The Three Chosen
31. Ghost Rides

The discovery of the bodies of Marco and Ocit in the rented house occupied by Lilian and Marco made an uproar. Many rumors circulated that said if Marco and Ocit died because of being a fallout of black magic embraced by someone.

Not wanting to dissolve in various allegations of ‘nyeleneh’ residents, Lilian also decided to move from the house and look for

new residence. Faiq and Hendro also helped find a decent place to stay for Lilian.

“ If only Lilian had been married, certainly would not be swamped rich that is Iq..,” said Hendro while staring at his back

Lilian who disappeared inside the special boarding house for the woman she rented.

“ Mean Lo...?” asked Faiq pretending not to understand.

“ Well, at least he's not alone facing it all. There is a Husband who will love him when his likes and sorrows. If you are rich in kasian gini I want to see it..,” sahut Hendro.

“ Lo kasian, but Lilian ordinary. She was comfortable with her single status. Not because he's

salah, but she was traumatized by the marriage of her parents that ended tragically.” said Faiq.

“ Will Lilian be alone forever Iq...?” asked Hendro curious.

“ Ga Kok Hen. There was a faithful man waiting for Lilian. He did not dare to go forward because it was blocked by the blessing of his father Lilian who did not like to squirm Lilian happy. now Marco has died. That means Lilian's path to happiness is wide open. Let's wait for the happy news from Lilian. Hopefully he doesn't forget to hang us at his wedding

later...,” said Faiq with a smile.

“ Thank God, I'm glad to hear it Iq. Lilian should be happy because she deserves to be happy.

laughingly.

“ Yes, yes. I hunted his car. Ashar hunt nih...,” said Faiq to make Hendro aware and

immediately drive the car towards the television office of Friend.

Since that day, residents no longer see the ghost of a woman in a pink dress who paced on the sidewalk waiting for her son. The spirit of Nihana has gone and returned to the lap of his Lord quietly.

A few months later Lilian ended her long life. He married a man who longed for his love. Their wedding was lavish and attended by many people. Lilian also invited Faiq and Hendro as guests of honor. From a distance a pair of eyes seemed to shed tears of joy witnessing the happiness of Lilian and her husband. Faiq nodded with a smile as the owner of those eyes smiled at him.

“ Who's Well..?” shera whispered as she saw no one in the place her husband had seen her.

“ Mama Lilian Bun...,” said Faiq while hugging the waist of Shera with a friendly.

“ She must be smiling happily again Yeah Well.” guess Shera.

“ Right Bun. He was present to give blessing to Lilian..,” said Faiq while tightening his hand and took Shera step into the building where Lilian's wedding reception was held.

Three young children, Boy, Gen and ten-year-old Han, were standing in front of an empty field while observing their surroundings. It was late afternoon in the Maghrib. The three then opened the door made of zinc and slipped inside quickly.

“ Safe ga..?” ask Boy.

“ Safe...,” Gen and Han say together.

The three turned their bodies and looked at the expanse of the playground filled with several rides that attracted their interest.

“ Wow is great. It's strange why a place this good doesn't open again. It is quite close from home, so we do not need to invite parents if you want to come here.” said Boy enthusiastically.

“ Right Boy. So what people say if here haunted to lie yes. The proof is fitting in We can even squirm various arenas of play..,” Gen said no less enthusiastic.

“ Did you say mulu. When do we want to try the rides of the game if standing here aja.” chirps Han resuscitate Boy and Gen.

“ Can still be played ga ya...,” said Boy while pressing the on button on top of the engine drive bianglala.

Suddenly the lights turned on, the vehicle moving with beautiful music that made Boy, Gen and Han laugh.

Then the three try to play all the rides of the game on the land, traveling from one vehicle to another. So excited to play, they do not realize if it starts to get dark. They are hypnotized to play there. Moreover, the lights on the land began to light up by itself and illuminate the entire playground with attractive colors.

“ Uh, We try this kora-kora yuk...,” take Boy while sitting in a boat that looks like a swing shaped

that big boat.

“ Ga want ah, fear...” reject Gen because it sees no safety or hook in there that can withstand

body so as not to fall when the boat starts swinging later.

“ Gapapa, very scared anyway.” force Han while pushing Gen's body into the kora-kora.

“ Ga want Han, I wait outside aja..” Gen said while looking for a way out.

“ Just calm Gen, no danger. Exclamation section if you don't try it all right..,” persuade Boy.

Gen screamed and tried to get out, but Han had turned on the engine driving the kora to make Gen undo his intentions. After turning on the engine, Han jumped into the cora and sat down casually laughing at Gen who was trembling in fear.

Gen started crying when he felt that the kora-kora swing was getting faster and starting to get out of control. He tightened his grip on the edge of the chair he was sitting on while closing his eyes for fear of falling. Meanwhile, Boy and Han laughed loudly while mocking Gen who had almost fainted.

