House of the Angker

30. The Memory that Returns

"Emp... Forty days?"

Monica looks wide-eyed looking at the female ghost whose head was almost severed but now no longer,

Hearing Monica groaning in pain, the passing female ghost finally looked inside the house and found Monica there,

"Yes, forty days, that's all you have to do to complete your unfinished mission,"

Said the female ghost,

"Why so fast? What will happen after forty days?"

Monica asked the ghost again,

"You'll be like me, forever floating, a bodyless creature that floats here and there until the end of the world,"

Said the ghost,

Monica heard him of course immediately shook her head, though,

"No, I don't want to, I'm afraid,"

Monica covered her face with both palms,

"You're not dead at the moment, you're a ghost of a comatose person, but after forty days, you'll be completely separated from your body, and become like me,"

Said the female ghost while grinning,

Monica her eyes glazed over, she was scared as well as sad, she said,

"Haihihah... Hihihi..."

The female ghost giggles to see Monica sad,

"Udah ah, I want to swamp again, said someone killed himself last night in the front apartment, I missed it,"

The ghost said, preparing to leave,

Monica who had shed tears seemed to look at the female ghost who was now drifting away,

"You're really going to leave? Just leaving me after making me sad? You really are a shitty new friend,"

Said the Monica,

The female ghost turned her head, then drifted back to Monica, where she was,

"Isn't your friend like that? Leave you?"

Monica gasped, when then both eyes met the eyes of the female ghost, suddenly the shadow when a few days ago as if recorded and imagined in front of her eyes,

Flashbacks, flashbacks,

The rain drizzled down thinly as Monica got out of the house in her car without a family driver,

He drove a small silver metallic car to a place in the vicinity of Ancol,

The place which is a place to eat is not so crowded visitors, but that is precisely what makes Monica and someone she will meet it decided to meet there, but it was just that,

"Sori, late,"

Monica said, when she finally got to the place, and it appeared that men wearing hats like Glen Fredly had been waiting for her there, and she was waiting for him,

The man stood up in welcome and extended his hand to shake hands with Monica,

After the two shake hands, they sit facing each other,

Monica and the man with the hat like Glen Fredly's were looking wryly, as if making sure everything was safely under control,

Make sure carefully if no suspicious eyes are looking towards the two,

Then...

The man grabbed the black backpack he had placed on the floor near the chair he was sitting on,

"Please,"

The man placed a brown envelope with a rope on the table, and,

Monica took the envelope, and then she opened the cleavage to see the contents,

His hand trembled slightly as he took out the contents of the brown envelope the man had given him,

"Ja... So what am I really thinking?"

Monica's voice is soft,

His chest hurts, it feels even now so rumbling because it is filled with extreme anger, he said,

Monica's eyes bristled, and...
