"What are you guys doing? Whispers in a quiet place. Ckcc. Suspicious," said Fendi then walked up to them, but soon left the living room until it reached the kitchen.
Derry and Armand looked at each other. Both have the same fear. But luckily their fear did not really happen. Fendi returned to the front with another knife.
"Lo what the hell? Just turn back," said Derry trying to be ordinary.
"Here, change the knife. That was not sharp," said Fendi while showing the object in his hand.
"Oh. Change knives. No one is ripe yet, huh? I'm hungry" said Derry, stroking his slightly distended stomach.
"Someday the corn will ripen. Come on, ahead," Fendi asked. He walked forward first, but as he passed through Armand, Fendi looked at a sinister glance. Even a glimpse of Armand could see a grin on his friend's face.
"Come, Man. Forwards. Instead of suspecting us later," asked Derry.

Tonight feels different. They had dinner outside. Not a fancy cafe or restaurant, but a terrace house with a dark forest and garden background. No fear or anything like that. All they have in mind is to have fun. All because they rarely do things like this. Busy with campus activities, coupled with the kkn they have just lived, make them not taste the beauty of the holiday.
Grilled corn, grilled cassava, and roasted yam have begun to mature. Some even went into their stomachs. Moreover, they had a hard day. A joint proker that must involve all of them, with a large capital of energy, to correct a large intake of nutrients. They may not interfere in the manufacture of wells and public bathrooms. Only capitalize on money to pay idle villagers to build it. But if it is done then they will take a very long time. While the activities of KKN only lasted 3 months. They must also divide between group proker and individual proker. All must be completed exactly 3 months, even as much as possible before 3 months all must be in order.
"Finally my guitar is useful here, too" Dolmen said.
He took out a guitar that was deliberately brought in from the beginning. Several times Dolmen often use the guitar if you are smoking on the porch. But because of the disruption that often appears makes him reluctant to linger long on the terrace. Therefore, his guitar is rarely used. Usually at this hour, they are also already on top of the bed. Although not sleeping, just unwind, but it has become their daily routine. But tonight is all different. Even they laughed all night, as if forgetting all the problems in the village. Even the place they deliberately avoid at night, it becomes a comfortable place tonight.
Armand could laugh. Especially when Derry began to mark it with a guyonan is not important, but still memorable. It seems like he is indeed lacking entertainment, so that Derry's chattering which is usually crisp, it becomes a joke that makes their laughter loose.
Mey suddenly remained silent. His attitude was very clear because before he was still laughing loosely like the others. Mey was just silent, sitting staring ahead with a blank look. Dolmen who saw the first change in Mey's attitude, then patted the hands of friends next to her. Automatically they all fell silent while looking in the direction that Dolmen pointed. They could also immediately feel Mey's change in attitude.
"Mey, why are you?" asked Khusnul who sat closest to him.
But the question did not get an answer. Mei still remained silent while looking towards the front. Again Khusnul held Mei's hand and shook it slightly.
"Mey, what's wrong with you? Mey? The imey? Hey!"
Khusnul's hand shake was stronger than before, after seeing no change from his friend's expression. They started to panic and now surrounded Mey with questions.
"Damahihi!"
Mey suddenly laughed in a shrill voice. Everyone immediately stood away from him. Even Khusnul who initially remained on the side of Mei, was immediately pulled by Rahma and Indi. They were sure that something was wrong with Mei.
"Duh, another trance son!" Dolmen.
"Why then? That feeling is okay, right?" ask Indy.
" Is it possible because we are noisy? They don't like it!" Ike hatch.
"Well, really! Could be tuh. Because we have never believed this before. Every night we go straight into the house and never come out the terrace again after the appearance of the house," pointed out Cendol.
" How are you going? Should we just shut up?" ask Rahma.
" are we going to Sobri's house?" tanya Khusnul asked his friends for approval.
"Enough! Don't mention the guy's name anymore! Not enough what? the information I told you all? He is unbelievable!" erang Armand began to raise his tone.
" How is dong?"
"But it doesn't seem like he's doing anything weird" Ike said.
"Yes really. If he's getting weird, we'll tie him up normally!" added Derry.
"What are you doing? Why not bring me?" mey asked as she looked at everyone one by one with a deep gaze.
Automatically the people who were stared at by Mei became inching backwards in fear. Because they certainly know that the one who spoke was not Mey but the creature who now possessed her.
"Who are you? What do you want to get into my friend's body? You better get out of her body!" armand said firmly.
" what am I going for? After all, this is very easy for me to enter. I just want to join this show with you guys" he said with a scary grin.
" sorry that we might be bothering you. But please get out of my friend's body and we will end this event and now go inside the house" Sule said.
" what's it ending for? I actually like. Don't end it quickly. But I have to come. I haven't sung in a long time. Whoa, burnt cassava. From far away I have smelled it and longed to eat it."
The figure that was inside Mei's body suddenly immediately took the burnt cassava that was still inside the furnace. Though the cassava is still very hot even the fire is still burning. Automatically all the friends around shouted and tried to block What was about to be done by him. Of course it will be Mei's hand that will be hurt. But when they want to prevent that figure in your body actually glared while incubating. It was as if he did not like what they were doing.
