The names of the characters are fictional, to protect the privacy of the writer, family, friends,
and colleagues who were involved in this story.
I can't believe this place.
We have to line up just to get a bowl of noodles.
It doesn't even taste that good. I wonder why?
Why do we keep coming back here?
Do you know?
My friend said this place uses some kind of magic.
That's why even if it doesn't taste good...
It would suddenly taste good.
A lot of people come here.
And they make a lot of money.
Seriously? Your friend must be nuts.
I don't know.
But my friend has the sixth sense.
And can see what other people cannot see.
You still believe in those stuff?
I'm not sure, but she never wants to eat here.
- Never? - Never.
Not even once.
That's interesting.
Well yeah, the noodles don't even taste good.
Have you ever had goosebumps in a place before?
Have you ever felt the presence of something that you used to think was just a figment of your imagination?
Until one day...
You are blessed with a gift.
And then you realize...
That your life has changed, forever.
A gift that gives you the chance to see with your own eyes and realize...
...that this realm does not only belong to humans.
That in this universe, we share the place with other entities surrounding us.
Entities who are close to us.
That painting illustrates Suluk.
It's a ritual where a person goes through a supernatural path to become a higher being.
You see that man up there?
People are worshipping him because he has finished his path.
When will you let me teach you about the history of our culture?
You shouldn't just get a degree on education.
You need to master your culture too.
It's not about that, it's just the logic, Dad.
Everything must have a logical explanation.
Stuff like that would make us think that blackouts happen because of ghosts.
Honey!
The show is starting.
Alright.
Let me tell you a story about a painful loss.
When you listen to this story and start to question if it is true...
...it all comes back to your own judgment.
Do you think this is just fiction...
...or a true story?
For the first time in my life,
there was one thing that made me feel that beauty...
Dad said wearing this amulet can protect us.
...can turn into fear.
Hey! Watch it!
See, this thing protects us.
Ever since that happened,
I began to hate everything related to the other world, devils, and freaking amulets.
My name is Reza.
I graduated from one of the best universities in this country.
A university that is located just outside Jakarta.
A campus surrounded with greenery and big trees.
A campus in the middle of the city's forest.
This story begins at this place.
Why?
Because it's where I met the woman who means a lot to me, even until now.
Wulan.
A woman who loves me very much.
And I love her just as much.
A woman who has made each and every day of my life beautiful.
Wulan.
She was not my first love.
But I'm sure that one day, she will be my last.
Wulan and I completed our studies at the same time.
Our GPAs weren't that bad either.
After graduating, my plan was to quickly get a job so I can marry the love of my life.
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
But it turns out that looking for a job isn't as easy as it sounds.
I understand.
Thank you.
After months and a lot of interviews...
I began to appreciate jobs better.
I also thought that people who have steady jobs must be very grateful.
And finally, after applying to countless places and going through countless interviews...
I got a call and I had to make the biggest decision in life.
I had to move away from Bogor.
Leaving my family.
Leaving Wulan.
Reza Maheswara?
Yes, Ma'am.
I've got something for both of you.
Thank you, dear.
This is for you.
Thank you.
You will love it.
Oh, what could it be?
Mom, Dad.
Yes?
I got a job.
Thank God!
But I have to move away to East Java.
That's so far away!
Can't you ask for a position in Jakarta?
But I feel good about this position.
If they can't place you in Jakarta...
Why don't you just continue your father's business?
If you're certain about it, you can go.
It's so far away.
I've been unemployed for more than half a year.
I feel like I'm being a burden for others.
You saw for yourself how many interviews I went to. This was the only one that called me back.
I know.
I know you've been working hard.
So, what's holding you back?
Nothing, really.
I'm gonna take it.
Mom and Dad said it's okay anyway.
So?
It's you.
If you're okay with it, I will go.
I have always prayed for you to get a job.
Now that my prayers have been answered, why would I say no?
I don't want to be away from you.
But what can I do?
Just like I always do.
I will keep praying for you.
Dad, Mom.
I'll see you in a bit.
Please keep me in your prayers.
Take care, Reza.
Reza.
We got you something.
I'm giving it to you now...
...to make sure that you take it with you. Okay?
Here.
Dad.
Take it. Keep it.
It's for your protection.
No need to, I don't use amulets like this.
This is not an amulet.
You're going to an unknown place.
Take this for protection.
If this is really for protection, my little brother wouldn't have...
I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to.
It's alright.
Whether you believe it or not...
Take it.
Just consider it a gift from me.
Okay, Dad.
You take care, okay?
