King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 60 The rise of astral beings
“A-what was that?” I was terrified and surprised to see a shadow that I believe is the most famous and phenomenal ghost in the country, which is ‘kuntilanak’.
Refald looked at my pale face in fear, “What's up, Honey? What the hell's going on? Why is your face like that?”
“I ... it ...” I tried to control myself so as not to be too afraid so that I could explain what I saw to Refald. It could be, it's just my hallucination. “I'm sure I saw something,” I said to Refald trembling in shock.
“See what?” Refald was very alert.
“I'm sure .. although I actually know you won't believe me.” I swallowed my salivary to vent my popular name from the terrible figure I just saw. “I really very sure, if the figure earlier, is the figure of kuntilanak.” I tremble say the word ‘kuntilanak’.
Saying that one word alone made me tremble like this. Moreover, I have seen it, the figure of a creature in white clothes and long black hair that always hung in lonely places with the characteristic of his laughter so that anyone who heard it would be scared to death. As it happens to me now. The shadow really scared me.
"Relax, Honey. Maybe it's just your imagination." Refald tried to calm me down.
I just kept quiet with my body still shaking and frightened.
I really don't think, why do astral beings always appear like this? Does it have anything to do with that password? But I didn't say any passwords while I was in this forest. Why is it like this? And why should I see them again at a time like this?
“You all right, Honey?” as if Refald could read my anxiety, he immediately looked back and observed all the places around us.
I did not know what to say, for I was still confused and frightened. This forest was so dark and terrifying just like what Refald had said this afternoon.
"Is this what you meant?" tanyaku. "That's why you want us to leave this forest so quickly? Did you know?" my voice sounded trembling.
"Whatchu mean? I don't get it. Never mind, don't think strangely. You're tired, so it's easy to fantasize about not being in a dark place like this."
I was silent again. What Refald said is true. The day was getting dark indeed, so it was natural that suddenly the atmosphere became very gripping and creepy. Especially now that we are alone, we are in the middle of a thick and very dark forest.
“Will light the campfire first for lighting so you don't be afraid anymore, Honey. There I am here, do not be afraid okay,” said Refald after making sure that I have started to control myself again. "There's nothing around here."
I could only nod slowly at Refald's words. My heart is still beating fast, I somehow feel there is a bad feeling here. But I don't want to make Refald worry. I'm not sure I'll be able to get through tonight in peace. So, I will try hard to shift my fear.
I decided to observe Refald who was busy making a fireplace, and again, I accidentally saw a figure like me floating in the air. Spontaneously I immediately screamed in fear. This is the second time I've seen that horrible creature again.
“Fey!” Refald was very surprised to hear my screams and immediately ran towards me who was down and bowed my head between my knees and my arms. “What else? Why scream like that?” Refald hugged me.
I shuddered in horror at the re-imagining of a monstrous creature like me that had just appeared before me.
How not to be horrified? A creature that is a human head with body contents attached without skin and limbs that can fly it floated in the middle of a dense forest like this.
This kind of creature should only exist in Kalimantan, why is it here? Is there a baby or woman giving birth that he is looking for. It was so scary that creature. Hiiii ... how scary!
I shook my head hoping that what I saw was just a dream. I was still in shock and trembling, even so scared, I did not feel my tears had flowed. I cried in Refald's arms.
“But ... I .. see it, trust me, I can really see it. That thing was so awful to Refald, I didn't lie. Can't we get out of here? This place is so scary!” I said while crying.
“OK, I believe, but we can't leave here. It'll be more dangerous if we get out of that ring of fire. A beast can attack us at any time. We'd better stay here until dawn, then we'll continue on again. There I am here, there will be no one who will dare to disturb you even if it is an astral being. Relax Honey, you need a break too. Now sleep in my room, I will take care of you.” Refald kept trying to calm me down and dispel my fear by tightly hugging my body.
Refald's words really made me feel comfortable. I also felt safe in his arms.
Refald leaned me against a big tree while still holding me in his chest. I faintly heard Refald whispering something.
“Ehm .. What did you say? I didn't hear?” I looked up at Refald who was just staring up at the tree. I followed his line of sight and found nothing but leaves and branches of trees covering the whole place.
“Oh, it's okay, I'm just trying to keep you calm so as not to be frightened,” Refald said with a smile.
I don't know why I feel like there's something Refald's hiding from me. But I don't know what it is. So far I can only trust Refald more than myself. Thanks to him little by little I began to overcome my fears.
“Sleep Honey, I'll be on guard.” Refald still did not want to let go of his embrace. He looked more alert as if he was facing something I didn't know.
“You also need to sleep, Refald.” I began to worry about the situation of Refald who lately lack of sleep because of following my activities. Added to this kind of situation.
I'm sure he hasn't even slept at all until this second. But he looked fine, there were no signs of sleep deprivation or fatigue. If ordinary people would have fainted.
I wonder who this Refald really is. He has a very strong physique. He is different from humans in general. But Refald always denied that he was just like everyone else.
Do all the members of a high-class climber club like Refald really have a frightening physical strength? Or maybe Refald had supernatural powers? Is he an indigo too?
My mind kept on stirring to find out who Refald was. My great fear of the coming of astral beings wandering around me was now suddenly gone and was immediately replaced by my intense curiosity for Refald.
When I wanted to ask who Refald really was, I again saw the most fearsome creature in the country. The creature even blatantly glared at me as if threatening me not to make a sound.
My body immediately stiffened and stiffened without being able to move, I was sure Refald could also notice, the creature stared at me glued behind a roll-shaped figure wrapped in a shroud with bound hands and a creepy face that turned its back on Refald.
“What else is it, Honey?” Refald shook my body which still could not speak due to trembling in fear.
Slowly, Refald turned his head back following the direction of my glued gaze. Surprisingly, Refald did not tremble in fear at all like me. Instead, he looked angry and furious.
I'm so confused, can Refald see that figure or not? Because Refald didn't look scared at all. Even the creature was surprised.
As soon as the pocong saw Refald's face, it disappeared. I was surprised and more curious.
What's the matter? Where did that scary pocong go?
