...NIGHTMARE 12'S...
...Behind The Words of The Last Room...
The sun changed the moon, the light changed the dark, and the day changed the night. The sky that had stopped crying again cried a little, as if to mourn the loss of the life of a Young Miss named Novi Rahayu.
Friends or friends left behind can only cry and reflect on it.
Now, a loved one of their own was completely buried in the damp, wet ground just above the green hill behind the Villa.
The sound of deep crying and regret enveloped a group of black-clothed people standing right in front of a Cross-shaped headstone. Each of them gave a white rose – both from friends and servants – which was placed under the tombstone of the Cross.
After mourning, they went down the hill to return to the villa. Descendants that can be said to be quite steep with grass quite high like weeds that block their way through carefully.
Five more minutes had been taken to get to the Long Less Dream Forest Village area. A small drizzle soaked a little of their clothes, thanking them for the rain that hit only a drizzle, not a heavy rain. If it hit them heavy rain, it is certain that the land on the hill behind the Villa must be very slippery and slow their journey home because they have to be extra careful.
At the count of ten minutes, they finally arrived inside the comfortable Villa. Coinciding with their arrival in the Villa, the rain returned to a heavy rain accompanied by a strong wind.
With no interest in opening the conversation, the seven of them, - ngh, meaning the six of them were sitting silent and silent in the row of the sofa in the last room.
They could see their gazes dim and felt very, very sorry for not being able to look after one of their friends.
One can't, let alone two or six?
Sandi clenched her hands that were on her thighs so tightly that her hands turned red, gritted her teeth, and instantly she...
"ARRHGGGHHHH!"
His two clenched hands moved towards his head and grabbed and pulled his hair tightly, and he said in a voice that almost shouted, "Why? Why protect a friend you can't, San? You moron! What is genius? Your brain alone can't be used to save one of your friends!"
Instantly the atmosphere in the last room was getting hotter.
Seeing Passi – who was already very depressed high level heavy –yelling and talking to himself like crazy, Joints who were next to him tried to calm him down.
Joints holding both shoulders Sandi. "Calm down, San! Not only are you feeling sorry, but we are too!" Say Joints, it is very clear here the emotion of the Joints out of control.
"Don't I tell you, we have to go home!" Kurnia reminded her words while they were still inside the Forest.
Sandi glanced at Kurnia through the tail of her eyes. "We're back at the Villa now, so let alone, huh?" The words thrown by Sandi are as effective as challenging Kurnia.
Kurnia who heard his tone that sounded nyolot, her emotions were surging up. "How can you relax a little no, huh? Anyway, I mean to go home at that time 'we all go back to our own homes', instead of going back to this Villa!"
"Huh? Back to the house? Are you crazy, Kur? Outside of the storm, how can we go home? We could die in the middle of the forest from being lost by the thick fog!" Now Sandi's gaze was entirely on Kurnia.
Kurnia looked down at Sandi. "Heh, crazy? Isn't that crazy right now the Young Master, huh?"
Kurnia's words made Sandi growled. "Kurnia! You.." shouted Sandi while standing from her sitting position.
Seeing the action of Sandi makes Kurnia's emotions more provoked. "What's? Am I wrong to propose to go home to my friends to keep them safe?"
Rizal who had been silent since –just heard their bacot which was getting to be –finally began to grow furious and impatient. "CAN YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, HUH? YOUR TREATMENT CAN ONLY ADD TO THE PROBLEM HERE, YOU KNOW?" The breath of Rizal was beheaded for having expended all his strength to shout to rebuke his two friends.
Joints, Kurnia, and Sandi who heard Rizal's cry were made dumbstruck and dumbfounded by him.
Fitri who heard Rizal's scream that echoed throughout the last room could only be frightened to hear his loud scream.
While Jihan who was next to Rizal –and was among the most satiated got her shout, could only stroke Rizal's upper left arm trying to calm her emotions to normal again.
