We picked up the plates that were strewn on the floor. Either the wind from which is able to destroy the dishes in our house to such an extent.
"Aaaarrrkkhh ..."
Mom's scream shocked me and Dad who was closing the door that was open from when. Before we gathered in the middle, the kitchen door was always closed and the key from the inside.
"What's up, Mom?" ask Father.
"Sir, look." I pointed down at the bench near Mom who was squatting. A seedy and long cloth dangled by the Father.
"Astaghfirullah." He threw the cloth back on the floor. I bent down and grabbed the cloth you threw away. I observe the shape and color that already looks grungy and seedy.
"Tali pocong, sir." I said with a flat face.
"Dump, Nduk. Throw away." Mother ordered.
"We love Mr. Sukma only, Ma'am, sir." my advice agreed by the Father. It's just Maghrib. After all, Mr. Sukma must be at Mr. Dayat's house for his wife's studies.
"Jas. You go first yes, ma'am." said to us who is actually heavy hearted if you have to go at night like this.
"Other times don't be so reckless, Nduk." said Mother who looked sewot as I took the pocong rope without fear. I just grinned without any guilt.

"What's that sound, Mom?" I rushed forward to find out what was going on out there. Not long ago I said to go to Mr. Sukma's house, outside there was a noise and crowded like many people gathered there. I'm curious trying to figure out what happened there.
"Mom, look." I opened the front door to show Mom something.
"There's a body, Mom. Tuh, look." He pointed to a tree. A male corpse sits leaning against a tree not far from Budhe Siti's cage. I looked closely at the corpse. Although with very minimal lighting, but I can still see his face even though it is not so clear.
"Minah." Atu patted my shoulder firmly making me grimace in pain.
"That's right." Atun had not yet resumed his words, I went closer to the Father to tell him something. I pulled you a little bit away from the crowd so you could hear clearly what I wanted to say to him.
"Related, Nduk?" I'm nodding.
"So I asked Atun, it was Atun."
He approached Sukma and whispered something and both of them turned towards me simultaneously.
Mr. Sukma gave the mandate to bring the body to the village puskesmas. Because it's a long way from the hospital, and no one has a car to take the body to the Hospital in town. So bringing the body to the health center is the best step, then the health center will continue to deliver the body to the Hospital for autopsy.

"Cock like Udin huh, sir?" my mother said to my father when we returned home.
"Hush, don't be like that, ma'am. The autopsy results have not been released. Besides, Mr. Kades said that Udin was working in the city. Wherever Udin might be here." denied Father. But I think it is very similar to Mas Udin Pak Lurah's son.
"For sure the man is very similar to the perpetrator who keeps pieces of ears and hands while eating" I'm sure.
"Are you sure, Nduk?" mommy made sure of my words again. I'm nodding.
"The first burn on the left temple and also his left hand is a picture of a coiled snake, ma'am. At that time Minah also saw from the left side, so did not see clearly.
