A Bunch of Horror Stories

episode 104 (Sarinah Part 1)

With a breath of breath Audy closed the door to her room and sat on the floor leaning behind it. Audy started to regulate her breathing which started to suffocate her chest, her face was deathly pale, then she closed her eyes. Hmm. that woman? That woman is like the one in my dreams last night, Audy thought to herself. Audy's body was still trembling, the fur all over her body was creepy. What has happened to me lately, why have I always been overshadowed by the old woman, is there something wrong with me now Audy asked in her heart.

Tok. tok.. Audy's room door on someone's knock. Audy peeked out of the doorway slowly to see who was in front of her room. Audy then smiled with relief when she found out that the one who knocked on her door was her close friend July.

“Lho.loe's face is pale rich people are afraid just ask July when Audy open the door to his room”.

“Nothing really, hmm.. Tonight you are here Jul said Audy”.

“Sipp.. I have promised you the same nyokap loe, as long as he is on duty outside, I will nemenin loe at home besides Mbok Surti explained July with a smile”.

Audie smiled again as soon as she heard what July said. Audie is the only child in her family. Papa Audy is a busy pilot who is amazing, in a month usually Papa is only a week at home and the rest he flies around the world with his plane. While Mama is a career woman who is also busy, for example, now Mama must go and stay out of town for several days to take care of her company needs. And in these moments only July is Audy's best friend from SMU and Mbok Surti a middle-aged woman who has taken care of him since he was a loyal child to accompany the solitude of Audy in the sizable house.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Audy opened her eyes slowly and then she closed her body near July who had fallen asleep. It seemed that at this moment Audy could not close her eyes to rest. He was still in the shadows with the old woman he had met. Yes.. This afternoon After college, Audy drove her car out of college. On the way precisely at the intersection of the red light he stopped his car for a moment to wait for the green light to go wrong again. Audy's eyes suddenly fell on a black sedan right next to her.

Hmm the glass of the car was not too dark, it appeared in the handsome young man driving the car, he was singing while listening to the radio in his car. Audy smiled at the young man's behavior, then looked deliberately he turned to look behind the young man. Audy was startled for a moment, when he saw the figure of a shabby, red-clothed old woman sitting on the back seat of the young man's car. It seemed like the young man who was driving did not know that there were other creatures riding in his car. Audy's eyes were still fixed on the creepy creature and what happened suddenly the old woman turned to Audy and then she glared at his reddened eyes while smiling sinisterly at him, seeing the incident, Audy's breathing began to gasp incoherently.

Tin.tin.the sound of the car horn that is behind Audy's car. Audy was surprised to hear it, he took a deep breath and then the old woman disappeared from the back seat of the young man's car. Instantly, Audy's body suffocated. Audy drove back to her car when the green light went wrong. While on the way to her house, Audy was terrified, especially the old woman she had seen was the exact woman in her dreams these past two days. The old woman in red clothes. Is this just a coincidence or is just my delusion too high, O Lord, Audy said in her heart.

The next day, Audrey and July arrive home after returning home from college. Audy was astonished to see many people gathered in the courtyard of the house. Audy frowned and looked confused as she got out of the car.

“What's up.. Mbok Surti whispered Audy as Mbok Surti approached himself”.

“There are people from the nursing home foundation to meet with Non Audy replied Mbok Surti”.

Audy walked towards a middle-aged man who looked anxious.

“Some I can help sir, Ask Audy”.

“Sorry Ma'am, I came here already there is agreement from Ms. Novi to return the Sarinah mother to this house replied Mr. it”.

“Return who? tanya Audy once again who looks confused”.

“Mother Sarinah, who was entrusted by Novi's mother a few years ago. Again sorry Ma'am, the foundation manager is no longer able to take care of Ms. Sarinah at this time explained the fathers again”.

Audy smiled, in her heart she was still confused by the words of the Father. During her life Audy did not know Sarinah's mother, Who was that woman? After the people from the foundation came home, Audy tried many times to contact her Mama to ask who was Sarinah's mother, but Mama's phone still could not be contacted.

“Sarinah's mother who is Mbok, Audy asked Mbok Surti”.

“That's non, Sarinah's mother is her adopted sister Eyang Non Audy replied Mbok Surti”.

