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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs136ehfYYm
“What's going on?”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTrxuZrEvH
She touched her head, then she was reminded of last night. Ghost! She met a ghost! No, they were two ghosts!86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAWo9oFil8
“You got up,” the voice of Aunt Dari appeared with the food trolley.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p9qO8MLhZ
“This house is haunted,” Kanita jumped to the floor and said. 86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOkLq0UfW0
But Aunt Dari seemed to ignore her words. She pushed the trolley near the bed and stated, “Here is your breakfast.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7DQv0BEQx
“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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ylwni0Sr
“Payment is no return,” Aunt Dari exclaimed.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eFTR2ikKg
“You take it.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzGz7pVcn0
“You have to fulfill your staying-days.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWkFKV4FXf
“I don't care. I don't stay. I leave today. Now!” Kanita yelled. 86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7IjO4XHp9
After collecting all stuffs into the suitcase, she carried it out of the room and walked down stairs.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHTwUGE00t
In the yard, Mok was standing next to the car. He was surprised to see Kania holding a suitcase coming to him.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigqEocxloZ
“Take me to the airport."86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5fLkNv5QX
“Why?” Mok said with eyes open.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUgP5ZSUzV
“I want to leave. I want to go back to the US."86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnJ35WSL4g
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9NxXTpz8N
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI3eUmmwVp
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. 86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhduZjMIY7a
Later on, she noticed something not right. 86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rcbMlGP8o
“I think we passed here at the last moment,” she said.
Mok nodded, “Correct.”
“Are we lost?”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9XinWXDXU
“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.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGXD1SfShg
Kanita shook her head, “No, I want to leave. I must leave,” she said. “Stop the car.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXviFXN8ur3
Mok reduced the speed till the wheels stopped moving. “Miss, you should go back. We cannot defeat them,” he told.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRYIstAQAT
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf8awkdfOK
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUX6nMkdog
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6EE0AmhoL
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPALmtuw3w
“You followed me?” She said.
Mok shook his head, “No, I didn’t.” 86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KCBtuSznG
“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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddhLSzfpJw
“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.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkZg6fDdXH
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjRrRJS05S
At that time, the wind blew and it was strong. Again, the laughing sound came through the wind.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QF1mVbj93
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXCXptHkpo
What a loser! 86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfL9x76LlP
But how could she beat the inhuman?86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEoC8GqrTR
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. 86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabPaPkmvke
“I know you are scared,” Mok said.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DdYzOmHr1
Kanita wagged her head hearing it.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPplqIxcU7
“You should go to Aunt Dari. Listen to her and follow her then you can survive.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3N6n7GLS
It was not what she wanted, but after thinking for a moment, Kanita nodded.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iZ1cf9Flr
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEiiOhZe2A
At the front door, Aunt Dari was standing there. It looked like she knew that they would come back.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6F1RR1fAH
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."86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaPXtAPPBQ
With silence, the young lady went to wait in her room.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Wlu5KjNs
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHrLe5XDLW
“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.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2h3zdf4pr
“I cannot tell you everything. But I already reminded you about the rule of this house.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3FIkAmapc
“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.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENTMxHL50h
“How can I?”
“There is only one way.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwRLfAJh0h
“What is it?”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND7YZl3d3m
“Two words - don’t care.”
Kanita watched the elderly speaker as she needed more information than this.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUJT6eN7VK
“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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZkSTm9v8V
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHnxV0YdpH
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2HWZ4Mboe
