After dawn prayers, the three hut dwellers in the middle of the abandoned plantation are now in a haru atmosphere. Mboh Darmi is inexhaustible - his tears shed farewell. Even though Zack said he only left for a while and would return after a little safe, Darmi still cried sobbing..
"That's it, deck. We like it would just incriminate her steps to leave. Stop your crying, I don't like seeing you like this". Mbah Suryo..
"You're not sad, man. Who cried last night alone when Zack and I were sleeping. I'm surprised there's such a weird sound that, uh it turns out there's a cry". Ejek mboh Darmi does not want to lose.
"That night I did a little, suddenly I woke up crying. I even suspect you hit me while I was sleeping". Elak Mbah Suryo does not want to be discovered.
"Kan, my own mas ngaku last night cry the reason must be just wholesale. You better say it, Mom". Mboh Darmi still forced.
"Udah - already. If your quarrels can be continued later after I leave. If you wait you guys get along - can I slow the movement..". Said Zack about fighting between Mbah Suryo and his wife.
"That's right, you really don't want to say we're not out - it's over the mouth. Husband is not understanding!". Annoyed, Darmi turned her face away from her beloved husband.
"But that's why you're not crying anymore, right". Mbah Suryo began to speak softly to persuade his wife.
"Huh, that's dong. I'll be relieved, I'll leave you guys for a minute. Couples that complement each other. I'll try to send someone to see you here, if you're ready I'll come by myself to pick you up with me to stay in town...". Zack approaches Mbah Suryo to greet him.
"I want to go first Mbah. Pray for a smooth and safe journey - well safe". Pamit Zack's. Mbah Suryo nodded while gripping Zack's shoulder tightly and began to chant prayers in his heart asking for God's protection so that Zack's journey was safe and protected by the almighty.
Zack turns to Mboh Darmi who is already a little calmer than before. "Mboh take care of your health. Do not think too much about my departure, see Mbah Suryo jealous that mboh attention same me. This time I'm for a chance to get him spoiled by mboh but after I come back don't expect him to get it again". Tempting Zack while glancing spoiled at Mbah Suryo who began to show a puffed-up face.
"Yes, you are careful on the road well, if you have arrived and met your family please say hello mboh and mbah you well". Mboh Darmi said with a warm smile typical of him.
There was nothing - what Zack was carrying was only his cell phone and his pocketbook which he had hidden under his clothes. His current appearance is like everyone else, Mboh Darmi managed to change his appearance to be very different from himself.
Before leaving, Zack wanted to look back at the hut but was quickly stopped by Suryo.
"If you've come out of the house to go far, don't stare back sometimes, pamali!". Obviously Suryo prevented Zack from turning back his body.
Zack couldn't argue and stopped turning his body. Intention to stare at the faces of the two of them to take a little more spirit but he could not do so due to the abstinence of Mbah Suryo.
Although not arranging each other but their feelings at this time are the same - just as painful for this temporary separation. The memories they had gone through for several months in this hut had already created quite a strong bond between the three of them.
"I'll come back to pick you up". Zack murmured in his heart.
"From this moment we will go back through the days of the two of us, mas". Imbuh mboh Darmi while leaning on the skinny chest of the husband.
"Amen". Mboh Darmi.

After being in the village of KarangJati, the countryside became the nearest neighbor Mbah Suryo hut. Zack carefully walked down every narrow street behind the residents' houses. After being behind the house he was heading to, he slowly approached the back door of the house.
Pak Arya's spirit house is his current stopover to do an important business.
"This must be the house of Mr. Arya, the spirit of Markona's husband". Zack's murmuring convinced himself. "Assalamualaikum, I tumpak mengesas my phone for a moment yes sir". Zack tried to excuse the homeowner.
Sounds silly but Zack still has to make a movement according to the teachings of Mbah Suryo. Not what it is, the house that has long been in residence must be there are new residents, what else Mr. Arya and his family killed in this house. Zack who is the current generation who actually does not believe in superstition like that only do it as a form of forgiveness to the deceased host.
Zack got permission from Markonah's mom the previous day to charge his phone. Just entering the plugs arrived - suddenly there was the sound of footsteps from the front of the house. Zack is confused as to how now, wants to be charged even a little power, want to stay will definitely go but his phone has not endangered itself
Lek's check.
The main door was opened and Zack had not moved from his position. Staring at his phone in the cas while thinking.
"You shut up - stay here well, your wits will not be discovered here...". Zack's message on his phone..
The footsteps drew closer to the kitchen. Zack rushes to hide his phone with a plate rack full of cutlery, then he hides under the kitchen column. Due to his large body, the door of his hiding place could not be tightly closed. He could see a pair of men walking toward the kitchen looking for something.
All the doors were opened by the man with great heart. There was not the slightest sound of impact, but as it got closer, the man even snapped back out of the room.
Huuff. Zack breathed a sigh of relief. But suddenly something came crisscrossing up his leg. The large-sized snake tried to stuff its entire body into Zack's current hideout. Zack tries to stay calm and confident that the snake will not do anything.
The man had also arrived - arriving back, at first the man looked stunned for a moment and then left again. Zack still did not dare to move in the slightest, the snake was already completely close to his face. I don't know what to do now. Want to save yourself from the snake but outside do not know safer or more dangerous.
The man returned with a stick in his hand. Zack only dared to glance with his eyeballs moving. Slowly but surely, the mysterious man gets closer and tries to open Zack's hiding door.
Prak....
"Zack!!".
