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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncxvSse6CV
“What's going on?”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bc7beFAiN
She touched her head, then she was reminded of last night. Ghost! She met a ghost! No, they were two ghosts!98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1hlGuaVdT
“You got up,” the voice of Aunt Dari appeared with the food trolley.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiFfggcYWB
“This house is haunted,” Kanita jumped to the floor and said. 98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oxzrhybnt
But Aunt Dari seemed to ignore her words. She pushed the trolley near the bed and stated, “Here is your breakfast.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxVamRnOAl
“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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7WnmDXKjm
“Payment is no return,” Aunt Dari exclaimed.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMg3V7dFwI
“You take it.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacMHaOS5m9
“You have to fulfill your staying-days.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HaKIbtzwe
“I don't care. I don't stay. I leave today. Now!” Kanita yelled. 98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pinUKawvk
After collecting all stuffs into the suitcase, she carried it out of the room and walked down stairs.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBncfXTYA2
In the yard, Mok was standing next to the car. He was surprised to see Kania holding a suitcase coming to him.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoukE6HlBhj
“Take me to the airport."98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa3jb9lA5m
“Why?” Mok said with eyes open.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL1bL0g4B7
“I want to leave. I want to go back to the US."98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphK772X9pK
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRreiBWrqFI
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknfsZIvxZ1
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. 98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpJSOnrEjK
Later on, she noticed something not right. 98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KCi64qzK2
“I think we passed here at the last moment,” she said.
Mok nodded, “Correct.”
“Are we lost?”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPW4hQtNXq
“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.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bIXvHKiDh
Kanita shook her head, “No, I want to leave. I must leave,” she said. “Stop the car.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jR5tZcakC
Mok reduced the speed till the wheels stopped moving. “Miss, you should go back. We cannot defeat them,” he told.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8adg1iihYF
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB8wQsVlUv
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPu3sa49n6
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCU83WU1rC
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Ll9PtYDD
“You followed me?” She said.
Mok shook his head, “No, I didn’t.” 98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavoCe8z0tb
“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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnbrTZHTyv
“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.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TwKAP5f4M
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ZzcenpFF
At that time, the wind blew and it was strong. Again, the laughing sound came through the wind.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTzqWkV8Nv
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXoJxCMu9V
What a loser! 98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxEvsU3AGp
But how could she beat the inhuman?98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yXb9ZlmTK
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. 98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZPrQKIcRc
“I know you are scared,” Mok said.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOzNQGFACE
Kanita wagged her head hearing it.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTyBlQvbMa
“You should go to Aunt Dari. Listen to her and follow her then you can survive.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5eHRz9Gva
It was not what she wanted, but after thinking for a moment, Kanita nodded.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdZuQlmvc0
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle0nNA3s2p
At the front door, Aunt Dari was standing there. It looked like she knew that they would come back.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSDxoNCWSD
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."98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphEb5qYP8q
With silence, the young lady went to wait in her room.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSICbeSt1d
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xfgb5UEQY
“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.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBce6Pwvspb
“I cannot tell you everything. But I already reminded you about the rule of this house.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRFacWunGK
“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.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamiIi3oE4A
“How can I?”
“There is only one way.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLuOYkuWpH
“What is it?”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDluGBwRpx
“Two words - don’t care.”
Kanita watched the elderly speaker as she needed more information than this.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyhyemhqM7
“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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUhHxIUGea
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkvUcmd2Er
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.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVJRu86Huk
