The new clock shows at nine o'clock in the evening, but the atmosphere is gripping. The rain was beginning to subside, but lightning struck violently, accompanied by the sound of lightning.
Gluey!
The very loud sound surprised Anto who was waiting for a shop in front of his house, especially just before the sound of lightning, a blinding white light poured down an electric pole not far beside his warehouse.
While cursing the young man hid behind the door. Long enough he curled up, until it felt the raging nature began to subside, the outside atmosphere of the stall, the rain just spatter. Just now he was back sitting on the chair where he was languishing before the lightning strike, suddenly the electric light went out.
Oh, it's perfect! Groping immediately looking for matches, after meeting a candle.
Seeing the conditions that are not supportive, Anto began to think to close the stall faster than usual.
Ting! Ting! Ting! The typical sound of a meatball is heard, tilted Anto's head out. Wonderful? Didn't see a meatball passing by.
Somewhat shudder he, then quickly decided to close the stall, but only for a moment did he fix the merchandise, one voice called out. "Buy Bang."
Anto saw the origin of the sound, a man with a soaked body was in front of the stall.
"Buy what Mas?" ask Anto.
"Wax" replied the man.
Anto deftly served the buyer, and continued to close the stall as the man who bought the candle left.
There was no strange thought in the young man's mind that night, only one he regretted, had to close the stall faster than usual because the electricity was off.
The next morning the young man was like a lecture, because he was still studying at one of the State Universities in his city.
After returning home from college, after changing clothes and eating lunch provided by his mother, then he heard a strange incident from the mouth of the mother.
"Tok overnight, don't you know?"
"Know what Mom?" ask the young man.
"That's you, Agus saw a ghost."
Dahi Anto who again chewed the rice shriveled. "Host Ma'am? What ghost?"
"The Meatball Ghost said," his mother replied again.
Anto was more confused, what was the voice he heard last night?
"How is it called the ghost of ma'am?" ask Anto again.
His middle-aged mother shrugged her shoulders, "Either, all I heard was that Agus saw the meatball wagon, but there was no seller, that's how it was, about, if you're curious, try asking Agus Tok," concluded his mother.
The young man nodded, his brain was trying to think, but his mind looked chaotic. All right, let him try to hear it straight from Agus' mouth.
So finished eating lunch, Anto rushed to the house of Agus on foot, because the neighbor's house only passed two houses from his house.
The age of the younger Agus, but already married, the same as his family, the parents of Agus opened a stall in front of the house, which is now managed by the Agus to support his wife's children.
Arriving at his friend's house, it appears that Agus is busy making an aquarium. Salute Anto with the young man, because his hands are very dexterous, good at making all kinds of things that sell.
"Busy Gus?" Sapa Anto with a fluffy smile.
"Ah just be, be busy," replied Agus. "Tumben maen Tok, usually already busy in front of the laptop," continued Agus teasing Anto while grinning.
"Yes Gus, I just heard an interesting story from my mother, " said Anto and sat on a long chair made of bamboo without being offered.
Anto with a contrived style turned to the left and right, "Host Question Meatball Gus." he whispered later.
Agus looked surprised, his hands reflexively took the coffee glass located on the table and gulped it down, the look on his face insinuating a fear that could not be covered.
"Ah you Tok, why are you talking about that?"
Anto did know Agus was a coward, but his friend's expression would not be like that.
The young man then smiled, "It's not so Gus, because I'm curious, try to tell me about the ghost." he persuaded.
Long enough, Agus was silent, he seemed to be considering to tell or not experience that felt mystical. But finally his mouth said, "You know what rained Tok last night?"
Anto nodded, "True, the rain is quite heavy, even lightning and lightning don't stop."
"Well the end of it happened Tok, when the rain began to subside and lightning lightning was also inaudible, fitting it was dead lights." said Agus slowly.
"Yes, Gus, how about this?" Urge Anto to be curious.
Agus smokes his cigarette, "As I go back and take the candle, I hear the sound of the meatballs ting ting ting ting ting, and when I go back to the shop with the candle, you know what I see?"
Anto with a stupid attitude just shook his head.
"I saw the meatball wagon right across the street next to my warehouse. Without any salesmen Tok! Serem is not! ?"
Anto gawked, "Waduh, serem tuh Gus, how does it go?"
"I was afraid, so hurry back and call my mother. And you know what we saw so back?"
"Ouch, what do you see Gus," Anto asked half in a whisper.
"We didn't see anything."
"Don't see anything?"
"Yes Tok, the meatball wagon vanished without a trace, hiii. sheremm." Agus said with a look of fear.
Anto was pensive for a moment, his tangled brain was trying to manage, he was again thinking about the incident that Agus experienced with the one he experienced last night.
That night he also heard a spoon punch on the meatballs bowl, but he did not see the meatball cart, while Agus heard also the typical call of the meatballs, saw the cart, but did not see the seller. Where is the seller?
Uh! Anto hit his own eel, why is he stupid, was there not a buyer in his stall last night when he was about to close the stall, a man bought a candle? That's the answer, the candle buyer is the meatball! What happened must be the meatballs ran out of candles, maybe he originally wanted to buy at the shop of Agus, but because the stall was quiet because the young man was looking back for candles, maybe he was looking for candles, the meatball brother finally bought a candle in his stall. Well, that must be the case, thinking so Anto grinned.
"Hey!? What's so funny Tok?" agus Tegur.
Anto scratched his head, "Sorry Gus, but I think your story was really beyond my fear, you know, if someone is afraid of overdoing it can show a strange expression, yes one of them is like I grinned earlier."
"So you're scared to hear my story, too, Tok?"
"Yes, obviously, okay, Gus, thank you, I'm saying good.and I think we should be careful if we keep the stalls at night now, you know what I mean?" anto said with a tense and serious face.
Agus nodded quickly, "Betul Tok, I guess I am also reluctant to open the stall too late for now.'
Anto then left the house of Agus, maybe he sinned not to tell the true incident to Agus. But for some reason, the story of Agus according to him is not worth fighting, let the story about the Ghost Meatballs will always settle into a special memory for the experience of the young man.
So-called.
