7. KUNTILANAK SHAWL

According to the shaman Uyip a shaman from Kuningan, said. That the kuntilanak is a female ghost who carries a small child and her hair ripples and sounds "pigs" like the sound of chicks.

For Mas Kun, a burly man who lives single. He'll be determined to kill kuntilanak.

Because it is said that if you manage to meet and seize the shawl then with the scarf Mas Kun can disappear.

In the mind of Mas Kun if you managed to get a kuntilanak shawl, it would be delicious. To know whatever the situation. Money will not be lacking.

The problem is kuntilanak when sought like missing is not in effect.

Once Mas Kun heard that in the complex of Keramat Ki Gede Sebayu Tomb in Danawarih Village, Tegal, there was a sighting of kuntilanak.

To put it bluntly Mas Kun almost desperately thought of kuntilanak. Does this creature really exist or is it just a fairy tale, he thought.

Therefore, Mas Kun immediately sought out his teacher Ustadz Ariefin.

"The kuntilanak exists. He's a genie. What form does it look like. How appearance. Frankly, I can't explain.

Because the name of the subtle creature its shape is easily changed. It is not uncommon to follow our mind..!" Ustadz Ariefin.

Because the shape is very flexible. So that Ariefin did not dare to explain the shape.

"For example, I said the shape of a beautiful woman like Maya Estianty.eh turned out she changed her form to look like Tessy Srimulat kan berabe. He thought I was lying.and a liar..!" The Ustadz Ariefin.

"Is the kuntilanak shawl really powerful...Sir.!?" Ask Mas Kun.

"What do you ask the shawl for?" Ariefin answered back.

"Say if you have that shawl. We can't look..!!!" Mas Kun.

"Well, if you don't look like what..!?" Ask Ariefin.

"He-eh.for anu...Sir..!" Said Mas Kun stammered.

"Well.well.I understand. People hunt down that shawl because it will be used for evil deeds. Stealing and doing other bad things. Including sampean yes Mas Kun..!?" Afiefin.

Asked like that Mas Kun died a flea. Can't answer. Can't say anything.

"Remember Mas Kun's sin..!" Arief.

"People nguber and looking for kuntilanak shawl if not for evil deeds then for what !?" Said Ariefin at that time to his beloved disciple Mas Kun.

"There must be some evil intent. Otherwise it is not possible to find and have it, therefore Mas Kun has forgotten about the shawl there are still many more productive works..!" Ariefin at that time.

Mas Kun mangosteen. It seems to be just a mangosteen. In fact, he still nguber kuntilanak to be taken his shawl.

Puntilanak until the sacred tomb of Ki Gede Sebayu in Danawarih Village Balapulang Subdistrict.

"However I must get the shawl. Whatever I'm going to face..!" So said Mas Kun in heart.

So once heard there was a sighting of kuntilanak around the sacred tomb of Ki Gede Sebayu Mas Kun immediately glided there.

He left Wednesday. Wednesday Pon, Thursday Wage Malannya Friday Kliwon.

Supernatural beings would usually appear in those days.

Mas Kun took time for three days as well as nyepi and tirakat in the sacred tomb.

The sacred tomb is located next to the Gung River which empties into the city of Tegal.

The water is flowing and clear. Across the West the forest river mingled with the settlement. Next to the ground is a rice field.

The East and South forests. The atmosphere was calm as it was located a bit away from the settlement. It is also far from the village road.

To get here, you have to use your own vehicle. Because there is no transport. The shop is quite far from here. So it really is the ideal place for tirakat.

The news of the kuntilanak sighting was obtained by Mas Kun from his best friend, Udin Boneng. Udin Boneng was a tomb explorer.

Every day Udin Boneng sleeps from one sacred tomb to another.

According to Udin Boneng, kuntilanak appeared in the forest to the west of the Tomb. But the name of such a creature can appear anytime and anywhere.

"It's only so that Mr. Kun can meet ya there on Friday Kliwon..!' Udin Boneng told Mas Kun.

Not only does it have to be Friday night Kliwon. But the creature will appear at night during the full moon but drizzle small. That was kuntilanak's favorite time.

Therefore Mas Kun had prepared a jacket. Raincoat. Gloves and not forgetting to wear a mask. Understandably currently the Corona pandemic must therefore be careful and vigilant.

Mas Kun also remained fasting. More jos, he thought. And not to forget Mas Kun also prayed. Hopefully Friday night drizzle.

Fortunately this Friday night is exactly the 14th of the Javanese calendar. Usually on these dates the moon will appear perfectly.

