The Empty House

Chapter 22 Sintia objected

Rangga then met Sintia and told her intention to call her mother's spirit.

"Don't Rangga, I'm calm there. Why should we bother him again, "Sintia was wide-eyed and bowed down sadly.

"Sintia, that's all we can do to save father and also the next victim" Rangga tried to persuade Sintia.

Rangga knew, it was not easy for Sintia to do this. If this is done, it will save many lives.

"They're getting brutal. If we let them get stronger. Then the more their strength, the harder it is to defeat...."

Sintia raised her chin slightly. He looked at the window and stared at it blankly.

"Sintia.. think carefully, what we do will be helped by the citizens,"

"I'm afraid of Rangga. After mom died. Dad comma. You're my only family. I don't want anything to happen to you..hiks!"

Sintia started crying. He was really afraid of losing Rangga. He knew very well the power of those supernatural beings. Defeating him is certainly not easy.

Rangga understood the fear his sister felt. Rangga then approached her and hugged her.

"Nothing will happen to me. Don't worry,"

"Please promise me you'll be fine" Sintia clasped Rangga's hand and her heart pounded.

Sintia is very anxious and worried about the safety of Rangga.

"You stay here and take care of me. If there's anything call me right away. Me and Toni and the villagers will prepare everything,"

"Yes..keep yourself...." Sintia stared at Rangga for a long time. And then hugged him again.

Rangga smiled faintly and nodded then held onto both of Sintia's shoulders.

"You take care of yourself, too,"

Rangga came home because his father was still in a coma. She was exactly like her mother.

.

All the villagers had gathered at Pak Bayan's house. They are deliberating about expelling the spirits that have troubled the citizens.

"Where did we start, sir?"

"Wait for Rangga and his friend to come, his friend said he could expel the curious spirits,"

From a distance, a black car approached. Not long after that Rangga and Toni went down. They carry a small box similar to the chest of Toni's ancestors given her father.

Rangga and Toni approached the villagers who were already sitting in the portico that had its bale-bale.

"Sorry sir, we're late. There was a little obstacle on the road" said Rangga politely.

"No papa son. We are also new to coming. Let's just get started,"

"Where's son?"

"It's under the bridge!"

"I mean...."

"Under the bridge there was an old well that was a hundred years old. Inside there is a waiting grandmother who is currently often asked by some people for the gift. Moreover, since there was an empty house near the river, then they made a kind of ghost kingdom. If left it will be stronger and unsettling citizens. Some people use them for alimony, and they ask for a mash in return,"

"What?"

"What Rangga said. Dad told me. I was forced to summon my father's spirit because this really had to be exterminated,"

"If so, let's go there!"

"Wait a minute sir. We'll do it when they're all gone?"

"Where are they going?"

"They attended the celebration in the swamp river. They're gonna go there and leave the empty house and the bridge,"

"Then what should we do?

"As long as they're gone, we'll burn the house down and also close the well under the bridge,"

"All right....."

"Sir.must be finished in three hours. And after that they'll get angry and go berserk,"

"I have prepared this holy water to be poured along the edge of the village. They won't be able to get into the village and disturb the residents as long as we make a deal with them,"

"What's that deal?"

"I will move them all to a forbidden forest. There is an empty house. And the house is far from the people. So that their existence will not disturb the residents anymore" said Toni.

"Okay, I agree with your idea. Mr. Jono who will pour holy water around the village so that during the burning of the house, no ghosts enter and disturb the villagers,"

"Yes. I will pour the holy water." replied Mr. Jono.

"But...does Rangga and Sintia not mind the destruction of the house?"

"No sir. I have told the party who had sold the house at a low price, he has prepared a replacement. The house is smaller but we don't mind,"

"Well, if everything is ready. If neither side is harmed by the destruction of that house, then there will be no problems afterwards,"

"Let's just calm, sir, about that,"

Residents flocked to empty houses and to the edge of the bridge. They were carrying torches and said Toni the destruction lasted from 12 to 3 a.m. After that, the ghosts will return.

If the house is destroyed, then they will no longer stay here and disturb the citizens.
