Episode 31

Having a comfortable dwelling is definitely the desire of everyone , even if it is just a rented house, but the reality is in accordance with the ability and all must be grateful so that all can feel comfortable , because if you look down there are still many things that may be much more difficult .

1991 In the city of BKN . Me and my two younger sisters live in a small and very modest rented house, yet I am very grateful there is still a place to live , because at that time my sister and I were studying in a better school than the school in my village . I went to 1st High School BKN, while my sister was nining in 1st Junior High School and susan was in elementary school . In that city we lived three lives because both of our parents were in the village .

The house consists of one living room plus a small family room, one bedroom and kitchen, without any wells also WC, WC , our mck needs are behind the rental owner's house which is quite far about fifty meters from the house we rented . With such conditions, of course, it is very difficult for us, especially if at midnight to urinate let alone defecate , we have to mentally strengthen going to the well and the WC that is behind the rental owner's house . The situation is quite dark surrounded by lush rambutan and mangosteen trees, worse the owner of the house did not give light even though only 5 Watt lights . In that rental house, I have some big bucket jeligen that can be used to hold water when it rains . There is no choice for us but to keep trying to be grateful and happy even though the conditions are difficult .

Seen as the child of a difficult person, let alone away from parents, we try to save in the daily needs to eat . Away can eat well with a variety of side dishes, can eat rice with vegetables alone we are happy . Our favorite vegetable is kale, because it is the cheapest vegetable hehehe .

4 Days we have lived in the house, everything feels fine, until the fifth day precisely on Thursday and Friday night . On Thursday afternoon after school I cooked for lunch at once for dinner which was helped by my two sisters, at that time my two younger sisters were still small they could not cook , so I'm all working on it . After lunch , for a while we rest and after planning to go to the well to wash clothes that have been piled up , understand it has been four days not washing clothes , in addition to busy school there is also a sense of laziness because it is far to the well . Kira thought at 3 pm I and my two sisters were preparing to go to the well, but arrived....

"Jelegeer.." there was a thunderous sound of lightning that was accompanied by strong winds, before long the drizzle began to fall .

"So it looks like it's raining" said my little brother Susan . True what susan said if at that time drizzling rain began to fall, plus the atmosphere outside looks starting to dark, even though it was only three in the afternoon .

''Yes the deck does not need to be holy first, anyways in the well must be dark, now just go back home and close all the windows'' I answered from the inside and told me to go back into the house which was in front of the house to go to the well .

We did not wash our clothes and went back inside the house . Inside the house we gathered while reading the textbooks only . Time continued to run until without feeling the prayer time fardu maghrib arrived, the sound of the adhan rang out from the mosque, we did congregational prayers in the house , after we had dinner , ' he said , continue with learning .

Outside the house, rain from the drizzle is now turning into a torrent, but not accompanied by lightning, only occasionally seen flashes of lightning only .

''sister, we are holy at home how can the rain be heavy" said Nining expressed his idea

"Yes also deck , let it be a suntan tomorrow morning" I replied and agreed with the idea , then after finishing the textbook , we began to prepare to wash in the kitchen .

At that time I and my two sisters were very happy and excited, washing clothes, even mopping the house, because the rain was getting heavier and heavier , we were holding water with all the available places . When we were washing clothes and it was raining, we arrived....

"Hihihihi." faintly heard the laughter of a woman who was not so clear from which direction , for a moment we stopped activities to clarify hearing , we fell silent and looked at each other .

"Maybe the brother behind the house, brother, if they laugh so much" chirped nining to me

”Can be a deck , yes it is aja''' replied me . Then we continued washing .

That night around the house felt very quiet, maybe the residents decided to quickly sleep, because the rush of rain was also a Friday night kliwon . Little did I describe the situation and position of our rental house . to his left side by side with 1 house, while to his right an alley that separates with a fairly wide expanse of vacant land , at the end of the vacant land there is a permanent house about 30 meters behind the permanent house there is a house, a stilt house made entirely of wood, and , the house looks very old but the physical building of the house still looks sturdy . According to the story of residents if the house has been empty for a long time .

In front of the old house precisely in the front right corner there is a pond measuring about 16 meters which the entire surface of the pool is covered with kale , on the edge of the pond close to the house stood a fairly lush rambutan tree . The atmosphere in the area of the house was very dark because there was no lighting or lights, only a slight bias of incandescent light from the back of the permanent house in front of the empty house .

