Chapter 31 Marrying a Handsome Pocong
How surprised when Jaya saw the figure of Laras in front of the window of the middle room standing sculpting.
"Na, it's the Barrel!" said Jaya.
"Huh? The barrel? What's to do?" Ana opened the window curtain.
Barrel raised his head and revealed a pale face.
"Why are these nights in front of my room?" ask Ana.
The barrel is silent. He turned around and walked towards the small garden opposite Ana's room.
"Ras, where are you going?" call Ana.
Laras turned to Ana, smiling. He then waved his tiny hand as if inviting Ana to come out.
"I think he wants you to follow him" said Jaya.
"Masa, anyway? I'm afraid he's not the real barrel, you know. He could be a demon" Ana said.
"Well, close the window and you go to sleep!" said Jaya.
"Ummmm, but I'm curious." Ana then ventured to open the door to her room. Again, Ana who was always filled with curiosity made him follow Laras's invitation.
Jaya was forced to follow Ana after Laras.
“Ras, where are we going?” anna asked Laras when they had gone together. Barrel just smiled. Ana follows her until she arrives at a small park close to a forest and a lake.
“Ras, it's already night. Why go to the lake at this hour? We better go home later in the wind, loh.” Ana pulled the cold hand.
The hand was as pale as his face. The barrel looks like a corpse. Stiffened in Ana's heart the question could it be that Laras is dead? However, he still tried to persuade Laras to go home.
The pale-faced girl then pointed towards the tree branch dangling like a swing in the garden. The barrel went up and started swinging there.
"Yeee, the Laras why even swing here?" gumam Jaya's.
But increasingly carefully observed, Ana suddenly realized when she saw the awkwardness in Laras who was swinging. The barrel did not use a swing at that time.
"What's he swinging? There was no swing, Jaya," Ana said.
Slowly Jaya so followed from the tip of the foot to the head of Laras. And he found a rope snapping Laras' neck.
Ana also realizes there is a snare on Laras' neck. The girl's tongue stuck out with creepy glaring eyes. The body of the barrel turned out to be hanging. Ana and Jaya realize that Laras is not human. The young girl hanged herself.
“Byles!" peekkik Ana who tried to approach Laras but Jaya immediately held him.
"It's TKP, Na! Don't touch Laras' body!" titah Jaya's.
"But Laras is dead, Jay! He's dead!" pekik Ana in Jaya's arms.
"That means the one we were following was the demon the Baras. You have to report to the guards that Laras killed himself" Jaya said.
"He didn't kill himself I'm sure of it! He can't kill himself. This must have killed Laras" Ana said.
He cursed himself why the lack of attention lost on Laras. If you know the life of Laras in happy, already from earlier Ana will ask Laras to sleep in his room.
With trembling legs, Jaya brought Ana to step back. Suddenly, Laras appears next to his hanging body. Baras called Ana. He raised both his hands towards the woman, pointing at her.
"Princess Ana.. Come with me!"
Laras called out to Ana with a heartbreaking roar. When Ana and Jaya turned their heads, Laras's face turned into a skull with the remains of hair attached to his cranium. Just sober, Ana and Jaya shouted loudly while running home.
Ana's intention is to head for her room but the woman's step instead leads towards the edge of the forest. Ana shivered in fear. The night wind was piercing to the bone, but he didn't care.
How can Laras hanging lifeless but had appeared in a wrap only the skull. Even Laras invites Ana to come with him.
The pain and the body that is getting colder continue to feel Ana. Surprisingly again, she felt her chest part getting claustrophobic. Ana clutched her clothes firmly while occasionally patting on the chest because she could not stand the taste.
Suddenly, Ana's legs felt something interesting. The hands came out from under the ground behind the dry leaves that were scattered.
"ANA!" pekik Jaya's.
Panic immediately struck when Ana tried to pull her foot from the grip of the sharp hoofed hand. Jaya tries to help Ana by pulling her leg.
Suddenly, there was a black cloth torn to shreds that covered Ana's face until she had difficulty breathing. The oxygen intake was hard for him to catch. Sayup-sayup, Jaya saw a black-robed figure in the distance. Jaya wants to pursue him, but Ana is more important.
Jaya exerted all her strength and even bit off the hands that grabbed Ana's feet. The bitter and disgusting taste was felt on Jaya's tongue. But he doesn't care. He wants Ana free.
After the grip was released, now Jaya had to remove the black cloth from Ana's face. He managed to do it. Ana cries hugging Jaya. He's very scared.
"We need to get out of here. Sound the clanging of danger markers!" titah Jaya's.
Ana nodded. He was accompanied by Jaya walking back and forth towards the guard post. A guard is sleeping. He was immediately shocked when Ana hit it.
...***...
In the royal hall, Ana accompanied by Risa was crying. Risa tries to calm her best friend after telling her what she experienced on the edge of the forest. King Sumarjo and Queen Melati were visibly riled up and asked several bodyguards along with the Panji to check the shores of the Lake where Laras' body hung.
Sure enough, the figure of Laras was hanging there. He allegedly ended his own life because there was no sign of murder committed by anyone else. However, the cause of Laras desperate to finish his own life no one knows.
Risa and Laras looked at each other when the Patih Gundul family came. Ana then got up and pointed towards the Mother Goddess.
"You, you killed Laras, right?!" pekik Ana pointed at the Goddess.
"So what you say! How could I have taken my own son's life, '" he said.
"He's not your son! He's just your stepson, right?!" yell Ana again.
"He's my stepdaughter, but I can't finish him. He killed himself!" exciting Goddess.
"You even have a baby abortion clinic and sell it as soup, don't you?" accusation Ana.
"You talk, Princess Ana!" it was Patih Gundul's turn to cry out.
"What the fuck? What kind of accusation is this?" King Sumardjo looks riled up.
Queen Melati tried to calm her husband.
"Laras was going to tell me about his mother's crime. But now the hard evidence is gone" Ana said.
"By suicide, Princess Ana!" sahut Queen Melati.
"If Laras had committed suicide I would have been convinced because of his mother, Her Majesty the Queen!" Ana turned her head back to the Goddess with a sharp look.
"It's outrageous! You'd better educate your daughter-in-law to become a civilized princess!" The goddess then left the hall waiting for Laras' body to be brought home.
Ana was now faced with all the pairs of eyes that were fixed on her.
