Bloody Pesantren

Tap Water

The clock showed at 12pm, I got out of bed watching my friends.

Maybe I have to be alone, I don't want to interrupt them if I'm involved in the current situation.

I tidied up the blanket that had covered my body, walked slowly not wanting to open any of them.

"Ra?"  The call made me stop immediately, even though I was walking as quietly as possible. It's their ears that are too sensitive or indeed I am too noisy to wake one of them.

"You haven't slept?" I turned around trying as quietly as possible,

"Not fit, why are you awake?" I walked back to bed, Fitri looking restless.

"Actually from earlier I could not sleep, stomach pain.wanted to go to the toilet but did not dare. He wants to wait until 3, but I don't think I can"

"Why not wake me up? usually so too" I've become their subscription if they suddenly have a stomachache or midnight keblet.

"You're sick again, I see you've just been sleeping. It's not good to wake up"

I got up and told him to stand up. I can't see my friend in distress like this. Chance also I did intend to go as well as before, so now it is better if there are friends there will be no one who thinks of all sorts if midnight goes to the well.

But if there's anything later what? Don't think of anything uncertain.

"Let me go" Fitri nodded, she did look so in pain. Just imagine the nahan mules from earlier, not dear pain.

"Your hijab is Fit" I reminded Fitri who almost went out without wearing a hijab. Although only go to the toilet which is still the dormitory area of the princess, but do not forget in this area there is also the home of ustadz and ustadzah who are married and are afraid to meet with Mr. Rahman as well, because I always meet the guard of the canteen by the pool every nemenin friends.

Fitri immediately grabbed the hijab and bucket.

"Come on Ra, I can't stand it" Fitri opened the door, I followed her out and walked beside her.

"Na Udaah knows not yet, in our generation there is a new santri" I glanced at him for a moment, Basic emang my friend this one when again stomach pain and rush gini still discussed which I think there is no benefit.

"The story later, you will get more stomach pain"

"But he was handsome with Ra, yesterday I was the same other accidentally saw him"

"Yes-iya let's hunt" I reminded again, Fitri nodded and quickened her pace.

What I said was right, tonight I meet again with Mr. Rahman, this cafeteria guard loves to sit alone by the pool.

"Malem sir" Sapaku when passing by Mr. Rahman, Rahman turned his head and smiled, so continue every time I greet him when meeting nights like this. Mr. Rahman raised his right hand to point towards the tomb right in front of us. This boarding school is indeed flanked by two tombs, he said, one of his tombs is more indented to the princess dormitory area and one more tomb shelters the men's dormitory more like an umbrella.

Mr. Rahman nodded as I looked at him confused.

"Ra come!" Shouted Fitri who turned out to be near the entrance. I immediately rushed to pity him, out of nowhere was the stomach ache.

Fitri went into the toilet, and now I live alone outside. I was about to sit by the well but the intention was to say, I do not want the incident a week ago to repeat. I'm pretty stressed about what I'm going through right now.

I walked closer to the faucet that is near the well, while waiting for Fitri better I wudhu to calm the heart and mind, because to be honest I still wonder why Mr. Rahman pointed at the tomb and nodded at me earlier.

I turned the faucet, let the tap water flow soaked my hands. It was cold but something strange, why does the water smell like a carcass?

"Astagfirullah" I immediately closed the faucet back, Why did the water turn red? and the smell is really stinging.

I glanced towards the toilet, from the sound I heard Fitri was done.

I looked back at the puddle in front of me which now looked more like a pool of blood. I have to clean this up before Fitri gets out. My friend this one is quite timid, I don't want to hear him yell hysterically or even be able to faint seeing this all.

I immediately drew water and then spilled it right on top of the puddle. Third spill finally the red color was gone but still left a very pungent smell.

Fitri stepped out I saw him cover his nose.

"Ra, did you open that faucet?" I nodded in agreement

"Why Fit?"

"Have been three days now the faucet can not be opened the same as ustadzah, he said like in the water shelter there is a carcass of animals so the water stinks, but I did not expect it would be this way" I was silent for a moment. Water reservoirs, carrion, tombs? lest....

"By!" I turned towards Fitri again I daydreamed.

"Aren't you willing to stand there? let's go home" I nodded then walked after Fitri. My tongue feels funny just saying yes feels heavy.

"It's still here sir?" This time Fitri who reprimanded Mr. Rahman, Mr. Rahman just turned his head and smiled.

"We go back first sir, Fitri Saranin do not often stay up later sick later" I looked at Fitri and Pak Rahman alternately, So Fitri also often met Mr Rahman here?

Fitri again stepped foot after Pak Rahman nodded. I stopped for a moment and turned back, Mr. Rahman was looking at us and again he smiled. In my mind, what exactly does Rahman do every night in that place?

I watched as much detail as possible, hopefully I'll get a clue. I smiled with satisfaction, and my guess was correct. All this time what I saw was not Mr. Rahman but other creatures similar to Mr. Rahman, it was obvious that Rahman, who was smiling at me, was sitting down and not touching the edge of the pool, explaining that he was not human.

"Finally arrived as well" Fitri opened the dormitory door and then put the bucket she was carrying in its place. We are now in a dorm room.

"Eh Ra, about this hour Rahman sir knows what's on the edge of the pool?"

" Ballet" I said perfunctorily, Fitri better not know if that was not Mr. Rahman.

"Dieh Rara! I'm serious, Hmmm... I had thought that it was not Mr. Rahman, what else yesterday when I nemenin Dela to the toilet, he was weird. Fortunately it is now the same as you, if the same Dela had run I was like yesterday" Fitri laughed considering his own story.

"Stttt! don't laugh hard!" Fitri immediately shut her mouth, she forgot it was midnight.

"Well, let's go to sleep tomorrow, we have to get up in the morning"

" you want to go to school tomorrow, Ra?" I nodded while wrapping myself in a blanket. Fitri looks doubtful.

"All will be well" I gave my best smile, fitri nodded and joined in smiling.

"Ra, have you locked the door yet?" I opened my eyes again to remember.

"I think it's fit, but I'd better check it for mastiin" I woke up with a blanket that was still wrapped around my body, walked towards the door making sure the door was locked.

It turned out to be true, I had indeed locked the door but the curtains on the window near the door were still open, I was about to close the glass perfectly, it was perfect, but my hand stopped when the figure of Mr. Rahman was standing right in front of me only blocked the glass window that was translucent.
