Traveling to the Unseen Realm

37. Head Without Body

Maudy's daydreams fell apart when the mother asked him again the cause of the bruise on her neck.

" I don't know Ma.." said Maudy.

" How could you not know. It doesn't make sense to Maudy. You have a body, you do not know if there are people who want to hurt you. Diliate from the bruise is also definitely this was done not long ago...!" mama Maudy said.

" And from the front of Auntie..," interrupted Chika.

" True Chik. Because choking sampe kaya gini can only be done from the front. And that means Maudy looked and knew who was nagging me.

Everyone nodded then looked suspiciously at Maudy and it made Maudy uncomfortable.

" Apaan anyway. Don't think I'm rich that I can't, '" Maudy said annoyed.

" Who is Mod...?" ask April.

" Who's what...?" maudy asked not to understand.

" The sickly Lo. Guys, right...?" guess April.

" Sok tau, not a guy but a girl tau..," said Maudy while whining.

Maudy's words surprised everyone. When he realized that he had been free to speak, Maudy rushed to cover his mouth with a palm.

" Tuuhh ngaku kaaann.," said Maudy's five friends together.

" Tell Mama who she is. Mama wants to samperin him now. Good aja nyekik you until lebam rich gini. Mama wants to do the same calculation with him...!" mama Maudy said as she stood up.

" No Ma, no need. Then Mama won't be able to meet him" Maudy said, blocking her hand.

" You doubt Mama Maudy's ability...?" ask the Mama.

" Ga Ma's. But this is serious. This bruise I got from Ma's dream.," said Maudy to make the mother's forehead wrinkled.

" What a dream is Maudy, Mama doesn't understand. Try the story so that we do not misunderstand..," asked Mama Maudy riled.

" Mmm.., I had a nightmare last night Ma.

Then Maudy started telling me all the scenes in her dream. Mom and Maudy's five friends seemed to be listening seriously. After Maudy told me, fear clearly loomed on her face. She hugged Maudy tightly to calm her down.

The silent atmosphere also rattled. Everyone stared at each other in confusion as they did not know how to respond. Suddenly Maudy saw the end of Kareen's fingers wrapped in bandages. There is a reddish color in the bandage is a sign that the wound on Kareen's finger is quite severe because it continues to bleed.

" Finger Lo why Reen?, how bad looks. Still bleeding...?" ask Maudy.

" Oh this. Just a scratch wound anyway. But I wonder why it bled all the time from last night. And this is the third bandage that I wear." said Kareen while observing his finger wrapped in the bandage.

" What scratches...?" ask Maudy.

" You don't know, you don't know, I.e.," said Kareen, shaking her shoulder.

Suddenly Kareen's phone rang. Kareen smiled when she saw Erwin's name on her phone screen.

" Eh, Erwin, uh" said Kareen enthusiastically.

" Cepet picked up Reen.." said his friends.

" Yes, patience dong..," said Kareen.

Then there was the conversation between Kareen and Erwin. On that occasion Kareen also had time to ask the news Ranvier. For some reason when he mentioned Ranvier's name, the wound on his fingertip was painful to make Kareen hiss.

" Sshhhh.., it hurts a lot..," muttered Kareen while observing her fingers.

" Why Reen...?" asked Erwin from across the phone.

" Gapapa Win, just a small wound. Uh, how. So we're meeting tomorrow...?" ask Kareen.

" Can. Ntar I share the place yes..," said Erwin.

" okay. Don't forget to invite Ranvier and other Lo friends, yes Win..," said Kareen representing his friends.

" Well, I'll close it down, yeah, Reen. Assalamualaikum.., " said Erwin ending their conversation.

" Wa aleikumsalam.., "said Kareen with a smile.

" Where's Reen...?" ask the four friends of Kareen impatiently.

" Berry. Erwin will join his team tomorrow as well..," said Kareen.

" I can't be with you, I can't go" Maudy said suddenly.

