Chapter 35: The Hospital

Late in the afternoon, the funeral procession of Mbah Slamet went smoothly. People have returned to their homes, only a few are still settled to help Alingga clean up the house.

"Mas, just follow up the cement that was taken to the hospital! Earlier the people who accompanied reported his condition was stable. Let us take care of the event send prayers later tonight."saran a young man in his early 30s.

"Are you from the hospital?"ask Alingga.

"For the time being that's all we've received, it's better to go to the hospital to make sure you're in good health!"said another citizen.

Alingga went back inside the house to get her backpack. He entered the room where the book and antique objects belong to the late Mbah Slamet. He was still curious about the brownish-yellow-coated book that his owner had shown him, the book still attracted Alingga's attention even though it was only lying on the table.

Without much thought he picked up the book and kept it right before anyone else realized it.

"Bag.." Someone surprised Alingga from the direction of the room door. Alingga turned to look at the astonished young man whose age was not much different from his.

"There's a cop in front!" the young man said briefly.Alingga immediately walked out, his face revealed a slightly irritated expression.

In the courtyard of the house a service car was parked with both drivers standing upright near it. Alingga stepped over to the two police who were arguing with one of the residents.

"If you continue like this, you can be prosecuted for attempted tampering with evidence!" said one fat-bodied policeman.Alingga who heard little of their conversation immediately interrupted this endless debate.

"Sir, let me have the same discussion! I ask for help to manage consumption later that night on the set." whispered Alingga Sembari pulled the shoulder of someone whose anger was being turned gray. The man seemed to understand, he seemed to have been irritated by the two policemen.

Alingga looked at the two policemen, from head to toe Alingga watched him closely. Alingga approached one of the police and whispered something that made the look of the two faces completely changed.

"I know what Njenengan both did in the teak garden a year ago! I have witnesses, I have proof too!" said Alingga lirih but gave a deep impression for the two policemen. The two looked at each other in disbelief, but they were still careful not to ignite the axis that Alingga had soaked kerosene.

"We're here just doing our job! Please, Sampean, don't hinder us. I don't know what that means, but your actions are against the law!" said a high-statured policeman.

Again Alingga cornered the two policemen, "It is very sad that our country is controlled by assholes like you, who justify all means to realize his greed. I myself will break the circle of fellowship you hear the devil. Just wait until that day comes!" alingga said firmly. The two policemen immediately returned to his vehicle and left the courtyard of Slamet's home without extending the matter any longer.

Alingga stared at the hairpin nanar, there was bitterness drawn from the look of his sad face, again the memories of his past disturbed his memory.

...***...

A long hallway from the corridor of the hospital seemed deserted from visitors or from the families of patients who were being hospitalized there. The dim lights occasionally reveal illusions from the occupants who are waiting for their fear of humans.

The jasmine corridor is not much different, the profit nest looks messy from the corner of the mossy ceiling. Rain drops broke the silence from across the window, not to mention the sound of the wall clock ticking that made Yanto increasingly unable to close his eyes.

His condition was already stable, but the look on his face revealed otherwise. His body was lying limp on a hospital bed, next to which was the same patient being hospitalized.

It was dark, it was only natural that this hospital was very quiet. Moreover, the rules of this hospital curfew only apply until 21:00 pm.This is his first night in the hospital, pain in the abdominal area begins to become inflamed. The silent atmosphere does not make her calm even more makes was was was. What's more a clucking sound disguised by rain spots terrorised him since he was removed from the ICU room.

Mas Yanto did not expect much, he wanted to immediately escape from whatever was lurking. However, his condition did not allow him to do that. Not to mention his memory this afternoon, he witnessed for himself how the stranger finished off the Slamet altar before his eyes.

There is one more thing that makes mas Yanto restless, the patient next to him so calm did not make the slightest sound, even the sound of his breath did not sound like a dead person. Such negative thinking must be immediately dismissed, he must pass a few more nights in this room with the patient until his condition is completely recovered.

The clucking sound is getting louder, the heart of Yanto is pumping faster. The voice drew closer until he felt the presence of another figure from behind the blue curtain on the bed next to him. Mas Yanto tried to regulate his breathing, he was as positive as possible. But unfortunately everything became much more complicated, the figure was really real, he stood upright waiting for the right moment to finish off his prey.

The thing that was feared really became real, when the curtain opened the figure of a woman with red standing upright with a face that had no shape. The creature grinned triumphantly, he began to walk closer to the bed where Yanto was lying.

Mas Yanto's body trembled, never before had he felt this great fear. His stomach pain was becoming more and more so, not to mention when the long toenail began to explore his ankle. Hands full of ulcers left blackened marks from the area he had touched. Mas Yanto cried out in pain as the blackened area grew wider, it felt like it was burning with the blackened skin of the area beginning to peel off.

The finger was getting wider and wider, almost half of his legs suffered very serious burns. This creature plans to burn Yanto alive, he does not give the slightest mercy to humans in front of him. Mas Yanto could not hold it anymore, his consciousness began to disappear due to pain that exceeded the acceptable capacity of ordinary humans. he fainted right on his bed hoping the creature would give him a little chance to live.
