Homepage/The Magic Brush/
Chapter 17 Nightmares
I open my eyes. It is really dark, feels like I'm blinding now. But after a while, the light begins to illuminate the area.
Right In front of me, the is a brush that flying in air. It is my magical brush. I grab it and holding the brush tightly.
But suddenly, there is sound of people's shouting filling my ears. The sound is deafening. I have to close both of my ears using my hands.
Suddenly, there's full of people sits infront of me. I am stuns by watching this. What are they doing?
They all praising me and glorified me.
"AIDAN! You are the most powerful!!”
“AIDAN! You are the most noble!!”
“AIDAN! You are our God!!”
Various verses of praises from people in front of me. Their voices fills my ears. I don't like it. I want to run away from here but I can barely to run.
"Aidan, Mom's son!!!"
Suddenly Mom's face appearing in front of me as she's hand trying to reach me. And all the faces of my family starting to appear and they standing next to Mom.
But they are too far away from me. I need to get away from all these people who praising me.
I'm trying to run towards them. But before I could reach them, suddenly my legs are being pulled by the crowd that was in front of me earlier.
"Aidan, fulfill our request!!"
“Aidan, you are our god!! Give us what we want!!”
I couldn't let go of their grip. The longer they hold, the grip are getting stronger.
"Mom, Dad help Aidan!!"
But they just keep smiling at me.
"Mom, Dad!!!"
Suddenly there is a light from the sky that caused everyone who is holding my leg screaming of pain and immediately let go of their grip.
I also dazzled by the light, but as the time went on it, it's became clearer to what I see.
"Mr. Razak?"
He's smiling at me. But he was not like the Mr.Razak that I often saw. He wears a glowing white shirts and has a pair of large wings on his back.
Suddenly he held out his hand to me as he ask me to reach for it.
"Aidan, don't you go to that person!!"
Mom's voice was heard from behind Mr. Razak. I'm looking towards Mom's but now she's no longer looking like her. But her voice still the same. Mom's had turned into a horrible creature. Her teeths are sharp and on her head she has a pair of horns like buffalo horns.
All my family beside her resembles her appearances. I can't even look at their face. It's too scary.
I look back at Mr. Razak who is still smiling and held out his hand. I did not want to follow the monstrous creature.
I reaching Mr. Razak's hand and grab his hand. Then he's flapping his wings while holding my hands tightly. The winds from his flapping wings make everyone around to be thrown away.
I am now flying with Mr. Razak in the sky. We enter a light in the sky and I manage to see the people below.
But everyone below has turned into a horrible horned creature like my family. I don't know what creatures they are.
"Aidan... Aidan...."
I wake up when someone shaking my body. I blinked and see that it is Mr. Razak's. I get up and sit and I'm still at Mr. Razak room.
"Aidan, Let's get home. School time is over. Let me send you home."
I glanced at the clock on the wall of his room. The clock already shows 2 pm. Yes, it's time for me to go home.
I wake up writhing and see Mr. Razak who is packing his things to take home with him.
"Come on, Aidan. Let's go"
We walking towards the teacher's car park. When we reaching Mr. Razak's Myvi car, we immediately get into the car.
The car sped out of the school grounds. This is a first time I'm going back with Mr.Razak. After all, Mr. Razak had invited me to ride with before, but I have to obey my mom's instructions that she didn't want anyone to come to her house without her consent. She does not want people to know that they are poor. But, now we're not poor anymore.
We both stay silent in the car until we reached the intersection leading to my house. From a distance, It's can be seen people flocking towards my house, making Mr. Razak have to drive his car slowly.
"Wow there are many people near your house Aidan."
He is surprise by the presence of many people in front of my house. Looks like a celebrity's house who grabs everyone attentions.
"They all want to see Dad's car."I answer.
He just smiles and simply nodding in understanding. Yes, of course everyone is excited to see luxury cars and big houses in the village.
Moreover, before this my family was very poor, and suddenly they became rich. Definitely put a question mark on the villages people.
