The House in the Middle of Sawah

Rawon demon

Kriieett

The sound of the door opening woke me up. What time is it now? I blinked, I saw HP turned eleven at night. Shit, I overslept. Forgetting the message from Lik Diran to look at the back house. It could be Mbah Kung Kadir who just opened the door.

I woke up from my sleep. Still feeling a little dizzy. The room still feels like it's spinning. But not so bad. I put my feet out of the room. Cold air immediately ambushed. The wind blows my hair.

The front door is half open. Ah, maybe Mbah Kung Kadir has come home. But how to get in, wasn't the door I locked. I walked towards the door, the air outside was really cold. I closed the door and locked it back.

I turned then to the kitchen, opening the hood. There is rice, rawon, and krupuk in it. It was cold but the smell was still appetizing. I swallowed spit. Why didn't Lik Diran buy it for me either.

I just realized, on the floor there are traces of muddy footprints leading to the back door. Ohh, that means Mbah Kung Kadir has indeed returned from his seed. I immediately took a container or platter, to bring rice, a bowl of rawon and krupuk at once.

I rushed to the back house. It feels quiet and gloomy. The dim lighting and the smell of frankincense are spreading in the old building where Mbah Kung ku is. It appears that Mbah Kung is sitting on his back to me in his rocking chair. I walked closer.

"Emm, Kung . . . This was rawon from Lik Diran. He was afraid Mbah Kung had not come home. In maem ya Kung," I put rice, rawon and krupuk on the table, a little far from where Mbah Kung was sitting.

"Hmmmm . .," Mbah Kadir simply replied with a thud.

I immediately shuffled away leaving Mbah Kadir. I really do not feel at home for long, besides it is a bit lazy to meet Mbah Kung Kadir, also because the aura of the place feels uncomfortable for me. I went back to the kitchen to put the container to carry the plate.

Plakk

I patted my own forehead. Remember how stupid I am. I forgot to bring a spoon and water to Mbah Kung. Cook yes eat rawon do not use a spoon. Ahh, I should go back before the old man scolds me. I took a spoon, a fork, a drink of water, and I brought you all the peanuts in the jar. Who knows after eating Mbah Kung want to snack.

I hurriedly headed to the back house once more. I saw the food on the plate had not been touched. Mbah Kung Kadir is still fun relaxing in his rocking chair. I put down spoons, forks, kendhi and bean jars.

"Kung, chepet in maem Kung. Later in the ants, "I asked my Mbah for this one to eat immediately. Isn't Mbah Kung just a few days? What is Mbah Kung eating in the woods? Rawon rice should be very appetizing. Yet this Grandfather was like indifferent.

"Hmmm . .," again, Mbah Kung simply replied with a thud.

In my heart I grumbled, saying yes, okay, or siaapp that's what it was. Feeling unconcerned I also frowned, back to the front, to the main house. I went to the room to go back to sleep. I lay down my body, I saw the sky of the room and again counted the lizard up there. But this time I did not feel sleepy. I have trouble getting back to sleep.

Ten minutes, fifteen minutes and half an hour I just turned my back on the bed. It's almost midnight now. Due to saturation, silence was not clear in the room I decided to watch television only.

I turned on the tv and I was watching FTV at midnight. FTV which was played yesterday afternoon, is being played this way again. Watching tv turned out to be quite successful to make me feel sleepy again. I yawned a few times. I lay my body down in front of the tv, I'm getting ready for bed. Let the tv light up and wait for me to fall asleep.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Right at midnight. The television program changed its midnight news program. There was no other choice, I began to listen to the news.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

The laughter from the back home sounded. This time it was louder and clearer. I was curious, thought Mbah Kung Kadir was laughing at what. I walked to the back door. I opened the door with half a lift so as not to make a sound. The door opened slightly, a gap enough for one of my eyes to peek into the back house.

Because the dim lighting of the back house is a bit difficult to see what is happening there. After a while my eyes began to get used to the dim lighting. It looks like the food that is still intact has not been touched at all. I was annoyed, I knew I had eaten it. The rawon looks good. The figure of Mbah Kung is still fun to lean on his rocking chair. The chair moves slowly. Don't let Mbah Kung sleep in that sitting position.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok

I heard the front door knocking. I was quite surprised, I immediately closed the door where I peeked. I rushed to the front door. But then my steps stopped. Who thinks midnight knocking on the door? Could it be that Lik Diran came home from the Hospital? But there was no sound of his pick up.

A little hesitant I flicked the curtains slowly, and tried to peek out. It turns out that on the doorstep there is . . . Mbah Kung Kadir. . . Huh uh?! Who was that in the back house? I stood sculpting.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok

Back door knocked. A little jolted I quickly opened the door. Mbah Kung Kadir entered the house. This time the original Mbah Kung Kadir, because it was clearly in front of me. Then I walked behind him.

"Mbah Kung, that was . . . . . . ..," I had trouble choosing the right word for what I saw behind.

"I'm my apprentice, my batur. Ojo kuwatir (That's my friend, don't worry)," Mbah Kung replied lightly.

I'm the one who gawked. Said friend?

"I usually sing mbukakne I lawang yen locked (He who usually opens the door when locked)," Mbah Kung Kadir continued.

"Nyapo kowe scared me? (Others you kneel me) Dang turu kono. (quickly sleep there)," Mbah Kung slightly snapped at me.

"Emm . . . anu Mbah, I was already preparing maem. Rawon in the back house," I'm confused to say what so remember the rawon that I've brought to the back house earlier.

"Wes eruh (Already know)," replied Mbah Kung, then went by leaving me who once again gawked in front of the room.
