MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)

PART 15: LANG

There was no one inside Yu Painem's house. I was prepared to check into the house to see who I saw just now, but I paused because I just realized maybe I was wrong because my physical condition was still less fit after vomiting earlier.

I also walked quickly to Yu Darmi's house which was only separated by a wall with Yu Painem's house.

"Mas, how is this?" my many.

"What's the matter, brother? The question is not clear" my husband protested.

"I mean, how about Yu Darmi tonight?" ask me to clarify the previous question.

"Yes stay dong, Dik. Cook to stop?" Mas Diki was a bit pouting.

"It's not stopped, Mas. Is it still carried out as usual, magrib or what? You also do not know, when the body of Yu Painem will come and be buried? " my answer is subtle so that Mas Diki is not angry.

"Oh, the gini dah Dik. tahlilannya moved at four in the afternoon, fearing that if the nights did not come, maybe the residents here are still traumatized by this incident," replied Mas Diki.

"Yes, Mas. I think it's better" I replied.

"Okay, now we better get ready. Are you in school? Is Diki going to work, or to the police station? I'm going to the market, Siti how?" my spoken.

"Mom, can I go with Ms Sin to the market?" ask Siti.

"May, but stop by my house first, huh? My wallet was left at home because" I replied.

"Yes already, Ma'am. Let's just leave soon," said Siti.

"Nur, later if your teacher asks why you are late, you say yes to the incident!" I said to my son.

"Yes, Mom." Reply Nur.

"Mas Diki wants to go to work, what would you like to take care of Yu Painem?" ask my husband.

"I think I'd like to take care of Yu Painem. Kasian, Mother. His family is no more. Later the interlude merged with Yu Darmi only huh?" said Mas Diki.

"Yes, I'd better" I replied

After closing the door, we all went to our respective destinations.

"Mbak Sin, about Bu Darmi's neighbor when did he die, Ma'am?" Siti.

"Hm, don't know Sit" I replied.

"If viewed from the condition of his body, it seems to have been for days, Mbak" said Siti back.

"Trus, who last night when we were chatting together next to the house, I'm telling you that you saw Yu Painem in the corner of the wall, who if not Yu Painem?" my many.

"Maybe it's not him, Ma'am" said Siti.

"You mean?" my many.

"Maybe the ghost ...," whispered Siti slowly.

"Duh, don't try to scare me, dong" I said.

"I don't want to scare you, Ma'am. The body has exploded so of course it has been more than two days, Ma'am. The body was not buried for days, surely the spirit is not calm, right?" said Siti increasingly make my hair goosebumps.

"Okay, you're Siti talking like that even make me horrified, let's go picky vegetables for later in the afternoon!" my spoken.

"Ah, Madam Sin does not believe sich as me," replied Siti.

"Sir, don't you shop for shrouds, and other corpse needs?" ask Siti.

"Wait a minute, Sit. Is the corpse is like it still has to be wrapped in a shroud, and so on?" my many.

"Who knows, Ma'am. Oh yeah, later who bathes and caffeinates his body means his family, huh?" ask Siti.

"Which family, Sit? Lha wong she lives a kara," I replied.

"Astagfirullah, it's not Sit. Not Me ..," I replied.

"Well, who has a close relationship with him is not Madam Sin, other people do not know well? And the dead woman, means the one who takes care of the body is also a female dong?" terang Siti's.

"No, I don't want to" I shouted.

"Must do it, Ma'am. Ntar Mbak Sin who mashed cotton and sow powder on his face" seduced Siti.

"Ampuuuun ... Let the study leaders do that, I'm horrified, Sit" I replied.

Siti chuckles small.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon Siti and I arrived at Yu Darmi's house. I watched from the front end of the alley to Yu Darmi's house, none of the houses were open, except Kyai Sholeh's house. The astonishment of the passageway no doubt aroused fear within the chest, especially when going through Yu Painem's house.

"Sit, we're going to the house of Ms. Titi and Ms. Mimin, yuk?" take me.

"Why, Mommy?" The back asked.

"So what, if you only cook together," I replied.

"Corn, bye!" siti answered rather males. Somehow every time he heard the name of Bu Mimin, the men of Yu Darmi became sewot.

We took a motorcycle to Lady Titi's house. Like everyone else, the house is closed.

"Assalamualaikum .." I said hello.

"Maroshaaikumsalam ..." Ms. Titi replied.

After being invited to sit down, I also submitted a request for help to help us cook at Yu Darmi's house. However, Ms. Titi refused on the grounds that her body was not fit. We came home a little disappointed, I'm sure Ms. Titi is doing well. Maybe he was just afraid of the death of Yu Painem who was next to Yu Darmi's house.

We continued our journey to Bu Mimin's house. Siti didn't get off the bike, I got into Miss Mimin's house.

"Samma, can you help cook today, ma'am? You see, he was replaced at four o'clock in the afternoon, afraid of not kneeling," I said.

"Duh, I'm sorry Brother Sin. Here you go, I again help my husband, work on customer orders again buy a lot of nich. Sorry, Ma'am?" replied Ms. Mimin.

I went home again disappointed. Finally we went back to Yu Darmi's house and did it all together.

"Bismillah already, Ma'am. Just pray, anyway who else would want to do this if not us?" said Siti.

I heard the words of former assistant Yu Darmi. We started to do the kitchen work with extra energy.

"Yu Darmi ... Yu Painem ... Don't bother, huh? Plis, don't .. I'm afraid ..."

After the dhuhur prayer, we are half way. Suddenly ...

[Tok tock]

I opened the side door, it turned out that the ones who came were Bu Titi and Bu Mimin. I welcome them with great pleasure.

"Well, thank you for coming to help, Kirain Mbak Titi and Mbak Mimin can not. Come on in, Ms. Titi ... Mimin!" I said to both of them.

The two neighbors of Yu Darmi just gawked, maybe they felt bad because they had rejected my request.

That afternoon, the two neighbors of Yu Darmi did not talk much as usual. Maybe because they're tired. Ms. Titi I gave the job of keeping vegetables, while Ms. Mimin cooked rice.

"Sir, don't stir the rice, it won't turn out, instead" I told Bu Titi who kept stirring the rice in the pot. Ms. Titi did not reply but then she just stood quietly in front of the pot.

I whispered to Siti while turning my back on them.

"Sit, don't you feel weird about the two of them?" my spoken.

"Yes, Mother. Bu Mimin often daydreams. If I don't move, don't walk." Siti answered.

As we were whispering, suddenly our backs touched. The two of us looked at each other in wonder.