You should take care.
I have to go.
Don't go.
I will miss you terribly.
Never stop praying for me.
I will come back to marry you so I can take you there with me.
Bye.
Everything was so perfect.
But all the beauty in life was about to change drastically.
As I boarded the train that would take me to a city in East Java...
...the journey marks the beginning.
The beginning of a set of events that changed my life forever.
Enjoy this story.
But I ask you one thing.
Never do what I did in this story.
12 hours later
Hello?
Good evening.
Mr. Indra.
This is Mr. Reza, the new employee.
- You can call me Indra. - Reza.
If you would excuse me.
- Yes, thank you. - You're welcome.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
It seems we're the same age. Are you from Jakarta?
I took the train from Jakarta, but I'm from Bogor.
Oh, I'm from Jakarta.
Oh.
To?
Minto?
This is Minto.
- I'm Minto. - Reza.
There you are.
This is Mr. Dikin, he's the one who helps around here.
- My name is Dikin. - I'm Reza.
- Let me take you to your room. - Okay.
This is your room.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Reza, do you practice magic?
I'm sorry?
Please be careful with sacred items like that.
You might offend someone.
Excuse me.
Mr. Reza?
I'm sorry, the door was open.
Are you alright?
Yeah. We should leave, I'm running late.
Yes, Sir.
- I'll meet you outside. - Okay.
To, where's Mr. Yanto's office?
- You're late. - Mr. Yanto?
Mr. Reza?
Good morning, Sir. I'm Reza. I'm sorry for being late.
Reza.
How is it so far with Mr. Yanto?
I haven't been scolded so far.
He's been teaching me a lot.
That's how it works here.
The work is light, no pressure.
As long as we finish our work.
The living cost is also cheap.
We can send more money to our families.
Imagine if we're in Jakarta, life would be so expensive.
Meanwhile, here, we even get breakfast for free.
For free! Amazing!
And then we have a driver who takes us to work.
And back home again every day.
We don't need to spend a penny.
I know, right. When they told me about the pay...
I couldn't believe that a fresh graduate like me would be paid higher than my friends in Jakarta.
Good pay, huh? What's it for?
Are you saving up to get married?
You're just like Minto.
What else would it be for? I don't wanna be a burden to my parents.
Exactly.
That's why, for me...
I actually like it here.
Except...
Well, except for...
Mr. Reza?
On a lunch break, I see.
- Can I join you? - Yes, of course.
You live with Mr. Indra and Mr. Minto, right?
Yes.
How is the accommodation? All good?
Yeah, all good.
The house is nice, my room is spacious. And it's clean.
I liked it so much that I overslept and came late this morning.
- Eat up. - Yes, Sir.
Your drink, Sir.
- Aren't you gonna sleep, To? - Just a moment, Ndra.
Usually they would score when nobody is watching.
That is the magic of soccer.
Just say that you're afraid of losing the bet.
Whatever.
Was that the painting?
Mr. Dikin?
Are you having trouble sleeping?
I'll see you around.
How could he sleep in a weather this cold without a blanket?
You should shower first, To. Otherwise you'll fall asleep on the couch again.
Why are you guys looking at each other like that?
You saw him sleep here last night?
- I did. - See.
Even Reza saw you.
You slept on the couch last night, didn't you?
That's the thing.
He said he didn't sleep on the couch.
I went to the bathroom last night and I saw you sleeping on the couch.
He said he slept in his room last night.
I did.
Not long after you guys left, I felt sleepy.
So I went into my room and slept till the morning.
You guys are messing with me, huh?
Damn, Za.
Why would we even do that?
I'm gonna ask Mr. Dikin.
I saw him last night too, which means he saw Minto on the couch as well.
There he is.
Mr. Dikin, you saw Minto sleeping on the couch last night, right?
I actually went home when all of you were having dinner.
I went to bed as soon as I reached home.
Mr. Dikin lives behind this house. He doesn't sleep here.
Za.
Actually, I wanted to tell you something about this house.
But we haven't known each other for that long.
It seems awkward to just tell you things.
Tell me what?
Mr. Dikin, you tell him.
You see...
We're not the only ones living in this house.
Meaning?
Other entities are living in this house too.
They are the ones who lived here before us.
We've experienced so many weird things here.
What weird things?
Like last night.
The person you and I saw last night was not Minto.
They would often disguise themselves as the people in this house.
Pretending to be one of us.
That's why the three of us...
...would say hi whenever we see each other.
Just to make sure that it's us.
It happened to me once.
One night, I said hi to Mr. Dikin in the living room.
