"I don't know anymore, Axton is my cousin. So, Axton's mother is my mother's sister, but that's right, maybe you know what I mean, and the news that's going on right now, I'm sure you will know," he said.It was like being struck by lightning, it felt like my heart was going to burst, I could end up going out with Axton's cousin. Was this not part of all Axton's scenario?"Serious??!!!!!" I was unable to say anything, my head immediately felt dizzy after hearing the words Renata said."Yes, but you don't need to be afraid, my family doesn't follow their teachings, I know for sure in your mind, it's like entering the same hole," said Renata.I admit that he is quite smart in guessing the thoughts of the other person, I try my best to be calm and not show a worried face."How did your family react when they heard the news?" I asked."We are quite shocked because they ended tragically like that, but we also can't do much, because it is their own choice. Mama is also still a little hurt b
I honked Zero's car, then they followed from behind. The rain that afternoon was really heavy, as if adding to the tense atmosphere that had just happened. Even I can barely see the road ahead, puddles of water have also started to appear. We raced against time to avoid getting caught in the flood and to arrive in Jakarta before it was too late."What, brother's friends know about Axton's problem?" Renata asked."Of course you know, even Doan was the first to say that Axton is the child of a family that adheres to black magic, Doan himself knew from Erika, his crush. Erika has a friend who lives in Semarang and Erika's friend used to go to the same school as Axton. Luckily no one ostracized Axton in class. Maybe it's because a lot of people don't know about Axton,” I said."Brother didn't think of visiting him?" Erika asked.I paused for a moment and sighed, “To be honest, I actually wanted to go see him today. But, for one reason or another, I called it off, I'd rather be completely
"Wake up, wake up," Zero's voice woke all of us who were already lying on the floor of his room, from playing PS all night."Why, it's still early you know," said Irvan."Morning, morning, it's eleven o'clock in the afternoon, well, wake up early, let's eat," Zero said.I looked at my cellphone, it was already eleven o'clock, there was a missed call from my brother and my mother.I then got out of bed and went out of Zero's room to call my mom."Hello, Mom""Robert, where have you been, the phone doesn't pick up?""Robert fell asleep, last night playing PS with friends, have you arrived?""Yes, yesterday at nine o'clock brother arrived here, now he has gone to his apprenticeship, do you still have enough money?""Still, ma'am, Robert just used a little bit,""Okay then, mama wants to continue working, don't you forget to eat, bye,"My eyes are still very sleepy."Ric?" Zero called me."Yup," I replied, I walked over to him."Are you calling?" Zero asked."Yeah, my mom called me when I
"Jeez, how come the world is so small, you're sure, but between Renata and Axton doesn't have anything to do with sects?" asked Doan."So far, I'm sure there isn't one, I just don't know why I'm worried about Renata, I'm afraid that Axton or Fredgie will run after her, what's more, they know that Renata is now close to me, there are feelings towards that direction, but hopefully not incident," I said."It's also true what you think, it seems like they're going to really run down on Renata if they find out you're in a relationship with her, especially Fredgie, who isn't clear about what's going on right now," Zero said.We were silent for a while, the taste of the food in front of us became bad."But there's one more thing I haven't told you. Yesterday I saw the reflection of Axton smiling sitting in the seat behind me," I said."Shit! Oh my goodness, Ric, don't tell me that you're still not free from them," said Irvan."That's why I don't know, how can I not be shocked, when I see an
"It's natural, Ric, for you to feel like that, maybe crazy people who aren't scary are bullied constantly until you almost die, it's the point that you almost died that you have to remember, you can't be stuck in the same hole, Ric," said Zero."Yes, I also don't want Ro, if I have to fall again in their trick, when Renata said that she was Axton's cousin, I immediately thought, maybe she is also one of them, but after I thought and heard all of Renata's stories I don't think that's possible either," I said."I hope that when you become friends with Renata, you won't be bothered by Axton. After all, the strange thing is why do you have to be trapped in their family circle. I'm not saying that Renata is one of them, I'm just afraid that it's like Axton's family or Fredgie's intention was to make it easier for them to track you down, am I right?” Zero said.I was silent, I had never thought of this before, but there is some truth in what Zero said, as if it was indeed an oddity, suddenl
“Robert is almost crazy, he often gets angry and irritated all of a sudden, we didn't know what caused Robert to be like that at first, he tried to keep it all from us, he tried to protect and save Axton by himself, in the end when he was honest, we came to Fajar's house, when he got there, Fajar told me that Axton's trick used to trick her cousin by being a woman who always felt tormented and asked for help from people who were close to her. From there, Robert, began to be forbidden by his brother to have contact with Axton, once Axton told Robert that she and Fredgie were going to a place below the peak, we planned to follow them to find out what they were doing, while on the way. suddenly Robert was possessed. The incident was very scary, finally when Robert realized he asked to immediately turn back home, "said Zero.Renata looked at me with a panicked face.“I'm sorry, I should have told big brother before it was too late, I was too scared to come and tell you all that Axton is d
