The Forest Behind the House
3. Trance again

Irfan. He knows what he said was wrong. But, the curiosity of what happened made his heart unsettled.

Meanwhile, Budi kept trying to remember what happened so he fainted.

"Don't force it, Ibud. If you can't remember, then let it go. Don't listen to what your sister says" said Mama.

"Yes Budi. If you don't remember, then don't remember. Maybe it's better not to remember than to remember but it's scary" he said.

There is no answer from Budi. He just remained silent without a word with sweat soaking his body. His hands clasped tightly. Budi's body suddenly stiffened with bulging eyes.

Mama and papa realize that Budi is not good. Mama walked quickly to Budi who was sitting while sweating coldly.

"Don't, Ma!" Papa prevented my mother's intentions quickly.

"Why, Pa!?"

"Maybe it's not a Gudi."

"What the hell does papa mean?" ask Irfan confused.

"Don't ask too many questions. Quickly pick up Mr. Bujang, take him to our house."

"Sir Bujang? Mr Bujang who lives at the end of the village?" ask Irfan getting confused.

"Yes" answered papa briefly.

"Quick Irfan! Don't worry anymore" said my mother.

"Y-iya ma. I'm leaving now."

***

When Pak Bujang got to Budi's house, Budi had lost control. His body was detained by some residents so as not to run amok and get out of the house.

"Sir Bujang fast! Please my son sir," said the mother with tears approaching Mr. Bujang who was still in the doorway.

"Good Miss Nunung. I will try to help" said Mr. Bujang.

"Smit! You don't have to interfere in my business!" he said in a high and heavy voice.

The voice does not belong to Budi. That voice is also not the same as the voice of Budi when he was first possessed. Budi's voice this time was tall and heavy, more like an old man.

Mr. Bujang ignored the voice. He continued to walk forward to Budi who was lying on the floor.

"Smit! You really don't want to listen to my words? Don't you love your pet?" ask again.

"What do you mean?" ask Mr. Bujang started to falter.

"Steel. I know you have a pet. And you came with your pet too. He's on your left right now. Aye right?"

Mr. Bujang was silent for a moment. He looked to his left side. Mr. Bujang seemed to be talking to someone. But not speaking directly. He just uses a signal.

"Who are you really?" ask Mr. Bujang to Budi.

"Don't mess with me. I don't like being played."

"If you have knowledge, why should you ask? You can find out for yourself who I am," said Budi while smiling casually but impressed very scary.

Be talkin. However, his eyes were closed and his hands clasped tightly together. His hands and feet were also held by the residents.

"Don't say much. Tell me what you really want? Why do you possess the body of a child who has nothing wrong with you" said Mr. Bujang.

"I told you, if you're really smart, you figure out what my goal is."

Mr. Bujang's frustration is now increasing. He felt that he was being played by a creature that possessed Budi's body.

In addition to being upset, Mr. Bujang was also embarrassed by the words of the creature. How not? The creature challenged him blatantly. Where to be heard and seen by the citizens again. Who is not ashamed to try?

"Cursed creature! You can play me!" said Mr. Bujang a little screaming because of annoyance and shame.

"Ha .. ha .. ha .. ha .. You said what Bujang? I'm a cursed creature? Are you not aware of what you are saying? Aren't you afraid of petting your pet?" ask Budi while continuing to laugh out loud.

"Shut up!"

Mr. Bujang can no longer resist his regret. He nodded very hard. Strikingly, there are other residents who are aghast because of surprise.

But unfortunately, Budi is not Budi. He wasn't surprised one bit. Let alone feel shocked, affected in the least not. He didn't even stop his laughter.

"Get you out of this boy's body!" said Mr. Bujang while massaging Budi's feet hard.

"Aagghhhh. You're a brash Bujang. How dare you hurt me" said Budi, grimacing in pain.

"Get out!"

"No way!"

"Get out I said! Out!"

"Aggghhh sick .... "

"If you don't want to go out, it will hurt even more" said Mr. Bujang a little proud.

"Don't be happy you're Bujang. I am not ka .. lah. Agghhc .... "

The groan made Budi's body droop. Perhaps, the refined being that possessed his body had already come out along with those long groans.

"Take him off. That creature no longer exists. He's gone" Mr. Bujang told residents who helped hold Budi's body.

"Is that really Mr Bujang? What if he comes back and runs amok if we let go of this body" said one of them.

"will not. He had already left and did not dare to return again. As long as there's me, then you don't have to worry."

They also release their grip from the body of poor Budi. The body looks a bit bruised due to tight grip residents. In addition, Budi's skin is white. The red color is so clear.
