We Hold Hands

Curse in modern times? There's just this grandfather of mine. Grandpa tells about the curse of a man who has a face full of wrinkles. Well it's only natural that when you're old, even an old woman will wrinkle, but this man was my age when he heard this story from grandpa, still a child. I couldn't believe it, how could it be. It could just be a gene disorder, or a type of ape that was never exposed. However, as I grew older, I experienced it. I mean, it wasn't me who wrinkled quickly, but one of my classmates who claimed to be. Weird, ostracized freak, Galter. Galter who went to school with me, said the same thing as my grandfather said. Even himself who experienced it, very strange, usually strange people will not tell the oddity. How could this handsome Galter be cursed to be an old geezer at a young age. “Don't read too many novels, they affect your mind. Are we in the Harry Potter world?"

I Hope Granpa Has a Plan

I was hit in the head until I passed out. I was unconscious and didn't know whether to turn right or left to rediscover the path. When I woke up, I was already in a house or hut. This place is like being abandoned because it is already very dusty. It's very typical of the villain's hiding places that I always see in movies.

The bad guy reappeared because he realized I was already in a state of disarray. The wicked smiled with satisfaction with what he saw. I don't know how long I've been here, and whether it's day or night now, obviously I know that my phone they took. I couldn't feel my phone that was no longer in my pants pocket.

"Tell me Young Girl, this phone... did you steal it or is this indeed yours?" the villain asked making sure something, and it read very clearly to me.

I didn't answer anything, and the bad guy directly pointed a knife at my neck. I could feel the tip of the knife hitting the skin of my neck. Even when I swallowed my saliva, I could feel the sharpness of the knife that had already hurt my wrist, fortunately, the wound was not deep, and the wound was also dry.

"Answer!" he threatened in a big voice.

"I found it on the street, the phone was about to be returned to me after I showed it to my parents," I replied with fear, I was afraid that the bad guys could open my phone easily, but fortunately I didn't put up my photo wallpaper, just a random photo I found on the internet.

The bad guys are not as stupid as I thought. The bad guy pointed my phone at my face and I tried to change my face by pulling out my tongue so that it would show that I had thick lips. Unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful, and it was a coincidence that a call came in.

"It's a coincidence that someone called Young Girl. Look, it's from grandpa." The bad guy exposed the incoming call, it was grandpa. Immediately the bad guy picked up his phone. "Hello?"

"Who are you?! Why are you the one who picked up the phone?! Where is my granddaughter? Is she with you? Did the phone fall?" the grandfather asked in a worried tone. The bad guys make their voices can be heard big so that I can hear them.

"Is she your granddaughter? The one who has this phone? It's a pity, I need money now. Know what I mean Patua, give me a ransom to replace him with your dear granddaughter. Tell his parents that I am waiting for them near the forest part of the river, it will be dawn tomorrow, don't be late!"

"Heh, indeed you can lie to this old man easily. My grandchild is not that easy to be caught by a stranger, I believe you are just making it up by finding my grandchild mobile phone. You freak. Which police station are you in? I want to take the mobile phone," grandpa said in a calm tone, I knew that when grandpa spoke so quietly, grandpa was thinking.

"Talk!" snapped the bad guy forcing me to speak to convince him. But I didn't talk anything at all, I didn't want to talk, but the bad guys didn't run out of sense by slicing my hand deliberately. "Aaaaaaaaah! Damn it!" I shouted in extreme pain.

"It sounds like a female voice, my grandchild is a boy. Oh, he just came back, see you later."

His call ended directly. The bad guys became upset that the plan didn't work out, while I was still holding my bloody tanga nonstop. The blood is flowing quickly, and I don't know what else to do, it hurts so much, let alone my hands are tied tightly.

"I told you that it's not my phone. Such an expensive phone, one of my dreams, where maybe I refuse to take it on the street," I said screaming in pain, but trying to contain the pain by saying something else that could be more convincing to break free.

"You are indeed right Young Girl. But you're still useful elsewhere," the bad guy said grabbing my hair and making me look up at his disgusting face. "Get ready, we set off tonight."

Night means it is day now. The bad guys go out, I'm alone here, looking for a way to escape. I hope that when grandpa has found a way out, I hope that grandpa prepares the police to track me here, I think my bicycle can be a clue to my whereabouts.

There was nothing I could do but wait, I finally cried after a long time. I haven't cried for a long time because I shaped myself not easy to cry, but to be honest, this kidnapping scared me to the point that I couldn't think of anything else.

"Dad, help me. Grandpa, help me." And so on, I repeated the words without mentioning my mother, in this case, I thought more of the closest person I could think of.

***

There was no help until the evening. The bad guy got me out of the hut and put me in the car and prepared to leave. I feel disappointed with grandpa because until now he has not provided any help. I just resigned myself, especially with my injured hand, I couldn't use my hand because it was still sore.

Not yet out of the woods, the car stalled like it hit something hard. The bad guy came out to confirm what he hit to the point that the car couldn't move forward. But I saw something creepy instead. I saw a kind of creature that directly pounced on the bad guys until the bad guys died on the spot. I was getting more and more frightened, now that I understood why grandpa forbade me to enter the forest, and I regret ignoring his prohibition even though my original intention was good when entering the forest.

The creature's eyes look red after killing the bad guys. I attempted to lock the car door before the creature became aware of my existence, unfortunately, I was late because the creature was quickly already in the car door and opened it slowly. I was sweating with fear, my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest, so scared that I was unconscious until it hooked my nails until it bled.

"Eiryana."

A soft voice, it's Galter if I'm not mistaken. For a moment I looked wrong at Galter, I saw a wrinkled face with furry legs like an animal, in fact, I saw it wrong because I saw a creepy creature in the forest.

For the first time, I was happy to meet a stranger. I smiled but also cried. Galter opened the car door quickly and helped me untie the knot on my hand. I got out of the car and immediately hugged Galter because I was glad someone finally found me.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" I said feeling a little calmer after seeing this person. Although I hugged unconsciously out of happiness, Galter responded instead by quietly returning my embrace by patting me slowly on my back.

"That person is dead, don't be afraid anymore."

Die? Where was the creature just now, where was the creature going? Does Galter meet the creature? I let go of my embrace on Galter and looked at the palm of my tanga, the wound opened and made my hand bleed a little. There was a scent on my blood, and I smelled more of the scent of blood on Galter. Slowly I got back closer to Galter and sniffed the smell.

"What are you doing?" asked Galter uncomfortable with my attitude.

"Your body, there is a deep scent of blood. Did you kill him?" I asked leaving Galter speechless not answering.
