SEBERANG VILLAGE
Chapter 18 - Village Conditions
Since the incident, villagers often talk about the disaster that will occur in the village. Dekka and Bertan also sometimes hear that they say things related to curses. Two days the condition of the village is still chaotic, many residents who sometimes still hold accountable from the family of Bu Darmi.
Even the funeral of Bu Darmi yesterday was not attended by any residents there, including Bertan and Dekka on orders from Kek Retno. He did not explain the reason, only that the order was absolute without but he gave it to them. Dekkkapun confused what actually exists, because as he remembered since the death of Bu Darmi there is no longer a large figure in any corner of the village. Only occasionally did he see Mundo who sometimes still monitored him. Dekka doesn't know why, but Bertan says he might want to keep them.
At night, even before eight o'clock at night the village will be deserted. Different from before that will be quiet after 10 p.m. Many residents are afraid to come out of their homes, even rumors about the ghost of Bu Darmi who haunts begin to spread. Dekka and Bertan certainly did not believe that, because they had not found the figure of Bu Darmi all this time.
But there is another figure who appeared after the death of Bu Darmi. Grandfathers were often present in front of them. But it will disappear after they realize it, besides that there are also several other figures who according to Kek Retno had never been there before. Bertan saw some, but he could not see the grandfathers that Dekka had said. That was all that still made him curious because of all the other figures he had seen before.
"Grandfather, I still wonder why the citizens are so afraid to go out at night. Even I think the rules of this village are strange since the first time I came here, but I'm reluctant to ask."
Do not want to feel curious longer Dekka asked, did not answer Kek Retno just sipping coffee relaxed for questions from Dekka. Bertan also wanted to know, because he also never explained about all the rules that do not make sense. Long they were silent, struck by silence and only the midday beast let out a noisier sound.
"Why aren't you here why there's no school?" Retno Cake asked. Oh yeah, Dekka just realized that. There is no school here, just outside the village entrance and even elementary school. Dekka turned his head towards Bertan, the young man looking calm on top of his confusion.
"Where's school?" ask Dekka.
"In the front, I finished high school when you forgot, '" replied Bertan.
"Before the village is safe, as the residents have talked about there is a great tragedy here. The black magic war had occurred, and if you notice there are no many buildings here. The four forbidden places that caused the village that was originally safe several times to return to disaster. That day, the village hall building for the event was built, at first there was no problem but eventually many were possessed."
"Schools were also built, but many workers died in the process. You know, the first day the school was operated even took its toll." The Retno Cake explained.
"For Darmi, he made a fatal mistake. He should not invite other creatures that make the inhabitants here angry, if you notice the creatures that are newly seen it is an invitation from those who have a home. Remember we're just hitchhiking here, that's what's causing them to panic. This is just a warning, you should not be too surprised if one day there is one of the residents who suddenly possessed or behaved strangely." The Retno Cake explained.
The next day, that happened. One of the residents suddenly broke into a trance, roaring to dig the grave ground and eat it. Dekka who saw it from a distance shuddered in horror, not wanting to get close to her possessed direction. In addition, there is another thing that makes Dekka afraid to approach, namely the figure of a red kuntilanak who has always been watching him since dusk.
Prayers, some men of large stature took pains to appease one woman smaller than him. The family of the woman did not dare to approach, after the nail of the woman who was not too long clawed her brother's face until it was wounded and bleeding.
"Mending in De, rather than watching it. Later you come into possession again, you will easily squirm," said Bertan patted his brother's shoulder. Dekka nodded, following Bertan's footsteps to enter the house. The boisterous atmosphere finally calmed down slowly, so Dekka was sure that all conditions were back as conducive as before.
Dekka peeked out of the window, and sure enough the citizens quickly disappeared from there. Dekka heaved a sigh of relief, at least the atmosphere returned to calm. However it only lasted for a short while, as the figure of the grandfather Dekka had previously seen was now in front of him. Waving a hand to call himself gave an approaching command.
Not wanting Dekka to care, she preferred to take a look. Bertan who was in front of him pegged making Dekka hold his breath. The figure of Bertan in front of him has a strange face, from the look of his eyes was different. In Dekka's heart, cursed, is now Bertan also possessed?
"Sister, you shouldn't have come to Mom's house. Brother is in danger" said Bertan in the tone of a small child. Dekka shuddered in horror, okay now it feels more creepy. He stood up from his seat, about to come out but Bertan's hand tightly blocked his wrist. Not letting him get out of there.
"Don't be afraid brother, I won't hurt brother. I'm just saying that, this brother and sister are in danger, you need to be careful."
After saying that, Bertan's body was immediately piled up and fortunately Dekka could quickly catch it as Dekka's body touched the floor. Patting soft cheek Bertan who did not give any response to him. He sighed, jeez this time it was giran Bertan who was a banana. Bertan's body was carried into the room, put him to bed and he sat himself in the bed next to him.
"What danger?"
