ARDEN POV
Tonight we'll be looking for Dedi, and the only place we're going is the empty house.
We're all going there, except for Kiki, Alya and Doni. I am also calm because Mr. Nyoman accompanies them at home.
They are deliberately at home, who knows Dedi arrived home alone, although I know it is not possible.
"okay... Ready it?" ask those who have gathered in the yard.
They nodded with serious faces.
We walk to that house.
It's 21:30 now
And we are deliberately desperate to find Dedi right now because we are afraid of something bad happening to him.
He is my responsibility here, however.
It was only about 10 minutes we got to the house.
The wind blew a bit hard, making some leaves from the big banyan tree in front of the house fall.
Krrieitett..
Radit opened the gate slowly, but the sound was deafening.
Maybe because it is made of iron and almost everything has rusted, so the sound is somewhat disturbing if opened.
We walked inside, tracing every page of the house. Wild grass that is high enough with scattered leaf leaves adds to the mystical impression of this house.
"Seriously the Dedi's over there?" ask Danu.
"May be" said Radit.
"Where else to try, right?most likely yes here," replied Aretha with confidence.
Danu nodded with a look on her face that I could not read.
He was clearly worried about Dedi's safety. Not just him, me and the others.
Arriving at the terrace of the house, we walked in slow steps, while observing the situation around us. It's dirty and badly damaged this house.
It can still be clearly seen from the fire as well, because many are charred on some parts of the corner of the house and its furniture.
Radit came forward and opened the door.
Chequek!!
He looked at us with a face of astonishment.
I only nodded once hinting for him to continue to enter the house.
Armed with a few flashlights in our hands, we began to enter the house still slowly. Well, maybe it's more like a burglar breaking into the victim's house.
Inside this house, things are very chaotic. Messy, dirty and ruined.
I spread my gaze everywhere with a flashlight in my hand.
"Where is this? How are we going to split up?" radit asked while looking at me.
"Eum... It's a good idea, '" I said.
We then search all over the place by splitting up.
They have walked with their own purpose. Radit and Aretha to the 2nd floor. Danu, Ari and Dion to another room on this 1st floor with me as well.
I don't know why I'm so interested in getting close to the kitchen.
I walked into the kitchen while continuing to shine my way.
The kitchen is more chaotic.
There's a bad smell that stings my nose. Until I close my nose with my arms.
"What the hell is this??" muttered to myself.
I keep checking this place. I wish there was a clue to Dedi's whereabouts.
When I pointed the flashlight near the stove, I saw a shadow sitting there.
I point the flashlight at the shadow I mean.
But I found nothing.
I kept looking into whether there were any clues to the whereabouts of the other Dedi.
The water around me is hot. Though I was very sure, when we entered the weather was cold. We all wore jackets before we got here.
Dugg!!
Dugg!!
Dugg!!
I looked at the source of the voice. The voice came from a table that was already fragile.She observed this table, looking for the source of the sound I just heard earlier. This table is empty. There's nothing there.
Just wait!!
What's this.
Behind this nightstand is like a long line. Out of curiosity I shifted the table a little.
I was so surprised to see what was behind it.
A door!
'What is this door?'
Kriieeett.
It turns out it's not locked.
The size of this door is not as big as the door in general. Only about half.
And when I opened it, it turned out that there was a ladder leading down.
It's an underground door.
But it is very dark and stuffy.
"Den!!!" Radit patted her on the shoulder until I was a little surprised.
"Astagfirulloh ... Ngagetin aja.." I grumbled annoyed.
He even chuckles amusedly.
"Sister... What the?" areta continued to stare at the dark passage in front of us.
"Yes, really serem. What room is it? Like a house outside the country, there is a basement," Radit said as he looked into the room.
There were footsteps approaching us.
It turns out Danu, Ari and Dion.
"God! There's someone outside. How is it!!" ari asked in a panic.
And it's true that someone broke into the courtyard of this house. From what I see, he looks like a man.
"Eh, mending just crouch. I don't feel good. Seriously," pinta Dion.
"Yes, agreed. Where is it stuck? "ask Danu.
"That's auh. Load it for all of us" Ari suggested. He pointed at the basement earlier.
I thought for a second. I don't know, it feels really hard to step in there. I don't know what's in there, what's the condition, and one thing's for sure, the air in that room is hotter than this house.
But Dion had already walked in. With the help of a flashlight in his hand made himself able to see the situation below clearly.
Finally others followed him in because the man outside had started to enter this house.
It's not strange. This house has been empty for a long time. Who is this guy and what does he want?
Klekks!
Our door closes after everyone enters.
This room is not too big.
"Eh. There's a tuh switch. Make the lights yes" said Radit
Then he turned it on, and sure enough, this room became bright. Even though the lights are a little dim, it is better than having dark patches.