"Not being an adult, but acting like a child!" added Rizal with a voice that was already lower compared to the previous one.
Kurnia and Sandi who were briefly lectured by Rizal finally sat back down and relaxed as usual.
A few seconds later Rizal remembered something. "While I was in the tent with Jihan, I heard a faint-hearted lash," Pause for a moment. "Kurnia was like saying she saw something while you were still in the forest... Is that true, Kur?"
The yellow-haired man immediately nodded his head and said, "Right, Zal! It was like seeing a white shadow pass from one tree to another!" His eyes looked very serious.
"Don't I tell you, Kur? Maybe you just saw it wrong," said Sendi trying to maintain his stance.
"Heh, you know that if you weren't the one who proposed us to stay in the woods maybe it wouldn't be like this." said Sandi to Jendi.
Joints still mixed up after hearing Sandi's sentence offended her and she tried to avoid, "If we don't propose a stay, we probably won't experience misleading memories like this."
Kurnia was also offended. "Just kid, you think it's all my fault? After all, the most suspicious was Sandi," Kurnia threw her gaze in the other direction. "He's the one with the most close ties to the waiters here."
That second also the gazes of all the pairs of eyes that were in the room were staring towards Sandi.
Being stared at like that made Sandi feel awkward. "W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?" Sandi suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Don't tell me you're accusing me of being Novi's killer, that's impossible!"
"We're not accusing you of killing Novi, San," Jihan murmured.
Fitri swallowed his saliva for a moment. "I-it's... Actually while in the Forest looking for Novi, I-I also saw an invisible shadow, "His head tried to remember the 'it' incident clearly. "But what I see is black."
Silent. All were silent in their personal thoughts.
The joint breathed slowly. "Hhh... You all believe in what-the-they-look at that?" Smiling joints underestimated. "Silly story."
Kurnia growling. A sense of impatience towards one of his friends made him stand up again and pull the collar of Joints shirt, so Joints jerked forward. "What did you say? You're just a fool who doesn't understand other people's feelings!"
Unable to master his emotions, he also stood up to serve Kurnia's emotions that burst out. "Kok being a sewot? Heh, if not a fool who saw such a thing, who else..." Joints smiled cunningly, the look in his eyes he turned to the other corner of the room. "A fool would still be a fool."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"A fool would still be a fool."
Instantly Kurnia's fist was about to land on the surface of Joints' facial skin, but Sandi's hands were more deft than her and managed to hold back what her 'yellow factory' friend was going to do.
"What are you gonna do, hm? Want to punch me? Just tonjok! It's true 'that you're 'bo-doh'!"
"So your mouth, Sen! What you said couldn't solve this problem!" Sandi turned her face towards Kurnia. "You too, Kur! Can't you solve this problem without using violence?"
"Why am I wrong too? I'm just not happy being told that! If you were me, you'd be patient with someone like him!" Kurnia's index finger was pointing right in front of Joints' face.
Joints squealing. "But it's true, isn't it that you're a fool? A smart person would definitely not believe such a thing!"
Kurnia gritted her teeth. "KAU–"
"SILENCE!"
Hearing the snapping of Rizal who reappeared, made the three men who were busy arguing become silent a thousand languages.
Rizal sighed. "Can you shut up? Come on, if you use emotions, Novi's death case will unexpectedly not be finished," Iris onyx looked at the three male friends of her group. "you understand?"
All fell silent again and were swept away in their own hypotheses.
.......
...+++~Lost~++...
.......
In the morning, they - who - were left - can release Novi's departure sincerely and return to activities like students who enjoy a long vacation.
Waking up in the morning, exercising, cleaning up, having breakfast, and having a conversation they passed with smiles, jokes, and laughter perfectly painted on each of their faces. Without feeling burdened in the least, of course.
Relaxing in the last room.
"Hey! Oi! Oi! Everybody!" exclaim Jendi while going down the stairs from the second floor to the first floor of the villa.
