Inherited Blood
Chapter 5 Disappearing the Mysterious Man
Dayu was walking down a deserted road. The night was late, the darkness enveloped the surroundings. The street is illuminated by a dim light. Dayu stopped stepping, his eyes staring and sweeping across the place.
"I have to get there." Dayu muttered and stepped back. The longer it takes, the faster it moves
"I have to get there" he said.
"Hey! You...stop?" one scream coming from behind made Dayu turn his head. A man approached him, carrying a sword. Dayu who originally stopped back stepped. He heard the footsteps behind him getting faster. Mayu looked over, while running. The man almost approached her. He could see the sword in the man's hand covered in blood. Hayu's legs are getting faster running. He kept running, until something was kicked by his leg. Something was thrown forward and rolling. When Dayu approached something, his eyes widened full of horror. One human head smirked at him. The two fangs in the mouth of the head were poking out from within the mouth that was covered in blood.
Dayu woke up from her deep sleep, she sat upright for a moment, with a sweaty face and a strange dream, she was chased by a black-clothed man who was currently lying stiff in front of her. The human head he kicked in a dream, also the face of a man dressed in black.
Dayu sighed, then looked at the black-clothed man.
What does the dream mean?
Why is that man not conscious yet?
Dayu does not know, why in a few days, he experienced something strange.
All his life, he had never seen any of the subtle creatures, but in these two days, he had often seen them.
"Yeah.....!"
Dayu was surprised, Mita patted her shoulder.
"Ah, you, Ta. You startle me, I almost lose my heart." Dayu held her chest.
"Why are you, Yu? I see you daydreaming. What are you thinking about?" ask Mita.
"Nothing, I'm not daydreaming. You are awake. It's, isn't it, it's still night?" Dayu felt astonished.
"Where can I sleep well outside. Cold times outside it, where are many more mosquitoes." Mita said resentfully, hugging her body, "You, why haven't you slept?" ask Mita
"I was asleep, just woke up. Not comfortable sleeping while sitting."
"How is the Father." Mita took the chair that was beside the empty bed.
"Still the same, haven't woken up yet. Hopefully, tomorrow he'll realize."
"If you don't realize tomorrow, what will you do?"
"No idea, Ta. There's no way I've been looking after this father for days. I also have to look at my mother's circumstances."
"If you want to see your mother. Let me just be here."
"Are you okay here by yourself?"
"No, but you came here again after seeing your mother, huh?"
"Yes." Yeah." Dayu nodded.
They were both silent looking at the man in black clothes. Suddenly, they felt sleepy, then yawned together. A moment later, their heads fell down next to the black-clothed man.
Wuuuush.......!
White mist enters the treatment room. The fog continued to move, then stopped under the feet of the black-clothed man. Slowly, the white mist disappeared and appeared a thin-skinned middle-aged woman, with a cold face. The woman held the thumb of the black-clothed man.
"Bahar...wake up!" The woman called. A moment later, the black-clothed man's eyes opened, then looked at the old woman.
"Sir.." the man called Bahar got up and stood up,
"I'm sorry, Mama. I can't beat Hasan." the black-clothed man lowered his head.
"You can't beat Hasan. Come...now, we go back to the village." that woman is a magic shaman named Mak Nairah.
The black-clothed man followed Mak Nairah who stepped out of the room. The two of them continued to walk past, several nurses, until they arrived at the exit and crossed the hospital guard. After arriving in front of the hospital, they stopped and the old woman cast a spell. Their bodies were instantly wrapped in white mist. Not long after, the white fog disappeared, along with the disappearance of the old woman and the black-clothed man.
By morning, Dayu woke up and saw the bed. His eyes looked for the whereabouts of the black-clothed man.
"Taa.....Mita." Dayu rocked Mita's body. Mita squirms and opens her eyes.
"Where is Father?" Dayu pointed at the empty bed.
"Maybe to the toilet." Mita says.
They stared at the closed toilet door. Waiting for a moment, an old man came out. Dayu and Mita look at each other.
"Not that Father. Where the hell is he?" Mayu looks confused.
"Yes...where to?"
Dayu exited the room followed by Mita. They're looking in front of the treatment room. Dayu sees the doctor and two nurses walking towards them. Dayu stepped closer.
"So, the father who wasn't there last night."
"Which father?" ask the doctor of the man.
"That was last night, Doc. The doctor who checked. The black shirt was injured. He fainted, Doc." Mita reminded.
The doctor immediately remembered and nodded.
"Oh, yes, I remember. You two take care, right?"
"Yes, Doc. But, the Father does not exist." Dayu says.
Hearing Dayu's words, the Doctor immediately entered the treatment room. Dayu and Mita along with two nurses also entered. They stared at the empty bed.
"We looked around the hospital. But, the father does not exist." said Dayu the doctor nodded in understanding, then looked at the two nurses.
"You report to the security guard up ahead. They will definitely look for the Father "The doctor gave the order.
"Yes, Doc." one of the nurses nodded. Both nurses passed.
"I have to check on the patient. You two just wait for the nurse to hear."
"Yes, Doc. Thank you." reply Mita.
The doctor entered the treatment room, while Dayu and Mita sat in front of the room.
Until the day before noon, Dayu and Mita just got news from security officers.
"We can't find your father." a security guard said. The officer thought that the man dressed in black was the father of Dayu and Mita. However, Dayu and Mita do not deny.
"Where is this, sir? Where should we find the father?" tanya Dayu was confused.
"Have you contacted any other relatives or relatives?" ask the officer.
Dayu and Mita shook their heads. They don't know who to contact.
"Fine, you just call the other brother or family first. Perhaps, your father has gone home." the officer suggested.
Dayu and Mita looked at each other.
"Yes, sir." Dayu nodded
"I'm sorry, then?" the officer was pampered.
"Yes, Sir. Thank you for your help." said Mita.
"Yes, you're welcome." The officer passed.
Dayu and Mita sat side by side thinking of the black-clothed man who disappeared.
"Where, yes, did the Father go?" Dayu mutters.
"Yes, huh?" Mita sighed.