Hmmmm. Foster sister? Kok Eyang same Mama never told me about the existence of Ibu Sarinah said Audy in her heart.

“Certain Mother Sarinah is now where Tanya Audy” is.

“Non Audy if you call Mother Sarinah it is called Mbah Sarinah anyway, because she is the grandmother of Non Audy explained Mbok Surti”.

Iyah Mbok, now Mbah Sarinah where Tanya Audy while nodding her head”.

“There is in the back room Non clear Mbok Surti”.

Audy steps into the back room with July.

Tok.dok.cock. Audy knocked on the room door slowly, but there was no answer at all from within.

“Instead Non, Ibu Sarinah can not hear Mbok surti” whisper.

Audy and July looked at each other. Audy opened the door of the room slowly, they both saw an old woman lying on the bed. Audy smiled and approached Mbah Sarinah.

But a moment later how surprised Audy was to see that Mbah Sarinah's face looked exactly the same as the woman who was in the car yesterday and who appeared in her dreams. Audy's face suddenly turned deathly pale, her body was trembling her breath was panting back.

“Dy.. hmm rich last night I saw the exactly rich Mbah Sarinah deh in front of the house loe whisks July who is no less surprised as”.

“Times Ask Audy while staring July”.

“Iyaahhh.. Last night when I opened the gate there were grannies in front of the fence again looking around loe's house, and when I asked him to be quiet explained July curiously”.

“Maybe Non July wrong look people times said Mbok Surti who suddenly was among them and cut off the word July”.

Audy and July both looked back and looked at Mbok Surti.

“Sarinah's mother can't walk anymore. It's like this, every day always in bed. Sarinah's mother also could not speak and hear anymore, she could only hint her eyes when she needed something. Mother is paralyzed because old eaten her age explained Mbok Surti”.

“Hmm.. Weirdo? I don't see Dy wrong, his face is exactly like Mbah Sarinah whispered July who looks confused”.

Audy was silent, in his heart he thought, which maybe the old woman was Mbah sarinah who had always been overshadowing him. And why July has also seen the exact same person as Mbah Sarinah before.

“Dy... I was suddenly so creepy gini .. yaahhh? Ahh I went out aja misik July again while rush out of the room leaving Audy”.

Audy was still looking at the face of the old woman lying before her. Mbah Sarinah fell asleep and was helpless in bed. His face looked blackened and wrinkled, his eyes were sunken, his cheeks were flattened, his body was as thin as a skull that was only covered by very thin skin. Is she the same woman? I'm sure July must have been surprised to see this. But seeing Mbah Sarinah's helpless state like this I hesitated to hurt her thought Audy in her heart. Not long after, Audy rushed out of Mbah Sarinah's room following July.

It's already the second night Mbah Sarinah is at Audy's house. Since there was the presence of Mbah sarinah at home. Audy's house became another as usual. The night felt so long and gripping, as if in every corner of the house there were people watching and paying attention to his movements. Audrey was not comfortable. Mbah Sarinah's condition is still the same as usual he can only be closed and lying on his bed. There is not a word that can be said, fortunately there is Mbok Surti who always take care of it.

“Huaahhh why I can not sleep rich gini yaa? yelled July while looking at Audy who was still in front of her computer”.

“Sama I also can not sleep Jul replied Audy while scratching his head”.

“Down down yuk, we drink milk, who knows if we can just drink up we can sleep with July”.

Hmmm. half an hour one night Audy said in her heart while looking at the clock on the wall.

“Yuk Dy, we drop invite July again”.

Audy nodded her head, not long after which the two of them exited the room and went down the stairs walking towards the back kitchen.

“Jul... whispered Audy while holding onto July's arm in the darkness of her home”.

“Loe heard something.. Audy”.

July and Audy were silent for a moment, and they looked at each other.

“Daddy.. I heard like there was a gamelan sound that sounded very far said July”.

“That sound comes from where Audy” asked.

“Hmmmm.. it looks like from Dy's back room replied July”.

“Mbah Sarinah's Room Audy” says.

“I..iyah seems from there whispered July nervously”.

Audy and July slowly set foot into Mbah Sarinah's room. The closer the sound the clearer the sound of gamelan flickering.

“Daddy.. The sound really came from Mbah Sarinah's room July” said.

