" yes, dede laper, want mamam porridge," the small whining sound was heard waking a woman from her deep sleep in bed. His little hand held the cheek of the mother who had woken up from her dream.

"" her.enya wake up dong, "whimper spoiled the child.

" yes, disturb me aja lu man, " while yawning slowly, the woman who is daily called ningsih then moved from her sleep. although sleepy is not restrained plus annoyed to the child just wayangnya, but as a mother, she still has to obey the wishes of this child.

waking up from sleep made the vision of the twenty-seven-year-old woman somewhat clouded. While opening his eyes slowly, ningsih trying to adjust his neutrality with the darkness that exists.

" ning.nang..ning, "

the soft voice full of wailing was heard amidst the rumbling of rain falling outside.

Ningsih was silent, as well as her maman–kannya who also fell silent. The gecko squeaks on the home platform sound loud breaking the silence that loosens the ears.

" What sound? How rich are people humming anymore anyway? " murmurm ningsih wonder.

" nya, maman was afraid, there was aunty serem decking the door, "the eight-year-old boy suddenly screamed for no reason. Amidst the dimness of the room, her little index finger pointed towards the dark corner of the room.

suddenly, the view follows the child's index finger. But after investigation it turns out...

It's blank!

He found nothing in the darkness. Only a slow wind rippled from behind the ventilation gap.

" aunty what the fuck you tong, how weird!" hardik was upset.

" that was his tantenya saw directly to us, "squeezed softly maman, "his eyes were red, his face was item. Seremnya, "maman whispered with a view that was still looking towards the corner of the room earlier.

The dim room atmosphere makes the two children‐the child was not too clear to see the situation around. The sight of ningsih circled through every corner of his room, the lights that died as if making his eyes tormented.

" udeh ah u nakut-nakutin me aja tong, katenye lu laper earlier. Bentar enya want to take rice, "said ningsih. The fat woman got out of bed.

" don't be long, maman is afraid to be alone here, "cited the boy with an anxious tone.his eyeballs rolling looking at the mother who was taking a long flashlight.

Ningsih who was struggling to turn on the flashlight, glanced at the son who was still curled up in the bed, "iye tong, you baek-baek here, don't go anywhere, " long-term advice to maman.

There was no speech, only silence that somehow felt gripping.from behind the blanket, the vision of the maman suddenly surprised as he looked towards the mother. From behind the darkness, Maman saw...

" Yes udeh tong, I went to the kitchen first ye. you she rese bener dah malem-malem ask for food, "said ningsih still a bit irritated.

" Yes, that's her.., "pointing maman towards ningsih. His little shoulders were shaking slowly. His forehead looks soaked with sweat. His eyes dodged towards the ningsih who was standing confusedly staring at him.

The little boy gritted his teeth in horror when he realized that something was standing next to his mother.

" Apaan again lu tong, "tanya ningsih who was increasingly annoyed with this child.

" nya.., "cetus maman lirih, "that aunt seremnya is in deket enya, "he continued again.

Hearing the cry of his son Ningsih then turned his head, and in that very second, his eyes were stunned as he looked...

...****************...

" Sister came home, " said a man in a grey jacket as he opened his door.

KRIEEET!!!

In the midst of the rainstorm that hit the village, the sound of the door creaking was heard when the man named rojali fully opened the door of his house.

" wah udeh in his rich sleep, "cetus rojali which is often called bang jali when seeing the condition of the house that looks quiet.

In the dimly lit living room, the one-child man and his wife saw several candles attached to a corner of his house. Makes a magical atmosphere very felt in this small house.

" busyet, my house is already rich in the event of aje visitation, "jali joke while continuing to step towards his room is, "kira‐kira ningsih udh sleeping yet huh? " murm the man.

" bang jali.., " whispered a voice.

when dark and quiet enveloped, the jali who was stepping slowly suddenly stopped. He was silent in the middle of the street when his ears heard a whisper.

" bang jali.already home bang, "the voice whispered again. The voice was heard from his right side.

" oh god! " cry in shock jali suddenly. The man's reflexes turned his body towards the right, to the kitchen connecting the living room with the dining room.

In the dim darkness, a large silhouette that turned out to be faintly out approached the jali.

" your brother's home? " tanya ningsih smiled, "take what food kage bang? " tanyanya again. Her chubby cheeks slightly revealed a smile.

Seeing his wife who was as big as an elephant, the heartbeat of jali slightly subsided. He then chimed, "the new man came home directly nanyain food, basic barrel, "jali insinuations on ningsih.

Ningsih just kept quiet not to return the ridicule of her husband.maybe he offended or something, I don't know.

" How about bang ama tahlilan event at his house bang aryo? So what no, "tanya ningsih. The woman slowly drew closer to the jali, aligning her large body with her husband's squeaky body.

" not so, the cave ama other pilgrims were originally going to the house of the aryo, but because of heavy testing, so the cave is more likely to return to the house, "lit jali to ningsih.