He replied.
But when I turned around, Mr. Dikin appeared from the kitchen.
How do you explain that?
The kitchen? The living room?
Which one was the real Mr. Dikin?
And then...
Objects would just fly around randomly.
Or switch places by itself.
The worst thing we have experienced...
Sometimes, when it's past midnight, there would be a rotten smell.
It's awful.
And then, soon after...
We would hear the screaming of the night.
A woman.
Screaming?
Like what?
Like... How should I put it?
I would say it's between anger and sadness.
The woman would sometimes sound afraid but also sad.
It's like she's tormented.
Reza...
I'm sorry,
but when I saw the weapon that you brought here...
I was afraid that it would make them angry.
Weapon?
What weapon?
It's from my dad.
He said it's for protection.
Then how do you guys deal with this?
Will somebody answer me?
Well...
I just followed what Mr. Dikin told us.
For me, I followed the shaman's advice.
Advice?
What advice?
That.
I put offerings in my room. Minto does it too.
Yeah.
Madness.
What did that shaman tell you?
What do you mean madness? You can see it for yourself.
We have to put black coffee, cigarettes, chicken blood, and flowers.
We have to replace it every three days.
It's because...
...that's what they ask for.
You guys are the same age as me but you still think like my dad.
You can say that because you haven't experienced what we have.
And if your weapon is really making them angry...
Can't you just put it somewhere else?
At the office, maybe.
That's enough.
We need to be rational. Use your logic.
Don't believe these superstitions.
For every single thing that happens, if we're willing to...
I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation.
I'm tired. I'm gonna go to my room.
And about that weapon, I've heard of it before.
If they're really angry, tell them to meet me.
You moron!
Za! Look at what you did.
Calm down, To. I didn't do it on purpose. Stop being so scared.
Don't come to us when they start to haunt you!
Za? Reza?
To?
You're awake?
}I woke up because of the blackout.
I'm gonna go get a drink.
Za...
That's the screaming I told you about.
Do you hear it too?
Za!
Do you hear it too?
Are you sure that's screaming?
What else could it be?
You guys are here too?
Did you hear that?
Yeah.
It's coming from the backyard. Let's check.
Hey! What do you mean?
Who knows it might be something else, or someone is really screaming for help.
Whatever it is, I'm sure it has nothing to do with your superstitions.
Seriously, Za?
Yes, let's go.
- Za! Za! - Ndra!
Indra!
Indra...
What was that?
Za, let's go back.
See? I told you so.
That's why I told you to stop believing in superstitions. Everything can be explained logically.
The screaming we heard was just the sound of birds.
It sounds like a woman if you hear it from a distance.
Za!
The painting fell.
It's okay. Hold this.
Ndra, let's hang it back up.
To!
To!
That's better.
What's the matter with you?
I see...
That over there, Ndra.
What do you mean that over there?
Hold the flashlight this way, To.
The man in the painting...
...is standing near the kitchen...
Are you for real?
I swear.
Stop messing around.
I'm serious, go and check for yourself.
Hey! Where are you going?
You told me to go check.
- Hey, Za! - Za...
- Za! - Ndra...
Za!
Za!
Za?
Za?!
Za...
Za?
Are you guys worried?
Damn it.
Don't do that, Za!
I really tripped over.
You guys need to chill. There's nothing here. Now help me up.
Whatever, man.
You can get up yourself.
Ndra! To!
I really sprained my leg.
Za...
Za.
Za.
Za.
Hey.
Za.
Finally, you're awake.
Take it easy.
Ndra.
What time is it?
It's 7 at night.
You were out the whole day.
Thanks for helping me.
Damn, you made us worry so much last night.
You were acting scary.
What do you mean scary?
I saw you unconscious last night...
So Minto went to get Mr. Dikin.
The three of us were about to move you to your room.
But then you started acting weird.
Weird?
Like, I don't know...
You were acting like a tiger.
You kept roaring.
Like a tiger?
Yeah, like a tiger. You were roaring and growling.
And then you looked into my eyes with a piercing stare.
I don't even know how you got that strong.
It was so hard for the three of us to hold you down.
Thankfully, you stopped.
And then Minto decided that we must find the shaman.
They are out there looking for him.
What shaman?
Well, a shaman, who understands exactly what all of this is about.
Whenever something weird happens, we would always call him.
Ndra, I was probably exhausted that's why I was hallucinating.
If that happens, I just need...
Can you just shut up?
Damn it.
I have no idea why you're still being stubborn after all of this.
