Chapter 16: Andong Satan

The story comes from a 56-year-old man. Call it Mr. Surya. And the background of the mystical story that he himself experienced, occurred in the 1980s ago, in his hometown, a village in the city of klaten.

At that time, the young Mr. Surya was picking up his friend, Yatno, to invite him to watch a leather puppet in the open field near the district office. At that time, the news of the puppet show sounded so santer in the ears of residents, because it will present a famous mastermind, namely ki nato sabdo. That is what makes the surrounding residents even from outside the village so enthusiasm awaits him, not least Pak Surya and Yatno. By knowing that dalang ki nato sabdo will play the play, both are made so sumringah because of it. And this weekend night, the event will be held. Then after getting permission from Yatno's parents, the two of them began to walk casually towards the location.

If you look at the position of the two are now, it is still about 2 kilometers more so that they arrive at the location. Although it will take up to tens of minutes, instead of feeling burdened, Mr. Surya and Yatno actually feel the current sumringah, clearly visible from the look of their radiant faces. Both also continue to walk hand in hand with other residents who also want to watch the puppet show. So with a crowd, they all walked together towards the same location.

After walking far, after hundreds or even thousands of steps, finally Pak Surya and Yatno arrived at the destination location. Yes, both of them have now arrived at the open field near the district office where the puppet show was held.

The location where Pak Surya and Yatno are currently located looks so crowded. As far as the eye can see, every corner of the area there has been crowded by many people from various circles. Even the local lurah was seen sitting in the front seat close to the stage. Not to mention Mr. RT, Mr. RW and the rice manager, who Pak Surya and Yatno knew were also there. Many local important people are now seen present at the puppet show. Coupled with the number of traders, the excitement of the event feels more frenetic now. Then, about 30 minutes later, or about 8 pm, the puppet show began.

Dalang ki nato sabdo is currently performing a play entitled birth of parikesite

With enthusiasm, both Mr. Surya, Yatno and other residents, continue to enjoy the spectacle of the play that is being played by the puppeteer.

The play, entitled the birth of parikshit itself, tells about the birth of a granddaughter of pandawa as a descendant of the king hastina temple.who actually has a moral message about a leader who is fair, honest, and firm. from the nature of it, the country becomes a ripah lohjinawi or which means a prosperous and happy country of its people

And for hours, the puppeteer continued to play a play that could make the audience amazed. Despite just sitting on a makeshift pedestal, accompanied by a few mosquito bites, the audience continued to watch the puppet play faithfully.

Until not felt, now the time has shown at 1 pm. Although the puppeteer still continues to play the play, some people have gone home one by one. Then with his drowsiness that was at the end of his eyes, Yatno also invited Mr. Surya to go home, he said, "Sur, let's go home. I'm fucking up." Yatno with melas.

Mr. Surya himself actually does not want to go home at this time, he still wants to continue watching the puppet play until it runs out. Moreover, right now the story is flowing with excitement. But feeling bad with his best friend Yatno, Mr. Surya finally heeded Yatno's request. A little disappointed, Mr. Surya said, "Judah, let's go home."

Then the two began to step their feet from the front of the stage there. Step by step. Slowly but surely, the two began to leave the crowd. The sound of the puppet echo also faded slowly in their ears. And after a long walk, finally the echo of the voice of the mastermind completely disappeared from the hearing of Mr. Surya and Yatno.

The two now began to walk into a quiet and dark area. With the lack of street lighting there, Mr. Surya and Yatno continued down the road together without talking to each other.

Until when they wanted to walk on a bridge made of wood, there was a clattering sound followed by the pounding of feet like an animal. At first, the voice sounded faint, but gradually it began to sound louder in the ears.

Mr. Surya and Yatno who were there now became somewhat confused. Both were compact to stop walking, then sweep the view around. As they looked around, the two found no one there but themselves. Then with a feeling of wonder, Mr. Surya also said to Yatno by saying, "You just heard that voice right? But what, no one's passing by? Just be quiet."

In accordance with the statement of Mr. Surya and Yatno just now, around them there is no one. At the end of the wooden bridge, there was only Pak Surya and Yanto who were standing while looking around. But the clattering and stomping of the feet still rang out there, accompanying him with the silence of the night, which eventually made Mr. Surya and Yatno became paranoid at this time.

Then in a state of confusion and fear, just the wooden bridge they are incising at this time began to feel vibrating. Along with the tremors, the mysterious voice was getting louder in their ears. And the situation instantly became even more gripping, when the two saw that the path along the bridge was completely empty at this time, no one was passing through it. With fear, Mr. Surya and Yatno finally chose to turn around and hide behind the bushes.

As they hid, the mysterious voice finally faded away slowly. Then after the voice was completely gone, Yatno also said to Mr. Surya, "Sur, want to go home, what's behind watching the puppet again? Will you come home later if there is one? Scared me." Yatno explained what he was feeling. His words just now was a suggestion that they return to the puppet place, where when the puppet show will be finished, surely the neighbors will go home by the same road. With a group, it must feel much safer. More or less, that was what Yatno was thinking at the moment.

But given the distance of their homes that are a little longer until, finally creating its own idealism for Mr. Surya. Then loudly, Mr. Surya also chimed in Yatno's speech just now by saying, "So go ahead. Why go back to the wayang, far away." Say it firmly. Yatno can only obey. Then they stood up and started walking again.

Then again, right now, the two were at the end of the wooden bridge. They will try to pass through the path there once again. With fear and caution, the two began to step out and look around the dark and quiet. Step by step. Until finally, Mr. Surya and Yatno managed to pass the wooden bridge. The mysterious voice was no longer heard. Yeah, they think the situation is safe now. Then continue the way home while talking about the mystical things they have just experienced carefully.

Until finally, now both of them arrived at an alley, a path before entering the courtyard of the house Yatno is located. But had not had time to enter the courtyard of the house, still standing at the end of the road, how surprised they when they saw an andong pulled by a bule kebo while the road swirling in the courtyard of the house Yatno at this time. Andong was not walking alone, but there was someone who was riding it, someone who used traditional Javanese men's clothing.

The clattering sound and the pounding of your feet also felt the same as the mysterious voice that was heard by Mr. Surya and Yatno while on the bridge. But had not been able to digest what they saw at this time, the man who was riding andong also stopped his andong, then turned his head with a sharp eye toward Mr. Surya and Yatno.

Realizing that what they are experiencing right now is an awkward thing, both of them immediately ran away aimlessly. Then after running far enough, Pak Surya and Yatno decided to return to the open field where the puppet show was previously held. And when the puppet show was finished, Mr. Surya and Yatno went home together with other neighbors.

END.
