Dull Cloth
Ishana woke up from her sleep, and slowly the girl began to open her eyes.
The girl began to feel the table beside the bed where her body was lying.
"Arhhh why isn't it there anyway." The girl said when she didn't find the item she was looking for while stroking her throat softly.
Yes, the girl was looking for a glass of water that she expected to be on the nightstand beside her bed.
Finally, the girl decided to get up from her bed and started walking out of the room towards the kitchen.
The girl walked with a stagger.
Her consciousness had not fully returned.
The house was very quiet and dark.
Ishana, who was initially ordinary, suddenly began to feel goosebumps when she saw her surroundings.
The girl felt like someone was watching her from afar.
Ishana began to stop her footsteps when she heard the sound of footsteps that seemed to be approaching her.
Although a little scared, Ishana ventured to look toward the source of the sound she heard getting closer to her.
Happpppp
Ishana immediately turned her body around, but the girl found absolutely nothing there.
She didn't see anyone at all.
"I think I heard footsteps earlier." The girl said.
"Is it just my feeling?" Said the girl continuing her words.
The girl sighed softly.
Finally, the girl began to continue her steps back and forgot about her feelings earlier.
When she started to reach the kitchen, she suddenly heard footsteps again.
This time, the sound was louder than she had heard earlier.
Ishana began to feel scared, her body getting goosebumps.
As she scanned her surroundings for the footsteps, a strong wind suddenly began to blow, making her hair stand on end.
The girl began to break out in a cold sweat.
"Aska? That's you, right? Don't play games Aska, I don't like this kind of thing." The girl said.
There was no answer at all.
The girl looked around again, but there was no one there.
"Aska, please don't play games. I don't like it. I won't forgive you if you don't show up right now." Said the girl with a voice trembling with fear.
"No, it's nothing, it's just my feelings. You can't be afraid Ishana." The girl said to herself.
Trying not to care about how she felt, Ishana quickly poured the water from the bottle into the glass that was already in her hand.
Just as Ishana was about to take a step, she was suddenly startled by the sound of a loud crash approaching her.
It was the sound of an object falling to the floor.
Quickly, Ishana immediately looked for the object.
Finally, Ishana found a round object wrapped in cloth.
Ishana began to reach for the object.
"What is this? Who threw it?" the girl asked confused as she continued to observe the object.
Out of curiosity, Ishana finally got the courage to open the package.
When she managed to open it, she slowly spread the cloth used to wrap the soft object.
Yes, it was just a soft object, not a stone.
Ishana was a little surprised by the color of the cloth,
Why was it so dull and there was a red tint to it?
Slowly but surely, Ishana began to see that the red color on the dull cloth was a sentence that managed to frighten Ishana.
In addition, when Ishana realized that the writing was made with blood stains.
Quickly, Ishana flung the cloth away from her.
Ishana's legs felt stiff.
Her legs were now no longer able to hold her weight, so her body began to wobble, and almost fell to the floor.
But...
Before Ishana's body touched the floor, fortunately, Aska managed to support Ishana's body.
"Ishana, why are you suddenly like this?" Aska asked when she saw Ishana's suddenly weak body and the girl's tears.
"Are you sick?" Asked the man again.
Ishana shook her head slowly.
The girl's gaze was blank.
"Then what happened to you? Did you just see a demon?" asked Aska who was still joking with Ishana.
Ishana who heard Aska's words again burst into tears.
The girl stared fixedly at Aska, then turned towards the shabby cloth that was already on the floor.
The girl pointed her index finger at the cloth for Aska to follow.
Aska began to follow Ishana's gaze.
The man frowned as he saw a dull cloth on the floor.
He reached for it and began to read the writing on the cloth.
As Aska began to read, the man's eyes bulged and he looked back at Ishana.
Ishana burst into tears and immediately hugged Aska's body.
"I'm scared, I'm so scared Aska. What should I do?" The girl said while continuing to hug Aska's body.
The girl cried behind Aska's body.
Aska slowly began to raise her hand.
The boy looked hesitant to return the girl's hug.
He was not sure whether he should hug the girl or just leave them like this.
However, after fighting with herself, Aska finally decided to return Ishana's hug.
The man stroked Ishana's head gently and hoped that he could make the girl a little calmer.
"You don't need to be afraid, it's nothing, it's probably just a prankster who wants to play a trick on you, don't be afraid." The man said while continuing to stroke the girl's head.
"But. that writing, that writing is really real Aska. She even wrote it in blood. I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will take care of you Ishana. I won't let them hurt you. I won't let anyone get you hurt." The man said.
Ishana who heard the man's words began to release her hug a little and looked closely into Aska's eyes.
"You promise?" Ishana asked the man.
Aska nodded her head slowly.
"I promise, I promise I will always look after you and never let them hurt you. The man said as he looked at Ishana with an intense gaze.
"I will guarantee your safety Ishana, no one can hurt you, because you belong to me."
