Women in the Middle Photo Part 5

As a police officer, I have always dealt with the problem of community crime. But when it comes to mystical issues and so on, it really is not part of our job. Because from the beginning I was assigned to find out if there was a criminal offense in the case of the death of a woman, I finally had to involve myself in this mysterious case. And it turns out that this story will be one of the most sinister and meaningful experiences of my police career.

From outside the room, I saw Illiana and Ibrom standing in a corner with tense faces. I went straight into the room.

Ibrom directly shouted “AWAS!”

Be late. Suddenly I felt like I was going around in circles. I was confused to step because the floor on which I stood was rotating as if I was standing on a merry-go-round. The room seemed to be spinning.

What's the matter?

My eyes began to twitch. The longer the freckles filled my eyes. My ears are ringing.

I realized I was about to faint. But what's going on?

Ibrom saw running towards me, he then pulled my hand and dragged me as if so that I would not stand there, at the door. But I was unable to step properly due to dizziness. Surprisingly, as soon as I moved away from the entrance, I suddenly gradually recovered. Curious, I looked towards the door..

Someone was standing next to the door

After I looked at it for a while, my heart seemed to stop beating. It turned out to be a statue. The same statue as in the photo Illiana. I can see it more clearly. A lady with a smiling face. The same size as an adult human. This statue looks like an old statue, with some color chipped here and there. Some of the color paint is gone, and we can see the wood fibers there.

This is the first time I have seen the statue. Previously only looked at the photo that Illiana had given at that time. Honestly, at the time of looking at the photos alone, I already felt really bad. The statue in the photo is looking forward, towards the camera, towards the person looking at the photo. And his gaze pierced me.

And tonight, I, saw the statue in person!

I looked at Ibrom, what should we do? He caught a glimpse of me then looked at Illiana. Illiana's hand held a match. I began to understand what they wanted to do…

Illiana from earlier tried to pry out the fire, but failed to continue. I took a match from his hand, trying to light a fire, while looking at the statue. He is still standing there.

After several times swiping the match with the box, finally the fire started, Ibrom hurriedly rolled up the newsprint he was holding, I tried to light the fire onto the newsprint.

Under normal conditions, if people saw what we were doing, they would have guessed we were crazy. Because we're trying to burn something in the building. But the ghost of the statue made us unable to think clearly. With trembling hands, I burned the newspaper. After the newspaper started to light up, Ibrom and I crept closer to the statue.

The statue's gaze was pointing at us. I don't know if the statue is alive or not. As one step after another, my head started to feel heavy again, I suddenly felt staggered. What the hell's going on? Ibrom seemed to be starting to feel the same way about me. But he forced his way forward and then brought the fiery newspaper scroll closer to the statue. The fire started burning the statue. We hurriedly ran away.

I thought the statue would suddenly move and attack us. But apparently not. The fire started devouring the monstrous statue. Nothing's going on.

Maybe it was just an ordinary statue? But then who moved it there?

Ibrom explained after I came out of the room, he and Illiana just watched television while chatting for a while. The two of them focused on the television, until suddenly the television turned static, and suddenly the statue was already standing there. Not move.

The body of the statue almost blackened everything. The fire started to go out. Strange, did the fire go out on its own?

Ibrom swore, he hadn't seen anyone since. He was sitting next to Illiana's bed, and would have realized that someone was putting the statue, after all…

SUDDENLY THE STATUE MOVED!

I tried to look more carefully but it seemed

THE STATUE IS MOVING TOWARDS US!

“Aaah!” I could not speak, and just screamed. Illiana also screamed. Ibrom immediately turned his head because from earlier he stood his back to the statue. My reflex went straight ahead and kicked the statue. The statue for a moment retreated. With still a smiling expression, he again moved forward.

his hands and feet moved like humans. Only, his face still stiffened unchanged. Still with a smile. Some parts of his body were blackened because we burned him. But it seems that the statue is not too piquant if we have burned it.

I was getting ready to kick him if he got close again, Ibrom tried to recite the prayers he knew. But I can see it doesn't seem to work with the creature. When I tried to kick him he first brushed me off so I fell, and he also pushed Ibrom hard to the point of falling.

Then forward strangled Illiana.

Ibrom immediately separated it. I tried to kick the statue again. The statue fell, but still strangled Illiana, who also fell. I kicked his head hard. The head started to pop and roll on the floor. But Illiana remained stifled. He almost lost consciousness.

The statue did not want to let go of his hand.

I started thinking about trying to break the monster's arm. “Illiana hold!”

I violently struck the statue's arm, and once a punch just cracked it. I finally tried to hit again. Finally broken too!

The rest of one arm. I this time with a stronger force smashed into his hand. This time his hand was broken. Ibrom immediately kicked the headless statue backwards. The hand that was holding on Illiana's neck, I immediately removed it. Thankfully, he was conscious. He coughed while holding his neck.

The trace of the giggles is very clear.

The statue stood back up. With his two broken arms he came back towards us. I took a folding chair and smashed into the body of the statue as hard as it could. The statue fell. This time Ibrom immediately stepped on the foot of the statue. I also hit her leg hard to break.

Ibrom then immediately took out another roll of newspaper from his bag. I reached into the pocket to pull out the match, light it up and we once again burned the statue. The statue was burned again. I saw the statue no longer moving.

After that, we can sit quietly…

The next morning, after seeing Illiana's condition plus the situation last night, it was certain that he could not come along. So I and Ibrom decided to go up.

But I made sure the nurse had to stay by his side. Because Illiana became traumatized after being attacked last night. Although the statue is based on their records, only appears late afternoon or night, we do not want to play around with risk.

That morning we went to the mountain. But we have to figure out the location of the cemetery. Since the three of them used the shortcut that was in the middle of the mountain, we decided to follow their route. We went up first to the top, then from the top just started looking for the shortcut they passed by.

After about half an hour, we finally found a small road beside the main road. Could that be the path?

We walked up to it, and looked around to see if there were any mounds of earth. There was one thing that made me feel uneasy. But I'm not sure.

We walked for almost an hour. Soon we will reach the foot of the mountain. Ibrom felt, we will soon find his grave. And it's true. I saw a mound of earth. And on one side there is a gravestone of wood.

The wood already looks rotten. Even so the writing of ancient script can still be seen. I looked at Ibrom. Ibrom is trying to compare books of Old Javanese script to match their meaning. If I look at it from a layman's point, it's a bit different from what's found on paper. Because it's shorter.

“This is different from the paper you found yesterday,” replied Ibrom.

I nodded.

“This..this is not a curse. It's written like a message” explained Ibrom. “That means approximately ‘The child of a mother who died tragically will avenge it.”

Not the name listed. As I suspected. Something's not right. I propose keep doing our plan at the beginning, “Come we do!”

“Fan, we really want to do it?”

“Ya!” answer me firmly. We both took out a shovel, and started digging the grave back.

This morning, I was the one who came up with the idea of carrying a shovel and digging his grave. Ibrom was very much against it. Three women who merely disturbed the tomb as a result of one dead, one dead. And we want to challenge him and dig his grave. He said I was crazy.

But I assure him, most likely we will find the answer after digging this tomb.

It took about an hour to dig deep enough. Ibrom and I saw an empty hole. There is nothing in it.  No bones or anything. Everything's empty.

“Your guess is right. This tomb... empty,” said Ibrom.

“Iya. My guess is right. First, if this was an old tomb and no one was taking care of it, it should have been flattened to the ground. But why are there still bumps. But if you say this there is a caring, does not look well maintained, the board is weathered, as if to emphasize to this man an ancient grave.
