1000 Days
Chapter 23

Sri closed the door, locked it, she was too tired tonight.what she saw, she wanted to forget in her sleep.

when Sri closed her eyes.

someone stroked her hair to see who was disturbing her sleep.

"Dela" Sri said as she looked at it.

"sticky" (how can)

"i, ket want to nang jeroh your room loh Sri, nang nisor shadowmu, wong tuwek iku, do not goleki me right"

(i was actually in your room under your bed, exactly what the old man was still looking for me)

"i jalok please, sak iki, nyowomu nang tangane wong tuwek iku, your grandmother obey me, your crew isok selamet, and not duduhi trouble, you percoyo ambek I dok"

(i ask for help, now, your life is in the hands of the Mbah, if you obey what I say

you will survive, and not tell me the source of the problem, you believe me)

"please opo" asked Sri doubtful.he still remembered how he made the fatal mistake.

"obongen umbrella pendusan iku gawe me" (burn the umbrellas of the dead man, for me)

Dela stepped away, she gave Sri a final look, as if convinced, Sri would do it

Night, getting late, Sri saw a car coming, Sugik. said Sri watched from the window, Mbah Tamin and Dini, stepped into the car, they went from this residence

Sri just sat in, where they went, and why he was not invited to go, all this suddenly reminded him of the message Dela, his life is in hand, the mbah

although hesitating, Sri opened the door, she saw Dela, smiling, standing in front of the room, as if, waiting for her.

Sri and Dela walked through the house, she went to the kitchen, looking for matches and kerosene, then, began to walk in the darkness of the night

The moon is not showing up, Sri stands, at the corner of a fence, there is a small green umbrella, "pusso umbrella" said Sri

Sri doused the umbrella, burned it, every blazing fire, Dela laughed at it, she was dancing

Sri was like participating in every whisper of Dela when she pointed anywhere, the umbrella was hidden, and every one of the umbrellas was on fire, Dela danced, spread her hands, laughed so happily, until, Sri stared, the last umbrella

the umbrella, located right in front of the painting

Sri stopped, he looked again at the painting, paying attention to every detail who was painted in a color palette that seemed familiar in Sri's eyes, what the meaning of the painting was, as it were, as it were, know who's in the painting

until, Sri just understood something, but Dela arrived2 whispered

"kok doubt Sri"

Dela looked at Sri, watching her, from toe to head, her gaze, gave Sri goosebumps, she was still smiling, forcing Sri to do so

"wes realized yo, sopo me" (already realized yes, who I am)

Sri inched back, however, Dela continued to approach him

Sri immediately ran, while Dela just looked at him just like that, she did not know what2, not until she was sure now, she understood everything

why did he get here, who are Sengarturih and Banarogo really, and this place, all this is?!

Sri tripped, fell

Sri crawled, then, she hid

Dela just came, the sound of her footsteps, her shadow when passing through, as if making Sri almost lose her mind, Sri kept silent, Dela will not know where she is

before, "SRI"

Dela pulled Sri's hair, grabbed her

Sri fought as much as she could, however, she could not face the forces that came out of nowhere, Dela like a possessed person, the way she hit Sri's face with the palm of her hand, making Sri's face battered, even, the way, he stepped on Sri's face with his feet
