pancason
61. The same name

The arrival of the special forces teams, as well as the citizens who took part in the search mission finally returned safely. They were welcomed by all the people who had been waiting all day. Dana, Hani, and Blendoz were also welcomed by their friends who had been waiting since. Hana and Apri were conscious and looked better than ever after being treated by the whole community health center. 

"So what about that village, Dan?"

"They're all dead. When we arrived there wasn't a single person wandering around like before when we came there."

"Can't do that, huh?"

"Dead it all?"

"Yes, everybody's dead. And suddenly he died. They're as if they've been hit by a deadly plague in the air."

"No, can it, huh? They were also well before."

"Maybe it's because Jaka's dead, so impact them too. Logically, it was Jaka who had revived them from the dead. So if the host dies, chances are they will experience the same. Makes sense, right?" ask Dana.

" It makes sense too. But Jaka really is dead, right? His fear was just camouflage to avoid everyone, and suddenly he was alive again. He looks like a demon too/"

"Well, that's what I'm worried about, too. But we can't stop it because the bodies were taken by those people. You see, right, the one they put in the body bag?"

"Oh yes, there is a. Continued to be brought in the ambulance puskesmas also earlier."

"Well, I hope Jaka is really dead. It is dangerous until he is alive. Crazy anyway, if the incident in the village of Tabuk Hilir can be experienced by other villages."

"Amit-amit. I hope there are no more species like Jaka."

Mr. Wiryo approached those who were discussing. This time he had changed clothes more neatly and formally. This makes a big question mark for Dana and her friends. The clothes worn by Mr. Wiryo are very similar to those of local employees with high rank. 

"You guys ate, right?" ask him while sitting among them. 

"Eum, already, sir. Thank you for the treat. Sorry, we have become troublesome for Mr. Wiryo and other villagers" said Rea. 

"It's okay. It is our duty to help you. After all, this incident happened in our region, of course we must help as much as we can."

"Eum, Sir. Sorry, this man ...." Blendoz asked as he pointed at Pak Wiryo's extremely elegant-looking clothes worn by the middle-aged man. And make him look more authoritative. 

"Oh this, I happen to be the head of the village here."

"Huh?"

They were all shocked by Mr. Wiryo's words. Didn't expect that the man they met was an important person they had once cheated on. Especially when they often see Mr. Wiryo in the forest because they are looking for firewood, like when they first met a few days ago. 

"Sorry, Sir. We thought you were just an ordinary villager because .... In the forest," said Hani, bitterly because he felt bad talking about it. Until Hana also elbowed her twin sister so as not to continue her words. 

"Haha. It's okay, Mum. I understand what you think. Well, I am indeed the village chief, but I am also a villager just like the others. If I am wearing this type of official clothing, it means that I am carrying out my duties as the village chief, with the government-ordained working hours. However, if I wear ordinary clothes, like you met before, it means I am a villager like everyone else. Because I also need to feed my family's livestock, as well as firewood to cook my wife. There was actually a gas stove, but since my wife preferred to use a fire stove, then we cooked more often in the furnace. Understandably, the habits of our parents since long ago yes using a fire stove. Moreover, the cooking cooked in the furnace is much more delicious than cooking with a stove." Mr. Wiryo seemed to laugh without any hate speech on them. 

He was indeed a respected figure of the village head in his village. The village chief was simple and not arrogant for the position he received. Instead, he was even more humble during his time as the village head. 

"Oh yes, sir, about Jaka .. Is it true that he is dead?" ask leni curious.

"Jaka, huh? Eum, I think he's dead. Because we saw it clearly, and checked it out earlier. He's already dead. Your friends also witnessed it," said Mr. Wiryo, pointing at Dana, Hani, and Blendoz. The three of them just looked at Mr. Wiryo while nodding assentively. 

"But is it true he's dead, sir. We were a bit hesitant, because what he did, yes, he could have been that easy to die" Diah said.

Mr. Wiryo was silent for a moment, he seemed to be thinking of something. "You don't have to worry. Later I will ask the team that was in charge, how Jaka's condition."

"Good, Sir. Thank you very much. We are only worried, if Jaka turns out to be alive, maybe the terror of Tabuk Hilir village will be repeated to other villages. We don't want kids like Riri to be victims anymore."

"Yes, I feel sorry for what happened to Riri's family and all the villagers there. And we as the nearest village know nothing. I feel responsible for this tragedy. I should have been to another village nearby to see their condition. So that if there is something that is not good like Tabuk Hilir village, then I and others will be able to quickly overcome it."

"Rubber, Sir. Maybe there should be a meeting with the village chief in the surrounding village, in order to establish good communication between each other."

