The quarrel in the family also happened again, Risda cried in her room by covering her face with a pillow because she did not want to hear the speech that made her more hurt.
Risda was very tired of listening to this, even as if the quarrel was endless. Every time his father came home from work, the house would be filled with tears, they did not know that at that time his own son was mentally beaten to death.
It was they who fought, but it was their son who felt the most profound sorrow. Moreover, the girl who had just turned 7 years old, that little girl had to feel the pain of the quarrel.
Right now, Risda was sleeping in her room with the lights off, in the middle of the darkness she was sitting while hugging her bent legs. He was terrified when he heard that voice that was so heartbreaking.
"Why are Mom and Dad like this? Do they love Risda anymore? Mother, Risda was afraid," said Risda softly as she buried her face between her knees.
Risda covered her ears with both hands, she was really scared. Not afraid because his room was pitch black, but he was afraid to hear the sound of the rough voice that made his little heart scream in fear.
Not only heard a rough voice, but he also heard an item that seemed to be being thrown, even the closet sounded like it was being kicked down, the door seemed to be being broken. That made Risda even more frightened, and even she did not dare to open her eyes.
"Go from here! You have betrayed me!"
The voice of the Goddess seemed to be echoing in the house, there was nothing more frightening than that sound for Risda. Risda ventured out of her room, opening a little mosquito net on the door to see what was really going on.
He was so surprised when he saw the condition of the house was messy, goods scattered, glasses and dishes were splattered on the floor. Risda who saw it was even more afraid, she also saw her mother and father pushing each other.
His mother also hit a wall until a very loud impact sound, seeing it immediately makes Risda rush to hug his mother, he does not want his mother why.
"Don't beat Mommy again! Hua.l....." Shouted Risda by hugging her Mother very tightly.
"Surge you!" Sent his father while pulling Risda's hand violently.
"No!! Don't beat up Mother!"
Risda was completely unwilling to let go of his embrace from inside his mother's arms, seeing that it instantly made Sandi punch the wall next to them so fiercely. After that, Sandi immediately rushed to leave the place in anger.
"Mother, Risda was afraid," Cicit Risda quietly and buried his face in the Goddess' chest.
"If one day Risda is told to choose to join Mother or Follow Father, which one will Risda choose?" Ask the Goddess with tears.
Risda did not understand the meaning of the remark at all, because he was still a child and did not understand the meaning of the divorce so he did not know the meaning of the question.
"You come with Mother, the same evil father Mother. Risda doesn't want to be the same Dad, Risda wants the same Mother,"
Hearing Risda's words, it immediately made Dewi hug her child's body tightly. Currently, Indah is going to wander to work so that she does not know what is happening in her home, she only went to school until she was in Junior High School.
That's what makes Indah feel jealous of Risda who can go to school until she is in High School, because it is her own choice in order to marry the person she loves, and without thinking about what his future will be like.
***
Risda was running around in the middle of the darkness to look for the figure of his mother, he did not expect that his mother went from the house without saying goodbye to anyone. The fight at home was getting worse with the increase of the day, as if there would be no receding at all.
"Mother! Mother where?" Shouted Risda while calling her mother.
Behind his house, there was a large garden and it belonged to a man. Risda was running around the place when the time showed at 11 pm to look for her mother alone, and she did not care at all about the surrounding environment, even he who had always been afraid of the darkness was now turned into a lover of darkness.
"Mother don't leave, Risda. Risda was afraid of Mother, hiks..hiks.." Risda was looking for the existence of the Goddess.
The Goddess had been away from home since after the Adhan, since her parents had fought again, and the Goddess ran between the darkness of the night. Risda was afraid of being left behind by her mother so that she did not pay attention to the environment around her, without her realizing that she went too far and entered the cemetery area in the village.
"Mother hiks.. hiks.. hyks.." Risda cried at night in the middle of the grave.
The 7-year-old girl, indeed so in the cemetery area, she did not know that she had entered the known haunted cemetery area. Risda cried as if she wanted to find her mother, but she did not find the existence of her mother at all.
