The day had turned dark when me and my best friend Nisa arrived at the base of the ojek of Cikoneng village, a village located in Serang Banten area.
This village is my mother's hometown.
It has been almost ten years I have not set foot here, precisely since my grandmother died and in this village only my uncle lives.
Today I had the opportunity to visit here to enjoy my time off after I finished my final exams.
Nisa and I came down from the angkot and stepped towards some men who were sitting in a substation.
" Assalamualaikum, father, we want to go to the village of Cikoneng" I said to them. At first they wanted to drive, but when they heard the name of Cikoneng village, their faces turned tense
.
" Cikoneng Village, Nong?(nong calls for a young daughter)oh, sorry, Nong, if you don't want to go there, even if Nong pays a lot" replied one of the taxi's father.
" What's the matter, sir? isn't that village close to here?" manya curious.
I tried to persuade the taxi driver, but still they wouldn't drive us.
"Sorry, we don't want to go there, and we'd better not go there first, especially at night like this, danger, Nong!" the other timpal.
" danger? What's in the village, sir?" I asked again, but they wouldn't answer.
Finally, Mona had to walk to the village.
"Mon, are we really going to walk there? The fathers said it was dangerous, Mon. What if we don't go there?" please Nisa while pulling my hand.
" Sorry, Nisa. We did, so I didn't want to go back before I met my uncle there. If you are afraid, you can stay in this village first, tomorrow I pick you up, yes" I replied in a slightly upset tone.
" Well, I don't want to do that, yes I'm coming, let's go now! fear of getting up last night"
After buying drinks, we walked to the village of Cikoneng.
"Akhh this is because of the Bus and angkot, the Bus in Rambutan Village was from Dzuhur until Asar new road. Pas at the Pasapatan Terminal earlier, the angkot is also not running until magrib hour, where right on the road, the driver takes us muter-muter again. Tau kek gini earlier I brought a car, deh," I grumbled along the way, making Nisa who heard chuckling.
"Hes, Elu Mon, his style wants to bring a car, rich who have a SIM, let alone SIM, KTP you do not have. It's good to take a car from Jakarta to Serang, hahah .. We're not going to your uncle's house, but going into the holding cell .. hahah" Nisa sneered as she frowned at me.
I just snorted annoyed at hearing his chatter.
With a sense of uncertainty, we continued to walk down a road that was still not built entirely.
Suddenly from a distance, there was a long scream.
"Aghhhhhhhhh"
"Asragfirullah, what's that sound?" I asked Nisa.
"Yes, yeah. Her voice was heartbreaking as if it sounded like someone else was being tortured" Nisa replied while looking for the source of the voice, we felt more tense.
Nisa was shocked to hear the word forest. "What a fact, Mon? we're going through the woods, very serem, Mon!" ask Nisa to me who I answer with a nod.
The night was getting late, Nisa walked over while closing her eyes and holding my hand tightly. The wind blew a bit hard moving the trees on the side of the road.
From a distance, began to hear the howls of dogs that make the atmosphere feel increasingly gripping.
"rek ... Sreks ... Srek "suddenly beside you sounds like someone is walking.
" Mon, what's that noise? Kok, rich man again walking in the bushes, walking near us, huh?" Nisa continued to babble while wailing, until finally she screamed with her cry in my ear.
"Moooonnnn, aghhhgg li.lllii.see behind you, Moon !" Nisa screamed in fear while closing her eyes and pointing behind me
" What the hell is Nis? Why are you screaming so clearly?" ask me while
look back. I had a goosebump, but I didn't see anything behind me.
"What the hell, anyway,? People have nothing, ah let's continue the journey" said I while holding Nisa's hand, but the invited even like a statue that can not be moved.
"Moon, I'd like to go .. tttapii .. but my kkkak lemmaas Moon. that's me behind you, Mon. That guy's creepy, Mon. His neck is gaping like it's about to break, Mon. Aakhh, he's getting closer here! " said Nisa while stammering, her sweat was pouring and it seemed aiisshh ..which flowed not only tears from her eyes, but also from all over her body including from .. aahhkkkh ...
"Nisaaa, you're wetting the bed..?" I asked with a little scream when I felt Nisa's pants that were wet because of her urine.
"Alright, even if I can't see the creature, I will try to fight it" I replied, looking at the direction indicated by Nisa.
"Hey, you!, I can't see you, but I'm sure you're in front of me, so listen! We are different in nature, so you should not interfere with each other's affairs!" I cried while pointing at the direction because I could not see the creature that Nisa saw.
I have not finished talking, suddenly the wind blows very
it was as if we were going to bring down trees around us.
With my heart racing, I immediately read the verses of Chair and Surat Annas and Alfalaq.
" O Allah, the One who created mankind and the Genie, we are all your creatures, and we will have no power if You do not allow it, then let the servant defeat them! o Most Powerful, give Your strength to the servant!"
Instantly the boisterous sound of the wind stopped and the atmosphere became calm again. "She, let's open your eyes! It's over, let's continue the journey!" I yelled at Nisa while shaking her body that had been stuck behind me since then while closing my lizard-like eyes against the wall.
" Thank God, the truth is not there, Mon. What was it you were doing?"
"Ah, don't worry, let's continue the journey!" I shouted at Nisa while clenching her hand.
I immediately grabbed Nisa's hand to continue our journey.
Just a few meters we walked, suddenly arrived from a distance visible light lights similar to motor lights. A moment later, the light was directed at our faces.
I gasped at the faces of those who happened to be hit by the light of the motor. Their faces looked very sad and scary.