Listen, I don't care whether or not you believe it. Whatever.
Just let Minto and I find help from a person who understands better. Okay?
Hey, do you get it?
Answer me, man.
Za.
What are you looking at?
Stop messing around, Za. What is it?
Hey, Za!
Za, what's wrong?
Za!
Hey!
Za, what is it?
Za...
Reza!
No! Don't!
You're an ass.
Ndra, gosh.
Ndra!
I was joking, Ndra!
Fine, let's call the shaman.
We'll see what he can do.
Ndra!
Ndra!
Ndra, open up, I'm sorry.
I was just messing with you.
You were shouting at me.
Ndra, come on, I said sorry.
Ndra?
Ndra.
What are you doing?
Ndra!
Are you messing with me now?
Ndra, if you're mad then I'm sorry.
Ndra!
Ndra, stop it!
Ndra!
Stop! Ndra!
Help! Help! Minto!
You dare to go against me?
This is my area. This place is mine.
Get rid of your tiger.
We know what we want.
Stop going against us.
Get rid of your weapon!
Ndra, don't!
How dare you go against us?
Ndra! Let go!
Indra!
Ndra!
Ndra!
Ndra!
Ndra?
Ndra...
Ndra...
One, two, three.
- Evening. - Good evening.
Thank God we found Mr. Mustofa.
We wanted him to help us pray for you.
But we had to help Indra instead.
What if he wasn't here?
Is he the shaman you guys were looking for?
No.
The shaman will arrive tomorrow.
This is getting out of control.
They keep haunting us and it's getting worse.
Then why don't we just let Mr. Mustofa help us?
The shaman we called is famous for dealing with these issues.
That's right.
ust trust us.
You've never met him anyway, have you?
Are you sure this is the shaman?
He looks so young.
Keep it down.
Don't be rude. Let's just see.
It's getting cold in here.
- Yeah. - Do you feel it too?
- I'm freezing. - Me too. I'm freezing.
- Something fell down. - What was that?
It smells like incense.
Reza? Indra?
It's like he's talking to someone else.
Did he do this too before?
No, he just told us to prepare offerings.
Reza!
Za...
Where are you going?
I can't hear it clearly. I'm gonna check who else is there.
It sounds like there's more than two people talking.
I'm worried that the shaman is just tricking us.
Hey, Za! Hey!
It's done.
They have accepted our apology.
They promised not to haunt anymore unless they are bothered.
You can continue to serve them offerings.
What?
I thought you were going to make them leave?
Why do we have to keep giving offerings?
I'm sorry, Reza, but please don't say that.
They have been here for so long.
They are powerful.
Even if we make them leave, they will come back.
Whose room is that?
That's my room.
Who is your master?
What master?
Whatever you have with you, you should get rid of it.
Or hand it over to me.
So that there won't be any clash of powers here.
Someone else has told you the same thing, right?
You need to be careful when you're in a new place.
What do you mean?
You're the type of person who does not believe in the other world.
Sometimes you're condescending.
I often meet people like you. Be careful.
You should take care and not get into trouble.
Sir, ouch...
Please just disregard my friend.
He's just silly.
Close your eyes.
Indra!
Minto!
Mr. Dikin!
To!
To, open the door!
To!
Ndra! Indra!
Ndra!
Ndra!
Ndra!
Ndra!
Thanks, Ndra.
I was...
Indra?
I can't even sleep in my own room because of you, Reza.
Get rid of your tiger!
Get rid of it!
Why won't you listen to me?
Why?!
So? Have you seen enough?
Za! Za...
I feel weak.
Do you have water?
- Yes. - Give him some water.
Give this to him.
It will make him feel better.
I have to go.
Thank you.
- Za! - Za?
Za, what happened?
You look lost.
Have a drink.
No way.
That man spat in that glass.
You looked like your soul left your body.
Your eyes looked empty, and then...
It's like you were afraid.
Did you not see me go out of the house?
Didn't you see me screaming over there?
No.
You were here the whole time.
Enough, let's forget about it.
I know exactly what happened. That shaman hypnotized me.
Maybe you've all been seeing weird things because he hypnotized you too.
What did you see?
I don't want to talk about it.
Come on, Za, we all know you saw something in this house.
What was it?
I saw a wounded man in your room, Ndra.
He said he couldn't sleep there because of me.
You're crazy.
If I knew you were going to say that, you shouldn't have answered!
I told you so!
This must be the shaman's doing, a lot of people are able to hypnotize nowadays!
But he didn't tell us to close our eyes like you did, Za.
