The Shack
TG 23: Start to Reveal



When humans are faced with hostile circumstances even filled with mental stress because of situations that require feelings to remain calm. Sometimes people forget the fact that evil comes without being asked. In fact, once the evil eye greets, it wants to sweep away the peace that exists.


"Master, are you here? Look in the kitchen, we found something." Monica made Papa Bara and Papa Delano move away from the place of awkwardness.


The three of them ran towards the room that Monica meant. Where there are other family members gathered together. I don't know what was mobbed so everyone stood away from the middle of the room. Monica paves the way for the brothers to see the results of Ans' discovery.


The middle table which usually has food ingredients and also a stove. Now it's filled with strange things. Starting from several tears of white cloth believed to be a shroud, burnt remains of incense, jars with black patches, brownish bones as big as an arm and several other items.


All of the items were found from several corners of the room thanks to Kevin's instructions. I don't know who intends to keep the unworthy items as a room offerings. How not to think so? If he gets every item in a place he never thought of.


For example, like a shroud hidden under a children's room closet. Then the rest of the incense found behind the living room television, as well as other items placed in a place that can be reached just unthinkable.


Papa Delano certainly does not understand things beyond reason as well as his family. One thing for sure is that he wants the family to be safe. Al and Ale were discovered because the two children still have a long future. Besides, he doesn't want anyone to get hurt.


The expectations of the parents will always be the same but the situation cannot even be asked according to each other's expectations. After seeing what was found. Families choose to gather in the guest room even mothers do not let go of their children's hands because they feel afraid.


"Sir, may I speak frankly but please consider." Monica started the conversation in a soft tone because she did not expect any mass commotion.


Papa Delano invites without hesitation because the heart is still trying to adapt to all events. Moreover, the faces of his two sons looked increasingly pale. The fear of the two children was bigger than him. Hopefully Ar and Ans' mentality can still survive.


The gaze of an eye was fixed on Kevin who nodded giving permission, then turned to the adult Ans who winked. Slowly inhale the air and then exhale slowly. The burden of the mind does not change the burden of the heart that is increasingly burdensome.


"I'm sorry before. If what we're about to say might not make sense and could think of me as a mental patient but in the land we're going on it has what's called an ancestral tilapia.


"Whatever is currently happening to your family is another story from the previous story. Briefly I call it a streak story that someone masterminded to get one goal. Who and why dare to do all this? Only he knows.


"The mastermind who is currently in control of the entire situation is giving us real terror. Like taking two children from your family who must have continued with the other child. If it is not stopped, then one by one become residents of no man's villa.


"One more thing I want to say is where in the morning, someone came to see me and told you to leave the villa immediately and forget those who are not together. Her face was similar to Gentlemen ..," Monica held back a little because she wanted to see the Wellington family's reaction.


The statement was greeted with heavy breathing from Papa Delano while others were still seen digesting the explanation from him. Tense faces adorn a mood that is filled with fear, anxiety, worry and also the rest of hope.


"Ans, can you come with me? We have to check something." whispered Kevin, then pulled his best friend's hand to go with him.


Monica who saw the departure of her two best friends is still trying to stay calm. He now has an obligation to deliver the final message from one of the Wellington families. Kevin and Ans walk back to the kitchen.


The two young men go hand in hand but Ans has no idea what Kevin wants to do. So that only accompany without wondering. Footsteps stopped in front of the kitchen window, then opened wide. The gaze of the eyes looked out where there were only a few shrubs.


"Ans, what do you think is the distance between the villa fence to the kitchen and how long does it take to disappear from sight?" kevin asked unceremoniously to make Ans shift her body to see the outside.


For a moment observe how the terrain is flat without any obstacles. Spacious yard with manicured grass. Anyone who runs from the fence to the kitchen must have different time estimates because it depends on how fast the running rate. Especially if you are just walking normally.


"Ten-minute walk, seven-minute regular run, five or four-minute sprint. It could be faster if using marathon running techniques." Ans replied surely after estimating in accordance with the science he mastered.


For a moment, he spread his eyes to every corner of the room. A lot of kitchen utensils but what can be used to measure up to the stare is imprinted on the rope that is laid out in the corner of the side side side side buffet near the dishwasher. He took the mine, and gave it to Kevin.


From inside the room, Ans noticed Kevin's busyness measuring the land in front of the kitchen but the boy also marked with the stone found. I don't know what's in the friend's mind but he knows they're trying to solve the mystery.


Every action does not always get intense scrutiny. Just like Ans did was busy watching Kevin. From another room there was also someone staring at the movement of the man. Seringai increasingly revealed themselves even though it was faint because it was in the dark.


"Who are you? Why pay attention to such detail? The formula of the game should remain only we know. Then how could anyone know other than the sect members? Suspicious." he said monologue to himself while holding the knife tightly in his right hand.


That person can only wait for the night to move freely because now the number of villa residents is increasing. It is impossible to complete every plan in a hurry. Amidst the curiosity suddenly came the sound of agonizing moans.


The voice sounded so soft but enough for the listener to hear. Although it is not considered even only to be used as a corner display of the room. Fate is so sad when you want to be a good person. It is precisely fate that took away his freedom to live a decent life.


The gaze of the eyes can no longer distinguish when day and when night because the two eyeballs have been taken forcibly to make offerings. Now only half the hope becomes a spirit of life even though it is aware of the final result is still a terrible death.


"Rrrggghhh, lee-paa-ss ...," he bemoaned the hope of forgiveness but the more he was tormented. Then the mastermind will be satisfied.


The moans continue to sound nonstop. It followed the frustration in the heart of the puppeteer who immediately turned to step foot closer to the victim who was confined in his secret room. Without the guilt of a face that was no longer smooth, he slapped so hard that his hands felt hot.


"Shut up! Again barking. I cut off your head." threatened the mastermind to make the body of his prey tremble.


For him blood is just a drink that should be fresh. No matter what way to get the offering because the most important thing is the return of the beloved princess. Anything would be done for the sake of the second life that the sect master had promised.


Back to the living room. Where Papa Delano tried to calm his wife. After all the explanations from Monica who also told Kevin's life story. The Wellington family finally realized this holiday was a tragedy.


A glimpse of memory returning. This happened a week before leaving for Indonesia. It was not so late at night. Urban atmosphere that is always filled by vehicle traffic. But not that night.


The streets were so quiet as if there was no life. On the way to the house after coming from the office suddenly his car tire leaked. Unfortunately, the spare tire no longer exists. When confusion seeks help, it turns out that there is only silence around.


For almost an hour no other vehicles passed. He who was alone tried to contact the family but the phone did not get the slightest signal. Either there's a tower repair or something. He only knows that the body is tired and needs rest.


Instead of getting help. From where he stood he saw someone walking closer even though the distance was a problem with his eyes. One thing that is still remembered is that the man stepped foot like lightning. Suddenly it was getting closer.


I thought it was good luck to ask for help. He waved his hand in the hope of coming home soon. But who would have thought the strong wind waterbirds blocked his view so that he could not see the departure of people he saw.


If you think logically, it is common. Actually that's not what's being said as a bad feeling. But he was surprised by the condition of the car tires were fine after strong winds hit. Confused without being able to ask questions but because they do not want to take a headache so it is forgotten.


"You better pack up and we'll go home now!" break it after considering the risks that could be even greater.


Who would want to lose the whole family? Especially in a very unusual way. No one wants to but accept fate but open means resigned just like that.
