Longing Memories

Visiting and Searching

"Stop you there!" Shouting friend Mas Hanif shocked the three of us.

The man looked straight at us as he moved his mouth as if he were chanting a prayer or mantra to cast out the invisible.

"Why Gas?" Shouts a reply from Mas Hanif who was confused to see the behavior of his friend.

But there was no answer coming out of his mouth, only his eyes were still staring intently at the direction we were standing. The silent night atmosphere further adds to the gripping effect. Sometimes the sound of dogs coming from a distance. Though this is still not too late and the road to the direction of his friend Mas Hanif's house is still very crowded with all kinds of human activities there. But somehow just in this place alone suddenly the atmosphere became very scary.

"Alhamdulillah is gone. Come on now you guys go inside first." The sudden move from Mas Hanif's friend's mouth shocked the three of us.

We immediately entered his house in a hurry because we were still afraid due to the suddenly gripping atmosphere like that. Once inside the house, slowly things out there returned to normal as usual. It has begun to sound the noise of vehicles and the sound of footsteps of residents who walk across the front of the house.

From the window of the house, I saw things out there. The residential environment is quite beautiful with an average of 45 building types. No bigger than my house complex which is an average type 120 building. Still seen the interaction of the citizens who were talking outside the fence of their respective homes.

"Here please drink first." The voice of the host invited the three of us to drink the warm tea he had made.

"Thank you." Answer the three of us simultaneously.

"I'm sorry I snapped you in front. There are guests instead of being told to enter even in omelin tell silence on the spot, hahahaha."

"It's okay with gas. Why did that? Oh yes Evan, Sarah, this is Bagas." Mas Hanif introduced the name of his friend to me and Mas Evan.

"Gue Evan, it's my sister Sarah." My brother introduced himself and me. I smiled at Bagas as I reached out for an introductory sign.

I saw the atmosphere inside Bagas' house. Quite comfortable for the size of a bachelor man. The shape of the building in a really typical type 45 housing with a minimalist design that is dominated by white gray, further adding to the masculine impression. There are not many furniture found in the house so that it adds to the impression of spacious.

Without me knowing, it turns out that Bagas was watching myself who was observing the contents of his house.

"Ehem.." Mas Hanif's voice surprised me as well as Bagas.

"Have you watched each other?" Mas Evan said to tease me and Bagas.

"Who is it who?" I don't know the direction Mas Evan spoke.

"There was a neighbor's cat playing around, hahaha." Mas Hanif replied.

I was only confused by the behavior of the two of them, while Bagas only smiled hearing the taunts of Mas Hanif and Mas Evan.

"Gas, what's in front of you? How come you suddenly told the three of us to stop?" Tanya Mas Hanif is back.

"Ehm, I'm telling you a story but you guys don't be afraid." Answer Bagas while warning us before he tells us what he saw earlier.

"Yeah." Yeah." Answer the three of us in unison.

"So gini. Pas was out magrib Hanif call me to ngabarin if you want to come here, that's my position again lying in the room. Well, after the phone, suddenly I was horrified in my ears someone said 'don't interfere!'. Her voice is a girl but her tone is angry and nagging me, I was shocked and automatically find out who it is who said, but I see no one." Bagas told the beginning of his story.

"Well I want yet Maghrib Prayer. After praying, I continued to focus on myself in the room, try to open the same communication that struck me, but there was no answer."

"So long ago I heard there was a car sound, although not yet in front of the house here but I'm sure it's Hanif's car, eat it I went straight out of the house just waiting in the yard."

"It turns out it was you guys who came. But strangely enough, the first time I saw you guys and still in the car, you four. Two guys in front of two girls in the back."

With a breath, Bagas continued his story.

"Some seconds I blink my eyes, fitting I'm literate it's a girl next to Sarah's been no. I was shocked and sure that something must have gone wrong. And it turns out, just as you three got out of the car, that girl was suddenly on top of the car position like to hurt you guys from behind but her eyes looked at me with her gaze that looked really angry."

Bagas ended his story and looked back at us one by one. I just fell silent because I didn't know what to respond to the story, my logic told me not to believe it, but my heart said otherwise. I wanted to follow the logic I had, but again it was as if my heart was saying 'if you don't believe me, why are you tired of coming here for help?'

"How is Gas going now?" Mas Hanif's question broke the silence.

"There's a way to figure out first why it's like this, but I'm asking one of you two to do something about me." Bagas said trying to come up with a solution while pointing towards Mas Evan and Mas Hanif.

"What do I do?" Ask Mas Evan.

"Gue will do mediation."

Meanwhile at the residence of grandparents in the village.

"Babooookkkkkkkk!!!!" The voice of Grandma Kemala's cry called Si Mbok who was drying clothes in the backyard of the house.

In a hurry Si Mbok ran over to his female employer who looked confused as if looking for something.

"Yes, how can I help you?" Asked Si Mbok while lowering his head.

"Do you see my cloth parcel that I didn't put in this box?" Ask Grandma Kemala while pointing out the box in question, a medium-sized ancient wooden box.

"Sorry madam, I don't see. Sorry, but I just saw this box. Indeed, if I may know, madam put this box where?" Ask Si Mbok back.

"In my closet in a special room. That's why I asked you because you usually finish the room. Yes it's back to work, I want to find it again."

"Good mistress." Si Mbok returned to the backyard after being told by Grandma Kemala to resume his work.

"Where is it? Time someone takes. The key is me holding." Grandma spoke to herself.

"Duh, time is gone anyway? Ah shit!!!! If it is lost, it can be dangerous. I don't want to have to go back to that place. All because of that goddamn demon! Just watch out, I'll soon vanish you demon!" Grandma Kemala looked very angry. He ceaselessly cursed inside the room he had specially made for himself.

Without Grandma Kemala knowing, from the outside of the window of the special room there were two men who were watching all his behavior who were confused looking for something.

One of them with his sharp eyes, did not take off the slightest bit of his gaze from Grandma Kemala. Occasionally, he can be seen shaking his head to see the behavior of Grandma Kemala who is like a person of loyalty for looking for a package that is lost somewhere.

While the other man, prefers to pay attention to the surrounding conditions so that no one else caught the behavior of the two of them who were observing Grandma Kemala in the house.

"It's not unusual to be left constantly. Must be eliminated immediately." Say one of the men who looks like its leader.

"In that case, then what should we do, sir?"

"We follow what he wants first. Wait until he's off guard, we burn it and we burn it all away." Said the leader with a smile.
