#25 - Risks Saving Risks

《Many people will feel afraid if they see, they are subtle creatures, but some humans will only behave indifferently, to cover their fears.》

Me, Dimas, and Rizky, panicked there was nothing we could do but call Riko's name over and over again. "Riko! Rico!" I walked to every corner of the house, but Riko's whereabouts I still could not find, until I met a grandfather, or can be said he was the caretaker of this waterfall. "Wasn't it, the grandfather I just met at the waterfall." exclaimed to make sure.

"Yes right young man, fortunately you can see me, let me help you get your friend back, earlier introduce me is the caretaker of this bug, come with me!" said the grandfather of the curug locksmith.

I followed him, which led to the outside of the old house. "Dit, where are you going?" ask Rizky, and Dimas. Confused to see me out of the house in a hurry.

"I want to save Riko! you wait here." I said as I left the two of them who were beside Ikhsan with his condition still unconscious.

Grandpa geezer, stop at the edge of the waterfall. Immediately I stopped my steps. "Hi young man, if you want to save your friend, go get him, in this stolen ghoib world, before two days. If for more than two days he has not come to the surface then, there is no hope for you to get him again." the stolen caretaker's grandfather told me.

After a few seconds, Dimas ran after me. "Why are you here? who's guarding Ikhsan?!" my many.

"Rizky is guarding Ikhsan, I also want to save my best friend Riko." Dimas said confidently.

"No!, all that can enter the world of stolen ghoib is one person" exclaimed the stolen guard grandfather. "The ritual will be done now!"

I told Dimas that the only one who could save Riko was me, and he couldn't help Riko. I also began to prepare the ritual to enter the world of ghoib waterfall, and save Riko back, by listening to the advice and remarks of the grandfather of the curug keeper.

I laid my body on a large stone on the edge of the waterfall, with a body bound to the roots of the sweet plant.

"Dito, remember grandfather's words, grandfather can't help you bring your friend back, which means you'll be alone against the woman, grandfather can only be a connector between your world and the world of this stolen ghoib, tell your friends who are beside you, if the roots that surround you burn then try to flush using stolen water, and then try to use the water, if the roots are cut off then reconnect, who can help you is your friend." trust the caretaker grandfather, who I immediately told Dimas, Dimas nodded confidently and tried to do his best.

"And also remember well, your time is not long Dito!" my grandfather told me. "If you fail, then you too will be a victim!"

Because of the orders of the stolen caretaker grandfather, ordered to close my eyes, and drip a little of my blood, to the root of the plant wrapped around this body, Dimas and I immediately carried it out. "Grandfather wishes you well." chirped grandfather, although it sounded a little faint from within my subconscious.

I closed my eyes, dark. Slowly a speck of blinding light appeared, but only immediately and disappeared, the dark was again visible, empty space, without a sound that only my heartbeat could hear.

Suddenly I woke up. "Did the ritual fail?" muttering to myself, I saw my grandfather smiling at me, but strangely Dimas was not looking at me at all, my eyes. I was shocked when I realized that my spirit was separated from my body. I could see my own body lying down, just as I was unconscious at school.

"Get in this waterfall, until you find a path, which will lead directly to the nest where the female figure keeps some of the victims of the stolen collision that he got." said grandfather to me.

I stepped my foot to get inside the cave, a pointed object flew towards me. "Why are you here, do you want to be a part of us? then please!!" that female figure pushed me, and pointed a skewer of her condens towards me, her power was really very strong. "Huhh.. Are you afraid? I haven't wanted to kill you too soon, let's have some fun." exclaimed the female figure in a sly tone.

The creepy female figure, disappeared somewhere, I tried to look around but there was no one but just a human skeleton lying down, not for long. There was someone who strangled me from the brink, it turned out that person was Riko. "Rik, sa.dar Rik." I said to wake Riko up, Riko looks very sad, with scratches on every part of her body, even her body is very cold like an undead.

"Rik, let's ki.ta pul..ang." Riko's giggling gets stronger, inevitably I have to fight, I push Riko until he falls, but nevertheless the female figure is still there, I push Riko, from behind me he pointed his condensed prick at me, I dodged immediately, so as not to get hit. But my left wrist was hit and bleeding.

"Nobody's coming home from here!" snapped the figure of the woman squealing.

"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry if you can't marry your lover, and instead get lied to, I know the villagers are wrong, so forgive them for everything they've done to you." I said win her over, and apologized for what the villagers did to her.

The female figure fell silent, and smiled. Towards me, slowly her tears began to trickle down her cheeks. "They're cruel, I hate them, they make me like this."

"But not everyone is wrong, and not everyone expects you to die as a collision, so go calmly, and forgive everything, it might be difficult to, for, you know, but when you take everything and leave quietly, then you will not be the same as the villagers, revenge will not cover you."

Slowly his form changed, his hair twitched back, his long nails disappeared slowly, his face became what it was. "Thank you for waking me up, thank you for what you said."

After realizing everything, the female figure disappeared like a fire doused in water, I immediately carried Riko to get out of here, after I woke up and returned to my body, but Riko was not there. "Dito! how did it work?!" ask Dimas to worry.

"Yes managed to save Riko, but now why is Riko not there?" ask me confused

"Just relax, your friend will show up soon" said the caretaker's grandfather.

And sure enough, not long Riko's body was seen floating in the waterfall and still alive. Dimas and I immediately brought him to the ground, but I wanted to thank my grandfather for helping me save Riko.

But when I wanted to say thank you to him, the grandfather had disappeared somewhere.

Me and Dimas, take Riko into the old house where Rizky and Ikhsan are. "Let's go home." exclaimed Dimas.

We finally went home, to the campsite even with the streets dark enough and the lack of lighting, we didn't want to risk a second time being near this waterfall.
