"Hello, Riri? What's up?"
"Mel, help me! I'm so scared! I want to get out of here but he's at the door. I should how?" riri said while sobbing. His voice sounded trembling. I jumped from my bed and sat down on the side of the bed.
"Wait Riri! I don't get it! Where're you?" my many.
"I'm at school" he replied.
"Acschool? You sure?"
"Yes!"
"How can you?"
"I don't know. When I woke up I was already here. I want to get out but I can't. He's standing at the door and wants to catch me." Riri's voice sounded panicked.
"Riri calm yourself! I'll be there soon with help. So you don't have to be afraid anymore" I said calmly.
"How long?"
"It won't be long. I promise I'll come soon."
I hung up and called Angga again. This time he lifted it.
"Sister, when are you coming home?" ask directly.
"I'm on my way home, a little more until."
"good. Follow me to school!"
"Hey, you're going to school at night like this. What's going on?"
"Riri just called me. He's at school. I have to help him get out of there."
"Can't! No, I'm not letting you go out there alone!"
"Sister!?" my voice raised, "Riri needs my help. You want me to shut up?!"
"If you help Riri, who will help you?"
"Therefore I called you. I want you to catch up with me after you get home. I'm not going alone either, brother. I'll ask the school guard to go find Riri with me."
"It's just too dangerous! I still need time to get there. Wait till I get there, we go together," stop Angga.
"I'm not sure the time will be enough. The creature wants Riri's body to be his container in order to get out of the school, so he takes Riri to school. He influences Riri's mind, making her experience delusions. As a result Riri stayed away from the people around him and vice versa."
"But Riri came to me so many times and asked me for help, I ignored him and couldn't believe his words. My fault! If only I had realized it sooner.."
"It's not your fault, Mel. You've done what I can."
"Therefore I must help him at this time. That's all I can do now."
"All right, I get it. But what are you gonna do? You've never dealt with a person possessed by a subtle creature before."
"That's what I meant to call you, brother. Teach me how to handle it!"
I heard Angga sighing heavily across the phone.
"Best brother! You want me to teach you on the phone and practice it live? What's his name if it's not suicide?"
"Don't overdo it! I will not die for that! I'm sure it'll be okay!"
"Don't underestimate them!" snapped Angga. I was surprised because this was the first time Angga sounded angry at me.
"If you want to deal with supernatural beings like them, you better be vigilant because anything can happen even things outside of logic. You also need to be able to control your fear. Your fear will be a pleasure to them. That's the basic thing you should know. Do you understand?"
What I caught from Angga's warning, I must not be arrogant nor be afraid. I should be able to control myself well if I want to deal with them.
"Okay, I get it."
"Water? Not yet! I haven't drunk it yet. Can it be used?" my many.
"Yes, I should be able to. Actually that water is to stabilize your strength and cleanse your body after your trip the other day to the supernatural world. The water could also be used to cleanse the bodies that the refined creatures approached. Sprinkle it on your friend's body!"
"Cush it? Isn't that for drinking?" I'm a little confused.
"It would be nice if you could make him drink that water. Unfortunately, most of the cases that occur, the victims must have refused to drink the water. If you can't pour that water on her. That thing will stay away from that body for a while."
"Will water be enough? What percent is the probability of success?"
"Maybe it worked. I'm also not sure because I didn't see the child's condition directly."
"So far Riri is still fine. He was still talking normally to me. The subtle-beings had not yet managed to completely control themselves. I'm sure it is."
"Then the water can still be used. But remember it's only temporary."
"It's okay. That'sthat's enough. I just need to separate it from while I solve the problem."
"Did you know why some subtle-creatures are trapped in school?" ask Angga.
"Yes, less is more. I made you know in a short message. You haven't read it?'
"I haven't been able to check the incoming messages."
While calling I went down to the kitchen. I've been wearing a Hoodie with training pants.
"Ma, where was the water given by Angga's sister?"
"If it's not wrong, you put it in the fridge, baby."
"Why put it in the refrigerator?" my protest.
"You like to drink cold water. That's why I put it in the fridge."
Geez! Water to purify the spirit is even put into the refrigerator. My mother was the only one who could do that. No wonder he fought so often with grandfather.
I checked the two-door refrigerator. There is no door down. Mom put it in the freezer? I murmured in my heart. Sure enough when I opened the door to the refrigerator. I found a water bottle that Angga meant. Unfortunately the water inside was frozen.
"Frozen?!!" seruku shocked. "Sister, the water's frozen. How can I use it? Don't you have any backup?"
"There's another one in my house."
"I'll take it."
"Ma, I'm going to Angga's!" pamitku to mom. I ran out of the house.
Arriving at Angga's house the door was locked. And the house is dark. It turns out Aunt Yusi is leaving.
"It looks like you have no choice but to wait for me" Angga said.
"I'll be waiting for you at school. Follow me as soon as possible." I said and hung up.
I called one more person on my way to school. He's the only one who could possibly stop the ghost.
"Hello, Eli. Sorry to bother you at night. It's emergencies. I need you to do something for me. Riri's safety depends on this."
After I finished talking I went to the school guard's house, Mr. Mong. I knocked on the door but the owner did not come out. I banged on the door of the house hard. Shortly after, the middle-aged man appeared and opened the door.
"Sir Mong, please help me. My friend called me when she was locked in the school. Please accompany me to pick him up."
Mr. Mong who was still confused just scratched his head as if he was thinking that what I said was just a joke.
"I mean it, sir! If you don't believe you can come with me to make sure of yourself. But please help me!" I said begging me again. He just kept quiet looking at me.
How'this? Only mung sir holds the school key. How do I get into school if Mr. Mong doesn't want to go with me?
