"Let's sleep ambu!" invite Mbah Abun while confirming his sleeping position with a slanted position and his legs bent.

Ambu Yamah who saw her husband was lying down, she also lay down beside her husband.The atmosphere of the mountains began to feel cold making Ambu Yamah more bend his legs and close his back to Mbah abun's back. but the more late the night the sleepiness never comes. Maybe the atmosphere was different than usual, making Ambu Yamah unable to close his eyes in the slightest.

From the outside came the sound of crickets, ketydids and grasshoppers.from the distance came the sound of owls and crows, even occasionally heard the sound of the hiss of snakes that sounded from the top of the house. the sound of footsteps walking on the side. It made Abu Yaya even more uncomfortable.

"Why Ambu? Don't you want to be quiet like a restless person?" asked Mbah Abun who knew his wife from earlier continued to move, making his sleep disturbed so he asked like that.

"Can't sleep Abah! Ambu fear!" replied Ambu Yamah who whispered fear to disturb the sobani battery.

"Don't be afraid Ambu! nothing here, let's go to sleep again!"

"Don't be afraid How is Abah? tuh! listen to the sound outside which is very terrible." jolly Ambu Yamah who felt annoyed with her insensitive husband.

Hearing his wife's answer like that, Bah Abun finally fell silent. Because it was very difficult to calm people who were already very scared.he began to tighten his legs, accompanying the night that was getting cold. even the sound of Yang's teeth clinging from his wife's direction, Maybe he was not strong enough to withstand the cold coming from the cracks of the board hole through the marrow of Balung.

Beaac! keeakk!

The sound of a crow screaming so loud, then the flapping of its wings that approached the house of aki sobani, then alighted on the wuwung of the house.

Clerk! the kleterk! kletk! Clik!

The sound of a small stone falling on the tile, then it was heard clearly falling towards the comberan, making Ambu Yamah even more frightened.

From the top came the sound of a snake hiss, it sounded more and more very clear night, as in the tombokan to the ear of Abu Yayah. finally he got up from his bed, then scanned the area around the house that looked dim, because it was only illuminated by the light of a small lantern attached to the wall.

"Where is ambu?" Ask Mbah Abun who actually he can not sleep.

"Mom is afraid of Abah! Ambu fear!"

"Fear what?" mbah Abun asked like a person with no feelings.

"Have you heard a lot of strange noises outside, didn't you hear?"

"It's okay! it's outside, not inside."

"Wake aki sobani! let's accompany us."

"No dare to Ambu! if you have to wake up Sobani's battery, let's go to sleep again!" take Mbah Abun while bending his legs back, hiding the feet from the cold that is getting pierced into the bone.

Ambu yayah who is still scanning the surrounding area, if daylight will be clearly visible his face that turns blue with cold teeth clashing with each other, not strong to feel the mountain Eve. if you do not remember with his fear and when it was still daytime, he would prefer to go home, because living in a pigeon battery house makes him more tormented. his eyes that could not be closed because the board he slept on felt very cold, let alone the wind blowing continuously.

Dissolved into thoughts with what happened to him, suddenly from the bottom of the board sounded like someone was banging on the board, so that the board was moving made Ambu Yamah quickly embraced her husband's body.

"Yeah! Ambu fear Abaaaah!" abu Yayah said as she shook her husband's body.

"Hadeeeeeeeeh! what's up, Ambu! disturb people to sleep. Abah is sleepy!" mbah Abun replied, visibly annoyed by the behavior of his wife, who was like a child.

About 01:00 p.m.

Toloooooooooong! tolooooooooong! tolooooooong!

Sounding from far away, there was a voice like a woman shouting for help. Breaking the silence of the night atmosphere that felt lonely, making Bah's ears felt hot, his heart was pounding loudly, his heart was agitated. made him remember the child left at home.

"Did you hear that voice?" Mbah Abun asked as he looked at his wife.

"Listen Abah! ash's ears are normal."

"Who are these nights asking for help?" mbah Oban asked as he stared at the wall, wanting to pierce the look, Seeing who asked for help.

Toloooooooooong! tolooooooooong! tolooooooong! Toloooooooooong! tolooooooooong! tolooooooong!

the woman's voice was still clearly heard in both ears of the person who was paying attention to the voice.

"But, Abah! if heard, his voice resembles the voice of Ranti, our child.

"Ah, Where is it possible! our son will be in Ciandam, while the distance from Ciandam to Mount Coral, very far away.Maybe the voice that screams it, the voice of a woman, So it sounds similar." Bah Abun answered hiding his anxiety.

"Yes, it may be that way." replied Abu Yayah who was increasingly afraid, because he felt the same way.

"Yetoooooooooong! Abaaaah! ambuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....!" the screams of the woman's voice that sounded a bit shady.The sound that winds, sometimes sounded very loud as close, sometimes also Sounded very slow, like far away.Madu Yayah's heart was increasingly agitated. not far from what her husband felt, especially the longer the voice was heard, his voice was very alarming, like someone who really needed help.

Ambu yayah who continued to hear the sound of the scream, made her daydream fly home to guess what happened to her son.His husband felt the same way, too, he said, because his son's face continues to fill his eyelids. several times throw the face, but the image of Ranti's face is increasingly clear, making Mbah Abun prejudiced bad.

"Mom Why does Abah remember Ranti?" bah Abun said as he looked at his wife.

"Sama abah! Ambu also remembers Ranti, but how are we here?"

"Abah was afraid of anything happening with Ranti, especially her Father Mita hated her so much. because her prospective daughter-in-law preferred Ranti over her child. Abah was afraid he would do the same as he did."

"Quiet Abah! is there a Zuhri Dan Galih who looks after our son, Abah No lie, ask them to take care of our son?"

"Not Ambu! but though guarded, his name is one who will do evil, he will do everything in his power to achieve the goal of his evil."

Hearing the words from her husband made Ambu Jayah silent for a moment as if to digest with what was delivered by Mbah Abun. "Build aki sobani Abah! we ask for help with him.who knows he can provide a solution." said Abu Yayah after thinking for a long time.

"No need to be Ambu! It will be noon soon, we just wait until tomorrow, then we convey our concerns."

Finally, they were silent again while continuing to listen to strange sounds from outside the house.

The night was very long for Mbah Abun and Abu Yayah, as strange sounds continued to plague their ears, plus worries that greatly agitated him, he said, because keep in mind with his son who was left in the village.

But with full of struggle and patience. Finally from the west seen the Dawn has turned to close the wings of the night to be replaced with the daytime.sounding birds that began to chirp, from the bottom came the sound of a crowing rooster welcoming Batara surya who will soon shine on Buana, making the two men breathe a sigh of relief, while the host slowly opened his eyes, then approached Mbah Abun and Abu Yayah, but did not chat first, aki sobani went straight out of the kitchen to wash his face.
