Ghost Waiter: Grojogan Sewu Jiwo

Saturday, 30 July 222.

Chapters 12.

Lately, the sound of gong and gamelan is often heard lively in the middle of the wilderness of Sukagirang village.

Sometimes local residents also feel someone is chanting a canticle that has not been heard before, but if stealing the hear feels heartbreaking to make the listener lose consciousness or can be possessed.

No doubt local residents who are patrolling often see a female figure in the middle of the forest wearing traditional clothes complete with scarves, dancing under the dim light of the midnight moon.

However, the people of Sukagirang village are no longer surprised by the incident, they are well aware that now they have entered the day of the annual ritual celebration of Sukagirang village.

So no wonder the interference of other natural creatures is increasingly felt real and scary. In addition, this year includes a special year for evil entities like them.

Because for this year they were surprised by additional celebrations simultaneously, namely the one-suro night welcome that fell on Saturday pahing on July 30, 2022.

The news is no less surprising again is that the sacred day coincides with the day of Anisa and the gang's departure to Sukagirang village.

***

Indhi told all the events that happened to him during the trip to his friends, he also expressed all concerns to them including with a sense of heaviness to continue the journey.

His friends also believe in Indhi's narration, but because of the kepalang nanggung they only meng-iyya with the final decision will continue the journey.

The commander Anisa concluded that Indhi was only exhausted to such an impact, with a heavy heart they resigned the departure until the next few hours let Indhi rest first.

Right at three o'clock in the afternoon indhi had woken up from his sleep, they also agreed to continue the journey no matter though the day had dimmed.

"Lo sure you want to drive?" anisa asked worried about Indhi before getting into the car.

Indhi nodded confidently. "Hey, I didn't do anything. Why are you so lebay?" the answer.

"Who knows you're still tired, right? Anyway okay then, I sit in front so that later if you are tired we can replace,"

Indhi smiled nodding, stepping into the car followed by Anisa who was sitting in the front seat beside her, as well as Riska and Sinta who were sitting in the back seat.

Black sedan car drove at a speed was splitting the city streets in the afternoon, the streets seemed deserted and monitored crowded smoothly not jammed.

An hour into their journey through silence without chatter, only the roar of the car engine was heard. Anisa who is worried about Indhi's condition is busy looking at the left right side of the road, does not want to disturb the focus of Indhi so choose to be silent to the situation.

Riska and Sinta who felt unwell suddenly before leaving, were seen sleeping in the back seat, the effect of the medicine they were taking.

The two look smooth with the position of hugging each other with a warm bandage of hoodie they wear.

On the other hand, the driver continued to see someone standing on the side of the road holding a poster that read 'Cancel'.

Not just once, even until several times Indhi saw the strange scenery with different people. Last time at the red light stop, he was approached directly by a boy about eight years old and mentioned the same word.

"Cancel, you better turn around!"

The sentence continues to appear in Indhi's mind to make the brain's working system mess up to make his head throbbing.

'What should be cancelled? Why turn around? What is this really?' ask Indhi in heart.

Carried to the buzz of thought, he was not aware that the road passed just circling without meeting the end.

Estimated travel time that spent two hours is now extinct, in fact he continues to circle around the border toll road with Sukagirang village road.

The car was shaken quite hard due to the tires of the car that entered the asphalt road perforated, they were suddenly awakened from their respective activities.

"Oh..," cried Riska and Sinta together, apparently their heads accidentally clashed with each other.

Indhi looked at the front rearview mirror. "I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally disturb your sleep" he said.

Riska smiled, then replied. "Hmm, next time be careful. Don't be rich anymore, sick tau!"

While Anisa who had been watching finally fell asleep, the drowsiness that spread was quite supportive with the atmosphere of the afternoon towards the quiet sandekala.

"Where is nyampe? Still far away?" ask Riska after waking up from her sleep and can not be put to sleep again.

"I don't know that either?!" indhi replied unsure.

Because Indhi's focus has been divided since then, then that's the only sentence that he can give to Riska.

"Geez, God, try to check google maps navigation let us know where,"

"Start." Indhi turn on the phone." The path we are traveling on is not detected here" he said.

"Yes I see google maps also, just for fear of lowbat battery yes I matain tuh mobile phone does not stay on the turn on,"

"Keep why can stray gini anyway?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know either!"

