A Bunch of Horror Stories

episode 105 (Sarinah part 2)

The next day after Audiy's breakfast, July and Andre go to the nursing home foundation where Mbah Sarinah once lived. With a curious feeling mixed with anxiety the three of them got down from the car and immediately walked towards the office of the caretaker of the foundation of the orphanage that was beside the main house. After reporting and filling in the guest book of Audiy's visit, July and Andre are invited to enter the very large house. Although it looks old house but inside the house is very clean, comfortable and beautiful.

“Wait a minute, Dik, I will call the head of the foundation first said the pink-hooded mothers while smiling”.

Audy, July and Andre walk towards the park that is behind the home. And not long after that a big tall man approached the three of them.

“There's something I can help you Ask that guy”.

“I Audy... Sir, say hello Audy introduced himself, and this is my friend July and Andre obviously again later”.

“I am the Great Father, said the Man while shaking the hand of Audy”.

“Begini Mr. Agung, I came here to ask about the whereabouts of Ms. Sarinah during her time in this home. A few days ago, my parents sent my mother Sarinah home. I just want to know if Ms. Sarinah is so troublesome for the manager that she returned Tanya Audy at length.

Grandfather fell silent, his face appearing anxious with Audy's question.

“Sorry Dik Audy.. We can not explain about the existence of him while here, because this concerns about the confidentiality we keep replied Mr. Agung with briefly”.

Audy smiled, in her heart she was more confused by the answer of Mr. Supreme. Not long after, Mr. Agung told them to take care of other needs.

Audy sat limply on the park bench her eyes blank, clearly showing the anxiety she was feeling at the moment.

“Sabar Dy, there will definitely be a way out to entertain Andre while gently patting Audy”'s shoulder.

“Wow... ustt.. look at someone who waved his hand at us three whispered July”.

“Who... Ask Audy”.

“That's in front of the room, in the corner there point July”.

“It looks like he asked us to approach him whispered Andre”.

“Aduhhhh... I'm afraid ahhh, I swear why do we have to deal with all the grandmothers sighh, still parno nih me?? word July while *******-*****hand its”.

“Yaaa.. already then I'm the same Audy who went there, you just stay here explained Andre while holding Audy's hand and then they walk to the corner of kamar”.

“Yay... I'm coming !!!!!…… cried July as she ran after Andre and Audy from behind”.

The three of them walked over to an old woman sitting in a wheelchair in front of her room.

“Good morning Grandma, greet Andre”.

“Morning..Annma replied, looking intently at Audy who was standing next to Andre”.

“Grandma call us Ask July”.

“You... Yes you, are you the same person in this photo Ask the Grandma while showing a photo of Audy together with her Mama”.

Audy was surprised to see the photo in Grandma's hand.

“I... iyah Nek, right it is I replied Audy nervously”.

“Yaaa.. Lord, so it's true you are Raden Retno's grandson the Grandmother said again with her teary eyes”.

“Daddy...it's name Eyang I replied Audy again”.

“From Nak.... come closer, it turns out you are already big said the Grandma while hugging tightly the body of Audy”.

Andre and July looked at each other when they saw Audy's slightly confused and scared face in Grandma's arms.

“Grandmother is familiar with My Eyeang, Ask Audy”.

“Daddy... I am a companion of Your Eyang, who has been trusted to help and take care of all his needs explained Grandma it”.

“Whose Grandma's name, Tanya Andre”.

“I... Karti, just call me Mbah Karti answer”.

“Means Mbah Karti knows with his name Mbah Sarinah, Tanya Audy hesitated”.

Mbah Karti nodded his head while rubbing the tears that glistened on his cheeks.

“Mbah Sarinah is now in my house, I am here to want to know more about her, because all this time I never knew who she was explained Audy while looking at Mbah Karti”.

“Sarinah is Raden Retno's adoptive sister, Raden Retno is very dear to him. He was so spoiled by your Eyeang. But over time Sarinah hoped for something more, which she did not have said Mbah Karti”.

“What is Mbah.. Ask July curiously”.

“Sarinah... secretly likes Raden Retno's husband named Pramono, But Mr. Pramono is not tempted by her at all. He is very loving and loyal to his wife. Raden Retno is very beautiful compared to Sarinah. Her beauty is what makes her husband amazed and crazy about her. Every effort was shown by Sarinah to grab the attention of Mr. Pramono. But unfortunately Mr. Pramono is not interested by him” at all.

