SEBERANG VILLAGE

Chapter 23 - The Red Kuntilanak

The owner of the stall stared strangely at Mbak Rondo who was still spoiled with Dekka. He struggled spoiled on his younger arm, though many times he had been rejected. Dekka's feelings were high, while Bertan smiled mockingly. It was nice to see Dekka depressed as he is now because of that figure. Not wanting to be the center of attention for longer, Dekka finally decided to pay for the fried food and dragged Bertan who had not spent his coffee away from there.

His whole body was goosebumps, not because he saw a creepy figure because Dekka was getting used to them. But because of the attitude of the kuntilanak who possessed Mbak Rondo and how the figure was spoiled on him made all his fur stand up instantly. He sped up his steps, deliberately in order to immediately find a quiet place to just reveal the identity of the figure.

They are in the area of many trees around the village. Other residents may have locked their homes, because the time also shows at 20:09 because the stall seemed to have berberes wanted to close. Just waiting for the three of them to leave from there the owner willingly closed the stall. And without any doubt at all the figure followed Dekka.

Until finally Dekka stopped his steps when he felt that they had enough to be in a quiet place. He readied his heart, calming his mind so as not to be easily influenced by the figure later. Dekka turned his body, looking at Mbak Rondo who was in front of him, only a few meters away where they stood.

Bertan took a step back, according to plan he would keep Dekka from behind should he collapse later. He caught a glimpse of her, from the look in the eyes of Mbak Rondo had great lust and obsessions. It gave him goosebumps, imagining how a dead person could like a human who was still dizzying about his life.

"I know you're not Miss Rondo, if you dare to just show yourself. Do not take Mbak Rondo's body," said Dekka defiantly. Mbak Rondo's gaze changed for a second, then the next second returned as usual. Seductive and full of taste in Dekka, what next happens is quite surprising. Rondo's body was limp and fell to the ground, while his body daro came out a creature in red clothes with long hair stranded.

The figure flew closer to Dekka with his smiling face. This time it did not look pretty like the usual Rondo Maiden, but it looked creepy with a tear around her lips. His face was smashed with wounds, his hands moving towards Dekka were filled with maggots coming out of every hole. Dekka nausea instantaneously, all the contents of his stomach is turbulent to ask to be issued at that time.

"You're so handsome!"

The figure spoke, Dekka took a step back with the face allowed so that the figure would not touch her. Disgusted at the thought of a hand full of maggots that managed to touch a single inch of his face. The figure looked annoyed, not managing to touch the handsome face he craved.

"You're so handsome, I'd marry you if I were alive" the figure said.

"But look at yourself now, you're not like me. You're not human anymore, so throw away all your wishful thinking" Dekka said defiantly. The figure laughed, looking funny with the words Dekka said.

"Then what if I make you just like me? Then you'll be with me, won't you?" The red Kuntilanak figure spoke. The feathers of Dekka immediately goosebumps especially when the figure advances to attack towards Dekka.

Looked annoyed in the eyes of the figure, and then he turned to want to re-enter the body Mbok Rondo before finally he saw Bertan who was near his figure. He stared intently at Bertan who was just grinning then stepped aside, and when the sosol wanted to go back in he could not. It was as if something was preventing him from re-entering the body he was using the container.

"Why can't you go in? Very sorry," said Bertan tense. As long as the figure was talking to Dekka earlier he had already paired the necklace given by Kek Retno. Kek Retno said it was to ward off the figures who had been eyeing Mbak Rondo's body. And it turns out that it works, even though only a necklace, but it can be used as a talisman.

The red Kuntilanak then looked furious, attacking towards Dekka and Bertan who looked close together. They closed their eyes, praying in their hearts. Nothing happened, the air around also changed to be more soothing than usual. They opened their eyes, no longer seeing the figure around them. There was only Mbak Rondo who had looked at them with a look of wonder and fear.

Bertan drew closer to Dekka, whispering a sentence about Mbak Rondo. That the figure in front of him is how Mbak Rondo usually, do not dare to mess around. Look at his eyes plain, with a face that is tense but so good to look at. The woman got up, realizing she was in a place she didn't know about with the two young men in front of her. Not wanting any news to interject, Mbak Rondo ran away leaving Bertan and Dekka who were actually about to explain.

"Gue was afraid we were mistaken for what it was," said Dekka slightly grimacing to see Mbak Rondo running towards the darkness. Bertan nodded, after all they were both with Madam Rondo a woman must have been suspicious. But they did nothing, the touch was at least given when wearing the necklace earlier by Bertan.

"Yaudah let's go back, I'm sleepy. We'll talk tomorrow," take Bertan.

The two of them finally walked home, hoping that after this no more figure would tease Dekka like before. Mending is a human being, this is a spirit figure that Dekka does not know who.

But it does not seem that easy, because the figure of the red kuntilanak still often appears on Dekka occasionally even though only looking from a distance. But Dekka often ignored, choosing to pretend not to care even though he was actually quite uncomfortable. Mbak Rondo was the same, when met with Dekka or Bertan who wanted to explain, he even ran away. Her beautiful face was dry covered with a hat or scarf that was used to avoid direct eye-to-eye with the two young men.

"Have left it, if later he wants to ask for a new explanation explained." Kek Retno told me the second time Mbak Rondo avoided them. Bertan and Dekka both let out a tired sigh, they just wanted to give an explanation and it felt really hard.

"He's embarrassed, so don't bother."
