Tuk... Tuk... Tuk...
Vee's sleep was interrupted by a knock on her bedroom window.
Tonight Vee still survives in her parents' house because she is still afraid when dealing with Hideo.
"What the hell?" muttered Vee in his sleep.
The sound of knocking on the window of his room was getting crowded with a sound like a nail claw on his sills.
"Roof... Noisy" said Vee, who sat down, feeling very disturbed by the noise in the window of his room.
Vee opened his eyes, looking at the window of the room next to the bed.
His feelings are starting to get worse. Especially when looking at the wall clock, it still shows one o'clock at night.
Back his hair bristled, his fear began to spread to his consciousness.
"Hideo huh?" shout Vee.
But long enough to wait there is still no truth from him.
The sound of knocking was still heard, it was even more lively.
"Vee, let's go. Vee let's go out" instead adding to the voice of a solicitation of something that Vee also doesn't know what it is.
Emboldened, Vee began to wonder what was behind the window.
In a slow motion, Vee pulled the sign and peered out the window.
"Baaa" a small creature surprised her from outside the window.
Lucky Vee fell to his own pillow.
"Astaghfirullah, he was shocked" Vee said as she rubbed her thumping chest.
There was laughter coming from outside the window.
It looks like it was the act of the three leaks that he had met in the yard this afternoon.
"Vee, wake. Vee out. Vee let's play" their voices sounded alternately asked Vee to leave his room.
Vee ventured to go back to the situation outside her room. And sure enough, the three leaks laughed horribly after seeing Vee's face poking out from behind the curtain.
"Let's go out, Vee" lip movement from Ho, looks strange because of the vertical shape of his lips, but can make a sound clearly.
Although the resulting sound sounded there was an echo at the end of his sentence.
"What are you doing?" ask Vee.
"We're going to play, let's go out Vee" Ro asked.
As if hypnotized, Vee felt interested in joining the three of them.
With a carefree step, Vee went down the bed and wanted to find the three leaks that were waiting for him outside the house.
When passing through the living room, Vee could not see Hideo's whereabouts flying weakened.
His heart was too carefree to feel like he had made a new friend.
Hideo feels the strangeness that Vee is doing, with the energy starting to weaken, Hideo follows Vee who is out of the house tonight.
"Yee, Vee's coming. We play hide and seek, yes, Vee" Ho asked.
Vee nodded happily, no longer seeing the face of fear as when they first met.
The four of them started doing hom pim pa, and Ci was the loser. He who counts and guards.
"I count to ten, you hide" Ci said excitedly.
"1, 2, 3...." Ci starts counting, while Ho, Ro and Vee find a hiding place.
Still not feeling the awkwardness, Hideo just peeked out from behind the window in the living room. And its existence is invisible to the three ghostly leaks that are inviting Vee to play.
Vee looks excited to play with them. Although the noise was created from the laughter of Ho, Ro, Ci and Vee, but there was no one from the residents of the house and the surrounding neighbors who were disturbed.
No one came out of the house to warn them.
And now it's almost two in the morning, which means Vee has been playing with them for almost an hour.
"I'm hungry" Ho said as he held onto his stomach.
"Me too" Ro also followed Ho.
"We eat at home?" take Ci with spirit.
"Vee's coming home, right? Later meet with mom" said Ho persuaded Vee.
Vee hesitated a little, this time she kept quiet before answering. Vee turned his head towards his house, but was prevented by the three leaks.
"You should come with us, Vee. You have to keep playing with us. We are destined to always play together" said Ho again, it seems like he is the spokesman of this devil.
Vee was still standing glued to his place, it seemed as if he had slightly regained his senses as Ho suddenly pulled his hand to follow him away.
"Don't touch me" cried a surprised Vee as Ho's cold hand clasped his hand.
Ho, Ro, and Ci stood quietly in place. His eyeballs of which there was only one looked increasingly enlarged as they glared.
Even over time, the color of their eyeballs turned reddish. Which was originally normal color like humans in general, even though there was only one.
Vee started to feel fear this time. He was already trembling when he saw the three leaked friends turned sinister.
Because not only his eyes are reddened, but already seen fangs from his teeth arranged transversely.
"You must come with us, Vee" said Ho, who had pulled Vee's arm.
And so did Ro and Ci, they began to forcefully pull out both of Vee's hands.
"Aahhhhhhhhhh.... Tolowg.... Mother, Brother Varo, please Vee" cried Vee who defended himself not to be interested by the three ghostly leaks.
