Story At Night's
Ghosts Gosong

That day, I planned to visit my girlfriend who was sick at her boarding house. Pity my boyfriend Brian, because yesterday I asked to deliver the order cake while raining, now he got wind. He's good, so I'm sorry about Brian. She is the type of boyfriend who does not complain much and is always cheerful. Even sometimes I feel ashamed of myself, because of his attitude that always spoils me and never rejects what I ask.

Actually if there is no urgent business, I am lazy to come to the boarding house. In addition to that kosan guy, kosan Brian is also quite haunted. Being in an old building that has not been taken care of often makes me feel uncomfortable. I've often forced Brian to move, but he always refused on the grounds of austerity. One more thing that makes me lazy to go there, is away from my home. The location of the boarding houses is in the Awiligar area, Bukit Ligar to be exact, while my home is in South Bandung. Well, I try not to complain much. All this I do for the sake of my love for Brian.

Long story short, I got to that creepy boarding house. Old and unkempt buildings. For a moment I watched and thought. Maybe because this is kosan guy, so rarely anyone took the initiative to take care of and clean it. Even the parking conditions were very messy, until I often parked the car outside.

After parking, I opened the boarding gate. The sound of the creaking of the old iron door of the fence made me grin at hearing it. My footsteps rang out hastily stepping on the cements that had begun to peel and the sides were overgrown with moss. What a sight that makes this mood drop. After entering the building, I stopped the footsteps for a moment. I saw a quiet, dark corridor, this was the part that scared me the most, and Brian's room was at the end of the corridor. I was afraid when suddenly something appeared in that corridor. I quickened my pace, and as I was walking down the corridor, I heard a whisper calling out to me.

"Hey..."

I turned around and looked left-right looking for the source of the sound. But I don't see anyone. This feather stands up immediately. I ran straight to Brian's room. With my breath cut off I entered the very end of the room. Brian was awake.

"Lho, why baby? As the devil pursues!", he asked in astonishment.

"It's nothing!", I said.

In Brian's arms, I felt his body hot, it seemed like he had a fever. I opened the package I was carrying and told him to eat. While bribing him, I again expressed my complaints about laziness and fear of being told to this boarding house.

"There's nothing dear, it's just your feelings. The proof is that I've lived here for months and I've never seen anything weird. Let alone the problem han...", not until Brian finished his sentence, suddenly the electricity in the boarding house died. I was shocked to death. I hugged Brian.

"Light, just turn off the lights! I tried to check first well, who knows the fuse broke again! Yesterday was the same as this" Brian said.

"But I'm scared, Brian!", cut me off.

"The door I left open. Let's not be too scary" Brian said with a soothing smile.

Brian got out of bed and immediately stepped out of the room. I sat quietly on the bed watching him leave. Now it's just me alone and the door of the room is wide open. From the bed I could see a long dark hallway, and suddenly my vision caught a black shadow at the end of the hall.

The black shadow just stood up and did not budge. Slowly, the shadow moved towards me.

"Darling, why hasn't the electricity gone off?", I asked again.

I kept calling towards the shadow. But there was something strange, the shadow looked stiff, the path was like being dragged. And as the figure moved closer, I could only see a somewhat clear shape. It turned out that what I saw was not Brian, but a large tall female figure with a jet black body. His skin looks charred, He walks stiffly towards me, he keeps walking and keeps walking while displacing his body. I was shaking on the bed.

"Brian..!!!", my voice rattled to call my girlfriend.

Without being able to do anything about it, the charred woman was now right in front of me. Now I see his face clearly. His face was a mess, almost half burnt. With her red eyes burning, she looked angrily at me. Slowly his black lips moved and let out an angry tone. The woman scolded me with a language I did not understand. Maybe because I was silent, she pulled my hand out by force. His strong grip kept pulling me. Then she pulled my hair, like I couldn't be there.

"She...!!! Whoareyou? Brian please..!!!", I shouted.

The woman laughed and growled, making me very scared. Until finally...

"Hey, go you! Don't bother my girlfriend! You're back in the kitchen! Don't bother us! We have nothing wrong with you! It's not him that makes you so!"

Suddenly Brian came and rebuked the figure. The meeting was screaming like not letting go of something. I don't understand, it looks like Brian already knows about the female figure. Finally like magic, the woman disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

Brian hugged me and asked me about my condition. I could only cry while hugging her tight. After all became calm, then Brian told who the ghost of the fat woman was. It turns out that in this boarding house there was a man, call it Rifan. Rifan often visited his girlfriend named Angeline in the boarding house. One day, they had a big fight, the woman who claimed to be Rifan's lover caught him being in love with another woman. Because it was so bad, the woman burned herself and died in front of Rifan's room. The incident caused a stir in the people around.

Although not sanctioned by law for not doing anything wrong, Rifan finally left this city, but the spirit of the woman who set herself on fire remained in this boarding house. He could also become very angry if a woman came. It turned out that not only me, some women who came there had also been disturbed.

Finally Brian decided to move boarding, because since that incident Brian was often visited by the ghost of the charred woman. Since then, I have not been lazy to visit my girlfriend.
