Midnight Foot Step
Chapter 19 - Trying to Let Go

Dance and Siska flabbergasted. They did not expect in the dormitory there was a story that dark. So surprised by the story, Tari and Siska to ignore the terrible words of Mr. Hasan and Bu Rima.

However, behind the shock they felt an increasing anger. Dari and Siska do not accept if the spirits of innocent people are victimized. They do not know about the problem, it is very unfair if now also bear the consequences.

"Mister Hasan's actions are wrong! We did not take part in the case, but you took revenge on us" said Tari bravely.

"really. Mr. Hasan's revenge is out of place. Since then, you have talked about justice, but your attitude is contrary to that. You take revenge on innocent people, that's not true sir!" timpal Siska's.

"Non fault you say?" Mr. Hasan stared at Tari and Siska in turn. "Bringing rules and meddling in people's affairs, is that what you mean by innocence?" continued.

"The attitude of the Father invites our curiosity. You walk around the dorm every night, freaking us out with the sound of your steps. In addition, the demons that you worship also disturb us. Now, who's more guilty?" answer Dance.

"Shut up, don't talk too much! You don't know how painful it is to lose a child. So, don't be smart. I'm sick of hearing it!" Mr. Hasan glared sharply. Arguing with Tari and Siska made her even more furious.

"Already sir, don't mind their talk. We better just go, we've been here too long" said Bu Rima.

Mr. Hasan smiled obliquely. Then lean over and speak right in front of the faces of Tari and Siska.

"Good up here. Wait for the night to come and all those ghosts will bother you. No one can help, you'll stay here and be scared to death. After that, you'll be their men and hang out in the dorm."

After saying that, Mr. Hasan and Ms. Rima both laughed. It was as if the fear of Dance and Siska was a real joke.

Then, they stepped towards the door and were ready to leave the room. Dari and Siska were surprised, then both of them compactly shouted at Mr. Hasan.

"Take us off sir! You will be punished if you lock us up here. It___"

"You think I'm stupid and let them know where you are?" cut Mr. Hasan quickly. Then continue the steps.

"Sir! Let us go, sir!"

"Sir, don't go! Sir let us go first sir!"

Dance and Siska kept shouting, but were ignored. Mr. Hasan and Ms. Rima kept walking away.

When he arrived at the doorway, Mr. Hasan stopped for a moment and turned to look at Dari and Siska.

"Yell as much as you guys, if necessary until the throat is broken," said Mr. Hasan.

A moment later, he stepped out and closed the room. Miss Rima was with him too.

Now, there is only Tari and Siska in the room. The atmosphere suddenly gripped after Mr. Hasan's step was not heard. The wind gusts not only ambushed the nape, but looked real around them, moving the curtains and flying the gray incense marks. Whether it was the real wind or the work of invisible creatures, which clearly Tari and Siska creeped because of it.

"Ri I'm afraid of Ri" said Siska.

"Relax Sis, we can definitely get out of here" replied Tari.

Immediately after Tari closed his mouth, they faintly heard the clattering of steps that were getting closer and closer.

Dari and Siska looked at each other, then smiled widely. They were glad that someone was coming.

"Please! Help me!"

"Please! We're locked up in this room! Help us!"

Dari and Siska shouted with all their might. But, up to a few seconds there is no word from the outside.

"Please! Help me!" yell Dance even louder.

However, instead of getting a speech, the sound of the footsteps disappeared.

"Where are they?" gumam Dance.

"Is that not Mr. Hasan's move?" guess Siska.

"No way. Mr. Hasan was only alone with Bu Rima, while that was his voice a lot. Even if there was Mr. Hasan, he must have come with some people. They should've heard our voices, but___"

"Don't they be so arrogant?" siska quickly.

"Ohhhhh!"

Dance and Siska were screaming hysterically. They were very shocked because suddenly the door opened itself, while outside there was no one.

"There is no Ri" whispered Siska.

"Maybe .. aaahhh!" Dance back screaming.

The door that had just opened wide, now closed itself. The movement is very fast, until it causes a loud bang. After that, the atmosphere went back to silence. There was no wind or wind.

In the midst of a suddenly calm atmosphere, the fur of Kuduk Tari and Siska increasingly bristled. Their eyes stared jelly to and fro because it felt like someone was watching. But, no. Just their feelings.

"Ahh," grunts Dance. He was tired of being in this position. Experiencing things beyond reason and being gripped by deep fear.

Now, Dance closed her eyes while calming her mind. He threw away all bad prejudices. After which, his hands that were tied behind him tried to find the end of the rope. But, failed. The end of the rope was under the neck and it was unreachable to his fingers.

Because her efforts were unsuccessful, Tari turned to look at Siska.

"Sis, can you reach the end of your talent?" tanya Dance.

"No. My hands are behind, while the end of the rope is at the side" Siska replied.

"Which side?"

"It." Siska replied while looking to the left, staring at the end of the rope around the waist.

Dance smiled hearing that. He found a way to get out of there.

"We must work together to release this rope Sis," said Tari with passionate enthusiasm.

"How is it? Only my fingers can move, it's limited." Siska confusion.

"We should close. Later, I'll take off your tali. Once you're free, replace you who took my clothes off." Tari explained the plan that had been arranged in his brain.

Siska was silent for a moment and digested Tari's speech.

"It's a good idea" he said moments later.

After being sure to understand, Tari and Siska began to carry out the plan. But because the legs are tied to the calves, then they cannot move freely. Just relying on fingertips to stomp the floor, and it was extremely draining.

But they didn't give up. With hard work and extra patience, the slowly seat they sit in can shift.

"We can definitely Sis, a little more," said Tari with a breath of breath.

"I will try harder" said Siska.

Although the sweat had flooded the face, but he was not discouraged. Especially after seeing the distance with Dance getting less and less.

When they were a few feet away, the chair was suddenly heavy and could not shift, as if its legs were embedded in the floor.

Dari and Siska tried harder, but there was still no result. Even their energy is getting drained.

"I'm not strong anymore Sis," said Tari. He was already limp, his head drooping just like that on the back of the chair.

"Don't give up Ri, we can. A little more, come on!" Siska's voice gasped, she ran out of energy and almost fainted.

Armed with a strong determination, Tari and Siska again tried.

"Aarghhh!" scream Dance. He had already deployed the remnants of power, but the occupied seats remained in place.

The same thing happened to Siska. The rest of his power was completely exhausted, but his chair did not shift in the slightest.

Aware of futile efforts, Tari and Siska chose silence. Not giving up, but gathering energy for the next effort. Rather than continue to force and end up fainting.

Outside of their vision, the black and sinister creatures laughed grinningly. He stood in the corner of the room not far from the offerings. His gaze could not be separated from the legs of the chair where Tari and Siska were tied up.
