MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)

EPISODE 14: THE INCIDENT

Mr. Herman was escorted by Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno to Laras grave. Just arrived at the gate of the cemetery only the two employees of Mr. Herman had shuddered in horror and they also gave Mr. Herman the opportunity to walk in front.

"The two of you are like little kids. All of us will die one day too. A person who is dead cannot think of haunting others. There are yes responsible for his actions during life," reprimanded Mr. Herman to the two people in front of him who look scared in the grave.

"Mboten, Sir. We're not afraid. We just don't feel good walking in front of you. Hear you, Ratno!" answer Mr. salihun.

"Oh so. Yes, you two walk in front. Let me be behind," replied Mr. Hermann trying to teach a lesson to his two men.

"Eeeeee ...," muttered Mr. Salihun as his legs suddenly trembled.

"Come on, go ahead!" ask Mr. Herman.

"I'm sorry, sir. My eyes are a bit myopic. Let Mr. Herman be in front. Mr. Herman is still young" replied Mr. Salihun.

"Okay, no problem. But, everywhere the dedemit likes to disturb people who are at the back," said Mr. Herman while preceding their lagkah down the path in the middle of the grave.

"Wait, Pa herman. Don't leave us!" shouted Mr. Salihun from behind followed by Mr. Ratno.

Mr. Herman was smiling himself acting silly behavior of the two employees of the rice field. Meanwhile Pa Salihun and Mr. Ratno grumbled in his heart. They both regretted being willing to take his master on a pilgrimage to the tomb of Laras if they knew the situation would be this scary.

After jamming for a few minutes in the middle of the grave area, they finally arrived near the tomb of Laras.

"Where is the tomb, Mr Salihun?" asked Mr. Herman when they were almost at the end of the path they were walking.

"There, Mr. herman! That, the ground looks wet!" replied Mr. Salihun while pointing towards the newly-filled tomb.

Mr. Salihun's position at that time was somewhat docked with Mr. Herman. Mr. Herman's talk really affected his psychological condition.

"Hun, don't point at the grave! Pamali!" mr. Ratno shouted suddenly for a moment after seeing his friend pointing at the grave of Laras.

"Why, Rat?" asked Mr. Salihun in shock to the ear of Mr. Ratno.

"You have never heard, Somali our neighbor was once visited medi after pointing at the grave," replied Mr. Ratno with a serious face.

"Yes God. Amit-again .. I just had a khilaf only, I hope I did not experience events like those experienced by Somali," replied Mr. Solihun with lips trembling with fear.

"Have not been afraid, Mr. Salihun. It's just a myth" replied Mr. Herman.

"Aamiiin ...," replied Mr. Herman.

"Come, accompany me to the Baras grave!" mr. Herman said to both employees.

"I-i-iya, sir," answered Mr. Salihun somewhat stammeringly.

It felt like a year for Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno at that time. Each inch of their steps getting closer to the grave felt very heavy. In order to show their loyalty to their employers, they also strengthen the heart that has actually felt dislodged since.

Finally, they arrived right at the tomb of Laras. Laras tomb at that time was still wet soil. Mr. Herman told Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno to stand on the other side. With trembling Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno also walked around the tomb of Laras.This time they both had faced with Mr. Herman. Mr. Herman calmly sat down near the tombstone of Laras and began to recite prayers for the late Laras. While Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno are still standing next to the barrel tomb. Let alone sending prayers, seeing the tomb of Laras they were already frightened. The two of them could only see his master praying solemnly in front of them.

"Pak Salihun and Mr Ratno would not send prayers to Laras? Our fellow human beings must pray!" reprimand Mr. Herman after he finished praying.

"I-iya, sir," said Mr. Salihun embarrassed by Mr. Herman's reprimand.

The old man hurriedly sat down like Mr. Herman to pray even though they actually wanted to leave the place immediately.

Blesss

Suddenly the ground that was stepped on by the two old men collapsed.

"Please!" pekik Pak Salihun's.

"What's wrong?" shouted Mr. Herman while holding the hands of Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno so as not to fall deeper into the tomb of Laras.

"Don't Laraaaas! Don't pull my leg!" pekik Pak salihun was frightened while crying.

"For, Laraaas!!" peeking Mr. Ratno was also in fear.

Mr. Herman who was initially panicked by the incident that befell his two men also became twisted because of the reaction of the two of them who seemed excessive.

"Salihun and Mr. Ratno need not be strange. You guys are just mired half a meter already scared like this. Come on, I'll help you get on!" shouted Mr. Herman while holding back his laughter.

Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno still closed their eyes when Mr. Herman laughed at their actions. When his master tried to pull his hand, then they both dared to open his eyes again.and sure enough, Mr. Herman was laughing chuckling and their feet only mired half a meter.

"Rubbed so much in the tomb smells ordinary, Fathers. Maybe yesterday just hoarding the soil is less pressed so that the density of the soil is less. It's nothing, really. Laras can't possibly haunt you, haven't you two helped take care of Laras' body. Aye. The barrel?" said Mr. Herman.

"Ih, Mr. Herman is even chatting with his tombstone Mbak Laras," said Mr. Salihun as he climbed to the top.

"Let's not be too tense. Come on, hunt the cucumber again your footprints with the ground!" said Mr. Herman.

"Yes, Sir. Thank you for your help" answered Mr. Salihun.

"I should be grateful that you two have brought me here" replied Mr. Herman.

Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno also covered his footprints with the soil around the tomb. After that they prayed for a moment and immediately walked towards Mr. Herman again.

"Come, go home, sir!" said Mr. Salihun slowly.

"Aren't you going to be here, sir?" god Mr. Herman.

"Thank you, sir, I don't want to be paid a million, sir" said Mr. Salihun.

"Yes, already. Go, go!" said Mr. Herman while smiling.

This time Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno swiftly walked in front of Mr. Herman. Mr. Herman was smiling himself to see the behavior of the two employees.

"Sir, please go ahead! I was left with nothing!" shouted Mr. Herman.

"No, Sir. It's good to go together" they replied without looking back.

Mr. Salihun and Mr. Ratno continued to walk until they reached the tomb gate. When he arrived at the door of the tomb, then Mr. Salihun looked back.

"Sir, want to go straight to Mr. RT's house now or nan-?" ask Mr. Salihun.

"race ... Rat ...," said Mr. Salihun.

"Why, Hun? asked Mr. Ratno who was confused to see the behavior of his friend who looked panicked.

Not at length, Mr. Salihun turned his friend's body facing backwards and this time Mr. Ratno followed in a panic.

"Well, where's Mr. Herman, Rat?" panicked shouting.

"That's on, Rat, I'm confused too. We should now ka-ka-kabuuuuuuur ..," cried Mr. Salihun and he immediately ran away from the place followed by Mr. Ratno.
