My In-laws

Chapter 3. Palasic

Mommy Najah can survive a normal few weeks, if she consumes the melodious and suck dar*h menstruation or dar*h nifas women give birth. Disgusted, but that is the life of a man.

"It's like a vampire or dracula, but I think I'm the local version of a vampire." Mumbled Lara contemplated the fate of her mother-in-law.

Lara's pregnancy has gone five months, there are no signs of interference from the in-laws even though she needs it. But on the other hand, the mother of Najah fought hard to refrain from disturbing his descendants, it was the hardest thing for him, because the fragrance of Lara's body containing her future grandchildren was as fragrant as piercing her sense of smell. In order to avoid his future grandchildren, he deliberately every night looking for prey in other villages.

"I can't bear to smell this sweet smell next to my room, I'd love to taste it right now. I have to get it, by any means!" Said Mother Najah who sometimes forgot that she was targeting her future grandchildren, her own flesh and blood.

...*****...

In the village where Lara's husband lives now no one is pregnant, Najah's mother had a bit of difficulty finding prey, so she was forced to travel to neighboring villages that are sometimes dangerous to visit, but for the sake of her survival, he was willing to crawl everywhere.

"Hooo, my legs hurt so much! Lara, try getting some massage oil, son!" mother Najah called Lara.

The day starts at dusk, the atmosphere is dark, especially the house of the mother of Najah, only illuminated by a bulb with a dim light, you can imagine like large villas in horror films.

Lara walked to the room of the mother of Najah in her hand carrying a bottle of massage oil, she rushed to her mother-in-law. Although sometimes hesitant and afraid to face the human half-stealth, but on the other hand he is his in-laws, the mother of her husband, and the future grandmother of the future baby.

"Mother, here I floss!" Lara offered herself.

"Let's go in, my legs are sore, stiff and painful!" Najah's mother's words whimpered.

Lara approached while kneeling the in-laws' knees, she knew for several weeks that her in-laws had not consumed her typical food, because in their village there were no tender prey that could be eaten as usual. The condition of the mother of Najah weakened, occasional hiss from his mouth, a sign of restraining the naps from tender prey in front of himself, the mother of Najah can only swallow her saliva.

"Already, already gone there, don't come here if I don't order!" Mommy Najah drives Lara away while pulling her legs from the massage of the son-in-law, she insists on getting rid of her naps to prey on Lara and her baby.

"P.p..excuse me mother!" Lara stammered, she immediately left the room of Mother Najah, her heart was filled between heartlessness and fear.

Our Lady of Najah groaned thirst and hunger, she cried and wept howling. Lara is alone in the room, Fadli is on duty outside the city, while Fadil's sister-in-law has been out since the afternoon with young men of her age. Lara could not imagine tonight alone with the half-stealthy in-law, who could at any time turn violent and prey on him.

"It looks like tonight I have to go! But with whom? No one can take me home to my parents!" Lara grimaced in fear.

Understandably twenty-five years ago there was still no mobile phone and gojek services, especially Lara lived in a village far from the city crowd. Finally Lara lied to herself, pretending that nothing had happened, she ventured while reciting the Quran as she could, in addition, he also stored things that feared me such as small yasin books, single onions, mirrors, needles, black threads, orange leaves, and so on, jeriangau and rope jijuk made of enau tree (said to be a means of supernatural fence), Lara put all the objects under her pillow. Although a bit silly even leads to shirk, but the habit has been done by the surrounding community to ward off evil creatures, especially kuyang, especially the kuyang is on one roof. Either by chance, these objects are able to make me helpless.

Late at night, time showed at half-ten, Lara tried to close her eyes. Duarrrr, just a quarter of an hour later Lara fell asleep, a huge explosion suddenly sounded as if it was coming out of the roof.

"It looks like Mother went looking for prey!" Lara Lirih.