“Lho, Eyang Retno did not know that Mbah Sarinah teased Eyang Kakung Tanya Audy confused”.

“That's it.. Because unfortunately with Sarinah, Raden Retno did not believe that her adopted sister was teasing her husband. One day Sarinah went to the place of a smart person who is black, she wanted to beautify herself so that she looks more beautiful compared to Raden Retno in the eyes of Mr. Pramono. I don't know what the requirements are and he agrees with the smart man. Suddenly she became very beautiful. Not only that but Sarinah at that time became very good at dancing. If he dances a lot of men are crazy about him. Sarinah always dances in red, she looks very graceful like an angel. And finally Mr. Pramono fell in love with him explained Mbah Karti”.

“Mbah Karti know where, if Mbah Sarinah was beautifying herself to a black person Tanya Andre”.

“I always follow him, frankly I really don't like Sarinah. He's a hypocrite, a two-faced man. I know what he wants to plan. Sarinah doesn't like me either, because Raden Retno always defends me if we both fight. So that one day Sarinah accused me of taking away the decorations belonging to the lost Raden Retno. I knew it was one of his evil plans to get rid of me, unfortunately at that time Raden Retno was more trusting of his adopted brother. And I was fired and kicked out of the house, but from a distance I kept a close eye on him because I was very sorry for Reden Retno and his family.

Not long ago I came out, there was an incident where Sarinah was caught by Raden Retno was teasing Mr. Pramono who was very crazy about Sarinah at that time. Raden Retno was very angry, finally he drove Sarinah from his home. A few months later Mr. Pramono died of a very mysterious disease, Raden Retno was devastated and sad. Finally he called me and asked me to stay at his house. I also explained to Raden Retno about what Sarinah has done so far. Raden Retno was very surprised and asked me to find a way out, because since Sarinah's departure there have been so many excuses beyond reason experienced by Raden Retno's family. Until one day I met a very good and well-educated man, he was willing to help Raden Retno, he said that Sarinah would not be able to die, because the knowledge he learned would prolong his life and eternal beauty, but not for his body. Because his body is the same as ours who will age, explained Mbah karti lengthen”.

Audy, July and Andre are shocked to hear Mbah Karti's story. Audy took a deep breath, and then she told Mbah Karti all the things she was going through right now, who kept looking at her.

Then what should I do Mbah, Ask Audy with her face that melas”.

“You are the only key that can save yourself and your family Mbah Karti” replied.

“Sa... I.. said Audy stammering”.

“Iyah.. because what can hinder Sarinah is the third generation of Raden Retno family, that is you replied Mbah Karti”.

“Mbah Sarinah knows that Mbah Karti is also here and lives in a home with her Tanya July”.

“Iyah..it was my plan and Raden Retno to pay attention to Sarinah's behavior And since then secretly Sarinah always tried to attack me. But lately his body is getting older, he can not move anymore, he can only lie on the bed, but his spirit can still walk elsewhere and scare many people. Since then Sarinah has returned to your home. Because the foundation and the residents of this home are very uncomfortable because they often see the exact figure with Sarinah, which often appears at night. I was very surprised by the decision of the caretaker because this was beyond my plan. Sarinah will be closer to you, she will make you her growth to strengthen her body so that she becomes young again replied Mbah Karti”.

“Yaaa.. God said Audy while looking at Mbah Karti”.

“I am very relieved that you are here, because I am not allowed out by the foundation, finally my prayer was answered Mbah Karti” said.

Mbah Karti then took out a small bottle from within his peril.

“The contents of this small bottle are potions given by smart people I met, he said, the knowledge that Sarinah has will be lost if she drinks this herb that has been mixed by a drop of blood from the third descendant of Raden Retno, that is you explained Mbah Karti”. You must save yourself from the plan of Sarinah, you must cripple it first. To make yourself safe Mbah Karti” said.

It's like a very bad dream Audy said in her heart. Why did this happen to me.

“This is a message from your Eyeang, in order for you to be safe. Mama you never knew about this incident, Mama you put Sarinah in this home when Sarinah was found and no one wanted to take care of her. Me and Raden Retno promised to always take care of you, once Raden Retno died I am the responsibility of you and Raden Retno's extended family said Mbah Karti”.

Audy received a small bottle of Mbah karti. Then he held it firmly. Is it just me, the only person, who can help myself, Audy thought.

“Terus what should we do now?? Tanya July who started conversation”.

