The River House

The River House
XIX. Waterfall in the middle of the night



A pair of legs settles into the dark. With a slow step, the tiny feet with clean skin that fluttered the grass in the yard next to the new house Anggun.


Highlight flashlight from the android hit the path that is slightly wet because of the drizzle that a while ago flushed the forest area. Two round eyeballs occasionally looked back, as if afraid that someone else was following them.


Andewi is tiptoeing down the yard of the minimalist house. A maroon-red book he tightly closed. Andewi now stands in front of the burning wreckage of the house. Zainul Rich Man's House.


"Hmmm, is it possible to burn with this house yes," muttered Andevi alone.


Andewi was still, not getting out of the rubble of the house by the river. There is a sinister and frightening impression, which makes the feathers bristling Andewi bristles. But that fear did not make Andevi tremble. He ignored the cold that blew his nipple on his neck.


The old red book that had been grasped tightly, now Andewi opened it slowly. He immediately opened the very back yard. The color of the paper that has yellowed with a seedy and shabby appearance, indicates the page has been opened too often.


"Gemericik water is where I'm stored. Open the curtain and find me. I will be yours, "Andevi read a line of handwritten sentences in slightly faded ink.


"What I'm looking for must be in the stream. But what does the curtain mean? Mr. Zainul, plis don't play me," Andewi snorted in annoyance. He closed the book in his hand.


Andewi scratched his head. Actually he was the one who had the idea to come visit Anggun. It turned out that his friends all agreed. Andewi did not want to waste the opportunity to solve the instructions from the book Zainul Rich Man he brought.


Initially, Andevi planned that when he reached Anggun's house, he would adventure alone along the river. But who would have thought, Erfan actually died horribly.


With Erfan's death, Andevi became less free to move alone. So, when there are gaps and opportunities Andevi immediately out of the house and down every inch of the residential area and the heritage of Zainul Rich Man.


Unfortunately until midnight, Andewi has not been able to break the sentence implied and written on the last page of the maroon-coated book. Though he has promised in his heart, tonight he must achieve his goal. Because Andewi was sure, when the police arrived he could no longer wander off.


Andewi returned his feet. This time he was standing on the river bank. The ripples of water exposed to the moonlight reflected a dazzling glittering light. The coldness felt many times covered the body of Andevi when he was near the flow of water.


"People in the house must have been looking for me. I can't stay here long without success. Can I be suspected of sorts again, "grunts Andewi annoyed.


With a slight stomp of his feet, Andewi walked towards the waterfall. Only the flashlight from HP became the only light. The darkness is really thick, even though the crescent moon looks beautiful perched behind thin black clouds.


Every now and then, the tiny feet of Andevi stumbled upon the stone. In addition to complaining, a soft sigh also came out of his red lips. The gurgling sound of the waterfall is getting clearer. Water splashes also hit the face of Andevi. Cold as ice, expel the drowsiness that actually has been shrouding the eyelids of Andevi since earlier.


Andewi's hair fluttered backwards in a strong wind. While the pool under the waterfall looks bluish colored beautiful at the same time scary. As if able to hypnotize and seduce everyone to plunge into it.


Indeed, if observed carefully, it appears that the pool under the waterfall is glowing reddish yellow. Not the reflection of moonlight, but the reflection of another light source.


Andewi then realized the light was coming from the middle of the waterfall. Andewi was stunned for a while. His mind was divided, should he admire the beauty of the rays in the water? Or should I be afraid of the strange phenomena before him?


"Open the curtain of tirta and find me. Tirta is water," muttered Andewi with a blank look.


"Don't go behind the waterfall" Andewi patted his own cheek.


There was a little doubt in his heart. There are questions and concerns in the minds of the Andevi now. What if the assumption is wrong? Or it will even make him trapped in a dangerous place, wrong he was in a nest of wild animals. Who knows, because the wilderness before the goddess now looks very thick and terrible.


"There is no time to doubt the Goddess. You are determined to find him. Because your life is now a hell of debt and receivables" said Andewi to himself. He took a deep breath.


Andewi again walked, along the edge of the waterfall. He's on the right side of the waterfall. His body was now wet with water. Coldly pierced the bone, his fingers wrinkled. His lips look blue.


The edge of the waterfall is full of slippery green moss. Andewi directed a flashlight beam at the area around his footrest. It did not take long, he managed to find a stepping stone that looked drier than the other stones. Also the moss is not so dense, indicating the stone is often stepped on.


Andewi took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. He is strengthening mentally. With a heart, Andevi set his foot. He rested on the stone in front of him. Then jump into the waterfall.


Bruusshhh


Andewi managed to break the waterfall. And it is true that the assumption of Andewi, behind the waterfall there is a niche or cave that is quite wide. Alcoves with bluish-green stone walls.


Andewi gave a glance. The niche was slightly dark, there was only a torch located in the middle. A torch that produces a reddish reflection of light in the water. There was a stone with a cloth that was gagged, seemingly serving as a bed.


The corner of Andevi's eye then caught a shabby sack lying under the rock. Half-run Andewi poured into the shabby sack. His heart was pounding, pounding. He was sure his hopes this time would be realized.


A little rough Andewi dragged the moustache sack. He brought it near the torch so he could see it clearly. There are patches of red patches that have dried on the outside of the sack. Andewi did not care, he immediately took off the rope that tied the top of the sack.


"Hi hi hi hi hi. . I finally found you! This book is not a lie, it's amazing. My debt can be paid off with all of this!" Andewi glares. His lips smiled widely. Under the dim light of the torch, greed had overpowered the brown-eyed woman's heart.
