65 Apri in hostage

It took several hours for the ambulance to arrive at the village. Understand that it is past midnight. It's time for people to rest. But the commotion actually happened again in the village of Tabuk Hulu. Almost all the villagers woke up, especially the houses closest to the homestay where Rea and her friends lived. The injured are treated only. Of course they still get first aid. Especially those who have bleeding. Rea, Leni, and Diah help treat the wounded. Some residents decided to return to their homes. Only a few citizens stayed just in case something bad happened again. They also took care of Fauzan who was now tied up in his room, with the door locked from the outside.

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, they talked. Is Rea and his friends very curious about the figure of the young man who helped them earlier. Radi was busy looking after his father. For example, Mr. Wiryo's injuries are not so severe. But still he is now drowning due to bleeding that occurs in his temple.

" his ambulance is already on its way, sir. You're okay, right? Is there any pain that can't be endured?" ask the young man to Mr. Wiryo.

Mr. Wiryo is now sitting in a chair in the middle room. On the right side was Radi massaging his father's right hand.

"Mr is fine. It's just still pain. But not papa. For you to come quickly. But when are you coming home, King?" asked Mr. Wiryo who seemed to know the young man very well.

" last night. When I got home, Mom said you were going here. So we both followed. Radi had also told of this matter on the way earlier. Why didn't you tell me the same? What if there's this problem in the village?"

" You just don't want to interrupt your college. This problem has also been solved."

"No, Sir. Look, you're just getting hurt like this. That guy was the source of the problem, wasn't he?"

"Yes, right. Nor did you expect it to be so terrible."

" it's worth the feeling I don't feel good, and I always want to go home quickly. That's why I took the last flight to get home tonight."

The two people talked to each other as if they did not care about the people around. Until finally Mr. Wiryo realized that many eyes were looking at him. " Oh yes, until I forget. Ma'am and Mas, introduce is the King, He's my eldest son. Brother Radi. I have two Sons, and here they are" explained Mr. Wiryo who answered all the confusion of Rea and his friends.

"Oh so, yes, sir. We think who was, because it seems to have just seen it now" said Diah.

"" yes, because this king does not live in the village. He is currently studying at a college in Jakarta. It's the end of semester."

"oh that's right we just saw."

Small talk started coloring tonight. Rea looked around. The injured friends can now smile even though they are still enduring the pain. But suddenly he realized one thing.

"Eh, where's Apri?"

" Oh yeah. Still in his room the most. Give us some time to fuss with Fauzan he's still sleepy in Ita's same room."

" but there were storms like this, they didn't come out at all."

" Sleeping time, Re."

"i'll check." Rea then moved from his seat and walked towards Ita and Apri's room. As soon as he opened the room door, Rea glared, and immediately drew closer to Ita's bed.

"Ta?! Which open? Ita! wake, Ta! Where's apri?" rea asked frantically when she did not see Apri in her bed.

Ita started to squirm and woke up to Rea's noisy voice.

"What the hell, Re! I'm still fucking!"

"Apri! Open where!" rea asked as she pointed at the bed next to Ita. 

Ita rubbed her eyes and glared as soon as she saw Apri was not there. "To the bathroom maybe, Re."

Rea immediately came out of their room, and ran to the bathroom. The people who were outside looked at Rea with puzzled expressions.

"Re, why?" dana asked as she held onto her bandaged arm. "Rea! Rea!" dana's screams were not at all directed by Rea.

Ita follows out chasing Rea who looks panicked. Arriving outside Ita was surprised to see the atmosphere outside that looked crowded. What makes Ita surprised is precisely the condition of the people around who look battered and injured in some parts of his body.

"Well, what's going on?" ask Ita to be confused.

"Lo's sleeping or fainting anyway, Ta? There was a fuss earlier when I didn't hear?" ask Hani.

"Huh? What kind of storms?" ask Ita confused.