"Can't you relax a little, Sen? Your voice almost broke my eardrum," Kurnia moved away her hand that had been used to cover her ears reflexively.
Jihan who heard the cry of Jendi earlier also stopped the clang of the piano she played. "What's up, Sen? You seem to be very excited,"
"You know? Behind this villa is a luxurious swimming pool?"
"Huh?" the response is all compact coupled with a little look of wonder on their faces.
Seeing the reaction of his friends, Jendi also felt surprised and confused. "So you don't know yet?"
As they all shook their heads. Except Rizal.
A wide smile expands on the thin lips of the Joints. "That means I'm the first one to see and find it, huh?" His feet, which had been silent, now moved to the sofa where his friends were, except for Jihan, he was still sitting on the piano chair of the villa.
Fitri swallowed his saliva. "Where do you know that pool from?" fitri said carefully for fear of offending his friend.
The Head of the Joint turned towards Fitri. "From the back porch on the second floor."
"Huh? But when Novi and I, when he was alive, came up to you painting a few days ago before going hiking, I didn't see a swimming pool down below" Fitri told Joints, and also heard by others.
The smile of the sumringah Joints turned into an awkward smile. "Maybe you just don't see it, Fit... I just saw it, really," Feeling bad to be stared at by all his friends, he tried to prove it. "How about we see that pool right now? Hm?"
"Hhh.. alright, let's take a look at the pond now," Sandi hurried to her feet followed by the others.
Before they went any further, Joints spoke, "Hmm... How about we make a bet too, agree?" share Joints with others.
Kurnia's ears who heard the Joints challenge made her spirit rise again. "Heh, can you, who's afraid?" kurnia replied enthusiastically, while the others looked at Kurnia with unexpected gazes.
"If the pool is there, you'll have to swim with me right then and there,"
"If the pool doesn't exist, you'll have to be our errand boy for three days in a row." Kurnia said.
Hearing Kurnia's statement which means serving the Joints bet, made them all look at Kurnia with deathglare's gaze. Rizal's gaze was the sharpest.
After saying the – serapah vow more precisely only Kurnia and Joints – regarding this useless bet, they also stepped foot in a relaxed tempo, and in the end these six students arrived at the backyard of the villa.
The result of the bet is...
The swimming pool really exists. Believe it or not.
Kurnia who does not believe in the fact that he lost a bet from Joints can only gap as wide as to see the result of their bet. While Jendi who felt happy and proud, laughed as loud as she saw the look of Kurnia who was unusually ugly.
"Hows it? I don't think you're all friends who break their promises to their best friend, are you?" There was the sound of laughter being restrained from within the Joints throat.
With resignation, Kurnia turned her face towards her closest friend, Rizal, and was accompanied by a grin of mercy. "Hehehe.pardon yes, form a sign piece, which means asking for peace to the Young Master. And also a sign that he has entered a three-standby state.
But destiny doesn't say that. Rizal even sharpened his eyes towards Kurnia as if saying, 'Review you, Kur. you will know the consequences!'. Might as well.
Unable to bear the deadly gaze from Rizal, Kurnia tried to dodge his lose-of-bet statement. "Ah, oh yes, I just remembered that I still have work to do now, so, bye!"
As much as she could, Kurnia tried to escape from her other friends, but fate again did not say so. As he was about to escape, Kurnia's back shirt was pulled by Joints and without feeling the slightest sin, he immediately pushed Kurnia towards the pool, and...
BYUURRS!
"Fuwahh! You're crazy, Sen! You don't think about pe–" Kurnia's brain twists for a second. "Eh, wait, the water is not cold.the water is warm!" He drowned his whole body once more to make sure what he was feeling, was true or not.
While the others just sweatdrop in place to see the behavior of Kurnia along with his slow brain.
