Sound of the birds crying.
Kanita opened her eyes and saw the blur image of the ceiling. She took a few breaths before she looked to her right and saw the window. Then She got up and sat. The view became crystal clear, she knew she was in her bedroom.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgkiWZbOnK
“What's going on?”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1qjeBY3Wm
She touched her head, then she was reminded of last night. Ghost! She met a ghost! No, they were two ghosts!99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h0MOqdRig
“You got up,” the voice of Aunt Dari appeared with the food trolley.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXqr4QxFBp
“This house is haunted,” Kanita jumped to the floor and said. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ErOTkw8Le
But Aunt Dari seemed to ignore her words. She pushed the trolley near the bed and stated, “Here is your breakfast.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3CtFnWsvO
“I don’t eat. I’m going to leave,” Kanita said. Then she opened the cabinet and collected her dress to put them into her suitcase.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQeheSkCBj
“Payment is no return,” Aunt Dari exclaimed.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBl3d4YZaj
“You take it.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z1fGL3AFa
“You have to fulfill your staying-days.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMYFmGMXvq
“I don't care. I don't stay. I leave today. Now!” Kanita yelled. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReGDEXfFKM
After collecting all stuffs into the suitcase, she carried it out of the room and walked down stairs.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSvFKMfIwO
In the yard, Mok was standing next to the car. He was surprised to see Kania holding a suitcase coming to him.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvJl5pcQz0
“Take me to the airport."99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrQLegvCjy
“Why?” Mok said with eyes open.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr5c5Fbq7z
“I want to leave. I want to go back to the US."99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH0WLTE987
Hearing it Mok hesitated. He looked at Aunt Dari who was standing at the front door. When Aunt Dari gave a signal to him to follow the needs of the female’s guest, he opened the car's door then went to sit in the driving seat.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ldWahFmNW
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxhyfHCGDr
On the same way, Mok drove the car silently. Next to him Kanita was sitting, she was mute either. Her eyes looked through the window, her body was normal but her face showed that she was still scared. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvqLbKnEoY
Later on, she noticed something not right. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs13RKbaMv5
“I think we passed here at the last moment,” she said.
Mok nodded, “Correct.”
“Are we lost?”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78KeSweLKd
“No.”
“Then why?”
“We cannot go if they don't permit it.”
“Who are they?” Kanita shrank her eyes.
“They. They don't want you to leave so you cannot leave.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrZHYDvRsC
Kanita shook her head, “No, I want to leave. I must leave,” she said. “Stop the car.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4lNTK3blB
Mok reduced the speed till the wheels stopped moving. “Miss, you should go back. We cannot defeat them,” he told.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4m7iqsbfC
It was scary to hear that, but it made Kanita angry as well. She knew who he referred to; however, she thought she could not let them win. She left the car and took her suitcase out of the car and walked off. Because the road mixed with land and stone, it was difficult but she did not want to lose, so she tried to drag her luggage.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJPzJHADVa
Along the road, there were a lot of big trees. They were staying still but at once there was a wind coming and touching the leaves of the tree - creating a sound which was like someone was laughing.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlJz6KnSAv
Kanita heard it. Her spines started to have a chill, and without knowing why a drop of tear down on her face. Her heart was beating fast. Though she tried to be strong. She used her back of hand to clean the tear. At this time, she was scared and she was angry as well. How could she end up like this? In a crazy creepy place, she should not choose to come here, she thought.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Aiggn2lr
Because she tried to pull the suitcase, her hands became red and hurt. She paused her feet to take a rest and she took a look back. Surprise! She saw Mok was standing next to the car about five meters away from her.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tThspTdxE
“You followed me?” She said.
Mok shook his head, “No, I didn’t.” 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5uR9ySbZh
“What do you mean?”
“You might think you were going far, but in fact, you were not.”
Kanita narrowed her eyes, her face became pale.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW7c7B64Jl
“I recommend you to go back. You cannot leave if they don't allow you to leave. I don't want to scare you but I want to tell you the truth that they were pulling your suitcase while you moved, that's why you did not go far.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS24nMdhPXw
Kanita opened her eyes when she heard it. Her head was in a chill and her furs stood up. She thought this driver wanted to scare her, but as she looked through his eyes - it showed he said honestly.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLrzfhrjHo
At that time, the wind blew and it was strong. Again, the laughing sound came through the wind.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyt6NkN7k
As it happened like this, Kanita had to admit she was defeated. She allowed Mok to carry her suitcase back to the car, she allowed herself to walk into the car, and she allowed Mok to drive her back to that scary house.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMPAELWhBl
What a loser! 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwZGyof6k4
But how could she beat the inhuman?99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv3PIpZOGF
Along the way, Kanita sat in the seat silently. She was worried as she thought about what she would meet during her stay in that house, especially alone at night. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FUx6KdXpF
“I know you are scared,” Mok said.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEOrCeRFM8
Kanita wagged her head hearing it.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlNdgmPdG9
“You should go to Aunt Dari. Listen to her and follow her then you can survive.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF94KfKoST
It was not what she wanted, but after thinking for a moment, Kanita nodded.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadJNykfMA9
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT069R4qPT
At the front door, Aunt Dari was standing there. It looked like she knew that they would come back.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxu0NKPNcr
Kanita got out of the car and walked slowly with her head low towards the front door. As she got near, Aunt Dari stated, “Breakfast is cool. Let me reheat for you."99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbghNRhf5F2
With silence, the young lady went to wait in her room.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMI5WKwKky
When Aunt Dari brought the food, Kanita ate quietly. Unlike yesterday, Aunt Dari stood in the room, but she didn’t speak anything.
“I’m scared,” Kanita said and at that moment a tear dropped over her cheek. She wiped it and sobbed.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbJIkj4965
“I told you not to go out after 6pm but you did not listen to me,” Aunt Dari said.
“I did not know. You did not tell me clearly.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQTkWvEgZ3
“I cannot tell you everything. But I already reminded you about the rule of this house.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJjIov8JVb
“What should I do now?' Kanita looked at Aunt Dari with tears in her eyes.
The old lady took a breath. She was silent for a few seconds before she stated, “You cannot escape because you broke the first point of the rule. You have to be strong and stay here until the end of the five days.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZuZ0RIc9I
“How can I?”
“There is only one way.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMoKfa7P42
“What is it?”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nsiMtEQpV
“Two words - don’t care.”
Kanita watched the elderly speaker as she needed more information than this.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I3Rgsjw2c
“You will meet many things. However, you must not care; everything needs to be invisible to you.”
Perhaps there was no choice; hence, Kanita nodded and took a deep breath before she continued eating.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GxHo5xMhm
After the breakfast was finished, Aunt Dari took the trolley out and Kanita stayed in the room alone - for the whole day.
In the evening, when Aunt Dari and Mok were about to go, Kanita got out of her room to stand at the front door watching them leave.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAwMq9oDyz
Before getting into the car, Aunt Dari rotated to look at the young female guest for a bit. Through her eyes, seemed to be telling the girl, “Be strong.” And Kanita heard the message.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJq0uVIWmx
