Eternal Island

Skewed Gossip

That morning Franky was sitting on the front porch of the house, with a laptop on his lap, he was continuing his pending novel.

Moments later, when Bento approached, he jumped onto the porch fence and sat down near Franky.

"Write on, kritten tuh finger haha," Bento stupefied.

"Eh you Ben, where are you?"

"I'm from home, Fran."

"Oh yeah, where's Leon Fran?"

"Ben's habit, shopping, is he a hobby of buying stomach contents?" franky replied with a grimace.

"Oh so, oh yes Fran, I heard, Rinjani is a ghost he said," said bento.

"Ah, there's no way that Ben, obviously he's just as human as we are" Franky insisted.

Bento was silent, he was lazy to argue with his friend.

"You said yesterday to Rinjani's house?" ask Bento again.

"Yes Ben, his house is nice rich palace of heaven," replied Franky casually.

"Huh? Heaven's palace? Have you ever been to Fran's paradise?" Bento frowned.

"It's Ben," Franky convinced.

"Are you Fran?" Bento's getting curious.

"Right Ben, in a dream hehe," Franky chuckled.

"Huuu," Bento felt anxious.

"Haha."

They both laughed inexplicably.

Meanwhile at Aisyah's house ...

"Excuse me."

"Eh Mr. Yusuf, please come in sir," said Aisyah kindly.

Mr. Yusuf sat down while Aisyah went to the back and a few moments later, she came back again, carrying a tray containing one cup of sweet tea.

"There is no need to bother the Shah" said Mr. Yusuf.

"No bother, sir, it's just water" Aisyah replied with a smile, then placed her tray on the side of the table and sat down next to Joseph.

"What is your next plan, to face Rinjani?" ask Mr. Yusuf.

"We must relax sir, no need to hurry, because Rinjani is not a ghost, he is the beloved Jin King Jin ruler of the supernatural realm, for that he is very protected.

We have to be very careful, because if not, we can be wretched," said Aisyah.

"But I wonder the Shah, usually every year, every male immigrant on this Island, must always die in the forest, but why not so with Franky, Franky, he had lived here for almost three months, but he met Rinjani often, and there was no sign of him becoming a victim, even until now he remained in good health," said Mr. Yusuf.

"Franky may not be a victim, but he will be enslaved by Rinjani, just look now he is under the power of Rinjani," said Aisyah.

"You are true Shah" said Joseph.

"We let it go first, if he looks into the forest again, it must be a call from Rinjani, well, when it was just us to act, we call kyai Toha," said Aisyah.

"Okay Shah, yes, I say goodbye first," Mr. Yusuf immediately finished his sweet tea and went home.

In the afternoon at Franky's rented house, Bento was home, and Leon was back.

"Le yuk yuk ahead of the island, I want to buy meatballs," Franky said.

"Come on, Fran," said Leon.

Then the two men walked until they got to the front of the island, they headed to the meatball stall.

They ordered two bowls of meatballs and enjoyed them.

"Eh you know, last night I came home from a friend's house, when I passed by the beach deck, there was a woman wearing a shirt and a white veil, she floated, her feet were not on the ground, hiii I immediately ran," said one of the men who was eating meatballs at the stall.

"Yes, near the beach is haunted, and in the forest there is a waiter," the meatball seller chimed in.

"Thuhuk ....!"

Franky coughed, spontaneously everything in the stall turned to Franky, Franky's face was red, withstanding shame, he smiled to tell the people, that she's okay.

Everyone in the shop went on eating the meatballs, Franky and Leon had finished the meatballs, then they paid, and walked home.

"Is that right, Fran? The forest is haunted and there is a waiter, lest.. Rinjani means those people" Leon chirped.

"Husss, you haphazard Le, Rinjani is my girlfriend, watch out for you yeah, once again say he's a ghost, I'm your fist," Franky joked as he puffed his cheeks.

"Yes, Fran, Rinjani is your girlfriend" Leon said grimacingly.

As they passed by a house, a mother came out, and hung something on a nail stuck in the door of the house, then she went back in and closed the door.

Franky and Leon pay close attention, then continue on their journey.

"Eh, you see, Le, what is that, hanging on the door of his house?" ask Franky.

"Come on Fran, maybe a talisman" Leon said.

"A fetish?" Franky frowned.

"Yes Fran, kind of reject the reinforcements, I've been horrified from my neighbors, maybe here a lot of ghosts," Seloroh Leon.

"Ah that you, the ghost continues in the poultice" Franky sneered.

Leon just smiled then they kept walking until they got home.

When he got to the house, Joseph approached them.

"Mas Franky, wait a minute."

"What's up, sir?" ask Franky.

"Excuse me, please put this on," Mr. Yusuf handed me a necklace made of thread and in the middle was a small box-shaped bearing.

"What is this sir?" franky asked while receiving the necklace.

"Already, just wear it, and do not take it off, unless you want to take a shower must be taken off the necklace, it will protect you from things that are not good," said mr. Yusuf.

"Hem, fine then, thank you sir," said Franky.

"Yes, I'm sorry" Joseph went home while Franky and Leon went into the house.

"Is this Le?" franky asked, looking at the necklace.

"Here you go, Fran, just follow what Mr. Joseph said," Leon said.

Leon entered the room, while Franky was still sitting in front of the room, he was wearing a necklace given by Mr. Joseph.

Feeling sleepy, Franky went into the room and went to bed.

"Franki ... Franky ...."

Twelve o'clock at midnight, Franky awakens.

"As if someone called me," he murmured inwardly.

Franky turned left and right, but he saw no one in the room, and Franky continued his sleep.

Unexpectedly Rinjani was already in front of Franky's room, she tried to get inside that room, but her body bounced.

"Adrrgh!" Rinjani groans in pain.

"Damn it, there are other forces blocking me from entering, it seems that someone deliberately wants to separate me from Franky" said Rinjani.

Then, Rinjani again tried to enter, he exerted all his strength, but unfortunately he always failed and his body always bounced.

Rinjani was upset, because she felt that she had been played with, she disappeared.

The next night the same, Rinjani comes to Franky's room again but every time he wants to go into the room, his body always bounces.

"Awas y'all, wait for my vengeance, you wicked man, how dare to interfere in my affairs," Rinjani again cursed, after which he disappeared.

For months Franky wore a necklace given by Mr. Joseph, he seemed to have forgotten Rinjani, even lately, Franky rarely went to the beach.
