It was a heavy rainstorm in Kampung Sepang. Jabri and Halil had just finished their dinner together at Jabri’s house. They were sitting in the living room for coffe and conversation, hoping the rain would stop soon.
It was half past eleven at night and the downpour was showing no signs of stopping.
“Looks like you’ll have to spend the night here,Halil.” Said Jabri.
“No way,”Halil said, “I’ve to be at work early tomorrow morning.”
A few moment later Halil got into the car, started the engine, and said good night to Jabri.
Something told him that he should’nt have turned off the lane going up the hill, but it was shortest way home. He knew that lane. It ran across from an old Chinese cemetery. There were no light, no cars, no people, just Halil and his old car.
All of sudden a white shape appeared in the middle of the lane. Halil shone his beam of light in that direction. The white shape turned to Halil. He saw a pair of crimson eyes staring at him. It was a long-haired woman in along white dress. She grinned at Halil. At once, Halil felt his blood freeze. His heartbeat stopped. His mouth opened but he was speechles. His eyes opened wide in terror.
Suddenly, consciousness came into his mind. He quickly reversed his car and sped away just in time.
“I think I’ll take up you offer to spend the night here after all, ” Hali told Jabir as his legs trembled.
