The Forest Behind the House
23. Hot air

"What the hell is it, Ma? How come you're on the whip of a fan today," Budi told his mom and sister.

"Hot bang. Don't you feel like our house is hot today?" ask Irfan.

"Yes, Bud. Don't you feel any different heat?" ask mama anyway.

"No, Ma. I don't feel any change of air in our house."

"The hell bang? People our home atmosphere is like hell gini, brother doesn't even feel anything."

"Yes, I don't feel anything. For me, the temperature in our house is normal. Just like the usual days."

Irfan and Mama did not answer. They can only look at each other. Because right now, what they are feeling is, the heat temperature is getting higher. As for Budi, he felt nothing at all.

There is something strange about his house. He decides to ask Yuni about the change his family is feeling, while he feels nothing.

"Yes, I went to the room first yes, Ma, Fan."

"Yes," replied Mama and Irfan simultaneously.

As Budi walked towards the room, he looked at his papa who had just come out of the room.

"Did you also feel the temperature of our house change, Pa?" ask Budi.

"Yes." Yeah." Papa answered briefly.

"Do you feel it too?" ask papa again.

"No, Pa."

"No?" ask me like I don't believe what I'm saying.

"Yes, Pa. I don't feel anything."

"Where do you know that this house is hot now?"

"From mama and Irfan, Pa. They're hot right now. But strangely, I felt nothing," said Budi with a puzzled face.

"There is something wrong in this house" said papa as he passed away leaving Budi with a guilty face.

Be aware of what you mean by words something is wrong. He felt the words were directed at him, papa as if to say indirectly that what happened in this house came from Budi. Be the cause of the problem.

With sadness, I went into the room. He slammed his butt rough into a chair not far from the window of his room. My eyes looked straight out the window.

"Why did all this happen? Am I really the cause of all the trouble in this house?" ask yourself.

"No! You're not the cause, Budi."

Budi gasped in shock as Yuni's voice touched his ears. He woke up from sitting with a look of dislike towards Yuni.

"I'll help you and your family."

"Come with me!" yuni said again.

"Wait on! Where are you taking me?"

"Follow it! You'll know where I'm taking you."

Without much thought, Budi immediately followed Yuni's steps.

"Close your eyes!" yuni said while touching Budi's shoulder. Budi did what Yuni said without a single question he asked. For the sake of mom and her sister, Budi does not negotiate much anymore. All Budi had in mind was, the people around him were not hurt just because of him.

"Open your eyes!"

Open your eyes quickly. He looked around him who felt familiar. It's still in his room. As it turned out, Yuni had not taken him anywhere. The proof is that they are still in the same room without shifting a single step from that room.

"This .... "

"Yes, we're not going anywhere. We're still in your room."

"Then why are you asking me to close my eyes?"

"Look around you, is there anything different, Budi?" ask Yuni.

"Nothing" said Budi lazily without regard to his surroundings. He thought Yuni was working on it right now.

"Look around you!"

"For what?"

"To know something."

"What do you want me to know, huh! It's still in my room. The same place I see every day. You prank me, I won't be fooled again."

"I'm not fucking you. I'm asking you to close your eyes, because I want to take you to a different realm. This place is the same, but the dimensions are different." Yuni explained carefully.

"You mean?" Start to look around him. He was starting to feel something different now.

"I'm taking you to a different realm. Nature that you can see invisible creatures with your human eyes."

Budi did not respond to what Yuni said anymore. He began to catch the delicate creatures that were wandering outside his window. There are various creepy forms that are outside his house at this time.

Budi suddenly felt horrified when he saw a creature that was right in front of his window. The creature had a blackish-red face. Just like a face that had just burned with fire.

"Oh my God!" He spoke in shock while closing his eyes with both hands.
