TUMBAL SEVENTH

TUMBAL SEVENTH
Mysterious Cry



I blinked and opened my eyes slowly as I heard someone yelling my name over and over again a gentle pat on the cheek accompanying me. Slowly my originally blurry eyes grew brighter. I could see white ceilings and green curtains all around.


“Thank God, you've come to your senses, Ran!” I observed the owner of the voice. There's only Bayu on my right.


“Bay, where are we?”


“We're in the hospital, Ran.”


My forehead wiggled at what Bayu was saying. “What happened?”


“You remember the same wind that ravaged the area of Mbah Barjio?” house


I forced my brain to review what happened that night. Last time I felt this head hit something really hard. After that it all went dark. Kuraba's head is now wrapped in gauze. There's a definite pain this is due to that impact. “Yes, I remember Bay. Then, Tirta, Mela same Mang Ule where, Bay?”


“Please yourself, Ran!” bayu said while rubbing my shoulder, “Mang Ule is still being treated, because his body was injured due to being carried away by the force. Mela until now has not been aware as well, Ran ..”


“APA?!” in shock.


“Padahat said the doctor was not sick. All his internal organs are also in good condition,” continued Bayu.


“How long have we been in this hospital, Bay?”


“It's been two days two nights.”


“Hah?!” I screamed in disbelief.


“Iya, Ran. It's been that long. That night I myself was still in a conscious state, yes, even though my body was abrasive as well. I kept seeing Tirta, she also fainted, but not long after she realized.” Bayu stopped the conversation for a moment to catch his breath.


“Then we both looked for you, Mela and Mang Ule. At first I and Tirta found Mang Ule who was moaning in pain. Thank goodness, your driver can still get up and walk despite being shocked.” Bayu stopped the story for a moment to take a breath. I was still excited to wait for our story that night.


“The three of us continue looking for you and Mela. You were found in close proximity in a fainting state, and unconscious. We're very worried because the bleeding in your head doesn't stop. Finally Tirta bopong you, and I bopong Mela. We rush to where the car is parked. Finally we arrived at this hospital and you guys got treatment,” continued Bayu.


“Continue, now where is Tirta?”


Bayu looked down lethargic not directly answering my question.


“Tirta moody keeps from yesterday, Ran.”


“Hah, why?”


“Yesterday Tirta asked what happened to him and his family. I keep telling you everything. After that he so often dumbfounded, Ran.”


“Part of why you told him, anyway, Bay. Should be waiting for his mental state to recover first.”


“So she's done, Ran.”


“Set where is he now? Search keep bringing me here!” my door.


“OK. Wait, yes!” Bayu stood up and turned his body ready to go, but snuffed. He turned back towards me.


“Oh, yes, Ran, yesterday Your Father and Mama phone ...”


“Keep telling me everything that happened to me?” as fast. Bayu nodded faintly. “Duh, Bay, you shouldn't tell. If gini sure Dad and my Mama will follow here.”


“Yes, how are you ... Your father and mother were very worried and forced me to tell the truth. They said today sliding here,” bright Bayu. I can only take a long breath. I can be sure you're forcing me to come home later.


“Ya, already, there find Tirta!” Bayu gasped from the daydream and rushed to find Tirta.


My forehead frowned as these ears caught the heartbreaking sound of crying. I tried to wake up though it sucked. Sitting on the edge of the sickle bed and sharpening hearing. The sound of crying was still there, but it was faint.


Curiosity increasingly stirred the heart. I slowly got down from the bed. Kuraih the buffer pole infused and pushed it. I opened the room divider curtain, but there was no one behind it. Blank. The crying voice disappeared.


My eyes glanced left and right as the tail of my eyes caught a black shadow streaking behind me. The curtains swayed as if in the wind, but there was no wind blowing before. The fan in this room is also not on.


“Who's there?” No one knows my question. Silent.


My eyes were round when I felt someone pat this shoulder.


“Ran,” ogre the owner of the hand. I'm still silent. “Hey, why you?” continued the owner of the hand while maneuvering in front of me. I breathed a sigh of relief that it was not a ghost.


“Ta, are you here?”