"Ozan is raging again. He hurt everyone here. Fortunately you are in the room. So secure. But Rea why are you running?" ask Leni.

"Ap - Apri!" cetus Ita pointed towards the direction Rea was going.

"Huh? how's ilang? how can?" dana asked who was so surprised to hear that.

"I don't know. I was sleeping so I don't know when Apri left the room. Know - know he's not in the room!"

Rea returned to the living room. " Apri is not in the bathroom, kitchen, or anywhere else in the house. We have to find him! None of you saw him come out of the house?" rea asked looking at everyone in the room.

And in unison everyone answered with an ignorant answer. It's really weird. So many people were in the house but none of them saw Apri leave the house. Various speculations from the simple to the complicated became their discussions.

Some think that Apri was kidnapped by a ghost who conspired with Fauzan. But there are also those who think that Apri just walked out of the house because he was looking for other friends. The condition of the house was indeed chaotic just a moment ago. Maybe Apri was deliberately out to find friends who were not at home. As a result of this incident they all re-formed a group to look for Apri. No word of rest for tonight.

"Yes, we split up to find Apri" Dana said.

" wait. You better take a break. You still have to recover the body. Let the search this time be left to me and the villagers" said the king.

" Yes, Dan.  King's right. You guys better be here, let me be the same as the others who are looking for Apri. You're wounded. You better recuperate first," said Rea.

"Yes. After all the villagers were the same we were also enough to find Apri.  You guys just stay here. Who knows Apri suddenly came home" Diah added.

"They're right, Dan. Let's just wait here for those who are looking for Apri." Hani agrees with that opinion.

As a result, Dana could not do anything more.  And again the condition of his body also can not be compromised. He finally had to obey the words of his friends. 

Now people have started to split up to find Apri's whereabouts. Although they really do not know where Apri went, but at least they will look to the countryside. 

"Hopefully he's not far away yet" Leni said as she looked around.

"Where is he going, huh?" asked the worried looking Rea. 

"It's weird that I think he suddenly left. Given the condition Apri also again sick. His right leg was also sprained. The time he left was just that."

"Eh, try the phone to the phone, "Rea said.

"Oh yes! Too late stray in the forest so forget that here there is a signal!" Diah grabbed her phone and started calling Apri's number.

Ringtones have been connected to Apri's phone, but never got an answer. While they continued to walk through the village. The atmosphere of the night became not too quiet because some residents came looking for Apri together. Even the sound of mutual disdain began to be heard in some corner of the village calling Apri's name. 

"Duh, don't lift up either!" rengek Diah while still contacting Apri's phone.

"It's okay. Keep tryin. Who knows if it'll be lifted."

Diah is still trying to contact Apri's number, although until now there has been no sign of Apri receiving the phone call. 

"Eh, but Apri hasn't missed home, has she?"

"Just call Dana, get a check in Apri's room." Rea then contacted Dana to make sure that Apri's phone was not in the room. "Dana says nothing. He checked all the corners of the room. Bags, mattresses, pillows, tables, no cell phones."

"At least we have hope. Hopefully wherever Apri is, he can pick up the phone."

"Yes, hopefully."

The steps of the four of them now stopped when they met the King's entourage. At the end of the road. 

"Where? Meet you?" rea asked while looking at the King.

"Yet. All the houses we've been through have been inspected, but none of your friends."

"Well, where is Apri. He shouldn't be able to go far, his legs are still hurting" Leni murmured.

"Who did you call?" asked the King to Diah who was unceasingly making a phone call.

"Oh this, I'm trying to phone Apri. Connecting anyway, means the hape is active, but ... Not lifted from earlier. This is a call to 10!" sighed Diah a little frustrated.

"Then we can do a search by ringing that phone. Even if the phone from you is not lifted, hopefully the ringtone from your friend's phone can be heard. Come on, do another quest together," invite the King with a new spirit.