"Alhamdulillah finally finished also yes deck" I told my sister

After we finished for a while we took a break while drinking hot tea .

"Oya the deck in the pool in front of the empty house, yesterday you saw a lot of kale and lush loh" said I to nine, nining , who somehow arrived I remembered the kale in the pond

''iya bener kak , how do we take yok tonight 'cause if the day is ashamed of the same people" answered nining also who all gave the idea to pick kale when it was also , and without thinking I immediately agree .

''let's take the deck, we're alone ', let susan be at home while darkening the floor so that the chips dry''

Finally me and nining went to take the kale that was in the pool in front of the empty house . Actually if picking kale during the day is also no problem , no one will be angry , but we feel ashamed , because the locals do not like water kale and only we want to eat it because yes for us at that time the important thing is free .

On the edge of the dim pool, I and nining immediately plucked a kale and put it in a small sack, because it was a lot of kale , it didn't take long for the sack to be almost full and we'd have filled the sack up . Just arrive...

"Football, byuuur''

I stopped my activities because I was a little surprised, I heard the sound of water flapping from the middle of the pool, hmm. Maybe the fish thought me , then I continued picking kale , just a few minutes arrived...

''Foot ... byar .. byur"

This time it is not just the sound of water flapping like a fish, but the sound of water pounding from the pond to the kale that creeps over the surface of the pond swaying and moving strong , as if something big was going to come out of the pool . As I was shocked even afraid, reflex I stood up and pulled my sister's hand nining ran away from the pool, not forgetting my left hand pulled the sack containing the kale home . Upon arrival at home I entered through the kitchen door that was open immediately closed and locked the door , with heavy breathing I sat on the floor near the window that led to the empty house .

"What is it like being so scared ?" asked Susan who was surprised to see the two of us coming home in fear .

I did not answer , while trying to calm myself I tried to peek out of the window into the empty house .

From the dim light of the incandescent light beam I saw a black figure slowly gleaming out of the pool rising to the ground, the shiny black figure standing motionless facing into the pool .

"Auuuu... guk... guk ..." there was the sound of a humble howling dog that came out of nowhere , even seen by me some dogs arrive while continuing to howl near the black figure under the rambutan tree .

With a thumping chest and trembling body, both of my eyes continued to look towards the frightening figure under the rambutan tree .... the figure re-entered the pool by jumping so as to cause a pounding and splashing of rushing water to the top of the horde of dogs on the edge of the pool . The moment the horde of dogs kept barking and howling made me and my two sisters shudder in horror at hearing it . Then the horde of dogs went somewhere . I was horrified to see this unusual sight, it was clearly not human, for it came out of the pool and went back into the pool . So I thought it was raging .

''What's there ?" ask me to nining slowly

"What's wrong deck, please copy your clothes and just sleep, it's late at night nih''' answered I don't intend to tell what I saw to my two sisters, ' he said , because I'm afraid they'll be scared . Then we decided to go to sleep .

A week later.. that afternoon we were cleaning the yard of the house, although only a little there is still some land at the back of the house that has been overgrown with weeds , and the plan we will plant the yam wood, seen in the old house there are some men are cleaning the house both inside and the yard, maybe the house will be inhabited think me .

Sure enough my guess, some men who amounted to ten people rented the house, those from Java who worked as interior makers of luxury and classic houses , precisely the interior expert made of wood . They work from morning and come home after maghrib .

"Where's the deck ?" ask one of them who turned out to be named mas warno

"In that tenement house mas" I replied while showing my house which was not far from his house

"Oo lives in that house, where are his parents ?" ask me again

Long story short I told you all why I was in BKN city at that time . Hearing my story, they fell silent and salute because at a very young age even still classified our children dare to be away from parents to school .

"Dek just like this. if adek want , we will work to leave in the morning and go home in the evening , adek help us cook rice and drinking water also clean this house , so if we go home all ready, because we came home tired so to cook it was already lazy, just think of it as your own home, so adek can eat all of you here'' mas warno said to me offering

Got the offer without thinking this and that I immediately agreed, even I was very happy because obviously it was very helpful to our needs .

In the next day, my sister and I began to carry out the task, which is to clean the house and cook for the mas java . Not too difficult for us, because cooking only rice and side dishes is of course easy for us to carry it out and all that does not interfere with school activities .

