House of the Angker

6. My New Home

I Love You, Run Adel!

Garih opens Sasha's diary page by page.

"01 June 2000,

Today I was my first piano teacher.

June 25, 2000,

There are people who terrorize my brother.

July 9, 2000,

Dad left with his friend a week ago, until now there is no news.

August 4, 2000, the,

Dad's home, but I don't think he's like my dad."

"What really happened when you left William?" Inner Galih

"10 August 2000, the,

Dad started to change and was often angry.

August 11, 2000,

Mom disappeared from the house, Dad said he'd look for her, he gave me a video camera as an entertainer and told me and Nick to calm down.

Instead of sighing, he was increasingly convinced that the terror that had occurred so far was the work of the father.

"I'm sure the video camera we found at the time will reveal everything" said Galih.

"Adel do you still remember that Devil's Service movie we watched in class at the time?" Galih asked Adel.

"Yes I still remember Galih, about those sects right?"

"Yes right, after reading this diary I think that this William follows a certain sect that requires him to kill others including his family"

"You sure?"

"A hundred percent sure Del"

Half an hour passed, there was no sign of the black figure terrorizing them. Sasha's spirit was still in the room. Surprisingly it was still only Galih who saw it.

"Why is that black figure not banging on the door like before, huh?" Inner Galih

"12 August 2000, the,

Mom's not there yet, I miss Mom. I always said Sasha was the first child and always the special one among my friends. When I miss her, Mom's words always ring in my mind.

"Sasha is special? What's that supposed?"

Then Galih looked at Sasha's spirit, his finger pointing to every corner of the room. Galih approached the corner of the room and highlighted it with a flashlight, he saw strange symbols there. It might look more like a seal.

"Adel look at these symbols, have you seen these symbols before?"

"I think I've seen it" replied Adel

"Where?"

"My parents were out of town a lot, I was left alone at home, but I was a very timid person, so at that time I was fad searching on the internet about anything that could keep demons and so on from home, and it felt like there was a symbol drawing is one way" Adel told me about his experience.

"Do you believe?"

"No hehe, so I never draw anything at home"

"But maybe this symbol is working Del, proof that the black figure can't get in here"

"Well, isn't that figure a human being? Isn't that the father who is still alive? How does the symbol work to keep the figure away from here?" Adel said curiously.

"Maybe the sect he joined made him a Devil, a Demon-faced human" Galih replied as he pinched his own lips.

"Eh, then why is Sasha here?" Inner Galih.

"Oh he's special, no, not just him, I think Nick and his mother's spirits can come in here, because they're not evil Devils, either, Adel said this symbol is one way to keep away demonic interference, yes it may be evil demons or demons" continued Galih.

"Adel we have to stay here until morning, and then we leave when the sun comes up!"

"I agree Galih"

The clock is 04:00 wib, Galih and Adel fall asleep and hug each other. The wind blew out of nowhere, the blow made Sasha's diary open until the last page.

"20 August 2000, the,

(Cuiiit cuiit)

The early morning bird chirp woke Galih and Adel from his sleep. The clock shows at 06.00 wib, sunlight began to radiate in the eastern horizon, now everything in the house is clearly visible.

"Adel I have a plan, you have to be ready!" Galih.

"Listen to Me" He continued

*

Adel ran as hard as he could to the main room where they first gathered, approached Erik's body and reached into his pocket, took the car keys, not forgetting he took Galih's backpack, then breaking the window glass with the beam lying there, there was a little bloodstain on the beam. Adel continued to run to the courtyard of the house without looking back. Adel entered the car, lucky Erik's car was not paused by the black figure. Adel looked at the balcony, his tears dripping. Adel started his car, gas-stamped, crashing into the gate of the house until it was destroyed. The car sped away from the haunted house, the home that changed the lives of five friends in one night. Bloody holidays, facing demonic humans and trying to survive in tense conditions. No one ever thought about what happened that night. Adel was crying in the car.

"I'm sorry Galih, I will fight to survive, I will keep my promise.

**

Adel cried, she was afraid of what they were facing while trying to escape from the room.

"Adel focus and listen to me!" Salih said whispering.

"So gini the plan, when I open the door just assume that the black figure is in front there ok, I'll run towards the balcony, I'm sure he'll come after me, when he tried to chase me, you ran as hard as you could downstairs.."

"But Galih...." Adel cut off Galih's talk.

"ADEL! Just listen to me!"

Adel was sobbing more and more, but as much as possible he tried hard and listened to Galih's plan.

"You can bring a car, right?"

"Yes I can" answered Adel

"Good, when on the bottom floor later take the car keys, there must be nailed Erik's pants and then don't forget to bring my backpack, there is a video camera that we found yesterday, any way you have to be able to uncover everything, you have to promise, ok?" Galih explained his plan.

"Don't talk like you're going to die Galih"

"I don't know, but I'll also try to run downstairs when you get the car started, but if I don't make it out of that figure, you'll have to get out of here yourself, Adel!" Galih.

"I'll try, I promise!"

Adel endured the pain in his heart, but the eyeball was unable to withstand the dam of his tears.

Galih held the doorknob. He strengthened his resolve, he had to look tough in front of Adel so as not to make Adel doubt and his plan went well. Galih looked at Adel, there was a strange feeling that appeared.

"Hehe, why do you look so beautiful now?" Inwardly

"Are you ready for Adel?"

"Yes I'm ready!"

When the door of the room opened, it was true that the figure was there, Galih immediately ran towards the balcony. The figure was chasing after Galih. Adel ran with all his might towards the stairs towards the bottom floor.

"Adel run!" Shouted Galih

Adel made it to the bottom floor, but unfortunately the fate of Galih, a knife thrown by the figure was right stuck in his calf. Galih fell down, but as hard as he tried to get to the balcony, even though he had to crawl. A black figure trailed behind Galih who was already unable to walk. Galih managed to get to the balcony, his hands tightly holding the balcony fence, he bowed his head on the balcony. Galih smiles because Adel looks like he managed to turn on the car, and leaves the house.

(Braaac)

There was a loud sound of a car crashing when it hit the gate.

"I'm sorry Adel, I can't catch up with you" said Galih.

Instead of bowing sluggishly, his legs continued to bleed.

"Yeah Gem Adel? Hehe" Galih spoke in his heart and smiled slightly.

"At last you're the only survivor, but I'm happy"

"Why do I love you now?"

Galih's tears flowed down both sides of her cheeks.

The black figure grabbed Galih's neck, tried to strangle him, Galih fought back with all his might, but what a power he had was powerless. As Galih fought against the figure, the two stared at each other. Galih surprised.

"You...?"

(Kreech)

The black figure managed to strangle Galih. Galih died instantly.
