"According to estimates, there are still about ten kilometers left and we can get out of this road." Rey broke the silence between them.
"Are there ten more miles of no sign of life around here?" Asked Yura who had started to feel scared by their current position.
Rey shook her head in response. "You can see for yourself on the way to the village there was not a single house on this road. That's why Ms. Asih asked me to make sure that the car's fuel is still available until we get back to the village." Rey said without looking at Yura.
Yura is silent with the thought of wondering how Rey's car can walk back. He felt unsure of getting help seeing the quiet condition of the road without a single person passing there since their car had leaked tires.
A few hours passed, Yura and Rey still chose to stay in the car and hoped that someone would pass by and help them. But what they expected did not happen because until elevenpm no one passed the road where they were.

"The day is getting night. It's not good for us to stay in the car." Rey told Yura.
"I mean Brother?" Yura was able to catch the meaning of Rey's words to her.
"On this road is already increasingly vulnerable if it has entered the middle of the night. From the story that I got a lot of wild animals that roam this street if midnight has arrived." Rey said calmly but in contrast to Yura who started to get scared after hearing her words.
"So how's this, brother?" Yura asked with a worried face.
Rey gazed around at those she could reach and then looked back at Yura. "Look, there's an uninhabited cottage there." Rey pointed to the cottage on the right side of the road not far from them. From what he saw it seemed like the cottage was reserved for the resting place of gardeners who were around the road.
Yura also stared in the direction Rey pointed. "But it's very dark there. Don't tell me that you intend to take me to stay there." Yura was horrified as she said it.
"There's no other choice. At least there we're safer than being in the car." Rey.
"But." Yura's words came to a halt as Rey opened her car door and opened the back door of her car and took her clothes and jacket. "Quick out! I don't want to take any chances if what people say is true." Rey said firmly.
"Sir Rey I'm scared..." Yura said with trembling lips after arriving in front of the hut.
Rey did not comment on Yura's words and preferred to focus on opening the cottage door. After that he pulled Yura's hand to enter the hut. "Don't be noisy." Ketus Rey then directs the flash of her phone around in the cottage. "It looks like this place is pretty safe for us to live in." Rey then closed the door.
Due to the growing fear, Yura chose to hold tightly to Rey's hand as her grip. Luckily Rey let him hold her arm and led her to sit in the corner of the mat-lined cottage.
"I'm afraid." said Yura with a trembling tone.
"Husts. Don't be noisy or you'll make our existence known to them." Rey said slowly. Soon, Yura and Rey hear a hissing sound from outside the cottage.
Yura hugged Rey tightly. "I'm afraid.." said Yura with increasingly tightened her embrace on Rey's body. He felt even more terrified as he guessed what sounds were coming from outside the hut they were occupying at the moment.
Rey tried to calm Yura down by stroking Yura's back which shook violently. No different from Yura, he also felt afraid when he guessed what kind of beast was outside the hut at this time.
Damnit damnit! Why the trip this time feels so gripping. Rey can only curse in the heart. He looked back at his phone and hoped to get a network. And again his hope did not materialize because not a little network that he got other than the power of his cellphone battery is dwindling.
"There's no other choice, tonight we're forced to sleep here." Rey softly said after half an hour passed the hissing sound from outside the cottage increasingly sounded indicating the number of ferocious beasts that were getting out of the forest.
