The Secret of Clara's House
Last Steps 02

The forest is so lush that the sunlight is blocked to enter making the atmosphere in it a little dark,,

Until Julia did not see a big hole gaping under her.

Julia fell and fell into it.

But luck was still on Julia's side, so just before her body fell to the ground, her legs were stuck in the root that stuck out.

With great difficulty Julia managed to get down safely at the bottom of the hole that turned out to connect it with a cave door.

With a sense of anxiety Julia began to walk down the dark and moist cave.

*tik. tikk." heard the sound of falling water points echoing in the cave room which is quite large.

Tired of walking, Julia chose to rest and sit on the floor of the cave and leaned her body on a stone that was quite large.

A cold wind began to blow into the cave, until it felt bone-piercing.

Julia immediately curled up hugging both her knees holding back the coldness she felt.

"What have I done, then,?? why am I here??" mumbled wailing.

The dark atmosphere of the cave made Julia not know the time.

Julia slept well.

I don't know how long Julia had been asleep, she suddenly woke up when she felt her body wrapped around something and lifted up from the cave floor.

Julia immediately widened her eyes, looking at the snake's large head, with both red eyes and golden skin shining right face to face with it, while the snake's body coiled and wrapped around Julia's body.

Julia looked fearfully at the snake.

"Are you still intending to take revenge?" a grandmother's voice echoed quietly inside the cave.

Julia was still in a state of shock and fear that made her unable to open her mouth.

Slowly he Isa felt the coiling of the serpent loosening,,

*Sshhh* sounds a scary hiss,,

Julia's body instantly trembled feeling an overwhelming fear.

In just a split second the huge snake disappeared from the sight of his eyes, changing into thin, billowing smoke.

"Ojo Wedi cah Ayu," again the voice of the grandmother but without the form that can be seen by her.

Miss Julia brushed, I want it to feel like she ran, but as if her legs and body were fixated, Julia still did not budge from her seat.

Not long after the disappearance of the thin smoke, suddenly appeared the figure of the old grandmother, her body standing upright with a snake-headed stick in her hand.

His eyes looked so sharp as if they could pierce through his heart.

Julia stared at him unblinkingly, a strange wind swish past Julia's nape. It made the 22-year-old girl shudder.

"Ora need to wedi, ora need to be confused, I will respect your intentions to get revenge"

"Whose grandmother?? how did grandma know??" asked Julia to vent.

"Call me Nini Kalungga, Sing bok gawe necklace, iku hereditary necklace, blood pomegranate necklace, hereditary wealth necklace and interesting aura" said the old grandma while looking at the necklace that Julia was wearing.

Julia felt the necklace she was wearing.

True what Grandma said in front of her, the necklace she wore was indeed a necklace given by the Grandmother of her father's family.

It's just that Julia doesn't know the story of the necklace she's wearing.

Pomegranate stone eyed necklace is red blood, and behind it is written carved Javanese letters like ho, no ,co, ro, ko that he does not understand.

Julia only knew that the necklace she was wearing at this time had come down in the fourth generation, namely herself.

And his father Vishnu Ardhana was the first son of the Ardhana family, while Julia was the first child and first granddaughter of the Ardhana family.

So Julia became the chosen offspring to wear the blood pomegranate necklace.

Necklaces that could not be transferred to someone else, or passed on to the family of his father's siblings.

Pay to wear that necklace Julia doesn't know, either,,

His final turned out to be 2 lives of his younger brother who had just been born by his mother. That's why Julia became an only child.

"The necklace was a covenant between your grandmother and us demons. And you are the last of the descendants to wear that necklace.. Finally the agreement ends also in your hands" he said smiling mysteriously.

"Are you seeking revenge?" ask again.

"Yes Nini" Julia answered without hesitation.

"Are you ready for the price you have to pay to get your revenge?" while looking hard at me.

"Price, whatever I'm gonna pay Nini"

"Do you know what Cah ayu's pay is?" he asked with a strange grin on his lips.

"A.. What is Nini?" nervous Julia.

"Your life, as well as the life of the child in your womb, and another all the souls of the one you killed as an additional sacrifice, are,, the amount you have to give plus your life and your son's life is 13 lives,,,"

"Se.. is that much, Grandma??"

"Yes, so are you sure you can?" his challenge.

"I am capable of Nini" I replied recklessly.

"3 today soak in the middle of the pool in the middle of this cave, if you survive and stay alive, then you will experience the name malih rupo (changing in appearance), and, but if you die while soaking in this place, then only your spirit will take revenge"

Julia was speechless at Nini Kalungga's explanation.

"Do you know Cah Ayu, do you want to back off?" ask her with a thin mocking smile.

"No Nini, my resolve is unanimous, only if I die, can Nini help me to come back to life one more time?" ask Julia.

"Hi. hi. hii, opo you sure want to live again" heard the deafening laughter of Nini Kalungga as well as making the fur of the nudge goosebumps.

The sound of laughter is very terrible more than the voice of the grandmother attached in the television series or the sound of kuntilanak-kuntilanak that is described as sinister in otherworldly ways.

"Nine Sure!" answer Julia.

"I want to meet Robin, I love her I can't die without feeling like she's his wife, by living once again even in another form at least I can live with her" thought Julia who still missed and loved Robin.

A love that does not arrive, which he wants to achieve once again.

"Bisaa, but not living in your old body, you should look for the same container with the same born weton as you, but after you dedicate 13 lives that do not include your life and your child!"

"Why should it be so complicated as Nini, weton? what is weton Nini??" my lament.

"Stupid girl! weton is the day and market of your birth, you were born in Legi Friday, look for the same container that is the girl with the birth of Legi Friday, the union was done in the month of Suro before the Maghrib" explained Nini Kalungga.

"Well Nini, I get it"

"Just go and soak soon, after the third day I'll come to see you!" he said it then just disappeared.

Julia stood up, walking down the cave passage.

A little light penetrated through the small hole above the cave making Julia not too difficult to penetrate it.

Up in the middle of the cave he saw a fairly large pond, and right in the middle of the pond there were two large stones protruding, with Julia carefully down towards the pool.

*sreeettt,, that is,,
