Riding the gate of Mr. Yodie's house was not difficult for us, especially for me and Kiki. Because we are used to climbing the school fence first, or the fence of the house if you are late to go home. Kiki and I are not female, just the opposite. In fact, we often climb a guava tree in Kiki's house or a mango tree behind my house.
The high strands of weeds were almost knee-length, making me a little wary if there were any slithering animals hiding behind them. The rustle of the leaves was blown by the wind, making us continue to pay attention around. His faint-sounding voice made our own terror. Maybe because of the house effect which is an icon of haunted houses in the village. A place that will uncover other mysteries that have long thrived in this place. Of course the mystery in this village is not only one story, but many stories that continue to be shrouded in fear, revenge, and cheating. The new name that appeared earlier revealed another veil about the dark ruler who was responsible for all the strange events in this village. The foreign name turned out to be the name of a demon, who was in charge of spreading the plague, and indeed proved his prowess, by killing almost all the inhabitants of the village in an instant.
Our distance was scattered, though not too far away. Because the yard of this house is quite large, try to browse each section of the house from the front to the terrace of the large house. We continue to pay attention to every corner of this house, from the yard to all the points that allow for strange or strange things. So far there is only a typical empty house that has been very uninhabited for a long time. To be sure all the houses that were abandoned long ago by their owners, or left empty for long periods of time, there must be other creatures that inhabit them. Another oddity, because both the courtyard and the building in front of us now never changed, like other houses in this village. Only this place remained to show the existence of horror from the beginning to the end. The possibility of the existence of this village's cataclysmic demon, is indeed very likely to inhabit this place. For it was only here that I felt empty air, the absence of life and a feeling of emptiness and despair.
The condition of the terrace is not much different from the home page. Dirty and messy. Even the wooden chair has also been weathered eaten by rodents or because of eroded time. Maybe this place was abandoned more than 20 years ago. So that none of the goods or parts of this house are still good and intact.
"Den!"
"Roman!"
"Bravedi!"
We kept saying those three names out loud. Hoping that one of them or even all three would soon emerge from within and greet us, as well as make our anxiety disappear at this very moment.
"Where are they?" tanya Danu muttered, peeking at the window glass whose curtains had been revealed so that she could see the situation inside the dark.
"Come in, yuk," asked Doni who was increasingly agitated to continue to look behind us. The chances of villagers passing by on the street will be even more intense. However, this village is the same as the village in general during the day. They are still active as usual.
"Yes, it's hunted!" sosor Kiki, pushed in and opened the door earlier, which was indeed unlocked. We took turns to enter the dark hallway of the house, but when I reached the living room, I was flabbergasted. The middle space that initially will be the same as the middle space in general, it looks different. There are no chairs, sofas, TVs, buffets or cabinets in general, but the wilderness.
"Crazy? We're wrong in what the hell is this?" doni asked and then looked back where the living room was still visible there.
"Here are we still in our world or have we entered another world, Tha? greet Danu with similar questions. Kiki just gawked while amazed. The situation in this house deserves a thumbs up. Because it turns out that the terrace and living room that we see in front, is just camouflage to cover the situation inside which is more like a jungle.
"Has right, Arden's sister, Radit, just as Dedi's not back."
'So where should we find them, Tha?" ask Kiki, getting anxious.
"Hm... I don't know either." I muttered pressing on the heavier head. In a place this wide would be difficult to search for the three of them. Splitting up would be a lot of possibilities to find them, but I doubt if I have to divide our group again. We don't even know what's in the woods. Moreover, the existence of the demon was indeed here, it could be that he was hiding in a place we were unaware of. Or he was watching us from now on.
I held the pendant in my neck. This little silver sword model always accompanied me wherever I went. But this time I can't use it. There seems to be a great power covering up, so that I cannot send a signal outside, just ask for help Mr. de Yusuf, or ... Arkansas.
Ever since I graduated from college, Arkana's existence has been rarely seen. Pakde Yusuf said, Arkana was assigned to take care of me all this time, but not for a long time or even forever. Maybe the more I grow up, the more Arkana will start to leave. When I asked my mother, Brother Arden, or even Pakde, they just said that I was able to take care of myself. I don't even know where Arkana is right now.
The buzz of insects began to sound faint, I searched for the existence of the animal above. Like the sound of a swarming wasp. Feeling that it was a threat, I took them on a journey. "Just get there."
"You sure?"
'God willing." We started to enter the tall trees in front. Step foot with heart - heart while checking around.
"Gaes, strangely no, the house that we think is an ordinary house, even there is a wilderness in it, and strangely again, we do not realize it at all."
"Ki, the name of the mystery of life we will not know. I've often also, right, we face strange things like gini."
