They still could not choose between the two difficult choices. Between Fauzan and Apri it won't be that easy to let go. Although Fauzan's attitude has been very outrageous to them all along, but all can be improved.
" so that Fauzan was also affected by something evil?" rea asked while looking at the King.
"Well, even if it's not entirely like that. I mean, that Fauzan already has his own grudge against you. For whatever reason, he hates you so much or maybe just one or a few of you. This is what makes the devil easily influence Fauzan to hurt you. He is not in a trance. Fauzan was still conscious and unaffected by the evil spirit residing in his body. But in his mind was contaminated with hatred and also vengeance, hurt or envy. Bad thoughts that made his heart also dark. So that he can't see the slightest bit of good that you have. What is in his mind and heart is revenge and wants to demand revenge for the hurt he has received."
" then what should we do. What do you think, we'll have to sacrifice Fauzan alone, to save Apri?" ask Leni.
The king was silent, not directly answering the question. To him, that question was also very difficult to answer.
" I dare not comment. Maybe you should discuss it with your other friends. Who knows if they have an idea. Because I dare not give my own opinion. It's about someone's life."
The King's words have a point. Things like this, of course, they must discuss with other friends. Especially with the guys, especially Dana.
" yes it is. We better get back home. We should discuss this with the others. I myself do not dare to make a decision, either" Rea said.
"okay. Let's go home first. But ... Is Apri going to be all right?" tanya Diah looked at them all around her.
The phone in his hand rang. The name on the screen indicates that Apri contacted Diah. Diah showed them all her cell phone and asked for an opinion.
" just lift it up" said the king.
Rea, Leni, and Ita also nodded.
"Hello?" sahut Diah after sliding a button on her phone screen. The loud speaker mode is turned on, so that friends can also listen to the conversation.
" if you want to discuss with others, go ahead. I will not hurt this girl. But I just give it an hour. If in the next hour you don't bring Fauzan back, that means this girl is the one I'm going to take!"
"But you have to promise me ...."
The phone call was terminated unilaterally when Diah wanted to provide other terms. "Well, killed. How dong is. Later if Apri why-what's going on?" ask Diah who is starting to worry and doubt about Apri's safety.
"It's okay. I am sure that the devil will not break his promise. So we have an hour from now. We'd better hurry back and discuss this matter with the others."
They also rushed back home. The time given was not much, so they had to rush home and return again to the forest to make negotiations again with the figure who was possessing Apri's body.
The ambulance is coming. Once they arrived home, the atmosphere was already quite crowded. Some people go back and forth with their respective duties and responsibilities. The injured people began to be treated well by the arriving health workers.
"Why have you guys come back? How, see you?" tanya Blendoz is on the porch of the house. After bandaging his hands he immediately chased after his friends who had just returned.
"Meet. But ribet!" whispered Diah.
"Huh? How's ribet?"
"Where?" asked Rea who did not find the whereabouts of the leader of their group.
"There's. Again behind maybe. Uh why the hell?" Blendoz who felt impatient continued to lean with many questions.
Once in the living room, Dana had just returned from the kitchen while holding a cup filled with warm tea. He was surprised to see his friends back home in search. "Well, you guys are home? How's it? Have you met yet?" The question is the same as what was asked by Blendoz.
Of course everyone in the room even those in front of the house were curious about the results obtained by them. They all came home with confused and tense faces. This shows that there has been no good news so far. But looking at those who were rushing in, made others become wondering what was going on.
Mr. Wiryo just came out of a room. The room is a room inhabited by Apri and Ita.
"Mother why are you walking? Where's Radi?" asked the King while looking around and found no whereabouts of his sister.
" dad is fine. Your sister is coming home to give news to your mother. I must be worried at home waiting for news from us."
" But you better not go for a walk. What did the doctor say? Is the wound bad?" ask the King worriedly. He then walked up to his father and led Mr. Wiryo to sit back on the living room table chair.
" How did it go? That girl is possessed, isn't she?" ask Mr. Wiryo and make them all surprised.
" Do you know where?" ask Diah.
" i found traces of evil creatures entering your friend's room."
"Yes, you're right. We met the girl. It's just ...." The king did not continue his sentence. He turned his head towards Rea who had been silent since then.
"So we've met Apri," Rea said, staring at her friend.
