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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaHIeVRSDz
“What's going on?”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyCT0lRUa5
She touched her head, then she was reminded of last night. Ghost! She met a ghost! No, they were two ghosts!76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE4xQ4AOYy
“You got up,” the voice of Aunt Dari appeared with the food trolley.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeviRA9exB0
“This house is haunted,” Kanita jumped to the floor and said. 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeztuDbqLO
But Aunt Dari seemed to ignore her words. She pushed the trolley near the bed and stated, “Here is your breakfast.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvCjHqU7ae
“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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfXF1NoVUg
“Payment is no return,” Aunt Dari exclaimed.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb519yNbgMK
“You take it.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRGUTjWzfO
“You have to fulfill your staying-days.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9tSPlcb4R
“I don't care. I don't stay. I leave today. Now!” Kanita yelled. 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKzJ4BRlCf
After collecting all stuffs into the suitcase, she carried it out of the room and walked down stairs.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto1oVBSINL
In the yard, Mok was standing next to the car. He was surprised to see Kania holding a suitcase coming to him.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVoQxRHEDN
“Take me to the airport."76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsI9M1JhYn
“Why?” Mok said with eyes open.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwahbKv4cnH
“I want to leave. I want to go back to the US."76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOKDk12SJW
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOf61reon8
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKBKh1IeVS
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. 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFY1UYck5V
Later on, she noticed something not right. 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NWaByqOee
“I think we passed here at the last moment,” she said.
Mok nodded, “Correct.”
“Are we lost?”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDjK8Sv94N
“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.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6xsml4PXm
Kanita shook her head, “No, I want to leave. I must leave,” she said. “Stop the car.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCN7eFNZR7
Mok reduced the speed till the wheels stopped moving. “Miss, you should go back. We cannot defeat them,” he told.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK0Jw3NQNJ
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ZErxWLiE
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp5DgZJHUT
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyulGHKtgXa
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozkrHK7RVB
“You followed me?” She said.
Mok shook his head, “No, I didn’t.” 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOxtAp07FF
“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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGdXAMDprq
“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.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Enj56gtm
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0OEJJqnaj
At that time, the wind blew and it was strong. Again, the laughing sound came through the wind.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQjrJStnhW
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ9ojZ04bO
What a loser! 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Lk556wI9
But how could she beat the inhuman?76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQIOPst2K3
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. 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOppx0j2flL
“I know you are scared,” Mok said.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWnHlhMxe9
Kanita wagged her head hearing it.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggLVc6cjqS
“You should go to Aunt Dari. Listen to her and follow her then you can survive.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoqPSjyWCK
It was not what she wanted, but after thinking for a moment, Kanita nodded.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKanh9foozJ
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj873ZmASVx
At the front door, Aunt Dari was standing there. It looked like she knew that they would come back.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOqHBARzZi
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."76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1OHjcJXPx
With silence, the young lady went to wait in her room.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCerpBNoww
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvnpK6qHxJ
“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.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo3z74D0k5
“I cannot tell you everything. But I already reminded you about the rule of this house.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ6bd767OS
“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.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9STardLQMS
“How can I?”
“There is only one way.”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j5ZVB9wKW
“What is it?”76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtzFX9Jej
“Two words - don’t care.”
Kanita watched the elderly speaker as she needed more information than this.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51rKHR3WTL
“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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7qbE62qqk
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYBsup2QkS
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.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTwtBFd9wM