Ningsih was silent. The yellow-hijab woman suddenly lowered her head.

Jali was only astonished when she saw this wife, especially coupled with a ningsih face romance that looked pale.

"What's wrong with this wife" that's how it was in the mind of Jali at that time.

" bang..why did you come home? " ningsih who was still lowered her head, asked jali.

Jali who was more astonished, immediately replied, "lu budeg ye, obviously I said earlier, I came home because of the more rapid testing, "lit jali again, " udeh ah, you're weird, where's the maman? " continue jali while asking the whereabouts of his son-maman.

not answering, she pointed to her son's room.

BABEHHH!!!

Jali was shocked. When he heard the sound of his son screaming loudly calling him.

" what's wrong, "jali said in shock. The man in the jacket rushed to the child's room. Anxiety guitars look neatly sculpted in each curve of the man's face.

BABEHHH!!!...

BANG JALI!!!...

DEG!

Between the cries that stirred the whole house, Jali's face suddenly pale, as her ears caught a voice familiar to her.

" ningsih....," jali muttered softly, "wasn't that guy just behind me ye? " whispered jali was-was.

realizing that something was strange, Jali immediately stopped her steps. The man looked back to make sure.

As the man looked back, Jali immediately gasped softly.

" Bang jali.., bang jali....,"

in the gripping darkness of the central room, Jali saw something floating closer to her.

Jali narrowed her eyes to ascertain what was in front of her. As the figure drew closer, the ball of her eyes almost jumped from its place, she saw...

" jali.jali.., "the figure that floated with a foul-smelling white cloth quickly approached the jali. The temperature suddenly became cold, along with a foul odor that smelled everywhere. Jali's body shook violently to resist the fear that attacked him.

" your s-siape? " lontar jali shaking.

The figure now stopped floating, its pale feet treading the floor of the house. From behind a face full of wounds and blood, a grin was created from the woman's black lips.

Jali shuddered in horror as she looked at that monstrous figure.

" Jali.." sizzled the figure, " ..please dig my grave, sick, painful..," he continued as he wept blood followed by a wail as if to keep the sorrow deep.

Jali did not answer, the man just pecked like a stone statue.His face froze, his look held a stupor, and his bottom pants wet with urine.

" S-setaaaaaaaaaan, "cried with fear. At once his feet stepped like a thief. The man turned around, fleeing towards his room.

" hi.hi.hi.hi..jali.

While with his own jali, while full of panic, the skinny man ran as hard as he could.

While outside, sparkling lightning continued to jolt the body of the universe, its water descended flowing like sweat from the temples of the sky.

DRAPON...DRAPON...DRAPON...

the sound of jali's feet pounding echoed along the hallway of the walled house. Take the man further down the dark labyrinth of his home.

" An*jing! Help me, " shouted jali.

after passing through the turn of a room, he rushed into a room that looked dim, his room room.

" hosh.hosh...hosh! " whispers full of fear, "do I have a wrong vision, "he continued with a hunting breath.

The man was leaning against the door of the room, alone in the dim darkness. He tried to find his wife's son who had called, but the darkness of the room made his vision somewhat blurred.

In the midst of a gripping atmosphere, Jali remembered his wife and child. He called them out in a loud voice.

" maman, where are you? "

There is no reason. everything is completely silent and silent.the roar of rain outside is heard raining down on the roof of the house. Jali is uncomfortable with this situation.

" jul jali..., "

Jali who was calming down, heard the voice of the familiar woman.

" ningsih.., "murm jali. Hurriedly the man got up from his seat, then intended to open the door.but when his hand was already holding the door knob, there was a feeling of doubt enveloping his heart.what if it was not ningsih but creepy creature that again.

Jali was again frightened.the pounding of his heart was like being pounded hard.Cold sweat came down the temple. Jali took a few steps back when she saw the door being pounded hard.

DOC! DOC! DOC!

" bang jali.bang jali..open bang, this is me ningsih..open bang! " a loud voice was heard from outside the room. The bangs on the door were getting louder along with sobs of roaring tears.

" ning is you? " ask jali with doubt.

" this is me bang.cepet open the door, our son bang.si maman–" the sound ningsih disjointed with sobs increasingly loud heard.

BRACKET! As fast as lightning jali opened the door while ningsih who turned out to be standing near the doorway mentioned his son's name.

" why ama maman ning! where are the kids, aren't you? " jali said with a long question. Anxiety was clearly visible on Jali's face. His breathing roared as he looked at the ningsih who was still crying silently.

" answer ning! " punchy jali hard.

with a stammering tone and melted tears still coming down, ningsih said.

" our son is missing bang.the woman took maman, "tukas ningsih quivered.

The night crept more and more.The lightning in the sky was like a flame that was whistling with hearts.The black ink had dripped on the paper. Opening a record of terror that is approaching soon.