Not long after, Kurnia returned to the surface. "Right, the water's not cold! Come on, you guys swim too! It was fun, you know!" It seems that this fabulous blonde has forgotten that he lost the bet and the person who was entitled to take a swim for the first time was Joints. But, yeah, that's it.
Joints and Rizal also looked at each other face to face and threw a look towards Sandi who was evaporating wide. In their minds also appeared the same sneaky idea and shoulder to shoulder to shoulder to lift the Password, Joint part of the foot and Rizal part of the hand.
"Wo-woi! What are you guys gonna do? Put me down, quick!"
"No way!" say Joints and Passwords together. It turns out that behind the cool look of Rizal, he can also insult others.
Once more. One, Two, Three!
BYURR!
"Haha! You know what, San? Your current looks are so ugly!" teasing Kurnia without thinking about other people's feelings.
"What did you say?" sandi geram said.
"Eh, Mmm, it's okay, you look so cool now, like a famous shampoo star!" Kurnia gave her thumbs full of confidence.
Without realizing it, the words he should have used as evasive weapons turned out to react into a alarm clock in the ears of the devil who was sleeping soundly. And at that time Kurnia's position was in a state of two alert.
Sandi smiled sincerely in front of one of her best friends. "Hmm.. good thing we're friends huh, Kur. try otherwise I don't know what you're going to turn into now."
"Hehehe.. peace, boss! Okay?" And again, Kurnia's hand formed a sign called a piece in front of her other friend.
When Rizal was looking at the silly scene before his eyes, Jendi stole the time that was next to Rizal, now right behind Rizal.
And for the third time. One, two, three!
BYURR!
There was the sound of laughter from all his friends. This is his first time being humiliated by friends and in front of his friends. But, still his cool and stoic look never separated from a Rizal, let alone coupled with the effect of wet and running water from the tip of the hair to his perfect body. Except for her aura that has turned pitch black and her eyes stare at the growls of her friends –except the – women who laugh at her.
"Patience, man! We're having fun here, aren't we?" Sandi tried to calm down Rizal's almost bursting emotions.
Being advised by Sandi like that made Rizal sigh long and relax again as usual.
The joint turned its face back towards the two female friends who were tense at a high level seen by Joints like that.
"A-ano, Sen, don't tell me you're– KYAAA!" The word Fitri was cut because Joints that had carried it ala bridal style and throw it into the pool.
BYURR!
"S-sen, you almost made me hang!" exclaim Fitri who was completely wet because it was thrown without cue by Joints. Really too.
Jendi let out her flagship smile and turned her head towards the only remaining participant in the 'throw-throwing into the Joints' swimming pool'. Yeah, nothing else, nothing, and nothing wrong... Aulia Jihan.
"Since you are the remaining participant, I offer you a special choice." The smile of the joint widened. "First, do you want me to throw it in the pool or... Second, do you want to throw yourself in the pool?"
Jihan who had been trembling a little at the smile of Joints that seemed to be about to eat Jihan, finally decided the best path for herself. "I-I chose to throw myself into the pool, huh?" Her emerald iris weld to Joints' onyx.
Looking at Jihan's eyes, Joints could only shrug both shoulders. "Whatever, this is your choice."
Slowly, Jihan stepped her feet towards the edge of the pool. Leaving only a few more footsteps, Jendi held Jihan from behind and together jumped towards the pool.
BYYUUUURR!
"FUWAAAHH! Sen, you're crazy! You almost got me hanging, you know!" jihan's protesting about what Joints did to him, just now.
"Hahaha.calm down, Ji! I'm just kidding, aren't I friends?" ask Joints to others, and only answered a nod and a response 'Hn' that you all know whose owner answers.
"Well, did I tell you that swimming is all fun, right?" kurnia said without feeling any guilt.
Know 'do you? That the words of Kurnia had made everyone –ralat, all his male friends looked at Kurnia very sharply with deathglare being-so. And it can be ascertained, that his remarks made his position change and his condition rose to a higher level, namely the standby one.
