*** chapter 12 ***
A crate is found lying inside an empty house by Jin, a second-rate high school student. Jin is a neighbor of Setta. The man from two countries, Korea and Indonesia, observed the chest with his friend Aryo. That afternoon a crazy idea pervaded those who were full of curiosity and curious to visit the empty house in the residents of the last year.
Jin and Aryo push the door open and bring the box in. Closing the door, twitching to adjust their vision to dim light. Jin stood in what was once a magnificent connecting room. The air smells musty, moist and stifling the chest to breathe. Dust and dry leaves are loosened in the corners of the room. Spider nests hang lazily on the lights and furniture.
However, that was completely absurd when they saw a large tree that seemed to be fused with the architecture of the building. Its bent branches grew through the wall plaster, thick roots gushing out from the floorboards.
"Rome home, Jin, I've got really creepy!" take Aryo with a trembling tone.
"For a while, I was curious to see the contents" Jin said, still trying to open the contents of the chest.
"What if it's a big snake? what a crocodile is it hiiiyy I'm afraid ah!" Aryo whine.
"Not! if the contents of the animal are also from earlier already moving, help open the splinter!" yang Jin gave orders to Aryo.
Aryo looks for a wooden branch that he can use to open the chest, but still can't. Until finally he found a crowbar near the sofa whose skin had been torn.
"Try this!" said Aryo gave the crowbar to Jin.
Finally the box opened. A foul smell gushed out from inside the chest making the air inhaler from the chest feel nauseous.
"What is a genie?" point Aryo with a face of fear.
"What the hell? try hape you flashlight into the crate!" genie's orders.
Aryo pulled out her phone and pointed the flashlight into her coffin. Both of them immediately jumped, they suddenly shouted at the same time.
"Yahoooooooooooooo!!!"
The two ran away from the empty house.
Jin ran into Setta's yard instead of into his yard.
Geck...Geck...Geck...
Jin knocked on Setta's door many times.
"Walaikumsalam..," Setta said as he opened his door.
"Abang you there?" asked Jin who looked panicked.
"Walaikumsalam..," said Setta repeated the answer greeting that has not been spoken by Jin and Aryo.
"Oh yes, walaikumsalam, eh one of the assalamualaikum," Jin said with a loud breath, a panicked look emanating from his face.
"Well, why the hell, brother?" ask Setta.
"About you?" ask Jin
"Not coming home yet, what's wrong?"
"Now, Ta, it's so bad."
"I'm taking a drink for you guys like tired, just wait here, don't come in, I'm alone!"
Setta then went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water from the refrigerator and two glasses of melamine for Jin and Aryo.
"It's drunk brother!" Setta handed me the bottle and the glass.
Jin and Aryo immediately gulped down the water until it ran out.
"Call your brother now!" Aryo's orders.
"What's the matter, anyway?" ask Setta inquisitively.
"There's... That's what her name was, Yo?" Jin patted Aryo on the shoulder many times.
"There's people, there's no head, it's in the chest, it's there" Aryo said in a panic.
"Huuuff..." A gust of relief was created from Jin.
"OK, gini Ta, there is a corpse in the empty house, which is at the end of the complex there," Jin said after a long sigh.
"Astagfirullah really did! let me call my brother first."
Setta searched his cell phone and called Nathan immediately.

Police cars and ambulances reached the scene that Setta had reported. Aryo and Jin are being questioned by the police regarding the discovery of the body in the chest. The bodies of men between the ages of twenty-five and thirty were found folded up inside the coffin. His bones were broken so that they could be bent and put in a crate. Even worse, the body had no head.
Doctors Sarah and Nathan were observing the body when it was removed from the chest. The bone rumbles were heard as the corpse was lifted up and laid into a body bag.
Residents were still gathered with their phones ready in their hands. It is common for them to compete to provide the latest information about the horrendous events on their respective social media.
Such a terrible event.

Nathan smiled at Rania and went to her room.
"Kok diem anyway, the most tired of times yes, his face was pale too tired his wealth." muttered Rania and then returned to the kitchen to accompany Setta.
