Terror Tak Kasatmata
15: The Untraditional Terror that Continues

“What rituals are they doing?” thought Asih stared at the curious space that until this moment was still closed tightly, in addition to the door of the room that was guarded by four people in front of his door.

Asih decided to go there because the terror call for him alone is still ongoing. Both of his eyes could not help but look curiously there especially in fact, he was indeed very curious. What really happened there, why did the ritual that was told was the opposite of what he felt? Whereas before he became a fish, the terror he felt was just ordinary ghost terror? The ghosts that terrorize her only accidentally jail her, after or before they disturb Aqwa. Due to coincidence, Asih works at once living in Aqwa's house.

“Queen should not enter the place of worship,” said fish woman and had Asih tanya. He who was originally left Asih gradually faced because of coincidence, Asih had deliberately stopped his steps.

Asih stared fully at the fish woman in front of him and until now just kept his head down and hid his face. “What's really why? Isn't this palace under my control?”

The fish woman nodded. “Because of the Queen, our queen and for us holy. So the Queen must not enter the ritual chamber because it is feared, it would be fatal to the Queen and this nation. Like, this has become a habit here.”

Listening to that, Asih became more confused. “If I, as queen you cannot enter your place of worship, continue my worship where?”

“In room, Queen. In the Queen's room has been provided many facilities including places of worship because the Queen's own room is very spacious!” sure the fish girl was still very polite.

Because it was too confused, Asih did not immediately comment. But due to the fact now, he hesitated to believe what was there. “This is my kind. They consider me their queen, and so far, I've been treated well. But until this very second, my heart remains hard to believe,” Asih inner.

Which makes Asih more in disbelief because the clothes Aqwa in his bed is no longer there. “Where's the youth's clothes?” tanya Asih without mentioning the name Aqwa. He did not want his people to know that he knew Aqwa very well.

The fish woman who escorted him immediately said, “It has been cleaned by the Commander for the good of our nation, Ratu.”

Hearing that, Asih immediately dumbfounded. “Everything is all for the good of the nation,” he thought he felt more and more noble believing the situation there. Asih afraid, there is another purpose, or even himself that is only used as a puppet and even tu*mbal.

While in the worship room of the fish that originally had been about to be broken, Aqwa clothing is really part of the ritual*l that is still going on.

“Through these clothes, he will always feel uncomfortable and even hate to Asih, until separation becomes the thing he will always do even though in the end, they deliberately met, until the breakup became,” said the commander while putting Aqua's clothes on the tray and around it was decorated with an incense stick that emitted thick smoke.

On the left but more behind the commander, the moss smiled in satisfaction. He who holds an antique plate of golden color ornate fish, and contains like a sesaj*en, smiles satisfied. But do not forget, his lips whispered softly, “Asih ...”

“In this way, our nation will be safe and you can be his queen after the young man returns, then give you a future successor!” said the commander while staring at the princess who this time had blushed immediately.

But Asih also believes, wherever he is, his position remains insecure before he finds the perpetrator of invisible terror to him. “How can I get into that ritual place? I really have to make sure what's really there.”

Asih felt she had to stop the terror she felt had bound her, immediately. The terror that he believed came from the place of worship of his people. The problem is if Asih forces in, Asih who does not understand the situation there, is afraid of missteps and even makes fatal mistakes.

Because Asih also felt, surviving there is the same as mumbling*balkan yourself, Asih deliberately left. Asih will return after he finds a way so that he can enter the ritua*l room without being hindered let alone discovered.

Back on the mainland, Asih actually has one place that can be addressed other than the Aqwa house. Yes, Asih still choose an aunt whose age is classified as old. Aunty Asih's house is in a more remote village and is different from the Aqwa family house. Now, relying on a walk among the invisible whispers that kept calling out to her, Asih is determined to leave the aunt's house.

The atmosphere of the night is still crowded, but Asih hopes there is no more terror than invisible whispers, let alone snakes. “Omong-by the way about snakes, .. female ghosts under that bridge—” Asih sure there is something wrong with Dewi. The problem is, now he who is in a state of drenched, it was stared strangely by everyone who saw it.

“Don't-don't, they think I'm not sane,” thought Asih. Especially tonight, the moon is bright.

After wading a long journey in the middle of the night is getting late, finally Asih arrived at a remote village that is very quiet. In addition to minimal lighting, there is also a minimal settlement. If there were, it would seem uninhabited. House walled rooms and roofed woven nipah leaves look old, rickety, even haunted. Asih who still has the blood of the fish nation, so busy goosebumps. Not to mention if you look around and in the form of li*ar grass that grows high, covering half of each house.

“This is whatan village? It's not the wrong address, is it? It looks like a forest.” After getting scared, a bright light in front of there and just came out of a house that was not so covered with grass, as if it became a fresh breeze for Asih.

“Alhamdullilah, there is still life. But really, when they feel at home living around a house full of grass the same bushes. They are not afraid of any snakes. Yes, they are very busy until there is no time to clean the house?” Asih feels strange, inexhaustible, and again awkward. An awkward feeling that again makes Asih feel more afraid.

“Yes, we'll be here soon. Straight in a moment, keep turning left, until the house aunty,” thought Asih.

Which makes Asih more awkward, every one who comes out of the house, compact brings a jadu*l lamp with a fabric and greasy kerosene burn. “Not now, kerosene is rare? Then, why is everything compact out of the house?” think Asih again.

Asih just reviewed a smile and is ready to greet the friendly everyone who is there. Because as if realizing his arrival that did not bring light, everything and initially looked down or behind him, slowly turned his head and looked at him. However, how shocked Asih because all the faces there pale blackish, while each eye is white and only decorated a little black. Those eyes were also instantly glared, as if they were deliberately driving him away.

“Inalillahi ..” In that instant, Asih was lying on the wet dirt road in red brick and did not escape the grass lia*r.
