The Inheritance and Leaning of the Headstone
Chapter 12 The Land in the Papringan



Elsewhere, Mr. Wito came home at one night. He went another way, so as not to pass the grave again. Remembering a few days ago, when his motorcycle broke down and sounded creepy.


Now Mr. Wito is passing through the rice fields. The light of the moon shone among the yellowing paddy. Only the sound of crickets could be heard in his hideout.


Suddenly, a white figure blocked his path.


Mr. Wito was surprised not to be a bitch. He almost fell off the bike in shock. Until the balance is lost.


"Mbah Karti.." suddenly Mr. Wito saw his figure floating.


"Wito.... Wito... save my treasure...."


And after saying so, the white shadow disappeared in one eye readiness.


"God! Mbah Karti. I need to get home soon. It's getting unsafe here. There are ghosts everywhere," Mr. Wito immediately drove his motor speed and did not care about his safety so afraid of him. I want to get home and hide under the covers.


"What's up, sir? How scared is that?" asked his wife to see her husband enter the house with trembling hands and a pale face. Sweat drenched his forehead.


"That's Mom, is there an apparition?"


"What sightings sir? At least it's just a gut feeling,"


"Ngga Ma'am. It's real. Mbah Karti appeared in front of the motorbike in the middle of the road,"


"What?"


"Yes Mom. All my life, only this time I've seen a subtle creature,"


"Did he say something sir?"


"True Bu, Mbah Karti seems to be unsettled because all his land is sold and his money is being hailed by Alex and Sinta,"


"Well, that's what you don't know Mom. How is Mom? What should father do? Because, this father is someone else. So it would be wrong to interfere with the inheritance" her husband said and drank warm water.


Mr. Wito and his wife talked until they were going to sleep.


In the morning, Alex invites Mr. Wito to witness the sale of rice fields behind Mila's house. Because when buying the land, Mr. Wito was the witness. And since Alex is going to sell him then he needs Wito again.


"Sir, I beg you to be a witness to the sale of this land" Alex said, handing over the pen to Mr. Wito.


Mr. Wito trembled at the thought of Mbah Karti's message that haunted him last night.


"Sorry, Mr. Alex. I can't. Others only," said Mr. Wito refused yes.


"Later give me two percent sir. It would be good if the behavior is five hundred million, two percent can make pak Wito snack," said Alex.


"No sir, I dare not. Last night, I was met by Mbah Karti. He is not happy that his land is being sold and he is sending me the same message to say this" Mr Wito told Alex.


"Yes already sir. If you don't want to. But don't talk weird. A dead man, how can he rise again? Especially talking like that?"


"But I didn't lie Alex. This is true, even in the cemetery I have also heard the sound of their cries. Then the sloping tombstones, it's because they're warning us of their nature" Mr. Wito said.


"Ah, ngaco this Wito sir. So slithering everywhere. We are entitled to a legacy, Mbah Karti. Want us to sell or not, you should not interfere with Mr. Wito if this matter. If you want yes, so witness later I give percent. But don't make up obscure superstitious stories,"


"Yes sir, I just want to say it. If you don't please, I apologize. Excuse me."


Mr. Wito returns home. He was replaced by someone else for signature. That person was the head of Kunti village. Mr. Jayan. Even Pak Jayan also has some land letters belonging to Mbah Karti which he still holds because of an affair in the past. And until now all his brothers no one knows, if Mbah Karti has land in the village of Papringan.


Mr. Jayan also intended to sell it secretly.