" Gapapa Mod's. We understand, Lo will be sick again..," said Evi.

" Greetings to them, " said Maudy.

" Siiippp.," said the five friends to make Maudy laugh.

\=\=\=\=\=

At that time Erwin also invited Akmal to participate because Ranvier will come late later.

" Where is Ranvier...?" ask Kareen when he doesn't see Ranvier with Erwin.

" Ranvier is coming late. There is still business he said..," said Erwin quickly.

" Oh that's it." said Kareen, nodding.

" Known I am, his name is Akmal..," said Erwin.

" Hi Akmal. I know I'm Kareen." said Kareen.

" Hey Kareen, greetings yes..," said Akmal kindly.

Then Akmal shook the hands of Kareen and his four friends one by one while smiling.

" Where's maudy...?" asked Erwin after ordering some menus for them.

" Maudy is sick. He sends his greetings..," said Evi quickly.

" Greetings yes. Uh, what's the pain...?" ask Erwin stale base.

" What pain is it. It's hard to say, '" said Evi reluctantly to make Erwin frown.

" What do you mean...?" asked Erwin curiously.

.

Just as Evi was about to open her mouth, Ranvier suddenly came and greeted them.

" Assalamualaikum all. Sorry late..," said Ranvier kindly.

" Alaikumsalam.., "sahut all at once.

Ranvier's arrival made Kareen's gloomy mood suddenly become cheerful. He seemed enthusiastic to answer Ranvier's greeting.

" Father Vier. We also not long ago, I'm friends.., "said Kareen who greeted nods of his friends.

" For You I've been pesenin all over Vier. Is it...?" ask Erwin.

" Gapapa, thank you..," said Ranvier while sitting next to Akmal.

" Eh, how's Vi going. Temen Lo is sick what it is, I'm curious about it.", said Akmal.

" Who is sick...?" ranvier Sela.

" Maudy. The pain is quite strange. Abis we met the other day, the night Maudy had a strange dream. She dreams of being chased by a woman wearing a black dress. And in his dream Maudy strangled the woman in the black dress. But strangely fitting wake up, the strangulation marks in the dream seemed clear on Maudy's neck." said Evi.

" Well, I can do it, yeah" Akmal and Erwin said.

" really. Then Maudy also has a high fever, and because of that she can not go to school with her mother.

" The former giggles are also still there until now...?" ask Ranvier.

" Yet.." - Kareen cs.

" Weird..," murmured Ranvier who was taken in by everyone.

And then Ranvier accidentally saw Kareen's finger wrapped in bandages. Ranvier frowned at the sight of blood seeping out from behind the bandage wrapped in Kareen's fingers.

As Ranvier sharpened his vision, he saw Kareen's finger being bitten by a disembodied head figure. The long-haired head seemed to be chewing on Kareen's fingers wrapped greedily. And a moment later Kareen screamed while holding her blood-thinning finger.

Everyone was shocked and looked at Kareen.

" Why Reen...?!" ask Dilla and April at the same time.

" My finger hurts a lot.." - Kareen complained as she clasped her injured fingers.

" Eh, Kaya's bleeding again Reen...!" chika said as she pointed at the bandage that changed color to red.

Kareen was shocked and stood up. He seemed uncomfortable because he was worried about making everyone disgusted.

" Sorry, I went to the toilet first to change the bandage..," Kareen said.

" I'm going to go get it, Reen" said Dilla, grabbing Kareen's bag.

" Ok, thanks Dil..," said Kareen.

" Yes together. Udah yuk hunted, ntar keburu netes on the floor was not good with the others.", said Dilla half whispered.

Kareen nodded while accelerating her pace. Ranvier looked intently at something that was following Kareen.

A disembodied head-shaped object appeared to float up following Kareen right next to her injured hand. Ranvier believes that the scent of blood from Kareen's wounds has attracted the creature to follow him everywhere.
