“Where are you going?”
“Kear bertar no affair”
Andi nodded her head, letting Rizal pass out of the house without any interest in asking anymore. His vision was again focused on his screen. His fingers moved agilely, looking for a site that could help him determine the apartment he would live in later.
“Kalo here later easy to find, this one is already good but really expensive??” Andi continued to chat alone, commenting on the specifications of the apartment displayed on several sites.
Andi finally gave up, none of which was suitable for him. His phone was placed just spelled out, without heeding the warning if the phone was running out of power. His hand moved to pick up some kind of small bundle that was nailed to his pants.
That's the closing talisman. Its function? Of course so he can't be tracked down by his father. Remember if Andi was targeted to be made into a tumbal? Well, this talisman is used to remove traces of its existence so that the demons of his father's man could not find it. Andi made the amulet himself, armed with the instructions he got from the ancient book belonging to his late mother. The amulet itself contained ten strands of hair, five pieces of children's nails, and white rice that had been watered using chicken blood. And the talisman was quite successful because until now, he had not met his father's demon at all.
According to the book, the talisman can only be used for a month and after that it must be discarded immediately if it does not want something to follow. Andi termangu stared at the talisman in his hand. For more than a week he ran away from his home, hitchhiking at his best friend's house, and had trouble finding the right place to live.
Actually, Andi is not too concerned about the price because in fact, he has a cafe that even has branches in some places— without the knowledge of his father of course. He was only worried that his father's men, both subtle and violent creatures could find his existence. He had already promised his late mother to survive as hard as he could. Andi doesn't want her life to end as horribly as her mother used to.
Andi massaged his forehead slowly, trying to eliminate the pain arising in his head. He vividly remembered how his mother cried out in his father's fidelity by tying him to an offering stone in the basement of his house. Nine-year-old Andi managed to sneak into the cursed room, watching with his own head how his mother's face hurt when something happened to her. Seeing how his mother's eyeballs turned around to show only white, and the most frightening thing was to see how his own father thrust a sword into his mother's heart.
Little Andi could only be silent in fear in his hiding place, smothering his own mouth so that his sobs could not be heard coming out. Andi ventured to peek back when the voice of the mother's cry was no longer heard. But regret soon struck him when his eyes managed to peek out.
The father, was holding his mother's blood and then drank it greedily. A feeling of nausea immediately reached him, making him choose to run out of the place.
Andi gave a rough breath. The memory was certainly not pleasant for him. But then again, she did not want to be a victim like her mother. I don't know how many people have been used as collateral, Andi does not know for sure. But clearly, on certain nights every month, Andi will hear the faint screams of people who may be falling for something that his father raised.
“If I hadn't been a coward, would you still be there?”
“Clearly engak, hihii. You will die if you go out that night. hihihii”.
“But as unwilling as I—“ Andi's speech stopped. Isn't he alone at home? Who just answered?
“ANJERRRR!!”
Andi jumped in shock as she turned her head to the side. The ghost again.
“Do not be afraidtt~ hihiii”
Andi tried to calm down. Breathe in. exhale... exhale.
“L-lo exactly who? Why do I keep following me?”
The ghost smiled widely, slightly making Andi shudder. It's too wide.
“I?”
Andi nodded. His fear has diminished a little.
“I am nobody hihihiiii. I'm just trying to help you, but Grandpa didn't. Even yesterday my twin he burned time in the bottle.”
“I can help you. but you also have to help me”.
Andi's forehead wrinkled in wonder. “Help? Why should we help each other?”
“You know Des— Nina right? Hihihii. If not, there will be many bodies. I'll help you not to be caught with that ugly demon.”
“Corpse? What—“ bodies
Klekkk
“Ndi? Who are you talking to?” Rizal stood before Andi, it seemed like he had just returned.
“Neg. I trained acting again aja”
Rizal shook his head slowly. “So right on the road, I accidentally met an old meeting. Well he knows the rich apartment unit that lo mau”
“Seriousness? Where?”
“There is. Tomorrow deh lo I anterin there” Andi nodded in agreement.
“Price?”
“Aman. You are rich in fact, the time to buy an apartment is still thinking about the price?”
Andi just laughed in response to that question. They both ended up watching tv, commenting on every scene in the film that was being aired by one of the famous television stations. It's like a noisy football commentator.
“Eh, where did you go? Cepet terribly feeling” random question was thrown out of Andi's mouth.
“Custom, manage reports. High School Child case. Hngg nyusahin. Disturb my holiday bang”
Andi chuckles slowly to hear it. “emang rich model people lo can nangganin case? isn't it even an ancur tuh case?”
Rizal grunted softly. His hand moved to take his identity card in the jacket pocket, showing the card right in front of Andi's face.
“Gue detective if you forget”
"Judek. That's my usual card, don't have to scratch my face."
"Btw, your style is jamet rich there. Eh? l forgot. You are the wong java wkwk"
plaques
"There's no moral behavior"
The two then laughed together. Laugh at each other at the ridicule thrown by each of them. Please laugh while you can. Because less than a month ahead, you will be faced with a complicated situation. Pray that you are ready to face the situation.