“We have to trust what Mbah Karti is saying at the moment Andre” said.

“But if I can afford to do this all, I have to fight people who have magic whereas I'm not too sure what I have now explained Audy”.

“It's like a story in a movie?? it is very scary to remember the incident last night, said July”.

“Loe must dare Dy, face this all. Loe could see Mbah Sarinah who was actually helpless in bed. Maybe he was tired, but with his high knowledge his spirit was still strong to fulfill his ambition. And this threatens your life. Loe must be brave Dy... I and July will definitely help you explained Andre”.

“Daddy.. Dy, right what Andre said. And.. remember there is still someone else we have to save, who is now very close to Mbah Sarinah said July”.

“Mbok Surti…??? audy replied while staring at July”.

“Daddy... Mbok Surti must be confused looking for us who suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night, said July”.

“Hmmm... If later we are home?? We act like people who don't know anything, we take it easy, don't show that the three of us are panicking or scared. Believe me Mbah Sarinah that during the day must be helpless and can only lie on his bed, he said, Then we quietly go into Mbah sarinah's room and we immediately hiccup this herb into his mouth when he is helpless explained Andre”.

Audy and July nodded their heads at the sign they had understood what Andre meant. Hopefully this plan goes smoothly Audy murmured in his heart. The journey of the three of them ended when they arrived in front of Audy's house which looked very lonely. Audy rang the doorbell of her house. It was not long before Mbok Surti opened the big dark brown door.

“Lho... Non Audy anywhere anyway, kok suddenly go not alone with Mbok Surti tanyanya anxious”.

“Suddenly last night had to go to Andre's house, taking a lecture assignment. sorry Audy did not have time to say goodbye to Mbok replied Audy lying”.

“Mbah Sarinah again said Mbok Tanya July who ventured to ask the whereabouts of Mbah Sarinah”.

“Sedang rested in the room, Alhamdulilah suddenly now Ibu Sarinah can sit on the sofa with her room and can talk even though still stammer replied Mbok Surti happily”.

“APA…?? shouted Audy and July surprised, when he heard Mbok Surti”'s explanation.

“Why Non…?? Tanya Mbok Surti confused”.

“Hmm... nothing Mbok replied Audy while smiling anxiously”.

“Mbok Surti stay inside first yes, want to feed Mother Sarinah for lunch beramit Mbok Surti while walking to leave them threesome”.

Audy, July and Andre whisper after Mbok Surti leaves the living room. Audy's face turned pale when she heard Mbah Sarinah was able to sit down and talk. He was increasingly helpless and afraid to face Mbah Sarinah later.

“Aduhhhh... how does this Ask Audy Anxious”.

“Gileee... how can that be?? word July fear”.

“Hmmmmm.. try to wait until it is safe, if Mbah Sarinah is sound asleep we settle into her room. Hopefully it works out explains Andre”.

“But what is possible, our situation is safe if we are here continue whispered July”.

“Now we think positively, Mbah Sarinah herself and the four of us with Mbok surti. hopefully our plan succeeds to entertain Andre”.

“Should we tell Mbok Surti about Mbah Sarinah Tanya Audy”.

July and Andre looked at each other then they both smiled at Audy while shaking their heads.

“Not Dy, pity Mbok Surti is old. Later he will be afraid or keep thinking about this problem explained July”.

At dusk the three of them were still stunned waiting for safety to carry out their plans in Audy's room. The situation around the house became gripping after the azan Isha reverberated. The usually bright lights were thundering as if they were becoming dim and gloomy. There was no sound heard from outside the house. Audy looked at the small bottle of Mbah Karti. His body trembled, his mind drifting far away somewhere. It was a heavy burden that he felt right now. Audy took a deep breath and then she glanced at Andre who had been looking at her from a distance. Andre smiled at Audy, as if he was giving her a meaningful spirit. Hmmmm. whether tonight I can save myself this and the others, then what if something happens to July and Andre. The two of them had nothing to do with this all, what if they were both injured because I thought Audy was sad. Suddenly July went into the room, with a confused looking mimic of his face he said.

“Guys…?? Strange why Mbok Surti prepared a lot of dinner and delicious, like a party, said July while scratching his head”.

“What do you mean Jul?? Ask Audy confused”.

“Daddy... Mbok Surti prepared a lot of food for dinner, Hmm I last night when he cleaned the dining table replied July”.

“Perhaps because there are loe and Andre times, so Mbok Surti prepared more dinner, fear less problem explained Audy”.

