Longing Memories
Someone Is Undercover
Bagas listened to Hanif's story while occasionally nodding his head.
“Gue finally got into the house, but I stopped first in the kitchen to grab a drink. Well, this is the epic part, Si Mbok suddenly came from the direction of the house dong and he called me, told me to go to the front of the house to gather with the others. Crazy isn't it? Whereas just Mbok it nyamperin me to the warehouse and and he who said to close the warehouse door! I was in shock, looking straight at the warehouse and the door was locked again. I until nanyain my favorite food for mastiin if the one in front of me Si Mbok original.”
Hanif finally finished the long story and Bagas gave a short statement that surprised Hanif.
“Which sat on the swing earlier, it's a delicate creature that resembles Si Mbok in the warehouse.”
“Hah? Seriously lo?”
“Iya, he well know want to protect you, so suddenly appeared and disguised as Si Mbok. Try if he came to make his original form, could faint lo.”
“Nprotect me from what?”
“From the female ghost who you heard her crying earlier. The ghost is full of grudges, I can frown on it. He came from outside for some reason, like there was a gap back that could make him freely enter this house. While the other female ghost, who I said would protect you, she just settled here. More precisely in this middle page. You could say, he's the one who keeps this house from negative disturbances that come from outside the house.”
“if he really is guarding this house, why the ghost whose hobby is crying can enter this area of the house?”
“And I said, there is a gap that makes him able to enter this house again. But I don't know what it is, I'll try to find out.”
“Wait-wait, lo say ‘login again’? means it used to make it in here and make a mess?”
“Enter.”
“Kok you know? I never knew.”
“Nih, I was just told the same ghost swing earlier. He said, the ghost used to spread terror in the house here and almost harmed your grandmother, until finally your grandfather came to a smart person and asked to install a magical fence in this house. Well one of his magical guards the ghost swings it.”
“Continue saying the incident was when?”
“Initial time grandpa lo married.”
“Planet I don't know. By the way his swing ghost is now where?”
“Tuh behind you, again see lo aja. Wh why? Want acquaintance?”
“Rese lo! Ogah me! Get him all the way from here!”
“Hahaha, sukurin loh entar malem in datengin him to lo room, keep him nemenin lo sleep.”
“Gue will sleep together tonight, so it's safe.” Hanif replied while raising his eyebrows.
“Najis lo kayak homo aja!”
“Hahahaha.”
**********************
Ah, I finally finished my job in Bandung. And now I feel the softness of my bed at home.
Already home, which?
I saw Andre's chat on my favorite phone. I forgot to tell him I got home safely.
Already, just arrived. This is again a fall first. Sorry about the new Ngabarin.
I put the phone back and started closing my eyes to rest it for a moment. However, I didn't think I was even sound asleep on my bed without cleaning my whole body first.
I was a little surprised and immediately checked my phone, see what time it is now because the atmosphere outside the window was seen before the eavesdropping or before the magrib adhan.
I also saw some incoming messages and phone calls on my phone that I could not reply or pick up. I chose to ignore it all and decided to get out of bed and head to the dinner table at home to check what food I could eat to fill my already-so-so-so stomach this hungry.
I opened the door of my room, and felt something strange about the atmosphere inside the house.
Where are the others? It is quiet and dark this is home.
I asked myself because I saw the state of the house like there was no occupant.
“Ma? Mama?” I yelled at trying to call my mom, however, there was no answer to my mom's call. I continued to head towards the dining room that was downstairs while turning on some lights and closing the windows that were upstairs, including in my room.
The house is slightly brighter because of the light coming from the upper floors. By walking slowly while holding the staircase, I went down the stairs of the house directly side by side with the dining room I headed.
In the little light that shone through this room, I saw someone in my kitchen doing something, what I'm guessing is mama's starting to cook for our family dinner later.
“In cariin it turns out mama is here anyway. How to cook dark gini anyway mah? Where does it look try?” I asked while turning on the lights of the kitchen and dining room where the switch is not far from the current stand.
Kortn . . .
The room instantly became bright, however, something was very strange. As soon as I looked in the kitchen, I could not see my mother coming back.
Loh, how is it missing? Mama where is this cooking time in staying? Danger ah!
I monologue again while circulating my eyes to all parts of the house to look for the whereabouts of the mother who suddenly disappeared. While walking slowly, move my small footsteps towards the kitchen to continue the cooking of the mother earlier.
When I was in front of the kitchen door, again I was surprised because it turned out that the conditions in the kitchen were clean without any ingredients and cooking utensils on the cooking table.
“Loh, how clean?” I asked myself with a little scream. Suddenly I felt a bad feeling in my heart. I remember coming home from work, the one who opened the door was my mom. But, the mama's tumbens saw my arrival in a flat manner and asked me nothing.
Usually, mama is the most enthusiastic person with all my activities because I am the only daughter that mama and papa have, so I became their favorite child both.
But earlier since my return home from duty out of town, my attitude looks very strange. As soon as she opened the entrance, I reflexively kissed her hand, smelled a slightly strange smell from her scent, and also her skin felt very cold as if she was holding an ice cube.