With the three of them –Sendi, Rizal, and Sandi –closer to Kurnia. Still with deathglare on each of their faces.
"Ah, Yes... What's up, huh? I was wrong to talk, right? Hehehe... apologize again, huh? YOOOOOO!"
Without hesitation, the three of them drowned Kurnia's head until many air balloons came out of his nose and mouth because they were drowned without warning and beyond his expectations. It's stupid.
Jokes, laughter, and silly actions also occur in this pool. They had been in the water for two hours.
"Hey guys, I'm done first, yeah!" joked Sandi in the midst of their happiness.
"Eh? Wh why? 'we're going to be as excited as we are!" Kurnia looks disappointed by the words thrown by Sandi.
"Let's go, Kur. maybe he can't anymore" Sendi told Kurnia not to ban his exhausted friend.
"Hm, me and Fitri have also been tired of playing in the water all this time constantly," Jihan's head turned towards Fitri. "really, Fit?"
"I-yes," This one girl's body seemed to tremble, shivering, as it tried to withstand the gust of cold wind that blew through her wet clothes.
Looking at Fitri who was cold, Kurnia felt pity in her heart."Well, if you want to be happy, yes. please!" Whether there was a feeling like what, suddenly Kurnia so spoke a little stuttered.
'What's wrong with me?' thought Kurnia in heart.
Sandi took a long breath. "Then we go up first." Both hands he used to support his body that is heavy enough to be able to climb to the edge of the pool.
Sandi was followed by Fitri, Jihan, and... Rizal's?
"W-wo-woo, Zal!" call Kurnia in wonder. While Jihan, Fitri, and Sandi continue to walk away from the pool leaving Rizal and Kurnia who are arguing behind.
The head of the owner of raven hair also saw the figure of his friend jabrik yellow from behind his shoulder. "Hn?"
"Do you ride too?"
"Why indeed? Can't you?" Rizal's gaze sharpened so as to make Kurnia's guts to prevent Rizal from shrinking drastically. Making Kurnia think about the terrible things Rizal did to her while in the forest some time ago.
Kurnia let out a long sigh, following what Sandi did earlier. "If you too please, me too!"
"Why? If you still want to play water, then just play." asked Rizal with a flat and cold gaze.
"Because..." One of Kurnia's hands moved to embrace the stoic-looking neck of her playmate. "Because my chicken butt friend this one wants to be the end of his activities!"
One thing that comes to mind Rizal now will be what he will do, namely...
BLEED IT!
"What did you do to me, Kur? Know it? I'm still sane, not like you!" babble Rizal about what Kurnia did to him.
As usual, Kurnia responds to Rizal's treatment to him with a whimper of his flagship. "Hehehe... It's okay, isn't it?"
Seeing Kurnia who had already been hit by him still kept smiling like that made Rizal feel a little sorry for him. "Hhh... It's up to you, "So, Rizal went up to the edge of the pool followed by Kurnia beside him.
Before they set foot, Kurnia turned her face towards Joints that were still swimming in the pool. "Sen, how long are you going to keep swimming?"
Faintly hearing Kurnia's voice in the water, he immediately took a standing position. "Zal, what time is it?"
His onyx eyes looked at his water resistant watch that was still hanging on his left arm. "Four hours pass." His head returned to Joints face.
"Then I want to swim for a little while."
"You sure?" ask Kurnia.
"Sure, why?"
"No, it's just that I feel bad" her sapphire iris looked at the street under her feet. His mind brought him into negative conjecture.
Joints can only smile as they usually see Kurnia like that. "It's okay, nothing's gonna happen, besides I'm a man!"
A smile spread on his lips. "OK! me and Rizal go first, huh? Bye!"
"Bye!" answer Joints accompanied by a wave of the hand.
"Huh? Who said I'd walk side by side with you?" cela Rizal's.
