Corpse In The Well

episode 1

"Death will always lurk your little family. Don't let Kyna die in such a terrible state!"

***

"Mother, why is there so much blood around the well?"

Yilya walked over to Kyna who was shouting from behind the house. Since the first time he entered into a slum house that had some strange rooms, Yilya always felt a mystical thing that made no sense to him.

Kyna—his little daughter—always discovered a strange incident that happened behind the house. He always shouted words that could make Yilya surprised instead of playing. However, by the time Yilya approached her, the thing that Kyna said was nowhere to be seen in sight.

"Where, Honey?" ask Yilya while trying to resist the annoyance.

It wasn't the first time Kyna's words had shocked her. After all, during the few days they occupied the house, Yilya had never found anything strange. It's just that, the house is so seedy and feels different because it was not inhabited for a long time.

"Loh, Mommy .. There was a lot of blood here. Kyna saw for herself, but, if Mother comes, why is the blood gone?"

Yilya sighed in annoyance. "Honey, mommy's cooking. Kyna don't like that anymore, yeah. There's nothing here."

"But, Mother. Tadi—"

"Yuk, Kyna's in the room." Yilya immediately carried Kyna's small body.

There was nothing Kyna could do but shut up as her little body slowly moved away. However, both of Kyna's eyeballs continued to stare at the female figure that slowly emerged from within the well. The woman waved her hand, making Kyna feel captivated and more curious.

"Mother, who is that woman?"

Yilya paid no heed to the words Kyna spoke. However, when the footsteps of Yilya completely unable to move anymore—like freeze—Yily began to worry, he did not know what was going on.

"Astagfirullah ...."

"There's aunty!" kyna exclaimed at the woman who had just appeared from inside the well.

Female body it—kuntilanak—bloodstained. Both of his eyeballs looked at Yilya with sad gazes, but, the look in his eyes was filled with hatred. The woman's long hair was unraveled, the stench was very pungent because her body parts were not intact. The woman did not have one hand, the intestines looked so crushed, just coming out of the stomach. In fact, the woman only had an index finger. I don't know what has happened, he really looks very sad.

Yilya tried to move her body, but, all her attempts failed. Especially when she was crying. His voice was extremely shrill, he screamed with all his might, breaking the silence. Jemari Yilya trembled violently, she continued to embrace Kyna who of course now started to cry in fear. Things start to grip, Kyna's crying voice makes the woman even more crazy. He squirmed his body, as if dancing in his solitude.

"Kyna is afraid, Mother. Kyna's really scared ...."

Now, Yilya realized that the words of Kyna who always screams to call her food if she finds something strange are indeed true. There's something that doesn't make sense in this house. How can there be invisible creatures that can be seen by humans?

Yilya kept trying to move the body, but all the effort was in vain. The voice of the woman was getting louder until finally appeared one of a painting that is very dear to Yilya.

"Himai Lie!" yilya exclaimed for a moment when he saw the original form of someone who appeared from inside the painting.

How could Yilya not feel astonished?

During this time, Yilya always looked after and cleansed Nyai Lie's wounds lovingly. Since Mas Arthur—suami Yilya— gave gifts in the form of paintings of dancers who are very charming, Yilya always take care of him. For Yilya, the painting is very beautiful to look at.

"I, Nyai Lie Kusmini. You're Yilya, right?" nyai Lie asked without stopping her body movements that continued to wriggle erratically.

"Huh? Not possible .. astagfirullah. It's just my hallucination." Yila tried to calm down when Nyai Lie invited her to speak.

"You've been taking care of me all this time, Yilya, but you haven't given me any food at all!" Nyai Lie's impact, made Kyna immediately cry very loudly.

Yilya tried to catch her breath. Now, Kyna was unconscious in her arms. There was nothing that Yilya could do, especially when Nyai Lie danced while whispering a sentence that Yilya really did not know the meaning.

"There will be dozens of bodies coming!" Nyai Lie's clash made Yilya surprised instead of playing.

One second after Nyai Lie said the sentence, his body disappeared like it was swallowed by the earth. Meanwhile, the scent of jasmine flowers instantly filled the room. Yilya's view is locked on women who can still be seen by her. The woman walked up to the wall, her index fingers crossed the wall of the house with the words "dead".

The view of Yilya does not stop at all from seeing every move that the woman does. Although the blood kept dripping through the floor that Yilya had just cleaned, he did not care. To be sure, Yilya began to be curious about what would happen the next day.

