13. Second Thunder

Hearing what Rachel said, Sofia hesitated. She couldn't think straight at all. She had promised to help Rachel return to her original form, but when she found out that Rachel's condition was an item given by her husband, she simply couldn't make up her mind to carry out her intention.

Rachel, who saw Sofia's confusion, could only smile faintly. in her heart she promised to keep her guilty for what was said to her. but what is shown on her face is completely 180°. She made her face as sad as possible so that Sofia would be sure that she didn't want to bother her at all by having her own.

"You don't need to feel sad, Abi. I'm just answering questions right? Not asking you to obey everything that the witch has done."

"But I will become a completely useless human when I can't carry out my promise to others. Even though we've only just met, I felt uneasy when I promised to help you but I really don't know where in this that isn't it."

"I can find it myself. You don't need to worry. We are still friends even though you can't give me a mirror like what I want. Isn't that how a friend should treat her friend?"

Sofia felt herself cornered by Rachel's words. Rachel, who knew that I was currently hiding something, could only remain silent while waiting for the reaction of the woman in front of her. No prompt asking you that currently is actually stored in that house. everything she did was to make Sofia not feel at all that her existence was threatened in that house.

"I just passed some very beautiful scenery along my way from my place to your house. Would you like to accompany me to look around your house, Abi? It's been a long time since I have enjoyed the scenery on this earth. several times I asked Mother to allow me to travel by looking at the situation around me, but several times Mother forbade me on the grounds that there were so many dangers that were eyeing me."

Sofia smiled at Rachel's request. She was very excited at this time. She couldn't give the mirror she made in her house, but she was sure she could make Rachel's wish come true to go around the village to see the situation and the beauty of nature in it. Sofia got up from her seat and reached out her hand asking to climb into her arms.

' Don't waste a day, otherwise it will be late afternoon. It's not good for a woman like me to be out of the house when it's dark. and again the scenery around us will only look black without any color variations at all when we are outside at night. Let's go now. I will take you to some places and powers that are very much ours to satisfy my curiosity about this earth."

" Is that true? You will take me around the village and introduce me to all the residents?"

"With pleasure, Rachel. I will introduce you to some of my relatives today. I'm sure they will be happy to receive you."

Rachel immediately climbed into Sofia's arms and with a cheerful face she looked around. She behaved as if she was enjoying the view of the village. Even though what happened She is currently finding out what the villagers are currently doing to enable her to influence them to replace Sofia even deeper than before.

"There are a lot of empty houses at the moment. Do they really not want to leave the house?"

"Actually they have never done anything like this before. but ever since the thunder that sounded earlier this afternoon, they had absolutely no desire to sit around in the courtyard as usual. They believe that when the thunder sounds during the day there is a request from a clean and pure heart that will be granted by the ruler of Kayangan. They are still worried that there will be a second lightning strike that will strike one of the villagers as payment for the fulfillment of the request of that purer human being."

"Is it really like that? Are they afraid for their family for believing in something that has never happened before? I wonder what makes them scared? no afternoon there is no second thunder sounds right? Does that mean they will stay home until tomorrow? if that happens it means they don't care about their health at all?"

Sofia frowned at Rachel's question. She didn't understand the point of the question at all. She wanted to ask a question to the cat in her grasp but before she could say her sentence, the cat suddenly screamed.

"Please save me from this woman! Whoever you are at home, please come out! This woman is going to harm me by taking me out of the house to get me struck by a second bolt of lightning."

Sofia shook her head. Her hands loosened in reflex when he heard Rachel accuse her of harming herself in order to be conveyed by the two by asking her out of the house. Several times she tried to release the cat but Rachel was really very cunning. She remained in the carrier regardless of Sofia's attempts to let her go. Several times the cat screamed, making the people at home curious and they left the house. When everyone was in the yard suddenly a second thunder sounded and struck one of the villagers.

"Hey you bitch. You deliberately made us leave the house so that the king of heaven would be angry with us and send a second bolt of lightning to strike the people? Look! This child is completely innocent. He died because of you and you have to take responsibility."

Hearing what one of the residents said, Sofia turned very pale. She couldn't believe that what she was doing at this time made everyone more angry with her. She also never thought Rachel would actually make herself miserable and ostracized by her own neighbors.
