Mystery Mirror

Villa Rahajoe's

The Welvarend family is the owner of Rahajoe villa in a small town. The villa has been under construction since 1925. The Dutch family only came occasionally as a stopover. After Lord Walvaren's mistress Sriwening was murdered, the family never returned to Rahajoe's villa. Sriwening was convicted of poisoning Mrs Welvarend to death. Sriwening was brutally murdered without trial, and his body was paraded through the city. Considered as a warning to the natives at that time, so as not to fight the Dutch. Sriwening is just a victim of slander over the sudden death of Mrs Welvarend. It is said that the spirit of Sriwening did not accept his death and cursed the residents of Rahajoe villa. Mr. Walvaren was very ill, his youngest son suddenly went crazy, since then they returned to the Netherlands and never returned to Rahajoe's villa.

A couple of lovers Ratih Mahesa and Gery are in debt to a loan shark. Their luxurious lifestyle but lazy to work, making both of them in debt. Ratih Mahesa still has a lineage from Sriwening, the mistress of the Welvarend family.

"That means you have dong rights! over that big villa?" as the durian collapses, a crazy idea crosses Gery's mind when he hears a story from his lover about the Welvarend family.

"Yes.but I can't sell that house? there are no letters!" sahut Ratih as if he could read Gery's intentions.

"It's not for sale either, we're there! Who knows there are still antiques that can be sold, the relics of the Dutch family. If it's sold to a collector, it's expensive, honey! Especially over the decades, it's getting more expensive!"

"But my great-grandfather once said that his descendants should not set foot in Rahajoe's villa. That's a goddamn villa! Don't want ah, horrified! It's been empty for decades, too, baby! Even if there are still items that must have been damaged" Ratih rejected the idea of Gery entering the villa.

"Honey, we can go there during the day. Just look around first. If there isn't, we're gone. What matters is effort first! Where would twenty million dollars come from, Yang?" Gery tried to convince her boyfriend.

Ratih who is still worried is reminded of his debt to loan shark Darso. His life is not calm because every day must be a cat-cat with bodyguard manager Darso who collect debts. Trainly looked at Gery with hesitation.

"I'm scared, Ger! The villa's story is serem"

"That's an old story, baby! Around the area there are now many shops. Millennials still believe in ghost stories. Trust me, we'll be there tomorrow?" gery asked while holding onto Ratih's shoulder to face towards him. Train nodded slowly. There is no harm in trying, thought Ratih.

***

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the lovers left for Rahajoe's villa. Although located in the shopping area, it does not reduce the mystical air that is displayed from the villa. The fence is rusty, the spacious courtyard surrounded by wild plants, it seems that this building has not been touched by humans for decades.

"Where are you going, Mom?" ask the rickshawman who is parked in front of the shop next to the villa. He was surprised because he had been there for a long time, no one dared to enter the large building.

"You need some pictures, sir!" gery replied curiously.

"Be careful, don't look for disease! Is that the same license you have?" The pedicab warned.

"My girlfriend is his heir, sir! It must be allowed!" Ratih pinched Gery's waist which replied arbitrarily.

They both climbed over an old fence that was not too high. Sreeet...

"Awhhhh.. f**k" as Gery. Her calf was stuck in the rusty fence, her pants torn to penetrate the skin of her ari. Fresh blood dripped from his wound.

"Darling, no papa? Turn around yuk!" pinta Ratih started to panic.

"Step, Honey. It's been here, just a little cut, no papa!" Gery convinces her lover not to falter.

Slightly limped he hugged Ratih towards the main door of the villa. Gery looks for a big stone to open the door lock. Once hit, the rusted door lock was destroyed. A cold chill came out, hitting both of them in the face. Like there's something that's been locked up for a long time and waiting to be released. The old chandeliers in the living room were clattering in the wind. Ratih grasps tightly the arm of Gery who is observing the room with some furniture that is still complete.

"Well, your family is rich! Look at these things, fancy! This if sold, we can not only pay the debt, but can poya-foya without work! H. ha. ha. ha..." Gery laughed as if he had found a lump of gold.

They searched room after room in the villa, trying to open some windows to get some light. But the windows could not be opened, making the room dark. The more they enter, the darker, the colder, the more goosebumps.

"Darling, it's dark in here come home!" said Ratih began to feel the choking air.

"Relax, you can use a flashlight" Gery took out his HP from his pocket, shone to several corners of the room. Old furniture that is dusty is still lined up neatly.