“Who tuned the cassette or CD in the middle of the night rich gini Jul, as I recall in the room there is no type, and it is not possible Mbah Sarinah can listen to the sound Audy” whispered.

Audy and July were getting closer to Mbah Sarinah's room. Curiously, July opened the door slowly, and they peeked at her. And what happened, the bodies of the two of them immediately shook as soon as they saw Mbah Sarinah dancing with a gully accompanied by the sound of gamelan flickering that came from nowhere. Mbah Sarinah wears a very good red kebaya, while holding the scarf of Mbah Sarinah swaying her body to follow the sound. Her face was very different, she looked younger and very beautiful, her skin her face was very smooth shining and not wrinkled. Her hair was dense black and beautifully scattered extending to the waist.

“Dy.. whispered July while gripping Audy's hand that was so cold”.

“What do you see now is the same as what I saw Jul? whispered Audy with her trembling voice”.

“Daddy...it.. Mbah Sarinah obviously July”.

Audy and July looked at each other at the door.. Then the two of them peeked again.Over time the sound of the rumbling was heard further and then disappeared, along with that the situation of Mbah Sarinah began to change as before. Both of their bodies are getting less and less because of it. Audy and July ran up the stairs to the room. So upon arriving above the two of them were very surprised when they saw the existence of Mbah Sarinah who was in front of Audy's room. He stood his body curled thinly dry, his face wrinkled, his head looked bald with his hair reddened and severed waist, he glared his eyes at the two of them. Audrey and July shouted and ran down the stairs. July grabbed the keys to the car lying on the dining table and they both ran out of the house.

“Quick open the fence.. Dy, shouted July while blaming the car” engine.

Audy quickly opened the gate of her house, then she ran to the car driven by July.

“Quick in..Dy shouted July”.

Not long after that the white sedan was speeding up from the courtyard of Audy's house in the middle of the night.

“Yaaa Lord.. shouted Audy, she could not believe what she saw earlier”.

“Tuh.kan I have guessed if there is something wrong with Mbah loe Dy? july lantang”'s.

“Y.. God shouted Audy again while looking at July who was driving”.

“There's what. Dy ask July”.

“Mbok Surti is still at Jul's house? scream Audy hysteris”.

“Yaaa my goodness?? Said July while patting her forehead”.

“Bagimana it's Jul, I'm afraid Mbok Surti later why said Audy”.

“Terus.. We're going back to Loe's house again? I'm afraid Dy obviously July”

“Certain how dong will be, what should we do ask Audy Anxious”.

“Hopefully Dy safe, if Mbok Surti tightly locks his bedroom door? I swear I do not dare to go back to your house at this time explained July while spurring the speed of his car”.

Shortly after the car was driven July stopped in front of a black-fenced house.

“Whose home..ask Audy”.

“My cousin's house.., we just spend the night here, I want to contact my cousin first.answer July”.

July pulled out her phone, and soon a boy of their age came out of the car.

“What's Jul, let's go in with the guy”.

Audy follows in July's footsteps and her cousin enters the house.

“Include Dre, my deket buddy, said July as he turned to Audy”.

Audie and Andre shake hands. Andre makes warm tea for July and Audy who is resting on the sofa. July recounts the incident she shared with Audy tonight on Andre. Likewise with Audy, he also told what he had experienced over the past few days, including the incident at a red light four days ago.

“What... loe also never saw Mbah Sarinah before Dy, Tanya July do not believe”.

“Dad...Audy replied while nodding her head”.

“Wahhh... severe, how this cried July”.

“We have to save Mbok Surti Jul, explained Audy who is very worried about her caregiver”.

“Daddy... tomorrow we go, replied July”.

“Any mobile phone Mama until now also still can not be contacted said Audy while staring at July and Andre”.

“Hmm.. How about tomorrow we go to the foundation that once lived by Mbah Sarinah first, Andre” said.

“Ke the nursing home foundation asked Audy”.

“Daddy.. We find out about Mbah Sarinah's whereabouts during her stay, you both do not wonder why suddenly the administrators of the foundation returned Mbah Sarinah on the grounds that it was no longer able to take care of her. There must be something else hidden by them, I am sure it must be related to Mbah Sarinah who is not good explained Andre”.

“Truely also tuh Dre.. We have to go there July” said.
