The Groaning From Behind the Grave

chapter 12: A shocking news story

" Everyone who has crossed the streets of your house at night will surely see the figure of the woman "

" w-what do you mean jun? You're not kidding, are you? "

" i told the truth mas aryo. I did not lie, even I had seen the figure several times last night, "sigh juno said. his eyes glanced at the glimpse of the coffee cup that was beginning to cool down.His black lips let out as thin as white cigarette smoke.

juno was silent as well as aryo.The two men were busy with their own thoughts. The clock on the wall ticked slowly.ten o'clock at night was the time to sleep, but not for them. they were still waiting, waiting for this gripping night to pass as soon as possible.

" What's with all this jun? it felt all this strange, "cetus aryo while looking at the roofs of the house sky.

Juno shook his head slowly.

" i also don't fully understand mas, with what happened.which is definitely the state of the village now again emergency mas, "juno said seriously.

" you mean? " ask aryo confused.

Juno was silent for a moment, then said.

" mas aryo still remember with maman, his son kang jali ama mpok ningsih who lost it? " juno asked a question.

Aryo nodded.of course he remembered with the child of the mysterious jali which disappeared.and reportedly until now, the child was not known whereabouts. but for what juno said so thought aryo full of question marks.

" of course I remember, why jun? " sahut aryo is getting confused.

Juno continued his sentence.

" It seems that similar cases have also happened to some families in this village mas, their children disappeared mysteriously and until now they have not been found, "juno explained with a pale face. his expression was blank as he explained that.

The coffee that was in the middle of the aryo drink sprayed out of the mouth of the owner. Aryo choked so shocked to hear the information from juno.

" w-what jun, is that true? where are they, those kids? " ask aryo bombarding.

" I don't know, I answered the truth mas. Even the police officers were confused to handle this case, "as well as juno.

" then what does this have to do with all this, with the appearance of the figure, "asked aryo still with a wondering face.

Juno looked at aryo with a hard-to-understand look, before speaking.

" I suspect that figure is the culprit of all the problems of the disappearance of children in the village, "juno toilet full of emphasis.

" Are you sure jun? it could be all this from the kidnappers, " said Aryo.

Juno replied back, "Which kidnappers can kidnap children in the near future mas ", he added.

" Even one night I saw the coach of his son, Mr. RT, was walking alone towards the bottom of the container.when I and my friends were trying to patrol, he said, it was seen that the kuntilanak figure was walking beside the ratih then they both entered into the pedestal, "obviously juno at length.

" what about that coach jun? " ask aryo curiously.

Juno let out a heavy sigh, "Just like the others, the ratih is also gone and we don't have enough courage to enter that dark area" Juno shuddered.

Aryo fell silent.His head was filled with various questions that asked for answers.His heart trembled and his breath was tight withholding grief.should he ask that to juno? something that has been bothering him ever since.

" jun.., "aryo said slowly.

Juno looked at aryo, looking at the man with a face full of question marks.

" what do you think, all this, the problems in the village, the appearance of the kuntilanak figure, as well as the disappearance of some children, has to do with the death of kinanti, " said aryo stammered. his brown eyeballs stared at juno sharply.

Juno is drunk.he did not expect that his best friend would ask so.

" What does sampeyan mas mean? " ask juno with a stutter.

" don't pretend you don't know juno, you and the other citizens must think this is the action of the soul of the future right? " ask aryo in a high tone.

" to be honest, I also suspect so mas, this problem has something to do with the death of my mother, " replied juno carefully. the man under the age of aryo was trying to make his sentence not one offend aryo.

" i'm sorry you know that my sentence was alluding to sampeyan, but I want nanya, what after the death of mbak kinanti, there is something strange in the life of sampeyan, "quired juno curious.

" you've been right since the death of my wife, strange things happen all the time in the house, especially with the sound of crying and a mysterious room that I don't know what room it is either, " aryo.

Juno had goosebumps, but she was also curious about the room that Aryo meant.

" mas room? " ask juno confused.

Aryo nodded, "yes jun. an old room next to mine. When I was alive, he always forbade me to look at the contents of the room. even he did not hesitate to slap me if I forced my way in, " continued aryo back with a sad look.

Juno is torn to hear the story of his best friend. He slowly began to understand something.

" Don't let's not wait–" juno was forced to stop his sentence when the doubt appeared in his heart.

" don't-don't what jun? " ask aryo wonder.

Juno shook his head with an awkward smile.no! he must not assume too far.it needs some evidence to strengthen his speculation earlier.

" no mas, I forgot to say what hehe said, "reply juno laughed clumsily.

Aryo gave a small smile, before his gaze returned stupefied.

" if the figure of kuntilanak is the incarnation of the soul of the princess, then I am ready to make up for all the mistakes that have been made by my wife, " said Aryo.

Juno was silent while listening to this expression of her friend.

" it's not your wife's spirit mas, it's the incarnation of a demon that resembles your wife.There must be something that has happened here, something that is the beginning of all this, "the timpal juno calms the aryo.

The slightly flashing dim light of the bulb shone on the two men who were glued to silence.The dog's howling sounds disturbed the silence from a distance.along with a loud slap of the night wind on the windowpan.

" jun, for the next few days, I'm allowed to stay at your house huh, "aryo said to juno.

While blowing cigarette smoke, juno smiled assuringly.

" of course you can, than to get back to that house. The ones that are ntar are even bullied, "juno said.

Aryo singunkan smile.Luckily he has a good friend like juno, whispered aryo inwardly.

" i'm allowed to rest first jun, is there a room I can occupy? " said aryo.

" there is mas aryo, the room there is empty, "came juno while pointing to a room near the TV.

Aryo. The man stood up and stepped into the room appointed by juno.he was very tired tonight.physically and his soul was moaning. He wants to rest, empty the horizon tomorrow morning.

" mas aryo, mas tau mbak dinda, the nurse from that town? " june suddenly asked.

only halfway through he stepped, juno's voice sounded from behind.

Aryo looked and answered

" know he's my friend why? " reply aryo asked.

" Last afternoon I heard from residents, if mbak dinda said he was found lying on the road to the hamlet of dukuh mas, "a short juno sentence, but it was enough to make aryo stranded so shocked.

" wh-what! "
