#9

The clock has shown at 18:30, I am late to go home because I have to accompany Mama for a walk without a destination... I was tired of having to accompany him after work all day, I was tired and wanted to rest immediately. Earlier, after the streets he wanted to take me out again somewhere, I had to refuse... No matter if he's angry or not, I have to go home...

I drove my motorbike as fast as I could, down the dark streets. 20 minutes later the wheels of my motorbike were already on the road connecting my house with the main road.

At this hour, the area began to be quiet and quiet, the lights on the side of the road seemed lazy to illuminate a row of banyan trees that were quite thick and gigantic. The trees were like giant guards from another world that made no one dare to pass through. I'm used to going through those streets, but I don't know why I'm still scared.

I'm increasing the speed of my motorcycle, I don't want to linger in that place. But suddenly I stepped on the brake pedal while a hundred meters in front of me stood a white shadow.

The figure was silent like a statue, but, when I pulled my motorcycle lights, it disappeared. I shook my head, although I was curious about the white shadow, I did not want to waste any more time, I had to get home soon.

The roar of my motorbike broke the silence, the bike I was riding immediately split the wind, breaking through the darkness.

After being shaken in the motorcycle saddle for about 15 minutes, I arrived at the gate of the house. I let out a sigh of relief, after opening the gate and entering my motorcycle, Murni was suddenly right in front of my nose.

"Pure, what's wrong with you... You just surprise me" I said.

Purely did not reply, he was silent while his pair of sharp eyes were watching me, as long as he worked in this place, he indeed never laughed or smiled though. He just looked at his interlocutor with a sharp gaze, sometimes I felt afraid to look into his eyes for a long time, like there was a magical power that made me shudder in horror.

"Miss is home" he said flat and cold.

"How are Ditha and Felix ?" my many.

"They're fine,"

"That's not what I mean, have you prepared a meal for them,"

"They don't want to eat until the lady gets home,"

"That means they haven't eaten in the afternoon, huh?" I have a little emotion.

"They won't eat when I tell them to,"

"alright... Where are they now ?" my many.

"At Bi Yusi's house from this afternoon,"

"What exactly do they want ? Pure... I'm asking for help... Go to Bi Yusi to pick him up," I said trying my best to control my emotions.

"Well," said Murni and as he was about to step out of the gate it appeared that Mas Reksa and Mbah Alas, Ditha and Felix were also there.

That's when I saw Pure hastily leave the place but, "You're named Pure, right ?" Mbah Alas called out to him, "Wait a minute, nduk,"

Like not hearing Mbah Alas's call, Pure continued to walk expressionlessly, I suddenly became annoyed at his behavior, "Pure !" I cried, "This is your attitude towards parents ?! Can't you respect me or at least look at me as the host,"

"Purely, I know who you really are, so you can't hide your true identity as a kuntilanak" exclaimed Mas Reksa, "What exactly has he promised you that you would be his slave,"

Pure stopped his steps, while Mas Reksa gestured me to get closer to him, I according, as I was already standing behind him, the woman turned around. His gaze was cold and empty like there was no life there, he turned his gaze towards me as well as Ditha and Felix.

"Hi... Hii... Hii... Hi.." -..." Pure suddenly laughed horribly, "Who are you, what do you know about me... Hii... Hii... Hi.." -..."

"Pure. Tell us what he promised you so that you could hang out in this place,"

Pure's eyes were sharp cold and piercing suddenly, my hair was shaking violently, while Felix and Ditha held my hands firmly. They hide behind my back.

"Hi. hi.. hi.. hi.... He promised to give me back my son and bring us both back to life... I was willing to give myself to serve the woman, but, until now, she had reneged on her promise. So, I determined to kill the woman and take the Ditha in exchange for my son. Sweet child come here, aunt will take you for a walk to a pleasant place, Hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. hi..." Pure Hand extended towards Ditha, but, Mbah Alas had already blocked him.

"I know you love and love your son... But no one can bring to life the dead. He has ruined your happiness, should you ruin the happiness of others in this world... Listen, worldly affairs, let it be settled by the living, your nature is different... Come back to your realm, we will help you with prayer that you and your son may regroup there,"

After Mbah Alas said so Pure fell before him, "Thank you, Mbah," he said as he lowered his head deeply as I saw a golden yellow light in his crown. Mbah Alas let out a long sigh and groped towards that golden-yellow thing.

"That man is evil, put a nail on your head. Let me help you pluck out your nails so that you can return to the origin quietly," after saying so, Mbah Alas' mouth was muttering. The next second, a 75 cm long, golden-yellow object came out of his head. "Thank you, Mbah. hi..hi.hi.hi..hi...hi..." Pure then stood up, now his face looked pale, he had returned to his original form and slowly disappeared while, Mbah Alas still chanting prayers and praise to Allah SWT.

"Actually, he has been following you from the first time he entered this area, nduk," said Mbah Alas.

"really ?" I asked, suddenly I remembered a woman in white who was standing in front of me a few minutes ago while in the middle of the forest.

"That's the real Pure person, it's a good thing that your sisters first learned of his arrival" said Mas Reksa, "If not, they may have been lost for days by being kidnapped by him. She was indeed deliberately sent by him to make you suffer, Thia,"

"Tell me who he is, ma'am.... I can't hold myself anymore. You guys always hide it from me, what's the matter exactly ?!"

"Relax, nduk... All of this is for your good as well as for the sake of protecting you," said Mbah Alas.

"Protect me from what, Mbah ?! Please don't make me curious anymore. I'm fed up with this and it has to end soon,"

"Alright, Thia... I will tell you now" said Mas Reksa who then turned to Mbah Alas to ask for approval. And, what he said made me flinch. I can't believe that the one who's trying to destroy my happiness is him. And, I just realized the reason they hid it from me.