It wasn't long before Mbok Surti knocked on Audy's room and told the three of them to come down for dinner. Setiba in the dining room Audy, July and Andre were surprised to see the whereabouts of Mbah Sarinah who had sat there first. Audy hurriedly stuffed the small bottle she was holding into her pants pocket. Mbah Sarinah was wearing the red kebaya that Audy had seen before, her thin, helpless body looking fresh that night. Mbah Sarinah did not say a word, but her eyes seemed to hint at something very mysterious. Audy and Mbah Sarinah sat face to face, their eyes both looking. I have to be strong to deal with it, no matter what happens I have to beat it. He's a very evil person Audy muttered in his heart. Suddenly Mbah Sarinah smiled, her eyes looking sharply at Audy, as if she understood and knew what Audy was thinking right now. Audy gulps her saliva then she starts to regulate her breathing which starts to pant. Audy smiled back at Mbah Sarinah's smile with her blank eyes.

“Come... Did you eat?? It's been night with Mbok Surti”.

Mbok Surti immediately serves Mbah Sarinah. Adeptly Mbok Surti gave food to Mbah Sarinah. Mbok Surti looks very submissive and respects Mbah sarinah, it seems he is happy to see the situation of Mbah Sarinah is different from when he first came to this house. Audy, July and Andre noticed the movements of the two of them. Mbah Sarinah looks greedy to eat whatever Mbok Surti gives. Like a starving man Mbah Sarinah quickly chewed on the thighs of a chicken that was on his plate. Audrey was confused to see it. His way of eating was so different he was so greedy as a man who had not seen food for days.

Strange...it doesn't seem like Mbah Sarinah is in front of me Audy thought. July looked at Audy and then she shook her head, Hmmm...Where are the Granny cepets so chewy chicken meat?? something is wrong, July said in her heart.

“Lho.. kok you guys do not eat rebukes Mbok Surti”.

“I'm full Mbok replied July”.

What a strange sight that night. Finished eating Mbah sarinah in Mbok Surti papah to his room. Audy, July and Andre are in the dining room.

“Oath... I have no taste for food said Audy who got up from the chair then he walked up the stairs to his room followed by July and Andre”.

Once in the room they discussed what they had seen earlier. The more obvious the difference presented by Mbah Sarinah. The night was getting late and cold pierced to the bone. In the room the three of them looked increasingly confused and riled up. Even the night felt so long.

CLICK...Audy's house lights suddenly went out. Darkness enveloped all the rooms in it, silence and coldness increasingly felt. Audy panicked as if she was running out of oxygen. That's Audy feeling because she's afraid of the dark.

To. please. I'm afraid Audy whispered while adjusting her breath, July hugged Audy tightly while Andre tried to find a flashlight or something that could light up the room.

“Loe take a deep breath Dy then you let out slowly, you have to calm down do not panic said July who calmed his best friend it”.

Andre found a large candle inside the desk drawer, and then he burned the wick. Audy's room became a little light.

“Why zetset house is not wrong said Audy nervy”.

July shook her head while looking at Audy.

“Now we have to how.. said Audy again”.

“It looks like we have to get out of here, we have to find Mbok Surti. I am afraid he is in danger now because Mbok Surti does not know anything explained Andre”.

Audy and July nodded their heads, and the three of them came out of the room down the stairs, which were illuminated only by the candlelight. Arriving in the middle room again there was a sound of gamelan from a distance like yesterday night, but at this time the rhythm sounded very sad and heartbreaking. July and Audy hold hands while Andre is in front of them holding a candle to light the way.

“Mbokkk.. Mbok Surttiiiiii.

Audy called Mbok Surti many times but there was no answer at all from Mbok Surti. Around the room was getting worse. They walked slowly towards the dining room, suddenly the candlelight that Andre was holding died instantly. The candle was extinguished like someone had deliberately blown it from the front of Andre. Audy hugged July tightly.The situation around them became pitch-black again. The gamelan sounds are getting closer and closer.

“We'll just get out of here whispered Audy”.

“But we have to find Mbok Surti first Dy replied Andre”.

“Mboooooookkkkkkk... Mbookkk Surti is whereaaaaaaaa????? Shouted Audy for so many times”.

“I... am I here Non?? Mbok Surti replied from a distance”.

“Dimanaaaa... Mboookkkkk shouted Audy again”.

“Diiniiiiii. replied Mbok Surti”.