The cemetery looked so dark because there was no light there, because there was no light for the cemetery. The road was once given a lamp but was immediately revoked by a new law. Lurah was favoritism for the hamlet inhabited by Risda because no one chose it at that time.
Risda does live in the countryside and away from the city, the school is in the city but the labor time is long enough to get to his home. The distance between home and school is about 40km, it makes Risda go to school on his motorbike.
"Go home, son. It's not good for a child to cry here like that" said someone holding his shoulder.
Risda's view is not very clear to see the face of the person, because the dark place itself only sees black shadows only. Risda knew from his voice that he was an old man and Risda had never heard that voice.
"Whose grandfather?" Risda asked while wiping away those tears.
"His grandfather is here, hurry up and leave before many creatures come after you,"
"Risda's scared,"
"No papa, Grandpa will keep it here until you leave this place,"
"This where's Cake? Why is it so dark?"
"It's a funeral,"
"Cemetery?" Risda asked in surprise.
The voice of the owl was heard by him very clearly, a few seconds later Grandpa Grandpa disappeared from the presence of Risda just like that. As if his body would just disappear, he turned to and fro and he saw the number of tombstones in that place.
Seeing it immediately made Risda step back slowly, but suddenly his feet tripped by the tombstone behind him. Risda also fell very hard on the ground, to make his palm scratched by rocks.
"Akhs.. Risda's hand hurts, hiks. hiks.." Risda cried while blowing the niup of her scratched palm.
Risda then got up from her seat, she was very frightened at the moment and she was trying to get away from that place. When stepping away, he seemed as if someone would follow him from behind, he also increased his walking speed because of his fear.
On the road, Risda briefly saw the figure of a woman in all white clothes floating over the trees. Seeing that instantly made Risda stunned without being able to step her legs, the figure was a kuntilanak figure that appeared before Risda.
Seeing that it immediately made Risda swallow her saliva with difficulty, her cries stopped arriving. It was no longer able to explain how scared he was at the moment, his two eyes did not blink at all.
For the first time he witnessed firsthand the creepy figure that is usually in horror film films, the figure of a woman in long white clothes with long unraveled hair was also turned back to Risda. Risda seemed to be feeling an overwhelming energy at this moment, an energy capable of making her instantly feel goosebumps and limp.
He did not know what was happening at the moment, even he did not realize it because his mind had gone somewhere. Risda shook his head to wake himself up, at a glance he saw the shadow of his mother who was far enough away from him.
"Mother!" Shouted Risda calling his mother.
Risda then ran towards his mother without paying attention to the environment around him, he dropped his body in his mother's arms, but his mother just kept silent without returning the embrace of Risda.
"Mother where are you? Risda was very afraid when Mother left," said Risda who again sobbed in tears.
The figure was still silent without answering the words of Risda, feeling that her mother just kept quiet made Risda let go of her embrace. He saw the face of his mother who was very pale, as if there would be no blood flowing in her body.
"Mother is sick?" Ask Risda.
"Rome!" Call someone from behind him.
Risda turned to look at who called him, he saw his mother who was not far from him. Risda was confused why his mother was two, he turned back to the figure before but the figure behind him had disappeared.
"What are you doing here, son?" Ask Mother.
"Mother where are you? Risda from earlier looking for Mother, Risda was afraid to be home alone," said Risda as if it would feel so heavy.
"Sorry Mother yes, if Risda has grown up later, Risda will know what Mother does. Come home, don't stay here tonight," Invite the Goddess.
Risda was still confused by what he was going through tonight, about the figure of the old grandfather who was in the cemetery, about the figure of a woman who floated in the air, and also the figure of a creature disguised as his mother.
Risda also complied with the invitation from his mother, both of them immediately rushed to leave the place. Arriving at home, Dewi immediately told Risda to enter the house, while she was still outside.
"Wouldn't you come in?" Risda asked while frowning.
"No, Risda just come in."