"Don't do it, Zal. fellow friends should be with each other!"
"accompanied? Too little, too,"
"Just walk!"
"I don't want to! You go first,"
"No, we have to go side by side!"
"If you don't want to, you already do!"
"Zal, don't run you, wait for me!"
And at that moment they ran away from the pool, where Joints were being tweaked and saw their chase overturned. Understand I mean? Just this time a Rizal was chased by a Kurnia. What's wrong with this world? Is the world turned upside down?
After Kurnia and Rizal left, Jendi also resumed her swimming activities. Nimble, he swam using some style that he had learned since childhood, continuing to swim from the end to the edge of the pool.
Some time later, his body felt quite tired. He decided to pull over and go up to the edge of the pool. Slowly but surely, he was able to stand successfully on land. He closed his eyes for a moment and regulated his breathing as well and as normally as possible. After which, he immediately walked over little by little and opened his eyes slowly.
DEG!
The Joints eyes were wide open, the heart was beating very fast, the breath was hunting. "W-what are you gonna do with that thing?"
His feet slowly took a step back –in other words, taking a swing to escape. "Thu-back off! Don't come any closer! You-you're crazy, aren't you?" Joints eyes focused on what was in the hands of the opponent now. "What's the saw for, huh?"
All the things thrown by him were not answered or responded to in the slightest. Instead of making 'something' in front of him that is daunted, but instead make 'something' that more and more so-so.
"Why are you smiling like that? Not funny, you know! Getaway!"
Tension was running through every body now, coupled with the cold mountain breeze and wet clothes then.
"YYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
With a spontaneous movement, Joints turned their bodies, about to escape. Save yourself. But, it seems that God does not want that.
Looks like, our joint this one forgot its standing position right now.
As his legs moved to turn his back, he slipped the water that was where he was now standing. Don't you remember, Sen? You just got out of the pool.
THE CRUTCHES!
"YARRGHHH!"
In one second, the joint that is attached between the bones of the sole of the foot and the forearm of the lower leg is not strong to keep its job as a joint. As a result, the two bones are shifted to each other. Her legs were not as normal a moment ago.
A TAP! A TAP! A TAP!
The feathers of the joint back on its feet. The feeling of pain he felt had already been replaced with a feeling of overwhelming fear that enveloped his entire body just now.
"To-Please, I still don't want to die... I'm sorry if I had anything wrong with you, sorry, sorry! sorry!"
But it seems, his opponent this time is an aggressive person. 'He' continued to step his feet towards Joints that were several meters in front of him. Continue and continue to reduce the distance between them.
The joint that saw 'he' kept walking towards him through the onyx iris that was now clear by his tears, adding to the fear within him.
"Don't come any closer! STAY AWAY!"
Again, not even a little by him.
"Please..."
It was not the compassion he had, but a humbling stare and a broad smile that meant a high, high murderous cunning and lust.
Not thinking any longer, Joints forced his body to stand on one normal leg which resulted in him walking with limping. The outcome? His legs - again – was slid by the water that had just made him imperfect. Unexpectedly, the splash of water where he slipped carried his entire body towards the swimming pool that was right in front of him, and...
TWOGH!
His head hit the edge of the edge of the pool with a very loud bang. Liquid red and smelling of rusty iron seeped out of his head which was crowned with black hair, right in the back of his brain.
BYUURRS!
The body that was still a little conscious was blown into a pond filled with 1.5 meters of water. Clear and warm water was mixed with fresh blood coming out of his leaking head.
The pool is clear blue and can calm the heart, mind, and soul of a person if he sees it, instantly turned into a sea of red blood and a sharp rancid smell urged into the sense of smell of everyone who was around him.
Such a state of Joints makes his 'Fight play' must feel happy. It was certain that now, even a sly and wide smile was expanding on her thin lips. With a stifled laugh, 'he' stepped his feet away from Joints along with his 'red' pool.
Joints Body.
