The Road to the Devil

16. chapter 16

Today the village of Ilir Sebrang accompanied the funeral of Mr. RT Nias' daughter who was found dead in the bamboo forest, sadness enveloped the funeral atmosphere haru and the sorrow felt so thick and dense when the funeral took place, the tears of a mother constantly flow to see her daughter who is already in her final resting place.

The funeral was held in the afternoon exactly two days after Nias' body was found, Ms. RT did not want her child buried quickly she wanted Nias to stay longer at home, he said, but it will delay the funeral of the princess so inevitably the funeral must be done immediately.

"Think yes Nias will end like this" said the mother behind after the prayer process was completed

"This is the second time our village girl died tragically, do not our village is haunted ya" said another

Rianti and Girl do not want to miss this funeral process, he also has a daughter in his house so it feels so sad when he sees the daughter of Bu RT must die in such a way.

Rianti's ears were so sharp he heard a speech from his mother who suspected that death in this village was a strange and tragic thing.

"Mr.." call the girl.

Rianti turned to Girl , the woman had since been watching the words of the women behind him who were talking about this. Rianti's face looked somewhat anxious.

"Gadis tau, mbak must have been horrified by the mother's words right" he whispered staring at Rianti

"Mbak is afraid, if it is true this haunted village should we move immediately before another catastrophe" he said anxiously

"Bak don't listen to their words, we should say goodbye to Mr. RT first after that we talk again" suggested Girl

Rianti nodded as she agreed to the advice of the Girl, continued with those who were valiant and gave a sense of condolence to the passing of their daughter. Rianti hugged Bu RT and calmed her if her daughter now had a beautiful place up there. Others began to leave the cemetery.

Rianti and Girl walk away from TPA her anxiety can not be covered, it is clear if her face shows tremendous fear especially after various oddities that occur in her home and family that they experience themselves.

"Mbak ..." call Girl paused for a moment waiting for Rianti who was left behind, I don't know what she was thinking so much that she didn't focus on her footsteps.

"Mbak should not think about it, girl believes this is just a citizen issue"

"But Dis, there are already two victims who died tragically and two of them are still girls at an early age" he grumbled

His mind is increasingly confused with the issue of citizen issues regarding the devil and the casualties of village girl victims, the village girl, Rianti unintentionally turned towards the big tree at the end right in front of the TPA entrance his gaze was so sharp his eyeballs were perfectly enlarged. The girl noticed the look on Rianti's face which kept looking at the big tree, The curious girl then came to see it.

"What the hell is it?" ask her curiously

Rianti did not answer the question of Girl , he suddenly left without speaking any view still fixed on the big tree . The girl called Rianti twice but she never stopped or answered him.

"Mbak Rianti is going where the hell,, Mbakk." he shouted.

The girl started to catch up to him but suddenly arrived at her prevented by Maya who was somehow from which direction????. She suddenly appeared like a demon and immediately stopped the steps of the girl who was about to catch up with Rianti.

Girl surprised by his arrival, he suddenly got sprayed by Maya, Maya did not even stop scolding Girl about her complaint to her husband Son.

"Stop...stop Tan, what is it? Why arrive Aunt Dateng then angry angry" firmly Girl sickened to hear his speech

"You're still asking what's up? You are the one who has told Aunt to Mas Putra about the two workers that Aunt brought it." he said sharply

"You don't want to worry" Maya points in front of Girl's face, the girl's emotions are ignited as Maya continues to press her and accuses her of forcing Rianti to hire the two men.

"Tan, don't think I'm younger than Aunty keep me not brave, asked Kak Putra and one more don't ever Aunt raise Aunt's hand to me" Assertive Girl annoyed

On the other hand, Rianti's steps finally stopped when he arrived in front of the big tree, he stopped a grandmother who was peeping at him earlier. The old Grandma was carrying a black-clothed stick with her white hair.

"Wait.." prevent it.

Suddenly the old Granny turned her body, her back looked a bit bowed Rianti was so curious about the Old Granny, and after seeing her face how shocked she was, she said, The grandmother was Nek Sumi, an old woman in the lake she visited at that time.

"Nek Sumi" his shock was unexpected

Nek Sumi laughed crisply after seeing Rianti recognize herself.

"Why is Grandma Sumi here? Grandma's house up here is pretty far but..."

"I can go wherever I want, you should not rush to make a decision" he said

Rianti was silent his forehead suddenly shrunk to indicate if he was confused by what Old Grandma was talking about. His questions were full of puzzles just as at the beginning of his visit.

"You mean Nek Sumi?"

"This is not your home, go home soon before it's too late, all will vanish with a sea of blood "Her ketus is punctuated with his laughter

"Grandma why always talk puzzles, what's late? What will be the sea of blood?" the question in Rianti's head grew fuller after hearing Nek Sumi's words

Nek Sumi pointed towards TPA Rianti observing the instructions that Nek sumi gave, he turned towards the corner entrance to the place where he was standing with Girl. Rianti continued to observe her but nothing was visible just the silence and trees he could see. Rianti called Nek Sumi's name saying there was nothing there.

"Mir.... No.ap....Apun" Behind Rianti looked back.he was confused after turning to Nek Sumi, suddenly the old woman disappeared from her place. Rianti scanned the surroundings looking for the whereabouts of Old Grandma but he did not see her again.

Rianti kept calling her name over and over again but Nek Sumi was nowhere to be seen either. Rianti finally thought of the word for word that Nek Sumi had spoken to him.

"Bak "clap Girl surprises Rianti

"Eh girl guess who" said her sigh

"Why are you here anyway? Girl calling from earlier mbak dengga denger" girl saw the place around her that was filled with shrubs and tall trees.

"Hmmm we go home aja yok, kasian Ningsih same Annaya at home "Take Rianti pull the hand of the Girl to return to her house
