Corpse In The Well

episode 4

"The water supply is running out, ma'am. Can you please get it in the well? I—"

"Fearful?" ask Arthur quickly.

"No, Mas. But ...."

"There's nothing in this house, honey. We don't need water anymore, just take it in the well." Arthur smiled reassuringly to his wife.

"I'm gonna take a shower, Mom."

"Not what, don't worry."

Yilya breathed a heavy sigh. By force, he stepped foot into the well. Yilya drew water as she swept her eyes clean, worried that a figure had suddenly appeared before her. Yilya ventured to bathe in the well by wearing side—kain like sarong— to cover her body. Slowly, Yilya flushed the body with water obtained from the well. Although the little heart of Yilya was afraid of the bad events that could have happened to him, Yilya still tried to calm down and immediately finished his activities.

"Don't forget .. frankincense ...." Yilya stopped the movement of her hand that was rubbing her face.

The voice sounded very slow, but, Yilya could still hear it. Yilya believes that the sound comes from invisible beings who always disturb his life. Yilya's desire to unravel this mystery grew stronger. He immediately finished his activities.

Today, Mas Arthur has given permission to Yilya for overnight overtime. Quickly, of course, Yilya allowed it because right on this night, Yilya would begin his investigation of the corpses that continued to plague his life. Yilya was already impatiently waiting for the night to come, where at the time she began to get a bright spot of every strange thing that could not be easily known.

"Kyna take care of her sister, yeah. Dama is still a child, if Kyna wants to play, don't forget to invite Dama."

"Ready, Dad. Kyna must take care of Dama." Kyna's smile looks so sweet.

"Not bad either, yeah. Can't bite a toy," said Mas Arthur as he pinched his small Dama—putra plan.

"Yes, Dad. Dama is not naughty," said Dama smiling.

"Yes, you go first, yeah." Mas Arthur turned his eyes to Yilya. "If there's anything, call the mas, honey."

"Yes, Mas" replied Yilya with a faint smile. In fact, Yilya would not have contacted her husband if the strange incident would have happened later.

Mas Arthur stepped away after saying goodbye to his son and wife. Yilya smiled happily. He immediately went to pick up the frankincense he had bought with Ms. Nirma a few days ago.

"Don't forget to prepare the shroud that has been flush with well water. You must be looking for something that doesn't make sense. But, you have to keep believing. Burn incense in the middle of the shroud that has been placed near the well." Yilya tried to remember what Bu Nirma said.

Jemari Yilya deftly doused the shroud with well water, he began to flatten to all parts. Inwardly, Yilya hoped that tonight would be the beginning of her knowing what happened inside this house, especially, the unrelenting old well made Yilya's life unsettled in a matter of days.

Kyna and Dama fell asleep a few minutes ago. This made Yilya feel a little calm. Yilya did not want her two children to see the terrible events in this house. Especially Kyna, the little girl can't have bad events anymore. It was enough for him to see the terrifying corpse figure. Yilya will not let Kyna see him again.

"Nyi Lie ni Lie ni Lie Nyi." Yilya's voice sounded very calm.

Both of Yilya's eyes were tightly closed. This time, Yilya sat in the presence of a frankincense that started to give off a strange scent. Yilya said the words of the caller Nyai Lie that had been ordered by Ki Barjo before.

Actually, even the little heart of Yilya was afraid when imagining bad events that could have made her die silly, but, Yilya had a strong determination. He tried to dare himself to face everything. The words of Ki Barjo and Bu Nirma have been able to encourage him to solve this mystery. Especially, Yilya did not want anything to happen to her two children.

"Open your eyes" Nyai Lie said very gently. Instantly, Yilya obeyed Nyai Lie's words and slowly opened her eyes.

How shocked Yilya was when she saw with her own eyes, there were dozens of bloodied corpses around the well. Almost all of them have no body parts. Yilya's breathing began to disorient. His two eyeballs started to heat up, ready to shed tears of sadness. Seeing the bodies lying helpless, Yilya felt crowded. Which intelligent man is unharmed when he sees dozens of lifeless corpses?

Yilya cried. He still felt the handrails of Nyai Lie. Perhaps, that was why Yilya could see dozens of such corpses. Inwardly, Yilya continued to ask. What is the cause of these bodies being killed?

"Look into the well, Yilya. Don't be afraid." Nyai Lie's words made Yilya start to move from her seat to look into the well.

"Oh God!" Yilya's body trembled violently.

The well that usually gives off fresh water to bathe and urinate, now looks disgusting. Many pieces of human organs were cut off and looked rotten inside there. Yilya really can't hold back anymore. Her tears are flowing. What does all this mean?

Yilya began to guess if dozens of these bodies were victims of mutilation from irresponsible people because the entire corpse looks very terrible. Their bodies are not whole, in fact, many of them have no form. Yilya's fear instantly turned to pity when she saw the whole incident tonight. Yilya was not at all afraid to see them, precisely the encouragement that was in him began to regain control. Yilya must uncover everything immediately.

"You must awaken it, Yilya," said the red kuntilanak figure. His body was greatly destroyed, but, somehow Yilya could still hear and see him speak.

"Please tell me, who should I be aware of? I'll help you all to—"

"We are dead! The man must die in even more dire circumstances."

That guy? Wh who? This guess is too hard to guess at one time. Yilya still seemed to be in disbelief at what she saw tonight. Of course, it was not easy to believe there were dozens of corpses in the well. In fact, Yilya himself still did not expect.

"Please explain .. I know absolutely nothing here. I'm just a new guy living in this house."

"Those men are all around you. Awake and awaken, Yilya. We won't bother your little family after all this is revealed. However, to be sure, the man had to die!"

Instantly, there was one of the beings who approached Yilya while pointing his fingers at the forehead of Yilya. The creature gave a slight touch while pressing on Yilya's forehead. Blood mentes on the forehead until attached to the shroud. The creature seemed to give magical powers.

"Don't let Kyna get near the well. Kyna can see something that no other human can see."

Yilya nodded. Worth it, all this time Yilya could not see something that Kyna feared. Apparently, Kyna is different

"These bodies are your responsibility! Not because you're the killer. Rather, the killer is near you."

The Yilya Tangis began to subside. His mind was still sore when he saw the bodies of dozens of bodies that were already very invisible. However, Yilya soon realized that all the bodies she saw were women!

What does all this mean? Which man kills and mutilates women? Hell is worth it. The thought of Yilya began to guess, could this corpse be the victim of an evil man who just wanted to enjoy and then kill him? But why should it be here? Why should it be right inside this well?

"Stay trying to uncover everything, unless you want to end up like dozens of these horrible corpses!"
