Trapped in the Kalimati Forest
Chapter 9. Meet Nita

Pov Rania's

😈😈😈

Hill waterfall? Find it? Yeah, obviously I heard him say that.

I saw the strange grandmother covered by a black light accompanied by a strong wind that made my body cold until it pierced to my bones. My hair is still standing, not going down to feel the gripping atmosphere.

Moments later, I was shocked by the circumstances around me as soon as I opened my eyes.

Holy hooch!

Where'sisthis? Wasn't I at the lesehan stall with the mysterious grandmother who gave me worm noodles? Then why am I here now?

The sweat soaked my body, I don't know how much longer I felt this fear and unrest. Now that I was in the middle of another strange place, I saw in front of me rocks and there was a slash of earth in front of him.

"I-this..not the grave?" I muttered and confidently in my heart. I believe that it is a grave and I am in the middle of it.

My mouth gaped, then I closed it with both hands. I wanted to scream right then and there was fear in my heart. If I shout, what if that comes not my friends but other creatures?

"Oh my God, I want to go home, I want to go home" I unconsciously shed tears, a sense of tightness and regret in my heart so felt in my chest.

I'm sorry, why must I be stubborn and enter this cursed forest! If only and had I obeyed what grandfather said, "Mbah Jambrong' it. Maybe I'll be at home relaxing as usual. But it was all my wish, the fact that I was here and stuck with my friends.

Just sorry, that's how I feel!

The reply of my arrogance that does not believe in the existence of supernatural beings, perhaps this is my karma.

My body is still unable to stand firmly, my tears are still flowing profusely unwilling to stop. I realized I shouldn't be like this and I should have risen. But my body did not want to hear, my legs were weak, my hands were shaking, sweat was also wetting my face.

Soon, I tried to get up on my feet, though I was limp. "Ugghh, O Allah," I murmured as I stood.

When I stood up, I saw a clear appearance before my eyes. A man was standing in front of me, all I saw was his silhouette. But I was sure from his stature he was a tall man.The tall man stood far ahead of me.

I tried to ignore the figure of the tall man and chose to flee. She's afraid she's like the mysterious grandmother who gave me worm food and blood drinks!

I turned around and started running, but when I was just walking three steps. The figure of the tall man suddenly stood in front of me. "Well!"

Surprised I was not playing, when I saw the figure of the tall man right in front of me and he stood firm. Her body was so tall, the rest I didn't see anymore because I was afraid to see her especially her face.

My body trembled, many times I swallowed my saliva. Suddenly there was a moaning from the man, I suddenly walked back to avoid.

I just took one step back, all of a sudden.

Uh! HOLY JEEZ!

A head rolled at my feet, I saw that head laughing with a face full of wounds. "Khikkkk.. khikkkk..."

Please don't bother me, please I'm tired of all this! Just give me back my friends and we promise not to set foot in this Kalimati forest. I thought to myself, praying to the power to deliver me from this fear.

"Yes..." I wanted to scream, but my voice was stuck there.

Greeekk!!

"Bhhhhhhhhh...!!" I was surprised again by what the head did to my feet, he prevented me from running by biting my feet.

I screamed not because I was sick, but because I was scared . Oh God, please get me out of here, get me out of here.

Moments later, I fell down as the hands of the stump-headed man pushed against my body.

Ack!!

My body collapsed onto the floor, then the puffer-head came closer to my face. Now it is clear how the face of the stumped head. The face was full of incision wounds, had fresh blood, was ripe with maggots, even one of the maggots fell onto my face.

Disgusts! That's how I felt when the maggots fell on my face. My voice was stifled again, I wanted to close my eyes but I couldn't.

"You.will die!"

The deg!

My heart was pounding at the sound of that big puffed head threatening me.

I don't know what happened after that, I heard a familiar voice calling my name. "Roman! Rania! Wake, woy!"

A rendra? Yeah, that's Rendra's voice calling my name. I want to open my eyes, but why does it feel so heavy. I felt a pair of hands clutching my body, shaking my hands. But my eyes were tired and heavy, and I wanted to see the voice that called me. Is it really Rendra, or is it my hallucination?

"Roman! Awake,"

This time I heard the typical chirping sound of Ivan, my friend. It seems to be true of them.

Heavy and hard, I opened my eyes. Sure enough, Rendra, Ivan and Nita are in front of me. Huh huh? The nita? Why is Nita there?

"Ran.. thank God you're sober!" Nita held my hand, a look of relief inside her face.

"Nit, is this really Lo?" I asked Nita, still can't believe that she who was lost was in front of me. I sat down and hugged Nita tightly.

"It's me, Ran." Nita returned my embrace tightly.

I saw the tired faces of Rendra and Ivan, they smiled at me and Nita hugged. Then they asked me to get back up and find a way out of there. On the way, Rendra and Ivan told me that I had fallen unconscious for almost two hours.

I was surprised, because I was in the lesehan stall with the mysterious grandmother. I told Rendra, Ivan and Nita that I met a mysterious grandmother who also ate at her Lesehan stall. Suddenly I was in a tomb.

"Seriously? Lo from nowhere Ran, Lo fainted and I bopong Lo body." said Rendra to me.

"It must be a dream" Nita said.

"the dream? It seems too serious to be real. If it's a dream, isn't it too weird?" I thought hard.

The three friends looked at me with questionable eyes. "What dream is it? Did Grandma dreamt that Lo said something?" ivan asked me, I saw his forehead wrinkled.

"He told me the same thing about the waterfall hill and found out, I don't know what he means." I explained to my three friends.

I saw Ivan's face pale as he heard my explanation of the waterfall hill. "Van, what's wrong?" I asked Ivan.

"We have to find that waterfall hill immediately! Maybe that's a clue!" Said Ivan convinced that the thing I said was a clue.

"There's no harm in trying" Rendra replied while nodding in agreement.

Nita and I also agreed with Ivan's suggestion, even though Ivan had lied to us before.

We looked up at the still dark sky, as if the night had never ended for us. We were trapped for days in there.
