Chapter 21 - The Guardian

Protectors or Guardians appear when you need them, as well as your strength. He will appear when you need him

===========

I didn't tell you what happened at school. Because they already know, about the news of the accident.

What I mean is, I didn't mention that I was at the scene.

Before I left Doni's house, we had agreed not to discuss what we saw and experienced.

And when I got home they found out that I was at Doni's house. Doni contacted my neighbor who was in the same class as us, to say that I was with Doni.

So everything is in order.

Now, as usual, I sit alone in the canteen because the empty hours that occur after the break make the free time longer.

Not long after I just stirred the iced tea in front of me Indah suddenly came over to me.

She smiled at me while trying to be comfortable as she sat across from me.

"Hi..."

I greet her, and she blushes when I smile at her.

"How are you?"

She asked while looking around the cafeteria area.

I also subconsciously followed her, looking around the cafeteria while giving the code - What's up?.

"I'm fine"

After a while, she got up from her seat and walked over to me. Sit right next to me and whisper to me.

"Yesterday the Seekers came and took many of the inhabitants of this school"

I was surprised when she said that.

"What, Seekers!?"

I repeat my words,

"You're hiding from them, and hiding where?"

I whispered back to her.

"No, I'm not hiding at all. They walk past me as if they don't see me"

"How could that be?"

How could she escape the Seekers?

As far as I know when Awan told anyone could not escape from it. Meanwhile, when they came, the clouds were always hiding inside my body, how could Indah get away with it? It's not that I'm not happy that she escaped, I'm grateful that she wasn't taken by the Seekers. But how can that be?...

She then returned to his seat.

"Before my father was taken by them in the past, father gave this to me"

She showed me a bracelet that was attached to her hand.

"Father said -don't be afraid of anyone when you're wearing this, be brave"

I approached her and saw in detail what she was using.

"What kind of bracelet is this? Did your father tell you? What allowed you to escape the Seekers?"

I asked her a lot of questions. Because honestly, it was impossible to escape the Seekers.

"I don't know what it's made of, dad didn't tell me either"

"Hmmm"

I just mumbled as she gave me an answer that gave me no result.

I think I need to call Awan

"Awan, where are you?"

Shortly after I questioned his whereabouts he suddenly appeared behind me.

"Hi..."

Spontaneously I was surprised along with Indah. I hope you don't imagine how surprised our expressions are. ️

"Always....!!!!"

I grumbled at him, Indah just laughed a little at the behavior of the two of us.

"So what's the matter?"

Awan asked while sitting next to Indah.

"Yesterday the Seekers came here and brought many of the residents in this school. And miraculously Indah managed to escape from them. And they only passed Indah when they took the others"

Awan was silent and glued to look at me, then saw Indah.

"How could that be!?"

Awan asked seriously and earnestly.

Then Indah innocently stretched out her hand and showed the bracelet she was wearing.

"What does it mean?"

Awan doesn't understand.

"She managed to escape because she used the bracelet, the bracelet was a gift from her father"

"It's not like your father already..-"

"Yes, before her father left"

I cut him off when Awan spoke referring to the time how her father Indah was caught. Because I know what Indah felt when it was revealed to emerge from her memory.

Awan just nodded then held Indah's hand and watched carefully.

I know what Awan is thinking.

He must have wanted a similar bracelet, so he could stay by my side longer.

"Do you want this bracelet too?"

Indah suddenly said the thing that I wanted to.

"Ahh, it's okay. You just use it I can hide it"

But Awan refused.

Yes because I know how Awan feels.

"Not the one in my hand, I have another"

"WHAT!!"

Suddenly I and Awan shouted the same answer.

And again the students in the cafeteria looked at me strangely and whispered.

I don't care.

"Wait a minute, please"

Indah went running to a classroom, I think she would get another bracelet.

How many bracelets does she have, to offer to the Awan too?

I glanced at Awan, who seemed very pleased with what Indah had just said.

But I'm still curious, what kind of bracelet can make her escape the Seekers.

Shortly after Indah left us, she came back with something in her hand.

"This-"

She held out a golden hair that was in her hand.

"What is this Indah? It's hair, not a bracelet."

I spontaneously said that to her.

"Wait for H, let her say something first"

The impatient Awan immediately brought his face closer to Indah's hand.

"So at that time father brought the same thing"

While showing the golden hair that was in her hand.

"Then dad wrapped and tied this hair around my wrist"

While doing the same to Awan.

"And then ..."

The hair that she had just tied in Awan's hands turned into a twist of a bracelet just like the one Indah was wearing.

"Wow"

Awan was astonished to see what had just happened.

Not only Awan but me too.

I saw Awan continue to hold and look at the new toy in his hand.

Hmmm, that's fair.

Not long after that, Indah said goodbye to Awan and me. That she was going to go play with her new friend.

At the same time, the bell rang, indicating that class was over and it was time to go home.

***

Just so you know, that after that incident. In Semampir I mean.

I haven't eaten and drank at all, because I still feel uneasiness when I'm about to drink and eat something.

It's been 3 days now.

This afternoon I decided to play volleyball on the field close to my house.

And strange sights I see everywhere.

Everyone who is on their court doubles, I mean they have followers.

What's this...

"Awan"

I called Awan because I was afraid something was wrong with my eyesight.

Shortly after I called him, he came and sat next to me watching people playing volleyball.

"Why do they have all followers?"

Awan turned to me and smiled.

"Yes, they are the guardians. Every human being has it differently. Some are taken care of by the late. His grandmother or grandfather or late family. They can also be looked after by their twin, but that's rare. And sometimes too they are guarded by certain creatures with strange forms. They will follow wherever that person goes."

"Did they find out?"

I asked Awan.

"No, they don't know it, though they just like you can see the invisible. But they can't see their guards."

Awan answered with certainty.

"How did it happen?"

I asked him again.

"Yes, because that's how it should be. Only other people can see it, and even then not everyone like you can see each other's guards. Not everyone can see that, only a few. So you are one of them. "

Hmmm. I understand what Awan meant.

Then who will take care of me? Who is my guardian, is it Awan? Or is it not?.

==========

Then who is my guard? What is Awan? Or is there something else? Can the Awan see it?
