The Mystery of the Dead Village
Episode 6 - Red Pomegranate?

When Alea fainted, her subconscious was in a vast expanse of empty land. Everything was dark, there was no light, he went around looking for a way out but the place had no end and the darkness made him unable to see perfectly.

Only the smoke he could see. The smoke billowed even more to make Alea cough, her throat as if choked.

It's alone, there's nobody around. Afraid? that was how she felt now, Alea shouted to call the name of her brother, abi to umminya, but no one said.

Alea continued running in fear, she kept going around looking for a way until she finally gave up. Lost where is he? alone and do not know the way home.

He was finally able to cry, hoping he could come back. Thinking about Kak Ali right now must be worried about him. Until that voice Alea heard,

Dek, up!!

Be aware..

Don't make you worry.

A voice that Alea knew very well, the elder sister called out to him softly and like holding back a cry. Ali's sister is looking for him, but she doesn't know where he is, how can he come back?

"Yahawk!!! Where is Ali? Please, Alea is lost here!" his screams answered the call of his brother, but at once the place was suddenly silent.

"Sister, take Alea back home, go torch." Alea cried out, she was really scared.

Until a strong wind approached him with a thick smog.

Hahaha

Stay here until I succeed in taking your soul!

After thousands of full moons I searched for you, you finally came by yourself.

Hahaha

Red Pomegranate! got you.

Hahahaha

Hahahaha

Hahahaha

The initial sound of laughter was so resounding that Alea was shocked. Who is talking? Alea doesn't know that. But the sentence he spoke left Alea confused, with whom did the figure speak? was that speech for him?

Red Pomegranate? who that?

Alea looked for the origin of the voice that was still laughing so creepily that she shuddered in horror. He was afraid, to whom should he ask for help?But slowly the laughter became quiet and disappeared, as well as the smog that gradually faded away.

He was still crying, his body was weak. He resigned and was only able to pray that fate could make him return.

His lips chanted the prayers and holy verses of the Qur'an which he had memorized, and recited using his fingers.

His soul was carried away to the real world.

Deg

Alea's body slightly snapped in shock until it opened its two eyes. He was aware of the condition of the body that is still shivering.

"Alea, thank God you finally came to your senses too, Deck!" pekik Ali gave thanks when the younger brother opened his eyes.

Ali hugged Alea's body which was still lying down with a puzzled look.

"Sir, are you okay? is anyone sick?" ali asked while checking Alea's body temperature which was still cold hot.

Danu who had noticed Ali's worries also thanked Alea for regaining consciousness. He was amazed at Ali who loved his brother very much. Even from earlier Ali held back his tears so as not to come out.

"I why, brother?" asked Alea confusedly.

"You passed out, Dek." Ali answered while helping Alea who was about to wake up. "Why did you suddenly faint? are you sick?" tanyakanya.

Alea shook her head not remembering anything. "I don't know, Brother." The answer.

Ali exhaled violently, she was so worried to see Alea like this. There was pain in her heart because she was afraid of Alea why-why.

"Sister Ali, this is warm water and the towel." Said Lia who had just come with the Goddess but a second later was immediately surprised when entering the room.

"Alea?" his strangulation when he saw Alea had come to a realization.

"You're sober?" lia went straight in to check on Alea's condition.

Alea replied with a smile and nodded.

"Huft thank God, I was worried because your body was hot cold shivering so much, now let me compress it to get back to normal quickly. Wi, here's the towel!" said Lia while taking the towel in the hand of the Goddess.

"Alea, are you sick?" the Goddess asked curiously when she saw Alea's pale face flushed red and her body wrapped in a blanket.

"Alea doesn't feel pain, Ma'am. Even before this my body was very healthy." Alea said weakly.

"Try soaking your hands in this warm water so that the cold disappears." Goddess' advice helped to dip Alea's hand in the basin filled with warm water.

