Title: O Spooky

_________________________

'AhhhHH.', the Shouts of the Goddess shocked me and Alex.

With agility I immediately looked for the Goddess who just said that she wanted to wash her face.

'You why Dew?' While opening the door I asked the Goddess who was standing in the corner of the bathroom in fear.

'Dew, what's wrong with you?' I repeated my question.

'In.. in. there.' Said the Goddess trembling while pointing towards the bathtub.

'The goddess, you are nothing! There's nothing here, there's only water.' Excited after seeing the flowing tap water.

The goddess remained terrified and covered her face with both palms.

'Goddess, I said there was nothing there. Try to get rid of your hands and see for yourself.' I tried to convince the Goddess.

'This is why anyway? Malem-malem ko' snatch ae.' Alex appeared and said somewhat snapping.

'Ade' you tuh, cook he said to squirm blood there.' Answers explained.

Alex approaches the bathtub in search of the truth that the Goddess has said.

'Grandpa, you don't parno! This must be because of the neighbor's story that says that this house is serem, gini, that's it, what! That's what they say.' Alex spoke not curly, very fast.

This house is indeed large and luxurious and two-story, arguably the elite villa! But somehow Aunt Shinta still contracted this house despite having often heard strange stories.

And now, aunt Shinta – our beautiful aunt but still single – it went on duty out of town. That's why Aunt Shinta asked the three of us to take care of this house, all on vacation.

After my cousin Alex lectured her sister, Dewi, we walked into the room where we were watching TV together.

Arriving in the TV viewing room, the lights suddenly went off. Goddesses screaming. Alex calms me and the Goddess. And look for a flashlight or a candle or something that can light up this dark room.

Not long after, the lights came on. The goddess screamed again. I helped Alex find the light turn around to see what happened to the Goddess who just happened to be standing behind me.

But what did I get? Someone with long hair glared at me with a sinister face. Out of shock and fear, I screamed, 'AhHHH…'

'You're okay, aren't you Yul?' When I opened my eyes, Alex was right next to me.

'The nightmare huh? You were ngigau, that's why I woke up.' Alex explained why he woke me up.

'Well, I'm Lex, I'm having a nightmare. Maybe because of the neighbor's story ahead.'

I started telling Alex my dreams.

'Come on, it's just a dream! Look at the Goddess, her sleep is good, right?' Entertain Alex.

'Ah, you are that. Uh Lex, I'm going to the bathroom for a second, okay?' My pamphlet to Alex.

'Okey' Permission from Alex.

I set my foot in the bathroom. But suddenly I was confronted by a girl with long hair, red face, teeth and sharp-looking nails.

'Who are you, and what do you want?' My bluff on a creature I thought was a ghost.

'I want your blood.' The girl said while raising both of her hands like she was going to check on me.

I fear. Just when I was confused as to what to do, Alex dragged my hand. Then we ran away from the girl.

'My dream is right, Lex. That's the girl I had in my dream. And the words of the neighbors are true.' I said shock to Alex while running.

But Alex didn't break my word. We keep running. Behind, the girl followed us.

Tired of running, Alex and I finally saw a ladder. We climbed the stairs to the top floor. But in the middle of the stairs, Alex slipped. And the girl is getting closer to us.

'Julie, you go upstairs! Save yourself! Find anything that can help you!' Alex's orders are panting.

'Lex, but you?' Reply doubt.

'O Yul, you go up, CEPAAT! I'm fine here. Anyway you have to go up, PLEASE Yul…!' Alex howled his ears.

I ran upstairs. Upon reaching above I looked around, completely deserted. When I looked away, suddenly the girl was already in front of me. I'm getting scared. The girl was ready to devour me.

I walked back to get away from the girl. I don't think I've gone too far, and…

'AaaaggghHH.' My screams broke the silence of the night.

I fell from the second floor. My body floated in the air. It blows in the wind and feels very cold.

'BruaakkK.!, his voice sounded quite loud.

'Ha... ha.. ha... Yuli fell out of bed? Wow, must be sick! Therefore, if you sleep do not falm-malem and do'a first, let not wake up bad luck. Or maybe Abis shajuh Yuli prayed to sleep again? Ih, shame donk ama chicken, petok... petok...' Ledek Rini, my friend who as usual early in the morning was nongol at home.

Just dreaming. Ah happy! It turns out I slept in my own house. Not at Shinta's aunt's house, nor was she with Alex or Dewi. Fortunately it's Sunday now, so I don't have to add to my offense point for being late for school. It's strange! In my dreams, I also dream.

But after I thought, why in the dream was I scared to run away? Though the word mas Andy – my brother – : supernatural beings who have no good intentions, will not scare people who believe and fear.

'Astaghfirullohal'adim.' My whisperings to myself are aware that the practice of my learning has not been anything.

That means, I have to learn more to strengthen my faith.
