The Three Chosen
340. Many Victims
From the gate of the boarding house seen Fatur and Iyaz who approached them because they saw the beating done by Faiq earlier. Faiq's explanation made them startled and then stared at Memed intently.
“ Better hand over that thing now..!” said Fatur while thrusting his palm towards the Bloody Memed.
“ But I've ga stole it Sir. I found it in the fish pond when I tidied up the garden. I do not know if the object is dangerous..,” said Memed while looking down.
“ Save your explanation later. Now hand over the thing...,” said Fatur again.
“ But I can't take it off Sir. There was an antique collector who bid at a high price. And I agree to sell it tomorrow..,” said Memed riled.
“ Do you want to let everyone including you die in vain because of your greed. Just so you know,
the demon in the boarding house is angry that you stole her prized possession. He threatened to kill everyone who ever entered the house including You and Us here.” said Faiq annoyed to make Memed surprised.
“ I will hand over the object because I do not want to die silly..,” said Memed while removing reddish orange egg-shaped stone from behind his jacket.
All eyes stared in amazement at that thing except for Memed and Abi Qiana who had seen it earlier. Memed handed the object to Faiq and then moved away fearing that Faiq would hit him again.
“ Now We can end it all immediately..” said Faiq.
“ Right Nak. And you take them away from this house immediately.” Fatur said as he stared at Memed and abi.
Qiana alternated until making the two nod.
“ The house I live in is empty because My Wife is coming home. May I take them there because they may not find a place near and decent on a rich blind night gini.?” ask Memed.
“ That's good. However they are also your responsibility, so you should have come to think of a temporary stopover for them.
The clock shows at two in the morning when Fifi and his friends came out of the boarding house with a large suitcase containing their personal belongings. Memed took them to his house and left them there. After making sure the condition of the twelve residents of the boarding house was fine, Memed returned to the boarding house.
There was a fierce battle between Faiq and his family with the red dragon demon and his army. Apparently they came early and wanted to finish off everyone who was there because they were sure Faiq would not be able to find the thing he was looking for.
Outside the gate was seen by Ratih, Qiana and her ashes were watching the battle closely. Seen
the anxiety on their faces watched Faiq and his family battle with something invisible. Only the sound of the wind, the moving leaves and the falling objects could they see as proof of the human battle with the supernatural creatures that were in front of them.
Suddenly Faiq and his family retreated along with a way of jumping backwards. It was then that Faiq showed me the thing he had picked up from Memed earlier.
“ Enough !. This is what you want. Take this and go now.!” faiq lantang said.
Again, a whistling sound was heard. Simultaneously the red dragon demon army stopped their attack. Faiq threw the object in his hand at the dragon demon who greeted him with joy.
The egg-shaped stone floated into the open mouth of the dragon and caused a luminescence of rainbow colors as it fused with the dragon demon. Strangely the luminescence of the rainbow light could be witnessed by everyone there including Qiana and her ashes.
The red dragon demon smiled at Faiq and his family while the ghost army that was with him seemed to retreat regularly and docked towards the red dragon demon. Momentary
then they disappeared together and left a puzzling silence.
“ It's finished Opa..?” tanya Iyaz was confused.
“ Continue how the same residents of the boarding house that has been evacuated Opa...?” tanya Izar did not understand.
“ That's best for them because this house is not worth occupying. Kasian if they stay here because of the strong mystical weather makes them always shrouded in danger.
“ If they are safe, it means we can go home to rest, right?.?” Izar asked while looking at Faiq.
“ The accuracy of your intention will not be granted yet Nak. Try to look inside there...,” said Faiq.
Inside the boarding house, a ghostly figure with an incomplete form appears to stand sculpted in the middle of the room. The headless ghost, with only one hand and no legs, seemed to float around the inside of the house as if looking for something.
“ Him Who's Well..?” ask Izar.
“ He's the original owner of this boarding house. He died as a result of neglect to undergo the terms of the pesugihan he embraced. His spirit
the haunting brought him here because this house is the location where he underwent the conditions specified in their agreement.
“ So what Pak Memed has done all this time is useless dong Yah. The owner died..,” said Iyaz.
“ Mr. Memed just forward the habits of his employer. Mr. Memed's mistake is naro offerings in a certain corner as if inviting supernatural beings to gather here
“ So the ghost of the owner of this house that disturbed the workers the other day Well..?” ask Izar.
“ Yes Nak..,” sahut Faiq.
“ That spirit will be trapped there forever as punishment for neglecting to live out his deal with
devils. This house will be dangerous if it is occupied by someone else who is not the owner. You can ask Memed how many fatalities fell during his guarding this house.” said Fatur surprised everyone.
Memed who stood in the doorway bowed his head because he could no longer twitch. Then flowed a dark story from Memed's mouth about the house entrusted to him.
The owner of the house named Rohan is an old friend of Memed's. He comes to see Memed and asks Memed to take good care of his old house because he will move to another place. Rohan tells Memed to fix the house in a certain period of time. In return Rohan transfers some money to Memed every month. Rohan also invited Memed to stay in the house so that Memed did not need to spend money to contract the house as long as he worked for Rohan.
But unfortunately Memed feels uncomfortable living in Rohan's house because it is always disturbed by various appearances of subtle creatures. Finally Memed decided to contract a house not far from the house.
When there were people who were interested in renting the house, Memed accepted it with pleasure. Rohan was also happy because he got extra income from renting his house.
But even the strangeness happened. The tenants of the house experienced mystical disturbances until they were sick and even died. Memed never told the next tenant what happened to the previous tenant. Until the victims continue to fall.
Then the house is no longer rented by people because of its unattractive shape and color because it looks more strange after being renovated many times. No one was interested in renting the house until finally Ratih came and proposed to make the house as a boarding house.
“ Since Rohan died, this house is no longer rented. I just keep the house and renovate it
sometimes because that's Rohan's last message. I don't know if Rohan adheres to the pesugihan and becomes a victim of the pesugihan that he embraced it..,” said Memed sad.
When Memed finished his story, Adhan Subuh also reverberated. Everyone rushed to the mosque to perform the Fajr prayer.
