him so worried?, or what is the secret behind all of this? Well, let's just see later.>

.

< This night, Richan had a safe moment, he is not having a strange dream, but there is someone on his room beside him, sitting on the windows and watching him, covered with the moonlight >

.

"Ohh~ so the dense head is already done with Richan huh~, I think now it's my time~, but for now~, I'm gonna let you rest first~, dear Richan~"