There are many ways to hypnotize, To.
That's enough.
We have work tomorrow.
Let's go to sleep.
- Za? - Huh?
Can I sleep with you tonight?
What, are you joining us too?
No way.
I'm sleeping in my room.
We're religious people. We have to be brave.
Whatever.
Come in.
- Za? - What is it?
This house is really haunted.
I closed my eyes and hugged my pillow, but then it started breathing!
- Stop lying, To! - I swear, Ndra.
Can I come in?
Yeah, sure, come in.
I'm sleeping in the middle.
What the heck?
- Ndra. - Huh?
It's so weird.
The creepiest room in this house...
...turns out to be the safest.
You're right.
Maybe...
Reza's weapon actually works?
What do you mean?
Maybe your weapon does have power.
That's why you're always protected, right?
If so...
Let's just sleep here every night, okay?
No! Don't!
You're both taking up so much space.
- Come on, Za. - Enough.
Stop being whiny and go to bed. We have work tomorrow.
Alright.
It smells awful. Who farted?!
Definitely Minto!
I'm sorry.
When I'm scared, I get gassy.
Za?
Go to sleep!
Good evening, Mr. Imron.
I'm just reminding you that Miss Wulan will arrive at the station at 7 PM.
Please pick her up.
Alright, thank you.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Take care.
Hello?
Reza?
Rez?
Reza?
I've missed you so much.
Where were you?
The door was unlocked, but nobody's home.
I've missed you too.
I was in the bathroom.
Let's go.
I got us food.
Thanks, darling.
Let's eat.
This house is creepy.
Don't you get scared living here?
No, I'm not scared.
What did you get for me?
I'm not scared.
I heard you.
Let's eat.
What did you get for us?
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Wulan? Hey! Hey.
For the first time ever, I felt like I've had enough.
My disbelief in the other world resulted in hurting the person I love the most.
They tried to hurt the love of my life. The woman I should have protected.
That night, seeing Wulan in fear, and even afraid of me...
...made me curious. What did she see?
And why can't I see it?
Finally, we decided it was best for her to go home.
For the last time...
I saw Wulan's face covered in tears.
That night, she did not only leave me.
But she also took half of my heart away with her sadness.
That was when I realized that I had to find out what happened.
I shouldn't be afraid.
I am human, and I have to fight back.
Ndra, To.
I need to know what happened.
I have never seen Wulan that afraid seeing me.
I've told you this before.
The ghosts here often shapeshift into one of us.
Wulan must have seen a ghost that took your form.
That's why she was shocked.
I know.
But I've never encountered what she saw, or anything that you guys have seen in this house.
That means you're lucky.
And we're not.
We keep seeing them.
I can't just stay put.
This happened to the love of my life and now everything is ruined.
I've never seen Wulan like that.
I'd like that too, Za.
Living a normal life, working properly.
Not living in fear every day.
But what else can we do?
- Mr. Dikin. - Yes?
Who is the most powerful shaman in this village?
The locals usually just go to the man we called yesterday.
No, not that man. He's too young.
I need an older, wiser shaman.
The oldest shamans I know...
...are Mr. Wodo and Mr. Warsono.
As far as I know, Mr. Warsono has stopped practicing.
But if you want to see Mr. Wodo, I can ask the shaman that we called yesterday.
Za, what exactly are you going to do?
We have to put an end to this.
Once and for all.
I want to know what Wulan saw.
And I want to know what happened in this house.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Mr. Dikin.
Why is the road blocked?
I think we're on the right path.
- We are? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - I'm sure.
Okay, let's go.
Damn.
What is this place?
I've got goosebumps.
I need to poo.
What the heck, To?
Why aren't we holding our own flashlights?
I can't walk properly in the dark!
I don't wanna shine a light on other things.
You're right.
Mr. Dikin?
Are you sure this is the right way?
Yes, I asked the shaman we met yesterday.
He said this is the way.
We should be there soon.
But we've been walking so far.
We're not there yet.
It's like we're walking in circles.
But this is the right way to Mr. Wodo's place, right, Mr. Dikin?
Uh, I think so.
Don't say I think so when we've been walking this far!
Why is it so dark here?
They say Mr. Wodo prefers darkness.
- See. - I hate this.
Did you just fart, To?
Why would you fart?
Damn, it smells!
- Minto! - I'm sorry, I can't help it.
I'm scared, Ndra.
Ndra.
Let's go. He's been waiting for you.
Waiting?
What does he mean?
His hand...
Za...
Whatรยขรโฌรโขs with his hand?