Thursday afternoon approximately at 5 pm . looks cloudy sky , sign of the day will rain, it's true that shortly afterwards there is a small lightning sound that followed the rain . At that time we just finished cleaning the house with the next plan to cook . I cooked rice and my sister cleaned vegetables, we worked together to get the job done quickly and we were able to get home early . At 6.30 wib, all is done and we will go home , but outside it looks rain is getting heavier and even lightning starts to sound big accompanied by a flash of blinding flashes .

"The rain is heavy on deck , we just wait here while studying" I said to my sister who we carry a textbook every time we work at home .

After performing maghrib prayer at home, we continued to study while waiting for the rain to subside a little later we came home .

"Dok.. doc.." While we were studying, there was a knock twice on the front door, I put the book down and walked up to the door and opened it , maybe mas mas went home thinking me .

Ceklek... door I open and wuuuusss .... A slightly strong wind blew in, his name was also out in the rain. After I opened the door wide, but outside I found no one .

''Mas... mas.. have gone home huh ?'' call me , silence no answer , only the sound of the roar of heavy rain rang out strongly on the zinc roof of the house , then I stepped out to the edge of the terrace .

Kira thought three meters in front of him there is a rambutan as well as a pond filled with wild kale , but in that place since the house was inhabited by the Javanese mas no longer dark because it was installed lights & thus at that time I could look in all directions clearly . Unintentionally I looked down at the lush rambutan tree, there I saw someone standing there, looking , I thought it was one of those mas mas who had come home from work and greeted him .

''Mas. mas .. entered the raining mas profusely" called me to him, but as he did not hear , the figure was silent not answering .

"Guk.. guk.. auuuu.." I just heard the sound of a barking dog , even then it began to look some stray dogs began to arrive in the yard of the house near the pool where the figure stood .

Deeegh... arrived my heart pounding and the fur of my romance immediately brushed, I remember the incident a week ago when taking the kale in the pool , aware of what happened I immediately turned right and ran into the house, bruaaak door I closed and all I lock . Seeing me enter hurriedly even closed the door loudly, of course to my two brothers surprised and asked .

"What's the big brother running and closing the door ?" ask nineing to me

"Not what deck , beyond many dogs'' I replied briefly

Then sit back together and continue learning with nining and susan , even though my heart and mind are not funny . Time shows 9pm . I'm getting nervous because the mas haven't even come home yet, which is usually at 8pm they've come home . hmmm .

We gathered in the living room, the house was quite large, the house consisted of four bedrooms, living room, living room and kitchen . The house is a house stage but the position of the kitchen under or interlaced with cement, so that from the family room to the kitchen down by using stairs made of wood , bathroom there is only one position facing the kitchen .

"Yes already daft ya brother get his rice, susan learn aja sama kak nining ya" I told him

I opened the door from the living room to the kitchen, slowly I opened the door because honestly there was a feeling of doubt in my heart , as soon as the kitchen door opened I smelled a pungent scent from the kitchen room, a fishy smell that I knew nothing about, I continued to step up and opened the door wider , my eyes looked straight at me on the dinner table and immediately took a plate and put in a few spoons of rice, vegetables and a piece of omelette , then immediately I stepped back to the family room , I suddenly heard a growling sound and a rough grunt from my left .

I turned my face toward the source of the voice, astaghfirulloh.. only Istighfar could speak from my lips, for I was completely shocked by what I saw at the time . Right in front of the open bathroom door I saw a shiny black figure in the middle standing facing me, that figure as my body size might only be higher , because my gaze at that time was only limited to his neck, lucky I did not have time to see his face because maybe because of the extreme fear .

"Haaaaah.." the figure returned a voice but did not growl, but rather hissing or a rude snort .

A situation that is very amazingly scary, all I can do at that time is pray in my heart without being able to move my mouth let alone body, in my heart I said "paaaak please dayat sir"

Well I always cry out for help to God and my father every time I face it, I don't know how to get strength if I shout for help to my father even if only in the heart . Sure enough, instantly my body can I move and immediately I run into the family room .

Upon arrival in the family room , with trembling hands I gave the rice I brought to my sister , luckily my two sisters did not see my attitude which at that time was trembling because of fear . My sister susan immediately ate and indeed she looked really hungry already .

Outside the house there was still heavy rain although slowly began to subside, but strangely the sound of the dog's howling was still heard, even heard under the house , my sister was very frightened , susan stopped eating and inched closer to me .

