The Progeny - Part 4

(Long part)

Then, he saw Khatijah still sitting on the ground, wiping all the street dust on her cloth. He went in front of her.
"Hey. Are you okay?" He lent her his hand to help her get up. Khatijah looked up, trying to see his face. She squinted her eyes a little due to the sunlight. She finally sees his face. He looked familiar to her. And it's the first time someone offered to assist her. She looked down and tried to get up on her own.
"Yeah, it's okay. I'm fine." She says as she's standing up.
The boy just glared at her while walking back to his bicycle.
"What are you doing here anyway? Running like you've been chased or something." He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Uh, nothing." She replied while her eyes wandered around, looking for the woman. She then realized that she didn't know where she was. She frowned.
"Uhm.. where am I, actually?" She asked him.
"Obviously, you're in someone's private property. I suggest you get outta here." The boy replied, getting on his bicycle.
Khatijah frowned again. "Well, then what about you? What are you doing in SOMEONE'S PRIVATE PROPERTY?" She raised her eyebrows, asking it.
"Uh... you know. Just because." He gave him a bread smile. You know, like the meme on the Internet. He starts to ride his bicycle, leaving her standing there. Khatijah was so confused.
"JUST GO STRAIGHT THEN TAKE A RIGHT." The boy raised his voice as he was going far. She just looked at him and sighed.

She found the direction to her Grandma's house and finally got back. Khatijah went inside the house and went straight to her room. She closed the door and immediately sat on the floor. She closed her eyes as she sat. She inhaled and exhaled. Her heart's beating really fast. She didn't even know why. She looked at both her shaking hands. They're full of blood. She was wide-eyed. Then, she heard Aisyah knocking on the door. She's startled.
"Khatijah? I saw you coming in. Are you okay? Where did you go?" Aisyah was worried. Khatijah's hands were still full of blood. She still tries to believe she was just hallucinating. She catches her breath before replying to her mom.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Don't worry, I'll be out in a second." She closed her eyes. It's her first time having a panic attack. She stood up and grabbed a napkin, then quickly wiped the blood. While she was trying to wipe the blood off her hands, the entire room started shaking out of knowhere. She was freaked out. She stepped back and began to sit back on the floor. She recites the du'as while closing her eyes. Both her hands hold her head. The shaking slowly stopped. Khatijah opened her eyes. The shake finally stopped. She sighed out of relief. She really didn't understand what just happened.
Khatijaha went outside of the room to clean herself. Salmah was sitting with Wafiq in the living room.
"Khatijah..are you okay?" Salmah asked, watching her on the way to the bathroom. Khatijah stopped and turned around.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Khatijah replied, giving her a slight smile. She continues her way to the bathroom. Aisyah and Salmah looked at each other.
"We have to tell her." Aisyah says as they were sitting on the couch.
Salmah nodded slowly. "Yes, but we have to wait until tomorrow." Aisyah nodded back.
Khatijah cleaned up herself. She went back inside her room after dinner. She lay down on the bed, staring into the ceiling. She let out a sigh.
"What the hell is wrong with me.." She became sleepy, but then she remembered about the boy she was bumped into.
"The boy said it was a private property, but he just continues to ride straight to it. Huh, weird. And the woman. She was the one who led me there." Khatijah thought. She decided to go there again tomorrow.

Cempaka spurts out lots of blood. Orkid let go of her head while she was laughing like a maniac. Cempaka was now laying on her chest, trying to reach for Orkid when she was getting out of the  house. She grabbed Orkid's left leg. Orkid turned around and kicked Cempaka on the face.
"Don't touch me!" She said. Cempaka groaned as she was kicked. She was losing so much blood. She cried out in pain.
"Burn them." Orkid smirked. Her servants nodded and began to burn Cempaka's house. A boy who was hiding managed to escape through a hidden door in the house.
