The Dark Moon Kaizer and The Djiins

When I got back home, as usual, I took a bath first, then did my prayers. Then I lay in my bed and played with my phone, waiting for dinner time while watching YouTu**; suddenly, there was a LINE message notification from someone.

.

It's from Yana.

.

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

Notification

Yana: Are you okay, Chan?

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

.

After looking at the notification, I'm a bit surprised. She rarely chats with me, and when she does, it is always about homework and some assignments. Well, to be honest, I'm happy that she seems concerned about me. Now, the real problem is, what must I do?

.

I don't know how to reply to her message. Should I say I'm okay? Or must I have a more extended conversation? But how? I don't even know what I must ask about, either; I'm very awkward about this kind of thing.

.

Still wondering about how I must reply, feeling anxious, I thought about replying later after dinner. Still, when I was about to slide off the notification, I accidentally clicked the notification, which led to the chat room, and her message would be tagged as "read".

.

"Amjimk"*, I spouted when my stupid ass was miss clicked on the notification."

.

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

.

"Yep, I'm fine" Great, I'm so screwed.

.

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 from her perspective right now; oh my god, please just make me pass out again if possible right now, I want to escape this situation.

.

After around 2 minutes, she replied, "I thought she was going to be mad at me, but instead, she asked me again if she could call me right now." Well, it turns out okay, actually. Thank God.

.

Because I still had some time before dinner, I just replied, "Sure, I can, maybe for 10 minutes before dinner."

.

After I sent the message, she instantly called me. Wow, she's not wasting any time, huh? Well, of course, I answered 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 was very shocked when I saw you suddenly fall from your desk this morning." Woah, that sounded harsh, so I asked Yana something. "Did I make a scene in the class?".

.

Yana raised his voice a bit and said: "Of course you are; Ryan and Edwin are carrying you to the Infirmary after they tried to wake you up, and I tried to contact teachers in the staff room, and fortunately, I found Mrs Anna".

.

So I did trouble 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 had a very high fever when you passed out; your forehead was literally boiling back then", Yana replied with a concerned voice.

.

She seemed very concerned about me… I replied to her, "Yes, thanks for asking; you're always a nice Friend to me," but after I replied, she did not respond. I thought the signal was an error, so I tried to call out to her, " Yana…?"

.

Yana responded with a stutter: "Ah… yes, Chan, soo... are you going to School tomorrow?" Did she just space out while calling me?

.

"Uhm, I'm going to 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 to hear what I said. She said, "Huh…until Monday? How about your assignments?" I replied to her immediately, "Ryan will tell me about it."

.

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

.

*Knock knock knock*

.

I held my call with Yana and answered 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. I'm a bit busy now, maybe a couple of minutes later. " 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 comfortable conversation with Yana. I'm a bit confused and in a dilemma now. Must I just continue chatting for a couple of minutes, or should I just go and end it up here? But then I decided to…

.

"Hello Yana, I'm sorry but…, I must go" I decided to end this conversation; I thought 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. I'll be happy if we do." After I said it, Yana seemed motivated again. She said, "Really? "Okay then, bye Chan, Get well soon." I replied, "Bye Yana," and I closed 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 have you been doing recently in your bedroom to make you delay going downstairs?" she said, but before I could reply, Duran butted into our conversation. "He's calling with a girl, Mom," he said while smirking at me and chomping down his food. After mother heard what Duran had just said, she seemed surprised and asked me, "Is it true, Richan ?"

.

Well, Duran is not wrong, but Yana and I are just friends, right? So I said to my mother, "No, mom. I mean, yes, it's a girl, but we're just good friends. " But after I said it, instead of Mom, Duran spoke. He said, "Oh, really, but your tone seems very sweet when you talk to her."

.

Aishh, he's teasing me again. It's a bit annoying, so I just gave him the side eyes. But then, his father scolded Duran, "Duran, stop teasing Richan." Haha, that's what you get for teasing me. Now Duran seems to apologize, but he's still using a teasing tone. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, my dear Adek, " Duran said.

.

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

.

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

.

But my mother suddenly butted in and said to me, "Richan… it's just a check-up, okay? It's better safe than sorry." Oh yeah, whatever. It's just a regular check-up, right? What can be wrong? So I replied to Mom with a low tone, "Okay, Mom."

.

After our little conversation, we had dinner together and continued with a small family time, watching TV together. I played a game with Duran until around 8:30 PM, then I headed back to my bedroom, lay around again, and tried to recall what happened in my dream that morning.