"I just want to eat grilled cassava!" he said with a heavy voice. His sharply glaring eyes gave a more terrible impression coupled with neck veins that poked out. Even Mei's originally pure white face turned pale. Coupled with muscle lines that were clearly visible all over his face.
Mey's hand actually held the Bakr cassava without feeling any pain at all. The cassava is then peeled and immediately eaten in hot conditions. He eats very well. It is not enough to just one piece of cassava. Because now he's starting to pick up the second piece of cassava.
"Hey, let him go!" armand.
Karman, who feels responsible for the safety of his friends, begins to act. She gets up from sitting and pulls Mei's hand so she stops her movement to pick up the burnt cassava again. Even if the creature's power is strong enough, Arman tries to hold it.
" get the rope! We need to tie him up right now!" armand Jokes.
Dolmen ran into the house. While Sule, Deri and cendol also hold hands and feet Mei. He was trying to get away from Arman.
"MEN, CHICK!" jerrit Derry's.
Mei's energy is getting stronger and stronger and now the four of them are starting to be overwhelmed by holding it. Dolmen is not out of the house yet.
"Start! I'm after dolmen!" Khusnul. He then ran into the house. But suddenly the sound of screams from inside made them all turn to the house.
"Well, why else?" ask Sule.
"No! Khushnul! Why lo?" ask Armand.
" please, dolmen passed out!" Jerit Khusnul's.
"Well! Fainted? How could it be?" ask Cendol.
"Let me see" said Ike.
"Eh, come, Ke!" indy's screams then followed in with Rahma.
As soon as they got inside the house, suddenly another scene was precisely visible at this time. The shadow of those who say that the dolmen fainted, just does not match the reality. Because now the sight that was seen in front of them was precisely Dolmen strangling Khusnul neck. The girl's body was raised high up against the wall. Dolmen who was still focused on Khusnul then turned his head when the three girls appeared. He grins.
"Wait for your turn!" dolmen said threateningly.
Suddenly the three of them certainly screamed in fear and then again ran towards the front. But when it will get to the terrace suddenly There is another figure that blocks the front door. She is a woman wearing a red dress. What the creature did was deliberately so that the three of them could not get out of the house and were trapped in the house.
"Please!" scream them together.
The three of them stopped in the living room, between the rooms they occupied.
"Hey! Wh why? Why did you stop there?" ask Derry who can see what's going on inside. Surprisingly, Derry did not see the figure of the woman in the red dress. Though the figure was still behind the door, standing with a hideous smile.
"That! It! There's kuntilanak!" Ike screamed while pointing towards the door.
The men who were still holding Mey started to worry. Because their other friends are not safe either. They are confused about what to do.
"Fen, you know how to diem anyway! Help them!" scream Cendol.
They had forgotten about the one person who had only been a spectator since. Even he was just sitting on a chair near the furnace of fire. His calm and relaxed attitude seems to not show empathy. It's beyond reason. Really weird. That's when they started to believe it wasn't Fendi.
"Yes God! What other trials are these! Why so fucked up!" said Derry.
"Man, we can't keep believing. Pity the others" said Sule.
"What should we do now?" ask Cendol.
"Eat! I'm hungry! I want to eat!" Mey again made the atmosphere become more turbid.
Armand's confused. He's desperate too. But suddenly he remembered the incident in Goa earlier. Right now no one can help them. Moreover, the disturbance that occurred tonight was truly extraordinary. Not only one person who was possessed and other disorders that befell his friends made Arman again take the initiative to call the figure.
The figure of the White Tiger that Arman first saw when in the cave earlier, is a figure owned by his ancestors. Arman's father once told a story. The story is about the family lineage that was once underestimated by Arman because he was a person who thought rationally.
'We are still descendants of blue blood. Our ancestors were Sundanese nobles. You know for yourself how the ancients. It is so full of culture and mystery. Your ancestors had a pet, the white tiger. It is said that such creatures will continue to accompany family members to posterity. In our family it has become a tradition that each generation will be selected 10 people who have special abilities. Usually they can cure diseases or may be sensitive to other creatures.'
'who is Dad? Ah, not me either, right?' ask Armand.
' You know the reason why you didn't become one of those 10 people?' ask Armand's father.
'Know. Because I don't believe in any of that.'
Arman's father smiled when he heard the answer from his son.
'Well, right. But you'll see later because your descendants will carry on this legacy.'
That's the brief conversation that happened when Arman was still sitting on the bench SMU. Arman is stupid. He was the only son of Sastro who was the most rational. It's just that it becomes unique to Arman.
Arman spoke the mantra again. He no longer cares about the principles that he has always upheld since long ago. All he had in mind now was to save his friends. And he couldn't do that alone. He realized he needed someone else, not even someone else but another being on his side.
After saying the spell as much as three times Arman looked around. Until a few seconds passed he did not find the presence of the white tiger.
"Lo why, Man?" ask Cendol.
"Hem? No way. It's nothing!" armand.
Suddenly there was the sound of a car approaching them. They all turned towards the road.
