Voices From Other Realms

Be protracted

The full moon night....

Arum must complete his agreement with Kanji's grandmother...

"Died two more Arum." his heart gave encouragement.

"Anum.kamu who made me hasten your death," there is a little regret in Arum's heart, if you may stop, Arum prefers to stop.

"Do Arum, it's for your family's sake.Hurry or later you still have to do it," comfort her other heart.

"Remember your safety and your future baby.., grandma Kanji is very lustful to your fetus..," said Arum's inner voice.

Arum looked at the sleeping Raden Prana.

With Arum slowly coming down from his bed, he did not want to until Raden Prana woke up.

Arum came out of the house to Anum's house.

"Anum come out" he whispered before the front door of Anum's house.

Soon Anum opened the door and walked out.

"Follow me" Arum commanded.

Anum is hypnotized, he walks after Arum without being able to protest.

Dimas woke up as soon as he heard the sound of doors opening and closing.

Seeing that Anum was not at his side, Dimas rushes out of his bed.

Dimas saw the front door of the house that was wide open.

"Where did Anum go?" Dimas asked in his heart.

Dimas rushed out of the house, from a distance Dimas caught a glimpse of the shadow of Anum stepping with a woman.

"Wait a minute, isn't that Arum Raden Prana's wife?" Dimas asked in his heart.

"Where are they going these nights?" Dimas was astonished.

Dimas follows and tries to catch up with the two, but Anum and Arum are walking very fast.

Dimas chases with half a run, but somehow he has not yet managed to catch up with them.

Dimas pinched his arm, he doubted if this was real or if he was dreaming.

"sickness..." Dimas said it himself.

Then this is not in a dream, but if it is real then why can't he go after Anum and Arum? they just walk, they just walk fast.

Dimas finally ran.but still he did not manage to catch up with the two.

"Anum..," Dimas finally shouted.

Arum looked back, but he seemed to be indifferent to Dimas, while Anum did not look at all.

Anum and Arum remained unceasing, instead speeding up his pace even more.

Dimas was further left behind, but could still see the whereabouts of Anum and Arum.

Dimas frowned as Anum and Arum entered the forbidden forest.

"Why did they go there, don't-don't to see Raden Bondo's body," Dimas guessed.

"But for what? didn't Anum want to keep it a secret that Raden Bondo died from a fight with him?" Dimas was very surprised.

Dimas ran with gasping breath, he did not want to lose track of Anum and Arum.

Dimas then entered the forest, he could still see the back of Anum and Arum.

Anum and Arum did not head towards the direction where Raden Bondo had fallen but in the other direction.

This breaks Dimas's conjecture of Anum, and then what they want to do in the woods these nights.

The forest was dark, only illuminated by the faint moonlight that could still penetrate into the forbidden forest.

Anum and Arum stopped at a large tree.

Arum shouted out loud.

"Grandmother Kanji...

I brought an offering for you.and it seems like today you got an addition..."

"What does that mean?" Dimas was astonished.

Eventually Dimas was able to get close to Anum and Arum.

Dimas gaped when he saw an old granny figure coming out of there out of nowhere.

The old granny laughed with a creepy cut.

"Hi..hi..hi..hi..you came faster cah ayu...hi.hi.hi....," the granny's laughter resounded in the forest.

The old grandmother looked towards Dimas.

"Come here." the grandmother ordered Dimas.

Dimas's mind was still conscious, yet somehow his foot stepped itself closer to the creepy old grandmother.

"It's a big bonus..hi..hi...i like...." the old man laughed and showed off his pointy teeth.

Dimas could also look towards the old grandmother's nails which looked very long and tipped taper.

"Dedemit or demon waiting for this forest?" Dimas speaks in the heart.

His body was already soaked by cold sweat...

Dimas saw Anum who seemed silent.

"Which one should I taste first? both are young hi..hi.." asked Kanji's grandmother to Arum.

"Whatever you like" replied Arum.

"Your brother was the first." Grandma Kanji approached Anum, holding Anum by the neck.

Then...

"Clap....." Kanji's grandmother sucked blood from Anum's neck.

"A...a...aaaaa..."

Only a long cry from Anum that felt pain sounded.

Dimas looked at everything with a trembling body, his tears flowing as soon as he saw his wife who died in front of him without being able to help him.

Anum's body slowly began to dry and wrinkle and then disappeared into black smoke.

Grandma Kanji licked her lips.

"Sugary...."

"Now it's your turn to accompany your wife" Grandma Kanji approached the terrified Dimas.

When she resigned, she closed her eyes as Kanji's grandmother rubbed her neck and began to suck her blood.

"A..a.aaaaaaaa..," there was a shrill of pain from Dimas's mouth until his body dried up and snorted and turned into a puff of black smoke.

"The two of you have become the waiters of this forest.hi.hi.

"Thank you cah ayu..you make me happy today..hi.hi..hi.

"Dead one more fall..do not forget the ayu...after a month you give birth you must give the final fall for me.. After that agreement we take paid off."

"Don't miss it, because remember the punishment you will receive if you forget," threatened Grandma Kanji.

Arum shuddered, Grandma Kanji looks really scary.

"Good Grandma Kanji.I go first," Arum hurried away.

Kanji's grandmother could see Arum's fear, she giggled.

"Hi...hi..hi." Grandma Kanji's laughter filled the forest of prohibition.

Arum rushed away holding his breath, he wanted to get to his house immediately.

After arriving, Arum slowly entered his house and entered the room slowly.

Arum smiled with relief, Raden Prana was still soundly asleep.

Arum laid his body next to Raden Prana.

"There was one more thing left.and after that I was able to live quietly with Raden Prana and our son" Arum muttered smilingly.

Tomorrow maybe Raden Prana will assume Dimas and Anum have gone from Raden Prana's rented house without saying goodbye to them.

I don't know what Raden Prana would think of with the sudden disappearance of Dimas and Anum.

Arum closed his eyes, trying to get to sleep.

"Let tomorrow be tomorrow's business" he murmured inwardly.