.

So, in summary, that hall with many people, the strange creature that chased me, that mysterious big door and throne, and yeah, especially, is that person in the dark robe back then inside my dream actually Black? And who is the person who looks like me with the black and white hair? Was this still a mysterious thing, or was it just a fever dream? I don't know.

.

I took off my necklace and inspected it closely. The sword ornament—there is nothing special about it; it's just a regular accessory made from cheap iron, maybe? But why, in my dream, does it look like something very important to me? I mean, it is very precious to me because it's a gift from my father.

.

Not trying to think more about it, I stored the necklace in the place as usual and went back to my bed again, looking back again at my recent dream. That man... he really looked like me. Maybe it's just a coincidence or my feelings, but...

.

I better go to sleep now, and I hope I don't have a strange dream again. Well, maybe it's just a faint hope, but who knows? When I'm about to turn off the lamp, someone knocks on my door.

.

*knock knock knock*

.

I answered the knock, "Yes? who's there?" Then I heard a reply, "It's me." Ah, it's Duran's voice, so I just asked Duran, "Kak? What's up? Just go in." Then he replied, "Nah, I'm just gonna ask if you feel alright." Eh, is he still concerned about 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 turned off his light and went to sleep. He's pretty tired, and that's why he was asleep already, but there was someone who was not sleeping yet; who? Of course, it was the big brother, Duran>

.

.

[Duran POV]

This morning, my mother ordered me to see my little brother, Richan. My mother received a call from Richan's School that they said he had passed out in his classroom and had not woken up till now. Now that was really a surprise for my mother, and even me, because he looked fine this morning.

.

Now I'm inside the School already. Ahh, it's been around six years since I graduated from here. There are not so many changes in the School. I go to security first and head immediately into the Infirmary. When I'm in there, I see Richan lying in the bed unconsciously, and there is this girl beside him watching Richan sleeping.

.

I tried 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 my head a little.

.

She got up from her chair and then introduced herself: "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Yana, Chan's friend and also a classmate; nice to meet you." Ahh, I see. So her name is Yana. Richan must be surprised if I sometimes mention her name.

.

Okay, enough joking. So, I tried to ask Yana what had happened to Richan. "Nice to meet you, and thanks for waiting for him, errr… Can you tell me in summary what happened to my little brother?" I said to her while also walking near Richan beside his bed.

.

After that, Yana told me about what happened to Richan. It's almost hard to believe. I mean, he was having a lively chat with his friend, and when he wanted to take a nap in class, instead, he passed out and fell off his desk.

.

Then, not for long, someone came into the infirmary, bringing Richan stuff like a bag and book; he looked familiar to me. I think there was this one time he went to our home to play with Richan, I was told by Richan back then that he was the class rep, Ryan; I think it was his name, Richan mentioned his name.

.

He got into the Infirmary; it looked like he was feeling nervous. After that, he said to me, "Uhmm, excuse me, this is Richan stuff. I was told to bring it here by the homeroom teacher." Ahh, he's a good kid, like Richan, so I talked to him. Okay, thank you for bringing it here."

.

After that, he and Yana left because their next class was going to start soon; then Im waited Inside the Infirmary beside Richan's bed until he woke up, but around 30 minutes later, Richan was mumbling, and when I thought he woke up.

.

"No, no. Stop chasing me, Black. Help me," Richan said, his face a bit scared while still asleep.

.

I think he had a nightmare, huh? While passed out? Is it even possible? Who's even Black? It's better if I wake him up now so we can go home quickly. Then, when I'm about to wake him, he repeats something.

.

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

.

I stopped my hand that was about to wake him; I froze when he spouted that name; no… no, no, no, no, it can't be.

.

< And that's what happened 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 behaviours these days are pretty strange too. I mean, he kept being noisy in his bedroom last night and the night before, too, and why the noise sounds like he is running, and why… there is Fate Eater inside his dream, who told him about that.

.

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

.

< 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 see later.>

.

< This night, Richan had a safe moment; he did not have a strange dream, but there was someone in his room beside him, sitting on the window and watching him, basking with the moonlight and smiling brightly>

.

"Ohh~ so the dense head is already done with Richan this, huh~? I think now it's my time~, but for now~, I'm gonna let you rest first~, dear Richan~." said the mysterious person while humming cheerfully.
