Hey Indigo Girl (The Series) TAMAAAAAT!!!!
The Part 17 Merihim

"Den, if we go to the house, we will also automatically pass the house of Mr. Karjo, right? Is it not dangerous? They couldn't have forgotten the same thing last night, right?" asked Danu at breakfast this morning. Outdoor themes are still our habit in this village. Luckily Lulu had a good supply of food. It also makes us think that we are not - no. If he still has this much food, where is he? The night was not yet visible, even until this second.

Brother Arden was relaxed, still busy with grilled yams in front of him. "Then from that, we have to be careful, right? Maybe don't all go there, some stay here, how?"

"No, Big no! Den, you know the danger of this place. Don't let me share my advice. Danger. Either the group that will go to Mr. Yodie's house, or the group that is here. Inget, we are now fugitive status. Lulu has been in hiding for months. His life is not calm. Don't let us, or any of us get caught by them. So we have to keep the same - the same!" tukas Dedi firmly. Some people agree. Arden just smiled.

"That's dong. The spirit. We have to be sure, that we will definitely get out of this place soon," said Kak Arden, blowing a ripe sweet potato, and here is our breakfast menu. Yams, cassava, fish. Rice? I miss the rice.

We all enjoyed breakfast, no longer thinking about the taste, type, or hygienic way of processing, most importantly everything we ate, enough to prop up our stomachs - our hungry stomachs.

"All ready?" Arden always leads where and when cases occur. He also gives more rational advice more often, without excessive emotion. That's why we always obey him. Rarely is there a cok check about the decision he took. Sometimes what he had planned almost hurt us. But lucky until this moment we still survive. Especially with our compactness from the past until now.

"Ready."

'We have to be careful. As much as possible, do not let a single villager see our existence. Take care of each other and keep an eye on each other, because if one is caught then the other will also be easily caught."

We started walking towards Mr. Yodie's house, one by one by settling down - the precipitate continued down the forest smoothly. This spot indeed seems to be very rarely passed by the villagers, because their activities are not focused in the forest. It didn't take long, we've arrived near Mr. Yodie's house. Behind the trees, we hid, checking the surroundings. Afraid that Pak Karjo and Bu Heni would still be in the house. Although actually I really want to go to the house, to see the condition of Grandma Siti who until now has not known how her condition. I still hope Grandma is okay.

"Udah is quiet," Radit said, still turning to the right and left alternately. We've agreed to split the group in half, some going in there, some waiting here, checking things out and keeping watch if there's anything suspicious out here.

"I first, the others will follow, keep the distance. Make sure it is safe, just move. Take care of each of you" explained Brother Arden as he looked at us one by one. We nodded in response. Arden quickly walked towards the high fence of the house, climbed it easily and finally managed to get into the courtyard of the house. Dedi began to follow, doing the same movement, and they both managed to get into the house. Radit as the last group, started moving. When he had set foot in the courtyard of the house, the door of Mr. Karjo's house creaked, fortunately Radit also heard it, and, so he immediately hid behind a pile of drums - oil drums that were in the corner of the yard. This house is indeed the largest in the village, but really not maintained at all. Even though this village is able to change its form if day and night, but strangely the house remains the same. It will not change during the day or night.

Mr. Karjo came out of the house followed by Bu Heni. Those of us outside also went into hiding and tried not to move from our place. Keep paying attention to a husband and wife who suddenly like having a double personality. Although now I know, the reason they are like that, because they are not humans, but demons.

Their activities continued as usual. Pak Karjo and Bu Heni went to their fields which were located quite far from home. There is on the edge of the village, which is also lined with other villagers' fields. Some of the residents we had seen before Mr. Karjo and Mr. Bu Heni showed up, also still doing their activities as usual. They always play their roles very well.

I was worried about their situation there, but fortunately Radit was able to avoid Pak Karjo and Bu Heni, and finally all had managed to get in there. It's just me out here, Kiki, Danu and Doni. Just sitting in the grass behind the bushes we used to hide. We were already unable to roam around as usual, due to our status that had already turned into a village fugitive.

"Tha, can we go home?" ask Kiki a little desperate. The three of us looked at him.

"could. You don't be so pessimistic, dear. We must go home" said Doni and pulled Kiki's head into his arms.

"Yes, Ki, we're definitely home. Sure. Patience, yes." I don't really know if I can make these words happen. Even now I don't know how to get out of this place.

"They were long inside. Are they good, huh?" asked Danu with a face full of anxiety.

I then moved, not wanting to linger - just stay here for a long time. I'm tired and don't like to wait like this.

"Eh, where are you going?" ask Danu to investigate.

"Gue's going to Mrs Heni's house, want to check on Grandma." I pat my ass - clap, get rid of the dust stuck there. Although actually the place I sit is just grass. My hand was held by Danu. "Tha, Arden would say that we should be here. Wait here, Aretha!"

"And, for a second, you guys are here first. It looks like it anyway, right? If there is anything - do I scream. How's it?" ask them to ask for their consent. Staring at Danu's black eye bead. This young man in front of me took a deep breath, without saying anything more, his hand slipping from my hand. That proves that he agreed with my request.

"Don't be long" Danu said without looking at me again.

I immediately walked towards Bu Heni's house. The door of the house that was never locked made it easy for me to get inside. Although I know that Mr. Heni and Mr. Karjo are not at home, I remain vigilant.

