The Keeper Of Watu Parang

"Panic Ruins Everything"

==========

She stood up, she who reminisced Javanese traditional clothes stood in front of me.

Am I the only one who saw it?

Or my father saw it too.???

She sings with a melodious mumble, my father spontaneously looked at her.

Hmmm.. my dad can see it. So what kind is she?

"Dad"

"Shhh"

Dad told me to shut up.

My father and I are just silent at this time.

She paced back and forth in front of us.

I explain to you what I saw.

She has a very beautiful face, long black hair that flows down to her waist, as well as jasmine flower decorations in her hair, wearing Javanese traditional clothes with white tops and brown batik bottoms. She looked stunning, she wasn't old and she wasn't too young either.

"Splash"

Then...

The place that was originally empty in front of us, is now available with lots of food on banana leaves.

Grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, fresh vegetables, chili sauce, and drinks are provided in the jug. Items used

Everything is still traditionally made of clay.

Don't know where it came from...

I was just silent watching it happen suddenly in front of my eyes.

I glanced at my father, he just smiled and gave an impression of respect to the batik woman.

And soon the woman disappeared from before us.

Hmmm, what does that mean?

"Well??, what does that mean? who is she?"

Dad took a piece of the grilled thigh and devoured it.

"She's the keeper of this place, son. And before we go home, we have to eat all this food"

Daddy ??

Go home???

Haven't had time to hunt yet.

"All of that???, well, we're going hunting, and why do you eat that food when you don't know it's real or just an illusion. And that woman, if the keeper of this place, you know from whom?"

Dad was silent, then took a piece of grilled chicken thigh and put it in my mouth. Spontaneously I want to speak, silenced for a moment.

Hmm. But it tastes good too.

My father and I devoured all the food that was in front of us.

And.

Finished.

Because he was full, he couldn't even stand up.

where's dad? was beside me.

"Come on, let's go home!"

"Aaaa!!!! Dad just surprised me, why did we go home? we haven't hunted yet!"

My tone was a bit high just now because I was surprised to see dad suddenly appearing.

Immediately my father took my hand and walked away.

What happened, and why I also don't understand this incident.

Tonight I'm loading again.

We walked home, by the same road.

Over time I realized, something is a little different.

The round stone that I saw before entering the cave earlier, I have seen it almost three times and passed it.

"Dad.!"

Dad just kept quiet and kept walking.

I continued my journey, and I saw this stone for the 4th time.

I stopped for a moment.

"Dad!"

"Dad, Daddy!"

He just kept quiet. And don't look at me.

"This is the fourth time we've gone down the same road... Dad!!!"

He was still silent and frozen not looking at me.

I removed his hand from mine. And I approached him.

"Dad!!!"

He was silent and silent.

Makes me angry... this is if you don't listen to what I have to say.

"Dad!!!"

I approached my father and turned to face him.

And suddenly my father turned his back on me.

I swear... Weird.

My father was still frozen in front of me.

"Yes...My Son"

Then slowly dad turned his body towards me.

"Dad, what the hell..AAAAAAA!!!!!"

I fell backward for a moment to see my father had no face, aka flat.

Which means he's not my father.

I slide backward quickly.

Then he descended on all fours he chased after me.

I haven't had time to stand up yet because it's still hard to turn around.

He's getting closer to me

"Don't look at his face son!!!"

I heard screams from a distance, so I wouldn't see his face.

It must be Dad.

There's a chance when I can stand up now, I turn my body and

"Aaaaaaaa"

My legs were grabbed by him, I was dragged on my stomach. My hands are hot from rubbing against the sand, and the small rocks on this road.

The faster he grabbed me, the more pain I felt in my hand.

I was taken to a very dark place in the bushes.

"Ughhhh"

I was dropped hard under these bushes.

I saw my hand bleed from the scratch that appeared when I was dragged by it.

Hot, it hurts. There are some small stones and thorns that are still left in my palm. I took them one by one, and yes you know it hurts.

I have to do this, I try to stay calm.

He's not down here, he's the straight face gone. Then why did he put me here, I can easily escape.

I curled up and leaned against a medium-sized tree that was below me. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

"Awan, Awan where are you?"

I decided to summon Awan.

"Awan"

He never came to me.

where's dad? How could it be confused with him... was it because of the food.

I don't know what time it is.

Heavy eyes made me lose with my unwillingness to sleep, slowly I closed my eyes and everything darkened... deep into the darkness.

***

I squinted, as the bright glare of light tried to penetrate my eyes.

My vision is still blurry and blurry.

Where am I...

I'm trying to remember what happened... until I get here.

Under the banyan tree is big, not big... but very big.

Right edge, left edge, in front of me are all steep edges. You could say the abyss.

Where am I...

I inhale slowly and exhale slowly.

I look around, this place is foggy. I can't see clearly.

Where's dad.

Is he okay?.

I remember last night, the creature that carried me pulled me into the bushes.

A faceless, flat-faced creature, and ughhh don't let you imagine it.

I think this place is different from the place where I was taken last night by that creature.

Then where am I now?

I know for sure last night I fell in what kind of place, in a bush and slightly wet ground. But this is different. I sat leaning under a very large banyan tree, and the place I sat was a rough rock.

"Awan, Awan where are you..?"

I tried calling Awan, but still no answer from him.

It wasn't long before I heard a melodious murmur from around me.

I think I'm familiar with this matter.

As expected, this is the same mumbling the night my father and I met her. She's the Keeper of the place.

I looked around and saw her also slowly coming out from behind this banyan tree.

Her look was different this time, she had her hair curled up and was wearing an all-green outfit.

She just smiled at me and didn't say a word.

"You are safe here, don't be afraid"

the voice buzzed in my mind.

It hurts a bit to hear that voice.

I looked at her, not long after she disappeared.

And suddenly it was in front of me.

right in front of me...

She gave me a code for me to extend my hand to her.

I reached out my hands to her, hands still covered in blood from last night's scratches.

She took my hand and clasped it together with her hand.

Cold I felt my hands join her, and strangely again there was a gleam of light coming out of the gap between the two of us.

After a while he let go of my hand, my eyes still glued to her face. Unknowingly my tears were falling on their own, I turned my gaze and saw my hands.

Impossible...

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

But what I see now is, my hands are back to how they were before. No minor scratch marks at all, everything is smooth and clean.

She grabbed my chin and lifted it. Until I finally saw her face again.

The finger of her right hand walked towards my forehead, then after that, she tapped her middle finger on my head three times.

I closed my eyes for a moment, I don't know why she did that to me.

I don't know why I just want to close my eyes.

After that the sound of gurgling water was heard by me, the chirping of birds followed after that.

"H, Hey, open your eyes!"

I think someone called me just now.

"Hey, H open your eyes"

Someone indeed called me, I opened my eyes slowly and again I was surprised by the arrival of Awan who was suddenly in front of my face and was glaring at me.

"What the hell, Awan!"

I'm annoyed with him again.

"Hey, realized.. where have you been... and suddenly appeared here!"

I looked around and this was indeed a different place from before.

This is the place where my dad and I had dinner that night.

"How did you get here?"

I asked Awan about it.

"Because your father was confused looking for you since 2 days ago! you just showed up here

Now I'm not surprised if it's been 2 days since I've been missing, it's a normal thing now if that happens.

I stood up and walked over to my father, he looked tired from his movements.

"Dad! "

Dad quickly turned around and looked at me.

Without a word leaving his lips, dad ran towards me and hugged me tightly.
