24. The Quarrel

Malika imagined all the events that were experienced together with Airlangga while in the campground of Korowelang village. several times Erlangga peeked at her practicing martial arts with her friends and teachers. several times she tries to take pictures of herself and do other things that really annoy them.

 Erlangga threw pebbles at him several times and laughed when the pebbles thrown by Erlangga hit her head silently and cursed. absolutely no manners.

 “Answer my question, how does he bother you? does he try to fight and invite you to fight while you are practicing self-defense with your friends or . you . . . ."

 Malika told everything about Erlangga's actions. This made Anjani almost burst out laughing in that place. She immediately covered her mouth when she saw someone was passing behind Malika. It is not clear who he is but Anjani is sure that he is Erlangga. She wanted to tell Malika that Erlangga was around her but before she did that Malika had already said some swear words

"I suspect that he may be the witch's subordinate who is disguised in this hermitage. We need to be careful that we don't miss out."

Anjani turned her head away trying to ask Malika to stop her sentence because at this moment Erlangga was really standing behind the girl. But unfortunately Malika didn't understand the code that Anjani gave her so she expressed all her annoyance loudly.

“We must be vigilant and report all to Mr Wijaya. Don't let Mr. Wijaya feels like he loves the man but in fact he cares. I'm afraid this week will…. "

"uhm"

Hearing a snort behind him, Malika stopped her sentence. The body felt hot and she could only stand still without being able to turn her head back. Malika was sure that the person behind her was Erlangga who deliberately followed in her footsteps and tried to understand her attitude when he was behind.

 “Why don't you continue your sentence? What are you worried about?”

“Ah, n-n-no”

 Malika shook her head then glared at Anjani who turned on the girl because she didn't remind the man that she had been behind him before. Anjani, who felt intimidated by the angel, just shook her head while cupping her hands on her chest. there is no point in arguing in front of Airlangga and using Anjani is very unpleasant when she has to deal with arrogant men who have always been Mr. Wijaya's favorite students.

“Was about to leave Erlangga and avoid the man because he was really scared. But before his feet stepped, Erlangga was in front of him. Malika didn't know when the man moved and locked his movement quickly. This makes Malika really frustrated.

“P-please go! I don't want anything to do with you at all. I'm sorry if I'm guilty of backbiting you, but I really don't want anything to do with you.”

“You have accused me viciously. Do you have solid evidence that you say that I am a spy is wrong? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know all about me. I don't like women who always interfere and slander other people. Lucky you were saved and brought here. Otherwise, you would have been eaten by the jinn king a second time."

Hearing the word king of jinn mentioned by Erlangga Malika was really scary. body trembled and sweat flooded all over her body making Anjani, who had been stuck in place for a long time, immediately grabbed Malika's hand and took her away from Erlangga. Erlangga, who knew that Anjani was about to save the girl, finally gave up and left Malika and Anjani who were still running towards her room.

Arriving in the room, Malika and Anjani managed to catch their breath, which were still chasing each other. Those who were panting seemed to be struggling to control themselves.

"I thank you for the initiative to pull my hand so he can't lock me anymore sis. I don't know what will happen if you don't pull me. Then why didn't you tell me that he was behind Try if you told me you wouldn't have spoken so loudly.”

“You don't see me shaking my head and pointing behind you while you're talking? At that time I was giving you a code that you should be quiet but in fact you just kept giving up while talking carelessly. It's only natural that Erlangga is angry that you have slandered him very viciously by saying he is Sarah's subordinate. anyone will be angry with Malika."

 Malika nodded her head yes and confirmed what Anjani said but in her heart she still did not accept the man's treatment of her.

“But I would never want to point at him again. no, just because he is Master Guru's favorite student, he can be arbitrarily against us. I don't want to give in."

"In my opinion, it's better for you to be quiet and not move too much and talk about Erlangga again. One little step, you will get into trouble and I don't want you to leave this Padepokan. However, your condition is very weak. You have no family and only I can be your friend right? Even if you still have the house, I'm sure Sarah will find you there. If that happens, you definitely won't be able to survive. For the umpteenth time, please Malika, follow my words. From now on, surrender to Airlangga and admit that he is more victorious than us. There's no point in us fighting with our own classmates, right? We will lose because everything will tarnish our good name.”

Malika nodded her head hearing what Anjani suggested. There is no other choice because he thinks Anjani's words are all true. She will succumb to being able to carry out the mandate of her parents to kill Sarah. She promised that starting today she would study diligently to be able to improve her abilities as a provision to face the evil witch.

"Very well, I will obey all your orders. From today onwards, pestle will be a sweet child and won't be a rebel anymore like I used to do at home. I will obey all your orders because everything you say is the same as what my mother and father said. They want to see me be a good girl, gentle and loving. Not being a brave girl who always rebelled against anyone's policies. Teach me to be a sweet woman so that people who see me will be interested in helping and helping me. Not being arrogant like what Erlangga did to me."

"I can't promise but I will still try to give love to you as a sister as best I can."

Hearing Anjani's answer, Malika finally got up and bumped into Anjani's body while sobbing.

"Thank you, thank you for accepting me as a sister. I promise to be a little sister who always protects her sister and obeys her orders well. Thank you again for accepting me as your family.”
