Mafia Graves

The roar of the old motor splits the silence of the night. Accompanied by crickets that kept swirling along the way, Sanum complained.

"Wong arep burying mayit wae kok koyok golek contract. Opo grave sak iki dadi hotel star sewune wong dead?"

(People want to bury bodies like looking for a contract. Is the graveyard now a hotel of the stars of the deceased?)

"Yo ngono I'm gonna sing jenenge mafia graveyard, Num. Meres wong ketiban need koyok per sek sombalan teles wae—twirik kanti orus tour blisters."

(Yes, that's what the graveyard mafia is called, Num. Blackmailing people in need is like squeezing wet clothes—twisted to atus and scuff.)

Rudy recounted that his family had also sold a car to get a plot of cemetery land. However, in the end Rudy's family agreed to stop the payment of the extension of the cemetery rent.

Because, it could be the property of ludes only for suits that will melt in the ground when obeyed. His family needed more money to eat than bones to stay in the tomb. This world is crazy. Everywhere the grave is bought. No exception to the service of handling the body.

Those who are engaged in the field of adultery are called mafioso graves. However, not all work related to the corpse could be attributed to the graveyard mafia. Legal professions such as forensic doctors and funeral management groups that are in accordance with the norm or the like cannot be said mafia graves.

The famous mafia graveyard in Karangbendo village and its surroundings is Naimaut. The organization has been around for twenty years. However, it has only been two years recently that Naimaut has experienced rapid development.

His power continued to expand year after year. Nearly half of the city and Blitar counties are controlled by Naimaut. His existence became a real scourge for the community.

Hearing Rudy's explanation, Sanubari who was in the middle of the puppet was curious and then asked, "Mafia grave iku opo?"

(What's the mafia graveyard?)

"Hm. Opo, yo? I Yo ora understand. Muk tau krungu Soko news Nang TV lak wong adol graveyard iku arranged mafia grave."

(Hm. What, huh? I don't know either. Just heard from the news on television that the seller of the grave is called the mafia cemetery.)

From that explanation, Sanubari concluded that the mafia are bad people whose work is to harm society. His little brain could not yet understand the true meaning of the mafia.

"Koyok ngono wayahe's work was eradicated wae. Lak ngene iki, sing sugih added sugih, sing melarat added dying."

(Such work should be eradicated only. Well, then the rich get richer, the destitute get dying.)

"Angel, Num. Wong-wong cunning ngono kae pinter obah Ben free of law."

(Difficult, Num. Sly people like them are good at moving to be law-free.)

Sanubari who was between the conversations of the two adults was confused. His reasoning ability is still difficult to reach the topics discussed. He was more silent on the way. There were actually a lot of questions in his brain. However, he did not get the chance to interrupt at all.

Meter by meter passed. They arrived at Sanum's house. Damar has been lit, Mats held, a few people read tahlil. They sat facing west in front of the cots where the bodies lay.

Idris who realized the presence of people who had just entered the room immediately came out of the line of readers. He approached Sanum who was standing not far from the entrance.

"Num, sak rehne Iki whiskey wengi, kumae diinepne wae. Samare lak hak-hake mayit ora rangkep."

(Num, since it's already night, the body was just put in, yes. Fear that may rights are not fulfilled.)

(Someone wants to help bury me I'm very grateful. What matters is that my father was buried properly. Tomorrow morning is okay too)

"Kerus graveyard piye? Wis dikiruk ta?"

(What about the grave? Has it been dug?)

Sanum just shook his head in response to that. Rudy helps explain that they failed to acquire the burial ground.

In his martyrdom the holy verses in the midst of mourning hearts, the sound of motorcade was heard approaching. The noise stopped not far from Sanum's hut. Not long after, several men barged into the house.

Rudy was pushed to hit Sanum. The domino effect in the room. Sanubari fell to hit the chair as a result of his mother's nudge.

Four armed foreign men continued to step towards the group of people who were cross-legged. They were screaming in anger.

"Dissolve!"

"Sopo sing hugging a nang kene get-together?"

(Who told you to gather here?)

The men rubbed their shoulders one by one violently. Sanubari hugged her mother in fear. Other than the people who barged in, there were also some who stood guard outside.

The reading of tahlil was also forced to stop. But none of them came out yet. Until finally the sound of the gun blared. Everyone is surprised.

No exception to the neighboring hens who are warming their prospective children. The chicks in the incubated eggs were also aghast to make the shell that coats the crack. They hatched. The sound of snarling and and the blur adds to the noise of the night.

There were no casualties in that place. No one was injured even though fresh blood appeared in that place. Because, the shooting victims are just dead bodies that are no longer alive.

"Mr!" shouts Sanum who does not willingly raga his father tortured.

For Sanum, it was tantamount to torturing his father's spirit. However, the corpse must still be treated properly even though it can no longer scream in real pain.

Rudy held onto Sanum who was about to run over. He did not want the woman who was struggling to do so. They could've hurt Sanum if he was reckless. Poor Sanubari if his mother is killed.

The gun is still pointed in the same direction. Without moving it, the shooter said, "Ndang mulih Kabeh lak ora gelem did not shoot!"

(Hurry home if I don't want to shoot!)

One bullet went back through the body behind a stretch of dark chocolate jarit. All the readers left that place. Except Rudy and Idris.

One of the troublemakers carrying the machete pointed his sharp weapon at Sanum. He violently threatened, "Woi, gentlemen! Hyapo jek nak kono? A golem not bacoki?"

(Woi, Gentlemen! Why is it still there? Shredded me?)
