The Bridge of Satan
The Real Reason
Me and the food and class search team had already collected a lot of food from the entire class on the 2nd floor. We feel proud and smile cunningly because we can take the food we like now. This is the thing we dream about when we go to the stall to buy snacks and other food. Unexpectedly living and living here made our wish come true, but this was not worth what happened!. You knew! how can I think this when I'm dangerous and one of my friends is dead!.
"Well let's go to the fruit search team!... eh? what's with your face Dawn?" said Wawan who looks excited after having a sack of food in his sack.
"Ah, no. It's just that I thought of something outrageous. Let's go downstairs and get together." I said.
Then we went down the stairs and came to Anis and Lilis who were near the wild ripe bushes. But strangely they look like they are crying..and...why is Agus there?. Where is the Grace that goes with Agus? why do they look sad? my hunch says something bad happened. Me and the class search team immediately approached them while carrying a bag of food on our backs.
"Hey! what the hell is going on! why are you crying?.." said I who felt uneasy because I saw them crying and Agus who came home without Grace.
"Religion... Grace is dead!.." said Lilis who looked sad and held back her tears to sleep fell to the ground.
Those of us who heard that Grace had died were shocked. I unknowingly released the sack of food I was holding and fell silent. I really can't imagine that one of my friends is going to die again any time soon. I'm really pissed! very upset with me! and I instead vent my anger to Agus who teamed up with Grace to search for the corpse.
I pulled her collar up to make her stand up, "Why are you still alive!? did you leave Grace alone and let her die!" I said with great anger.
Agua was silent until he finally replied, "Do you want me to die too? do you think it would be better if two of your friends died at once?" agus said that made me speechless.
His words kept me quiet and left me unable to do anything. I'm so pissed! I am so angry and hate myself! I always blame myself for the suffering and death of my friends. I knew we had done nothing wrong, we just wanted to be together and laugh.
But seeing our friend die and disappear from my presence and also his smile. Making our hearts broken and eroded, what more when I remembered our promise when we finished fighting and blaming each other. Promise me we'll stay together and get out of this place together. But what is this!? the cruel truth said something else and took the lives of my friends.
"That's them sir." said Grace who had just come to the forest sari along with Pak Budi while carrying the corpse of the back.
"Thank God they're still safe.but why does the atmosphere look like that?" said Mr. Budi who saw us in wonder.
"Huh, it looks like they're fighting again, for some reason. Let's get to them, sir.hey guys! i'm back!" shout Grace to us from the forest.
Hearing the voice of Grace calling us, made us speechless. We thought that the voice of Grace calling us was a hallucination of our grief. Even her voice sounded soft from usual which was always loud, and she kept calling us from nature there.
Grace was upset that her call was not answered and they were still fighting. It irritated Grace and dropped the corpse and immediately approached us. Maidservant! so Mercy until suddenly he hit me who was pulling Agus' collar and as a result I and Agus bounced down.
"Hey stop fighting!" said Grace who looks upset.
Those of us who saw Grace coming home without the slightest injury to her body could only stare dumbly. It made Grace frown her forehead and become confused. We pause for a moment to look at Grace who is still alive and currently in front of us.
Agus and I immediately ran towards him and fumbled at his body.
"Is this true grace? not Grace is a thing, right?" I said to Agus who also fumbled the body of Grace to make sure he was a ghost or not.
"True..this is really Grace, the proof is that we can still hold his body" said Agus who looks relieved.
Grace looked annoyed and disliked as we fumbled her body and she immediately used both of her hands to strangle us. His face was red and looked extremely annoyed, it seemed like he was now really intending to kill us.
"What's the matter with all of you! explain!.." said Grace.
"Hahhh... So like that.. Then why did you run away from me Agus?" said Grace while holding her head and holding her anger back from coming out.
"I-that's because I'm afraid." said Agus who made everything amazed. Because we know Agus is a brave person from a long time ago and I as a friend from childhood also very well know that Agus is a brave child.
But everything has changed since Zilan died, that fear and trauma started to grow and make it this way. Agus the brave becomes a coward, even if compared to Wawan the most timid. Agus still had courage in him.
"Then... the voice of the bushes chasing us...? what's?" agus was curious.
"Oh that." said Grace who suddenly Pak Agus came while wearing a gas mask full of mud and made us shocked and shouted.
"Now Mud monster! aaaakkhh!" shouted Wawan who became possessed.
"Hey relax! he is Budi Sir! he's alive right now!" said Grace that made us silent and surprised. Then Mr. Budi removed the gas mask from his head and showed us that he was really Mr. Budi.
"Mother is alive!?" my words are shocked and feel happy that Mr. Budi is still alive today.
"Yes, you have not met with all of you yes." said Mr. Budi who stretched out his hands to ask in the hug.
"Sorry sir, we can't hug you because your clothes are full of mud and blood." said Anis and we nodded in agreement.
"So that was Mr. Budi yah. huh.." murmured Agus.
"Huh, you are so sad, even though the father and Grace have brought the body for you" said Mr. Agus who again made us surprised.
"His words are not fitting to use, sound very ambiguous" muttered Bagas.
"Where did you get 4 bodies at once?" said Wawan who looks amazed, even though it is not something that must be admired basic crazy.
After that Mr. Budi explained in detail how he could get the 4 bodies to us and also told us about himself who was trapped here from a month ago. Not only that, Mr. Budi also told about himself why he went over the bridge.
The reason Mr. Budi crossed the bridge was because of a trivial thing and made us shake our heads. That is in short because Mr. Budi lost a bet when on the day of the gathering the teachers bet in a game and the losers will be challenged to cross the bridge of the devil. Actually not only to be challenged through the bridge alone, actually they are still curious and do not believe that the bridge will take someone who passes through it to another world and will never be able to return.
Because Pak Budi lost the bet and had to pass the bridge, inevitably because Pak Budi there was a man, and a man had to keep his promise. So Mr. Budi went over the bridge and while the other teachers noticed Mr. Budi who passed the bridge.
The same thing happened like us...
"Budi Uncle! why go into the woods!? it's back soon!" yelled Pak Yono who looked panicked to see Pak Budi continue to walk straight into the forest in the middle of the fog until finally Pak Budi disappeared.
"Sir! Budi Sir! no kidding! hurry back!" shouted Mr. Bowo but Mr. Budi did not return after passing the bridge even though they had waited long enough in front of the bridge. The incident occurred at night when all teachers have finished work inputting student value data.
Because none of them would cross the bridge to help him. Finally they closed the case from everyone and kept quiet for a while until finally some villagers realized that Pak Budi was never seen. That's when the teachers plan to take advantage of this moment and spread rumors that the possibility of loss of Mr. Budi for going across the bridge.
Then the reason was finally accepted by all the villagers because there was also a similar case as the disappearance of people when passing the bridge. Until making the news passed so quickly to the entire village and believe that the disappearance of Pak Budi was caused by crossing the bridge of the devil. That's why Mr. Budi is stuck in this place like we are today.