"Hopefully it's raining tonight. Definitely perfect...!" Thought Mas Kun.

This time Mas Kun was alone. His determination is already round.

"I must get that shawl..!" He said in his heart sholawatan.

Meanwhile, Mas Kun is currently having a crush on a widow who is a journalist seller. If he approaches and proposes to her but has nothing he worries about being rejected.

That's why he must get the shawl will later be used to take the property of the corruptors.

"By taking the property of the corruptors and then desecrated.may be a reward.

But Allah is All-Knowing, All-Compassionate and Merciful will surely forgive my sins..!" Mas Kun said inwardly justifying his intention.

Perhaps even, he said again, his teacher Ustadz Ariefin would be able to understand his actions. Therefore, the spirit of Mas Kun is getting bigger.

With the spirit of 45 Mas Kun wear a jacket. Bring a backpack with rainwear. Do not forget to wear a mask and gloves. Who knows if the kuntilanak has been hit by Corona.

"Bismillah...!" Guman Mas Kun set out across the village bridge to the west of the river.

"Hopefully it works...!" He said in his heart. Night shows at 23:00 WIB. The night was silent. There are hardly any people.

Especially the road to the forest. Kun Mas felt more comfortable. Because there are no humans. It means no one is going to break it.

The moon though the 14th but its rays are not bright because of thin cloudiness.

But Mas Kun does not need a flashlight. Because the light is enough. After all, he has an Android HP that can be used as a flashlight.

Up to the West of the river, Mas Kun was sneaking around looking for a seat. Look for the most shady tree so that if drizzle down can be for shade.

Coincidentally there is a mango tree pakel is quite large and shady tree. I don't know how many years this tree is. It clearly looks old.

"That's right here...!" Mas Kun said to himself.

To drive away the cold Mas Kun smokes his favorite cigarettes. While smoking his eyes watch around.

Frankly for the city people especially the money. Must be lazy to do this kind of thing. Nightly. Chilly. In forest. Alone again. Loaned as money as fast as ogah. Especially not be loved. What anyway? Just less work.

Not so with Kun. He was the son of the only chicken man in the Tegal Morning Market. His parents' lives were quite prosperous. Mas Kun also lived a good life. Not in the village, but in a very crowded city.

But somehow at this time there is not a hint of his parents' inheritance. Even Mas Kun himself lived in a rented house. In the village to rent a cheap house.

This kind of condition makes Mas Kun determined to get a kuntilanak shawl.

"Crosper.cock..!!!" Mas Kun Bunku's Daydream. His eyes looked towards that startling voice. Ohw turned out to be just the sound of a mutt searching for prey.

"Hmmm..patience.patience..!!" Gumam Mas Kun's.

His eyes are trying to move south. Ohw there looks like a shadow floating in the air.

Mas Kun rose up to a fairly large tree. The shadow was in this direction. The landu alas.

Mas Kun's eyes immediately pierced the old tree. Ohw it turns out that the shadow that was floating was just a kalong, a bat-like animal that was quite large.

The time is 24:00. It's midnight. But kuntilanak hasn't shown up yet.

"Indeed kuntilanak has not appeared. But I have to be excited. Can't despair or give up...!" Mas Kun said pumping his spirit.

This time there was another white shadow. Float quickly through the leaves. And that long white shadow was lost in the bamboo horde.

Mas Kun could not confirm whether it was kuntilanak or not. But still Mas Kun came to the bamboo horde.

After careful inspection. Mas Kun found nothing. Except for the sound of the forest rats who ran away in shock frightened because there were humans.

While in the southwest corner in the swarm of shrubs like there was a flame. But Mas Kun was not interested.

Mas Kun was very careful. He did not want to be trapped due to his carelessness.

The flame may be a fire or banaspati. A supernatural being that can turn into a flame.

Banaspati is more and more dangerous. Therefore Mas Kun did not want to look at the flame.

"Ah justin..which is clear it is not kuntilanak..!" Mas Kun said to himself.

Time continues to crawl. Not felt at dawn. At 04.00 WIB.

"It is not possible kuntilanak kuntilanak appeared at dawn. I'd better finish it ah...!" Back Mas Kun said to himself.

And his feet kept stepping out of the forest to return to the sacred tomb. Coincidentally there is a small mosque that is intended for people who mukim or tirakat in that place.

Mas Kun bebersih get ready to perform dawn prayers.

"It's not a failure but it just hasn't worked..!" Mas Kun tried to entertain himself.
