Chapter 66 Pocong Baper

Dira has been removed from the motel in an unconscious state. The girl sat tied up in a dark room. There was a long table with ten empty seats around it. There was no one here except her who was now looking at a giant frame from a photo of a woman posing in a kimono in all-black clothes

Shortly afterwards, a few footsteps approached. James and Icha opened the door. The shadow of the two was like a black silhouette which then one of them took a teapot, then poured it into a silver cup. It was Icha who pushed him right in front of Dira.

"What do you want from Dira? Release Dira now? Dira did not expect, you who thought could be a good friend, it turns out you are evil!" said Dira.

Icha can only sob.

"Drink first, Ra," Icha pinta while thrusting the cup of water to Dira.

"What makes you do this vile? Why did you kidnap Dira like a gini?" tanya Dira tries to avoid drinking from Icha.

James just cleared his throat then sat right on the other side of the long table where Dira was staring at him.

"We just want our parents to live again" James said.

"You believe in this female demon? You guys were tricked!" exclaim Dira.

Brak!

"You don't know. You and your pretentious family will feel the consequences!" hatch James.

He got up and approached Dira. He touched the girl's cheek and wanted to kiss her but Dira refused by turning her head.

"You can't be so confident, Ra! It's not you I've wanted to have all this time" whispered James as he glanced at Icha.

James held onto both of Dira's cheeks and pressed them firmly. The shadow of James' treatment of Icha's parents is vivid. Make the girl glow. Dira did not think that the young man he had observed closer was very cruel.

"Your staff, James! You killed your own parents, even you slept with your own mother, you're crazy!" peekik Dira's.

Plaque!

A powerful slap landed on Dira's cheek until it left a red stain from the young man's palm. Icha stared in disbelief.

"W-what, what does all this mean?" ask Icha.

"I'll see Nyi Queen first. You were here first, Ca. Take care of Dira and do not forget to drink this so you can calm down," James said pointing to the gold teapot on the table and then out of the room.

Icha nodded then wanted to gulp the water but Dira forbade.

"Don't drink! Listen to me first, Cha!" dira Pinta.

"Alright, Ra. I can't see you like this either. Moreover, see Mia tortured every day to beg to die. But this is all I do for my parents" Icha said.

"Mami Miranda you mean?" Dira floated a smirk on his face.

"You're being fooled, Cha! Fooled by your own brother. Oh wait, the adoption sister. Or can Dira say, James's a collector's boy?"

"You know where, Ra?" Icha approaching.

"Dira really does not want to make you regret all the actions you have made so far. But, you should know, Ca."

Dira then says all his visions of James. Icha tries to deny and not believe. However, what Dira said was all reasonable and appropriate. Dira also asks Icha not to drink anything given by James

...***...

The door of the dining room was open.

"Icha, help me clean the baby!" James' voice echoed from the outside door.

"Infant? Baby from where?" ask Icha.

"The villagers next door just gave birth. Nyi the queen took this baby from there, ", James said.

"Oh, so."

"Have you drunk that water?" ask James

"Already, Dira has also been drinking," said Icha lying.

"It's good that way. Come on, come with brother!" take James.

Icha had turned to Dira who was staring at the painting with a blank look. The girl then follows James into a basement. The room was exactly told by Dira. There's a room where his father and mother have been held captive all this time. However, when there are no bodies they Icha can find.

The baby's body was lying on top of a white shroud. Beside him was a water filled with seven flowers. There was a sharp knife neatly arranged there as well. Icha knew that she had to skin, clean the baby's body, and shed her blood which must have begun to blacken into a golden cup.

"Sister stay, yeah. Brother wants to prepare Mia Ma'am first. We'll take care of Dira. Soon we will meet with mami and papi," said James as he hugged Icha from behind and gave a kiss on the girl's head.

Icha told James.

"It looks like I decided to get out of this game. I don't think Dira deserves to be finished. I'm sure if this continues it will ignite a deeper dispute between all of us." Icha saw a black mark on the baby's thigh. The same sign that Dira told me.

James momentarily fell silent, before moving to grab the glass around him, pouring the silver teapot into the cup. James gulped it in one puff, the hissing sound of enjoying a glass of concentrated water was heard throughout the room. He also gave Icha to gulp it down.

"We can't stop here, my dear sister. Remember, this is all for the sake of mommy and papi," said James gave a kiss on the head of Icha and left.

After making sure James had climbed the stairs from the basement, Icha spilled water from inside her mouth. He did not drink it according to Dira's orders. Now, Icha believes that what Dira said is true. The girl fell down next to the table. He wept over the body of the baby which he believed was his sister. Moreover, he also wept over the fate of his father and mother who had been finished by James. Icha bit the tip of her shirt so strongly that no one heard how bitter her cries were.

...Connect first, yeah....