"Yes, said Aretha. You guys, yesterday instead of complaining, miss the same moment when we were adventuring for ghosts. Now it's a turn to be obfuscated, even keok," Danu said. The conversation was very clear in my memory. Before we got stuck here, there was one event where we were bored with our monotonous lives. Work, go home, and go back to the office. Some of us do agree, if our life at SMU was much more fun. All the things we experienced did not necessarily make us desperate, let alone bored. But now, in this situation, we miss a normal life.
"Gaes, what is it?" doni asked, stopping his steps and pointing to the dark corner in front of us. The lush trees around, make the atmosphere much fainter. But the day has not gone yet, but our view is increasingly limited as we enter this forest.
"What the hell, Don?" Danu stood beside Doni, staring at the spot he was pointing at.
"Don't nakutin - nakutin dong, Yang," whined Kiki, hugged her hand and continued to cling to me.
"What do you see, Don?"
"There's a shadow passing by, Tha!" bright Doni without taking his eyes off the spot he suspected. I'm not too sure myself, because I haven't seen anything since. Especially seeing the surrounding conditions are quite shady. It was as if sunlight was reluctant to enter this forest.
But the sound of the bushes screeching around made Doni's statement start to make sense. We became alert while continuing to notice every strange movement that was around. The sound of people clucking sounds loud, the four of us began to put up a movement of each other's backs, by forming a circle, in order to see the surrounding situation that began to look strange.
"Who are you!" jerit Danu lantang.
The man began to show himself. The man walked out from one of the biggest trees in front of me and Danu. Now he is standing in front of us at a distance of 5 meters. Her skin was as black as ebony, especially with her clothes that were also in the same color. He grinned with a hump - a hunk that made me think he was Mr. Yodie. My memory is still printed when he strangles Nek Siti's neck. His posture, the same. Even the dark aura felt the same. Not only did it get there, because another voice was heard in the ear.
"Duh, if this is clear, the kunti will go along," muttered Danu who had memorized the sign of the creature's arrival. The sound of chicks squeaking loudly as if it has become a mandatory sign of the arrival of creatures of the type of kuntilanak in this village. We just have to wait for the creature to appear like Mr. Yodie in front.
"Geez! That's what?!" kiki's screams pointed to another dark corner before her. The automatic also caught our attention, and came to see what creatures he pointed at. A person is walking up a tree trunk, sometimes moving from one tree to the next.
"Sibyan Umm!" mumbling spontaneous.
Now the three creatures that are characteristic of the villagers have begun to appear, and of course I have met with Danu before. From the beginning they were soldiers assigned to terrorize the village, even quite successfully making me and Danu scared yesterday.
"What should we do, Tha?" doni asked, getting frustrated.
"Try to keep thinking."
Shouts of remembrance began to echo from our mouths. I'm really at my lowest point to fight. Because Umm Sibyan was precisely following the chants of remembrance that we said. He then laughed loudly while continuing to walk like a slithering animal that I used to meet. I clasped the pendant around my neck, constantly asking God for help - the creator of the universe.
Umm Sibyan was getting closer to us, she was always walking on all fours from tree to tree. Now he was in front of me, smiling horribly. I finally gave up whatever would happen later. His hands began to stretch out to get closer to my face, I was frightened and closed my eyes.
"Where is this dong," whined Kiki
But suddenly, a loud roar rang out clearly in the ears. I opened my eyes and saw a tiger appear out of nowhere and was struggling with Umm Sibyan.
"Guabe!" muttered Kiki who was stunned to see that sparkling thing in my hand.
"You guys stay here!" I began to advance, and pointed this sword at Yodhie. He managed to fend it off, continuing to fight even with his bare hands. But strangely the sound of swords clashing against each other was clear. Can his hands be made of iron?
Craash! His left hand broke off because of my sword, floundering like a fish that had been on the ground for too long. Blood flowed profusely with a pitch-black color. Now I managed to land my heel on his chest. He looked at me grudgingly down there, without further ado I immediately unsheathed his heart with a sword. Mr. Yodhi screamed, his eyes bulging with a stiff stiffened body. Slowly the tip of his foot began to disintegrate, continuing to seep upwards until finally his entire body disappeared like dust.
Kuntilanak, who used to terrorize us, has been crippled by Danu and Doni. They recited prayers while tying them in a white circle with a thick powder surrounding them.
"Where did you get that much salt?" ask me to Kiki who just silently stared at her lover's battle ahead.
"That, Tha!" Kiki pointed at a large wooden barrel that was beside a tree. Not wanting to continue the curiosity, I immediately approached Arkana who had managed to split the creature he was fighting into two parts.
"You .. How can you be here?" tanyaku.
"Because of your prayers. You'd better follow Arden there!" Arkana pointed to a cave near a chest-high grass fence. But we haven't been there yet, Brother Arden showed up with the others. Their condition is no better than ours. Until I ran to pick them up.