"Thank you guys for your attention to Lea." Ali said, again grateful Alea got good friends and attention, he became a little calm if away from Alea later.

"Son Ali take it easy, we fellow humans should help each other." Reply Goddess and Lia nodded in agreement.

"Thank you Mother Lia, Mother Goddess." Alea said happily, their kind treatment reminded Alea of her older sister in the orphanage.

"Together, Alea." Said Lia and Dewi together.

"Goddess, Lia, we better get out, let Alea rest first." Chirps Danu who was silent earlier.

"Emm who are you?" alea asked only to realize that there was a man she did not know sitting close to Ali.

"I'm Danu, stay at this boarding house too, my room is up ahead." Danu replied while pointing at her room.

"Oh yes, greetings Kak Danu." Alea's reply made his interlocutor chuckle.

"Hahaha, he'd rather be called Bang Danu, Alea." Goddess Sahut.

"Ohh sorry Alea doesn't know." Alea looked at Danu.

"It's okay, Alea." Danu replied smiling.

"What time is it now?" ask Alea to everyone.

"Four 3 more, why?" Lia answered.

"Alea has not yet prayed Zuhur, soon will Ashar." Alea said, no matter what the circumstances, he still has to run five times.

"Sister hasn't, you go first, we're going out." Said Ali.

They left Alea alone inside. Then Alea immediately went to the bathroom to fetch some ablution water.

"Geez!!" alea's strangulation almost toppled backwards as she opened the bathroom door.

Whose footprints are these?

Alea who wanted to enter the bathroom stalled when she saw the footprints covered in wet soil, the trail ended at the end of the wall.

Alea was confused by the footprints that were quite large and seemed to walk to the wall.

Is it possible Kak Ali or Bang Danu? but why only limited to the bathroom and not cleaned anyway.

Not wanting to think much and linger, Alea immediately water the trail until it disappears, then he immediately berwudhu and pray.

While in front, the others were chatting by sitting on the terrace.

"And, in fact I'm a bit uncomfortable with the jasmine flowers here. Can not be partially moved or replaced with a variety of other plants, why should jasmine all?" ali expressed his curiosity.

"Sutt! don't you fuck up those jasmine flowers, Al! also tell your sister not to take care of the flowers, because usually Nyai Gendis will pick them once a month." Danu answered with warning.

"What are these flowers for?" Ali asked again.

"There's no need to ask, Ali! afraid that Nyai was angry, he would at least like to be asked about his personal matters." Lia told Ali not to ask any further.

"Oh, where are you from, Al?" Danu diverted the conversation.

"Originally Osi Bhinna, but has lived in Aosmhor for a long time." Reply Ali.

The village of Aosmhor, where Ali lives today, is opposite Nekro Chorio.

"Aosmhor's? not far, either, um, but it has to go over that bridge." Danu said slowly.

"Why doesn't your sister stay with you?" continued.

"Let it go, he wants to try to be independent and after all he's going to study at Luzea University, it's closer than here." Said Ali.

"Well we also studied at that campus, it turns out Alea was one of the maba there huh." Goddess Chirps.

"Oh yeah? it just so happens, then please guide Alea yes because she does not know the ins and outs of the campus at all, so if my sister is in trouble and ask about the campus please help if you do not mind." Ali begged the two girls.

"Honestly I was a little worried about bringing Alea to live here alone, however I couldn't always be around him. My sister has just wandered from a fairly distant city, if there is anything with her then I have to take responsibility. Leaving him alone here makes me anxious, moreover he has not gotten used to the atmosphere of his surroundings and will just learn to adapt." Added.

"Sister Ali take it easy, we'll keep Alea here." Lia and the Goddess agreed.

"Give me your cell phone number, Al! if there's anything I'll call you soon." Danu said, handing over his phone.

Ali received and typed his number and handed the phone back.

"Yes, thank you all." His words were sincere and answered with a smile.

Seriate...
