Kliwon Fridays

"How did you sleep last night, son? Did you have a bad dream? ask me to enjoy a bowl of warm chicken porridge

"I slept pretty well, mom, but I feel weird mom" said Diana

"Any? weird how that means son" I looked at diana

"I can't remember what happened before I went to bed. Last I remember I drank water at 7pm at dinner table and when I woke up, I was in bed. I'm getting confused ma'am" said Diana, scratching her non-itchy head

I smiled at diana's words.

"Of course you don't remember diana. Lah wong you were last night possessed by your mother's spirit"

******

I'm terminal to part with diana. Don't forget diana gave me souvenirs for my son in the village.

"Mother be careful on the road. When you're home don't forget to call diana" said Diana hugged me tightly

"Yes son, God willing" I said on the bus footing

"Oh yes mom"

I looked at diana.

"If you play in this city and want to make a living here again. I'll call diana, then find a new contract for bu rasti"

"Yes diana, I'll call you" I smiled

"Mom, it's still a long time not to talk about it. The bus wants this road" said the bus driver

"Sorry sir, it's over" I said, looking for a seat

I sat in the third row by the window. Diana waved her hand at me. Not forgetting the lastri who suddenly appeared beside diana also waved her hand at me.

*****

"It's still 3 hours to the village. I'd better pray while sitting down"

The bus looks very quiet. There were only 10 people left, including the driver and the bus. The other seat sat empty. The cold began to blanket and the rain accompanied my journey. Though the Ac seat I had closed but could not hide the cold coming in from outside.

Suddenly the bus was walking slowly on an uphill road. The driver's brother also nagged because the bus was difficult to climb.

"This shit's a wrecked bus. Why is it so heavy, even though the passengers also live in a little" grumbled the bus driver

Instantly I opened while I was reciting hearing the driver's brother's words. When I want to look to the right suddenly.

Zepp

There's a creepy-faced kuntilanak right in front of my face. My reflexes covered my face with both hands while reading the verse of the chair.

When I opened my eyes the kuntilanak beside me was gone. Yes leave. Go to the chair across from me. I looked up, left-right. All the passengers on this dibis are delicate creatures. There are only a few human passengers.

"Look, this bus is heavy"

I also did not stop to recite. When passing through the old cemetery. There were some delicate creature passengers who got off and onto the bus.

"O Allah protect me on this journey. Aamiin's"

How can I not be afraid, said my great-grandfather if there are demons who ride in our vehicles can mostly bring calamity for us, such as a fatal accident last year. Right on this line too. The bus experiences an imbalance when driving. Of course it is not balanced because "they" sit only on the right.

"Bu sarti came home last night. Let me take between nggeh bu" said mang ujang put my big bag on the front of the bike

"Good to meet mang ujang here" I said while riding on the bike

The journey to my village is still a bit far, about 8 km more than a big road. Right-left of the road is a rubber forest with no street light illumination. Only rely on vehicle lights.

From far away I heard the sound of the dog's howl.

The first time before the road I said my regards.

"Assalamualaikum, o the sepulcher, the Muslims and the Muslims, the believers and the believers. Al-fatihah..."

That night I was greeted by "them". Some were lined up on the side of the road, sitting on trees and flying from one tree to another. I can only stand in my heart.

"Bu sarti, tonight is really scary. My hair is sitting up to stand up" said mang ujang sambi memegan nape his neck

"Of course, mang, I've seen the creepy scenery from earlier"

"Indeed tonight what a night. I also have goosebumps from earlier" I said half-creaming because mang ujang less able to hear my voice that refracts with the sound of a motorbike

"Friday night ma'am, but I don't know what Friday night is. But if from the signs this mah night friday kliwon yes. Hiiii spooky" said mang ujang half shudder

"It could be yes. It's only right since dibis was a lot of subtle creatures passing by" I said slowly

"What. ma'am. I don't hear my mother's words clearly" cried mang ujang

Suddenly the motorbike driven by mang ujang almost entered the edge of the rubber garden.

"Ehhh watch mang ujang"

Mang ujang swiftly stopped the motor and held the load of the motor with his right foot.

"It looks like "they" know we're talking about them mang. More now we just shut up. Just a little right turn we have arrived" I said while holding my chest which was shocked because the motor stopped suddenly

Mang ujang nodded and returned to the bike.

*****

I finally got home. My two children rushed out of the house to hear my voice.

"Yeee. mom's home. I miss my mom once. Come on in, mom" said my son, pulling my hand

"The fee has not been paid, it has been pulled by his mother's hand" said mang ujang

"Oh yes I forgot. Sorry about mang".

I also spent 5o thousand dollars.

"I don't bring any more ngojek money. Less than 20 thousand of this" said mang ujang while handing me 10 thousand money

"No need to mang, just think of it as a fortune"

I smiled happily and thanked him. When I walked into the house, I was interested in looking at the calendar.

"As expected, it's kliwon Friday night"
