TRAPPED IN THE MAYIT VALLEY

CHAPTERS 20. THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITY HERE

I'm nodding my head sign I agree Ivon's opening the door now.

The rain was still falling, but I clearly heard the sound of footsteps…

Slowly Ivon opened the door of the house slightly, slowly tilting his head to peek at what was out there.

But only for a moment, because a moment later he closed the door, then he turned towards me and towards Novi while closing his mouth….

“What's Von?” ask Novi

Ivon did not answer…. He walked slowly towards me and Novi was.

“Outside empty, dark, and rain. There's no one out there!”

“Nobody outside is walking either alone or crowded” Ivon whispered in a somewhat trembling voice

“Well let's just say we heard wrong Von, which we heard the sound of rainwater hitting the roof of the house or what's out there” said Novi who tried to neutralize the situation

“Iya Von... Novi right.. maybe what we hear is raindrops that hit the field something and cause similar to the sound of people walking.

I confirmed the words Novi so that things do not get worse, but I knew exactly when what I heard was really the sound of people walking, not raindrops hitting something here.

At this moment the voice was no longer heard, starting when Ivon opened the door of the house, the voice began to disappear, and now all I can hear is the sound of rain falling in this village.

“That voice is now gone Wil” said Ivon again

“Well it might be our hearing that corrects our brains to make our brains think more logically again Von, so actually what we hear is sometimes interpreted differently by our brains”

“Have you slept there again Von, me and Novi who will keep watch here”

“No mas, Ivon is already sleepy, Ivon will also take care here” replied Ivon

The atmosphere was quiet again, the three of us were not talking to each other anymore, we were just trying to sharpen our hearing so we could hear things clearly.

“Novi hungry mas..”

“Yes Nov, not only are you hungry, we all must also be hungry, especially in this cold

My sitting position from earlier facing the closed door, the door was tightly closed, staying between the door and the ground floor was enough to know what was outside, because the door and floor gaps were not precise, maybe there were about two centimeters

I don't know why, I'm interested to keep looking at the door gap with the ground floor continuously, don't know why it feels like there's something interesting in that gap.

Turns right…

I saw a reflection of light from the door gap. There was a reflection of the torch flame I saw from the door gap, I looked at Novi who was sitting next to me and facing the window as well.

It turned out that his eyes were also fixed to the door gap in front of us both. Novi turned to me with a confused look, and without saying anything.

I, turn to Ivon who is next to Novi. Ivon was apparently asleep in a sitting position, so there was only me and Novi who saw the reflection of the shadow of the torch fire light visible from here.

“Mas..” whispered Novi while holding my thigh slowly land

“Iya Nov... I know.” I replied while whispering as well

The flame of the torch was not silent.. Rather walk from the right to the left, and it's not a single torch.. I have seen about three torches passing in front of the house, because the reflection of the flame can be seen in the gap of the house door

“But mas...”.

“Already, do not need to pack but-firea, tomorrow morning we have gone from this place as soon as”

I'm actually curious about who's out there, but I don't have the guts to peek inside here, I'm afraid it's like Ivon that there's nobody outside.

The reflection of the torch fire light remained visible from here, the torch fire moved from the position of the bridge towards the middle of the village.

“Nov... You are curious about the reflection of the torch light?”

“Obviously Novi was curious, but Novi did not have the courage to peek at mas”

“Ya no longer need to peek Nov, hopefully we can survive here for tonight, and tomorrow we go from here to seek help”

I sat facing the door…. And finally after a few times I saw the light of the torch fire, finally the reflection of the light was no longer visible.

Now the atmosphere is quiet, there is only a speck of rain that is still heard from here, the drizzle seems to last until the morning.

I'm getting sleepy, I thought Novi was sleeping first….

BUUGH…!

The sound of something being dropped on the door kept me awake..

“It was a sound uh something heavy and then it was dropped just like that.”

“If from the sound similar to the sound of a rice sack that was put and dropped just like that in front of the house” door

What is it, fight what else will happen next….

It turned out that after something was dropped on the doorstep, I heard absolutely nothing, neither the sound of footsteps nor the light of the torch fire.

Until I finally fell asleep….

*****

“Mas Wil... wake up mas..!” whispered Ivon who shook my hand

“There's nothing Von!” I said while whispering

“Mas... in that room.. there was a sound of something” whispered Ivon.

I tilted my head until I could hear the sound of a man cutting his hair with scissors.

It was clear that the voice was coming from the living room, because we were in this house, and the room was separated by a mosquito net.

“Sstttt silent Von, I think there is someone in the room, if it is a person, how can that person enter this house, he said, whereas from earlier I did not hear the sound of the door of the house that opened“ whispered to Ivon

The voice is still heard.. Like someone who was cutting hair, until a few minutes in front of the sound was still there, until about five minutes later it was not heard again.

“Mas.. what should we do?”  whispered Ivon

“Udahah, keep waiting and hope the morning quickly comes Von.