We get out of the car when he finished parking the car.
"Aidan! Aidan!.. How can this family of yours become so rich?"
"Wow Aidan, your house and car are really beautiful.."
I was subjected to a barrage of questions. I who has not yet entered the house was pulled by the village people.
"Ahhh don't come near me.."
I shouted moderately. My hand was pulled hard. Suddenly I imagined ny dream a while ago.
So this all really happened?
"I'm sorry, sir, ladies and gentlemen. Let go of my student's hand."
Mr. Razak trying to help me but they still did not let of my hands. Mr. Razak had to forcefully reject the person who pulling my hand. Thank god, I manage to escape from them and I went straight into the house with Teacher Razak.
"Thank you, sir."
He just smiled. He then saw the situation in my family's luxury house.
"Wahh... This is all you did, Aidan?" He looks amaze with my creation.
I nodded weakly. I knew for sure that he would scold me for using the brush that he gave to me i use it arbitrarily.
"This is a beautiful piece of art, Aidan."
I looked at Mr. Razak who smiled at me. I knew that the praise given by him was truly sincere.
"Who did you bring in, Aidan?"
I am surprises when suddenly my mom's came down from upstairs to greet me. I feel anxious when thinking about Mr. Razak because my Mom's didn't like people entering her house without her consent.
"Peace be upon you Ma'am. I am Aidan's teacher. I was the one who sent him home."
Suddenly she's smiling.
"Come in. Let's sit first, teacher. There are many people outside who are praising this house. Must be crowded. Let me make the tea first."
Mom's looked different from before, she didn't seem to mind I'm bringing people that she didn't know. Mr. Razak invite me to sit next to him.
"All of this you did by yourself? I'm impressed, Aidan." I just smile shyly.
Mom come out of the kitchen with a new mug that I am sure that she's just bought.
"So teacher, is Aidan makin any problems at school? He really likes to make trouble!" Mom's glare at me.
"Uh, no, Ma'am. Aidan is a good student. He respects his teachers and he even a smart student at school. All the teachers like him. It must be because of your education that made Aidan a good student."
Mom looked at Aidan while raising her eyebrows. She smiling proudly when Mr. Razak praising her.
For me, I didn't feel that was a compliment, more like a insults to her.
"Drink the tea, teacher. Imported tea from New Zealand. I bought a expensive tea."
Mom's grinning while spinning her hair with her finger. My mom's changed at once when she became this rich.
She who used to be polite wearing a baju kurung and wearing a hijab is now no longer wearing any hijabs and now wears tight clothes. She's dress up like a young metropolitan girl.
Mr. Razak tasted some of the tea that was prepared, then he put it back on the table.
"Hmmm Ma'am. This house is beautiful."
Mom's grinned.
"Thank you, teacher. All this is the result of our family's hard work. So now we can enjoy all this.”
"Oh that's good, Ma'am. If it is the result of sweats and tear, we will appreciate it more. If that's the case, can you make a donation for the school. We, the school, have made a fund raiser for a tahfiz school that burned down. So you can make a small contribution, right?"
Mom's frowned. She looked agitated. She's look anxious and then take a peek at the watch on her wrist.
"I'm sorry, teacher. I forgot today I have a meeting with the doctor."
Mom's immediately get up from her seat. I and Mr. Razak just look at her.
"Mom, why do you want to see a doctor for? Are you sick?" I ask.
Mom turning away.
"Oh this is a women pain. You don't have to know."
Mom then take her belongings and put on designer sunglasses on her face. She then continued to leave the house ignoring me and Mr. Razak.
Didn't even say goodbye.
Suddenly Mr. Razak burst out laughing. I frowned looking at Mr. Razak strange behavior.
"Why did you laugh, Mr. Razak?"
"No, nothing nothing, Aidan. Okay Aidan, I have to go home first."
I and Mr. Razak get up from our seats. I follow him up to the door.
"Thank you sir for today."
We both exchange smiles at the front door. But we are surprises by someone appearances at my front door.Download Novelah App
