Part 3 Mysterious Lakes

"Zp. The faza!" call Brother Rayi while knocking on the door of the mansion. When we reached the courtyard of Kak Faza's house, I felt a strange air around this house. Something dark and thick. While Brother Rayi knocked on the door of the house, I actually walked around looking at the courtyard of this house.

This place is shady, cool, because there are many large trees around it. However, I feel uncomfortable being here for too long. There's something evil I feel here, especially inside that house. I stared at the mansion in front of me, where Brother Rayi kept knocking and called out the name of Kak Faza.

Until Rayi finally gave up, he then turned to me. Raise both shoulders up with both hands at the waist. "Maybe he's gone, Bil. He did not go to school today. And when I chatted him, he said at home. Huh." Rayi looks desperate.

A shadow was seen behind the window of the house, someone appeared and made me shift the body slightly, in order to see the figure clearly. Rayi's sister who saw me looking into the house, then looked back. "This is Faza!" yells.

The door opened slowly, Brother Faza emerged from the crack of the door that was not fully opened. He just looks to peek inside. I was curious, and came closer to Brother Rayi. The two friends seemed to be chatting competitiveness asking for news, while Kak Faza looked chaotic. His face was gloomy and his demeanor looked strange, unlike usual.

"Gue can't come in, Za? Coincidentally again the same Nabila, we are worried about your situation."

Brother Faza was silent for a moment as if hesitant to open the door of his house. But Rayi continued to plead in many ways for us to be allowed inside. I know that the two of them are best friends, because when we practice taekwondo they are always together, even when sparing, they are always a tough couple. If they fight, we will have to wait a long time for one of them to lose.

The door was opened wide, now Kak Faza's face was clearly visible. Pale, with a black girth in his eyes. His lips looked white, indeed he looked strange like never before. And I'm sure this isn't a wendigo. There's something else, and I'll find out soon enough, that's for sure.

We walked inside, the atmosphere of the house looked lonely. It seems like she's like me, often alone at home because her parents are busy working. Who doesn't know who Kak Faza is, he's one of the most popular students in the school. Well, they're both more precise. Even many of the students in my class are crazy about both of them. And, if in the cafeteria they will be the center of attention of people. Especially the women. Rayi's sister has a gang at school. Besides Kak Faza, there is Kak Roger, and Kak Bintang.

"Sit down" Kak Faza told us. We are now in his room. Eve in the room was stuffy, the window was not opened for how long. The smell was unpleasant, and even the curtains were still tightly sealed. Rayi walked towards the window. "Crazy, you're so stuffy. That se-mager, huh? Just open the window, don't want to" said Kak Rayi.

As soon as the curtain opened, Brother Faza screamed. "Closed!"

Contact me and Brother Rayi throwing eyes at each other and feel strange with the attitude of Kak Faza. Kak Faza's condition is getting more unsettled, he is restless. And like fear. "Za, are you okay?" sak Rayi asked doubtfully, his hand was still on the edge of the curtain. The curtain that opened half, now slowly he shifted back, and now he quickly opened the window curtain.

Sunlight immediately entered the room. Rayi's sister also opened the window to let the air from outside in. Surprisingly, Kak Faza looked even more anxious, he looked frightened. Brother Faza pulled the blanket and covered his body.

"Za? Lu why the hell?!" ask Rayi again, then come closer.

"Yeah, I'm scared. He ... not let me go from this house, he always follows wherever I go!" she said with a panicked face. Rayi's sister looked at me. He looks confused.

The sound of falling objects made me turn to the wardrobe. Not only did I hear, but Brother Rayi and Kak Faza also heard it. Even Kak Faza was getting inching and covered all his body with a blanket. I was curious, and began to step foot into the big closet.

"When!" call Brother Rayi, I turned my head and he shook his head. "It's okay, brother," I said reassuringly.

"Don't!" Don't open!" raung Kak Faza was still behind the blankets. I hesitated, but I felt like there was something I should know, and if I didn't open the closet, it would all just go gray.

Rayi's sister came closer to me, we looked at each other. And nod. When I got to the front door of the wardrobe my hand stuck out to the door handle, before opening the closet, I looked at Brother Rayi first. Rayi's sister grabs a golf club near the closet and prepares to hit something that might be hiding in there.

The cold felt more intense, but behind us the atmosphere was hot, even since we entered this room. I took the time to hold my own hand, to curate the cold sensation from within.

"Cold, huh?" asked Rayi who felt the same way.

My hands shook a little, my heart was beating in a pretty fast rhythm. My breath felt short, I don't know, it felt like the air around us was starting to thin. I don't know if Rayi feels the same way or if it's just me.

The tip of my finger was attached to the handle of the closet, now carefully I began to open the closet door. The sound of wood rang out loud. Brother Rayi who was beside me was already preparing to swing the golf stick, but all we found was a dark room inside with a few clothes hanging.