Let's go.
Ndra.
The rest of you can wait here.
Only one of you can enter.
What brings you here tonight?
I would like to ask you something.
Have a seat.
How can I help?
I want to know...
...what happened in the house I'm staying in.
The house?
Do you know?
What do you want to know?
What exactly happened in that house?
My girlfriend...
The woman I love the most...
She freaked out when she saw me.
What did she actually see?
If you want to understand...
...there is a better way.
And if you truly want to know...
Hand me that weapon.
So that we can proceed with the ritual.
You know about my weapon?
We know each other.
We've met once.
I'm sorry.
That young shaman?
Who are you?
How is this possible?
Hypnosis?
You still don't believe in the other world?
If it truly exists...
I want to be able to see them.
I want to prove it with my own eyes.
Where is the weapon?
A clash of powers will occur...
...if you don't hand it over.
Wear this.
Do not wear anything else.
Shroud?
What's the matter?
Are you afraid?
This water comes from a sacred water spring.
It's not a regular water spring.
It has been here for hundreds of years.
Countless people have come here just to bathe with its sacred water.
Please.
You may kneel.
If you're already comfortable...
Take a deep breath and calm down.
This experience is once in a lifetime.
For the next step...
You should proceed on your own.
Bathe with this sacred water and flower petals.
I will be back once you are done.
They are here.
They are here for you.
I must go.
Whatever, let's just get it over with.
Here.
Three flower petals.
You should chew them.
Swallow.
Finish it.
Make sure there are no leftovers.
How is it?
Do you believe in the other world now?
Do not be arrogant.
Do not try to go against us.
Do you need to say something?
Then speak.
I saw a couple of people...
...and three things at the surface of the water.
I couldn't bear to look at it.
That...
...is what the owner of this water spring wants from you.
The price of your deal with them.
Sacrifice.
Sacrifice?
Yes.
They ask for sacrifices in this deal.
Three souls.
Three flower petals.
Three sacrifices.
The other world can never take a person's life.
And I never...
I never said I would sacrifice anybody.
I just want to live a normal life.
I just want to know what happened to that house.
And I just want to get back together with Wulan.
It's too late, Reza.
What's done is done.
I'm just a messenger.
I have nothing to do with the details of your deal with the devil.
My work here is done.
Starting tomorrow...
...and for the rest of your life...
You will start seeing the other world around you.
Enjoy your new life.
Your life will never be the same again.
Za?
- Reza... - To!
Za?
Hey, Za.
What did you see in the water?
We heard you talking to the shaman.
I'll tell you later.
What is it, Za?
I left my bag.
- Oh God, Za. - What do I do?
Just leave it, you can get a new one.
But it was a gift from Wulan!
It's okay, I'll go and get it.
This kid... Are you for real? Hey!
I'll go with Reza. You two wait in the car.
Are you serious? Ndra!
- Be careful! - Gosh, Indra!
Za, wait up. Za!
Are you sure this is the way?
We both know it is the way, Ndra.
Why does it feel endless?
Wait.
A cave...
And stairs made of stones. That's what we're looking for.
I know what we're looking for, but we should be there now!
Za!
Za!
What is it, Ndra?
Impossible.
What do you mean impossible?
We've really been walking for hours!
Yes, but look at the sky, it's still dark.
Whatever.
Za, believe me, something's not right.
Please, let's just go back.
I'm not doing this. Let's get out of here.
- Reza? - Wait a second, Indra.
Za?
Za!
Ndra, I found it!
Indra?
Ndra!
Ndra!
Ndra?
Ndra!
Ndra?
Za?
Thank God you're awake.
Where are we?
Never mind.
Have a drink.
Is he awake?
Yes, he is.
Wait a moment, I'll go get Mr. Warsono.
Okay.
Who is he?
Where are we, To?
We're at Mr. Warsono's place.
He's one of the elders here.
That man was one of the locals who helped us looking for you.
Looking for me?
Indra...
Where is Indra?
It's alright, Indra is in another room.
He's fine, just calm down.
It's alright.
Hey, what's wrong?
Za, what's the matter?
Hot! Help!
Wait, let me get Mr. Warsono!
No, don't! Don't!
- Take me to the bathroom, I need cold water! - Let's go!
- Now! - Okay, okay!
- Hurry up, To! - Okay, Za.
Splash me with water now, To. Now!
Now! Move it!
Some more.
More!
Za, what's wrong with you?
What happened?
Za, this is Mr. Warsono.
He helped us when we were looking for you and Indra.
What have you done, Reza?
