Angker Village
Protective Necklace

As per my decision yesterday, I visited Ana's house. There are so many things I want to ask my grandmother. I brought a book and a pen, considering I couldn't talk.

Geck...Geck...Geck...

When the door opened, Ana immediately hugged me. Pull my hand in.

"Luis, my grandmother has taken medicine for you." Ana said, with a happy face.

"Sit down, my grandmother will be here soon." Said Ana, who ran towards the kitchen. Prepare tea for me.

I started to move my hand, writing something I wanted to say in the book. I showed it to Ana.

WHERE IS YOUR GRANDMA NOW?

"He was out to pick up a leaf. Take it easy, as soon as he comes." Answer Ana.

I'M HERE, THERE'S A NEED WITH YOUR GRANDMOTHER. THIS, ABOUT TUYUL MARNI.

Ana's face confused reading my writing. He scrunched his eyebrows. Ana's grandmother, come in and see me at her house.

"Luis, you've come. Hurry up, but grandma just wanted to tell Ana to call you." Said Ana's grandmother, who was surprised to see me.

"Luis seems to know already, grandma made medicine for him. Hence, he came early." Said Ana.

"Luis, the medicine Grandma made can only help you to talk for a moment. The time limit is only for the next three days. You alone decide your fate for your safety." Obviously Ana's grandmother.

I nodded, I already knew about this. Ana's cheerful face, now radiated sadness. Ana understands how I feel.

"Luis, I'm sure you can." Said Ana, who was encouraging.

I drank the potion that Ana's grandmother gave me. It tastes so bitter, all the ingredients are from leaves that I don't know about. I went to the toilet many times, wanting to spit it out because it was too bitter.

"She, that's medicine not poison?" Ana asked, who saw myself going back and forth to the toilet.

"Where can grandma make poison" replied Ana's grandmother.

I sat back on Ana's couch, with a weak face and body. The medicine that Ana's grandmother gave me, it made my throat hot.

"Mom, why does it feel so hot on my neck?" I asked, who could involuntarily make a sound.

"Luis, your voice is back." Said Ana, who pointed towards me.

I was surprised to hear it, for a long time my ears had not heard my voice. Ana and I hugged each other for fun.

"Remember Luis, your voice will ask you three days ahead." Obviously Ana's grandmother.

"Remember, grandma. Thank you so much, my voice is back." I said, smiling happily.

"You come here, there's a need?"

I'm nodding. I started to tell Ana and her grandmother about Mr. Mus who keeps the tuyul Marni.

"Actually, grandma is not sure if Marni has tuyul. It's just that, residents have seen the tuyul into Marni's house, so residents think if it's tuyul Marni." Said Ana's grandmother, who looked serious.

"But, grandma. There's something strange about Mr. Mus. He's working with Ratna's mother, but instead letting Ratna's mother become a mash-up?" Ask Ana.

"Grandmother doesn't know either. If you think it's weird, maybe Mr. Mus is planning something else."

After discussing with Ana's grandmother, I went home. I am quite satisfied with the information I have. When I got to my porch, someone's hands were smothering my mouth.

I looked back and saw Rian's face.

"Why are you keeping me?" I asked, in wonder. Rian's face was shocked to hear my words.

"Luis, can you talk?" Asked Rian who was still in shock.

"Yes, Ana's grandmother gave me the potion. Only three hearts ahead, after that my voice will be gone again." I obviously went to Rian.

Rian's face lowered to hear it, he immediately revealed a strange necklace to me.

"Luis, put this necklace on." Said Rian, who had a necklace around my neck.

"This is really a necklace?" I asked, in wonder. I've never seen a necklace like this. Made of black thread wrapped around, then added a cloth in the middle that I do not know what it contains.

"This can protect you, you can't take it off. Promise me," said Rian who extended his little hand.

I didn't ask any more, Rian quickly ran when he heard the sound of my sister's footsteps.

"Sir Luis has come home. Who are you talking to?" Ask Idar who is standing by the door. I hurriedly hid the necklace Rain gave me.

"Nobody's there." I replied, who turned towards my sister.

"Sister Luis, can you make a sound?' Shouted Idar, who covered his mouth. Idar immediately ran inside, telling my father who happened to not go to work.

When approaching the magrib, I was sitting on the porch of the house, like seeing the appearance of Ratna's mother who was not far from me. Surprisingly, Ratna's mother wore an all-black expressionless shirt. Usually, the ghost is flying, wearing the clothes that he last wore. Just like Marni, but different from Ratna's mother.

"Is that Ratna's mother?" My cave in my heart.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure. Surprisingly, the sighting of Ratna's mother has already disappeared.

"I may be hallucinating." I said, who went back into the house.

At the same time, Rian was slapped by his mother.

Pakkk...

"We were brave enough to give Luis that protective necklace. Rian, mama is hard-pressed to find a tumbal that has magic, in order to give you as a protector." Mama Rian said furiously. His loud voice echoed in the living room.

"Ma, I don't want Luis to be a victim either. Mama takes Ratna's mother, awakening her evil spirit in order to get revenge with Luis. Mama knows, Ratna's mom wants to eliminate Luis." Shouted Rian who did not lose out loud.

Rain and papa Rian, just shut up and sit on the sofa chair letting his wife and Rian have a fight.

"With Rian, mama did all this, for you. Not for mom."

"Rian doesn't want to anymore, ma. Living like this continues, it's better for Rian to die!" Said Rian, who entered into his room. He closed the door loudly, leaving Rain and his papa shocked.

"Look now, pa. Just because of Luis, Rian has dared to fight me. Finish Luis off!" Mama Rian said with annoyance.

"Please be patient, ma. Soon, Rian won't see Luis." Replied papa Rian, who was just staring at his wife.

"Ma, Rian gave Luis his necklace, because he didn't want to wear it. Every time Rian fell asleep, the sound of screams, asking for help, even the voice calling out to Rian was always heard. Rian felt that if all the collisions you took, Rian could hear their screams." Clearly Rain, who knew Rian's suffering all along. Only, Rain did not dare to talk to mama. Rain knows what his mother did for Rian.

"But this is a good way, so that Rian can stay alive. I will fight, even if I have to sacrifice anyone in this village. Including Luis' family." Mama Rian said, with great emphasis in each of his words.

Rain and his papa, could only sigh at hearing it. Mama Rian's determination, very strong. Maybe because she was a mother to Rian, giving her best.
