The Inheritance and Leaning of the Headstone

Chapter 16 Narrow Grave

Sinta's house became crowded and rowdy. Moreover, the unnatural death of her husband makes the neighbors concerned link with land that has not been sold for long.

They whispered, if after Mbah Karti it was who killed Alex. Alex was buried in the grave of Mbah Karti.

And when the diggers dug up Alex's grave. They were shocked, because the grave was always narrowed. Three times they measure and the measure is correct. But when it was finished, then the grave became narrow again.

The grave diggers were exhausted. They've been digging repeatedly whenever the size doesn't fit.

"Where is this kang? The measurement is narrow again,"

"Well how else? We have dug it more than three times. Masa, this way gini aja,"

"Yes is kang. I've run out of composure to dig it up again. Can't afford kang,"

"Then, we go home and report to his family" said Kang Asep.

They went home and some stayed there. They reported the incident to Sinta and Frans. And then they asked someone else to try to dig it up.

Not long after the grave diggers also reported the same incident. They repeatedly dug and every time it was finished, the grave narrowed back.

So his family had to use a narrow grave to bury Alex.

Alex was buried in a slant because his grave was really narrow. Even an event like this has only happened once in Kunti village.

Alex finished being buried, Sinta looks still in shock with the sudden departure of her husband and in a mysterious way.

Frans was sitting on the porch with Mila. They looked at each other in silence.

"Mil, it looks like our marriage should be postponed. The family is mourning. And what if I delay next year?" frans looked at Mila.

Mila nodded and understood what had happened so suddenly like this.

And according to the belief of people in the village of Kunti, if one of the families died, then in the same year there should be no wedding. Had to change years after, to avoid disaster.

"Yes, I'm not papa. If the wedding is next year,"

"But, Mila, we're getting engaged in two weeks. As proof if you've applied and become my future wife. So that no one else comes near you,"

"If that's what you want. I don't mind,"

Mila then went home. And as he walked home, he saw a black shadow walking towards the grave.

The shadow is similar to Mbah Karti.

Mila became creepy.

When he was going to sleep, he was still nervous. He thought about how Alex died in an unnatural way.

But he was sure in his heart. This must be the result of his actions to throw greedy and greedy. Sell the inheritance and use it for his foya-foya.

In the morning, Sinta came to her husband's grave. Crying there because you feel lost.

Sinta was accompanied by Frans, her sister-in-law.

After sowing flowers, Sinta was brought home. And when he arrived home, he was surprised to see Mr. Kusni was already in his house with a pale face and frightened.

"Mom, I came for an important thing with my mother" said Mr. Kusni.

"Yes sir, please sit down, please,"

"First, I say sorry. And secondly, I want to return the land I bought, ma'am,"

"Why sir? I've bought it and the contract is also finished" said Bu Sinta surprised, because some of his money has been bought a car.

"That's buk. I became unsettled. Every night is haunted by a black shadow. The shadow kept crying in my window and asked for the land to be returned,"

"There may be such a thing Mr. Kusni. Lest it's just the father's feelings," Sinta tried to keep his money from the sale of vast land.

"True ma'am, I can't take it anymore. Every night I was scared. And this incident rocks this once in my lifetime. Later I bring the letter here yes Mom," Mr. Kusni then said goodbye.

Sinta can't say anything anymore. He's been trying to force Mr. Kusni not to return the land. But Mr. Kusni looks very scared and still kekeh to return the land he bought not long ago.

Frans came and sat down beside his sister-in-law.

"Sir, let Mr. Kusni return the land. I also have a bad feeling about Mbah Karti's legacy, surely this is the cause of Alex to die in an unnatural way,"

"Ahh, you also should not be affected by the neighbor's talk. They like to make up stories. Don't listen to it. Indeed, we are not his brother Because he has no children, it is natural that his property falls into the hands of brothers? There must be someone else who doesn't like Alex. Then send us a hand,"

"Yes, if you don't listen. But most importantly, I warned you. Don't let Miss Santi also wretched because of this inheritance,"

"Say if you want to also ask for a part," Sinta wrote to her sister-in-law.

"Ngga mbak, I have absolutely no intention to ask for Mbah Karti's inheritance. If I am the one given the mandate. Then I will donate some of it to the mosque and donations. To relieve Mbah Karti and his family.

"Ah, stop. You've been poisoned by Mila. That's why the talk went bouncing, yes. Ma'am wants to rest," Sinta then sleep after yesterday busy and just keep crying.

Sinta's family also came to accompany her. They also wonder and talk about what happened with Alex. They have also advised Sinta to donate some of Mbah Karti's property to the orphanage. But Sinta refused.
