Levi stopped right in front of a white fenced house with a brown wooden gate framed with black hollow iron. It was getting dark, Levi ran out of the car to open the back door of the car, then unloaded Jayna's stuff.
Jayna and Amee also got out of the car. Jayna took the suitcase that Levi had given her and carried her backpack on her shoulders. Amee stood smiling on the other side.
After saying goodbye, Levi and Amee got back into the car and drove away shortly after honking the horn. Jayna shifted the railing and dragged the suitcase inside. At the door, a household member smiled as she ran to greet Jayna and then took the suitcase and backpack she was carrying.
"Let me take Miss." Welcome Ms. Nay to Jayna. Jayna let Ms. Nay carry her suitcase and backpack.
"Thank you Nay, Mr. Jade is at home already?" Jayna made small talk.
"Not yet Miss, there's only Ma'am. Rayan is out with his grandparents, but he'll be home soon." Ms. Nay replied as she opened the door of the house.
"Have you arrived, Jay? Already eaten?" Ariana, Jade's wife, immediately hugged Jayna.
"Not yet sis. Want to shower first..." Jayna hugged Ariana back while grinning.
"Yeah, just take a shower first. Then straight to the dining room. It's okay if you want to eat first. Jade might be late coming home. Jake and June are still on the way to pick up Jeno at June's sister's place." Ariana escorted Jayna to the guest room she used to use every time she stayed there.
Jayna entered the room shortly after arriving in front of the door, smiling as she let go of Ariana's embrace. She threw herself on the bed and closed her eyes. Jayna planned to just close her eyes for a while, but it turns out she was dissolved in her sleep.
The sensation of flying back Jayna felt in her sleep. The smell of wet wood, a sense of dampness and cold enveloped Jayna's body. She didn't dare open her eyes. More precisely, Jayna was afraid if she opened her eyes and saw the place, she was worried if she had to find out again what was going on with her.
But Jayna opened her eyes slowly, hoping not to wake up in the same place. After slowly opening her eyes, she found her surroundings dark. Jayna started to panic and tried to find a glimmer of light, even if it was a little. As if responding to her panic, far away from her feet was a dot of orange light. She sat up and crawled toward the orange light. The closer to the light, the more clearly Jayna saw the green grass that was like drenched in mayonnaise sauce. This time Jayna tried to get out of a small hole which turned out to be a gray stone wall. It was quite difficult to get out of there because it was quite small for Jayna's body.
After trying hard with various positions to get out of that right, Jayna silently stared at the unfamiliar place where he was now.
'What is all this? Where is this? Why am I here?' Jayna's mind was racing as she tried to digest her current situation.
Jayna continued to walk down the swath of the road downhill and a bit rocky. 'This seems to be a road that people often pass, I just need to find the end of this road' Jayna carefully descended the road while occasionally descending while crouching if she found a steep descent. It had been quite a while since Jayna had walked away from the small rock cave earlier. Far ahead of Jayna was the end of the road which was a ravine.
Jayna stopped and sat down looking at the chasm in front of her.
'Damn! It's come this far, at the end of it is just a chasm'. Jayna cursed. She got up from her seat and tried to walk and approach the edge of the cliff and see what she could do.
JAYNA, JAYNA, JAYNA…. echoed her name.
Instantly, the ground she was standing on swayed and began to crumble towards the abyss. Jayna panicked and twisted her body to run back up. Before Jayna could turn around, one of her feet slipped and was carried away by the ground that collapsed into the abyss. Again, the echoing voice earlier called out Jayna's name loudly. The vibration was getting stronger, Jayna grabbed the grass around her reflexively. Her hands were no longer able to hold onto the grass because the vibrations were getting stronger, causing Jayna to be thrown into the abyss.
'My youth is over' Jayna thought as she was thrown. Jayna closed her eyes, the loud voice calling her name startled her. Jayna opened her eyes, and saw Edward was sitting next to her. Jayna was shocked and immediately got up and hugged Edward.
"Tell me this is real!!" Jayna hugged Edward tightly.
"Jay, what are you doing? How wet you are now?"
"Ed, I fell off the abyss. There was an earthquake Ed!! Then I fell. Keep it dark. I fell in ravine. I'm afraid!!" Jayna mumbled as she sobbed and hugged Edward.
"Jay, calm down Jay. Okay? Calm. You were just a dream. I'm here, Jay. Just calm down. It's all right." Edward stroked Jayna's hair, comforting her.

Edward looked at the clock on his phone screen.
"Jayna should have finished the meeting." Edward muttered to himself in his car.
He kept the phone in his pocket, then immediately took it again and opened contacts. Edward pressed the call button on a name in his contacts.
"Yes hello Ed?" Said the voice on the other place.
"Hello sir? Where are you now?" Edward replied.
"On my way. It's close to home. Why?" Answer that person.
"Oh, still on the way. I thought you were at home. I want to ask about Jayna, have you arrived yet?" Edward replied wearily.
"Oh, not yet. But Jayna is already at home, she said earlier." Jade answered.
"Mmh, is it okay if I also go to your house. There is something I want to bring to Jayna. She didn't answer my phone." Edward asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, just go home. Jayna is at home. You are far away?" Ask here again.
"No, sir, it's close. want to stop by to buy necessities for a moment, "Edward replied enthusiastically.
Edward drove his car directly to Jade's residence.
After a while, Jade opened the door and found Edward grinning at the door.
"Where's Jayna, sir?" Edward immediately asked while looking around looking for the person he was asking about.
"It's in the room. It's like falling asleep. wake it up, because it's going to be evening." Jade pointed to Edward's guest room where Jayna was.
Edward knocked on the door and put his ear to the door. Because there was no answer, Edward ventured to press the doorknob which was not locked and found Jayna screaming while sleeping . Edward was shocked and came to Jayna immediately. Jayna was already covered in wet sweat and biting her lip. Edward called her name and rocked Jayna's body, which was getting sweaty and her brow furrowed in pain.
When he saw Jayna open her eyes, Edward sat down beside Jayna. There is a feeling of relief. Suddenly Jayna sat up and hugged Edward with a trembling body.
Edward was confused to hear Jayna who was babbling and tried to calm him in his arms.
Jade, who was passing by in front of the room, heard Jayna raving and saw his younger sister hugging.
"What happened?" Jade entered the room.
