A Bunch of Horror Stories

episode 18 (bamboo kebon )

That afternoon, around 17:00 at school, when I finished taking the extra lessons, the bell started ringing. A sign of time to go home

“Tringgg”

I packed up and was ready to go home

“Woi Ra, want to be with you? The cave this morning saw you on foot, surely now want to go home on foot kan”

“Eh Putra, do not need Put thanks, I walk only okay kok”

“Totally? Tumben, which motor do you have?”

“Mogok, this morning the cave brought to the workshop”

“Ohh, is it okay for the cave to stay? Mau maghrib loh this, not good road girl herself”

“It's okay, relax a cave girl brave”

“Hahahaha, yes already, yes” first

“Iya”

I left the classroom and walked towards the school gate, after passing through the school gate I continued on my way home. The atmosphere felt so crowded, many students passed along the road, some were walking, cycling, and riding motorcycles.

in the middle of the journey I was thinking of passing the shortcut I used to go through a long time ago.

“Duh cave body really tired today, what because it is not customary to go home on foot? or because of the inner torment of the 3 maples today? MATH, HISTORY and PHYSICS, haha kills caves slowly. I want to go home and continue to lie down on the body in the mattress, what cave through bamboo kebon only time yes. long time not through there, long time not through it, if you pass through it may be more shallow than the usual road cave then use motorbike”.

I decided to go through the bamboo. Upon arriving in front of the road leading into the bamboo kebon, I could already see the bamboo that was so big and high swaying to the right and to the left due to the gust of wind. I gulped my saliva looking at those bamboos.

“Kok so goosebumps anyway, the same why suddenly become a bit cloudy, not usually the cave so feel gini if through here”. I grabbed and rubbed my neck.

“What a cave not so through here only yes. But the puter back time anyway, already a long way gini, could be crackers if the body back again”.

“Betracked aja”.

I also ventured and began to enter the bamboo kebon, I followed the path that entered the bamboo kebon.

The atmosphere had truly become greatly changed from before. On my right and left were only large tall bamboos, not a single person passing by, only me. A cold wind blew slowly over my entire body, the bamboo swayed to the right and left in the wind.

“Cresec, crackle, kresek”. The sound of falling leaves or perhaps the sound of stepped leaves? as well as strange whispers and obscure sounds continued to be heard by my ears

I looked to the right and to the left but there was no one. Suddenly I smelled the fragrance of Cambodian flowers and the smell of frankincense familiar with the arrival of delicate creatures. I started to get distracted by those things, my hair standing on end. I lowered my head and slightly closed my eyes as I continued walking.

I walked for three minutes with my head down and my eyes closed. But the sound of bamboo, leaves, the smell of fragrance and the strange whisper had not disappeared, as if following me. While the atmosphere felt increasingly dark, I tried to dare to look ahead to find out the way out of this bamboo kebon was already visible or not and less how much longer I had to walk. It turned out that the exit of the bamboo kebon looked not so far away, I felt relieved.

But not so much, when during my journey in the bamboo kebon I was not alone, but accompanied by a delicate creature, in the corner of the left eye of my vision, I saw the figure of a woman in a shabby white dress, I saw, long haired irregular and disheveled, eyes glared with tears of blood towards me as well as a mouth that looked torn not far in front of me, the creature was sitting among the bamboo in the kebon. Without me realizing I was also looking at him and the creature smiled broadly at me with eyes that remained glaring.

I was startled by it then shouted hysterically and immediately ran as hard as I could with my head lowered, I did not dare to look at the creature again. I don't care if I've passed it or have already reached outside the bamboo kebon road. Suddenly I fell, bruk, on the ground. I looked back, but the creature was no longer there, I saw in the future it turns out I have arrived on the road outside the bamboo kebon, seen the village road and some houses not far from outside the bamboo kebon. I immediately stood up and started running again with the rest of my energy.

When I got to the side of the village road, I looked back again, I don't know what I was thinking, I thought the incident was just my hallucination. How surprised I was when my eyes saw the figure of the woman sitting in the same place and turned slowly towards me with the direction of 360° and smiled widely again towards me. This time I did not run away I rubbed my eyes, and how strange it was that the creature suddenly disappeared again, I was confused.

“Woi Ra!”. The son patted my shoulder hard, I was startled and immediately turned towards the son

“Eh Son, ng-ngapain put”. Much

“Yes you did in front of the bamboo kebon, you must have run out through the kebon, right?”

“Hehe, kok tau sih”

“Nih children do not know what fear, already tomorrow next time if not bring a motorbike mending with a cave, you did not know why pass through it?”

“Ng-no, safe aja”. I lied to my son

“Ya has climbed here, together with the cave already want this maghrib”

“Eh yes, by the way out of where Put, how new through here, have not changed uniforms as well?”. I asked while riding on the back seat of the motorcycle

“Ohh had just played at home temen”

“Ohh thank you Put, you want to be together, but less than a little more already nyampe home”

“Haha, yes relax aja”

As soon as the end of my horror story in the bamboo kebon, I hope that the figure does not follow me and does not show itself in front of me again.
