KALIYA (THE HAUNTED DOLLS)
Chapter 1

The cold peak is now getting colder after heavy rain flushed from noon to afternoon. Now only leaving a small speck adorning the trip home Malvino family who had just returned from their parents' home in Bogor.

This holiday they took the time to visit the parents' house from Malvino after a long time Malvino and his small family did not visit both parents because of the busyness. All of you invite Sandrina son of Malvino from the results of his marriage with Andara, for a walk.

The little family seemed happy after spending a vacation in Malvino's hometown and an excursion to a tourist spot not far from where Malvino's parents lived or Sandrina's grandparents. Now they are back in the capital, considering both Malvino and Andara have to return to work after taking a few days off.

Sandrina who sat in the back seat rubbed the glass window of the car covered with rainwater vapor, while watching the rows of stalls lined up along the road. The traffic jams make their journey quite slow, the vehicle looks solid creeping until often Malvino stop driving a few minutes waiting for the car in front of them to drive back.

Netra Sandrina caught something that caught her attention. A doll stall among the stalls lined with coffee shops or a restaurant on the side of the road. Sandrina was tired of lingering in the car because she was stuck in traffic, but now her lips reviewed her smile when she saw the doll stall.

" Mom, Pap. Let's go down first, I want a doll. " Sandrina got up from her seat and bent her head between the seats of the front car.

Andara frowned, astonished at Sandrina's request. Because they are in the middle of the journey, Sandrina may ask for a doll when stuck in traffic like this.

" Later we buy when we arrive, " said Malvino while tapping his finger on the steering wheel, feeling annoyed waiting for traffic jams. Sometimes he glanced at the watch, feeling that their time was wasted quite a lot in this area. The day is getting dark.

" I want it now ! " whimper Sandrina.

" We're on the road again, baby. There is no doll shop here, wait a little longer we just bought, yes ! " persuade Andara while stroking the hair of her daughter who is only seven years old.

" There is also a doll shop. Let Mommy see. " Sandrina pointed towards the window. Andara and Malvino followed Sandrina's small index finger.

After Andara was sure the words of her daughter were true, she turned to Malvino while smiling in surprise. Because on the side of the road like now there is usually only a restaurant stall or coffee shop.

" Oh yeah, let's step aside first if so. Papi also wants to find a public toilet. You can wait in the doll shop while choosing the doll that Sandrina wants, " said Malvino who always spoil her daughter.

" Okay, " said Andara.

" Yeeey, fun, buy a doll ! " Sandrina seemed excited to cheer and applaud.

Their car pulled over. Malvino, Andara and Sandrina are down. Malvino searches for a public toilet while Andara and Sandrina enter the doll shop Sandrina showed.

Upon entering the store stall, Andara felt a chill run down her face. His nape was instantaneous as his feet began to climb the small orange tile. Your gaze circled around, he frowned seeing the shapes of dolls neatly lined up in the wall cabinets felt so ancient models. In addition to the doll that looks old, the design of this kiosk also looks old like a few years back. The lighting also uses a chandelier that is not so bright. Until the doll that lined there was not funny but looked a little spooky.

Andara just think positive, maybe the store owner has not had time to renovate the building and maybe this store is a gift shop for children.

Andara followed Sandrina who was busy choosing dolls. Sandrina's eyes seemed to be looking for something as if she wanted to find the most special doll. Even though at home, Sandrina already has a large collection of dolls of any shape. Of course an old doll like this will not make her interested.

" I want this one ! " Said Sandrina pointing at the doll.

Andara turned in the direction indicated by her daughter. In your heart, the doll Sandrina chose was nothing funny - it looked even more sinister than the doll that lined every shelf in this store.

" Are you sure you want this doll? Don't choose the animal form or maybe find a stuffed pillow,,, "

" I want this one ! " Sandrina looked intently at Andara with her index finger pointing towards the doll earlier.

Andara slightly gasped at the voice of her daughter who was a little loud just now. Sandrina is not usually like that. If he wanted to and Andara did not allow it, Sandrina would just whine to be bought instead of snapping at him like now.

" But you already have this kind of doll, aren't you trying to find another one? " ask Andara carefully to make sure that Sandrina chooses the right doll. Because he already has this type of doll at home.

Instead of answering, Sandrina instead looked at him more sharply with a little growling.

" O-okay, we bought that one. " Look at the expression of Sandrina like that, making the fur of Andara's hair more bristling. Andrina also dizzy looking for the shop owner who had not been seen before. At first he thought the store owner was serving other buyers, but Andara only realized that this store was very quiet. No one goes in to look around let alone buy. Andara did not realize that because ever since she set foot in this store, there are things that are not usually felt by her. Until he wasn't paying much attention around.

Andara dizzy looking for the store owner, while Sandrina already seemed fun carrying the doll in her choice earlier.

Tap !

Someone patted Andara on the shoulder, making her surprised instead of playing. Andara also turned her body, in front of her now stood a middle-aged man with a pale face and a blank look.

" I'm sorry sir, I'd like to buy this doll. " Andara immediately thought that the man was the owner of the store.

The man just nodded and showed a price bandrol that had been separated from his doll.

Do not want to linger, Andara also immediately issued several pieces of money worth the nominal listed on the bandrol.

After that, Andara immediately pulled Sandrina's arm away from the doll shop with a bad feeling. Youara felt a lot of weirdness that he found in the store earlier, but he tried to brush off his feelings. Maybe at this time he was exhausted so what he felt was unusual. That was how he thought to calm his heart.

Malvino was already in the car when Andara and Sandrina finished shopping and intended to return to the car.

The road is so much smoother than before. Until they immediately decided to continue their journey home that had been delayed.
