Magic Village
He's Denis

"They're here too baby, he's in the next room."

Hearing the bad news Aisyah felt her head getting sicker. "I'm more confused by all this bun, why did Dara and I get to be here, and then where are our other friends? They where? Are they safe too?" Aisyah continued to ask, she could not calm down before knowing the state of her friends.

Aisha's question made her mother doubt, she did not know what to answer. Since all of Aisyah's friends had already died in the accident, the only survivors were the two of them.

Seeing her mother's eyes that began to tear up Aisyah grew worried, she began to think that was not it.

"Mother please answer Aisyah's question! What about Aisyah's other friends, Rudi, Andi they're all okay, right?" aisha asked.

"They all did not survive Shah, only you and Dara survived." His mother replied in a sad tone, Aisyah's crying spilled instantly upon hearing the bad news.

"Why? Why could it be like this bun, please Anterin Aisyah from Dara's room, Aisyah wants to meet Dara. "Love Aisyah, her tears flowing profusely she was not strong enough to hold back her cries. He had to lose both of his best friends simultaneously and it broke his heart.

Ms. Indri pushed the Aisyah wheelchair towards the room Dara was treated.

It turns out that Dara is also awake, and she is accompanied by her mother and father.

After Aisyah entered, they all agreed to leave the room so that their children could talk to each other comfortably.

"Do you feel weird about all the things that happened to us Dar?" ask Aisyah straight to the point.

"I feel like this doesn't make sense to me." Answer Dara.

"Have you also entered the village?"

"Yes, we are all there including Andi and Rudi, but in the end only we can return because we still have bodies in the world, whereas Rudi and Andi are both gone." Dara stared blankly at the room, she was sad just as Aisyah felt.

"I think the magic village is still there and real, but never mind that it's all just the devil's trickery that brings our souls to nature,and make us forget that we are actually lying weak in the hospital.

"Do you remember how it happened until the bus we were riding on could have an accident?" ask Dara.

"I remember, there was an old man passing in front of our bus,making Mr. Yanto hit the brakes all of a sudden and he slammed the steering wheel of the car until finally the bus that took us away that day hit a fairly large tree on the quiet side of the road." Aisyah recalled the tragic events of that day.

"The man that Mr. Yanto saw and all of us are gone, he's dead." Dara Revealed.

Aisyah's eyes widened to hear it. "Why do you know about this? You know from who?"

"My mom and dad said it earlier, and the story about the magic village does exist, I'm so grateful we can still go back." Tears of Dara flowed out from the corner of her eyes, the crying of her happiness was also the crying of her sadness because she had to lose her two best friends.

"the little boy who ran away with you, he's here too." Said Mr. Aryo Aisyah's father. The man had not known since when he was near them.

"Dad knows Denis?" Aisyah was confused.

"Yes, he's Mr. Surya's son. The story behind the magic village was very long Aisyah. And what you're experiencing in your subconscious it's all happened, it's real."

"Can we go see Denis?" ask Dara hoping.

Mr. Aryo nodded slowly, then said "But don't be surprised when you see him!" message Mr. Aryo.

"I mean Dad?" Aisyah narrowed her eyes, not understanding the meaning of her father's words.

\*\*\*\*\*

In the afternoon Aisyah and Dara were still in the hospital, they were not allowed to go home because their condition had not fully recovered. So this afternoon they went to see Denis, he was in the same hospital as them.

"Assynoltom..." Say Aisyah and Dara at the same time.

"Wa'alaikum..

"Where are you going Ayesha, Dara?" asked the man, his voice was so beautiful it sounded in Aisyah's ears.

"We're wrong in the room?" whispered Dara

"It's a kid, but it's an adult, right?"

"You guys didn't go wrong in the room, I was Denis" the guy told me.

At the same time Aisyah and Dara re-twisted their bodies and walked closer to the man who was considered Denis.

Aisyah finally understood the purpose of her father's words, who said that do not let them be surprised when they see Denis, turns out Denis is no longer the child they see when they are in another world.

In the corner of the room there were two chairs, they then took the chair and sat on the side of Denis' bed.

"You're here because you're curious about what seems real, right?"

"Yes, and you're not Denis the little boy, are you?" dara asked, barely believing what she saw, had Denis not mentioned them both by name.

"Yes, I'm a little boy who ran away with you."

Denis eventually tells the story of how he got stuck in the village and became Ki Dani's grandson.

So, one day Denis wanted to go home to his hometown, and he deliberately took the shortcut to avoid getting stuck, but who would have thought that the incident that happened to Aisyah and her friends also happened to Denis.

His soul was also taken away by the subtle creatures that wait for the forest. When he opened his eyes Denis was surprised because he returned to his childhood as the grandson of Ki Dani, a man who embraced black magic.

Denis is indeed Ki Dani's grandson, he is the old man's favorite grandson. Because of the affection that is why Ki Dani does not want to make Denis as a victim, but the request of the devil must be obeyed. At that time Ki Dani had no other way until he made the lives of the villagers as his sacrifice just to save his own grandson.

Little Denis was told to leave the village, when the night of worship was carried out.

Denis went to the city and Ki Dani immediately did his job, on a quiet night and the rain began to fall, that's when he burned the residence of the villagers, the people there screamed for help,but no one came.

Outraged that the demon finally made a promise to Ki Dani, he asked for the old man's life because he had broken his promise by telling Denis to run away from there.

Not the life of the villagers he wanted, but the life of his own grandson. But, because his grandson is no longer there, Ki Dani must replace him.

And finally Ki Dani burned his own body with fire that was already blazing, he died.

Until now there are no more people who dare to set foot in the village, many say the road there is very creepy and haunted, if anyone passes the road is sure to end up having an accident, he said,if he still had time in the world then he would have survived, otherwise he would have died in that place as well.

And in fact it really happened, they were witnesses to it, some people who did not believe in such a supernatural thing they thought of it as a myth only,but there are also those who believe and they avoid it so that bad things do not happen.

"The calendar is still there in 2001." Aisyah said after Denis finished telling her about the story behind the magic village.

"Who do you live with now?"

"I live with my aunt, but they're still out of town, so can't see me here."

"You must love your grandfather very much." Lirih Dara, she sees Denis's eyes that seem to hold a deep wound as she recounts the tragic end of her grandfather's life.

"Yes, you're right that I really love my grandfather, I didn't think that at the end of his life he was still a slave to the devil." Denis' eyes began to water, he tried to hold back his tears.

Now the three of them had indeed returned to the real world, but was it all over, would the demons not follow them anymore?

It's not over yet, it's just about to start, and it's going to be more stressful.
