CHAPTER 21

I wiped my tears when someone knocked on my door, it turned out that person was Sella. I told him to come in because the door wasn't locked.

"Lo just woke up? Tumben really strong sleep?" ask Sella while sitting in my study chair.

"Yes, that's a big deal," I replied .

"Armalem at Amel's?"

"Yes, I couldn't sleep there maybe because it wasn't my own room" I replied trying to lie.

"Hem so, oh yes I want a vacation with Aldi to the village at the top. Lo come yes, I let not be alone doang," said Sella with a powerful tone that is very difficult for me to refuse.

"Later I'll just be a mosquito while looking at your affection" I said pretending to bete.

"No dong, you can take Adit, Amel and Bayu"

Sella has been quite familiar with Amel and Bayu since they helped when Aunt Rani died.

"I ngabarin them first if they okay I will come," said I who immediately made Sella smile widely.

It turns out that Adit, Amel and Bayu agree to join Sella on vacation at her boyfriend's villa, Aldi.

We plan to go to the top tomorrow, Amel really excited he said as well as eye wash there might be handsome guys.

******

We set out in two cars, one Aldi and one Adit. Me, Amel and Bayu were in Adit's car while Sella was with her boyfriend.

It turns out that Aldi village is very large, there is a swimming pool in the middle of the building and a cool garden makes me feel at home for a long time here.

"Wah villa lo gede as well, Al," said Bayu amazed.

"May you feel at home, you can choose your own room. Here there are five rooms," said Aldi relaxed.

"Gue together with Langen and Amel." replied Sella who was directly approved by me and Amel.

"Gue together with lo, Bay," said Adit.

Adit did use the word lo-gue with the others.But somehow with me it is not. Maybe 'cause I look good at saying lo-gue.

We finally packed our things in the room.

Sella and I shook their heads because we were tired and wanted to rest.

******

At nightfall we plan to have dinner prepared by Aldi's domestic assistant who is a native villager here. Villa Aldi is included in the village only it is located quite far from the homes of other residents.

After preparing dinner, a housekeeper named Bi Imah was ready to go home. But before returning home Bi Imah told us that if the night does not come out because it was rumored gossip mengumbal pesugihan here.

"Mending neng don't come out. Here again rame people nyari tumbal pesugihan. There were three people who died unnaturally" said Bi Imah timidly.

After Bi Imah's departure we gathered in the dining room for dinner.

"Bi Imah said we do not go out at night beb , he said here again rame people died unnaturally because it became a mishap," explained Sella who was immediately laughed back by Aldi.

"Udah modern era gini you still believe the same so, beb. Rich village people," said Aldi underestimated.

"Cumbals are not only villagers, sometimes there are people doing gifts with random victims and in modern times like this, many people are looking for wealth in an instant way. Don't underestimate yourself if you don't want to be a victim!" my reply sharply made everyone at the dining table instantly speechless, even I saw a look of fear on Aldi's face.

I hate people who underestimate something. Let alone underestimating about things like indulgences that want a tumbal. I don't know what kind of evil person who sacrifices the soul of another human for the success of his life. Maybe it's not a human but a human-shaped demon.

******

We gathered in the middle room with the cards, I didn't come, of course, because I didn't understand. While being engrossed in seeing Bayu with a face full of white streaks because of losing continuously in the game, I kebelet want to pee. I finally went to the bathroom.

"Where are you going, Langen?" ask Adit to me.

"Bathroom, Dit," I answered briefly as I walked towards the back.

After finishing urinating, I also intend to return to the middle room where my friends gather. But as I was about to walk out of the bathroom I heard the sound of horse-whirring. Strange, whose horses the nights are just released. I also walked to the middle room to ask Aldi.

"Al, your villa deket same horse farm?" I asked Aldi who looked confused.

"No, my villa is surrounded by tea gardens and when I live around here no one keeps horses" replied Aldi. "Why indeed?"

"It's okay to just ask," I replied with a smile.

If the people around here no one keeps horses, who's the horse I just heard in the bathroom?
