Cempaka Bride

Zein fainted

Zein's eyes combed every corner of the courtyard. Trying to ascertain the faint figure under the mango tree.

"Abang, where are you going?" triska asked as Zein moved to let go of the hand and turned towards the door.

"Front," he answered briefly.

"I'm coming" Triska said as she approached.

"No need. You're here."

"Just come!"

"Abang says don't let it suck!" firmly Zein. He smiled when he saw Triska's face scowl.

"There's danger, honey. You are afraid that you are not strong, you can be possessed like Ayu at that time," explained Zein.

"You're there, brother, what?" triska asked with an anxious look on her face.

"That's okay. Ehm .. gini aja. You wake up the boys. Ask Satya to come outside. The others stayed in the garage. Okay?"

Triska nodded, unwilling to argue anymore.

He could only resign as Zein unlocked the front door and stepped outside the house.

While Zein was ahead, Triska ran to Satya's room and directly banged on the door with all her might.

"Oh, what's up, Ma'am?" satya asked, opening the door. Her hair looked just as tangled as her face.

"Bang Zein asks you to come forward" Triska said with a pale face.

Satya was silent for a moment before finally leaving the room.

Chandra, who had awakened and was about to follow Satya, stopped for a moment when her hand was pulled by Triska.

"Help wakein Ivan," said Triska.

Chandra nodded and immediately ran across the park. Tapping Ivan's room excitedly until the man came out.

"Nanaonan gedor jiga door is it?!" hardik Ivan rubbed his eyes.

(What's the rich door gedor'?!)

"Ngomelnya later, Van! Go ahead!" sergeant Triska glaring.

Ivan, who saw Triska so, had a first glance with Chandra, before they finally rushed to the garage.

Meanwhile, Ary and Tia who woke up from hearing the noise, immediately went outside.

The five of them stopped on the porch of the house. I could only look at what Zein and Satya were doing under the mango tree.

"Bang," called Satya to Zein who was standing three meters away from the bench under the mango tree.

Zein turned his head and placed a fingertip to his lips. I asked Satya to stop talking.

The singing voice is still heard. It is getting louder, along with the appearance of a female figure under the mango tree.

"Five?" call Zein to the figure who is behind him.

The figure remained silent. But the singing stopped.

"Rima, if there's anything you want to say, I'm ready to listen" Zein said, taking a step forward.

Behind him Satya came forward, until the distance was only about a meter from Zein.

"Rima," called Zein again in a softer tone.

Slowly the figure turned His face looked pale with sad eyes.

"What do you want to say?" Zein asked again. He deliberately softened his voice to make Rima be able to trust him.

"A-man-da," Rima's voice sounded strange and buzzing.

"Amanda's? What's with him?" ask Zein while advancing a little.

"Please .. her," replied Rima.

"I don't know where he is, so how can I help him?" Zein is getting closer to Rima.

For a moment they looked at each other before Zein's consciousness finally disappeared.

Triska shouted as she saw Zein's body crumble to the ground. They quickly ran towards the mango tree. Satya was holding Zein's head on her thigh.

"Abang! Brother! Wake up!" triska shouted as she patted Zein's cheek.

Satya caught Triska's hand and looked at her sharply. "That's okay. He was in the passage of time" Satya said.

"really. Trust me. I'll be back again!" firmly Satya.

Triska. Breathe in and breathe out slowly.

While the others helped Satya to lift up Zein's sleeping body, Triska was only able to stare with confused eyes.

"Come, Ris. We wait there," Tia took with her hand to the terrace.

***

Brruuukkk!

Zein was thrown out of the dark hallway. The black coil that had sucked itself inward slowly began to disappear.

Zein stood up. Then look around this place full of question marks.

"Zein," the voice of a woman's call made Zein turn around.

Rima stood at a distance of about five meters from him. His figure looks different. More cheerful than before.

"Rima, where is this?" ask Zein.

"This is where Amanda was exiled by her family" Rima replied as she took two steps forward.

"Why be exiled?"

"Because Amanda was considered insane. But actually not. Amanda was only silenced, so that Eric's whereabouts are unknown," explained Rima.

He advanced towards Zein, and stopped right to the left of Zein who had already turned back in his original direction.

In front of them was a two-story building that seemed stiff and a little creepy.

Zein turned to Rima who returned her gaze with a smile.

"I need your help" said Rima.

"Where's the help?" ask Zein.

"Free him from here. After that, we can find Eric," Rima replied, looking back at the house.

Zein turned to look around. Trying to keep the memory of this place inside his brain.

Suddenly Rima's cold hand pulled Zein's arm towards the large tree near where they were standing.

Zein, who was about to protest, finally abandoned his intentions, when he saw two men seen coming out of a large white-painted door on the front of the house.

The two men split up, one person walking towards the right. One more person walked to the left.

They walked to the front of the house with their heads moving there and here.

Zein remained motionless as the somewhat short man seemed to walk closer to where he was hiding.

His breathing almost came to a halt as the man stood two meters in front of him.

Klleeettaaaakkk.

The voice from another direction made the short man avert his gaze, and rushed towards the origin of the voice. And so does the other man.

Seeing that opportunity Zein slowly moved to the wall to the left of the house by subduing his body while running.

From this wall his figure became invisible to the two men.

Zein ventured a peek through the large door that was still open.

Inside this room there is minimal furniture. There was only one sofa and a table to the right of the sofa.

Zein swung a footstep into another room in the house.

His ears caught the sound of the television from a door that opened slightly, right in a room on his right wall.

Looking back to make sure the two men had still not returned, Zein slowly advanced to the door and peered inside.

"Amanda is not there," whispered Rima who was suddenly on her left.

Rima's hand pointed upwards. Zein nodded in understanding.

Zein quickly ran up the stairs and climbed up to the second floor.

The conditions are quieter than below.

There are two doors in the hallway on the right. And one door on the left.

Rima pointed to the first door on the right, Zein quickly moved there.
