SPIRIT CHILD

SPIRIT CHILD
14. INCREASINGLY SUSPICIOUS



The night was back again but Rima would rather be busy taking care of her sick child than accompany us as her guests.


Finally, we just sat there enjoying the boredom in the room that felt isolated


Even so, Tina and I are not stuck with her condition which must prefer her son who is still sick


Eight o'clock this evening Tina has a great idea to warm up the atmosphere in a cold room


"We're coffee yuk Niss" he asked suddenly


I nodded in agreement


"May also tuh. We make yuk" ask me


Tina shut up for a second


"But we better get permission from the host. Because if later we play make it afraid not polite with the host" said Tina who changed willi-wanti to me


I nodded


There is also a point in Tina's words


"Yes, but if there is no one better under the quiet yes we do not need to say if you want to bokin coffee. But if we meet one of the house below, I'm sure I'll talk" I said


"Good" said Tina quickly


I thought for a moment, frowning


"So, who makes coffee cave alone doang nih, you don't come ?" much


Tina smiled at me


"Mmmm, do you want to be won ?" heed


I nodded "Yes. Pegel brought coffee from the ground floor here" I said, in fact I was afraid that there would be strange creatures below.


Without hesitation Tina rushed "Okay if so go down" he asked


Finally by mutual agreement, we went down the stairs slowly although we also had the opportunity to feel as if there was something invisible was lurking out of nowhere.


To be sure it feels goosebumps right when passing through the door of Rima's room, I also smell the smell of incense that stings sharply to penetrate my brain


Apparently Tina smelled that scent too but luckily Tina and I tried to pretend that nothing happened.


We tried to go through that trajectory with a normal attitude


We just looked at each other without comment and went back to the kitchen


Arriving in the kitchen that increasingly feels quiet and this time very gripping


Because so still harboring fear finally quickly I stepped towards the dish rack and then took a coffee cup


As fast as lightning, I brewed coffee with a stir that was so fast that the sound of spoons and cups clashing together rang out loud at night


Deg.deg.


The sound of my heart so strongly throbbing than usual, pounding so much that Tina also heard it


But I tried to stay calm and focused then directed the cup that I had filled the coffee grounds to the hot button of the dispenser


Tina who had been silently watching me finally commented


"That's the sound of your heart Niss ?" tannya


I nodded then finished the coffee I made


"Yes, I don't know why it feels like the cave really isn't comfortable lingering in this house" I replied as I lifted a tray containing two cups of hot coffee made


Tina sighed deeply as if implying that she had no fear at all


Tina passed the tray I was holding in her hand and then took her step into the room, still talking to me


"Oh my goodness, Niss, you were so scared" he said as he walked in front of me but I walked behind him


A few steps towards the stairs, I again smelled the fishy scent of blood that was very stinging, every few steps walked the scent that I felt then turned into a very stinging stench.


But again I can't comment much on that. I just kept on following the steps of Tina in front of me


Arriving in the room


Tina and I started eating my coffee.


Tina who first sipped it but she could not even enjoy my coffee


"Kok cold like this, this is even like cold coffee that was wilded overnight so aja" he said


I also sipped it


Surely the water is cold, like tap water and it also tastes bland even though there is a coffee taste but not like the coffee that is usually made


I was wondering myself


"So the cavern gave me hot water, Tin" I said in self-defense


"The evidence is cold. You are wrong to give water. Don't-don't you miss the teak water" said Tina as if still yaki if this is my negligence.


Because logically it is not possible to be so fast that the coffee is cold


Tina silently looked at me, she also recalled when she noticed making coffee


"If the cave remembers anyway, it's really you use the hot one. Why is it so cold. We are just from the kitchen" he said in surprise


I who since yesterday had been suspicious of this house finally returned can not control my fear


I kept looking to the left to the right of every corner of the room.


In a whispering voice I began to express what I felt to Tina when she was downstairs


"So right we want to go up again here the cave nyium smell of fishy blood, and stench. Before descending also nyium cave smells fragrant in front of Rima's room. What about Tin ?"


Tina looked at me as if remembering something and finally she also confessed "Yes if it's right down the cave also nyium fragrant in front of Rima's room. But when riding the cave did not smell anything" he said


Hearing Tina's answer straight away I shuddered


"Tomorrow we'll go home. Whatever the reason Rima cave doesn't care" ask me again


Tina nodded in agreement


"Okaya, but hape we are the same Rima" said Tina recalled the phone we put for the contents of the battery


I also just remembered "Oh yes hape we haven't been returned" I said


But Tina doesn't really care about it "Ah, about easy hape it is. Tomorrow morning we ask at once to go home" said Tina then put two cups of coffee on the table


We ended up not enjoying coffee at all


But Tina instead went to the balcony of the room, she opened the room slowly and stood staring at the dark forest.


I am still sitting in bed thinking about tomorrow


As cold as the night wind that went into the room as if piercing my skin to the bone


From outside Tina called me to approach her


"Nissa, here you are !" call him


My mind that had been thinking about what was going to happen tomorrow was finally broken by his voice


Without answering, I approached him


Not yet standing next to her, Tina had already told me something


Tina pointed to her right, from afar visible small streaks of light lights houses at the end of the forest on the right


"look over there, apparently there are inhabitants !" point at


"Yes, I think behind this housing all the forests and mountains yes" I said


"Yes probably since yesterday the cover of thick fog so looks like" said Tina


I nodded in agreement "It could be Tin" I said as I looked back. And I also just realized that apparently there is a way to get there even there are street lights that illuminate even though not all the lights are alive.


It was clearly visible from above even from a considerable distance of view


I just pointed at him


"There's a way to get to the residents !" point at


Tina turned her head in the direction I pointed to then she nodded as if she knew something


"Ooh, I know now. Means when we go to the rough fit want to come here the map does direct us to the city first, well then directed to the road that leads to this housing, this house, but at that time Rima came to use the cutting road. It means that tomorrow we go home by road is easier and we also know that the urban end is ", said Tina


I nodded in understanding "Totally" I agreed


When we were standing on the balcony suddenly someone knocked on the door of the room with a very slow knock.


"Tock.tok.tok..tok"
