The Deal with the Devil
Chapter 8
The eyes of both were suddenly fixed on a box that was in Erick's arms at that time, both of them staring suspiciously as Erick's hands began to shake while continuing to support the box.
"What's that?" Exclaimed Alma who was one step closer to her daughter-in-law.
"No ma!" suhut Erick with a stiff face and also fear.
But Alma continued to move his legs until he arrived right standing in front of Erick.
"I SAID NO MA!" Erick's snapping with a sudden force made Alma so surprised at his actions.
"Hey what's going on?" reprimand Christian whose face was also immediately inflamed seeing Erick's brazen attitude towards his wife.
On the other hand, Felicia was still frightened by the curled up body.
"Sorry!"
"But, but I've warned you not to get any closer than me!" said Erick once again who can still control himself even though it is far from his heart so scared .
Feeling very upset, Christian takes the box forcibly out of the hand of the son-in-law.
"Discover!" he said with a firm and annoyed face, while Alma was still sitting on the edge of Felicia's bed.
He was still inexhaustible, that his daughter-in-law who just yesterday afternoon was very brave to raise his tone towards him.
Suddenly the atmosphere became tense as Christian began to open one side of the box.
"Please pa! "
"Don't open it." Erick's almost frustrated pinta returned to stop his two in-laws who didn't respond at all .
Increasingly screamed and became when the box was a little more wide open, well Feli now looks like a crazy person.
There was little doubt in Christian's heart when he looked at the innocent face of the princess's fear that had been strained since. It doesn't feel like he can continue it anymore. But from an unexpected direction came Alma who was still shrouded in curiosity so great at the box that had been protected by Erick.
"Srakk!" Now the box has changed hands to Alma.
He just continued one side of the box that was still not open there, his hand quickly grabbed the end of the box until it was wide open. As expected Erick if his in-laws will be very surprised after finding the contents of the box.
Alma violently threw the box until it floated above his head, but there was still an airiness that could not be thought of with Erick's reason. The contents of the box disappeared, and only white pieces of paper were left elongated with the words "Dead you!"
The blackish-red writing overtook a clean white paper containing a terrible message. Still with his tense face, Erick was surprised not to play until he fell back to the floor stumbling.
"A demon!" he moved with panic. While Alma was already in severe shock beside Christian who was hugging Felicia.
Hearing the commotion getting worse in Feli's room, now Nancy decided to go back into the room with a feeling that was also no less afraid.
Still by turning his fingers repeatedly, he saw the condition in Felicia's room.
"Darling, thank God you're okay" said Christian, who tried to grab Nancy's body with his left arm.
Nancy can't believe that Gimbo's delivery has managed to quickly destabilize the entire house. No need to wait a few days, black magic works great on target.
"I'll bring you down and rest in the room." Said Nancy who tried to divert her mind who almost went crazy and dissolved in the atmosphere.
Alma was still walking with Nancy's hand in her bare eyes, the woman was no longer even rude to her daughter.
"Mom.." said Nancy who moved her hand repeatedly in front of Alma's face, but did not get a response from her mother.
"Bi Imah, this out please accompany mama ya!" request .
Imah nodded as she passed carrying a brown tray to put the glass fragments first. The tray Imah put right next to the rice cooker, and has a distance that is still far away with the edge of the table. Not far away he stepped , the tray fell back until it became a small fragment.
"TRANS!" The tray along with its contents decomposed onto the floor.
"Bi, auntie." call Nancy quickly.
"Yes non, sorry auntie wants to clean the kitchen floor for a while." he said in a cringed tone after running.
Nancy understood that the object fell back when Imah had stepped forward a few steps forward .
"Have let me check" he said, then switched from Alma's room after putting his mother in bed.
In that house, only two people remained who still controlled their hearts and minds well. Christian and Nancy, the father and son both have hearts so hard that they are not easily carried away.

"Do I have to call Irene for any of this?" muttered Nancy whose heart was so raging wanted to contact her best friend, she even realized if maybe her words yesterday so hurt Irene.
But, no one knows but Irene about all her crazy plans. This time he was really in a cornered position so he could not speak the truth to anyone.
"Darling.." call Christian who came down carrying Feli and Erick with the same face as Alma. Even Feli's condition was so pitiful, his face was extremely depressed.
"Yes dad." said Nancy.
"Bring your sister into the room, I'll sit down with Erick." she explained.
After handing Feli over to Nancy, Christian now sits down with Erick. He began to speak very seriously to the daughter-in-law who had just become a member of his family.
Christian slightly raised his chin with the support of both hands, he also seemed to think hard. What would he say in a situation like this to Erick.
"Erick!" Christian begins with a firmness, this time speaking without looking at Erick's face.
"Tell me, did before you married Felicia my daughter had an enemy?"
"No pa!" greet Erick with a lethargic look.
Christian stopped saying again while thinking hard. So what did his son-in-law do so Felicia had to be exposed to the sap like this.
"So, or perhaps you've hurt a woman?"
"Perhaps precisely a girl who might have liked you a long time ago, and now she is leaving you with your marriage !"
Christian's words surprised Erick with a flabbergasted look, he never thought that far. How could it be if big brother Felicia would be able to act recklessly for her own younger sibling.
