A GROAN OF FLICKERS IN THE NEXT ROOM
01

Today as usual Danu and Ria went to one of the mountains near Java Island to perform the ritual that the old man ordered. Every month, they endlessly have to buy a buffalo for them to grow when the creatures that make it rich want food so as not to take the treasures they have collected.

Yes, it can not be denied if indeed the pesugihan Danu and Ria did for 20 years they did have made both of them become the richest people in his village.

Fresh blood dripping on the buffalo's neck, they were contained in a small container to perform the next ritual. Without fear or disgust, the two were so calm as to slaughter a buffalo in front of him and then drink the blood he had collected.

Habits that they have been doing for a long time, make him not the least bit nauseous with the smell of carnation that ripples around the place. The old man whom they had been calling as the Mbah, continued to recite a slow reading with his eyes closed and hands unceasingly rubbing against each other.

Sometimes he held incense and ate some flowers, and spewed water toward the fire that was burning in front of him. The forest was quiet and dark, not making the three feel frightened or cold.

"Take that blood and as usual you close your eyes and bow as a sign of respect for the coming demon" the monk ordered in a firm tone.

"Good mba"

Both are seen squatting on the ground with their eyes closed and their bodies leaning as if they were prostrating.

A strong wind, as well as a heavy sound of laughter began to echo throughout the forest. The sound of animal animals is not heard in the slightest when the creepy-voiced figure begins to come toward the three humans who have lost their way in the wrong way.

"GIVE ME A HUMAN FALLOW"

The heavy sound coming out of the mouth of the hairy creature in front of the three suddenly made Danu stunned and did not believe in the shaman.

"But all this time the agreement was only about a sesajen and a buffalo! I don't want to if you ask me to subvert a human" Danu whose emotions interrupted the words of the creepy creature before him.

"HAHAHAHA YOU WANT TO GET RICHER BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE ME A HUMAN TUMBAL! ALL RIGHT, I TOOK YOUR WIFE SO I COULD HAVE A KUNIK*MATI!"

Rebena just opened her eyes and looked at the husband so as not to let the creepy creature take her let alone enjoy*dead his body. Disgust is certainly felt. But she believes in Danu that it is impossible for her husband to give himself to the devil.

"Why did he ask for such a strange thing, huh?! you said he wouldn't ask for another human impact"

"I don't know if this is gonna happen again. It's possible that you're too greedy to make a creature that you've been telling to help your efforts to become greedy and want human growth!" The man who felt he did not want to be blamed defended himself.

What he has done so far has made him so trivial about his alliance and agreement with the creepy figure. There's no other choice for Danu right now. His little heart refused not even wanting anyone to be the result of his wealth all this time.

The incident used to be quite traumatized by someone who he first fell in the first year he did the pesugihan.

"IF YOU DON'T AGREE TO IT, I'LL TAKE YOUR WIFE RIGHT NOW. I'VE BEEN FEELING SO PROUD**H TO SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE"

the creaking figure is seen sticking out his tongue which can be estimated to reach 4 meters in length.

"Mas! I wouldn't want to be asked*** by such a disgusting creature!" ria shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes mas also do not want if you have to sleep with him. All right, I'll give him a human crash. But give me time to find the right person to fall for"

He loved Ria very much and did not willing if the wife should also belong to a creature that has given her abundant treasure as it is today.

His mind began to wander in search of someone he had to crush on the devil. His heart seemed to reject this commandment because he could not bear to take one's soul for the creature to eat because he knew that it was possible that the person Danu grew up with had a family to be happy with. But his fear and attachment to the creature could not be cut off until he died.

"IF YOU GIVE ME YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE, I'LL GIVE YOU MORE"

"No! I'll never give it to you!"

"HAHAHAH WELL THEN. YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE VERY MUCH. EVEN WITH THE MONEY YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN BUY ANY WOMAN YOU HAVE. REMEMBER THAT! BRING ME A HUMAN FALL NEXT WEEK. YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME HERE, YOU CAN MARK THE PERSON YOU WANT TO SLAP FOR ME WITH THE MONEY YOU GAVE ME WITH A SYMBOL OF ME. THE SYMBOL I HAVE"

After the terrible creature left, Danu now rises and blames the shaman who has been helping him get this wealth.

"You're not saying that he's going to ask for human beings again? you seem to raise your hand with this business. You're a shaman or what, huh?!"

"You told me to help your poor family's economy become a rich man now. You blame me like I wanted you to be rich. I'm not dealing with a madman like you. Now you do this ritual alone!"

Danu who was afraid of a worse threat than the devil, with a heavy heart apologizing to the shaman and asked him to continue to guide the ritual of pesugihan he had been doing with his wife.

The wealth that he had obtained so far was the result of his trap allied with the creepy demon. Although it is heavy for him to overthrow innocent people, but the path he has chosen will be able to make his ritual end. As long as it is not his own family, then he will obey the request of the devil as long as the reply is commensurate.

The Mbah who helped her all this time was furious because of the arrogance Danu danu had and made her a little indifferent to the apology from the man. However, he is already bound by responsibility for the payment Danu did to him.

"I'll help you again as long as you have to find me a virgin for my ritual sacrifice"

"What! so Mbah also wants a human impact on me?! are you out of your mind, huh?!"

"You never dare to yell at me! if you don't want to find a mash-up for my ritual, then I'll take my hands off if anything happens to your business or to your family's life. I'm sick of greedy people who don't know themselves like you!"

Ria patted her husband's shoulder and began to whisper softly in his ear.

"I'll find a virgin for the Mbah. You just calm yourself. Don't be rash, I don't want to fall poor let alone have to die before I enjoy all my money"

Danu again muted his anger and began to agree on the terms that he wanted.

Late at night, until the early hours have come Danu and Ria can only go home in exchange for the usual red stone that he must keep in one of the branches of the store that he just opened. Drowsiness that began to attack Ria, making him a little sleepy in the car until not long after he fell asleep in a terrible dream that always frightened him.

"You are a bad woman! you're the heart of the devil! you're a demon, and yet you're far more terrifying than him" the shrill voice of a woman with black eyeballs and long, irregular hair seemed to make her feel frightened.

"I just want to be rich and you're my way of getting it. I don't care what happens to you you're dead! and I can't hurt her" Ria walked backwards until she was hit by a padlock.

A pale hand with dirty long nails has now been on the neck of the seductive beautiful woman. The chuckle on her neck managed to make Ria difficult to breathe and make her able to see clearly the face of a creepy figure in front of her filled with wriggling maggots and peeling skin. The figure's mouth was now wide open until his long tongue was now licking every inch of Ria's face.
