06. THE RETURN OF NIGHTMARES
(Second Part )
Fred and Ryan were sitting on the edge of the hole where Abigail and Gembul fell, they could do nothing. Meanwhile, on the steps of the first floor, Andre, Robert and Yohana are faced with strange events. Liza was strange, she sat alone on the 5th step, sat back to them, sat down while bowing her head while shaking her body forward and backward, while his mouth is singing the song in a soft voice :
“If I return from my death ...
I hope the world smiles at me ...
Come, come to me, come to me,
That's where you find your fear,
Come, come to me ...
Your fear, my eternal source of life,”
Andre and the others were astonished, Liza had never sung that song all this time, let alone sung unnaturally like that and the lyrics were so strange, creepy, what's wrong with you?” tanyakanya. Liza did not reply, but rather her body swayed uncontrollably and continued to sing the song. Because there was no positive reaction from Liza, then, Yohana held onto Liza's body and brushed Liza's hair and covered her face.
Liza was screaming like a doormat.
Yohana and the others were surprised when they saw Liza's wild eyes and suddenly jumped into Yohana's body until they fell rolling from one rung to another. When their bodies touched the first floor Liza opened her mouth wide and moved snatching Yohana's neck.
Yohana cried out in pain, after pushing Liza's body hard back until it slammed, her right hand touching her neck that had shed blood. However, suddenly Liza's body jumped up, screaming hysterically, she lunged towards Yohana like a tiger about to pounce on its prey.
Yohana who still did not understand what happened to Liza, hurriedly moved away, however, liza's movements were really nimble and managed to grab her right leg and knew that Liza's teeth had already torn the meat on her calf. Yohana again cried out in pain, blood spurting out partially soaking the floor of the room. Hurry Andre and the others down while holding Liza's body before she could have her teeth act further. “Liza! What's wrong with you?!” asked Andre in a high tone.
Liza did not answer, but thrashed and her screams grew louder, she tried to release the hold of Andre and the others. I don't know where the power that was in his body came from, until he managed to escape from the grip of his friends. After successfully breaking away from the hands of her friends, Liza stood up while growling strangely while her eyes stared wildly and ferociously at Andre and the others, none of them dared to approach her. Knowing, everyone retreated his wild eyes towards Johana's body lying helplessly on the floor, and as he was about to head back towards Johana, Robert and Hanzel who have a larger stature than Andre already hold it very tight. Liza came back and tried to break away, but this time she was completely helpless. He just growled, and stared wildly at the people around him.
The commotion on the first floor, also heard by Fred and Ryan who was still on the 2nd floor. When they came down and saw the floor of the first room was a mess, they were surprised especially after seeing Liza who was in Robert's pit while acting strangely, you know they had something wrong with her. After making sure that Liza's condition was arguably safe, Fred looked at his friends as if he wanted to know what had happened. Robert laid Liza's body on one of the couches, then told her what had just happened. As soon as Robert was done with his explanation, everyone was silent while Ratna worked quickly to bandage the wounds on Johana's body.
The quiet and cold atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken by the sound of footsteps from the kitchen accompanied by the sound of heavy objects colliding with the floor.
Along with the opening of the kitchen room door, a raucous sound, like a suffocating sound shocked everyone, “Whoever enters this house, will not be able to escape the curse of the Spirit of the Dweller, he said,” All the eyes of the people who were in the room, turned their eyes to the origin of the voice. A hunchback, gray-haired, ugly-faced and black-clothed granny limped into the room, his pair of sharp eyes were like a pair of eagle eyes staring at the faces of the people in the room and horrifying anyone who looked at him. He is MAK BOLOT, his sudden appearance made everyone wonder.
“Curse ?” fred said almost simultaneously with his friends.
“What have we done ? We do not understand your words at all,” Hanzel laughed faintly, his words tinged with annoyance.
“If you don't believe my words, it's up to ! But, remember ... The time has come, he came and killed all of you!!!” mak Bolot said as he chuckled strangely, after which turning his body, walking out without caring for them anymore. Fred tried to prevent it, but, Hanzel grabbed her hand, “Let alone the senile old granny,” while all eyes looked at Grandma's back that was getting longer and farther away, <TAG1>, curiosity filled everyone's mind.
Fred let go of Hanzel's handle, “It can't be left. It seems like the person knows what exactly is going on in this house,”.
“I'm also curious, he came and went suddenly where he actually lived.” Said Robert.
“Good idea,” says Ryan.
“What do you mean, Ryan ?” ask Fred.
“Why don't we just follow him ? We can ask her about what happened in this house. Thus, we can unravel the mystery that is veiled in this house,” said Ryan. “You're good too, “ Andre chimed in.
Fred and his friends immediately split the task. Fred, Ryan and Andre go after Mak Bolot, while Hanzel and Robert look after Yohana and Liza who were unconscious while waiting for the house because they do not know when Abigail, Farid or Gembul appeared. “Alright, Hanz...we go first, if there is anything immediately contact me,” Fred said. “I give you a suggestion, you don't trust the old grandma too much!” Hanzel reminded. Fred brandished his right thumb, after which hurried to leave the place.
Fred, Andre and Ryan followed Mak Bolot from behind silently and finally arrived at a stone-walled house. The distance between the stone house with the main house is approximately 50 meters. The house was small, like a cottage with sturdy wooden pillars totaling four pieces as a buffer. Almost all the pages are overgrown with wild plants, however, neatly arranged. On its right grew a banyan tree that was quite tall, large and densely leafed, its long hair-like roots of creatures from the magical world hanging almost on every branch of the tree. The two trees stood solidly like the guardian of the stone house that became the residence of Mak Bolot. Mak Bolot limped towards the black and rusty iron fence which was the entrance to the courtyard of the house. After opening the gate, Mak Bolot turned his body and said loudly, “All of you, until when to hide in the bushes ? Come out, come in here,”
Fred and the others look at each other, even though they follow Mak Bolot secretly, however, Mak Bolot is aware of his presence. Therefore, while they blushed shamefully out of the bush that grew wild around the courtyard, but, after seeing the two banyan trees, suddenly their bodies shook violently, fear crawled her toes up to every hair on her head. The tree did not like their presence. Mak Bolot chuckled, after closing the gate, he stepped up the stone steps, the way towards the entrance of the stone house, while, Fred and his friends followed behind.
The door opened, a cold wind blew from the inside, hitting Fred's face and his friends, smelling the pungent smell of incense. Mak Bolot steps in followed by Fred and his friends. A long and rather large altar table was placed right in the middle of the room, on top of which there were all sorts of strange items such as seven-colored flowers, fruits, and fruits, and ‘sesajen’ stuff surrounds a photo of a beautiful girl in her 25s who is smiling and flanked by an incense stick with a few sticks of incense still burning, the smoke of the incense is what spread the fragrant smell around the room.
Mak Bolot laughed showing a row of black teeth neatly arranged and still complete again good, “He .. he.. he... he..., you came here to ask me for an explanation of the strange happenings in that house, didn't you?!” Fred and his friends gulped, “Be... Right, Mak,” replied Fred nervously.
Mak Bolot again chuckled, “Heh ... heh.... heh... heh.., I'm not sure if you can believe it or not,” while saying so he took a photo located in the middle of the altar carefully. His fingers rubbed the photo attentively, then brought it closer to Fred's face while saying again, “All the events you've experienced, are closely related to this woman,”
“Who is this woman, Mom ? What does this have to do with us ?” ask Fred.
"It seems that I have to tell you all the events that happened in this house" Mak Bolot's voice rattled, and he began to tell me.
