The River House

28. Cupboard

Tia grimaced in pain, as Ellie washed the wound on her leg using alcohol. Norita took some water and pain medication. That's all they can do right now.

Denis was standing in Tia's bedroom doorway. Staring at his friend with a sharp look. There was concern in his mind when he saw Tia's condition. Denis is a bad guy, but he still has morals. 

"We should immediately take Tia to the nearest doctor or health service. His life could be threatened if it continues like this" Denis said slowly.

"Yes, I thought so too. But from then on she was determined to stay here until tomorrow" Ellie sighed.

"Lha how, because the Zainul also did not play his promise. Thank you 200 million cuy" Norita chimed in.

"Damn. At a time like this, we're separated and moving on our own" Denis grumbled.

"Aren't you also the one who approved of the idea of each of us moving. So every time you make a decision, think carefully, "Ellie sneered.

Denis didn't reply to Ellie. It is true, he was also the one who approved the proposal from Hendra to move on his own. A decision he regrets at the moment.

"alright. I want to find Hendra and Bayu. It takes men to get Tia out of the woods. Under such circumstances, Tia had to be stretchered off" Denis said.

"Hey, you want to leave me alone?" Norita protested.

"You're not alone Norii, you're the same Ellie," Denis felt a little irritated by Norita's spoiled attitude in the current situation. 

"I want to come along" Norita whined.

"If you come, it's dangerous. By myself I can move more freely," Denis reasoned.

"But, what if our guess is correct? Was he killed by someone? It's too dangerous for you to wander around alone" Norita continued whining. He was so worried about Denis. Although what they have just been through is just a short date, Norita is actually really hooked on Denis.

"Well, even if Dipta was murdered, my suspicion was only on one person, Mella. And if I meet Mella or she tries to attack me, it's easy for me to snuggle her up, calm down" Denis clenched his right hand. Denis is quite confident in his martial skills.

"I don't know what kind of relationship you had in this house. But please have a debate, and quickly do what you plan to do Denis," Ellie interjected. He was irritated by the conversations and scenes like soap operas that were happening before his eyes. Tia looks weaker.

"Remember, you're not going anywhere. Stay in this room. Take care of Tia, and I'll be right back, '" Denis said with emphasis. 

Denis immediately went out of the room, half-running him down the stairs. Norita looked at him with anxious feelings. He had a bad premonition that was hard to explain in his heart.

"Nori, I thought you were married. It is not allowed CLBK or hang out with schoolmates first" Ellie said shortly after Denis left.

"Originally you know, I'm in the process of separation. Next week is my verdict hearing" Norita replied indifferently.

"I'm sorry I didn't want to interfere. But everyone knows who Denis is. Playboy cachet peacock, famous from High School era until now. Isn't it with your failure to establish a household that now should make you more selective in determining partners?" Ellie. As usual, he said sharply and piercingly.

"Ha ha ha, instead of Ellie. With my current failure I finally realized, that nothing is eternal in this world. Even the heart, about love. Love has its time, one day we will be bored. For what we selectively choose a partner, however, the sound can also be guessed. Humans will get bored and look for new things to overcome their boredom. It's always like that" Norita smiled wryly.

"As far as you are Nori. I'm just reminding you," Ellie sighed. He realized he could not impose a principle and view of life on others. Because basically everyone lives their own life.

"By the way, I thought of something, by the way" Norita switched the conversation.

"What's that?" Ellie asked.

"Created died in the same way as when he bullied Zainul long ago. A pandan steamed cake gagged in her throat," Norita said, recalling her thoughts.

"Couldn't Yodi be dead right now, the same way he used to work with Zainul?"

Ellie was silent for a moment, remembering what Yodi had done to Zainul a long time ago.

"Didn't Yodi lock Zainul in a closet in a school shed all day?" Norita asked, looking at Ellie who was still silent in silence.

"Yes, I remember that incident. And if so, then it is likely that Yodi is still inside this house," Ellie muttered, then stood up from her seat.

"Where are you going?" Ask Norita.

"To the guest room," said Ellie, her voice shaking.

"I'm coming. I don't want to be here alone" Pinta Norita.

Ellie thought for a moment while looking at Tia who was sleeping limp. Tia's eyes were closed but sweat still continued to trickle down her forehead and temples.

"alright. We lock this room from the outside. I don't have enough guts to go to the guest room by myself anyway" Ellie made up her mind.

Afterwards, Ellie and Norita came out of the room. Not to forget Ellie locked Tia's room from the outside. Lock him in his pants pocket.

Ellie and Norita walked down the stairs slowly. The atmosphere of the house is really quiet and quiet. Mak Ijah did not feel where his existence was. The old woman had never been seen on her nose unless the meal hour came. 

"I just realized now, this house is a terrible aura. Even though this morning I was in front of the TV alone did not feel anything," said Norita holding Ellie's hand. Meanwhile, Ellie was silent and did not say.

The two women had arrived in front of the guest room, where Yodi had last been seen. A little hesitant Ellie turned the doorknob. 

Kriieett

The sound of the bedroom door creaking broke the silence. Ellie's hair bristled for a moment. He gulped repeatedly because his throat felt dry. Cold sweat also washed down his face. Norita clasped Ellie's arm.

After a while the door opened, there was a smell of water from inside the room. The smell of blood mixed with sickening perfume. Makes the stomach feel stirred. 

"Suckers! What's this smell?" Norita covered her tiny nose.

Ellie kept quiet. From the front door, dozens or even hundreds of green flies with large sizes were crowding the wooden cabinets located in the corner of the room next to the open window.

"Nori, if my guess is correct we'll see something terrible. I hope you're ready and don't yell at anything we'll see. We can just look at it and go back to Tia's room. Youunderstand?" Ellie whispers. His voice sounded soft and trembling.

Norita nodded in agreement. Slowly the two people entered the guest room. The smell of water getting stuck in the nose. Plus the unbearable stench became as they got closer to the wooden cabinet in the room.

Ellie repeatedly braced her heart trying hard, trying hard to defeat her fear. His hands clenched tightly, even though both of his legs felt powerless. 

Finally they arrived in front of the closet. Green flies seemed to gather, scrambling to find a gap to be able to get into the closet. The buzzing sound and the countless numbers made anyone goosebumps in disgust.

Ellie with her determination, pulled the doorknob of the closet slowly. He opened it and saw what was in the closet. And it turns out his guess was right.
