Triangle (Driehoek)

Demon Catfish

They saw many catfish, of various sizes, swimming in groups here and there. The numbers are tens or perhaps hundreds, given the vastness of this submerged plain.

The fish ranging from only 20 cm in size until there is an arm of an adult.

"Krtk.krtk.tek, "Doni accidentally stepped on a dry twig, "Ups, "whispers and then grinned so consciously Aris and Rudi looked at him.

The fish in the puddle swam away because they felt the vibrations of the broken twig. But it was not long, because after feeling safe they went back to swimming casually. Some even swam not far from where Aris and his two friends were standing.

The atmosphere is so calm here, but somehow Aris feels something awkward and feels uncomfortable. He felt like something was hiding and watching them. His face frowned, thinking hard trying to analyze.

"Yuk, tomorrow - tomorrow we come back here again, " said Aris reasoned. He still did not get a reason why he felt uncomfortable, but he thought it was better for them to go first.

Doni looked at him, "bare Ris, "he replied.

"Lha kok ni children even feel at home here, "inner Aris astonished to hear Doni's answer, because this is the child who had earlier whined to take him home because he said hungry.

Rudi also looked at Aris with a clear view, he pointed his fingers at the fish that were playing.

"I'm afraid Mang Asep is awake and confused because we are not nearby, "Aris said again reasoned.

"Tanggung Ris, we're already here. At least we didn't come back empty-handed, did we? "Rudi replied while raising his hand with his fingers pointing towards the fish in the puddle.

Aris looked at Rudi for a moment, and finally he gave up, "Ok I give you 15 minutes, yes, "he replied.

Rudi clenched his hands, "YESS!! "The goal was to get excited and then prepare a bait from plastic crackles he pocketed.

Doni walked a bit away to the right of Rudi, then there with his leisure he opened the ritsluiting and urinated in the direction of the stagnant water. Turns out this is the reason he refused to go home soon, pee.

"Wei dodol, what are you doing? "Shouted Rudi who had just crouched on the edge of the water while holding a fishing rod. Without expression Doni just turned his head and continued to pee while shaking.

Aris just grinned to see the behavior of his two friends, even though the feelings of anxiety have not gone from him. He looked around. Some are awkward but still can not conclude what it is. Many times he was like seeing flashes flashing in the biggest house in the middle of a puddle, just can not be sure whether it is really real or just his feelings. One more thing, he felt familiar with the shape of the house, although he could not be sure where he saw it before.

Shortly thereafter..

No need to wait long, once the bait is thrown there is always a fish snatching hook, some caught, while the rest managed to escape. So far Rudi has managed to lure five fish. While Doni is eagerly busy helping Rudi collect the fish caught.

"Thanks to pee this cave, the fish so on drunk, "said Doni cengengesan.

"Be careful Don, this local catfish, got your fever patilnya, "said Rudi without turning his head.

Aris got carried away, excited to see the success of Rudi. Finally he forgot that they were there for half an hour. He picked up the phone, noticed, there was no signal yet. After pointing the phone to and fro and still not getting a signal, he took the initiative to climb the slope to higher ground.

Here he saw a dead tree of considerable size, and he sat on it. On seeing back his phone, this time there is a signal point, he was excited to immediately contact via WhatsApp to Novi. Enabled a video call option to show this place to Novi, but the girl directs it.

Aris looked at her phone in confusion. But confused shortly because immediately entered a message from Novi, "sorry brother Aris, Novi was changing clothes after bathing, "read the message, Aris grinned with a reddened face.

Novi called back.

"What's up, brother? "Ask Novi.

"Ehm..Is Asep back home? "Aris asked back.

"Ooh you guys ran him over, huh? "

"Sorry brother, there was a little business in the tea garden, so Novi asked his son Mang Asep, the Dian to pick him up, " replied Novi.

"Ooh yawdah, "said Aris glad, thank God they do not have to worry about Mang Asep looking for them.

"Hey, it was brother vc to show you a cool but strange place, "said Aris.