"What's wrong?" I looked at their faces one by one. Bruises and scratches were on some corners of their faces. RAdit's hands also shed fresh blood, while Dedi was injured in his right leg. While Arden continued to hold his chest.
"Silver is okay. It also briefly recovered. Loh, is there Arkana?" sak Arden asked, looking at the man standing in his place since then, without shifting in the slightest.
"Yes, he's coming."
As Arden approached Arkana, Dedi assisted Danu and Doni sat under a tree to examine his wounds. I immediately got closer to Radit and immediately hugged him. "Why are you like this?"
Radit still had time to caress my head, smile and keep looking at me fixedly. "We found Merihim."
'Keep!"
"Yes Arden, me and Dedi fought him, aided by Fergaraksa. But that creature is quite powerful, Tha. Until we got hurt - gini wounds. But eventually, he was eliminated. We killed him. It turns out that he was behind all the events that befell this village. He also shuts our eyes and distracts us all along. He trapped all the villagers' spirits, and made them play his game, enslaving the humans, making him stay in this place to eat the human soul itself."
"Then where are they? Villagers?"
"They were free and returned to nature. We will never see these creatures again. Mr. Karjo, Mr. Heni or others."
"grandmother?"
"Yes, grandma too. It was precisely the grandmother who led us to meet the devil." I immediately hugged Radit tightly. Sobbing from feeling relieved and sad at the end of this story. I am relieved that we have finally put an end to the terror of this village, but sad that there are no villagers we can save. Especially Grandma Siti.
From Radit's explanation, during this time Nek Siti is the most responsible and respected human by the demon named Merihim. Grandma is not easily conquered, because once, grandmothers who guarded this village. Grandmothers are shamans who usually take care of their citizens, treat, massage newborns, even help people who are possessed. He is good because he still does that on the basis of humanity and remembers God. Only the grandmothers survived the use - for black magic spread in the village.
The incident happened right after Mr. Yodie slaughtered his family. Merihim made it an advantage by doing terror in all corners of the village. Placing his kerocene and making the atmosphere tense. As she spread black magic by spreading the plague, only Grandmother was still alive, as grandmother was able to dispel that evil aura. It was just that he remained defeated, and became paralyzed. Grandma tried to fight back, and for that reason, grandmother was often a victim of Merihim's followers. Trying to trap grandma Siti to submit to the demon.20 years more grandmother survived, until finally she gave up and gave up her life just to save us.
We're out of this yard. The sky began to appear in the sky. The body feels weak and helpless. The village is back to its original state. No more covering this place anymore. Even what we saw was worse than what we had seen before.
"So we can go home?" my many.
Arkana had left a while ago after treating Arden's internal injuries. "Yes, we're home."
'But, Den, cars can't walk at all. Our car's engine was deliberately damaged, it must be the same Lulu!" hardik Doni, pissed.
"You are willing if we leave the car here first, we try to walk to the village of Alas Ketonggo, because only that place is the closest from here?"
"Sister, I don't want to sleep here anymore. I'd better walk there, or at least we'll get out of here."
Arden kissed my forehead with a smile. "Ded, can you walk?"
"Can, Den. Slow down."
'Ah, my grandmother's wheelchair is still there!" tukas Danu spirit. "Let me take it!" He immediately ran into Bu Heni's house and soon returned by pushing Nek Siti's wheelchair.
We left the car, as well as the goods there. I just want to be able to breathe the air outside this village. Although the village is actually safe, the trauma of what happened here has not disappeared.
This cobbled walk reminds me of the night we drove Siti's grandmother to the doctor's house of Daniel, me and Danu went back to talking about it, and got a laugh from friends at the moment where Danu threw up.
This leg continues to walk in the direction of the destination in front. The village was already starting to leave, and the gate was starting to be seen in front of it.
"Arden! The danu! Aretha! Radite! Hey you guys!" scream someone in front of there. As we squinted, Dion and Ari were seen waving in front, accompanied by some other people who were quite a lot waiting for us there.
"We're not hallucinating, are we? That's really Dion with Ari?" asked Dedi almost couldn't believe it.
"Let's just beat them, if you yell, it means really human, Ded," said Danu and then we laughed together.
They started running closer. Air ambulance sirens and police began to be heard approaching the village. Not only were Dion and Ari there, the villagers of Alas Ketonggo were also seen, and what made me look the most - the glass was the appearance of the father there. I ran impatiently to be able to hug my father immediately. Dad still wears a police uniform to welcome me.
"You're all right, right?" father asked, I roared in his arms. I shed all the emotions and feelings that I had been feeling. "Papa has been looking for you for three days, but did not see you either. Thank goodness you're okay."
"Where's mama?"
"At home, same Pakde. We're home, baby." My father greeted Arden, took us in the car, and we finally went home.