“Yes, I'm already here. What are you doing here?” ask then, “shouldn't move much first. Come on, back to bed again, gih!” continued. I nodded as Tirta rolled me back into bed.


“Oh, yes, Bayu where?”


“She saw the condition of Mela and Mang Ule,”.


The next second Tirta sat on the chair that was on the side of the bed. “Rest!” tell him, “or do you need something?” tanyanya.


“Oh, okay, briefly, yes. I'll get your food at Sister.”'s I nodded, Tirta immediately rushed outside the room to fetch some food.


When I was alone, that heartbreaking cry was heard again. I tried a fool's time, but the crying became more and more. Curiosity is getting stronger. “Who are you really?” I asked while giving a glance. There was no answer, but the sound of crying became more and more.


“What do you want?” ask me while glancing to the left and right.


“Please sayaah!” It was like someone was whispering in a very close distance, but there was no form of it. Voice only.


My eyes were fixed on the door knobs that were brutally circling. My heart is beating fast waiting for who the opener is. I hope it's not a ghost.


I closed my eyes when the door opened. I heard footsteps approaching. Slowly I opened my eyes. Huf, it turned out that Tirta had come with a tray filled with my food and drinks.


“Ran, why are you? How scared is that?” tanyanya.


“After you open the door brutal,” ketusku.


Tirta chuckled while putting the tray on the small table beside the bed. “Old doors like to be jammed hard to open,”.


“Oh.”


“Yes, already, yuk, eat. I bribe,” he said gently. My heart was racing as Tirta thrust a spoonful of rice complete with vegetables into the front of this mouth. Suddenly nervous. Especially when our eyes are clashing like now.


Slowly Tirta pulled back the hand that was ready to bribe me. The next second he lowered his head in lethargy and let out a long sigh. “You ... can eat by yourself, right?”


I fell silent not understanding why Tirta suddenly turned moody. He put the plate next to me. A moment later he got up from sitting and swung a step away.


“Ta, you why?”


Tirta stopped his steps. “Sorry, yes, because of me .. you all are so hard and have to suffer a disaster,” said raucous. Then continue the steps to leave me. Not paying attention to my call.


I'm drowning. Then pull over intending to catch up with Tirta. However, it was snuffed out when I saw the door knob being moved by someone from outside.


“Tir ... ta ...” I think Tirta's back. It turns out he's not the one who came. Except Dad and Mama were immediately excited to check my condition. Then Mama bribed me forcing me to eat a little something.


“Oh, yes, how are Mela and Mang Ule?” conditions ask Dad.


“Eum, they are still being treated in another room, Well.”


“How's the story, anyway, until you guys can be like this?” This time it was Mama who asked while scooping rice for me.


“The story is long, Ma, Dad. I'll tell you later,” I replied. A moment later I shook my head in denial as Mama thrust a spoonful of rice in front of her mouth.


“One more bribe!” force Mama. I refused with a sack.


“Already, Ma, I'm full,” my whine. Mama took a deep breath and placed the plate on the bedside table.


“Ya, already, it's taking the medicine!” tell Mama then while preparing the medicine for me.


“Yeah, Ma, I want to find me first, yes!” I asked after I finished taking the medicine.


Dad's forehead frowned. “Temen? Temen ... who?”


“Tirta, Yeah.”


“Come on, Ran, don't be weird! Your own body condition is still weak. Already, rest!” firmly Dad.


“But, Yeah ..”


“No buts! Break!” dad's toilet. I glanced at Mama asking for a defense, but Mama also similarly forbade me with a small slit.


“Dengerin what your Dad said!” mama said then while holding my hand.


Same mom mom is so. Since Tania's departure, the two of them have become very overprotective of me. I know it all because they're afraid of losing me.


But what about Tirta? Where'd he go? I'm very worried about his situation. Surely now he needed someone to strengthen and calm his anxiety.


Tirta must have blamed herself for what happened to me, Mela and Mang Ule.


“Argh!” my groan when I felt my head was so dizzy and my eyes twitched.


“Nak, you why?” ask Dad while holding both sides of this shoulder.


“Pusing, Yeah.”


“Each him rest! Don't mind much!” firmly Dad. I followed when Dad told me to lie down. I heard Dad asked Mama to take care of me. He rushed to call the doctor.