"Huh? seriously am! continues on?" tanya Hani was surprised and curious.
" he's in the forbidden forest. And it's true what Mr. Wiryo said, if Apri was possessed. The creatures that possessed Apri gave a difficult choice. He told us to return Fauzan and exchange him for Apri. Or if we don't approve of that one, then he'll take Apri as Fauzan's replacement. We were confused not knowing which choice to make. Both are equally heavy. Although Fauzan is not possessed, but we can not leave him in the forbidden forest along with the creatures so that is not it? Radja said we could have saved Fauzan because it's not too late to fix things."
" he asked for those terms?" tanya Hana seemed to be inexhaustible.
" yes. So we went home to discuss this with you. We can't make decisions. So what do you think, what should we do? And who should we choose?"
No one could answer Rea's question. Everyone seemed to be silent as if they were thinking of something very heavy. Of course they were all also at a loss to take this difficult decision. No matter how bad Fauzan is, he is still human, and he is their friend.
"Come, we have to decide immediately. Because we've only been given an hour, and it's been 30 minutes" Leni said.
They're all still quiet. Just looking at each other without making any sound. But now they have not been able to determine the choices they will make.
" how? Have you made a choice?" ask Mr. Wiryo.
"No, sir. To be honest, I'm confused about what to do now. We especially I can't choose any of them. Both Fauzan and Apri are our friends. So we won't be able to leave any of them."
Mr. Wiryo seemed to understand their condition. He nodded his head as if he would already understand what they wanted.
"So you can't choose who should stay and be sacrificed? That so?" ask Mr. Wiryo.
"Yes, Sir. We can't choose who we have to sacrifice for the vile creatures of the forbidden forest. So what do we do?" ask Dana.
"Yes already then. Keep your friends. Don't let that thing take your friend's friend. If you need to fight. Believe me, our degrees, humans are higher than they are."
"Fight, Sir? We fight them? Can it? We and they are different worlds. If to face the thugs maybe I can, but ... They can't even be seen. How can we fight them?" ask Hana.
"prayer. You don't believe in the power of prayer?"
"Eum, it's not, sir. But how? Because we really do not understand about magical things like this. Even for a lifetime, I've only met this weirdness here" added Hani.
"I asked, do you want to fight them?"
"Which other? Why is only one answering? I need everyone to contribute to this. Even though girls can still fight them." Mr. Wiryo looked at the girls who had been dumb since.
"We ... We would like to, too, sir. We're coming, too" said Rea steadily.
"good. So everyone will fight together for the sake of your friendship bond, right?"
They all nodded confidently. " All right then. If you believe in this decision, then tonight we will fight them" said Mr. Wiryo.
"But what are the plans we'll do later, sir? We have to plan ahead to attack there, right?" ask Dana.
"Well, of course. The first step we have to do is wudu. Anyone who is a Muslim, please take ablution first. We will gather here again. For other citizens. Do you want to help too?" ask Mr. Wiryo by raising his tone.
The people around them looked at each other at the friend beside them. Those who initially hesitated to participate in the attack on the forbidden forest, finally agreed and were willing to join Mr. Wiryo and Dana's entourage.
Everyone in that place happened to be Muslim. So they were all ablution in turn and re-assembled in the middle room. Once everything is ready, Mr. Wiryo starts giving instructions about the steps he will take later.
" our current opponents are quite formidable. But you have nothing to fear. Because there is a God with us. All we need to do now is pray, while on the way to the forbidden forest, or when we get to that place. Never break prayers and prayers. One over. We must form a line in a semicircular position. But when we get there, we have to form a whole circle and make the creature in the middle of the circle. After that the King will advance to fight the creature. How, Son? Are you willing and ready for this task?"
" i am ready and willing, sir," said the King firmly.
"Good then. Yeah let's go there right now."
When everyone was about to go out of the house, the King seemed to remember something and stopped walking and turned to look at the house.
"Why?" ask Dana who is not far from him.
"Fauzan .. is it okay if we leave it alone?" asked the King to look at Dana and then look at her father.
But not yet had the question answered, Radi suddenly appeared with 2 friends. The three of them were already wearing peci and also carrying sarongs. The habit of young people in the village is to teach at the mosque while waiting for the dawn adhan. But because of this incident they actually ran towards the homestay house and checked its development.