The stench and fishy smell was smelled as the mother of Najah went, Lara's mind was not careless, her feelings were not calm even though the mother of Najah was not home, her sleepiness had gone, she began to watch, her night was filled with anxiety.

But until dawn there was no sign of Najah's mother coming home, even though Lara did not sleep all night, she was worried about the in-law, although she knew his greatness, but this time she worried about him.

Lara's nervousness continued, as the day was getting light and the in-laws had not yet returned, Fadil had just returned from a late afternoon, and was rushing off to school.

"Breakfast first, Dil?!" ask Lara.

"Thank you brother, I have breakfast!" answer Fadil sleepy.

"Wash your face first, Dil. You're still sleepy!" Lara told Fadil to wash his face because his sister-in-law's face looked dull and sleepy.

"I'm so sleepy, brother! Oh yes, which Mother? Brother Fadli out of town?" Ask Fadil over and over while yawning.

"Fadli hasn't come home from work, tomorrow is definitely back, while Mommy hasn't been home from last night, Dil!" Answer Lara.

"Well, why don't you go home, sister?" Fadil was surprised, his eyes wide almost loose.

"I didn't hear Mother at all! Instead, let's try checking out your room, yuk?!" Take Lara to the room of the mother of Najah.

Fadil followed Lara walking towards the room of Mother Najah, Lara opened the door, Fadil peeked into the room of the mother. Lonely, there was no life, only a pungent fishy smell was smelled from that damp and dark room.

"Mother, let's have breakfast!!" Lara said as she invited her in-laws to breakfast.

There's no word, Lara's closing the door again, Fadil's dumb. Because not usually the mother did not come home after a night of searching for prey, Fadil began to think no-no.

"Sister, it looks like I have to find you, but don't know where Nunda is?!" Fadil confusedly rushed away while pulling his bag.

"Dil, Dil, Dil.. Do you know where to look for Mommy?" ask Lara curiously.

"No idea, brother! But trying to ask a fellow stream Mother, might just know where you're going!" Answer Fadil.

"What's? Then you know there are kuyang besides mother there in this village too?!" lara asked in surprise and fear.

"Much, brother. All I know is there are four to five people, from the beginning to the end of the village. And there are girls too!" obviously Fadil made Lara even more surprised.

"Dil, don't you joke! What's that science for, Dil?!" Ask Lara in disbelief.

"Regular, brother! To lure om-om officials, well that's how their brains are so narrow, want to taste good with instant walk!" celtuk Fadil.

"Hey, but I wonder why you know such a thing?" ask Lara curiously.

"I know, Mother told me! Their eyes are different, brother!" fadil. "Already ah, I want to go to school first." Fadil hurried away.

"Wait, Dil! You've scared me and wondered, what do you mean by their different stares?!" Lara keeps her sister-in-law away.

"If she looks at women who are menstruating or pregnant, their gaze is very sharp, but when we turn back on her face, she looks down. Try to look at mother, surely mother lowered! I'm leaving first!" Fadil hurriedly went riding his black Honda Supra motorcycle.

Lara was agape with the explanation of Fadil who had been speeding with his motor, he got new knowledge about the creature jejadian like his mother-in-law. The feather stands up, when it turns out there is still a kuyang in this village besides his in-laws.

"Truly scary!" lara shuddered.

Lara came out of the house to sweep the yard, a woman came down from a bicycle approached her and parked her bicycle on a bamboo bench under a tree right in front of the yard of Bunda Najah's house.

"Sir, introduce! I'm Santi, Fadil's elementary school friend, can I sit here?!" Ask the woman a pleasant talk to Lara.

"Oh Fadil's friend?! Please sit down, deck!" Said Lara welcome the woman who claimed to be Fadil's friend.

The woman named Santi was sitting while looking at Lara from head to toe. Lara did not look at him directly, but she saw the woman looking at him from the tail of her eyes, the woman looked at him closely. Lara began to feel bad about being looked at in such detail.

