Coral Island

Hovels

They decided to walk towards the light, hoping that it was the location of their inn. Galuh walked in the front position while Danu followed him from behind. The minimal light made it a little difficult for them to get there. The path they had gone on was still the same as before, shady trees on the high left and right to cover the moonlight.

 

After approaching, it turns out that the light source came from inside a small hut located itself in the middle of the forest. No house was seen standing around him. The hut has a wall made of brownish wood with roof tiles that are pink. Mosses grew on part of its walls surrounding the hut. Grass grass weeds grow high in front of the hut to the terrace.

 

Galuh and Danu stopped behind shady trees close to the hut. Galuh scrunched his forehead, he looked at Danu with a suspicious look. Danu did not budge, he stood up, and was about to walk towards the hut. Galuh pulled his hand, he shook his head to Danu. Danu shrugged his shoulders, confused, he let go of Galuh's hand and tried to walk again.

 

“Danu, Nu!” Galuh again drew Danu's hand and called out to him

 

“Why Luh!” this time Danu listened and finally stayed behind the trees

 

“Stt.. don't be hard talking!” Galuh shut Danu's mouth and whispered into her ear

 

“Why the hell ?” Danu began to shrink her voice

 

“Lu does not feel strange, a small house, in the middle of the forest, the front is not taken care of, there are no people around, the cave feels bad, mending us unplug to the other road deh”

 

“Maybe residents here Luh, a house in the countryside is usually far away, rich do not know aja lu akh!” Danu was a little annoyed to see his friend's parno-an.

 

“Gak sure gw, we have turned back Nu, we take the road one more his” Galuh turned around the body trying to return to the previous road

 

“Sabar Luh, the cave does not want to go back there, it is dark, no longer strong cave, can faint kali” Danu prevent Galuh who moved to go back to the previous road

 

“How do you want? I don't really think we're going there? feeling I really don't feel good”

 

“Hahhhh!” Danu breathed his breath deep inside

 

“Okey cave only, you follow me, how? agree no?” exclaim Danu with a forced tone

 

“Yakin you, he said you don't dare to be this beginian”

 

“Iyaa, sure I, mending gw nanya people here deh, rather than having to go behind the dark gel there” jawan Danu

Danu turned her body and started walking slowly towards the door of the hut. Occasionally he looked back, towards Galuh, Galuh accompanied him walking slowly forward towards the terrace of the hut. Danu had to break some of the high weeds that blocked the road to get in front of the house.

 

They arrived at the door of the hut. Danu looked towards Galuh who was standing beside him. Galuh just looked back and directed Danu to knock on the door. Danu gulped down his saliva, his hands trembling slightly, clenching, rising towards the old wooden door before him.

 

 

‘Tok Tok’

 

 

The sound of knocking on the door

 

 

‘Ngik .’

 

 

The door opened on its own

 

 

…

 

 

‘lah not closed’ as Danu muttered in his heart

 

 

“Pe .. Excuse me? Is there anyone?” Danu said while peering into the hut, but there was no answer from inside the hut.

 

“Where is Luh? Is there no one?” Danu asked towards Galuh

 

“Kan earlier I've told you we're back, you don't want Denger” Galuh replied with a sniff

 

“ya ma ..

 

 

 

Huu ..hu .. huuuu .. hu ..

 

Suddenly there was the sound of people crying from inside the hut

 

 

“What sound is Luh? Rich there is a cry” Danu became curious

 

“The sound of a cry yes Nu?” Galuh answered who also heard the voice

 

Without realizing it, Danu stepped into the Hut by himself, trying to find out where the sound of crying was so sad. Galuh initially did not want to follow Danu's behavior, but curiosity also stuck from within him. They entered slowly into the hut.

 

There are three wooden chairs and a round table in black in the living room of the hut. They walked slowly to where the sound was. From the living room they went to the middle to the kitchen at the end, and a door to another room that is likely to be a bedroom.

 

Galuh and Danu again followed the sound that was felt to come from the room in the middle room between the hallway to the membrane. Danu marched slowly in front, while Galuh followed behind him. The door to the room was not closed. The sound of crying grew louder from inside the room.

 

Danu turned her head slowly towards the room. Apparently someone was sitting on a wooden chair located on the side in the middle of the empty room. The man had blackish shoulder-height hair and was staring out of the room through a glass window while sobbing.

 

Danu was curious, he was increasingly observing the person, Galuh who was behind it also felt like he wanted to look into the room. Galuh also held Danu's shoulders, asking to switch positions, Danu stomped a little surprised, he looked towards Galuh asking him to wait a little longer.

 

He turned slowly back into the room

 

But the person was staring back at Danu with wide eyes. Danu was surprised to jolt backwards looking at the eyes of the person who turned out to be a man.

 

Suddenly the man stood up from his stool with his body facing towards Danu. His clothes look shabby in black with brown shorts. It's almost as tall as gruesome. He stood up straight while staring at Danu. Danu was silent as if pecking.

 

‘Ngiet’

 

The sound of footsteps of the man who was slowly trying to approach Danu

 

Danu was surprised, the man began to move closer, Danu slowly walked back in rhythm with the footsteps of the man, until he hit Galuh who was behind him.

 

“lah why Nu?” Galuh whispered to see his friend who walked backwards away from the room. Galuh also would not follow Danu who walked backwards.

 

 

’Ngiet’

 

‘Ngiet’

 

The sound of the man's footsteps drew closer to the entrance of the room

 

“we exit Luh, we exit” Danu walk faster towards the front door

 

“why Nu?” Galuh became confused, but he still followed Danu towards the front door

 

“later gw cherry.”

 

 

‘BRAK BRAK BRAK!!’

 

Suddenly the man ran out quickly chasing Danu and Galuh

 

 

“Anj*, run Luh!!!” Danu immediately ran out of the house without looking back. He followed her from behind. They quickly ran out without looking back

 

“Nu what the hell!” Galuh yelled at Danu while galloping out of the house

 

“Udah run first, later cave certain!” Danu replied with a hurried breath

 

They also managed to get out of the yard of the house through the reeds of rimbut and continued to run in the middle of the darkness of the forest that night while turning on the flash lights from the cellphone. Galuh and Danu continued to run in the darkness of night until they finally arrived at the crossroads they had previously passed
