Sound of the birds crying.
Kanita opened her eyes and saw the blur image of the ceiling. She took a few breaths before she looked to her right and saw the window. Then She got up and sat. The view became crystal clear, she knew she was in her bedroom.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUNdsCKuaj
“What's going on?”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9rrZr5whe
She touched her head, then she was reminded of last night. Ghost! She met a ghost! No, they were two ghosts!80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFtSTeRwaA
“You got up,” the voice of Aunt Dari appeared with the food trolley.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkj1smpnEk
“This house is haunted,” Kanita jumped to the floor and said. 80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddNTibkmNs
But Aunt Dari seemed to ignore her words. She pushed the trolley near the bed and stated, “Here is your breakfast.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAuBR0zEAc
“I don’t eat. I’m going to leave,” Kanita said. Then she opened the cabinet and collected her dress to put them into her suitcase.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVjHBg1Ohw
“Payment is no return,” Aunt Dari exclaimed.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vFpVOmIoC
“You take it.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BPP66GEgO
“You have to fulfill your staying-days.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrLVcc5rad
“I don't care. I don't stay. I leave today. Now!” Kanita yelled. 80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbQTJima2e
After collecting all stuffs into the suitcase, she carried it out of the room and walked down stairs.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF7IHDbI6C
In the yard, Mok was standing next to the car. He was surprised to see Kania holding a suitcase coming to him.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH9df6cI0Z
“Take me to the airport."80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsszwAK0PLG
“Why?” Mok said with eyes open.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw1I66rjEY
“I want to leave. I want to go back to the US."80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ73UVqKEMM
Hearing it Mok hesitated. He looked at Aunt Dari who was standing at the front door. When Aunt Dari gave a signal to him to follow the needs of the female’s guest, he opened the car's door then went to sit in the driving seat.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZnYJaDi5c
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAll2GGeMrY
On the same way, Mok drove the car silently. Next to him Kanita was sitting, she was mute either. Her eyes looked through the window, her body was normal but her face showed that she was still scared. 80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX0FgaBVJ5
Later on, she noticed something not right. 80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGvBjqnpJK
“I think we passed here at the last moment,” she said.
Mok nodded, “Correct.”
“Are we lost?”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ2NIbBtQP
“No.”
“Then why?”
“We cannot go if they don't permit it.”
“Who are they?” Kanita shrank her eyes.
“They. They don't want you to leave so you cannot leave.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEaMTZqYf8
Kanita shook her head, “No, I want to leave. I must leave,” she said. “Stop the car.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi6OSaDVOF
Mok reduced the speed till the wheels stopped moving. “Miss, you should go back. We cannot defeat them,” he told.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitVL1QBiTe
It was scary to hear that, but it made Kanita angry as well. She knew who he referred to; however, she thought she could not let them win. She left the car and took her suitcase out of the car and walked off. Because the road mixed with land and stone, it was difficult but she did not want to lose, so she tried to drag her luggage.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbezbyDRGs9
Along the road, there were a lot of big trees. They were staying still but at once there was a wind coming and touching the leaves of the tree - creating a sound which was like someone was laughing.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5yc8tPiSX
Kanita heard it. Her spines started to have a chill, and without knowing why a drop of tear down on her face. Her heart was beating fast. Though she tried to be strong. She used her back of hand to clean the tear. At this time, she was scared and she was angry as well. How could she end up like this? In a crazy creepy place, she should not choose to come here, she thought.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXrZ9K5k5S
Because she tried to pull the suitcase, her hands became red and hurt. She paused her feet to take a rest and she took a look back. Surprise! She saw Mok was standing next to the car about five meters away from her.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ueJALaRWJ
“You followed me?” She said.
Mok shook his head, “No, I didn’t.” 80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh3vHaG1Qy
“What do you mean?”
“You might think you were going far, but in fact, you were not.”
Kanita narrowed her eyes, her face became pale.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFDicrrKLp
“I recommend you to go back. You cannot leave if they don't allow you to leave. I don't want to scare you but I want to tell you the truth that they were pulling your suitcase while you moved, that's why you did not go far.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44xdtcRyx1
Kanita opened her eyes when she heard it. Her head was in a chill and her furs stood up. She thought this driver wanted to scare her, but as she looked through his eyes - it showed he said honestly.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkhgNkDhmL
At that time, the wind blew and it was strong. Again, the laughing sound came through the wind.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXbpXO5Qmy
As it happened like this, Kanita had to admit she was defeated. She allowed Mok to carry her suitcase back to the car, she allowed herself to walk into the car, and she allowed Mok to drive her back to that scary house.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu41AKDm2P
What a loser! 80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFmaOk4oQj
But how could she beat the inhuman?80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73s7rCW4IR
Along the way, Kanita sat in the seat silently. She was worried as she thought about what she would meet during her stay in that house, especially alone at night. 80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLpmWrxj16
“I know you are scared,” Mok said.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSodz8qWK5
Kanita wagged her head hearing it.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuckIwGnPa
“You should go to Aunt Dari. Listen to her and follow her then you can survive.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHxO8Y6Jzi
It was not what she wanted, but after thinking for a moment, Kanita nodded.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrQtIaFRCU
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2JqwEkZMl
At the front door, Aunt Dari was standing there. It looked like she knew that they would come back.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPLmZm8mks
Kanita got out of the car and walked slowly with her head low towards the front door. As she got near, Aunt Dari stated, “Breakfast is cool. Let me reheat for you."80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mh4XZzdUb
With silence, the young lady went to wait in her room.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhGGhIA7nF
When Aunt Dari brought the food, Kanita ate quietly. Unlike yesterday, Aunt Dari stood in the room, but she didn’t speak anything.
“I’m scared,” Kanita said and at that moment a tear dropped over her cheek. She wiped it and sobbed.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYsA2kdgmD
“I told you not to go out after 6pm but you did not listen to me,” Aunt Dari said.
“I did not know. You did not tell me clearly.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVyJTvho6N
“I cannot tell you everything. But I already reminded you about the rule of this house.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOSOYtleje
“What should I do now?' Kanita looked at Aunt Dari with tears in her eyes.
The old lady took a breath. She was silent for a few seconds before she stated, “You cannot escape because you broke the first point of the rule. You have to be strong and stay here until the end of the five days.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLRwAhYkBk
“How can I?”
“There is only one way.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK77xUJYgt
“What is it?”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlFDdp7xTY
“Two words - don’t care.”
Kanita watched the elderly speaker as she needed more information than this.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZym49rYuU
“You will meet many things. However, you must not care; everything needs to be invisible to you.”
Perhaps there was no choice; hence, Kanita nodded and took a deep breath before she continued eating.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV0DeH2Zr9
After the breakfast was finished, Aunt Dari took the trolley out and Kanita stayed in the room alone - for the whole day.
In the evening, when Aunt Dari and Mok were about to go, Kanita got out of her room to stand at the front door watching them leave.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZSfTf4vXj
Before getting into the car, Aunt Dari rotated to look at the young female guest for a bit. Through her eyes, seemed to be telling the girl, “Be strong.” And Kanita heard the message.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjywOJpu11B
