dark is not always dark

he's the one missing

On the way to aunty shinta shop we stopped for a moment at the baso shop. I saw the face of Viona white who began to reddish because of pesesesan contrary to me who did not like spicy. My mind drifted over whether Viona would be able to adapt to my ordinary life. Can Viona live a simple life?. The money given to Hadi seemed big to me but maybe small to Hadi and Viona. What Viona's lifestyle could fit my simple life. Everyone must be ready to live happily with treasures but rarely able to live simply.

We ate the baso and continued our journey. We arrived at the shop around Magrib. Ruko's door opened and we entered Ruko. Aunt Shinta turned on the lights, I tried to sharpen the sense and inner. There was an aura near the bathroom inside the shophouse but it was not strong and seemed to be away from me.

We looked around the dusty shophouse because it was not filled for a long time and no one took care.

"ka, there is.ada...something there .... near the mirror ..Kusitakut ": said Tania.

"where, I don't see what": I said.

I don't see or feel anything.

"let's see if there's something" said Tania

I approached the mirror and looked.

"what's wrong": I said.

"it's a time of dreadfulness": said Tania.

"is there nothing to my shadow": I said.

"nah tuh just now his ghost ngaku": said Tania while laughing.

"what a ghost I am" I said sewot.

Viona and Aunt Shinta laughed at me.

"auntie's second floor light switch where I'm going up": I said.

"the second floor of the lamp broke aunty buy first yes": said aunty shinta.

And

Sure enough Tania screamed in fear and said look at the figure of a child peeking. I casually said that I would not be fooled twice if I wanted to go up to the second floor eh Tania and Viona even wait outside. Aunt Shinta came in and I got off to pick up the lights and then went up to the second floor put up the lights.

The light on the second floor looked dirty dusty. I saw my prayer mat so I remembered not yet praying magrib. I checked the bathroom I opened the tap water is still flowing I took ablution and then prayed on the second floor. Beres pray I try to pray for instructions why this shophouse is difficult to rent and why every tenant is not at home.

And it's weird that I feel time backwards. This shop was an ordinary house. A small family occupies this house. A couple with two children seems like the biggest child has been schooled in first grade or second grade. The little one was a baby I saw the husband leaving for work and the wife cleaning the house. And the biggest kid plays by the side of the road. Suddenly there was a car speeding up and the boy even walked to the middle of the road. The boy was hit and died on the spot and the driver fled. I saw the old man in great stress over his son's death. Finally the wife committed suicide by hanging herself and her baby boy was thrown into an old unused well that is behind this shophouse. the husband could not find his son who could not find his toddler because he did not know his son was thrown by his wife into the old well. I saw when an innocent toddler who had been strangled by his own mother was then thrown in the mouth and then his mother covered the well with soil so that the stench did not come out.

It was only fitting that the figure of the little boy Tania looked at might be a genie who imitated the little boy. But there is no way the genie makes a dark aura in this shophouse. I'm trying to feel back and look like this shophouse shoplifter planted something in this shophouse. The shopkeeper planted a talisman for the keeper of this shophouse but until the first owner of this shophouse died the talisman had not been revoked and discarded. I feel the amulet is making this shophouse dark.

I'll be downstairs soon.. Take a piece of iron in the shophouse and get out of the shophouse and then dig the ground in the shophouse. I didn't listen to the tania and continued digging with the help of a piece of iron before long I found the amulet. I lift up while praying I open the wrapping cloth and in it as a small keris as big as an index finger and fragrant as oil like perfume from the middle east.

I'm wrapping that keris back.

I told him about the old well to Aunt Shinta. I told you to have people clean up that old well when it's dug up until the new base is back in the well. Aunt Shinta believes and tomorrow will have people clean the well. I'm not telling you about the baby's body so that it will open itself to the veil of the past.

I went back inside the shophouse and turned off the shophouse lights.

Then I called Deni asking Deni for help to give me the keris I found to Pa Jamil because he thought I better understand this whether the keris will be discarded or how. 

Then we went home to each one delivered by Shinta's aunt.

Two days later, Auntie Shinta called when the person she told to clean the well found the baby's skeleton. I said ask the locals if anyone has ever lost a baby. Sorenya aunt shinta called me back and said an old father once lost his baby and the skeleton was asked to be buried in the family cemetery.

The keris I found I left to Deni to give to Pa Jamil. Actually Deni wanted to have the kris but because according to Pa Jamil many negative effects then the Keris was stung by the sea along with some goods by pa Jamil.

And tania like a nightmare for me a day can be 15 times sms not bbm ask things unseen and that makes sprains sometimes ask Jajan or be treated. Because I'm upset I told him to ask for Viona's treat and even Viona BBm I said just love the prospective sister-in-law... Jeez has not yet bothered gini especially been a sister-in-law..
