The Groaning From Behind the Grave

chapter 2: behind the light

It turned out the same as yesterday, heavy rain again flushed this village area. Lightning in the distance was seen grabbing the night sky that had begun to crawl up. the atmosphere looks dark and lonely no one accompanies.

aryo glanced out of the house from behind the window glass.The man's shoulders seemed to tremble slowly withstanding the cold that slipped into his room.

the man with the status of a widower further tightened the blanket that enveloped his entire body.when it felt his body was comfortable, the man was back in silence, more precisely daydreaming in the room space that somehow felt this quiet. maybe because he was alone or someone is now missing somewhere.

in his day, Aryo recalled the flashbacks of events that occurred a few hours ago.the moments where he could joke with his late wife.

aryo sighed stifled, reflected in his thoughts a sweet, sun-like smile that illuminated every empty space in the aryo's heart, giving him warmth as the cold greeted.

but now the sun has dimmed, all that remains of it is a silent darkness and an endless void.

in the shadow of aryo, he wanted to reach his woman again.he missed with a daughter, the woman who had accompanied him for years wading the household ark.but why is destiny so cruel to him? why is destiny so quick to take me from his side? make him lonely accompanied by gripping silence here.

aryo just exhaled tired breath, he did not expect if today was their last moments together in the world.Maybe for now he must learn to accept this fate thought aryo in his inner rampage.

as aryo was staring blankly at the ceiling of the room which was a bit dark not reachable light, the man again felt cold, cold that only felt in the area of the feet. Aryo was really uncomfortable with this cold, this cold, not because he was not used to facing the cold, but did not know why now the fur on his back suddenly stood.

aryo creeps for no reason.but this is not the first time he is alone in the house with a quiet atmosphere.but somehow he feels there is something different with tonight. I don't know maybe this is just a feeling of aryo alone that is somewhat parnoan.

the roar in the sky swept a gripping silence in the earth court. aryo still lay daydreaming staring at the dark sky platfom.the sound of clockwork seconds sounded accompany the man's daydream.

"Hiks...Hix...Hicks..."

aryo blinked his eyes slowly, his eyeballs rolling wildly staring at the dark surroundings without illumination of the night.The heavy rain that fell caused unexpected results, the sudden and even lights off for the entire village. fortunately he had a petromax lamp that always faithfully accompanied him.aryo smiled from under the blanket.

aryo remembered, if he put the lamp in the living room instead, so inevitably he had to take the petromax lamp.

feeling uncomfortable, the man hurriedly rose from his sleep. rubbing the sweat sweat that soaked his forehead, aryo again silent in silence.not contemplating, not pondering, but it was sharpening its hearing when it was felt that strange sounds reappeared.

"hiks..hiks...hiks...please"

that's how about what aryo heard. ""woman's voice" whispered aryo full of question marks.his mind wondered about that voice.

the sound was heard from outside the house.the sound of a soft cry as if drowning in the rumbling rain.

" what's that sound? " sobbly whisper aryo slowly.

when it felt everything was getting strange, the man immediately moved from his blind bed. The sound of the bed squeaking sounded quite loud deafening ears.

aryo was walking quietly near the door of the room. The flash in the sky created enough bright light to reveal the darkness in the room, and now he knows where he is.

he was standing on a glass table, just on the right side of the room door. suddenly he remembered about a candle stored in the desk drawer.

GECK...GECK...GECK..

in the midst of his busy search for candle sticks, aryo clearly heard the sound of knocking outside the house. He squinted his eyes as his hands nimbly rummaged through the contents of the drawer of his wife's legacy long searched and the sound of knocking on the door was getting louder.

"TOOKS...GECK...GEE..."

aryo was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when a candle he managed to get. as fast as lightning he reached into his stretcher to take a match.

now the situation was not as dark as before, although small but yellow light that came out from the shoots of the candle was able to illuminate the surroundings.

"TOOKS...GECK...GECK...

Aryo who only wore a thin t-shirt in an unyielding nagging slowly when it felt the knock was getting louder.

"who is this malem-malem coming to see you anyway? just disturb people! " say aryo in the heart.

GECK...GECK...GECK...

just an illustration, the living room of this house is located one straight line with the aryo room.so when opening the room door, the distance to get there is only a few steps.

The journey to the living room like having its own impression for aryo who are walking in a limb in minimal lighting.

outside the house, the rainstorm was still heavy.swept this highland area with fierce winds.

aryo walked carefully as his feet stepped on the cold floor of the living room.The small candle that now lives in half was still shrieking a bright yellow fire. but strangely the sound of the knock was no longer heard when he had reached the living room.Could it be that the prospective guest had left instead? so thought aryo.

the problem of the guest he put aside first, now he must find his beloved petromaks. Aryo eyeballs circulate in a pitch black, Shattering the membrane of darkness with a nearly dim candlelight.

as his eyes were in search of petromax lights, how shocked he was when he saw the silhouette of someone standing outside his house.

the lightning from the sky also clarified the silhouette's reflection.

aryo who was busy looking for the lights is now suddenly distracted by the presence of a white silhouette, he saw from behind the window glass with a sandblast model if the strange silhouette was as tall as an adult.

was he the one who knocked on the door? terka aryo in the midst of confusion as well...The fear that exists.

a minute and two the silhouette was still standing there, motionless and as if looking inside the house.

the increasingly curious Aryo quickly picked up the petromax that turned out to be under the living room chair.when aryo turned on the lamp, the bluish-white light emanating from the petromax immediately illuminated the surroundings.

when the lighting was enough, the twenty-eight-year-old man immediately rushed to open the entrance of his house.

KRIEEET...

A gust of wind came along with the door slightly opened.

Aryo only fell silent as his eyes glanced over the door slit, seeing who was about to visit his house.

"Hoi..who's outside" cried aryo in between the rush of rain.

but there is no law from outside the house.the situation is still overwhelmed by unnatural silence.

Feeling played with, aryo again closed the door with annoyance.but behind his sour look, at least his mind can be a little calm.

But when the man turned around, he was choked when he looked into the dimness of the house.The look of astonished face mixed with fear immediately filled the man's face.

although the lighting is inadequate, but aryo can still see clearly the figure. The smell of rotten carcass immediately spread in this room.

he could only hold his breath as the figure continued to look at him from the dark corner of the living room.

wrapped in a long white dress accompanied by a strand of hair that covered part of his pale face.The figure continued to look at aryo from behind a dim light.

" wh-who's that? " Aryo asked in a timid tone.The man ventured to approach the figure.With a bright enough lighting coming out from his petromas, he slowly walked over.

.

already half way he stepped, the cold wind crept through the skin. Through the tail of his eyes, aryo saw if the figure was increasingly drowned swallowed by the darkness of the night.

that figure is gone! leaving the middle-struck aryo with a wondering face.

aryo is only fixated in blank sight when his nose accidentally smells a smell very familiar to him-

" winter," whispered aryo slowly.

dead lights seem to still long overshadow this village.The village is being stalked by dark gripping from every corner.
