The After I Die

Black Science

The sound of the crackling of plates and glasses disturbed the gripping morning atmosphere, Kina got up from the bed with her tiptoe steps, afraid to make a sound, she peeked out from behind her bedroom door, the living room window was already wide open, the smell of the habang rice began to smell from the front stall of their house, Kina frowned confusedly

How can ?

When did they come back ?

His father came from the kitchen and brought some dishes to wear in the stall, the middle-aged man glanced at the child who was loosening his head from the room, like a mouse afraid of being caught by a cat

“Nak, not school?"

Her father reprimanded, Kina flinched in shock, hurriedly opened the room door wide, her body soaked by the increasingly wet sweat, picking up the towel draped behind the door

“When did mom and dad get home?" Kina did not answer, but asked back

“Jam ten, you're asleep, Nak“

Kina was confused, as she remembered she was awake all night and last night she experienced terrible things and terror that made her heart feel free, was that a dream?

How could he have such a real dream?

Seeing the dreamy Kina, the father immediately reprimanded “Quick shower"

His father passed to the front stall of the house, when he heard his mother's screams from there

“Yes, this is going to take a shower" He said nervously, rushing to the bathroom at the end of the kitchen, a little dazed, but he remembered that the clock was seven o'clock, in half an hour he must be at school or he will be punished by the teacher for being late

Kina did all her activities for fifteen minutes, she hurried to put up her clothes and stopped by her mother's stall kitchen, tasted a little rice and greeted her father and mother, then we took a bike to school

The street of Damung Village was very crowded, it should be like this, considering that when he came home that morning it was really quiet

Some farmers were carrying hoes to meet him, mothers carrying vegetable baskets, the boisterous sound of ducks being released into competing ponds, children running around, and so on, and with the crackling sound of his bike chain that was almost never oiled

The bike drove up to the intersection in the middle of the village, in the middle of the intersection stood a three-meter-high wooden tower with a large bell, located right in the middle of the village, on the right is the road to his school, while on the left is the road to the Mursa family home and the village cemetery, he turns his bike to the right but a male scream from the left intersection makes him snarl

“BIG! THERE'S BODIES!"

Laki–the thick-bodied man ran a panting pontang, he was Sada, a cattle farmer whose house was not far from the Mursa family home, his screams attracted the attention of the villagers, they all stopped and approached curious

“Corpse?"

“I SAW!! MADA'S BODY RISES FROM THE GRAVE!!"

He shouted again, the entire village gathered in silence, Kina glancing at the glance as Eda came into the crowd, hearing the screams from Sada making her face deathly pale

Mada is the father of Eda who was buried yesterday

“How is it possible? any bodies rising from the grave?"

“True we saw him, his grave was open his corpse was at the gate of the cemetery!" Another cattle farmer said he was carrying a sickle and a basket of grass containing half his breath

“COCK! THIS MUST BE THE CURSE OF THE DEVIL!" Sada yelled again, provoking

“Black science! He must have embraced black magic!"

The boisterous sounds of mutual disbelief, while glancing at the silent Eda, Kina took off her bike and approached, Eda was shaking, her legs were barely able to support her, her body was barely, hurriedly he restrained Eda's body from behind, maintaining a standing position

They began to make a cornered opinion of Eda, the longer the more citizens gathered, until the appearance of Pak Mursa, the village leader with a cigarette tucked in his lips, the more people gathered, the half-century-old man still looked calm and dignified, he cleared his throat, making the entire village silent

“Sada, get us there!" He said sternly, Sada nodded and hurriedly led the way, quinine helped Eda walk, to hell with the school, it was okay to skip a day, anyway he was with Eda

Some residents followed them, while the rest returned to their respective activities

They passed by the niba grandmother's house, Kina found Nukas sitting on the porch alone, his hands holding the weeds

Kina smiled but a second later she withdrew her smile as she looked at the white-haired woman from behind the door that opened slightly, observing Nukas with a wide smile

Kina threw away face

“No way, definitely wrong look” He looked again, the figure does not exist, only Nukas who sat with empty eyes

He wanted to stop, but the gazes of the villagers seemed to forbid him, Eda beside him said nothing, leaving her body guided by Kina

They entered the forest by following the path, until seen from a distance two banyan leaves and roots touch each other, on top of which hung a simple board with the inscription public funeral

Under the inscription a corpse with a white cloth lay, they approached slowly, the white cloth had been completely stained to the ground, and some tearing here and there. That figure doesn't move

Eda could not hold himself back, he trembled violently

Mursa examined the corpse calmly, a moment of silence, between curiosity and fear, waiting for the words to come out of the village chief's mouth

“It's okay, maybe this was a hungry dog“

Forced Mursa tried to make the reason as logical as possible, although contrary to the facts, there was not a single wound on the body of the corpse

The villagers just received the information round and round, not daring to refute, as if they knew something would happen if they refuted

“You disperse" He pointed at the women carrying the vegetable basket, as well as the children behind

“And you helped me bury him“ He pointed at Sada and the other cattlemen, and they did it without protest, Eda and Kina just silently stared at the cemetery from a distance

Kina started thinking about some things, since she came out that night, there were a lot of strange things happening around her

is this a coincidence? or is there something?

He looked at Eda who let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, his pale countenance hardened, harboring anger, pulling out his hand which Kina was holding rough

“You, quick on blame“

He said softly glancing at Kina at a glance, then turned away with a step, Kina did not understand what Eda said, but one thing she knew was the speech was shown for her.