"Oh God! That must be Daniel!" screeched Derry with glassy eyes.
Well, that car was Arman's. The car that they were very hopeful of his presence at the moment and it turned out he was coming just in time. Cendol and Deri kept screaming for Daniel. They are very happy because they feel they are getting help that suddenly comes. And sure enough when the car stopped right in front of the house, Daniel came out with two people who were his age and one person who was much older than them.
Daniel beristighfar ran to his friends. " This is why?" he asked when he saw Mey continue to be held by them.
"Udah. The story later! that helps those inside!" scream Cendol.
"Huh? Them too? Astagfirullah!" Daniel ran into the house. But suddenly he was detained by two people who had come with him.
"Don't! Let us just!" said one of them.
" just hold that person" said Daniel's friend, pointing at Fendi.
Daniel looked at Fendi with a confused look. Because right now what seems normal about everything is Fendi. But come to think of it only Fendi also looked strange because she could be that calm when she saw the commotion that was happening around her.
The middle-aged man who came with Daniel then approached Mey. His right hand held the prayer beads and then pressed them against Mey's forehead. He prayed, and in a flash May screamed. It was as if something had been pulled from the top of his head. In an instant Mei suddenly fell down like a body that had no bones. They grabbed Mey and placed her on the porch. In the chaos, Arman sees a person entering the house from the tail end of his eyes. He was neither a human nor any other monstrous creature but a white tiger. Suddenly the middle-aged man was glancing towards Arman with a smile.
"So he told me to get here as soon as possible" he said.
Arman was speechless just looking at the man with a puzzled look because Armand had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
"Ust, who's inside how?" ask Daniel.
"You guys are trying to handle it. Try not to let the person who is being possessed hurt others. Because the source of all this chaos is just him," said the middle-aged man.
Those who heard that were certainly surprised and also looked at Fendi with astonished looks. Daniel goes in with Cendol and Sule. The screams from the girls made them become even more panicked. Moreover, one of them continued to call out the name Khusnul. Arman, who does not know what the process is going on in the house, is only interested in Fendi. Because actually since the beginning Arman has felt the strangeness in Fendi all day. Of course he was very interested when there were people who had the same opinion as him when that person had only met Fendy at that place for the first time.
" Who are you?" ask the man called Ustad by Daniel. He seemed to casually ask that to Fendy. They were sitting next to each other on a large rock in front of the terrace.
"Ah, are you pretending not to know or do not know?"
"Hem? At first glance I could feel but I was still confused. But by the way why are you here? No need to answer because I already know the answer. Apparently you've been living in this place for thousands of years. And feel that you're the master of this place huh?" tanyanya relax.
"Haha! You better back off and go home! I am still being nice to you guys. I honestly don't like to be bullied."
"Well, that's you know. You said yourself that you don't want to be disturbed but why are you bothering them?"
"I'm bothering them? Isn't it upside down if they're the ones that bother me?"
"really? What are they doing that makes you think they're bothering you? I think they're just carrying out their college assignments, and they've never done anything bad."
"Oh yeah? This young man has ruined my place!" jerrit Fendi. Suddenly his voice turned heavy and foreign in the ears.
"A, yayaya. So the statue's your place? And you like it so much because it's always been fed by humans, huh?"
"Shut up! I repeat once again, you better get out of this place before I do anything worse to them!" the threat is serious.
"Just boy. This is not your place and I deserve to be wherever I want. Not because you have been here for a long time, then make you dark and consider you the ruler here. It's not that easy, yeah."
"You really want to get in trouble with me!"
"Oh, it's true" said Ustad, holding Fendi's palm and pressing it slowly.
But Fendi's reaction is beyond logic. He looked in great pain, and was about to attack the Ustad But it was strange as if he was entangled so that he could not attack. Ustad Tadi just smiled at what Fendi was doing.
"Hot! Off! Let go of me, you fool!" her screams.
"You had to let them all go. Come on, bring all your troops. Before I break your right hand!" threaten ustad seriously.
"Stop! You're a brash! I'll reply! I'll reply!" jerit Fendi again.
"Oh yeah? Go ahead! I'll do the same thing later."
Fendi kept screaming in pain. But his body seemed unable to resist. Only his right hand was held. But it was as if he was being whipped by dozens of knives all over his body.
A few minutes later, the figure that entered Fendi's body came out. Fendi became limp like Mey just now. Armand helped her lie down on another chair, not far from Mey. Miraculously all the commotion that happened at home, suddenly quiet. There were no more screams and cries like that. Everything is calm and in control.
"We should pray congregations inside" asked Mr. Ustad. He then went inside to check on the others.
Tonight's events left them all shaken. Because terror does not only appear in one person. Everyone was getting pressure and threats from the refined beings. They really do not know that the impact of their actions will be this severe. Though all they did was want to eat grilled corn on the porch of the house but the happy atmosphere had suddenly turned into a commotion that could be life-threatening. Khusnul continued to hold her neck because of the pain caused by Dolmen. People who are possessed cannot do much. Their bodies were completely limp though their ears could still hear what the other friends were talking about.
