The Santet Neighbor Ku
The End of Everything



Today is an important day for us, the day we officially moved house. One by one the goods have been transported into the cargo car. Our stuff doesn't really mean much. Only the washing machine, television, refrigerator and a wooden cabinet made by yourself by Mas Jain.


Even the tables and chairs we left behind were rented, and also a blue horden. Let's just say it's a memory, and a poster of Yasin's surah by the door of the room.


There was a sight that caught my attention there. Si Mbah spoke to Mas Jain, he said he was glad we had our own house. Mas Jain was seen chatting casually with Mbah and her husband.


I am the one who carried the goods into the pick up car through the Mbah, I do not intend to greet him, even he himself greeted me.


"Alhamdulillah ndok, if you already have your own home. Mbah is happy, hopefully Mbah can also quickly make a house there." He smiled widely.


And yes, he also took out some land near our location. Will he be my neighbor for life? one day he will build a house there. Oh, naw!


I tried to smile and reply to her words casually. His son and daughter-in-law also seemed very friendly to us. I feel sorry for Ratih, what a pity this innocent girl is stuck in this with her in-laws. I heard, she's moved out and now lives at home with the Mbah.


But my sympathy is enough to get here, because the cargo car is ready to go. We left after saying goodbye.

I packed things with Mas Jain, while Einy lived with my in-laws at his house. While me and Jain cleaned the house.


One by one things were in place, only the refrigerator I left at my in-laws' house because in my place I only used solar panels. While the television and washing machine plan I will sell it.


We still have a lot of stuff to pack, but it's late at night. So we decided to continue tomorrow.


In our new home, for the first time we sleep in our own home. Tonight my dream is still the same, I am in two worlds connected through a door. I went back after Einy and the little boy who was with him. I held them both and ran out through the door. For the first time, I got through that door.


However, Einy and the boy are gone, not told in my dreams again. Dreams switch backgrounds and keep me awake.


It turns out it's morning. I prepared to cook with a makeshift menu, omelet and fern vegetables that I could find next to the house. Some people may not want to eat it. But I and Jain love ferns, especially those who are very young.


While cooking I kept remembering my dreams last night. The dream seemed real to me. Einy and the little boy who was always present in my every dream. Is the dream a sign?


All I feared the most was that the little boy in the dream was a subtle being following Einy. Is Einy followed by a subtle-creature? but in my dreams, that little boy is human. He's also lost in the supernatural like me and Einy. But who is this child?


Question after question kept coming to my mind. But what makes me most grateful is that I have never dreamed of a Labyrinth, or a log house and a barn house. For me, my dream last night was much better.


"Dec, the money's still not?" jain asked me while unpacking my bag.


"You see for yourself, if not wrong, there are only 500 thousand left. What are we going to buy??"


Mas Jain got my wallet and counted the contents.


"There's only 450 decks..." Mas Jain let out a long breath. "I think the money's still enough to get Mr. Utad here tomorrow night." Mas Jain was lethargic.


"It won't be enough, the money, the rice, the oil and so on are all gone. While your work is also finished, right? let's read the house ourselves, read Yasin and do'a congratulations."


"Yes deck, it's up to you. It's good too."


Because the money was not enough to call Mr. Ustad, we decided to read Yasin and do'a ordinary congratulations, nor did we call our parents to attend.


At home we looked peaceful, some relatives kept coming to visit us that afternoon, here although the forest even felt more comfortable and quiet than our previous contract.


The atmosphere of the night was pitch black, only the sound of crickets did not scare us. The more the night even the more peaceful it feels.


*******


The next morning my body had a high fever. I can't get up, just lie down. Sometimes I go to the toilet because of severe diarrhea. I was severely dehydrated, making me drink 2-3 liters of water a day.


I got pretty sick in 10 days. I was visited by my relatives that day.


"Don't you get pregnant??" ask Qila to me.


"Pregnant?? how could it be, I have a fever and diarrhea..Where could it hurt so pregnant??"


"Well, his name is who knows. You're not KB, are you?"


"Last month KB 6 months anyway mbak..."


"Well, try to buy a test pack who knows you're really pregnant."


I thought for a moment, "there really are also you mbak.yasudah, later tonight I try to go to the pharmacy to buy a test pack. Then the Einy has grown up, me and Jain mas also hope to have a baby again."


Qila's visit that day inspired me and inspired me to go to the pharmacy. I took Mas Jain out that night. While Einy lives with my in-laws.


After getting the test pack we went home. I can't wait for the results. After being sick enough that I suffered, I lost weight so that I looked very thin. But I am grateful to be given healing.


At night, I dreamt of Einy and the little boy again. That night I dreamed that the three of us had made it through the door, and after getting through it Einy and the little boy were lost not told in the dream again, and the background of the dream also changed.


I'm back to dreaming of the labyrinth, the dark labyrinth. I could feel the aura of the kuntilanak, the aura was so strong that it made me run away looking scared. But I did not see the appearance of the Kunti. And I made it out of the labyrinth.


On previous nights I also dreamed in the gedong house and the wooden house. There were only a few subtle beings walking without direction, but they did not see me and continued to walk without bothering me.


The next morning, I woke up from my sleep. I quickly went to the bathroom using my test pack. Honey, my urine is still very little. This is my urine in one night. Because very little urine was far below the line, I was forced to tilt the container to get to the line boundary. However, urine has not reached the line.


The urine rose very slowly, unlike when I was pregnant with Einy. The urine so quickly rose and instantly showed 2 strips of line. So slow did the water absorb until I cursed in my heart. Is this the effect of diarrhea I'm experiencing?


I waited for the water to really rise for 1 minute. And the first line appeared slowly in the next minute.


I was still waiting for the third minute, no more lines appeared. I dumped the rest of her urine, and it's still waiting. In the fifth minute there was still no line that appeared, so I picked it up and was about to throw it away. That was when the second line appeared slowly.


Is this a line? no, it's just a shadow.


But, this is like a red line?


I turned back the test pack, maybe this test pack is broken. So I just kept it, maybe an hour later the line could turn sharp.


I want to use the other test pack but I have to wait again until I get back to my feet. However, even though I use other pack tests, the result is still line 1, and the other one is just like a shadow.


I tried to ask my friends and relatives, they said I was positively pregnant. To make sure I'd do an ultrasound.


And sure enough, after I did the USG it turned out I was really pregnant. How happy we were to get that news.


And as I was pregnant, I never had nightmares like before. Whether it's dreaming of being in the next world, or I'm saving Einy and the boys.


Our life right now is truly at its most beautiful peak, after all this time. Our installment has also been paid off, really peaceful life.


Only once in a while, when I felt my heart start to fidget I turned back the application of Surah-surah of the Qur'an. I turned it to calm my heart. And until now I still keep the application and never intend to delete it.