"Well, good thing you came!" tukas Pak Wiryo's.
" Eh, why Sir?" ask Radi to be confused. "Well, where are you going with the King?"
"So gini, Di. Long story. Tell me after we get back. But your job now, is to keep an eye on Fauzan who is still in the middle room. Don't let him out of the room no matter what. You guys don't let your guard down. Keep praying while we're gone. Understood?" ask King.
"Understood, Mas. Fine, the three of us will still be here while waiting for you to return."
" but you also have to be careful. Do not be fooled by anything that will happen later. You know who we're dealing with right now, don't you?"
"So understand, Mom."
"good. Yes already. We go first. Take good care of the house. Do not break the dhikr and prayer!"
"Good, Mas. Heart on the road."
The group walked towards the forbidden forest. While at home only live Radi and his two friends only.
The journey to the forbidden forest did not feel far and tiring anymore. They almost didn't sleep that night. But as if there will be additional energy that makes them not feel tired and sleepy. The villagers who participated in the mission this time almost numbered about 10 people. They were all trusted people of Mr. Wiryo. And also people who often help in every incident in the village. They are all used to studying together. Mr. Wiryo in addition to being the village head, is also considered as the village elder, or an elder and respected person in the village. He also often helps villagers who have spiritual problems. Not like a shaman in a big city, play religious leaders, because the method he always uses is only sourced from the Koran.
Along the way they did not stop reciting prayers and recitation. Their voices echoed to the corners of the place. The time given by the creature that possessed Apri's body was only 10 minutes left. Now they've begun to arrive, and they're getting closer to the forbidden forest. Diah's cell phone rang again breaking the silence.
"Apri!" said Diah while showing the phone screen to everyone around. Mr. Wiryo nodded. He then received the phone call.
"Huh-hello?"
" Why did you bring all those people here?!" Apri's voice sounded growling, and it became even heavier than before.
"Give it to me" asked Mr. Wiryo.
The flat object was then given to Mr. Wiryo. They stopped walking and listened to what the evil creature was trying to say.
" Aren't you the one who asked for an exchange?" ask Mr. Wiryo. .
"Hey, Old Man! Why do you always interfere? I don't want to discuss with you. The terms I have proposed are only two things. You just have to choose one of the two. Why are you guys bringing in troops and wanting to gang up?"
" How can you assume this is ganged up? Even what you guys did I was more vile than what we were about to do!"
Mr. Wiryo gave a gesture to continue the journey. He was still connected to the figure inhabiting Apri's body.
"Be quiet, Old Man! I should have killed you!"
"God! My father hurt you a little and I will destroy you, so that I will no longer be able to be on our land like now!" threaten the King seriously. His face already showed a sense of annoyance had already peaked. They started to enter the forbidden forest. Now they just need to find Apri's whereabouts.
When he started entering the forbidden forest Rea heard a noise coming from the west or left of his standing position. He stopped walking and looked that way.
"Why?" asked the King who saw the strange girl.
"Kok it's like there's a crowd like ours."
"Where? What crowd?"
"That! Like a human passing through the forest over there" pointed Rea.
"Leave it. They would not dare to enter this place!" the king said then walked first.
The island of Borneo is known as a region that has a lot of forests. Not only is it known for its exotic forests, but on this island also has a variety of haunted tourist attractions.
One of the mystery myths in Borneo that is quite popular is about the existence of a tribe in the interior that often performs human slaughter rituals. Regardless of whether or not this info is true, this myth may be a trending horror story about mystical rituals.
According to a growing mythical story, there is a region in the interior of Borneo forest inhabited by a group of mysterious tribes who often perform human slaughter rituals.
The unidentified tribe is said to be often caught having an all-black appearance with natural colors and always disguised between the trees that grow densely there.
According to the people, believe that the existence of the tribe is not as a criminal that hurts other humans, but the guardian of the balance of the forest that is always on duty throughout the day.
As a result of difficult to identify the existence of the mysterious tribe, many who associate that in fact they do not exist, and all this time who always terrorized in the forest is purely a hand of a nation of forest dedemit.
Regarding the truth about this story, back again to each individual and can assume that each folklore is a natural wealth that needs to be maintained.
