The house is crowded, some relatives have started to arrive. The children played together in the front yard with a cheerful laugh.
"Oh, is this Bayu's candidate?"
Riani smiled, she slightly moved from her seat to greet the gathering that had just come.
He was wearing white clothes with a veil wrapped around his neck. Of all the people, his appearance was the most striking. The fragrance of the perfume she used instantly burst into all corners of the room.
"Riani," called Utari from inside the house, she waved her hand.
Hearing her name being called, Riani walked over. "What's up, Mom?"
"Later during the ritual you go into the room."
"Oh, am I not following the ritual?" Riani looked towards the people who were coming more and more.
"You follow the ritual, Ri, it's just your job in the room" Utari explained.
"Why am I in the room, Mom?"
"There's nothing you need to do, you just wait until the ritual is over."
Riani nodded her head, understood. "Now what will it be, ma'am?"
"Now no papa, soon the ritual is about to begin." Utari tidied Riani's hair. He smiles. "Later all the evil things that are in you are lost after this ritual is completed. You and Bayu can also be more lasting."
"Yes, ma'am, aamiin" said a smiling Riani. "If so, I'm going into the room right now, ma'am."
Utari. "Please, Nduk."
From the corner of Riani's eyes, he could see one winnow containing flowers of various colors before he stepped inside his house.
Inside the room, Riani sat her body. He took a smartphone with power that is still left eighty percent since the first yesterday because it is very rarely used.
The smartphone is turned on. Riani started playing a guessing word game that could be played offline even though it was quite boring.
Click!
Riani looked towards the room door. His heart felt very confident that the door had been locked. Wanting to prove it himself, Riani moved from her seat.
He walked closer to the door and turned the doorknob of his room. Right, that door can't be opened.
Riani frowned along with the sound of voices from outside. I don't know what they're doing, but Riani can't figure out what they're saying.
The longer Riani felt the fur of her nape was getting up. Riani immediately moved away from the door, standing at the end of the room while covering both ears, not wanting to hear any sounds from outside.
When he opened his eyes, Riani saw a woman in a red kebaya dress. Her appearance is very beautiful and graceful. He stood with both hands in front of his body while showing a smile that made his face look beautiful.
"Who-you? Y-when did you come in?" riani asked, he looked for a moment at the door of the room that was still locked.
"Riani," called out to her in a slightly resounding voice. "You don't feel comfortable here, do you?" ask with a smile that continues.
Riani nodded her head.
"I can help you."
"Help what?"
"You want to get out of here, right?"
Riani nodded her head.
"Hand my hand" he said, extending his hand.
Slowly Riani stepped closer. His hand began to rise to accept the woman's hand.
"But you have to tell your mother to come with me."
Instantly Riani pulled back her hand. Riani shook her head strongly. "No, I don't want to!"
"I'm giving you another chance." He still extended his hand. His eyes looked for a moment at his open palm. "Hm?"
Riani kept shaking her head. "No!"
The woman approached quickly, even when Riani had not yet dodged.
Riani felt her body tremble as the woman crashed into her body.
"Yeah!!!"
Looking to the right and to the left, Riani did not see the red woman again. Even until the look of his eyes swept across the room, Riani could not see the woman anymore. I don't know where he went.
"He is not human ..he is not human" Riani said in a trembling voice.
Suddenly the lights in the room died, not long after it came back to life and died again.
As the lights went off, Riani saw a man with chains on his hands and feet in the corner of the room. He immediately remembered a dream that he had experienced some time ago. Riani remembered her father.
"YR ...! OPEN DOOR! OPEN THE DOOR ... JUSTJUST PLEASE. PLEASE ...!"
Riani ran towards the door, hitting the door of the room that was locked from outside. But no one opened it.
The sounds of people chanting strange things still continued to be heard, echoing in the room space.
The sound of falling objects made Riani turn her head. As the lights flashed in a few seconds, he could see her beauty products and items on the table that had been scattered on the floor.
Riani's heart was pounding, she could still see the man in the corner of the chained room as the lights went out.
Riani's hand kept pounding on the door. He asked the people outside to open the door for him. But the door did not open.
A cold hand felt on Riani's leg. He looked down and found pale white hands with long nails.
"PLEASE ...!!!"
Riani's body fell down as the hand pulled her leg. Riani could not hold her body anymore. His strength instantly disappeared.
He could only resign when his body hit the wall very hard. Riani fell down with a limp body.
His eyes are blurry. He saw the figure of the man who was chained when the lights went off, not only that, he also saw a woman with a red kebaya who laughed without a sound.
White hands with long nails came out of the ground, grasping and lifting Riani's feet to touch the ceiling of the house.
"Yeah!!!"
Riani's body position was now reversed for a few seconds. Before finally his body was again slammed into the floor surface.
"Please ...." Riani said in helplessness.
His eyes were blurry looking around. Every time the light flashed for a few seconds, he could see the already messy room.
The lights that kept on and off also made his head feel more dizzy. Riani tried to move on, she was still not desperate.
With a blurry look of eyes and a body of pain, Riani pulled her still-sitting body towards the door.
His hand clasped the doorknob tightly, turning it around many times hoping that the people outside could look towards the door of his room.
But what he did seemed to be in vain. Some days no one opens the door for him.
"Whoever help me .. I can't stay here, please ...," Riani said in a soft voice.
He looked back, the woman with the red color approaching with red eyes and long canine teeth to the outside of the mouth.
"YES!!!"
The woman with red again penetrated Riani's body and Riani felt the same way.
Riani felt her increasingly limp body helpless. He could only stare at the ceiling with the lights still on and off.
"Riani ... Ruby ...."
Both of Riani's eyes blinked, she heard a voice that might give rise to a despair.
"Fe-Fella ... Fella, where are you? Help me, Fel, please!"
