(Old House, Night)
"Stop”
The cold voice tore my hair, I could no longer resist the tension and fear to piss on my pants. The water running inside the pants makes my bottom hot, but my legs can move back.
“Go!”
“Pegi, pegi, pegi!”
The two creatures are like driving each other away, since this house is snake-man territory, I think it's a little difficult. Cindi who hugged my arm tightly turned unconscious earlier, making me alone to make a decision.
“Let them go, they don't disturb”
“Those who came here, disturbed us! You don't interfere!”
I don't know why all of a sudden I can understand their words, with native Sumatran language they talk to each other. It turned out that the creature behind us was trying to protect from the snake man and was trying to take us out.
“They bother, you also go!”
“Good, but they also come with me”
“No! They should be here, responsibility!”
The body moved again, I raised Cindi with all my might. I understand this conversation getting scared, it's true because we came in here but it was all unintentional.
“They also go, don't bother anymore”
“Khhhkkk!!!”
The serpent man was angry, yet he did not dare to approach back. I could move around trying to turn around and see what was behind us.
“Old grandfather?”
The figure of an old man who sacrificed white, all his clothes were white, but here was very dirty. His face was slightly oval with a long white beard, his eyes were almost the same as that of an ordinary human, and carried a cane.
“Auumm!!!”
The sound of a tiger with a loud volume echoed inside the house, I myself shuddered in fear. The origin of the voice turned out to be from the old geezer who was trying to protect us.
The exit was seen approaching towards us, and when I saw the distance between the exits became normal. I didn't waste a chance, I carried Cindi and walked out.
“Street continues, don't stare back”
Whatever happens I feel like a dream, I keep walking without looking back. My mind and heart did the same thing back then, no matter what I kept going straight don't look back.
The sound of snake hissing and tiger roar rang out as I approached the door, I'm sure the two were fighting for strength. I opened the door and stepped out, as the door opened a thick fog enveloped. It made me lose my balance and fall to the floor.
When I got up and opened my eyes again, we made it out of the old house, on the front porch. The thick fog mysteriously disappeared, leaving silence at night.
The door of the old house that opened I closed and carried Cindi away from the old house.
My breath was breathless, the rest of the energy I had kept on decreasing but still lingered until the way home. I was hoping to meet someone here and help us, of course, a real human being.
“I can't take it anymore with all this”
I continued walking and walking with empty thoughts, until we finally came out of the forest through the thickets. There I saw the light from the torch of fire and when conscious like a lost hypnotist, many people gathered dominant men carrying torches and batons patrol.
When I made it through the bush, one person who was aware of our arrival immediately shouted to the other residents. All seemed surprised to see our tattered state, all immediately gathered and secured us.
The limp feet didn't hold, me and Cindi fell. I saw before my eyes faded from exhaustion, my father came to me with tears in his eyes.
“Kak! Brother!” dad embraced me
“Dad, where is this?”
As if I lost my memory I asked something ambiguous and immediately unconscious, gave myself up to my father and wished all these nightmares to end. Cindi and I did manage to get out but there were still a lot of questions lodged in my brain.
The father who saw me and Cindi unknowingly took her directly to the village chief's house and gave her the first treatment. Ferdi's search was successful even though they didn't know how to get out of the woods at night.
The surrounding community also seemed to not believe the thing that happened, even though they had searched every corner of the forest. Although not looking into the middle of the forest and almost there, it is lucky Ferdi has returned.
“It...”.
SERIATE....