"Honey, this is a big thing. Tomorrow we go back and bring a handyman to carry this. Now go back yuk!" Ratih whined and continued to strongly grasp Gery's arm.

"There must be something we can take with us now. Who knows, there are still pieces of jewelry from your ancestors left behind. That's why you're helping me find, don't stick to a gini lizard!" Gery flicked his arm to get Ratih a little away.

They climbed the second floor, tracing the rooms there. The villa has many rooms and many rooms to explore. Arrived in a large room that seemed to be the main room. The place was a little brighter, the sunlight peeked between the ventilation holes. There is an antique bed complete with its lags, a dresser, a cupboard, and a recliner.

"Whoahhh. This is a treasure!" Gery glares happily. He tried to sit in a recliner that was still functioning well.

"Darling, how about we just stay here? No need to pay the contract. Just selling them is an unnecessary item. We can be rich!" said Gery while shaking his lazy chair.

'May' suddenly there was a soft whispering voice, his breath right in Gery's ear. He was surprised, he saw that Ratih was standing looking at the dresser mirror.

"Eh... what? hows it? have you found anything you can carry?" ask Ratih as if he just woke up.

"What are you doing there?" gery asked astonished to find Ratih who turned out to be away from him.

"From the goods, who knows there is something you can bring" replied Ratih.

Gery brushed aside his bad thoughts, recalling his goal of coming to this house.

"We're going to the next room yuk!" Gery holds Ratih's hand, down the other room.

"Your hands are cold, are you afraid?" said Gery feeling the palm of his lover that was like ice.

Gery rekindles his flashlight towards the darker next room. There he found an old jewelry box, and there was a diamond necklace inside. Gery's eyes sparkled.

"Darling!!! finally met! Right, your ancestor must have left something to save us!!" Gery screamed loudly. There's no answer. Gery looked back, no one.

"Darling?"

deserted...

"Ratiha? where're you?" there's no answer.

Gery circulated his flashlight light throughout the space. A white shadow appeared in front of him. Gery flinched, his hair goosebumps!

While in the main room, Ratih who turned out to be still staring in front of the mirror suddenly realized. He looked around and could not find Gery there.

"Gery!!! Where're you??" Train shouted in fear.

"Ger, don't joke around, it's not funny!" Ratih began to cry, realizing that he was alone in the room. Ratih sees a black shadow inside the mosquito net, the bigger it is.the bigger it is. He shuffled and ran out of the room which turned out to be darker. Trainly turns on her HP flashlight while continuing to look for Gery.

"Gery...Gery!!" silent, still no answer from his lover.

Ratih sobbing in the dark looking for Gery. In between her cries, she heard another crying voice. The female cry that sounded bitter and slashing, grew louder. Ratih covered both his ears and shouted very loudly "Geryyyyyyyy!!!!!"

***

While in other places Gery is also looking for Ratih. He walked through space after space in the dark. Gery saw a woman walking towards him.

"Oh.. Ratih..Where are you from? I got this stuff, let's go home!" gery approached the woman.

Getting closer, Gery was surprised! A long-haired woman with a sinister face was standing right in front of her! Grinned out his hand. Gery ran in fear with a limp. He was held in pain in his leg due to a wound that grew wide.

Outside it was getting dark, the lovers were still trapped inside the labyrinth of Rahajoe's villa. They were still looking for each other, but still did not find each other, nor did they meet a way out. Suddenly someone pulls Gery's hand and tells him to find the exit. Gery made it out of the villa, through the bushes and managed to jump over the fence.

"Sir.pak..please sir!" He asked for help from the rickshawman who had been there since noon. Gery boards a rickshaw that takes him away from the villa.

"Good to see a way out, baby!" said Gery in between his breath that was wheezing.

"Who are you talking to, Mom?" ask the pedicab.

Gery looked to the side. It turned out that the woman beside him was not Ratih, but a long-haired Noni with a deathly pale face and a grinning smile. Gery was stunned and surprised, when he looked back, he found the rickshawman without a head! Gery could not move, his legs stiff, his wounds gaping wide. He just screamed with all his might, even if it was a waste.

While inside the villa, Ratih was already desperate. He sat in the corner of the room wailing. He did not know what else to do, his HP was extinguished. Just leaving the darkness.

"Don't be afraid, honey! You can stay here with Eyang"

Ratih tightly shut his ears! Trying to repel the voices of the ghoib by screaming with all his might. The sound of laughter grew louder and louder. Followed by a hunchback grandmother with a stick in her hand getting closer.