"Nothing, Bill?" ask Kak Rayi, then get closer and bring Kak Faza's clothes hanging there. He then turned to his friend, "Za, There's nothing," he said, still leaving the closet door open.

But I saw something else, my eyes began to round perfectly. Because a shadow appears behind Kak Rayi. I began to retreat slowly, the gaze of the eyes could not be separated from something behind Brother Rayi.

"Bil, why?" she asked me who saw me strange.

"Sir .. beware!" I said to pull Rayi's hand straight away. We fell to the floor in the position that he was on top of me. But the shadow that was in the wardrobe, now began to show its form more clearly. He looks like a human wearing a head covering. Everything inside the large cloth covered all the bodies inside. Brother Rayi moved his body and is now next to me in the same position. We lay on our backs and continued to stare at the black shadow.

Suddenly he came quickly towards us, we screamed as we felt something hit our bodies. Cold and hot mixed into one. But suddenly it just disappeared. Me and Brother Rayi looked at each other, and looked for where the figure had been. "that's what?" askinya. I just shook my head, because I really didn't know.

"Za! Did you see that?" sis asked Rayi turned to the bed behind us. "Za? Faza?!" call again. I turned my head and it turned out that Brother Faza was not in bed. And strangely the position of the bed was still neat. Though we remember very well that Kak Faza was on the bed with his body covered with a blanket, and it should be if he went the state of his bed will fall apart. But strangely all looks neat. Brother Rayi stood up, he kept staring in confusion towards that bed. His hand then stuck out at me and helped me stand up.

We swept a glance to every corner of this room. Silent. Brother Rayi was also confused to see the state of this room. One question in our minds, and I'm sure Brother Rayi is also wondering in his own heart. "Where is Brother Faza."

The ringing of the phone broke the silence, Brother Rayi immediately grabbed the flat object he kept in his pants pocket. "Why, Tang?"

"...."

"Gue again at Faza's house."

"...."

"He didn't go to school, so I went to Tengokin. He's been acting weird lately."

"...."

"You guys went to camp yesterday?"

"...."

"What really?!"

"...."

Brother Rayi's face was pale, he ended the phone call, while I still heard the voice behind the phone still calling his name. Rayi's sister looked at me. "Nr ..."

"Why, Brother?" many confused.

He did not reply, instead looking back at Kak Faza's bed. His face was pale with empty eyes. I approached and put myself in front of him. Obstructing the gaze of his eyes that kept staring at one place earlier. "Sir, what's wrong? Same story with me."

"...."

"Who's calling?"

"Star."

"Continue?"

"OK, then?"

"The star said that Faza was missing. He was the same Roger that just got home this morning. So ... Who was it, Bil?" sak Rayi asked whispering, he looked frightened and honest, I also shuddered a bit in horror to hear it. I grabbed Rayi's hand, and took her away from this house. "We're going to Bintang's house, huh? Let's hear their stories firsthand, and we'll find Mr. Faza."

He nodded then I took him out of this room. I still feel the horror in this house. I feel like I want to pull Rayi's hand out of this house immediately. But I must not panic, seeing that Kak Rayi's condition is shaken, it will be bad for her.

The motor is fast. We have told Kak Bintang that we are heading to his house. Rayi's sister who still wears the school uniform doesn't really care about the gazes of those who stare at us strangely. It's still school hours, and there's one student hanging around still in school uniform.

Kak Bintang's house was not too far from Kak Faza's house. In 15 minutes we arrived at a big house. And I'm sure this is the home of Star Sister. The gate immediately opened automatically as soon as Brother Rayi reported our arrival. Once inside the courtyard of the mansion, Kak Bintang welcomed our arrival. He looked a little surprised to see me who was behind the motorcycle seat Kak Rayi. We got off the bike and the two friends shook hands. Kak Bintang pulled Kak Rayi's body and whispered while looking at me. I don't know what they're talking about, what I know must have something to do with me. But I don't know what they're talking about, because I don't have the ability to read human minds.

"Yuk, Bil, "let Brother Rayi wave his hand at me. I approached with condolences, because only this time I met face to face with Kak Bintang. All this time I could only see his football lunge as one of the school basketball athletes I was quite idolized by. "It's a star, I'm sure you already know him, right? Tang, this is Nabila, my junior in taekwondo school."

I nodded and extended my hand to him. "Hi, Nabila," he said kindly. Apparently what I've been thinking wrong, Star Brother is not arrogant or haughty. I do recognize him as one of the school basketball players. Because a couple of times I see the game every time there's a basketball race in school. I just love his abilities, not his people. Because of my assumption, he is an arrogant person.

"Yep, come in." The three of us went inside. Apparently there's Roger's brother there too. Brother Roger's condition is much worse, there are some bandages on his hands and head. I also saw the situation of Kak Bintang, and it turns out he looks fine.

"Lu why, Bro?" asked Rayi immediately approached her best friend. Roger's brother does look messed up. Those who were sitting on the floor covered in thick fur carpets soon dissolved in conversation between friends.