"What do you want to drink, deck? Tea, Coffee or water?" Tawar Lara.

"Don't bother, brother! I just wanted to stop by here!" Santi smiled, without looking at Lara.

"Alright, I'm sweeping the yard, huh!?" Lara is back in action.

"Where's Najah's mother, brother?" Ask Santi.

"A.e.a..anu deck, Mother went to her friend's house!" answer Lara.

"When do you go home, brother? There's something I want to talk to him about!" Tukas Santi still did not look at Lara.

"No need, brother. I will talk to him myself! Then I say goodbye first, huh!? Tell Mommy Najah that I came here!" Santi ordered while saying goodbye to Lara.

The young woman went to pedal her bike, Lara only realized with Fadil's words about someone's eyes.

"Well, I just realized! Never mind that Santi is in a school with mother, Santi does not look at me when he looks at each other, but his eyes look sharp if not look at each other!" Lara said in her heart, her hair standing on end.

After the woman died, Lara's stomach felt nauseous as if stirred, her head dizzy, her eyes twitching, until Lara was unconscious.

...*****...

Dark atmosphere, only a dim light illuminated the room where Lara lay, she looked around, in the room saw some neighbors sitting with her, they were talking.

"You're conscious, son?" tanya Bi Inah helped Lara sit leaning back. "So you fainted in the yard while sweeping! We were so worried, from morning until now you just realized, your in-laws and husband are not there huh?" Ask him while looking around the room.

"Thank you Bi Inah for helping Lara!" Lara said weakly.

"You're still weak, let's eat this warm porridge, just made it for you!" Bi Inah thrust out a bowl filled with warm chicken porridge, Lara ate it a spoonful after a spoonful.

"Bi Inah, please mix the leaves of the yell into massage oil, massage Lara's stomach slowly so as not to disturb meyang!" Say to one of the neighbors.

Lara was surprised by the words of her neighbor, Bi Inah put the yell on the massage oil. The distinctive aroma of the roar smells fragrant, it is said that I am afraid of the aroma of this grass plant.

"Here I massage your stomach slowly, son!" Tawar Bi Inah's. "You're possessed by the palasik, son. You were convulsing, your eyes were glaring while clawing hair, fortunately there was Pak Haji Usman who drove me away!"

"Who is the man who possessed me, Bi Inah?" Lara was scared, she was worried about the baby she was carrying being bullied by meyang.

"Said Mr. Haji, I'm the palasik woman is young, is eyeing your baby, be careful that everywhere you have to carry a single red onion, put it in your shirt pocket, put it, and tie a black thread on your big toe, so that I who dare not enter through your nails!" Said Bi Inah advising while wrapped around the black thread on Lara's big toe.

"Thank you very much, Bi Inah. I don't know what to do if no aunt helps me." Lara said sadly mixed with fear.

"Have it done, son, finish your meal, let me be here to take care of you until your husband comes!" Bi Inah promised to accompany Lara.

"Sir Haji Usman is home, Bi? I didn't know he was here!" lara hatch.

"Have come home from earlier, picked up people in a hurry, he said there were affected palasik also in the village next door!" bi Inah explained.

Lara was inexhaustible, why the evil creatures roam prey on the victims, every village experienced the same thing simultaneously.

The other neighbors began to say goodbye to see Lara's condition began to improve, while Bi Inah remained at home to look after Lara.

"Lara is very grateful to all of you who have helped me!" Lara said to her neighbors.

Neighbors nodded as they returned to their homes, Lara impatiently waiting for the night to change by day, because she wanted to meet her husband.

"Tell me, he's beating people up, now it's his own daughter-in-law's turn at the man's palace!" Celutuk Bi Inah who is still a cousin of Bunda Najah, Lara's in-law.

"What do you mean, Bi Inah?" Lara's question didn't understand.

"No, just pissed off at your mother-in-law. He usually castigates people, not thinking at one time the same incident happened to his relatives or relatives. The proof is now that you've been exposed to the palasic!" Obviously Bi Inah.