Shortly thereafter an electrical short circuit caused all the lights on the game vehicle to go out

instantaneous. The atmosphere on the ground became pitch dark. Luckily Boy, Gen and Han can still see in close range thanks to the help of the crescent moonlight up there. They stared at each other with confused gazes especially when they were inside the kora-kora. The more stressful power goes out when the position of the cora-kora is half swinging upwards and the three children are on the top with the position of the body half bent following the gravity of the earth.

“ Kok dark...,” says Han.

“ Continue how is it...?” ask Gen while crying.

“ Udah dong nangisnya Gen, now We have to find a way out of here..,” sahut Boy.

“ Yes, but how. We're on top, how it goes down. I can't see anything, wrong stampede instead fall down the danger.

Boy and Han fell silent. They realized that what the genes were saying could have happened.

“ There are only two options, get off or want here until morning.” Han said firmly.

“ Get off. I don't want to be here any later. Besides the dark, did you hear any strange sounds approaching

here..?” asked Boy with a trembling voice.

“ What sound Boy...?” ask Han and Gen together.

Sepi no sahutan. Gen and Han called Boy's name over and over again but there was no word at all. A moment later they felt a liquid running over their heads. As they looked up to confirm what liquid was flowing through their heads, both of them were startled and immediately screamed.

It turned out that Boy's body was on top of them in an inverted position and without a head. And that runs through Han's head

and Gen is the blood from Boy's severed neck.

From behind Boy's body is seen a long-haired head without a body floating in the air. The head with the sinister face smirked towards Gen and Han to the point of making the two shocked. So surprised the grip of both was released and the body of both slid down quickly and hit the ground. Han and Gen also died. They were killed on the spot with bones crushed and a head ruptured.

After the three young children were killed, suddenly the lights in the entire game rides back on. Flickering flickering accompanied by blaring music. All the rides appear to move as if celebrating the death of Boy, Gen and Han.

That day Iyaz and Izar were playing football in the schoolyard. There is a class match held at the end of the semester. Iyaz and Izar took part in representing their class against other classes. Their class has managed to break into the opponent's goal with a score of 4 – 0. Audience cheers echoed in the school grounds as

Izar again managed to break into the opponent's goal to successfully add to the score for their class.

The sound of a whistle sounded the mark of the match ending. The joy of the team in the class Izar was seen when five people who managed to score were paraded around the school while wearing a cardboard hat on their heads. Iyaz, Izar, Helmi, Leo and Matheo seemed to laugh at getting such treatment from their classmates.

After being satisfied around, they took a break on the fourth-grade terrace while discussing the holiday that was in sight.

“ Plan to vacation where natalan tomorrow Math..?” leo asked while looking at Matheo who was both Protestant.

“ Papa went to Opa's house in Manado there. Actually I'm lazy to go there, but how else. Papa same mom

will be furious if I do not want to come with.” said Matheo reluctantly.

“ Wow exciting dong...,” says Leo enthusiastically.

“ Ck, exciting what. There I was told to take care of my op who had started senile. Can't go anywhere

because all day at home.  That's why I prefer it in Jakarta, let's go everywhere but can still meet friends.

“ You can't talk rich Math. You should be grateful you still have Grandpa even though you are senile.

Try to see our other friends. There are even those who did not meet with Grandpa Grandma because they had died.

“ Yes, Izar is right. Papa means Mama You must be good, because ngajarian Son to remember the same

his parents were successful though. You will be rewarded by Allah for making your Opa happy. Even though he was senile, but his heart knew that his Son and Grandchild came from far away specifically to entertain him.

Matheo, Leo and Helmi nodded in understanding. Soon a group of sixth graders passed by

before them. Iyaz, Izar and his three friends pulled over to make way for their upperclassman.

“ Where there is a rich game rides..” said one of the sixth graders.

“ Ck, if you get proof yourself will not believe..,” said other students.

“ As I recall there used to be a playground there. But don't know why it's closed and it's not operating anymore.” said one student.

The group of sixth graders walked further and further away from the front of the fourth grade. But the conversation of the sixth grader attracted the attention of Iyaz and his four friends.

“ What kind of games do they talk about.?” tanya Iyaz did not understand.

“ Maybe they mean the game rides near the Post Office..,” Leo said.

“ Emang there is a game vehicle, not that it is just empty land huh..?” ask Izar.

“ Not Zar. Once there was built a playground, there are several rides there. The ticket price is cheap and quite entertaining especially if the pocket money is mediocre rich Kita. I also had a few times to go in there and try the game. Pretty exciting kok...,” says Matheo.

“ Time anyway, kok I do not know yes..,” said Iyaz and Izar together.

“ But the place is closed now. Don't know why...,” by Helmi.

“ But sometimes there are children who are idle trying to get in there and playin rides that are there you know..” said Leo.

“ Keep how...?” ask Helmi curiously.

“ He said, those who enter there can not come out alive..,” said Leo while shuddering to make his four friends look at each other with fear.