This house was still the same as last time it left, when the sun appeared in the sky. Neat, clean and worthy of being called a home. I glanced at the first room, where yesterday - yesterday was my place to sleep. It's all the same, my stuff is still there. I turned to the window in the living room as the footsteps of some people distracted my attention. Apparently they're following me. I automatically went back to the terrace. "What?"

"Gue wants to check the car. Who knows if it could go!" whisky Danu.

"Lu go ahead, Tha," said Doni. I nodded and agreed with their actions. "Ki, you keep it around, who knows if someone is passing by. You guys should hide."

"OKAY. You're heart-heart too, Tha."

I went back inside. Keep walking all the way to the kitchen, and when I get to Grandma's room, I stick my ear in front of the door. Silent. There's nothing inside. Out of curiosity I opened the door of this room slowly. The crackling of the door filled this room. There was only a grandmother's wheelchair. Netraku was wildly looking for Grandma's whereabouts all over the corner of her room. But this room is empty. It became a big question in my mind, where is Grandma now. Maybe what Kak Arden told you last night is true, grandma is dead.

My body is limp, my legs seem to have no bones to support. Bedside is the right choice now. I tried to sit in that place, the place I used to talk to grandma all this time. Feeding and treating grandmother's wounds.Memories with Nek Siti seem to spin back in my brain memory. The beginning of my arrival and Danu to this house, grandmother's welcome that initially made us both uncomfortable, until the events we experienced in this house. Especially when she saw Grandma about to be hurt by that man. Mr Yodie?!

Without my tears spilling. All feelings are crashing into one. I was even stunned while covering my face with both palms. However, arriving - arriving as breezy as the wind blows softly. My head was caressed by someone, I immediately opened my eyes and saw grandma standing in front of me. Smiled thinly and continued to caress my face gently.

"Grandmother?! Grandma's okay?" I asked, grabbing her palm which felt very cold. At that moment I realized, and immediately got the answer to my previous question.

"I want to see how Grandma is doing."

"Grandma's fine, Aretha."

"But .. grandma. Grandma is ...."

"Yes, but it's the best. You can't be sad. My grandmother feels free now. Oh yeah, have you met Lulu?"

"Yet. Grandma know where she is? She's been missing since last night, Grandma. Did something happen to him?" much worry.

"Yes ..he handed you over to Merihim."

"Merihim's? Who is he, Grandma?"

"He's the demon who spread the plague in this village, while locking this village from the outside world. Trapping the spirits of the villagers, also trapping the living like you."

"I mean Grandma Lulu who handed us over to Merihim, what?"

"He swapped your souls for the devil, to change places with him. Maybe he has already managed to leave this place. There's a big lie that Lulu told you, that she used to save her own life."

"What is that, grandma?"

"Actually you can get out of this village since you all came back here. You can leave at that time. But Lulu has lied, right? By saying that you can't get out of this place?"

"So he lied?

"Yes." Yeah."

"Are we actually able to get out of this village yesterday?"

"Yes, Karjo, Heni, Doctor Daniel and the other villagers don't know if you know the truth. Because if you pretend you don't know the truth, they won't take you as a threat. "

I'm aghast. Didn't expect that Lulu had managed to outwit us for her own sake. He set us up and made us stay here. How outrageous!

"Then what should we do, Grandma?" I almost got desperate.

"Grandmother doesn't know, but maybe you should exterminate the demon. So that the spirits trapped in this village can be free just as you wish. Heni and Karjo are not bad people just yet, their attitude that sometimes changes - change it must be because of the influence of Merihim. Maybe if Merihim is destroyed, then we will all be free from his shackles."

'But where can we find Merihim, Grandma?"

"In that house" pointed Grandma to the house next to this building, Mr. Yodie's house.

"Aretha! It's been a long time!" Kiki appeared from behind the door, I automatically turned my head and at that time my grandmother was missing. "Well, grandma?!" call me and panic to find him.

"Grandmother? Whose grandma? Nek Siti meet?" ask Kiki to come in this room.

"When don't you see? Grandma was standing in front of me, Ki?"

"Ah, ngaco you. There was no one - who was when I came in. I see you sitting alone, dumb. I thought you were possessed!" kiki Tukas. I continued to pay attention to this room, and it turned out that Siti's grandmother was indeed nowhere. But I'm sure I wasn't hallucinating. Where's grandma going? Maybe Grandma deliberately showed up to tell you all these new facts.

"We have to catch Arden!" I said, pulling Kiki's hand out of this room. Danu and Doni are still struggling with their car. Their faces looked upset and disappointed. The car is also broken. Some car parts are missing. It may have been stolen intentionally. Who else if not Lulu. You sly man!

"Lu'm sure, Tha?" danu asked after hearing all my stories.

"That's sure. We have to suck them in there, we destroy the demon so we can go home. That's the only way we're gonna get home, Dan, Don!"

"There really is, too. Arden is long inside. I was worried that they were why - why!" hatch Doni.

"Okay, we're going there now!" danu said sure.

The sun began to shift, the hot weather is now starting to dim because of the black clouds that gather in several corners of the sky. It looks like there will be heavy rain tonight.This is another bad thing we have to deal with now. Hopefully we can get out of that house alive and well - well there.
