"GIBRANNN WAIT FOR ME!!!" bella shouted as she followed Gibran who was already running in front of her. They then continued to run for so long down the rocky road in the forest until finally they were exhausted.

"Well.. Huh.. Huh.. Ha.. Gibran, I'm no longer strong." - Bella grumbled as they laid her down on the cobblestone streets.

"It seems that now that we're safe, Bella, I don't hear that tiger roar anymore. Huh.. Huhh.. Hahhhh." said Gibran with an irregular breath.

"Bella looks like this isn't too far away from the last village we met before entering this forest."

"really?"

"Yes, I memorized the road we were on. That you see there is already a gate that foreshadows the border of the village with this forest area" said Gibran then stood up and approached a small gate near them. But when Gibran approached the gate, the look of his face turned sour. He then returned to lay his body beside Bella.

"What's the matter Gibran? Isn't that really the border gate?"

"Yes it is a border gate but the distance of this forest with the nearest village in the gate is written still 5 kilometers Bella. We will not be able to walk that far at this time, we are already very tired and starving." Gibran grumbled.

"Yes Gibran, my body is also very weak" said Bella while holding her stomach which continues to sound.

"Gibran, are we going to sleep on this road tonight?"

"Where do you want to sleep, Bella?"

"It's cold and there's a lot of mosquitoes." Bella grumbled as she shook her hands to ward off mosquitoes.

"We have no choice. You better get some sleep now" Gibran said. However, Bella now looks busy playing her phone.

"Bella, what are you doing? There's no signal here, you better save your cell phone battery for help tomorrow when we get to the nearest village."

But Bella is now seen turning on the flashlight on her phone. "Gibran, look at that" Bella said as she pointed the flashlight on her phone at the left side of the forest.

"What's Bella?"

"Let's take a good look at Gibran, it's like a house."

"What's? Where's a house in the middle of a forest like this?"

"I'll try to get there" said Bella then stood up and walked towards the left side of the forest.

Gibran was forced to follow Bella from behind.

"Gibran, come closer look at that." cried Bella.

Gibran rushed over to Bella and saw a house in front of them.

"Gibran, how could there be a house inside this forest?"

"Maybe Bella, but it looks like this house is already uninhabited."

"Yes, maybe the owner does not feel at home living here so they leave this house just like that, I will not feel at home living in the forest like this." Bella grumbled.

"Bella, we'd better sleep in this house tonight."

"Yes Gibran, it's cold outside. I can't afford to sleep outside."

They then entered the house with the help of a flashlight from Bella's phone.

"Look at Gibran, there's a couch" Bella said as they surveyed the entire house.

"Yes Bella, we sleep on the couch. Although the sofa is already ugly but it is much better than having to sleep on a rocky path."

"Yes, you're right, Gibran" said Bella.

They then walked to the sofa and laid their bodies on the sofa. But just as they closed their eyes, suddenly the door of the house was opened, and then a sound could be heard in their ears.

"Bellaaaa." whispered the voice so softly from the front of the house.

"Gibraann."

"Bellaaaa."

"Gibrannn."

Hearing a voice calling out to them, Gibran and Bella opened their eyes.

"Gibran, did you hear that? Like someone's calling us." whispered Bella to Gibran with a trembling body and a beating heart getting louder.

"Yes Bella, it looks like we made the wrong decision."

"Come on" said Gibran then pulled Bella's hand. But when going out of the house, a woman wearing white clothes with a face that was so scary was standing near the door of the house.

The woman in white then looked at Bella and Gibran with a sharp look.

"The.. Whoareyou? We have nothing to do with you" Gibran said in a trembling voice and body.

"Don't bother us, if you're distracted by our presence, we'll get out of here right now!" scream Bella.

But the woman in white just looked at them with a sharp look while smiling with a grin that showed her black teeth.

"I'm Almira. Hihihihih... Give me back my identity, I'm Almira! Hihibihihih." said the woman accompanied by a laugh that was so echoing.

"Mihihihihihih."

"Mihihihihihih."

"HANTUUUUU." cried Bella and Gibran then ran away from the house.

They ran so hard and came back on the rocky road.

"Gibran, I don't want to die silly here we better go to the nearest village of this forest."

"But it's still a long way from Bella."

"It's okay, the most important thing is that I don't see the tiger or the spirit of Almira anymore" Bella said as she continued to run.

"Yes Bella, we should go to the village, overnight in the forest is very unsafe for us."

"Yes Gibran." replied Bella as she continued to run occasionally looking back.

"Is Almira after us?"

"It doesn't seem to be." replied Gibran.

"We stopped for a while Gibran, I'm tired hah hah" Bella said with a gasp of breath.

"Yes Bella, I'm also very tired hah huh."

Gibran and Bella sat under a tree.

"It looks like it's safe, we'd better sleep under this tree. My leg's already hurt Gibran a lot."

"Yes Bella, let's just sleep here. It's much better than meeting with Almira."

But as they closed their eyes suddenly a voice so softly called them back.

"Bellaaaaaa."

"Gubraaaan."

Bella and Gibran opened their eyes.

"TIDAAAAAKKKK." cried Bella and Gibran while leaving the tree.

Milan slowly opened his eyes when he heard the ringing of the phone ringing. He then took the cell phone that was on the nightstand next to his bed. Rachel also woke up when she saw Milan who was standing by the window while looking busy talking to someone who contacted her. Sometimes laughter could be heard in their conversation.

"Who's call from Milan? It's in the early hours of the morning, what business suddenly call you? Is there some very important business?"

Milan smiled then.

"Are you jealous?"

"I just want to know who called you." Rachel grumbled.

"You want to know who called me?"

Rachel then nodded.

"Almira called me." Milan replied with a chuckle and then laid his body back on the bed.

"Almira's? Isn't Almira dead?" rachel said with a frown.