They both panicked, after learning that the car was taking them in the wrong direction, but what power the situation was very unlikely if they continued to panic.

"Let's go down first if there are people, keep asking the way to Sukagirang village."

Indhi nodded and refocused on driving, in the back seat Riska tried to pray over her fear and pleaded for protection from the Khalik.

Not dry lips Riska after saying, in front of the car was seen a grandfather across the road who was about to cross, without thinking long Indhi immediately pulled over the car to ask the road.

Then he went down and approached Grandpa. "Excuse me Kek, I'm sorry my kek wants nanya. If the road to Sukagirang village is really the way here?" indhi asked with a slight bow.

The grandfather smiled, then replied. "Without Neng, it should be at the back that Neng turned to the left instead of taking the right," replied the Grandfather.

indhi nodded then replied.

"Okay, Cake, then thank you! Excuse me for retreating, come on." Sinta said goodbye and then returned to the car.

"Where are you from?" asked Riska astonished, seeing Indhi pull over the car and look out and back into the car.

"Let's go! Especially?"

"Don't ngaco! There don't seem to be anyone here,"

"The time you do not see there is Ka.., " said Indhi cut when he saw the figure of Grandfather who he meant was no longer around.

The fine feathers around his nape began to stand realising that they were on an uninhabited road, the tense atmosphere he could feel after seeing the edges of the road filled with rows of towering mahogany trees.

It is true what Riska said, which may be in the middle of the shade of mahogany trees that lined up neatly like this there are living creatures who are active, while the house where they live is not visible around here.

Indhi shook his head to dismiss all the strange and scary events.

"That's fine, isn't it?" ask Riska back.

"Forget over! I'm on the wrong road!" indhi replied lying.

"Oh, yeah.."

***

When it arrived at the previous turn, it was seen that some people were crowding whether they were swarming to block the road. Forced Indhi must come down again asking to pull over a little so as not to block road access.

"What's up? How come on a crowd like this? Hello excuse me," asked Indhi who knows who after getting out of the car and being in front of the crowd of people.

"It's Neng, someone's dumping a corpse carelessly! Where the body has rotted again, serem. Moreover, the condition of his body is also concerning, his eyes are not one and his fingers are also like cut out. It is better that Neng does not have to look, afraid of being imagined," said someone explaining while covering his nose with his hands.

Due to high curiosity, he finally rushed into the crowd to see the condition of the corpse in question.

After successfully seeing the figure of the corpse, his steps back backwards. He could not see the scene in front, the corpse of an old grandfather with a terrible condition was indeed true. The leg muscles were squeezed like they were no longer strong to support his body after realizing that the figure was the same figure he had met before. The old man he asked the road.

He ran to the car and got stuck in the car. Anisa and Riska who were shocked immediately asked the condition of Indhi.

"Jeez, why is Gindil? Who dares to wicked you to make mewek gini?" Anisa who just woke up from her sleep immediately railed after Indhi returned to the car with a sedu sedan crying state.

Indhi continued to be stunned to remember the face of Grandpa. It's too impossible to call it a coincidence, what's going on?

"Let's relax! Breathe in, keep going slowly. After that you're suffering with us, what's really going on!" Riska tried to calm down and thrust a bottle of mineral water.

After sipping a bottle of mineral water, Indhi finally felt a little better and tried to explain.

"Lo remember I pulled over and got out of the car?" tanya Sinta paused. "That's me again asking the same way Grandpa-Grandpa who is on the side of the road, strangely after I see again even nothing, I am also confused actually why. And what makes the shock again is the discovery of Grandpa-Kakek's corpse in front there, it's the figure of Grandpa I met behind earlier, Ris!" continued.

Anisa seemed to close her mouth with widened eyes without saying any words. Riska looked forward for a moment before answering.

"It's better to pray a lot, maybe Grandpa just wanted to help us. Now change let Nisa drive ya, and you just rest, okay?" Riska did not want to add to the panic even though in her vision did see the figure of old Grandpa who was smiling towards the car they were riding in while occasionally waving his hands.

Riska did not understand what Grandpa meant, the smell of camphor immediately burst into the girl's sense of smell. Along with the disappearance of the figure of Grandpa, the smell of camphor was also lost.

Seriate.