Lara just understood with the intention of Bi Inah's talk, she confirmed the words of her cousin-in-law, karma really happened. Lara's body trembled in fear, she felt threatened and unsettled in the village.

"I'm so sleepy, Bi! Can I sleep?!" pinta Lara could not bear to sleep because of fatigue all day exposed to palasik (pain due to disturbed kuyang).

"It's okay, just sleep, son! Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you until your husband comes!". Bi Inah's words calmed Lara.

The gripping night was passed by Lara with Bi Inah, although in her mind there was a sense of worry thinking about her in-laws who never went home.

...*****...

Fadli parked his car in the yard, casually entering unsuspecting what had happened to his family.

"Finally you came too, Fadli!" Bi Inah.

"Bi Inah, what's going on?!" Fadli rushed over to Lara who was still lying weakly in the middle room.

"Your wife has Palasik!" Say Bi Inah briefly.

"What's? Who's Palasik bothering Lara, Bi?!" Fadli asked in surprise.

"People downstream, are still beginners but dare to act!" Bi Inah clearly told.

"Jeez, Sant...!!" Fadli stopped talking because it was immediately prevented Bi Inah.

"Once Fadli, your mother also often annoys people! You take care of your wife, or take her to her parents' house while she's pregnant! Here the danger is, inside the house there are predators, outside the house there are other predators running around!" Said Bi Inah worriedly, "Alright, I go home first, yes! If you want anything, just say it!" Bi Inah said goodbye as he stood up.

"Let's take me to the front, Bi!" Fadli said he was taking his aunt home.

Fadli wanted to be angry, but true what Bi Inah said, his mother also often disturbed the citizens, and now he received karma for his mother's actions. Bi Inah was upset with Mother Najah, but also worried because it had disappeared two days and two nights. Fadli was devastated, in addition to worrying about Lara's situation, Fadli was also confused by the existence of his mother who did not know where. He tried to forget his eternal moment, he approached his wife who was waiting for his arrival.

"Darling, are you okay?! What do you want to eat today? Surely you're still tired from yesterday?!" Fadli embraced his wife carefully and lovingly.

"I don't want anything as long as you're home, it's more than anything!" Reply Lara while burying her head on the chest of her husband's field, she felt relieved in the arms of her beloved husband.

"I'll order food, yeah! You have to eat to get your strength back, want Gado-Gado or Soto?" Fadli said while stroking Lara's fragrant and fragrant hair aroused her passion. But he was resistant, because he had to provide physical health for his wife and future baby.

Fadli went out looking for children who were willing to go to church for food shopping. And before long he returns to Lara while carrying Gado-Gado and Soto plus some skewers, the two having lunch together. Fadli forbade Lara from working, he asked her to rest for a few days.

"We moved into the room, yuk?! It's not good that Fadil suddenly came!" Take Fadli with Lara into the room.

Lara nods affectionately while draping her arms around Fadli's neck, occasionally Fadli fondles his wife on the way to the room.

"I want to stay on the road for a long time!" Lara teased.

"No need to walk, wherever and whenever there is a chance you can!" Reply to Fadli while pecking Lara's forehead and face.

Fadli closed the bedroom door with his body, walking towards the bed and lovingly laying Lara down. Lara held her arm, she pulled Fadli closer to her until her tiny body could not be seen.

"You're completely healed?!" Fadli doubted Lara's fiery health wanting to battle him.

"As long as you're with me, I'll be healed!" Lara's friendly whispers made Fadli unable to resist her naps wanting to immediately take her flying to the clouds.

Fadli unbuttoned Lara's clothes one by one and took off the thin clothes while throwing them, he also began to take off his clothes, Fadli brought his face closer to Lara's face, their breath met, they were breathing, Lara gasped and made Fadli more aggressive.

Both of them actually flew into the clouds, for a moment they forgot about that very complicated household event.