"What do you want to drink, Bil?" ask the Star.

"Eum, what the hell, brother."

"Okay, I take it first, yes," he said, then walked to the kitchen that was visible from the living room of this house. Because of his hesitation, I followed Bintang to the kitchen. Maybe I can help her a little. Or maybe get information about Kak Faza.

"Sister, why is Brother Roger injured like that? What's wrong?" I asked while pointing at Brother Roger who was enthusiastic chatting with Brother Rayi. At first glance I listened and knew that they were discussing about the incident they experienced while camping in the forest yesterday.

Sis Bintang who was taking a glass, then smiled thinly. But the look on his face turned tense as I asked that. "Eum, you must have heard a little from Rayi, right?" tanyanya and I nodded quickly. The colored syrup of the person he poured into four 3 tall and clear glasses.

"So last weekend we were camping without Rayi. We have been looking for that place for a long time, because there is a good place and there are rarely people who want to camp there."

"Where is it, brother?"

"Nilly Periculo. You know?" tanyakanya.

I frowned and tried to remember the name, but I did feel unfamiliar with it. And finally shakes.

"That place used to have a lot of dark history. Many people are missing if camping there. There is one area that is prohibited for camping, but, we do not go to that region. We're just making a tent near the lake."

"Continue?"

"Tents are alone, Bill. That night, after eating, we went to bed. My tent is in the middle, between Roger and Faza. And we also do not make a bonfire or anything like that, because we bring a big flashlight, the light is quite bright. And we put it in the middle, when our tent was facing the lake. Just as I vaguely heard, there was a strange sound in the tent of Faza's."

"What kind of sound, brother?"

"Eum, it's like someone's breath. Breath close to the ears. Not long after that, Faza screamed. Automatic me same Roger out of our tent, right? There, we saw Faza drag something invisible, Bill."

"...."

"I'm with Roger Nyusulin Faza, we found him that night. The jungle and all the places that Faza might go. Not to meet either! Until we finally gave up and went back to the tent, the intention was to call the police, but as soon as we returned to the tent, Faza was already there. He was again sitting in the tent, his position was like that Rayi," he pointed to Brother Rayi who was crossing his legs forward. "But Faza was silent, looking down. I'm the same Roger's a little scared dong, Bil. Since it was obvious that Faza had been dragged far away, it would be strange that he was suddenly in his tent."

"You guys, aren't you? Where did Brother Faza go?"

"Ask. He said he's not going anywhere. Just stay in the tent. Roger finally pulled me back to our tent. We tried to avoid that incident. That's why we tried to sleep, right? I just went to sleep, I woke up again. Now Roger's voice is loud. He screamed for help, I got out of the tent and danced him in his tent, nothing. I finally found him where to try, Bil?" ask me as if making a quiz. I returned with a confused look. "He was tied up in a tree, with his feet on top. His body was chaotic, bleeding everywhere. I took Roger down, and I finally took him back to the tent. And, when I wanted to get bandages and drugs in Faza's tent, he wasn't there anymore. Missing," explained Kak Bintang with eyes full of confidence. And this is the first horror story I've heard from someone. Horrible horror stories that really threaten their lives.

Cold drinks are ready to be made by Kak Bintang, we both gathered together with Kak Rayi and Kak Roger.

"I swear to God, there was something that tied my right leg and dragged me up into the tree. Just invisible, Yi!" Looks like the continuation of the story of Kak Roger's version has not been missed much.

"Do you smell weird?" I cut this conversation.

"You freak? Oh right, right before Faza went missing, which I said was the sound of people breathing, it was a stench all around me. Sort of a mud smell that way," explained Kak Bintang.

"Mud?"

"What do you think, Bil?" ask Rayi.

"Wait, who is he? Lo's new gebetan, Yi?" asked Brother Roger to point at me.

"God! If you speak the truth! He's Nabila, adek our class."

"Ah, which is true? How come I never see it?"

"Where have you ever seen, what you see is sexy!" sindir Kak Bintang's.

"Oh yeah, really, huh? He was Rayi's taste, "he muttered but I could still hear clearly. Brother Rayi glanced at me and looked wrong, then hit Brother Roger's head upset. "Diem lu! Just say nothing!"

"Heh, already! Even fighting! So how about it, Bil? I'm sure you can help us Rayi said you were the one who helped Faza yesterday, right? Everyone only knows that Faza was almost hurt as a mentally ill person, even though we believe he was not as mentally ill as the teachers said. Aye, right?" ask Kak Bintang looks enthusiastic.

I looked at the three of them in turn. Then take a deep breath. "OK, according to your story, there is a possibility that Kak Faza is still in the forest. Maybe the lake is the source of this problem. Because Kak Bintang said, brother smells mud, right? Maybe it came from that lake."

"Creature? What creature?" ask Brother Roger.

"I don't know yet."

"So we go back there dong?"

"Yes, we have to go back there and pick up Kak Faza before it's too late."