It's been almost an hour since they searched Apri's whereabouts. Several times they also met with other groups who were also looking for Apri. But until this moment no one could see where Apri was located.

Eventually they started to approach the forest. After searching all the places in the village and never producing results, they decided to look to places that Inan would not be visited by Apri. Because now all they have in mind is one thing. Apri was in an unconscious condition when he left home. With the usual meaning There was a supernatural figure taking him away from home. As can happen to Fauzan or previous trance events. And they only realized that Apri was also a victim of trance the other day. Diah tirelessly kept trying to contact Apri's phone.

Until finally their struggle gets results. The sound of the phone ringing that Apri often used sounded faint. But in a quiet place like on the edge of the village of course the slightest sound will be heard. The first person to realize that was Ita.

"That's the phone! Y'all hear?" ask her while trying to sharpen her hearing.

They were all silent, while also listening to the voice meant by Ita.

"Oh yes! Where is it, huh?" asked Leni while looking.

Villagers who also took part in the search for the group kept quiet and tried to listen to the voice intended by Ita.

"Oh yes, it is true. Looks like this voice came from there," pointed out a resident.

The designated place made people stupefied and hesitant to continue the search. Because that place is the direction where the forbidden forest is located.

"Come, get there" Rea asked fearlessly.

"Re! Waita minute. You see them? No one wants to come with us there to know!" prevent Diah while whispering to Rea.

Rea looked at the villagers. What Diah said is true. From the look on the faces of the villagers around them, none of them seemed enthusiastic following the origin of the voice.

"Why? No one here wants to come with us?" ask Rea firmly.

But no one answered. They just looked at each other and seemed hesitant to say the contents of their hearts. Rea himself did not blame the attitude of the villagers. He realized they had a strong reason, and did not want to go any further in this quest. Especially if the place to go is in the direction of the forbidden forest.

" Yes it's okay. We understand, sir. My friends and I will not force it either. We'll go there ourselves. But I ask you, if you don't mind, please wait for us here for a while. If within 1 hour we do not return, please contact the police to conduct a search into the forbidden forest immediately" Pinta Rea. "Yuk, we're going there" Rea asked her three friends.

"Wait on! I'm with you!" sergeant Raja and now actually walk first in the direction of the forbidden forest. Rea and his friends looked at each other, as well as the villagers. As a result, they now follow the King's steps to enter the forbidden forest.

The king seemed to have no hesitation and continued to walk without looking back or to his left right. The girls followed the King and tried to equalize their steps. The King's move was fast enough, so they were a little overwhelmed to catch up with the King.

"This is a real sadist, yes, his face" whispered Leni.

"But he's the only one who wants to help us, and at least if he's with us, I'm not too afraid that I'll meet someone who looks like Fauzan. Or even if later Apri also possessed like Fauzan, we do not need to be afraid anymore. He can definitely defeat the demon that entered Apri's body."

"ish, don't say anything!" sergeant Rea.

"It's reality, Rea!"

As a result, they argue about the figure of the King who looks cold but has the strength and ability that makes them amazed.

"I didn't think that Mr. Wiryo had such a cute and cool child" Diah whispered to Rea.

"God! He'll hear!"

"Yes. And reality anyway."

"Di, don't stop the phone. We don't know which side Apri is on" Leni said.

"Yes, I still call you!"

The ringing sound of the phone was still heard from where they were walking, and the voice that had been only faintly faint, was now starting to become clearer and louder. It means they have started to get close to where Apri's phone is.

But suddenly the voice that was originally just a typical phone ringing from Diah's phone, turned into the rustling sound of leaves being stepped on. Diah, who first heard about it, immediately stopped walking and stared at her phone. The screen that was originally still in a calling condition, had now turned into a missed position by someone across. The screen starts showing the second by second the call is taking place.

"Eh, lifted!" he looked at Diah while looking at his friends.

As a result they all stopped walking and watched Diah's phone.

