Cempaka Bride

Yulia's embrace

Jaja still chose to be in the middle between Supri and Idim. When passing through the boarding house he did not want to look at the left. His view is still forward.

Arriving at the saung, Jaja was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. He moved to the right side of the saung, about to throw away the hole in the gutter.

Jaja hurried to finish the hajat when he heard the voice of Idim who said he was going to go home for a while.

"I'm coming!" he shouted while chasing Idim who had passed behind him.

"Dim! Wait atuh!" shouted Jaja while continuing to walk faster.

"Saneh the Idim tea. Naha' fast pisan jalanna?" gumam Jaja's.

(Why is the road so fast?)

Soon enough, Jaja could finally match Idim's slowing pace. He turned his head towards Idim who was looking straight ahead.

"Dim, are you sick? That's a pale face?" ask Jaja. He's feeling confused. Though last time the street three face Idim mediocre.

Suddenly Jaja felt his hair standing up. He rubbed the back of his neck while looking around, but still did not find a ghostly figure.

Jaja only realized when he realized Idim who turned again towards the park. The big round-eyed man immediately climbed onto the swing, and began singing an English song, which Jaja had previously heard.

With a body that began to tremble Jaja also twisted his body and returned to walk towards the saung. The cold sweat that soaked his body made him feel his path had become extremely slow.

Jaja tried to call some people who were seen crowding near the saung, but his throat was blocked. The sound that came out of his lips was just a soft sound.

"Cunaon, Ja? Drenched in that?" ask Supri.

(Why, Ja? So wet as it is?)

Suddenly everyone looked at Jaja who was still walking slowly.

The eyes of the men were perfectly rounded, when they realized that there were other creatures following Jaja.

The creature casually climbed Jaja's back and wrestled there.

Seraut a creepy face looks peeking from Jaja's shoulders.

The men retreated one by one, then turned right and ran as fast as they could towards the main road. Then they split into each other's homes.

Jaja left alone can only resign when his body is limp and collapsed to the ground. Once more. She's fainted.

The next day, for the umpteenth time the complex was excited because of last night.

Bi Ai who came early in the morning immediately banged on the door of Dinar's room, to the surprise of the other residents.

"Cunaon, Bi?" ask Ayu while walking to the terrace.

"Jaja fainted deui," Bi Ai replied with a gasp of breath.

"Mang Jaja? Why?" ask the Dinar who just opened the door.

"Wiggle deui's ghost!" obviously Bi Ai with round eyes.

(Seeing ghosts again he said!)

"ghosts? Rhymes again?" ivan asked while scratching his hair.

"I don't know. Anyway mah chick ceunah. Serem pisan," Bi Ai explained.

The voices of some people from outside the house distract them.

"Assynolajet. Vatten, A'. I'm from the RT manager. Want to talk to the residents of the boarding house here," said an adult man with a thin mustache across his lips.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Mango, Sir. Please sign. Wait, yeah. I empty the carpet first," said Zein while pulling the carpet rolled in the corner of the room.

Ayu rushed to help Zein spread the carpet. Dinar knocked on the door of Hasni and Rama's room.

After the other residents came out and sat together on the carpet, the fathers finally began to convey their intentions and goals to come here.

"So that, Akang-akang. You just convey the request of the people. In order for this house to be possessed to repel ghosts that often disturb the peace of the residents," said the adult man who introduced himself as Mr. Umar.

The residents looked at each other. Before they looked at Rama and Hasni. As senior residents they hope the two men can come up with a solution.

"Previous apologies from all of us to the fathers here. Maybe the ghost mentioned comes from the mango tree that causes unrest here," Hasni said.

"Yet, I'm sorry, sir. Here we are just residents of the boarding house. The right to hold the rukiah is the mother of Revelation as the owner of the boarding house," continued Hasni.

"The request of the fathers will be conveyed to him as soon as possible. I hope he does the rukiah again. Because actually we have done the rukiah first, and maybe now it should be repeated again," said Rama who got a nod of approval from his friends.

That afternoon Zein ran towards the car, covering his head with a briefcase. Heavy rain that flushed for an hour ago, making it desperate to penetrate the rain, because it had already promised with friends kosan. They will go to the house of Revelation after Magrib.

As Zein flashed in front of the lobby, she saw Yulia standing alone with a cell phone in hand.

Zein opened the windshield and shouted to Yulia. The woman looked up and shouted back at Zein.

The man gave the code by hand to get Yulia into the car.

The woman took off the shoes she was wearing and ran to the car. When he reached the top of his thin clothes looked wet with rain water.

"Wear this," Zein said as he stretched out his suit.

Yulia grabbed the suit and wore it with trembling hands. She tidied her wet hair with fingers.

Zein slowly started running the car out of the parking lot. Try to focus on seeing the road in the midst of heavy rain. Every now and then he glanced at Yulia who seemed busy rubbing her hands.

Arriving in front of the boarding house, Zein rushed down wearing a jacket as head protection. In his heart he cursed himself, always forgetting to put the umbrella back into the car after being worn.

After Yulia came down, they walked side by side to Yulia's room.

"Come in first, Bang," the beautiful woman asked.

Zein thought for a moment before finally stepping inside the room, leaving the door open.

Yulia rushed to open the closet, picked up a change of clothes and ran into the bathroom. A few minutes later, he came out with his body still trembling.

Zein who could not bear to see the woman cold, immediately grabbed the blanket on the bed, and enveloped Yulia while leading her towards the bed.

The woman lay down while closing her eyes. Trying to warm himself up by rolling around in a blanket.

Zein was silent and confused as to what to do. His instincts said that he could help Yulia, by hugging her to keep her warm.

However, on the other hand he felt bad. They are just work friends, however.

Yulia pulled Zein's left hand and pressed her cold face against the back of the man's hand.

Zein could not resist and let the woman hold her hand.

Suddenly Yulia pulled Zein's hand tightly, so that the man lost his balance, and fell on Yulia's body which immediately hugged her tightly.
