40 Days

Chapter 3

The bus drove back after Jeni got off. Jeni looked around the street, an area familiar to her like dejavu she began to step back.

'Good thing I got up, I'm really here again. My hometown, if you wake up late in a little, you must be late, ' grumbled Jeni.

The streets looked deserted, there were only a few people and vehicles passing by. The watch in his hand shows four o'clock, but now it's night.

'' I ngaco nih watch, Jeni patted the watch on her left arm.

He again stepped towards the alley which was about three meters away from him standing. He crossed the coffee shop Pak Bejo, saw some people who would patrol the stall.

'' Mr. Bejo, hi.. '' Jeni waved her arm at the warkop. She is very close to Mr. Bejo, because her father Jeni always hangs out there. And he often told his mother to call his father if it was the night hanging out in the warkop.

Right now he doesn't see his dad there, tumben once. His father used to hang out most often at Mr. Bejo's warkop. There wasn't even an answer from Mr. Bejo when Jeni called him.

Even some of the people sitting there did not look in his direction at all. Jeni was sure that her voice was loud and that it was impossible if they did not hear.

Feeling that Jeni was back walking, the door of the alley was only a few steps away.

Jeni frowned while being right in front of the alley. The yellow flag is attached right next to the archway. Usually if there is a yellow flag, it means there are residents who died in the area of the alley.

Jeni immediately accelerated her steps, hoping to get to the house located not far from there, only blocked three houses from the alley door.

Jeni is again shocked by the crowd in front of the yard. A yellow flag was planted on the iron fence of his house.

Jeni immediately entered without greeting anyone in the yard of her house. Even those who were there seemed indifferent to him.

Pandan odor and fragrance that is often used for the corpse was smelled stinging.

Jeni widened her eyes when she saw someone's body lying stiff in the main room. It appeared that Father, Mother, Brother and Sister were crying over the corpse. As well as his relatives who were there, their faces were so bitter and grieving.

His father opened the face cover when there were new distant relatives. How surprised Jeni saw who the corpse was stiffened there.

It was his own body. Raga without a soul that lies horribly. His body that had been wrapped in a shroud and cotton like a lump of statue was helplessly stretched.

Wanting her sense of screaming but Jeni could not do her, the pain was very painful that she felt at this time. He was really not ready for his death. The accident has taken his soul.

Instantly her memory recalled the events that had robbed her of life, as she fell asleep on the bus the fateful disaster happened so quickly. Until he did not realize the punishment to pick him up.

The soul and the body cannot be reunited, for there is no more beat and breath.

Yasin's letter began to be lafadzkan by the family and neighbors who were there. Miris once his fate, can not do anything but wait for the time to arrive where his self must face the Power. Most likely in the next 40 days he will leave his family.

The time of 40 days was the time for the last time he lived in the house with his beloved family.

Jeni will try to take advantage of the time to let go of her longing for the family even without being able to touch and even hug them. There was no conversation let alone the usual joking he did with his family when gathered.

The moment that in later as long as he was abroad, is now just wishful thinking. Circumstances have changed, her body waiting to its final resting place while her spirit is still severely tormented due to her unpreparedness to leave the worldly.

Jeni only realized that since earlier in the bus she was with curious spirits just like her, she also only understood when Mr. Bejo did not hear his speech. It was because his self could not be seen by the rough eyes.

The watch's hour hand shows at four o'clock, reminiscent of the time when the fateful event occurred. Where Jeni died releasing the soul from her body.

Now he began to see many figures like himself in his home environment. Between humans and the supernatural beings, some of them look terrible.

So did Jeni herself, she stared at her very creepy self if humans could see her, but according to her this is very sad.

The body that has been proud for a lifetime will now only be the food of maggots. The treasures and all the beauty in the mortal world he could not carry. Can't even help himself at this time.

There is a sense of regret in the heart, if only given the opportunity to live maybe Jeni will change all her bad habits. He will spend more time with his beloved family, he will be more obedient to the commands of the Creator.

Now it's all too late. Time will not be turned back, he just lamented his fate.

The atmosphere of the night is so bitter that decorated sobs the crying of the Jeni family and the chanting of people to teach Yasin beside the corpse, is very heartbreaking.

Moreover, seeing her mother began to unconscious because she could not let go of her daughter.

Wanting his taste caressed the face of the mother, but many times he tried to touch still could not. Jeni's touch was like the wind.

One of those who had a weak condition and easily sensed the existence of astral beings began to crumble his nape. Repeatedly rubbing the back of the neck and trying to shake off that feeling that feels very strange.

(This story is only the imagination of the author, in 40 days after the departure of someone then the soul of the person who has died is still in his home environment. Fictional !!)
