A Bunch of Horror Stories

episode 25 (nightmare )

On a quiet night at exactly 9 pm I could not sleep because I had finished doing schoolwork with coffee, I intended to go out of the room to see the state of the house, but all my family, he said, my father my mother and my brother are asleep.

I felt thirsty and intended to go to the kitchen alone to get a drink, but I was enveloped in fear and cold, yet I remained determined to go to the kitchen alone, after drinking a glass of water I immediately ran towards the room in a hurry because of fear like being chased by something.

After arriving at the room I intended to sleep again, but I could not sleep because my body was still trembling and goosebumps. After calming down I read the storybook as my bed companion, it contained a story about a boy named Arya who had nightmares because before going to bed he did not pray, in the book Arya is dreaming of being taken by her grandmother to the realm of death to accompany her.

in a dream Arya said “I am where this is?” then there was a grandmother who approached him and said “You are in the realm of death son,” then with shock Arya said “Am I dead?” “No child,” replied the grandmother, then Arya asked the grandmother “Who are you and what is your name?” “My name is Surti” the grandmother replied with a wicked smile,” “Who are you,” asked Arya.

“I am your grandmother, my grandson Arya,” replied Surti's grandmother with sadness because it had been forgotten by her grandson.

“But why I have never seen you if you are my grandmother,” said Arya “Because when you were 1 week old I died,” replied Grandma Surti with tears and sadness.

“Then why did you take me to your realm Nek?” ask Arya “I brought you to my universe through dreams because I miss you, my grandson Arya,” replied Grandma Surti.

Then I continued reading the storybook with expression and fear because the story was so scary and moving, because it was too fun to read I saw the clock that had shown at 22:30 WIB but because it was too cool I did not think about tomorrow school so I continued, reading the contents of the storybook.

After reading, I found a very sad episode.

“What? So how is the real nature of my mom and dad, huh?” Arya asked with emotion “Actually your father and mother were cruel people, son, before I died they never visited me and did not take me to the hospital,” replied Surti's grandmother sadly

Then Arya again asked with sadness “Why don't you just call them grandma,?” “I've called her many times but they always make your mother's pregnancy an excuse,” replied Surti's grandmother.

Arya feels guilty because her mother impregnated her grandmother did not get medical help, “I'm sorry ya nek because mom is impregnating me so they can not visit you,” said Arya by crying “Nothing my grandson is not your fault but it is already the destiny of God, no one knows his death except god,” replied Surti's grandmother.

“But what do you mean by the cruel nature of my father and mother, Grandma?” Ask Arya “Yearly time you did not exist and your brother was still in 4th grade Elementary your father always scolded your brother because when he had permission to play with his friends your father did not allow it and instead scolded him,” reply grandma Surti.

“Then what else did my father do to my brother grandma,?” Arya asked angrily, “Your brother was once restrained, should not go out to play with his friend,” replied the grandmother

“If my mother she ever treated anything against my feet, then?” Ask Arya with a sense of emotion and angry “Your mother always told your sister to do homework, while your mother was just cool playing HP and watching TV, if your sister does not clean when sweeping your mother will hit her feet with a broom, if your sister does not clean when washing dishes, your mother will break a glass glass glass into her hands until it bleeds,” replied Grandma Surti

And Arya again asked with curiosity “Why do not you defend my brother alone grandma,” “If grandma defend your brother father and mother will be worse to treat grandmother than your sister, you will be worse off,” replied Grandma Surti by crying.

Then I continued to read the storybook coolly because the storyline was not too scary, I did not see the clock again because it was focused on reading, even though the clock had shown at 23:10 WIB, I ignored the late night to read the storybook, but after the clock turned 05.15 WIB I woke up, because last night was just my dream, I had nightmares because I did not read a prayer before bed, so as not to have a nightmare I always prayed before going to bed.