It is done.
Where is my friend?
Son.
Take your friend back to the house.
Ndra!
What happened to him?
To, what happened to Indra?!
Mr. Dikin!
Where is he?
Mr. Dikin...
...is out looking for the items I need for your friend.
Let's talk outside.
Don't disturb your friend's soul.
Ndra...
What happened?
You and Indra went missing for two days.
Don't you remember?
Two days?
Mr. Dikin finally went to Mr. Warsono.
He asked for help.
We were able to find the two of you near Mr. Wodo's cave.
Near Mr. Wodo's cave?
Indra and I spent hours looking for it!
Please explain what happened.
You should know already.
You're just underestimating it.
Humans should not be afraid of stuff like this.
Not being afraid does not mean you should disrespect it.
But nothing from the other world can have this much power.
Is that true?
Who can tell the amount of power the other world has?
And the house?
What happened to the house?
The most terrifying thing happened in this village.
I don't know for sure.
I was a little boy when it all happened.
From what I've heard...
The house belonged to a family of nobles.
The house was passed on from generation to generation before the company you work for bought it.
The people in the village were restless.
They kept hearing about deaths of little children from that family.
The way the family buried the children was also done privately.
The people started to believe that the family was dealing with the devil.
Finally...
The people in the village became furious.
They killed off every member of the family.
And as far as I know...
The wife of the house owner got the worst treatment.
Because she was the one who kept resisting.
They cut off her head.
And they threw her into the well in that house.
A relative once returned to that house.
But he left and sold the house because he was constantly haunted.
The new owner was no different. He didn't last long there.
Your company finally bought the house in the end.
And the children?
Sacrifices.
Every deal with the devil requires a sacrifice, Reza.
Including yours.
Excuse me.
It's getting dark.
Right.
Let's pray.
Let's hope we can protect Indra.
Let's go.
Yes.
Whatever happens...
Do not open your eyes.
Ndra?
Ndra?
Ndra!
Ndra!
Ndra.
Za?
Ndra!
Ndra.
- Ndra. - I don't want to die, Za.
Ndra, Ndra. Ndra!
- Help me. - I'm right here.
I don't want to die, Za.
Ndra, calm down!
Hey, Indra! Calm down!
- Help! - Ndra! I'm right here.
- Calm down! - Help me!
Ndra!
Za!
Za, what happened?
We've told you not to open your eyes!
Enough. It makes no difference.
Indra is gone.
They refuse to change the victim.
What did you just say?
What did you mean?
Ndra!
Ndra...
Ndra, wake up!
Ndra! Indra!
Don't go, Ndra. Don't go.
Ndra.
Ndra, come on, wake up.
What did we do, Za?
What did we do?
Indra...
The image that you asked the shaman about...
Sacrifice?
You saw Indra, didn't you?
Did you see me there?
You saw me in it, didn't you?
I saw three images, To.
But it was blurry.
I couldn't see clearly.
But there are a lot of people who smoke.
And a lot of people wear sarongs like you.
And about the kris, if I'm right...
The person who owns it is thousands of miles away from this place. It wouldn't get to him!
There are a lot of things that can explain what happened to Indra.
In that forest...
There are a lot of venomous insects, he could have been bitten. Or maybe he touched a dangerous plant.
Minto!
- Damn you, Za! - Enough!
After all this, you're still underestimating their power?!
Enough!
Enough!
Minto...
To, where are you going?
You were right.
What Indra was afraid of did not happen.
What happened was much worse!
Minto...
Minto!
To?
You're back?
- I've been waiting for you. - Yeah.
I was going to go back to Solo.
But I'm too embarrassed. I'll just stay here.
To?
I'm sorry if I said anything that hurt you.
I didn't want to make you feel worried.
Hey...
Hey...
Where did you come from?
No, don't eat that.
Hey.
If you're hungry, there's food inside.
Wait, hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey...
Hey...
Don't hide there.
Come out here. Don't be afraid.
Come on.
Do you want to play with my son?
Thanks, Za.
I can sleep here again.
To! To! To!
Help me.
Help, there's something in my... room...
To?
To...
To?
To?
Indra has returned to his hometown, Za.
But I don't want my family in Solo to see me like this.
I'll just stay here from now on.
Like Arda.
You can see all of us now...
Why don't you stay here too?
Mr. Dikin!
What is it?
It's Minto.
Minto is not home yet.
When are you coming back?
I won't be back.
Once I get back to Jakarta, I'm sending my resignation letter.
Why don't you wait until the end of the month?
Thank you for everything.
