SEBERANG VILLAGE
Chapter 12 - The Dangers of Lurking
After all the effort they put into finding traces of awkwardness from the grandmother's room, all still produced nothing. There is no awkwardness from the grandmother's room, just that one of the cabinets can not be opened and he said it was from the beginning because the key was lost. Dekka and Bertan did not feel any strange air there, so he just believed that there was nothing there.
Tired of looking they finally let things go as they always did, assuming that they didn't know about it before. The next day went well, until finally a thing was seen by Dekka's eyes. There, at the house of one of the residents who was far enough away with the house Dekka looks something strange. The house looked darker, and Dekka saw a creepy figure there.
The figure is large but different from what Dekka saw in the river. The figure was more sinister according to Dekka, his entire body was not covered in fur, but the body was pitch-black with red eyes. His hands are large, but only next to his long fingernails that always touch the roof of the house. Dekka did not dare to speculate at first, but surprisingly one of the family members in the house died.
Ms. Darmi, the owner of the house was surprised at first because her brother-in-law died without clarity. But Dekka did not also tell Bertan or Kek Retno, until finally Dekka saw something stranger than before. The large figure was no longer touching the roof of the house as usual Dekka passed, only the figure was now licking the roof of the house. Making a greenish-colored mucus drip from his big mouth.
And Dekka thinks all that is quite clear, there is a danger lurking in Bu Darmi's house, there is something sent by someone who knows who. Dekka finally discusses it with Bertan later, and Bertan is equally curious. But the message of Father and Mother is still a prohibition for them to do something, so that night they decided to tell Kek Retno about it.
"Yes, what do you want?" ask Kek Retno when they finish explaining their intentions and goals to come there. Dekka and Bertan just looked at each other, right also what would they do if they knew? But still somehow stuck in their hearts if they just kept quiet without doing anything.
"Yes but at least say it's cake, the kasian who doesn't know anything is afraid of being a victim."
Bertan answered and Dekka nodded in support, while Kek Retno only laughed hearing the two young people in front of him who were too naive in his opinion. Do they think Bu Darmi will believe, of course the answer is no. That is impossible as it seems, considering he is one of the bravest people in the village.
"Keep if you guys tell him, he'll believe it? If they believe, what if you get it in the end? Grandpa didn't want to interfere, he was old enough to die. After all, grandfather is no longer able," Kek Retno reply did not want to lose.
Bertan and Dekka just kept true to what Kek Retno said. Dekka then just, enghela breath, decided to part with Bertan who followed from behind. The dim street lights illuminated the narrow path to the house, and finally the back door was in front of them. This time they stopped together, in front of the back door towards the house was a figure standing.
The figure that was supposed to inhabit Bu Darmi's house is now in front of them, and this time a miracle is not only Dekka who saw it but Bertan also saw it. Dekka fell silent, and Bertan stared blankly. Dekka noticed it, quickly turning the way to the main door of the house by dragging Bertan who was still pensive.
"Guard, wakeful!" One loud bang Dekka lay down to wake the cousin, Bertan immediately jerked. His eyes blinked slowly, making sure that what he had just seen was not just his delusion, he looked at Dekka. Dekka looked confused, the look on Bertan's face did not even show fear like he did when he first saw them.
"Lo squirming?" ask Dekka. Bertan nodded still between belief and disbelief, Dekka immediately rounded his eyes quite strange. He then smiled happily a second later, meaning that it was not only him who would see how sinister their figure was.
There was still that figure there, staring also at those who seemed to have been known to be coming back to meet. The stare shrieked the figure, and Dekka could hear the painful cry of shrill ears from the figure. He covered his ears with both hands, releasing a drag on Bertan's hand. The pain pierced his head, hearing the shrill scream was getting louder and strangely Bertan did not feel the same.
"Don't interfere!"
The figure said in a creepy low voice, then disappeared from their expectations after saying such a sentence. Dekka immediately crouched down, his head feeling very sick after hearing the shrill figure. Bertan approached Dekka, holding his cousin to go back inside.
"We can't interfere yet, he knows our intentions. Shh son of a bitch hurts my head so much" said Dekka while grimacing while grabbing her hair. Bertan grimaced to see it, but he heard nothing of the figure.
"Gue doesn't hear anything" he said.
"Lucky, it hurts a lot."
"Tspi De, do you feel anything strange, right? I don't know why it feels like I've felt the aura of that figure" Bertan explained. Dekka shook his head, he never felt it, even the figure of Bu Darmi was still aing according to him. Only his family never met him during his stay.
"Lupain, I want to sleep my headache. Tomorrow, I'm going to town, I have something to take care of" Dekka said.
Those who do not realize, those who are too naive and curious make a figure that initially does not target them start to lurk. Without them realizing it the figure began to keep watching all night on the orders of the master. The danger that they should never have, finally came because of their naivety that was unintentionally heard by the master of that figure.
At his home Kek Retno just watched the scene earlier, seeing how the two young men would behave. Breathing sounded, really the figure of the young man really reminded him of the old friend snag.
"They are really your descendants, hopefully the fate is not the same apes."
