DON'T LET 'EM IN #2 Jessyifa Fadillah


DON’T LET ‘EM IN
            I knock on the door and someone open the door. An old woman who is beautiful and looks friendly while holding a male doll. She uses pajamas with very beautiful shabby chic motifs. The doll also uses pajamas with striped motifs, if viewed from a distance maybe I would think it was a little boy.
“hi, anything I can help?” She smiled very friendly to me.
“ emm hi, Im Maggie. Sorry I knocked on your door at this hour.”
“ I went in and walked down the tall grass then I got here, sorry for disturbing you.”
“ Im Marisa and this is my son Jack. We rarely have guests, especially guests who come through the tall grass, you are destined to get here”
wait what? What did she say? her son? So it's a little scary after I hear it.
“please come in and take a rest, you can come back when the sun rises” invite the woman with a smile.
I entered the magnificent mansion, very luxurious with an elegant design, I passed the place that might be the lobby, there hung a very beautiful crystal chandelier, and there was a photograph that was printed very large in the photo there was Marisa and then a man who might be her husband and a little boy who looks a lot like Jack the doll. I feel very curious about this family and the mansion. This mansion seems to have a lot of secrets, and this mansion is surrounded by the tall grass, maybe this is the reason why many people are lost including my brother. Tall Grass is hiding this mansion, is it possible for this family to be responsible for what happened to my brother? but why did I get here? why am I not lost like the others? I kept thinking until I found myself in front of a door.
“ please come in and rest in this room” said marisa with a smile then left me.
This room is very spacious with a king size mattress that is very soft and comfortable, inside there is also a bathroom with a bath tub. I was very fascinated with this mansion, but I was also very curious and a little afraid, why marisa was so kind to me when this was the first time we met and was she not afraid if I was actually a bad person? I do not know I decided to close my eyes because I was very tired after walk around through the tall grass.
I didn't sleep well I felt someone was watching me. The atmosphere was a bit tense. I saw the shadow of a man on the edge of the bed and looked at me, I didn't know it was only my dream or it was real.
Knock... knock...
            I woke up when someone knocked on my door. I opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman, she asked me to immediately go to the dining room to have breakfast together. I cleaned myself and rushed to the dining room.
“ good morning” I say hello to everyone who is there
“ good morning Maggie, this is my husband, Tony” say Marisa
“ hi Tony Im Maggie nice to meet you”
“ nice to meet you to, please take a sit down, my wife has told me everything”
            I also saw Jack the doll sitting between you with a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk in front of him. then came a few maids poured drinks into my glass and served food. all the maids don't talk much and are even reluctant to look me in the eye this is getting suspicious actually what's wrong with this mansion and why is the doll jack treated like humans.
            after breakfast I go back to my room to tidy up my things, the plan is I want to go home I don't want to linger here anymore especially after the incident seeing the shadow. when I get ready someone knocked on my door, it turns out it was Marisa.
“ are you ready to go home?” she asked
“ yes I have to go home, I don't want to make my family worry.”
“I was going to ask for your help, but it looks like you want to go home soon”
            After hearing that I felt uneasy, he was kind enough to give me a place to rest and also food, then I asked what I could help. Apparently she had to go with her husband because there was an urgent matter and I was asked to look after Jack the doll while they were gone, because I felt indebted I also wanted to help her.
            He took me to Jack's room, and he explained what I had to do while looking after Jack. first at 10 o'clock is Jack's time to eat fruit I have to bring Jack to the dining room and provide fruit for him, then after eating fruit Jack plays the piano for an hour, then Jack has lunch, then Jack has to take a nap, then take Jack to walk afternoon walk around the mansion's yard, then Jack showered and prepared for dinner, after that Jack had to wash up and change clothes in pajamas, before going to bed Jack had to read a fairytale before going to sleep. must not say rude in front of Jack and may not be rude to Jack. it's a list of Jack's activities and the rules Marisa gave me. Marisa and her husband might come back tomorrow morning, so I called my mother and said that I would stay at my best friend Cassie's house.
            I carried Jack and drove Marisa and Tony to the door. Marisa and Tony say goodbye to Jack and tell Jack not to be naughty. I feel so crazy about all this why they treat Jack like a human and where is the boy in the photo. they both left and now I live with Jack and some maids at home.
            I brought Jack to the dining room and prepared fruit for him, assisted by a few maids, but they never spoke a single word to me. It seemed like they were hiding something. actually very strange I have to feed the dolls but this is an order from Marisa. I put a piece of fruit in front of Jck, after a few moments when I brought Jack to the piano room, I played a few songs with Jack sitting beside me. as long as I'm with Jack I feel someone is watching me. I even heard voices from behind the wall but I tried not to care. after playing the piano I took Jack to his room and laid him on the bed to take a nap. I came out of Jack's room, I decided to walk around the mansion to the backyard. until the back page I saw something that made me very surprised.