We can see more and more clearly now, and here it's like a warehouse. Lots of stuff that seems unused.
"Eh.. This is what else yes. There are so many secrets in this house," said Danu.
He was staring at a door again. This time the door was normal.
"Open up!!" pinta Retha's.
Danu nodded.
However, locked.
Kriiieeett
Deg!!
The door of this room, open.
We all looked at each other and panicked a little.
"Ngumpet" whispered Radit and asked us to hide behind some stuff here.
My heart was beating rather quickly.
Could it be that this guy was here?
Who exactly is he? And what's he gonna do here.
He owns this house. Because he knows about this room.
Footsteps were heard coming into the room.
We hide ourselves more so as not to be seen and not to be heard.
The man looked around him.
He's quiet for a second.
"Did I forget not to turn off the lights, yesterday?" muttered.
Ah, it seems he's suspicious. I hope he doesn't find us here.
He then walked to the door Danu had found.
The sound of the key sounds was very clear.
Kriiiieeeet!!
The door is open.
I peeked out of where I was hiding. What's really in there. Why is it so secret.
'What, that?sm like a child' I murmured in my heart.
Suddenly I felt like something was pulling on my shirt, and when I turned my head. My heart was almost dislodged, looking at the figure of the little boy who appeared beside me
His face was pale. His eyes were black and not even his eyes were.
He took my hand and pointed to the room.
My body started to get a fever, and somehow I just kept quiet and did nothing.
He kept pointing to the room.
Whatdoes thatmean?
Does he want me to go in there?
My shoulder was touched by Aretha and the child's figure was gone.
"No papa, right?" retha asked while whispering.
I just nodded.
"In the dalem there, Tha," I said as I pointed at the room.
Aretha nodded.
Prasggs!!
Everyone look over. Dion seemed to accidentally drop the display that was beside him.
We all glared at him because of his carelessness.
"Who is it!" yelled the man.
We even hide more afraid of fear.
The man came out while continuing to circulate his gaze in all directions.
"There was an intruder" he said cynically. He knows our arrival.
I heard his footsteps approaching us.
He kept walking, and arrived..
He pulled Dion into his arms while sticking a knife to Dion's neck.
"Bright.." Aretha shouted in surprise.
"What do you want?" ask the man.
"We... We're looking for our friend sir" Danu said.
"Friends. Why did you come here??" snapped it.
"Well, he's here, sir, "Jawab Radit cuek. Really this is a child. Craziest
"You!! Damn you!!" sniff the father again.
"Well, less father. My friend wants to try!!"radit said without showing the slightest expression of fear.
"If I want to kill how? huh!! You dare!!"threaten her.
"I? Yes, obviously brave sir. Why am I afraid.." Radit was very relaxed in responding to this man.
Radit nodded to Dion, like a code to each other, and Dion stepped on the foot of the apakk. His grip finally loosened and the opportunity was not wasted Dion. He lowered his head and Radit immediately kicked the father's head hard.
With a single kick, the father fell backward, crushing.
Dion stayed away, and we stayed away from him.
I'll be in that room soon.
"Geez, Ded!' my yelling.
Dedi was right there. With the condition of the hands legs are tied and the mouth is gagged.
I'll approach her soon.
"Oh my goodness, Ded!! How come you can be here anyway?" ask Danu, while helping me untie the ties at Dedi's feet.
I take off the cloth that gagged his mouth.
His breath was stingy.
Dedi's face was pale. He glanced to his right side with a horrified look. I looked at the place he was looking at.
'God willing!!'
The little boy was there, the figure I had just seen, being stiffened.
His figure was near the door while staring at his body lying on a wooden bed without a mattress.
"Corpse!" peekik Radit's.
"Oh God..." Aretha saw her slice even pressing her head and stared at another corner. Maybe he couldn't stand to see that.
I approach the body of the child, I hold it too.
"Den!! He's got the same man crazy!!"said Dedi.
"What's? unheralded? Crazy time yes!!" shout Dion.
"Ih. It's so horrible!" ari said while shuddering.
"Don!! Where is father?!!"I'm going to Radit.
"Forgot me!!" while patting his own eel and then out looking for the father.
"Dragon, Den!!run!!"radit shouted from outside.
Aaaakkk!!!
I heard the door shut tight.
I'll be out with the others soon.
I saw Radit trying to open the door connecting this room with the kitchen.
"Ke lock gaes!!!" his yell.
"What! whoops!!" ari tried to open the door. The others are approaching.
And fix, the door is locked. More precisely locked from the outside.
Who else if not the father.
"Duh, how's dong." Areta started to panic.
It's not funny that tonight we're locked in this room, with the child's body there.
Where hape no one brought anymore.
Huft..
