Nightmares And Abandoned Messages

"Hallo brother? What's up?"

"Mel, where are you?" Ask. His voice sounded very panicked.

"I'm in kosan. Why why?"

"Mel, listen carefully. You don't come to the forest anymore. You should stay away from that place..." The network is disrupted, so that the voice of Angga so not so clear.

"Hallo brother? Hello?" The connection was also cut. Leaving a big question mark about what happened to him and about his warning.

Suddenly the door of my room was knocked.

"Yours! Yoke! Yoke!"

"Who?" I waited until the voice behind the door answered.

"It's me, son Melya." I recognize that voice. That's the sound of Ningsih, the owner of this boarding house.

"Ohh. What's up?" Ask again.

"This. I want to tell you there's gonna be a power outage soon."

I got out of bed and walked to the door.

"Thank you for being told, ma'am." I said.

I was surprised when I opened the door. I did not see Bu Ningsih standing in front of my bedroom door. His voice had just been heard.

A moment later the lights went out. A couple who lived in the room next to me came out while I stood in front of the room.

"Well, the lights are off? Where has not finished the candle again." Said the woman.

Some of the residents below were also the same. The atmosphere was a bit noisy because of the sudden lights off.

My eyes turned to my room. The light from the streetlights infiltrated my room. Although it is not clear I know there is a figure sitting on my bed.

I slowly approached him.

"Ello?" My toot. But the shadow did not move or move. I got curious and approached again.

Suddenly his big hand came to my face. Before I could dodge the hand was already clutching my face and dropping me to the floor

My eyes were dark. I fell unconscious.

\*

I have to run. It should not stop along the path that only the tree looks, the further into the darker it gets.

I don't know where, don't know who to ask. Those people are chasing me. If I stop, they'll catch me again. That's why I have to keep running.

I finally fell down and kissed the ground. My feet can't run anymore. My knee hurt from the injury when I fell.

I ended up in front of a big old house. I saw a girl come inside.

"Wait!" I called, unfortunately the boy did not hear.

It just so happens that the fence is unlocked. The door is open too. I broke into the house. Maybe there's someone I can ask for help in there.

The house looked unkempt with a lot of dust everywhere. I explored room by room but there was no one I met.

Until I got to the back room. I let myself hear the voice.

Yoke! Yoke! Yoke! It was like someone was cutting hard.

"Don't go there!"

"Don't open!"

"Run! Quick run"

"Drew from there!"

The voices of the children who were crying out to each other overlapped me. Naas, my palm has already pushed that door.

I fell in fear and despair. Seeing the figure of a large man swinging his axe.

An axe that shone sharply with a thick red liquid dripping from the tip. While the same liquid pooled on the ceramic floor flowed all the way to the end of my feet.

The man realized I was watching him from behind. He turned around, and walked towards me. I want to scream but I can't. My voice was held back by a suffocating fear. Body shaking. But I couldn't escape from that place. It was as if the feet had been pitched in that place.

I cried silently with tears flowing.

I'm gonna die here. Without anyone knowing. Without anyone to find me.

The man swung his axe at me. My eyes turned red. My body fell helpless.

"Yeah! I soared up and breathed heavily. The sweat flooded me.

It felt really real as if I had really experienced it.

The view of the house looks familiar. But I don't remember I've been there. My heart was beating fast, and my breathing was irregular as if I had completely run out of breath.

I looked around the room. I'm still in my room. Lying on the bed. I remember the lights went out last night. And I saw a shadow and fell to the floor.

But right now I'm lying on my bed and my door is locked. Was last night just a dream?

Actually which one is a dream. Where reality. I don't get it.

I glanced at my phone. Auntie Yusi called me many times but I didn't hear it. I checked the message Aunt Yusi left. I can't believe the news he's telling me.

I rushed to call the office for a no-entry permit today. I decided to go home soon to make sure I heard.

Aunt Yusi hugged me while crying. While my mother accompanied him I walked into Angga's room. He saw his body lying on the bed.

Mom told me. About a week ago Angga pamit wanted to visit his place of acquaintance. No one was suspicious because he used to do this. He is known to have a wide association. He said he'd be gone in a few days.

For a week he had no news and could not be contacted by his other friends.

Then two days ago Angga was found unconscious on the side of the road. Not far from the forest.

Hearing that story I bit my lips off. My fault. Angga came to the forest alone because I told him. I've put him in danger.

The person I know is a strong person. He almost never got sick. Always calm and not complaining.

I think he's pretty good at dealing with problems related to supernatural beings. I've never seen him hurt like this. But now...

I held my face and held back my tears. Why is it always like this? Because of my carelessness, another person was hurt. Angga is my only brother. What am I supposed to do if he gets hurt and doesn't wake up?

"Swimming, Mel. The doctor said he was not in a dangerous condition. He'll be conscious soon." Mother said trying to calm me down while holding my shoulder.

"He's been lying there for two days, and hasn't even woken up yet." Sanggah Aunt Yusi sobbing.

Two days? Didn't he just call me last night. If he's been unconscious for two days, then who called me last night? Thought wondering.

I've been with Angga all day. But I can't get permission for more than a day. So I decided to go back to my boarding house.

I stopped by for a while to the village where I once got lost. The haunted forest is. I stood in front of the forest entrance.

For a moment my eyes were locked onto the male figure that was inside the forest.