I hope we can see each other again.
Reza...
Did you see me as one of the sacrifices?
Then hurry.
You might not be able to stop it.
But you can stay with him until the end of his time.
Mom, pick up, come on. Pick up.
Hello?
Mom, where have you been? I've been calling you.
Za... Za...
Mom, listen.
This might sound weird, but please go and find a shaman with dad. Now.
Za, your father fell.
He's in the ICU.
Where are you? Come home soon!
What is his condition?
Critical.
Three flower petals. Three sacrifices.
Even at that time, I kept asking myself if it was really happening.
After all this...
Would I really be able to achieve what I've always wanted?
Can someone really make a deal without meaning to do it?
If only I believed it from the beginning...
If only I didn't underestimate everything...
And if only I wasn't lured by a dark temptation.
But the reality is that this experience will forever be with me.
Your father.
Wulan.
Thank you for coming.
I'll come back tomorrow.
I'll keep coming until both you and your mother feel better.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.
I should be the one apologizing for making you worry.
Now that place won't bother us again.
There's something I need to tell you.
What is it?
I know it might seem like it doesn't make sense, but it's true.
Reza?
Your mother is calling you.
Tell me tomorrow, okay?
I promise I'll come.
Mom?
Yes?
You called?
Sit down, dear.
Your father's boss called.
He sends his condolences.
He also told me...
...to tell you about this.
There's a job vacancy in his company.
He said he thought of you.
It's a good position, he said.
He's expecting you to call him.
Thank God.
There's a silver lining after all.
I'm sorry, Mom.
What for?
I couldn't be there for you and dad.
It's what your father wanted.
What do you mean?
Actually...
Your father had been sick long before you got a job.
The doctor said...
That it could happen any time.
That's why I didn't agree with him.
When he gave you permission to work out of town.
But he said...
He wanted to see you become independent before he goes.
I've been wanting to tell you this.
But he wouldn't let me.
He said he didn't want to make you worry since you just started working.
How long did the doctor say?
Six months, but...
The doctor said your father could collapse any day.
Za?
This is for you.
Thank you.
You will love it.
That's a gift from Wulan.
Wulan? Wulan!
Where are you going?
Sir, please let me through.
There's a woman over there.
- Yes, I might know her... - Hey!
Please help them!
Sir, you're can't enter.
My heart shouted that night.
It cried out for the extreme pain that I felt.
The look in my eyes expressed my fear.
The fear that I would continue to feel.
For the rest of my life.
Three months later
All the temptations in this world are becoming apparent.
A deal with the devil, a dark agreement.
A man's greatest sin.
Come in.
Excuse me, Mr. Broto wants to see you.
What's the matter?
Usually Mr. Broto is already home at this hour.
I'm sorry, Sir. I'm not sure.
There is one thing I want to say to those of you who have been listening to this story.
Please.
Never do what I did in this story.
There is no end to it.
Hey, don't you think Mr. Reza is so handsome?
I know, right? So handsome.
Those living in the real world are still deceived by the unseen.
Deceived by the devil.
The devil that is now living inside me.
Tempting me with anything they can come up with.
Mortal things.
You called for me, Sir?
This is for you.
- What is this? - Open it.
Luxury.
Pleasure in this world and everything else.
Sir, I can't accept this.
It's alright.
It's a reward from the company.
Your performance has been great.
There's another surprise for you.
Let me show you.
Worldly pleasures, temptations to commit sins are constantly offered to me.
It's like an endless loop.
The type of happiness filled with sin.
Sins after sins that I have tried to repent...
have only left me with immense regret.
All the sins are now as close to me as the air that I breathe.
And the sadness that I feel is unmatched.
Because it turns out the door is still closed for me.
The door of repentance.
From the God Almighty.
I sometimes think to myself, dear God...
Is there still a chance for this sinner to ask for Your forgiveness?
Have you ever had goosebumps in a place before?
Have you ever felt the presence of something that you used to think was just a figment of your imagination?
When beauty turns into fear.
All that was impossible to imagine.
Everything is so frightening.
They show sadness like no other.
Those that I once refused to believe in.
And then you realize...
That your life has changed, forever.
You are blessed with a gift...
...that gives you the chance to see with your own eyes and realize...
That this world does not only belong to humans.
It belongs also to the unseen, who are actually everywhere and really close to us.
At that moment, I said a little prayer.
For time to stop forever just for the two of us.
That night, Reza was happy being with Wulan.
The woman that he loved all his life...
And in death.
I've missed you a lot.
I've missed you just as much.