"No, Risda wants the same Mother. Risda doesn't want to go in alone,"
"Risda, listen to Mother yes, Mother where to go. Later if your father nyari Mommy, just say Mother go,"
"Where's the mama going? Risda's coming,"
"Where's the mother going, you want to hide from your father."
"Mother promise? Mommy won't miss Risda,"
"Yes, Mother promises Risda. Mother will always accompany Risda, wherever Risda goes,"
At exactly 12 pm, Risda went back inside his house. The atmosphere of the house seemed so quiet and silent, Risda then laid her body on the mattress of her room because of fatigue. Risda was still thinking about the previous incident, the shadow of the magical creature was constantly floating in his mind.
Risda then closed his eyes because of fatigue, he did not usually sleep in this hour because usually Risda will sleep in 8 nights. Not yet had he fallen asleep, he felt someone enter his room, and Risda immediately opened his eyes.
"Where's your mom?" Ask Sandi in her harsh tone to Risda.
"I don't know, Dad." Risda said and immediately cried because she never got such a harsh word.
Brakkk...
Sandi also hit the wardrobe in Risda's room with a bang, it immediately made Risda surprised instead of playing. Risda reflex covered her ears and closed her eyes tightly.
"Children are useful! Tell me where your mother is!" Sentak Sandi to Risda.
"I don't know! He's gone to leave me!" Sent Risda with a loud voice to match the voice of his father.
As if Risda would have no respect for her father anymore, her tone was not much different from her father's tone to him. Hearing that immediately made Sandi slap hard on Risda's cheek, to make Risda scream in pain because of it.
The sound of Risda's cry was getting louder, he did not care that the neighbors would come later to his house. Heartache, physical pain, even mental pain that he now feels. As if he would be mentally beaten up at this time, there was no more affection, no more fatherly love for him anymore.
Risda held her cheek with a hard, sore, hot, numb, and pain she felt in her cheek. For the first time Sandi slapped her 7-year-old son, Risda did not expect that his father would have the heart to do that to him.
*Flash back off*
Risda clasped his hand tightly, and he smashed his fist against the wall next to it. It was exactly the same thing that Sandi had done to him, Risda was Sandi in the female version.
"Gue don't care if you're dead or alive! Mending you get out of this world! Are you not satisfied to learn mentally your own child ha! What awaits me to die new you'll appreciate me!" Shouted Risda in her room.
Risda hit him on the wall again, not caring that his hand would be hurt. The pain in his chest came back and it was so painful, he just stopped hitting the wall when his hands started to numb.
"Gue doesn't want to live again, hiks.." The very heart-wrenching cry of Risda.
Risda also took the cutter in the drawer next to him, he also saw that the object looked so sharp. His hand shook as he held the sharp object, with both of his eyes continuing to shed those tears.
"When I die, will you all be aware of my existence? I'm tired, let me go and never come back. A person is precious when he is gone, and I want to be appreciated by all of you."
Risda's tears were no longer able to be dammed, he then put the cutter into his pocket. He also denied a key as long as his motorbike, he then rushed out of his room and rode his motorcycle to go somewhere.
Risda stopped his motorcycle dissect on a bridge not far from his house. He also saw a very calm flow of water, but the river was just enough to make someone drift and drown because of it.
"Gue go first, huh? I do not want you to bother to bury my corpse later, and let the river water do everything for Risda, sorry Risda yes. Risda couldn't afford to live much longer,"
Risda then took out the cutter she had brought before and held it in her canine hand. He then climbed the river's walls, and prepared to jump later. Risda raised her left hand and prepared to cut her pulse.
"My blood is few, and if it runs out then I'll be faster to meet death."
Risda laughed, a laugh filled with sadness in it. Although he laughed, but his tears continued to flow without stopping, his gaze was fixed on the cutter in his right hand and the cutter he pointed to his left wrist.
"Goodbye, Risda doesn't want to try you again. Thank you for the wounds that you have inflicted on Risda all this time, Risda said yes?"
