POCONG BAPER
Chapter 63. James's Secret

Chapter 63 Pocong Baper

James and Icha take Dira to a motel on Hanako's orders outside the city, near the village of Alamanda. The village where Icha was born. In that village, they believe that soon their parents will be resurrected.

"So don't want to see our old house, yeah, Cha. You take care of Dira. Don't let you untie her!" tell James while rubbing his sister's head. Then, the young man lifted his foot and asked the younger brother to lock the door.

"Yes, Brother."

Icha made sure the bond in Dira's hands and feet lying on the iron bed was strong. Icha was tired too. He was with his tiny body that began to grow thin on the sofa. Then, both eyes closed.

Meanwhile, James headed for his old house on the hills. He's riding the delman to the lake. Then, he would walk in for about ten minutes towards an old house.

"Right you get down here, Den?" said Mr. Cabby.

"Yes, Sir. Why the hell?"

"Here's the serem, Den, a lot of the memoirs."

"What time, sir? This is my family's home, sir. I want control of this house because I want to clean for the holidays," said James.

"Oh, that. Just be careful, Den," he said and then drove back his delman horse.

James just smiled as he waved at the coachman delman. When moving to the city, the one-story house with the basement was not for sale. His father made the house as a resting villa when they wanted to vacation in Alamanda Village.

Surrounded by many teak trees and various other wild plants, the villa environment is very beautiful. On the back there is also a lake where the water is refreshing. When Icha and James were small, they often rowed boats to the middle of the lake. Many fish often approach if Icha throws food pellets for them.

James opened the iron fence that began to be unsound. To the people around, the house was just a creepy empty villa. They often hear the screams of men and women whimpering for help. But lately only the moans of a woman are heard. Make my feathers anyone who hears so bristling.

The door opened. He stepped in. He saw a large room with an empty couch in the corner of the wall. In one chair located in the middle of the room, a woman was seen sitting and humming while rubbing the protruding stomach.

"Nina bobo oh nina bobo, if not bobo bitten by a mosquito, hihihi."

His echoing voice bounced off the stone walls, making the atmosphere in the place feel much more gripping. The forty-year-old woman looked at James. The woman grinned.

"James, my son," answered the woman in a softer voice.

The look on his face while smiling grin coupled with the deep white eye color was creepy. Hair that decomposed long until the back looked fickle.

James looked at the woman. She sat gracefully on the old chair, while the kebaya and distance cloth she was wearing began to shabby. The lower body is covered with a blanket that looks dangling touching the wooden floor, Icha's favorite blanket.

James could clearly see the sitting position of the woman who was his adoptive mother. From his stomach, it looks that the content now looks bigger.

"I'm sorry, Mih. I had to do this all for Icha. I just wanted to take care of him" James said, stopping for a moment.

The woman was still staring at James with a glaring expression while grinning.

Now, James doesn't even dare to look at a woman's face that looks different from the last time he saw it. The woman who once held him tightly, and embraced him with that affection when he was an orphan.

Dark circles around the eyes look striking, followed by pale white skin with long fingernails. Besides, his body was so thin dry, only his distended stomach was visible which he was constantly stroking. So thin was the woman's body, that anyone could see the protruding bones in her hands.

"So soon this child will be born. The child that I will give to Queen Masako in order to return to Dira's body" James said.

The woman did not respond to James' words. He is like an undead who no longer has a purpose. Since her stepson forced herself to become pregnant, the psychiatric disorder of the woman named Miranda began to be disturbed. Plus saw her husband hanging upside down with incision wounds all over the body. The wound was left gaping as if the fresh blood was indeed deliberately drained soaking the patterned floor of the heretical sect. Slowly, Lord Rama finally lost his blood.

Ironically, James came to this place not only to apologize for all the mistakes and sins he had committed against his family Icha, he said, but he wanted to complete the task given to him from Hanako.

"I'm sorry, Mih. I love papi, and mami. But I love Icha more. I promise to take good care of Icha, I will be happy with her, and no one can hurt Icha" James said.