Who are these two strange creatures?

"You will understand the purpose and purpose of my appearance and Nyai Lie. Burn incense every Friday night."

The woman instantly turned towards the well even though her fresh blood kept dripping. Before it disappeared, he waved his hand while laughing horribly. However, he slowly submerged himself into the bottom of the well even though the look in his eyes was not moss looking at Yilya.

After the woman sank to the bottom of the well, the atmosphere was not so scary. The blood dripping on the floor vanished and returned clean, as if nothing had happened at all. The words the woman wrote were not visible. However, Kyna still fainted!

"Morning, huh, Mommy?" kyna asked as she rubbed both eyes.

Yilya looked at her daughter's astonishment. Is it possible that Kyna forgot about the incident she just experienced? When the woman came and shouted, Kyna was still conscious and kept crying in fear.

"Ah? Yeah, honey, it's morning. We're sarapaan, yuk. Mommy has already made Kyna a good meal, youh."

Kyna nodded quickly. Although Yilya still held back the trembling over the incident that had just happened to her, she tried to remain ordinary. Perhaps, Kyna was unconscious because she had been given something by the creature—the woman and Nyai Lie—so as not to remember all the creepy events.

"Kyna ... Don't want anything, right, sweetheart?" asked Yilya while stroking the head of her daughter.

"What's the target, Mother?"

"Emm .. no, dear. Let's eat now. Mother take food first, yes." Kyna nodded as she got out of bed.

Many times Yilya gave thanks because her little daughter could not remember the incident. Let only her face it all. Kyna is too small, her life must remain calm and happy without any interference from the well-wishers.

"Mother!" exciting Kyna.

Yilya immediately took out some dishes containing rice and side dishes. He quickly ran towards the place where his little daughter was, worried that something bad might happen.

"What's up, honey? Kyna's not papa, is she, son?" ask Yilya worriedly.

"Kyna is not papa, Mother. That ... outside there is Kiki Barjo" Kyna replied while pointing at Ki Barjo.

Kyna has been used to calling Ki Barjo with Kiki Barjo since she was a child. Ki Barjo is the only family owned by Yilya's husband. His advanced age made the Yilya family forced to live in this slum house to be close to Ki Barjo. The age that is no longer young makes it difficult for Ki Barjo to contact Yilya's husband. So, Yilya decided to be ready to stay at home that has this uncomfortable atmosphere.

Yilya walked over to Ki Barjo as she reached out to shake hands. "Welcome, Ki. Have you been waiting a long time?"

"Ah, no. There's something Ki wants to talk about. Can you?"

"Good, Ki. Hold on, Yilya make coffee first." Ki Barjo nodded.

After Yilya returned with a cup of black coffee, he sat on the porch of the house while waiting for Ki Barjo to say the thing he wanted to talk about.

"Genee ... Ki wants to say a few things about this house so you can slowly understand."

"Yilya felt it, Ki. From the beginning of Yilya's arrival to this house. Mainly, the incident was—"

"Don't say!" sergeant Ki Barjo very quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"Never tell anyone what you've experienced if you don't want to get a bad risk later."

Yilya sighed while forcing a smile. "Good, Ki."

"Then, this house was occupied by an old Grandpa whose age was not much different from Ki. Until finally, an incident happened, this house was left empty for many years. Therefore, Ki trusts you to stay here."

"But, Ki .. during the time that the Yilya family was here, many strange events happened in this house. Yilya does not understand, why they—"

"One day you will understand. Ki sure, only you can resuscitate him."

Yilya looked at Ki Barjo with an astonished look. Whatdoes thatmean? Reawaken who?

"Ki pamit's. Take care of your children, don't let them find anything in the house. Especially, don't let Kyna be near the well."

"Good, Ki." Yilya nodded quickly.

Ki Barjo said goodbye when the mind of Yilya began to be filled with various questions. However, before Ki Barjo left, his fingers pointed to the painting Nyai Lie that Yilya always guarded.

What else is this? What actually happened?

Yilya began to feel that there was something to be done in this house. Although only a few days he stayed, but he was very sure that his arrival here was not just to stop. Instead, he had to solve something that caused this house to become a place full of mystery.

Just as Yilya walked in, Kyna was nowhere to be seen. Yilya tried to stay calm and positive, she assumed that her little daughter was storing dishes. However, Yilya was surprised instead of playing when she heard the screams from her little daughter.

"Mother! There's a body in the well!"