''What's wrong, what's outside ?" tanya nining with a pale face . I didn't answer the question, I just said slowly ,

"Now we pray for protection from Allah''

Then we began to recite the holy verse of the Qur'an which we memorized simultaneously

"Gludag... gludug.." as we were reading the holy verse of the Quran arrived just above the ceiling of the house made of woven bamboo cubicles was heard a rowdy sound , and like there were footsteps, this time my sister started to shed tears, well they started crying out of fear .

I as a brother certainly try to calm down and even have to protect them, although I myself feel fear as well . The noise was getting worse, even began to sound like people were chatting indistinctly from inside the kitchen, this time the fear turned into a sense of emotion that was somehow mixed , I screamed loudly .

"Haiii the devil, damned you. Don't bother us, I'm not afraid of you and you'll regret if it keeps bothering us" I said loudly . Perhaps my attitude was so because of the fear that had gone beyond the limit . Also I remember my father's message, if disturbed by a genie and recited the holy verse of the Qur'an does not go away either, then just maki him . So, my father's message to me .

For a moment after I cursed , there was still a noise even the sound of laughter chuckling , then silence was no longer heard the sound of that voice , changed with the smell of fishy fresh blood burst into the living room . Outside the sound of rain has stopped , but with the stop of rain , the atmosphere felt more and more quiet .

''brother, the rain has stopped...we go home only yuk" whispered nining to me . Hearing nining take home , for a moment I just silently did not respond to his invitation , because I made sure if everything was safe . Feeling safe situation I finally stood up and took my two sisters home , who first tidied up the textbook as well as a rice plate that had just eaten a little .

We came out of the house and locked the door, but we just got off the porch, there was a roar of the sound of several motorcycle units coming in and the lights panned into the yard . yesah it was the Javanese mas band came, saw them coming , we undo the steps home to go home , waiting for their arrival .

Long story short, after they entered the house 'I told them what we had just experienced 'heard my story they were silent and looked at each other

"Previously mas apologise yes dek , we were overtime , besides that also want to go home can not rain heavily" he said giving reasons why they were slow to go home .

''yes deck , in fact we also know , often there are those who come disturbing this house , just do not want the same story sister , sister , because I thought my sister was just noon until Maghrib alone in this house, if you tell me later you are afraid" he continued

''yes, yes, maghrib after finishing the house and cooking, we want to go home, but the rain is heavy and outside a lot of dogs, finally we decided to wait until we just returned home mas'' I replied in response to Warno's remarks.

"Yes already now sister can go home yes delivered mas lihin" said mas warno to us, then he told mas lihin deliver us , but I refused because actually our house is not far away . Then we went home .

The next day we as usual after school started doing work at our rented house, and then just started cleaning the mas java house , we were indeed given 1 house backup key to make it easy to get into their house .

Because the events of the past that really made us shock, then we did the work accelerated and strived before the maghrib was finished so that we could immediately go home to our home .

As planned before maghrib work at home mas java completed . At the rented house after Maghrib time we ate, then continued by studying until 9 pm, after which we decided to sleep . Since our rental house has only one room, my two sisters sleep in the room while I sleep in the front room or living room .

Before going to bed as usual I turn off all the lights on the inside , only the lights on the front and back porch are alive 'but even though all the lights inside are turned off it does not become pitch black , due to the bias of the light beam from the ventilation gap Masi enter into , making the atmosphere inside only dim .

After reading the do'a I began to close my eyes, feeling tired my body that day, because of the many activities . But just as the two eyes were closed, I smelled something unpleasant, a pungent smell burst forth as if filling the narrow room like the fishy smell of fresh blood , but I think it's sharper .

I did not intend to open my eyes even though I was not asleep at the time, because I was sure something was going to happen , sure enough a moment later faintly I heard the sound of heavy breathing and a rough snort , the longer the clearer was heard approaching by me . My heart was getting worse, my chest was pounding harder and faster, well I remembered the moment I was in that old house, initially smelling the fishy smell of blood, which finally appeared creepy creatures near me .

At that instant I felt the atmosphere in the room turned very cold like an AC room . There was nothing I could do, I just kept quiet but in my heart I kept praying for protection from God, slowly the atmosphere in the room returned to normal and the smell of carnation was gone .

Feeling the situation was back to normal and safe, I opened my eyes and immediately got up to turn on the lights, when the lights I turned on and the room became bright , my eyes were on the cement floor . Astaghfirulloh .. I saw on the floor there was a splotch of water like an adult's footprints, back my chest pounding . O Allah protect us, O God of all the corrupt satanic disturbances, so my heart pleads with Allah .