His body was there, but not his soul.

Somewhere else. Inside the last room. Kurnia, Rizal, Jihan, Sandi, and Fitri had been waiting for the presence of his friend, Jendi, who had not come to see them all until this moment. Their feelings began to be beset by anxiety and worry, clearly visible on their faces.
Kurnia seemed to be walking back and forth in the same place, behind the sofa. "Why hasn't Joints come yet, huh? Is he–"
"Wush! Don't think negatively, Kur! The joint must be fine!" jihan said to Kurnia, because Kurnia felt negative thinking.
"What the hell, ji! 'I'm not done talking! I mean, I mean, 'is he okay?', that's the follow-up." Kurnia puts on a seductive look to Jihan. "Don't.. You're the one who thinks negatively about Joints, huh? Hm..."
Kurnia's full-smile-meaning able to make Jihan's face red. "What the hell, you! Bu-not.I mean...uh... ARGHH!" why can I react like this?, he continued in his heart.
Seeing the two of them like that, Rizal diverted their conversation. "It has. How about we just catch up with him now, hn?"
"I-good idea, Zal!" fitri said, with the meaning of praising the action of advice from Rizal.
"Yes, let's check into the pool, maybe he's still there." take Sandi to the others, and answered a nod from each head.
With each foot on each floor a different distance, they walked half-running along with a sense of anxiety in their hearts and minds.
Walk, walk, and keep walking. Almost a minute they walked down the path to the pool, and finally they saw the pool. An unpleasant feeling arose after they arrived there, away from the pool, when they smelled rust and rancid in their noses.
Even the unpleasant feeling changed with high curiosity. Slowly they walked closer to the edge of the pool, and...
"YYYAAAA!"
The women were screaming hysterically. The men widened their eyes as wide as possible. Their mouths and tongues could say nothing more. Stiff. Clamant. A thousand languages blind.
Their heart and lungs stop working, do not contract or relax. Stop over. Only that one word could describe their entire body system right now. As soon as their shock when they see friends –eh means their friends have bathed in blood in the pool villa right before their eyes.
Fitri and Jihan, all they can do is cry while hugging to dampen the hysterical and shock they both feel at this time. Fear hit their feelings. So scared.
Sandi was so shocked to see the lifeless Joints and her life ended tragically as well as completely ineffective. Very ineffective. Unable to see the fate of Joints death, one of the closest friends to him, he fell down, rather kneeling where he stood.
Rizal placed a fist right in front of his forehead. His eyes closed, no, but intentional by the owner of the onyx eye to be closed, very closed to the mucul folds caused by his eyes. His mouth seemed to be hurting itself. Feeling guilty.
While Kurnia, he was busy putting on a look of shock ala himself. His eyes were wide open, his mouth slightly open. Blanks. His brain did not think a single word, or perhaps it had never thought of anything. No special reaction happened to him. There aren't.
The shrill screams that Jihan and Fitri made made the servants and the butler was also agitated to approach the origin of the screams came, and...
"YYYYYYY! What's the matter?"
"C-Quick get that body out of the pool!"
"Yes, Sir!"
The servants immediately lifted Jendi's 'no man's body, put it on the mainland – at a glance, the companions left behind saw Joints face for the last time before in the end the servants covered the entire Joints body with the black suits they were wearing.
Rizal who felt regret for leaving Joints alone in the pool glanced one by one at the servants around him. There is a peculiarity that he felt when he saw the look on the face of the butler, Deni. It looks like I'm thinking about something. Uneasily. Fearful.
Feeling strange with the peculiarity, Rizal clenched his hands with all his might and moved his feet firmly towards Deni. His hand swiftly grabbed the front collar of the butler's shirt.
"WHAT ARE YOU HIDING, HUH? ANSWER, ASSHOLE!" Rizal's emotions peaked, his current feelings were mixed. Can't be guessed by anyone else. Not even himself.
"A-A-I..."