"Strange how brother? "Ask Novi.

"Ntar, I video...."

"Damn, the signal is gone again, "the Aris's thesis looks at his phone.

Aris walked back while pointing his phone to and fro looking for a signal. But because not a single signal point appeared, he finally filled the time by recording the houses that were set and the surrounding area for later analysis at home.

But suddenly his eyes were pounded on something on the phone screen.

"Eh, what is this.."the inner attention is on the screen.

He then leaned over to observe a long object lying on the ground, while still recording. After his observation it turns out this object is a ribbon that has been so dull and hack here and there. The ribbon is three fingers in size, red in color and some have lost their color due to weathered. There is a layer of like wax that wraps around this ribbon so that it does not break down quickly due to the weather.

Aris pulled the ribbon in his hold, it turned out that this ribbon extended several meters to the right and left, wrapped around the trunk of the nearest tree.

Aris walked to the left to see where the ribbon was hoisted, "here the ribbon was cut off, "he thought while watching.

Although the ribbon was found disconnected, he could see the connection lying on the ground, elongated, and then disconnected again in some places.

Aris stared as far as her eyes could see and saw the same ribbon, surrounding the area of submerged houses.

He soon realized something was very wrong here, this red ribbon was definitely meant to signal that this place was dangerous or forbidden.

One more thing, he was finally able to deduce why he felt that there was something strange here. That is, in addition to a collection of fish in stagnant water, there is no sign of animals or insects. Let alone birds passing by, the sound of insects was not heard, as if living beings were avoiding this place.

Aris immediately stepped hurriedly down the slope to approach Rudi and Doni.

"Streak!!! "Shouted Rudi, Aris saw the strong turbulent water a few meters before them. A seemingly enormous fish was grappling in the water trying to escape from the hook's eye.

The water became muddy muddy due to the rowing of the fish, they could only catch a glimpse of the shape of the fish's tail and head.

"Njir, this is it!! "Shouted Rudi. It seemed like the size of this fish was as big as an adult's thigh, really big. Several times they saw the fish's head appear, the mustache indicates it is a catfish.

"Then pull Rud, "said Aris while watching tensely, really lucky this child, he thought. He again forgot his intention to take his two friends away.

Rudi's body was repeatedly pulled forward because of the strength of the fish rots. Doni stood up and held Rudi's waist, "Oi don't pull my pants!! "Serrite Rudi.

After a while of struggling it seemed that the fish was starting to limp, but was still trying to fight back. Currently, their distance to the fish is only two meters.

"Ni hold Ris, I let go down to the water, "toward Rudi hand over the fishing rod to Aris, he was worried that the catch cut the fishing line and escaped.

Aris holding a fishing rod, it feels very strong this fish, for life he fished recently faced this big catfish.

Rudi opened his shirt to engage the body of the fish to make it easier to hold.

"Can!! "Shouted Rudi.

"Eh, do not resist, "he said, for the fish thrashed strongly.

"Kecipak, lizard!! "

Looks Rudi berkutat trying to wrap the body of the fish with his clothes, it's an effective way to hold the fish slippery.

Rudi smothered the mouth of the fish with his right hand, he felt a pain in the palm of the hand that had been scratched by the hook eye.

Several times he slipped and almost fell because the fish was still fighting. Finally the fish was successfully rolled with his clothes and no longer thrashed.

Satisfied he walked towards Aris and Doni on the edge of the puddle while carrying a huge catfish.

"Successful gaes!! "His shout was excited, but then his excitement turned to astonishment as the two friends looked at him with deathly pale faces.

Aris and Doni looked at Rudi in fear because they saw Rudi's right hand covered in blood, the head of the fish on the back of Rudi's hand was seen twitching, it turned out that the fish's mouth sucked blood from his palm.

Not only that, Rudi sangking happy also did not realize that the fish he was cupped with cloth only the head, fins, and tail were in the form of a whole catfish. Other parts of the body are just bones.
