PARLORS DIE

OCCASION

Third person plot.

Tonight... Night for the children to escape. Each one of them had great hopes of survival. Hope to be free and live. All this time they were fooled by all that was walking. The lies that they have so far, they will repay with freedom. They want to see a happy future.

At night, at one o'clock, they prepare everything. The rest just move. They had confirmed that the aunt had fallen asleep.

Yayan, Reza, Kevin and Willy, were in the girls' room, walking up to the iron fence. They do it repeatedly, up to four mattresses. They also try not to be too noisy.

In the middle of their trip, they had a conversation.

"What are we going to do if someone gets caught by that aunt," asked Yayan.

"...If I ask you, what will you answer?" reza's question surprised Yayan.

"...Guess ...I'm gonna leave it... Then seek help in the city," said Yayan.

"Yes... Looks like, it'll be better. But we won't know if people in the city will believe us" Reza said.

Yayan only went silent lamenting. Same with the sisters. They were afraid that no one would believe in the city. They were all agitated by what was about to happen. That goes for Sindi, Nia, and Deva.

After they finished lifting the mattress to the front fence. They then arrange the mattresses in the men's room. Organize it in a planned manner. That is stacking it in the corner of the male room, to be able to reach the loft hole of the house.

"Courses to plunge from the fence already... Mattresses to help climb to the top have also been.." muttered Reza.

"About Sindi they're done setting a trap?" ask Yayan slowly.

"Either... Kevin, Willy, check on you. When they're done, call them here" tell Reza.

"Yes, brother" said Willy. Kevin nodded.

Kevin and Willy then walked quickly towards the passageway.

"Let's get the tablecloth, let's take it" Reza told Yayan.

***

Sindi was in the middle of the aisle of aunt's room, setting a trap with the sisters there. Kevin and Willy came towards them. The four of them were a little surprised.

"Are you guys done?" ask Kevin.

"Yes, we're done pouring water and soap." Sindi spoke looking at the hallway floor.

Wet floor slippery due to soap. With a minimal light hallway, it is certain that the aunt will slip if she runs there. It may be dangerous, due to its hard, ceramic-covered floor. But for sure, the aunt would not die right away.

"Reza and Yayan are waiting. Come on," said Willy.

"We hid the bucket and the soap first" Nia said.

"Let's help" said Kevin.

After Kevin said that, he took the bucket from Nia's hand, then Kevin put his soap into the bucket. Kevin walked over and hid the bucket in the corner of the living room wall.

"Now it's done. Come on," said Kevin.

Sindi, Nia and Deva nodded simultaneously. They then went to the men's room. They try not to be too noisy when walking.

After arriving, Sindi opened the door and entered it with her sisters.

They saw Yayan waiting on the pile of mattresses, and looked at Reza who was seen in the attic there. Sindi then stepped closer to the mattresses.

"Come, Sindi gets up here" Yayan told him.

Yayan reached out his hand, Then Sindi held it and tried to climb up her mattresses. Arriving at above—

"Now get on my shoulders," said Yayan as he ducked.

Sindi was a bit hesitant with that. But he realized that there was not much time. Sindi then climbed onto Yayan's shoulder.

"Strong grip," asked Yayan.

Sindi nodded hearing that. After that Yayan set up his body, lifting Sindi so that she could get out of the roof with Reza.

Reza extended his hand to Sindi, and Sindi took Reza's hand. Sindi attempts to climb to the top, aided by a hand-pull from Reza.

Sindi managed to climb up and enter her attic, making them all relieved.

"...Rope to lift them later how?" sindi asked Sindi to Reza.

"Here," said Reza, showing the cloth from the long tablecloth.

"...I'm not sure about that, I doubt that they can jump from the roof to the top of the fence" Yayan said.

"Yes, sister, I'm not sure myself" said Nia Ragu.

"Then... Just Kevin and Willy?" Yayan glanced at Kevin and Willy.