I nodded. We finally decided to visit ma Fajar's house, luckily I remembered where his house was. Along the way Axton's image reappeared in my mind, I remembered the look on her face when her parents slowly fell to the ground and died. I remember very well her panicked and frightened face because of that incident, sometimes I feel like I'm guilty for not saving her, but sometimes I also feel hate and resentful towards Axton. I don't know what's really in my heart, do I hate him or do I still love him? It's clear that all of this is really tormenting me.I'm tired if I have to keep going like this, indeed I'm not sad or feeling hit, but slowly this feeling is getting more and more heavy making my footsteps become heavy. Axton, if you're really around me, I hope you hear my heart's voice. Whatever happens, I'm sorry, we're both stuck in the wrong time and space. We are just a couple of teenagers who want to be free, if now is the time to go, then get out of my life, I want to live in pe
Zero nodded, then Zero and the neighbor's father led me to walk to the car. I didn't know my legs really couldn't move, just breathing it felt like my chest was tight. Luckily, Zero was able to control his fear and trauma, otherwise we might have stayed overnight at the house of the neighbor in front of Fajar's house."Well, slowly," said the father as he put my body in the front seat."Thank you very much, sir," said Zero."You're welcome, we also thank you, if it wasn't for you, maybe we wouldn't have known that Fajar was in such a pathetic condition. Can you guys go back to Jakarta? If you are still weak, you can stay at my house first,” said the father."It's okay, sir, I've calmed down a bit, then we'll excuse myself, sir," said Zero.The man waved at us, and we left the place. On the way Zero and I were both silent, I was still stiff like an unconscious person. Zero is also so slow to bring the car. Everything is still clearly recorded, fortunately the police were sure and under
"Well, that's really fitting," added Doan.I thought for a moment, "Hm.. Okay.""Well then, I'll ask Erika where is the address of the social institution where Axton is now," said Doan.I sat on the edge of the bed, I still couldn't understand it, how did the paper reappear, is this really an old chapter that hasn't ended yet?"I've asked Erika, just waiting for her reply," said Doan."Okay," I replied.POV: AXTONAxton was asleep, but suddenly her eyes opened and turned white, her mouth opened and said something, I don't know what she said, because only the movement of her lips was visible and her voice did not come out. At that time, Axton was alone in her room.Suddenly a black cloaked creature appeared in front of Axton, it bent towards Axton's face and blew something into her mouth.Axton's hands moved and tried to strangle herself, Axton's face started to turn red, she was having trouble breathing because of those hands. The figure then pulled Axton's tongue which was starting t
I chose to sleep on the floor, because the weather was very hot. I took off my clothes, only wearing a white singlet shirt and cartoon prints, I lay hot on the floor.I tried to close my eyes that were already sleepy, but every time I closed them, the image was always there, as if calling me to come see her. Axton, yes that image is of course Axton's shadow, every time I fall asleep she always comes wearing a white or black dress sitting on a long bench with a blank stare, I don't know why I can see such an illusion, whether it's a sign or just my longing that turned into a pseudo imagination in the brain."Do I really have to call him?" I mumbled to myself, I hate it when I want to sleep, I have to feel like this. Doan had caught up with Irvan, they were both really sleeping soundly. While I'm still struggling with thoughts that I don't really know what to do. I really want to go see him, but honestly there is a sense of trauma in my heart, I'm also confused why I can be fickle like
"Axton, let's eat your breakfast first," said the caretaker.Axton woke up from her sleep, she looked around, the psychiatrist who had accompanied her all night had gone home, now she was with the nursing home staff."Thank you ma'am," he said."Are you okay if you're left alone?" he asked."No, ma'am, I'm feeling better, I can be alone," Axton said."Okay then, don't forget to eat breakfast and your medicine, okay, Anya's doctor will come and accompany you again in an hour," said the officer.Axton nodded, she then lay back down on her bed, her gaze looking far away, she must have been thinking about all that again,"How long have I been here ma'am?" Axton asked."Until you are deemed to have recovered enough and the police officers have finished collecting information," said the officer."I'm also confused after this where to go and how," Axton said, her eyes widening."You don't need to think about it now, the most important thing is that you have to be able to recover all your tra
