Pocong Terror in Rejo Pakis Village

Mum's Back

I've been sick this week. Even the terror of the pocong every night is still there. It's just that, because I hate the figure so much, I don't hesitate to face him when he appears at home. Just like the nights before. Today the figure appeared again in front of Mother's room.

"Astaghfirullah azim thing." I cried as I was about to go out of the room to get some drinking water for Mom.

"Kowe mrene maneh doesn't confuse your grave." I said, pointing my finger at her jet-black face with hollow eyeballs.

Of course when the figure was just silent. Not even a hint from his place. I still passed into the kitchen without caring about that figure anymore. But when I came back, that figure was no more.

This time my eyes were always closed. Rarely open their eyes. When you open your eyes, your eyes are always empty. Not a single or two breaks came out of his lips. It hurts me to see my guardian angel like this. If you can, exchange it with me.

I exhaled a rough breath. I did the same thing repeatedly. At last a loud call was heard in the ear.

"Mom, Mother." I shook Mom's weak body. But Mom's hand just drooped weakly. But his breathing seemed faster.

"Sir, Father."

Suddenly, Mom was crying loudly. I was confused by Mother's sudden and unprovoked crying. I ran in a hurry. His clothes are still wet by sweat because from that moment he was still busy cleaning the buffalo cage because because there will be people who I ngin see - see the buffalo belonging to the Father. I was forced to sell all of my buffets because I wanted to accompany Mother who had not been healed.

"Leave it, sir. Just accompany. It seems he wants to let go of all the burdens of his mind." advises Mr. Kyai. We waited for Mom for a while hoping that Mom's feelings would be relieved and stop crying on their own. I saw the Father patiently and painstakingly accompanying Mother and whispering prayers softly.

Mother's crying has subsided. Only sobs remained that still sounded as unwilling.

"Mom." call me shrewd. Mom looked at me and smiled. Looks like Mom's better. Even Mother called me to come closer and in her arms. May this open a farewell hug. It doesn't feel like it's going to happen when all that happens.

I dare not ask much. Seeing Mother who was willing to respond to our existence I was very happy. Sometimes I see Mom smiling at Mr. Kyai's advice.

Mom's back to how she was. There was never a blank stare or anything. Although sometimes every night the figure appears, Mother looks more determined to ignore it. Not even infrequently Mother berated if the figure appeared with a creepy form suddenly.

The villagers are getting used to it too. Only routine studies are held voluntarily by residents for the deceased to be calm in nature and stop disturbing all residents. Yu Siti never returned to this village. Reportedly his in-laws asked him to stay there, so that the house in this village was demolished. Mr. Dayat also reported severe depression. But rumors say, that Mr. Dayat who deliberately subverted his son as a fall for his wealth. Although it looks simple outside, but apparently the price of Mr. Dayat so much. Even rumored, his wife was also killed as a collision as well.
