Seven days ago,
The corridor was very dark. The sound of dripping water was coming from somewhere which made the atmosphere a little stagnant.
"Drip….drip…."
A light beam was coming from a room towards the corridor.
"Yes..a little more "a sound came from inside the room, " I won't let you go this time."
A boy appeared to be doing something but it was not clear from behind.
"gulp..yeah.. last one..please..ple.." the boy was murmuring and put a coin center of a formation surrounded by five candles.
[ Hantu Roh / Spirit of coin
Info: It is a mystical game or ' Ritual' that aims to communicate with supernatural beings such as demons, spirits and also ghosts. People play this to know Secrets or answer any supernatural questions. It required to play in a dark room with at least a window. Rumor has it that sometimes it becomes dangerous and even causes death. ]
"Crack!…"
Suddenly a sound came from the window.
"ah..ah.ha.." he looked at the window instantly and terrified.
"Thank god..it was just wind, nothing else" he was convincing Himself.
" Now then, what to do next?" he looked at a paper, " So, I need to read the script "
"Spirits around respond to my call" he was trying to focus and got a bit scared, "Spirits live in the darkness… blah… blah…"
"With the sacrifice of blood our soul connected " He dropped a drop of his blood into the coin and felt some pain.
"Soul…con…"He was scared and thinking, "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 ..𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆..𝒏𝒐 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒅…𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕..!!"
Suddenly the phone rang.
"SOUL CONTRACT !!!" He jumped backward and fell off the chair.
"Ouch! That hurts!" He was patting his head, "Who's calling right now?"
"Eh!..it's Almus" he received the call, "Why the hell are you calling now? I'm almost scared to death!!!"
"Why are you afraid?" Almus was asking, "Don't tell me, you're playing that game now!!.. ha..ha.."
"Yes…I'm playing that shitty game of yours !!" he replied sternly," if you guys hadn't cheated, I wouldn't have lost the bet."
"Scared!!" Almus was joking, "Didn't you say you're not afraid of ghosts?"
" Gosh!!… I'm not scared of ghosts."
" Are you sure about that??… Aha.."
"Damn!!.. Cut it already!!" He was annoyed, "Why are you calling now?"
"Oh. I almost forgot" Almus asked, "Do you know what day tomorrow is?"
"Huh!… Did you call me to know that? " he said, annoyed. "February 14th, I think. why?"
"Wait….don't tell me you forgot already!" Almus was surprised.
"forgot what ??" He replied, "Okay, let me think."
"It's not a holiday or special occasion, as far as I can remember." He was thinking out loud and remembered," Wait.. wait…wait..!!. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! "
"So, now you remember" Almus replied disappointedly, "Didn't you say you will ask her out!! What are your plans now?"
"I don't have any plans yet"
"What do you mean you have no plans?" Almus replied "If you don't ask her out now, it will be too late. she might fall for someone else "
"What should I do? If I ask her out, she might think I'm creepy and hate me"
"So you gave up," Almus asked, "answer my question, do you have any feelings for her?"
" Yes…I do have feelings for her..but I'm a just loser" he replied sadly, "yet I want to tell her how I feel."
"huh!.. I know this is how it will happen eventually…so I have a plan in advance." Almus said," Just do as I say"
" But If…"
"No, but..you will do what I say" Almus replied menacingly, "am I clear to you?"
"Yes," he replied timidly.
"Then listen..whisper..whisper..and whisper..that will do the trick."
"What!!" He replied loudly, "It's impossible… I can't do it!"
"And how do you arrange it? " He added.
"No need to worry about that," Almus said happily, "I already discussed it with the others."
"Wait.. what!!…you told the others too?"He flustered, "They're going to make fun of me!"
"Sorry!!!…get ready for tomorrow." Almus hung up the call.
"Damn!!.. you Almus!!!"
"That bastard!" He worried, "Then tomorrow is the day.."
[Someone seems to have been listening to them from outside the window the whole time, or it could be imagination perhaps.]