"I know it will be something very hard for you, but as much as possible I hope you are wise and slowly to release all the shadows of him that are inside you, remember we have all come this far, don't let you fall again the same him, we don't know what will happen in the future, who knows he will hold grudges and want to avenge everything that has happened, "said Doan.I looked down, "Yeah, I'm also trying really hard not to think about him.""Erika just panicked when she found out we were there, she was crying asking us to come back, too many people would cry if everything was repeated for the second time, Fredgie is still alive even though in prison, we don't know what kind of knowledge he has, "said Doan."I understand, thank you again for accompanying me until this moment, I really have no more words, you are all my best friends," I said."That's the importance of friends, we will not leave you when you are in trouble," said Doan, he held my shoulder.We then sat down and stared at
"WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT HA, WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BROTHER WITH YOU! ROCK!!!!!!”"Don't involve them again, I have agreed to what you want, please let them all go," I said.“HAHAHAHA, Alright then I'll---“Suddenly, there were so many gunshots and footsteps, shouts from members guarding the upper door were also heard, I immediately turned to my brother, we just realized that one person was not taken, Mr. Fajar.Fredgie immediately ran to the exit, before he had time to go upstairs, a group of police came rushing in, apparently Fajar called the police and reported everything. In a moment, the police had surrounded the room.“HAND UP EVERYONE!!”"What is this?" asked Axton's mother so gently."We from the police received a report that here there is a practice of black magic that has claimed many victims," said the policeman while holding out his weapon.“Hahaha, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” Suddenly Axton's mother screamed, her shrill ear hurting and scary.“WHY DO ANYONE BREAK EV
Suddenly the faces of the three of them became panicked, we looked at each other and then we hugged, to be honest we are only seventeen year olds who have no experience in dealing with supernatural things like this. Five minutes later, the knock reappeared. This time the knocking was repeated until the doorknob was played. We started screaming in fear. In the midst of that fear, my sister called."Hello kaaak!"“OPEN DOWN!” I immediately stopped whining and looked at my three best friends, then stood up and headed for the door. I slowly opened it while closing my eyes and what appeared this time was my sister, Nofi and Riko."Gosh, what are you guys doing," my sister said."Earlier before you, someone was knocking too but when I opened it there was no one, that's why we were scared," I said."Come on, maybe this hotel guard, the important thing today is that nothing strange happened, right?" my sister asked.I shook my head. My sister brought sponge and food for us, she put it on the
After discussing and convincing me, we decided to follow their car, Kak Nofi's house is a highway that is always used when we go to Puncak, we can easily wait for them on the side of the road and follow them.Two more hours to seven, we each showered and got ready to leave. We borrowed Nofi's clothes, I asked my friends to tell her parents that they might come home late or not even come and stay with me. After getting ready we left Nofi's house to a restaurant on the side of the road, we would eat and wait for them to pass there. Hopefully what we have planned does not fail, hopefully there is a clue that can lead me to the gate of escape from all this tense things.It's seven o'clock, we're all in the car, Axton still hasn't texted. Five minutes later, Axton texted me, saying they had started walking. We started to square off, our car parked facing the street, I sat in the front seat so I could see Fredgie's car. We had estimated that they might pass in fifteen or twenty minutes. Sur
"I'm sorry, Robert, I can't do anything," he said.“You don't have to do anything, you just need to stay with me and deal with this,” I said soothing Axton.Axton cried for a long time, we understand very well how shaken Axton's soul is if she has to keep witnessing this terrible event.My eyes fell on a car parked across the park, it was Fredgie's car. I calmed Axton down and told her that Fredgie's car was there.We immediately hid as much as possible among the bushes nearby. A few minutes passed, Fredgie came walking towards the car, he was on the phone, it was not clear where he had come from. Fredgie then left.We decided to go home, afraid that Fredgie would pretend to spy on us. I escorted Axton to the front of the market, she then walked towards the house. Her eyes are still red, I ask her not to cry anymore, and call me if something dangerous happens.Me and my three friends headed to my house, as planned today we will go to visit sister Nofi's neighbor, Nofi's house is appro
"Are you still old?" I sent the message to my sister.My sister replied, "No, in a minute".I can't wait for my brother to come, a long time, suddenly someone pulled the chair in front of me, Fredgie."You're Axton's friend right?" he said, "May I sit down?"I looked at him sharply, "I'm his girlfriend, just sit down" I said curtly.Fredgie smiled then pulled out a chair and sat across from me."Maybe you've seen me, I'm Axton's cousin, I happen to work here" he said.I nodded, "Don't you live in Bandung?""This is my parents' company, I only come here once a few days, to check work, I'm one of the leaders of this company, by the way what are you doing here?" he asked.Before I could answer, my brother came over."Loh, there is Mr. Fred, good afternoon sir" said my brother."Good afternoon too""Excuse me sir, do you know my sister?" my sister asked.Fredgie turned to me, “Oh this is your sister? I just know, he's my cousin's girlfriend, okay then, thank you Robert for talking, I'll e