"Well, right. And that will be my latest work program later. I say a lot of thanks to you guys. If you do not enter the forbidden forest, and get lost in the village of Tabuk Hilir, maybe this tragedy will not end. Pity them, stuck with an obscure life."

"Yes, right."

"Oh yeah, Mba .. whose name is it?" mister Wiryo asked, pointing at Leni who was sitting in front of him.

"I, Sir?" leni asked somewhat confusedly asked so by Mr. Wiryo. "I'm Leni, sir."

"Oh, Mba Leni, yes." Mr. Wiryo's face looked uncomfortable as he looked at Leni, like there was something he was covering up.

"What's up, sir?" The curious Leni kept asking because she was sure that Mr. Wiryo was hiding something. 

"Eum, look, Mba. But I apologized earlier. If Mba Leni doesn't believe what I'm saying, it's okay. But I just want to warn Mba. Better be careful. There are people who do not like Mba Leni, and intend to harm Mba."

Sontak Leni was surprised to hear the words of Mr. Wiryo, because what was conveyed by him was precisely in accordance with what really happened to him and his family. And that was the reason he had gone all the way back to this place. 

"What you said is true. The reason I came here is for that reason. I carried one of the flowers in the forbidden forest and kept me haunted by a creepy figure. He asked for the black orchid back, so I came back here. Fortunately, good friends, and would accompany me back here again. I felt bad, because of me, they were hurt. I'm sorry, Han, Pri," said Leni with teary eyes. 

"What the hell lo, Len. We're all right. Just a small wound, right, Pri," Hana said so that Leni did not feel burdened. Apri nodded even though he still looked weak due to everything they had experienced so far. 

"But I feel guilty."

"Not to think about it. Who must have come home from here, treat me to MCD. Mutely, "cetus Hana followed her laughter.  

"If I don't need MCD, starbuck. Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. Geez I miss hedon," said Apri with a clear face. 

"But, you city guy!" sindir Diah's. "Gue is also the truth," he whispered slowly, but heard them all. 

Diah finally got cheers from her friends. It was as if they had not laughed lightly for a long time like this. Ever since getting lost in the woods, and almost becoming a victim of a loss in a village full of the undead, they seem to forget how he laughed. And now they're starting to find him. 

Mr. Wiryo smiled to see the behavior of the young people in front of him.

"So Leni's safe, right, sir?" ask Ita curious.

"Eh wait! You said Leni was in danger? If Leni is safe, isn't there anymore?? Besides, Mr. Wiryo also said, if there are people who do not like Leni? Why do you say that?" rea asked who was aware of the strangeness of Mr. Wiryo's words. 

Mr. Wiryo took a deep breath, he smiled again at Rea's words just now.

"Well that's what I meant. I actually do not know about the black orchid that Mbak Leni took from the forbidden forest. Because what I see now is not a nuisance from the black orchid flowers. There is a black shadow that continues to be behind Mbak Leni since we met in the forest at that time. I was silent since yesterday. Because I'm also curious to find out what's really behind that Leni. Apparently I understand."

" Oh yeah? Is there really a black shadow, sir? What is it like, sir? Then who wants to harm Leni?" ask Diah enthusiastically.

" well the shape is just a black shadow. I asked the black shadow was being done on the body of Mbak Leni. He just said he was told by someone. Maybe Leni can figure out who that person is?"

"Len! Then the egg disturbance that we saw yesterday is still going on!" cetus Rea's.

"Egg disturbance? What do you mean?" ask Dana.

" so gini, yesterday before we left for the airport. I did ask Leni for help so she could pick me up, so we could go to the airport together. Because my dad had a sudden job. It turned out that when we were about to leave, and were putting things in the back of Leni's car, we found 1 egg rolling from the car. My dad said it was kind of stingy. Who sent someone to harm Leni and her family "

" Why can you use eggs? What effect is it?" ask Apri.

" If the egg breaks, everyone in the car will be hurt. I've heard of it, and I've even seen it before my own eyes. One of the villagers here once got a chicken egg, and ended up with death," explained Mr. Wiryo.

" it's crazy to be a drag!" muttered Hana while staring at Leni iba.

" Len, who would want to harm you? It's so bad to be a person!" timpal Blendoz.

"Yes, really. Malicious. These humans are the ones who make Satan stronger!" hani Tukas.

Leni fell silent while trying to think of someone who could do that to herself and her family. He felt he had no enemies. But it does not rule out the possibility that people who want to harm him have a personal vendetta against him or his family. It could happen, and anyone could be the suspect.

" Who are you, sir? I really don't know if anyone has a personal grudge against me. You can't ask the person behind me. Maybe you can see it?"

