Angker Village
Knock the Door at Night


The night had come, and the moon and the stars began to shine. I was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner. Not long after, my father and my brothers came.


"Sister, why is sister's leg limping next door?" ask Aidil with his innocent mouth. I've been trying to hide from my father, if he knows what happened, he could be mad at me.


"I've fallen down, usually slippery ground," I said. Whether they believe it or not, but my reasons make sense. It was raining this afternoon, so they must have thought I was falling.


"But kal, when I get home from school. Brother's leg is limping?" ask Aidil again, the question is so troubling. Padahalkan, he is only a child, should not pay attention to him.


Dad and Idar started to seriously look at my feet, I became nervous. I could get angry if caught.


"Well, I was really"


TUK. We all looked at the source of the sound.


"It seems, it came from outside well," said Idar.


"Dad, I'm scared..." The aidil whine that moved my father's lap.


I closed my eyes, trying to see something outside. But only a black shadow ran hard and reflected at my door. Apparently, he can't get in. Before long, the black shadow, left without revealing his face.


"There's luis, you know something?" ask my father who is watching me.


"No, I'm just sleepy, so close my eyes for a while" I said back to the chair.


"I wonder, all this time, our village has never been terrorized like this. But, since brother rian's family came, there are many problems in this village. Don't you feel suspicious about your family?" suddenly asked, I just shook my head.


"It is not good to be prejudiced with a neighbor, if we need something, must ask him for help" said my father while eating.


"But yeah." I held my sister's hand not to talk. If my father is disturbed, he sometimes does not eat full. He's gone right away.


"This is the dining table, not the talk. Quickly finish your food!" my father's orders made us all eat.


After I finished eating, I looked at the clock in the dingding. At seven, it's not too late at night either. Me and Idar were busy watching tivi, while my dad, enjoying his coffee. Aidil had gone to bed first, after being full. That's how children behave.


"So don't you want to know, why couldn't my legs be moved at that time?" ask the idar who bothers me.


"Sir, listen to my explanation. I'm sure, once you hear it, you'll be suspicious of your family," said Idar who made me a little interested.


"What?" I asked who looked at him.


"In the afternoon, I swept the courtyard of the house. But I saw Rian beside the house. I think I'm looking for something. I followed him, by the time I got to the back of the house, he was no longer there. It's like he disappeared. After that, I went back home. And the magribnya, my legs are no longer in motion." said Idar gave an explanation.


"What does this have to do with Rian?" many wonder.


"You don't suspect, it could be him who keeps the witch in our house" said Idar who increasingly glared at me.


"Dad told you, the one who attacked us was uncle. Not rian,"


"But I'm obviously suspicious of him. It's like he's got something to hide,"


"Hemm, if you talk to me, don't be so loud. I'm your brother, it's not polite to talk like that" I said, advising my sister.


"Sorry, I'm just giving my opinion. I'm sorry if I'm wrong" my sister said with a frown.


"You angry?" my many.


"No, it's just, brother's like defending brother rian,"


"It's not like that" I said wanting to explain, but the sound of our door being heard on someone's tap.


I looked at my father, and he seemed to have heard it too.


"You guys wait here, I'll check it out" said my father who walked out.


"Don't dad!!, I don't feel good. Like something's going to happen" I said quickly. My inner eyes opened and displayed like that.


"Levily, if we just keep quiet, we will continue in terror, whether he is who and what his goals are," said my father who continued his steps forward.


"But yeah" I said but, my dad was holding the door alley to open it.
