TRAPPED IN THE MAYIT VALLEY

CHAPTER 19. MULTITUDE

There is something strange, why in this house a lot of used clothes, used clothes that are very much up to a mountain of about two meters.

In addition there are also a lot of hair.. Hair cut from the head of a human.

Ivon did not comment on the pile of hair, he just kept silent and stared. I'm sure Ivon's thinking something about what's in front of us.

“Nov... You sure this is all real hair?” ask Ivon

“Yes is Von... every day I always take care of hair and makeup, but Novi is sure this is real” hair Novi said as he held the scattered hair

“If it's real, then this much hair and this much clothing for what?” muttered Ivon

“Have rec, ndak not much thought rec... we should just rest”.

“And try to find in this house who knows there are tubers that can be eaten.. Who knows the owner of this house keeps tubers or rice or what is edible, although obviously it is impossible here”

Outside the rain is dripping and sometimes it becomes heavy so that the smoke from the furnace that should come out through the sidelines of the roof of the house now will gather inside the house.

And of course the smoke trapped in this house causes us who are in this house to cough and shortness of breath.

“Wil just open the door and window of this house.. The smoke let out all” said Tifano

“Iya Tif.. Let's rek help me open the window”

Bondet opened the door, Tifano and I tried to open the window of a house that had never been opened for a long time, because it was difficult to open..

“Rek this window can not be opened” said Tifano

“Iya Tif, wis let alone not open, the door is enough to enter fresh air from outside kok”

“But not the fresh air that enters wil hihihi mas. Who enter the cold air does not box mas hihihi” said Novi

“Iya Mas Wil.. we must choose cold air or smoke here” Ivon added.

“Close the door Wil. This smoke can also come out from the sidelines of the roof of the house.. And only a few are trapped inside, so just close the door, rather than us being cold here” Bondet said

Our door closed again, the cold air that had entered gradually began to normalize with the fire coming from the combustion furnace..

“Rek, there will be a pot to cook. we take rainwater and then we boil it to make rec drinking water… our drinking water supply lives a little this rec” said Bondet who pulled out a large bottle of mineral water from his backpack

Indeed, there are pots and cookware lying on the ground floor, but the state of the cookware is dirty, and like there are spots or traces of unwashed cooking… and after I smelled it it was kind of rotten.. The smell of unwashed dishes.

“Ndet... try you here.. try you smell this pot Ndet... I think this is a former dish ya?”.

“Hmm Yes Wil... This is the stench of someone who cooked using this pot, and when viewed from the stench, maybe this is not long Wil..”.

“Eh but this house seems to have not been occupied by Ndet” for a long time

“Iya Wil.. That was also what I was thinking, when I first entered this house.. But if you see the traces in the pot and the stench that comes from the former cuisine, it means there are people who have not been here Wil”

“Already Ndet, do not make drinking water, later we find a source of water that we can use to drink. for a while we just rest here and wait until the rain subsides tomorrow morning”.

Novi, Ivon, and Tifano were just sitting on the floor covered in old clothes, they didn't see any pots and other cookware lying around…

I know, actually something's wrong here, it's just that I don't know what's wrong until now.

There are piles of hair, and there are also piles of clothes, and there are also cooking tools that have been rotten.

“Wil... I was not afraid, when I knew that Sapudi, his wife and his friends were not real I was not afraid, because we had experienced more than this Wil” said Tifano

“After Gilank is gone and now Broni is also gone I am also not how afraid Wil. I assume they may be hidden subtle creatures here.but Wil.”.

“I'm afraid we're not related to subtle invisible creatures.

“Iya Tif... I also get it. so tomorrow morning we go from here.. We're looking for reinforcements or elders who might be in the village next door

The night my friends are asleep, they must be tired after a day of struggling with strange things in the village that I do not know if this is real or not real.

I. I can't sleep, because all I'm thinking right now is get out of here as soon as possible.. This place is weird…

Mr. Sapudi, Mr. Min, and Sapudi's wife.. They were the three people we met in this village, when we first set foot in this village two days ago..

Two days ago at night this village was like a village in general, the flame of a torch on each fence of the house indicates this village there are residents.. What we see is like a dead village abandoned by its inhabitants!.

Outside the rain still falls.Sometimes it is just a speck…

I sat leaning against the wall of the house while listening to the sound of rain falling from the sky and hitting the roof of the house and the ground outside..

“Mas Wil..kok not Sleeping?” asked Novi who then sat next to me while leaning against the wooden wall of the house

“Neople can't sleep Nov, you yourself can't sleep too?”

“Udah is not sleepy.. Stomach Novi hungry mas hihihi” said the man mustache, bearded, but his body movement is meek like a woman

“Mas Wil... why the hell if the children of Sutopo in gathering there is always a strange occurrence gini?”

“Hehehe ya not also Nov, just a coincidence we kayak gini”

A moment later Novi and I were silent because I heard another sound besides the sound of rain.

Novi also seemed to hear what I heard as well.he tilted his head and probably tried to hear what was out there.

Then Novi looked at me with a thoughtful look and asked for my opinion on what was out there.

I didn't answer the question from Novi's face asking for my answer, because right now I'm also thinking about what's out there.

In addition to the sound of the rain, I also heard the sound of footsteps of one person, but not the sound of footsteps of many people.

The voice of the person on the road seemed to be heading towards the village, the sound of many people walking in crowds from the direction of the bridge towards the village and passing through the house we now occupy

“Mas Wil..” Whisper Novi while holding my wrist

“Hussshhh.

“Ih.. formerly mas Wil like Novi grasp...huuuh” reply Novi while whispering again.

“You used to be beautiful, your hair is long.. You used to look like a girl.. But now you look like a bantji thug!”

“Ssttt brisik mas” reply Novi

The sound of many walking footsteps that are disguised by the sound of rain water is increasingly clear.

Ivon, who had been sleeping next to Bondet, was now awake and seated, and he tilted his head slightly as he must have been trying to separate between the sound of footsteps and the sound of rain.

“Mas Wil.. ayoo we peeked at mas.. Ivon was curious about the sound of this” whispered Ivon who approached us

“Don't Von. We don't know if this sound we hear is really a human voice or not”

“Iya mas Wil. but Ivon curious mas”

“Ya.. Try to open a little door of this house..” tell me while whispering.