Mr. Wiryo stared blankly at the back of Leni's body. "the culprit is very well known. One of the closest people to Leni. It's not like he's anyone else."

"What doesn't anyone else mean, sir?"

"Brother maybe? But maybe I was wrong. Hopefully that person will get some guidance soon, and stop bothering Mrs Leni again and the family."

Leni looked silent. He still feels uncomfortable with the words of Mr. Wiryo just now. Leni also felt confident that what Mr. Wiryo said was the truth. Especially about the perpetrator who has evil intentions to himself and his family.

"family? who, huh?" ask Leni to herself inwardly.

" it's just that something's been bothering me all along."

"What is that, sir?"

" the figure behind Mbak Leni seems familiar."

" i mean you are not a stranger, has Mr Wiryo seen it before? Where is it, sir?" asked Leni impatiently.

Leni was really curious about the black figure that allegedly kept behind her body.

"Yes, I've seen it before. And I'm sure this is the same figure. What is clear is that the figure behind Mbak Leni's body is one of the forbidden forest dwellers. Another said he was a creature who also adored the devil who was in that well."

Not only did Leni seem to be very surprised. Other friends feel the same way. They could not understand How There could be a figure of the forbidden forest dwellers was actually directly behind Leni, and allegedly the figure asked by a human who hated Leni.

" To be honest, the strength of the creature is quite strong. He is one of the followers of the devil and indeed his duty is to mislead people. By giving anything to humans that will eventually be asked for growth. Fortunately, there has been 1 white figure, he is good, which also compensates you and makes the creature behind Mbak Leni does not dare to do things that harm Mbak Leni," obviously Mr. Wiryo while looking at Rea.

"Do you mean that the good man is among us? He's also an invisible creature?"

"Of course, he is an invisible creature, which from the beginning you go always accompany your journey until this very moment. Because that figure is the disturbance that you experienced while here is not too much. That figure is behind Mbak Rea."

Everyone turned to look at Rea. While Rea who was being stared at by them, felt gloating and could only bow her head.

" Mr Rea has a lot to protect, yes," said Mr. Wiryo while nodding a nod, and still looking at Rea closely.

"What's the matter, sir?" cetus Rea feels bad. Because Rea himself also felt himself not someone important that must be guarded by many figures.

Before long the chat was stopped by the hands of one of the Subdistricts, subordinate of Pak Wiryo. The two of them whispered to each other while carrying a large notebook.

"Oh yes already," Wiryo said to his subordinates. After his subordinates left, Mr. Wiryo opened the book he had in his hand. " I'm sorry in advance, but I need to take note of your personal data, because I have to report it to my superiors later. It's just a formality, so don't worry."

"Oh yes, sir. It's okay," said Dana.

"Well, I started taking notes, yeah. Eum, it would actually be easier to use the identification card only. Did you guys bring him?"

"Oh, of course we brought him, sir. Hey collect your ID," ask Dana, grabbing the wallet from her bag. They all took out identification cards and collected them to Mr. Wiryo. While Mr. Wiryo noted the personal data, they returned to chatting lightly. Just a stale talk about their college activities that have begun to take place. 

"Oh yeah, forgot to tell the campus! There's a signal, isn't there, here?"

"There's. Ranch, Dan. I guess we will get lost again. Make a scene on one more campus."

"It's okay. Let us be impromptu celebrities. "

They joked each other while waiting for the next decision. One thing they want to do now is go home and sleep at home. Things that can't be replaced with anything. 

"Amanda Rhea?" muttered Pak Wiryo and managed to make the owner of the name turn his head and look at him in wonder. 

"Why, Sir? Is something wrong?" ask Rea. 

"Is this really Mba Rea's full name?" asked Mr. Wiryo with a strange expression. 

"Yes right. My full name is Amanda Rhea. Why, Sir?"

Mr. Wiryo then looked at Rea with a surprised look. He even looked serious, and did not smile in the slightest. It is very different from Mr. Wiryo who they have known all along. 

" it's worth it" muttered Mr. Wiryo as he continued to stare at Rea.

" What's wrong, sir? Why do you keep looking at me with such a strange look? What's wrong with my name?" tanya Rea detailed.

"Mbak Rea has seen the well in the forbidden forest, hasn't he?"

"Eum, yes. I've seen it. Why is it sir?"

"Mba Rea also read the writing on the edge of the well, right? the only writing there?"

"Eum, yes. I have read. That's my name. I'm also wondering How my name was there While I myself first came to Kalimantan yesterday together with campus friends."

"The name is indeed very similar to Mba Rea. Even impressed the same. But the owner of the name was actually someone who sacrificed and he was the one who imprisoned the demon into it. That guy's name is Amanda Rea."
