The Pending Wait

The Pending Wait
Mysteries



A day at home is very boring, has no activities and also money.


Installing fish links or fishing has not produced at this time.


Maybe I should find a side job to add to my allowance, before I go to school.


I enrolled myself in YAPIM (Yayasan Perguruan Indonesia Pembangunan) automotive school just like Andi.


It was one of the large schools building is also 5-storey and there are 2 separate buildings that are front building filled by Computer majors, which is, IPA and IPS while the rear building is filled by the Department of Automotive, Tooling Techniques, TKJ, Audio Video and SMP.


This school includes a school that has complete facilities from the workshop to the laboratory.


Yes like that.

09:40 wibf.


I was in the woods behind the house, looking for fish to sell and make money.


At that time was drizzling and cloudy also made this place feel dark.


I who stepped slowly felt that there was something strange about this place.


And sure enough, just walking a few steps suddenly came the sound of Gamelan.


Gamelan is a typical and unique Javanese traditional music, each beat has its own meaning.


Slowly I moved to follow the music as I headed towards that place.


Without realizing it, I had gone too far into the forest.


Somewhere there are people standing under shady trees, because they feel that my friend is approaching them while greeting them.


I didn't realize what I was up against, I didn't suspect anything or fear anything.


Because what I was thinking at the time was that someone was having a wedding party.


As I approached them, they looked like they were looking at something in the southwest direction.


"What's that sound, sir?" I'm confused about them.


They just smiled without saying a word, it was strange and started to look suspicious.


I began to look around me, the place I came to seemed familiar and it seemed like I had been here.


Suddenly someone patted my shoulder and also smiled, when I turned his head he pointed in a direction.


The confused me looked in that direction and saw a bright light like the countryside.


I also walked in that direction and it looks like there is a village here.


Slowly I tried to approach the place and saw many children running towards me, they laughed and smiled happily as if welcoming my arrival.


"Where are you going?" I'm confused.


"Kesana bang, there is a party" said one of the children.


Not long after I arrived at a house similar to a palace, the house was very large and magnificent and had a level of up to four floors.


That's where Gamelan's voice came from.


People were so crowded watching the show, happy and carefree faces seemed to envelop the atmosphere of the place.


I was so immersed in music that I forgot that I had gone too far.


Suddenly my phone rang and the music suddenly died.


People look at me, they look angry.


I immediately apologized and tried to turn off my HP, but I was immediately shocked.


saw hundreds of phone calls on Hpku and the time showing at 22:53.


I turned to them and they suddenly disappeared without a trace and I just stood on a small hill with a big tree.


The place was so dark and horrible, my hair immediately stood up and it felt like my legs were numb to be immobilized.


It felt like the sky was spinning and my body was goosebumps.


I was really scared in that place until not long after the torch lights appeared from a distance that made me even more afraid of not being careless.


The lights were getting more and more and closer to me.


It was getting closer until I closed my eyes tightly.


until a lot of light enveloped me, I fell down in fear.


"Momo, wake!" Someone's voice slapped my shoulder.


I immediately turned my head and it turned out that there were many people from my village who had come looking for me.


I was surprised to see that crowd.


It turns out I've been missing from home since dawn.


At first my father thought I was going to Andi's house, so my father and mother were not worried at first but when the afternoon began my father began to worry because I did not go home.


Andi seems to go out with her grandfather.


Long story short, I was home.


People have been crowded in my house, my grandmother and also my aunt who is in the village sebrang also has arrived at my house.


It turned out that I had completely disappeared for a long time and my sister and brother had been looking for me a place I used to go to but I was not there.


It made them panic.


I am currently silent.


I don't know why I can't talk, I went silent like a fool until my grandfather gave me water that has been read the holy verse of the Qur'an.


After I drank the water for a while I fell asleep for a moment.


It felt like I was back in that place, hearing the sound of Javanese gamelan that was so melodious.


And then I woke up again.


But my house at that time was not as crowded as it was when I came home.


I got up and walked to get some water and got some food.


All day long it's gone making my stomach hungry.


At that time my mother woke up and approached me who was eating.


"Where were you?" Ask my mother, and she boiled water in a little boiler.


"I don't know either, just the way to make a sound" I replied.


"What sound?, there's a call to you?"


"No, the sound of music is like jarkep." Jel explained.


"Gamelan." Answer mother.


"Yes that voice, it sounds really Mak!" I explained to my mother.


I also told the incident about the people who were there, the hospitality of the residents and also the traditional music that was so melodious.


When I was telling the story, the gamelan voice started to sound again.


So strong that my dad and grandpa woke up.


We also got goosebumps hearing the sound of Gamelan out of nowhere.


My grandfather also sprinkled salt around the house and then invited me to pray tahajud prayer while praying for forgiveness from the almighty.


After that the gamelan sound disappeared and we ended up sleeping soundly.


Actually the voice did not stop the sound was still heard, but only I could hear the sound until dawn.
