Chapter 8 - Bayangan Realitas (Part 8)

Fai & Isa: Love In The Fantasy World 1

Shadows of Reality (Part 8)

The night in their world felt quieter than usual. The sky, which was usually golden, now shimmered in deep blue hues with stars that seemed closer than ever.

Fai and Isa sat by the crystal-clear river, their hands still intertwined, but their minds filled with questions. The words of the guardian woman echoed in their thoughts.

"If you truly love each other… are you ready to face the reality beyond this world?"

Isa bit her lip. "Fai…"

"Hm?"

"Have you ever thought… what if one day we can't return here?"

Fai turned to her, gazing at Isa's face illuminated by the moonlight. "I don't want to think about that. This world exists because we believe in it."

"But…" Isa lowered her head. "What if something is waiting for us out there? Something bigger than this world?"

Fai fell silent. He knew Isa was right. Since their encounter with the guardian, something had changed in this world. As if their world was hiding a deeper secret.

"If there's something out there," Fai finally said, "then we'll face it together, just like we always do."

Isa smiled, though a trace of worry remained in her heart. But before she could respond, a voice echoed from within the glowing forest.

A whisper.

"Do you wish to know the truth?"

Isa and Fai immediately stood up, alert. From behind the trees, a figure emerged—a man with long black hair, eyes as sharp as knives, and a cloak that billowed as if wrapped in shadows.

Fai grabbed Isa's hand, ready to protect her. "Who are you?"

The man gave a faint smile. "I… am the one who can show you the way to reality."

Isa tensed. "What do you mean?"

The man took a step forward, and instantly, their surroundings changed. The sky, once deep blue, now swirled with glowing light, forming a vortex.

"You have been in this world for a long time," he said in a mysterious tone. "But have you ever questioned… if this world is truly real?"

Fai frowned. "Of course, it's real. We can feel it."

The man chuckled. "You can feel this… because you want to feel it."

Isa shook her head. "No… This world was created from our love. That's what the guardian told us!"

The man's smile widened. "And you believe that so easily?"

Fai and Isa fell silent.

"If you want to know the truth," the man continued, "come with me. I will show you the way to true reality."

Fai felt Isa tighten her grip on his hand. He knew that whatever awaited them, the answer could change everything.

But were they ready to face the truth behind their world?