Sunday is certainly a fun day for students because it is a school holiday, let alone I see in the calendar Monday red date anyway, quite two holidays I think , but I was confused about where to go because we had no activities, want to go home quite heavy for us to fare .

Finally we used to wash our shoes and clothes and when we were drying clothes behind the house, I saw the mas mas java was raising goods to the pick up car, ' he said , of course I'm surprised and curious, where are you going ? after I finished drying my clothes, my sister and I approached them and asked .

"Well on lifting things, where are you going ?"

"Eh Dayat deck, yes dek , it was mas to adek house but nothing" replied mas warno

Mas Warno approached me and said....

"Dek, we want to move house because here is a distance from work, besides this house is also not good deck & should also move adek from here"

Looks like warno understands if I don't understand . Then he took me to sit on the porch and he continued his story .

"So this is deck , in this house and the environment many of its inhabitants are evil spirits, they disturb , mas have tried to communicate with them but they do not seem to want to talk , moreover, the creatures that are in the pool"

Hearing what mas warno said if in the pool there was a waiter for him at once I felt very surprised and said

''Ja so mas also know that in the pool there is a ghost ?" kataku while staring at warno

While nodding, warno asked me back

''Loh deck dayat see also huh ?"

''Yes, we saw it before we lived in this house 'even last night it came to the house mas... Actually why is that creature bothering ?" answer me with fear

Mas warno was even more surprised to hear my story if last night the creature came to me at home

''Dek , in the pool, there used to be a Dutchman who was killed and buried there, and since then he has always shaken and disturbed , the same person who just lived here , if the result of communication with him , he was looking for people to be made friends in the pond , which he thought was his royal palace , it means that the creature is looking for people to be used as collateral, so you should quickly move from here deck'' said mas warno at length & worried about us .

Hearing the story of mas warno of course I was horrified and afraid, as well as sad , because we had to move where , also move it is definitely there must be money to find and pay for the rent of the house again .

''Yes mas ', but we do not have money to pay rent for the house anymore 'if that means you have to go home first to the village'' said sad

"Look off deck , rather than returning home out of time , you should use it today to find another rental house yes , the cost problem will help yes , & yes , the important thing is that you quickly move from here 'cause he (ghost) is after one of you three''' he said again with a serious face

Long story short, mas warno before leaving to move , he gave money of 150 thousand to me , plus pocket money 30 thousand for us as a sign of gratitude because we have been helping them , nominal so for that time was very big for us, I say a lot of thanks to him , with that money I immediately looked for another affordable rental house and Alhamdulillah Sunday afternoon I can rent a house close to the school nining , with a rental price of 15 thousand per month .

After being paid directly 2 months, we cleaned the house and then we moved to a new rented house . Everything was going well and we were happy because it was so much closer to going to school and obviously we no longer always felt scared because of the nuisance or creepy sighting again .

On Monday night we had been living in a new rented house, very simple house, semi-permanent, there was one room, not much different from the previous house , no bathroom , but not far from the bathroom is generally behind the house of the owner . Maybe because of the fatigue called the move, that night we fell asleep immediately, plus heavy rain continued to flutter the earth, huh that time was indeed the middle of the rainy season .

Day that is not bright, because of the heavy rain, plus a bang and lightning flash as if it was colliding forces , I was on the edge of a wide river with a very heavy current too , I was picking up a very large fish probably stranded due to the impact of the water wave .

Suddenly just a big wave of water came hitting my body, I was dragged by the wave of water and washed away by the rushing stream of the river , luckily there was a piece of board that I could use to hold onto so that my body would not sink, but I was on board hit by a large round wood that was washed away as well .

Bruaaak, I was drowning in water, my breath felt tight as it slowly began to enter my body , I kept struggling with reaching out in all directions hoping that there was something I could achieve so hold on and finally...

With a loud breath I can come to the surface, I survived, I swept my eyes in all directions, Thank God I give thanks because it turns out I only dream, but when it is true, I am grateful, I was in the water, and it turned out that our new rental house was flooded because of the heavy rain that hit the earth that night .

In panic I stood up, confused as to what to do . As soon as my consciousness returned full , remembering my two sisters sleeping in the room , I immediately stepped into the room and opened the door to check , Thank God my brother is not wet because they sleep on a wooden couch .

Seeing my two sisters still asleep and safe, I heaved a sigh of relief . And I stayed that night unable to sleep and there was nothing I could do but wait for morning to arrive .