Things are getting precarious, Hideo comes out of hiding. His pale white face was also flushed, both of Hideo's eyeballs also looked changed which was originally light brown, now a pitch black color. There's no white at all.
Hideo flew close to the three leaks that were pulling Vee.
"No, no, no, no" ridiculed the three of them.
Being treated disrespectfully by little demons like them, naturally made Hideo go black.
The smoke raised his hands to the chest. Then snap his finger, and magic.
The three demon bounces were bounced far away, roughly up to three meters back.
"Mayh .." Ho looked furious, he stood up again and was ready to attack Hideo.
The three of them ran towards Hideo, and wanted to knock him down.
And again, Hideo snapped his fingers. Ho, Ro and Ci walked backwards. The three of them approached, as if they were magnets pulling on each other.
They stood on their backs, and Hideo moved his fingers as if he were making a knot from a rope.
And what happened was, the third body of the ghost was like it was bound. They can't move their bodies.
"Aahh, goddamn prince. The naughty prince" shouted the three of them to Hideo.
"Shut up" cried Hideo who silenced their mouths.
Hideo was angry, and his anger was terrible. The man in the form of smoke turned red, even his hair too.
Vee was getting more scared, he was still standing glued to his place. Now it is growing with its trembling knees.
Vee cried, she was too scared to even dare to open her eyes.
Hideo silenced the mouth of the three leaks with a spell he knew. Then approached Vee who was still sculpting.
The movement of his index finger was like pinching Vee's forehead slowly. And made Vee surprised while turning her head.
"Huh? What are you doing om?" ask Vee like someone just woke up.
"I didn't do anything" replied Hideo who had changed himself back to normal.
Only able to see through, Vee looked at the surroundings in confusion. And the look of his eyes was fixed on the three leaks that stood as if they were being tied up.
"What are you doing?" ask Vee fearlessly.
"They are being punished" Hideo replied.
"Why punished?" ask Vee.
"Tomorrow I tell you, now you should go in because you want to be morning" said Hideo.
Vee nodded, obeying Hideo's words to enter his house, and entered his room.
"I'm not sleepy, om" said Vee lirih and saw his wall clock still showing at three in the morning.
"Take abl wudhu deh, want to pray tahajjud. Why am I anyway? Why is it so dirty?" ask Vee to wonder to herself.
But still he pointed his feet at the bathroom that was in the back, near the kitchen.
Hideo is still waiting for Vee inside his room, still hovering near Vee's bed.
Before long, Vee had returned with a whudhu water circle that was still wetting the ends of her hair.
His clothes had changed, no longer the dirty clothes he had used to play hide and seek with the devil that was still tied in the yard.
In Hideo's eyes, the clear water swirl looked as glittering as crystal. And Vee looks so pretty.
Vee held a prayer mat near the bed, and wore his favorite yellow mukena.
As he looked towards Hideo, there was something strange in his view. But Vee doesn't know what it is. He immediately held two rakaats.
Two greetings Vee did, now he will chant his prayers.
Vee turned back to Hideo who was hovering near the wall.
"Om, you look weird" Vee said.
"Weird why?" hideo asked softly, it looks like he is weak.
"Your shadow is thinning, om. The smoke around you is also getting smaller. What's up, om?" ask Vee to start panicking.
Actually, Hideo had to absorb energy from the beings around him. And since the last time he absorbed the energy from the kuntilanak he encountered in the forbidden forest, until now he had still not absorbed the energy from anything around him.
"I need energy" said Hideo weakened, his appearance was already like a hologram running out of power.
"Om, you're getting invisible" Vee is really freaking out right now.
It was true that her fear of Hideo had not completely disappeared. But seeing it like this, of course Vee does not have the heart. Moreover, Vee did not know the usefulness of the objects in the ancient wooden box he got from Sri.
"Om, how is this. What can I do to get you to be normal again?" ask Vee.
"I need energy, Vee" Hideo said.
Vee now began to fear, "What energy did he mean by absorbing it like he did to the kuntilanak?" ask Vee in his heart.
"How much do you need, om?" ask Vee doubtfully.
"Quite a lot so I can get back to normal. Because I have spent a lot of my energy attacking that little creature in front of your house" Hideo said.
Now that Hideo's look has even faltered, surely in a moment he will be completely lost.
"Take the energy from me, om. But not much, yeah. Because I still have to be seen by my mother and sister tomorrow morning" Vee said.
He no longer knew how to help Hideo recover. And if the only way is to give him energy from inside his body, Vee will do that as long as it doesn't take his life.
"Are you willing to sacrifice that far for me, Veronica?" hideo asked, once again he was looking for confidence from within Vee.
