PARLORS DIE

THEY JUST FOUND OUT THE REALITY

"We're going to die!" she screamed at me and Reza.

"Dhuaar" the sound of thunder after Sindi uttered that, gave me incredible goosebumps.

Reza and I were silent and shocked.

What does Sindi mean?

Silent mood. Sindi just kept on shedding tears. Reza only with a surprised expression, mouth open and silent. Same with me. I'm sober.

"What do you mean?" I asked with confusion.

Sindi just kept quiet and kept crying ignoring my question. Reza, who also regained consciousness, knelt beside Sindi.

"Sindi, what exactly are you doing?, you're kidding me?" reza smiled and laughed forcefully.

"I'm not lying, I'm serious." Sindi's voice was hoarse and looked at Reza seriously.

Reza was confused. I stood up and turned around. Trying to open the door, which is the entrance to the mother's room. Locked though. I turned around again too.

"...Then, what do you mean we're gonna die?"

Sindi fell silent again and was still crying. Something surprised me and Reza. Sindi hugged Reza whose position they were still on their knees or called sitting together. Reza was just confused.

My feelings are agitated by that.

"Bliz" the sound of the lights going off. The electricity in the house went out.

The sisters shouted for us, I immediately rushed slowly in search of the candle. Reza still accompanied Sindi who was still holding her.

I'm looking for a candle in the living room closet. I then walked through the rooms to the kitchen, looking for matches in the kitchen table drawer.

I managed to find him. After that, I lit a candle to light up around me. As it lit up, I felt a shadow peering at the kitchen window. I shuddered, and immediately walked quickly towards the middle room.

The brothers are still screaming. When I got to the living room, my brothers approached me who had lit a candle.

~|~|~

It was late and the electricity was no longer out. The three of us were in the living room after dinner. We are the ones who cook and prepare dinner. Usually the one who cooks dinner. I don't know where, Mother until now also has not come home.

From this afternoon, when the power went out, Sindi was just flat-faced and her gaze was blank. The bottom of her eyes were swollen from crying marks.

I remember when Sindi hugged Reza earlier. It makes me think and nervous.

Reza looked at Sindi with wonder and keenness.

"Sin, now by the way, what was the meaning of your words earlier?"

Sindi opened her mouth, and looked at Reza seriously.

"We're going to die, die!" Speak smoothly and spontaneously. Then he continued wanting his words.

"So my mother told me that we were actually in a dark parlour, I mean a dangerous home. When we say we will be adopted, in fact it is only to be purchased. Our body is bought. We're gonna die, our organs are taken. We can't live anymore if all of our organs are taken away." Sindi said hoarsely and began to cry.

Reza and I were surprised to hear that.

Why that? What does this mean? Is sindi lying? Is your mother trying to punish us?

"Haha. You lied to me, huh? It's also great your lie, how could it be."

Somehow those words came out of my mouth, and laughed like that. What Sindi said just now made me ticklish.

"That's right, don't lie, you said it yourself."

"Do you believe that right away?" ask me a smug smile.

I just kept quiet after that. Same with Reza who just fell silent from earlier.

Silence is in this room. Time continues to travel towards midnight. I felt an unease because of this quiet atmosphere.

"There's proof, what?" I asked slowly glanced in the other direction, who did not dare to look at Sindi's eyes, as well as to break the silent atmosphere.

"I don't have any proof, but I'm sure you're telling the truth."

"When are you back?"

"I don't know, you just left me, after you told me that."

"Click" the sound of the entrance opened, someone came. It was a mother, dressed all in black and hooded in black. It has a dark and serious aura. Mother looked intently at the three of us. The three of us were both silent and confused and scared.

A gripping and strange atmosphere suddenly felt. Mother who usually smiles now looks angry. His eyes stared intently at the three of us in turn.

"Why aren't you guys asleep? It's late at night." Mother nagged the three of us.

Turns out you look angry because we haven't slept. Somewhat relieved, the atmosphere that had been strange suddenly faded.

"Mother, someone wants to reza ask, is it true kal-"

"That's right, mother doesn't lie. It's reality. Mother will help you out of this place. Forgive me, but you must rest first. Tomorrow morning meet the mother in the mother's room," said the mother flatly and cut Reza's question.

Mother walked past us, while we were just stunned and silent. Staring blankly. Many questions are thought.

Why would you want to save us? What does all this mean?

~|~|~

Reza woke me up, I immediately woke up my body and stood up. It's morning, it's morning. Reza looked at me, she nodded to the side to signal 'come on'. We headed to the front door of the girls' room, to take Sindi as well.

Reza knocked on that door. The door was instantly opened by someone, Sindi who opened it. He nodded with a nervous face. Reza and I nodded back.

We rushed to the front door of the mother's room in this hallway. The place where Sindi cried yesterday. I want to quickly find out this fact, because I can't stand the questions that come to my mind.

As I was about to knock on the door I heard a punch to the table. Making my hands fixate, not knocking.

"I'm sorry sir, forgive me." Mother's voice was heard pleading with someone behind this door.

The three of us were surprised to hear that, and looked at each other. We were confused and just silently wanted to hear.

"You know what not? you broke a promise...Why did you break that promise...?" an upset voice and a playful tone.

"How did you know I told the kids about this place?"

"Well, I know, there are three oldest children who know this place?"

"please...Please forgive me sir." Mother's voice sounded nervous and trembling.

"Of course, I can't, anyways, tomorrow I'll pick you up."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"At his death, hahaha. People like you are no longer needed by big bosses. The one who breaks the promise deserves to die."

Mother does not speak anymore. There was only the sound of evil laughter from that person called 'Master.

Suddenly my mind was out of control. A strange sense of anxiety came hitting my mind. The mind is possessed by questions that accumulate.

What, what the hell is all this? Why like this? How does that person know who the Master is?. Who is the big boss? Mother will be killed, how is this? How can we survive this place**!?