"Try on the loudspeaker!" rea pinta.

He complied and immediately pressed the speaker button, and the sound became clearer. The king looked around. But until now he did not see any human movement or light coming from the mobile phone screen.

"Hello? Apri? Apri where are you?" diah began to interrogate.

But no human voice was heard. Since then, there has only been noise across.

"Don't nothing happen to Apri, and she can't talk?" leni asked with a possibility that made them more anxious.

"Duh, don't dong. Apri, don't let me know why!" sergeant Ita.

"Yes, maybe, Ta. Not that I want to pray for the bad. Because the voice of Apri from earlier was not astonished."

"Sst. Okay, don't argue. Let's try listening again. Maybe Apri will soon be able to talk to us" said Rea optimistically.

He called Apri's name again. From soft calls to high notes. "Don't mess around! Whoever you are there, if until my friend why napa, watch out! I'm going to wipe out the forest, so you don't have a place to live anymore! Let's taste!" omel Diah and make Rea shut her friend's mouth.

"Let's go, Re! He ended ... Bhhhff. The re! Ffft." Diah had trouble speaking because Rea kept trying to keep her mouth shut. It is only natural that Diah is emotional, because every human being certainly has a different level of patience.

"Shhh. Don't say anything, Di!" omel Rea's.

But the rustling sound from the leaves that were across the phone, turned into a growl with a heavy sound.

"sst. There's noise!" the king said, telling them to be quiet.

They were all silent, trying not to let out a word even the slightest sound. The grunts that were heard at the beginning now turned into giggles. Soon it became a sound of crying. The king then looked at the 4 girls closely, as well as the four of them.

"Where is this?" rea asked in a whisper.

"Apri isn't he?" lenny asked in a whisper.

"If not Apri, then who? the devil?"

"If this Apri means he's possessed dong!"

"Who are you?" ask the King.

"Hishihi. You're looking for this girl, aren't you?" ask a voice that they memorized right, if the voice belongs to Apri.

"April Voice!" whisper Ita to the King.

" Who are you? You better not hurt that girl! We didn't mess with you either, did we?" asked the King to negotiate.

" not Teasing? Said who? You have taken one of my men hostage! So if you want this girl to survive, let's switch places."

" which one of your men? Fauzan you mean?" ask King.

"Well, Fauzan. He is my most loyal man. So he's off, and I'm gonna give this girl back without missing one."

The king did not directly answer the demon's question. He seemed to be thinking hard. Indeed, the conditions put forward by the devil are very easy. Return Fauzan to the forest and the situation will be under control again. It's just that if he gives Fauzan back to the devil, then it's likely that bad events will reoccur. Entar will affect Tabuk Hilir Village, or other villages. It could even threaten other cities and some places around the world.

" we will discuss this before deciding!" king says.

The phone is also turned off. The king looked towards the forbidden forest. There he could see someone standing staring at them. It can be guessed that the figure is Apri who is being possessed by an evil spirit.

"So what, Ja? What do we do?" ask Rea.

" i am confused too. Because the choices given are very difficult to decide. Honestly, I can't choose any of those options. Because if we choose to return Fauzan to them, then there will likely be another disaster. I am sure if until the creature managed to control Fauzan completely, then the disaster that occurred is not only in the area here. The power of Fauzan will increase and increase if it is not healed. But if we don't return Fauzan, then your friend will be the same fate as Fauzan. Those demons only needed human bodies as hosts. Anyone who has the most prominent of bad character and fears and anxieties, will be very easy to master!"

" if it is like that, Apri can be the next target dong! What do we do?"

" that's what I'm thinking. What do you think? Do you have a solution, if you can choose one of your friends to be taken by them?"

The King's question is really hard to answer. Even in their hearts, do not mind if Fauzan was brought by the devil. But the effects or impacts that will occur later will actually be more dangerous than what they have experienced in the forbidden forest so far.
