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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5sMBbuVvn
“What's going on?”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgj35IaqkK
She touched her head, then she was reminded of last night. Ghost! She met a ghost! No, they were two ghosts!136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BPIjRrt8D
“You got up,” the voice of Aunt Dari appeared with the food trolley.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbGvqXPxhW
“This house is haunted,” Kanita jumped to the floor and said. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepC9wsuQY3
But Aunt Dari seemed to ignore her words. She pushed the trolley near the bed and stated, “Here is your breakfast.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEreXt7t1Jc
“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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKrVeAGiSq
“Payment is no return,” Aunt Dari exclaimed.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN2c7yINXH
“You take it.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m4x9cRmVt
“You have to fulfill your staying-days.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvMeDG2Owr
“I don't care. I don't stay. I leave today. Now!” Kanita yelled. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPhZ7x7oyj
After collecting all stuffs into the suitcase, she carried it out of the room and walked down stairs.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu6bfLQ297
In the yard, Mok was standing next to the car. He was surprised to see Kania holding a suitcase coming to him.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOc0f4qnJI
“Take me to the airport."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6wogYZgqj
“Why?” Mok said with eyes open.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw7Yop8IKm
“I want to leave. I want to go back to the US."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscaeKocPMo
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YUWxJvx6O
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4pyQTfV4I
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. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2JqtGOmh4
Later on, she noticed something not right. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcExEcXNr3i
“I think we passed here at the last moment,” she said.
Mok nodded, “Correct.”
“Are we lost?”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeHkTf280J
“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.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA0AfduiNI
Kanita shook her head, “No, I want to leave. I must leave,” she said. “Stop the car.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWNlrq1dnp
Mok reduced the speed till the wheels stopped moving. “Miss, you should go back. We cannot defeat them,” he told.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0jbCepznx
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWMOamU7Er
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cqU4JV720
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS80sqODbd
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yeJ17Y26B
“You followed me?” She said.
Mok shook his head, “No, I didn’t.” 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RSo4YqgZh
“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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAlbLoWRVV
“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.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ533coGmbbi
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx9PH98DXr
At that time, the wind blew and it was strong. Again, the laughing sound came through the wind.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN66xZ3TQt
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV3fbYQMuG
What a loser! 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvTmky6hWs
But how could she beat the inhuman?136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjaolcBqSa
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. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ202bRvkEWD
“I know you are scared,” Mok said.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkcUxRqZBp
Kanita wagged her head hearing it.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hvy6T6u7q
“You should go to Aunt Dari. Listen to her and follow her then you can survive.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNieH5n1Wd
It was not what she wanted, but after thinking for a moment, Kanita nodded.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NUA3HTXIR
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7K7xbw1fh
At the front door, Aunt Dari was standing there. It looked like she knew that they would come back.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm5PdnRSgA
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."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBS0vHUP48
With silence, the young lady went to wait in her room.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGIITVhRUY
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziDgYgWOz1
“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.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8grVylKYiS
“I cannot tell you everything. But I already reminded you about the rule of this house.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoMQMoeqeV
“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.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qJWDWBJRt
“How can I?”
“There is only one way.”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagecdSi6eM
“What is it?”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeNXUa0a1x
“Two words - don’t care.”
Kanita watched the elderly speaker as she needed more information than this.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjQxLfJkLF
“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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWbn1DjD6I
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkTnQBDdWq
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzhbo545L