BUAGHS!
A prize in the form of a successful hard blow made Deni's pale white left cheek become bruised instantly. The sound of the resulting punch makes all the 'human children' around them reflex their bodies to see what happens so that it can make such a sound.
Rizal's emotions had now turned into a great rage. His eyes were no longer black, no longer an onyx gemstone that opened the hearts of anyone who saw it. But now, his irises have turned red.
Sharp look. Very incisive. So that it is able to make Deni emit cold sweat that flows on his temple.
"A-Ma-Sorry, Young Master." Deni stammered.
"Zal, what's going on?" yelling Sandi while approaching Rizal followed by his other friends, so now Rizal is surrounded by his friends.
"He!" Rizal's index finger was pointing right in front of Deni's eyes. His eyes were still in a burning reddish color. "You, there's got to be something you're hiding, right? Answer!"
The words that Rizal said made his other friend widen his eyes.
"Oi, do you know where he's wrong? Not that he's been–"
"I saw the look on his face," Rizal sharpened his vision to Deni. "the look of his face looks like restless and scared." Iris her eyes were more intensely staring at Deni. "In other words, it was like there was something hidden by him, in his mind."
Jihan who already knew Rizal's advantages with her eyes from childhood turned her head towards someone Rizal accused of hiding 'something' things. "Are you really hiding something important from us?"
Feeling the aura of tension in the place getting directed towards the negative corner, Zaki, one of the servants who was there took the initiative to try to cool the ongoing tension. "Excuse me, gentlemen...What if you were to talk about this while sitting down and enjoying a cup of warm tea in the last room?"
"L-yes, Zal..it is better to talk about this matter well without any fights with each other" said Fitri in support of the proposal suggested by Zaki.
"OK.. let's all head to the last room now!" said one of the other servants named Rizki.
.......
...+++~Lost~++...
.......
A few minutes they used to calm their minds. Several cups of tea were served on the table in front of them. Every now and then they sipped the fragrant tea leaves that could soothe their unstable souls and shock, and sipped their warm tea little by little. The hot steam produced by the warm tea they use to warm their hands that cool again because the rain has fallen heavily out there.
"So" Rizal's voice broke the silence. "What are you hiding?" Rizal's eyes can indeed read and know a person's feelings and aura, but can not see the future or the past of someone who has eyes with him. That is the weakness of his eyes.
"I'll tell you, but..." Deni tried to pick the right words in his head. "Can't you change the shape of your iris?"
"Hoh, sure."
Instantly, Rizal's iris changed into his onyx jewel iris again.
Looking at Rizal's changed eyes, Deni sighed softly. "Well, this is a secret that I deliberately buried deeply for decades, I did not think this 'thing' would come to the surface because of the seven young people who–"
"To the point." interrupted Rizal briefly. While the others –the servants and his four companions –waiting for the continuation of Deni carefully.
Deni clenched his fist, closed his eyes, regulated his emotions, and prepared himself for the reality. "This was the case twenty-three years ago,"
The tension from the listeners can be felt by Rizal. However, his eyes and ears remained focused on Deni and all his words.

Didn't I tell 'Nightmare 3'?
I once said in the closing sentence 'Nightmare 3' that:
First sentence: What happened in the last room?
Second sentence: It seems that the last room has a certain meaning….
And if you who read assume that the sentences I write are just ordinary sentences that have no meaning...
It's certain, you got a BIG ZERO from me.
And. it's the result of your response being BIG WRONG.
Perfect blend, right?
The value corresponds to the answer you fill in the 'sheet of answer papers' in your mind.
Ah, and one more...
Do you remember the sacred words that every male character in this 'Lost In Nightmare' has ever spoken?
Always remember this sentence!
'something interesting' will happen here.'
Perhaps. that sentence will be answered soon in this 'Lost In Nightmare' story.
So... Which one will you choose? Human-related homicides, or ghosts?