"Me and Willy helped Brother Yayan lift this mattress out" replied Kevin.

"Let's just the two of us, we'll definitely lift you up" Reza said looking down.

Yayan and the sisters nodded.

"Now, Prepare. Sisters... You wait by the iron fence, ...Yayan watched the front door." said Reza.

Yayan nodded, "Come on.." he said towards Kevin and Willy.

After Yayan and the sisters were out of sight from the attic, Reza put up a swing to kick the roof from the half-fall position. Sindi closed her ears and narrowed her eyes.

Reza then swung the kick upwards with all her might. "Clang" The sound of the roof being destroyed instantly by his kick.

Aunt woke up to that, she confirmed her hearing back. However, there was no longer the sound of the roof being destroyed like that.

"What happened.." muttered Auntie.

Yayan and the sisters heard that, they felt that something more complicated was about to start happening due to the loud noise of the roof.

"The voice is loud." - Yayan was worried.

Reza and Sindi were aware of it, they felt that the aunt could have been awakened by the loud noise earlier. The two of them immediately climbed onto the roof and got ready to jump. After that they managed to jump onto the wall fence. Walk fast and balanced.

Yayan and the sisters are thrilled when Reza and Sindi begin to be seen over the sidewall fence. Yayan then walked closer to the front door, watching if an aunt could be seen from the inside.

Reza throws one end of the rope down, the courtyard of the house. Then the end of the rope was caught by Kevin. The other end of the rope, Reza threw it to the outside of the iron fence. After that, Reza jumped onto the mattress that Yayan had brought them.

Reza managed to land on the bed safely. He heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Sindi above the fence.

"Let's jump here Sin," he asked slowly.

Sindi hesitated a little. He was worried that he would fail to land. He hesitated because he had to be able to jump from the end of the concrete fence, next to the iron fence to the mattress underneath.

"Let's Sin fast, we have to lift the brothers and Yayan uses the rope from down here." said Reza who was a little irritated.

Sindi awakens from her worried daydream. He then poked up and jumped. Upon landing, he lost his balance and held his body in his hands.

Sindi landed her hand first. He felt a bit of pain due to his sprained hand. Although the mattress feels soft, but still his hands are not strong because it holds the balance of his body when landing. Not to mention because of his hand that was gripped by Master back then.

Reza and the sisters are shocked to see Sindi.

"Are you okay, sine?" said Reza approached Sindi who sat holding her wrist.

"Sjust sprains... Let's lift them up... I might not be too strong to pull the rope later." - Sindi quietly.

"It's okay, we lift the lighter brothers first." said Reza helped Sindi stand up.

"Yes" said Sindi.

Yayan was still watching the inside of the house from the front door. He let out a sigh of relief because there was still no aunt in sight from it. Yayan then turned his gaze towards the iron fence. He saw that Nia was being lifted up. After Nia was on top of the iron fence, Nia moved her body forward, to drop herself onto the mattress below.

Nia managed to land with her side body.

"Good Nia! ...Help us both to lift the other one up" Reza said.

Nia nodded and directly held the rope in front of Reza. Reza held the end of the rope to make it stronger to lift. Sindi was in front of Nia.

One by one they managed to get out safely. It starts with Nia, then Deva, then Willy. Only Kevin and Yayan have not been appointed. Yayan heard a loud bang from inside, like something had fallen. Yayan suspects that the aunt fell due to the trap of Sindi and the sisters.

Yayan then ran up to them Reza.

"Come fast! It seems like the aunt has woken up," urged Yayan as he got near them.

Kevin immediately held onto the rope, then those outside the fence pulled the rope with all their might. They made Kevin scream a little because of that. Kevin landed on the bed down there.

"Dhumm" the sound of the front door opening. Solving the silence of the night, echoing in their respective ears.

Seen an aunt who was expressing indignation. His clothes were half wet with water and soap. Aunty held onto her shoulder which was hurt from being slipped by the trap of Sindi and her younger sister.

"Kids, you're brash..."
