ADJOINING REALM
GOT USED TO

Five minutes before screaming.

"It's so dark, doesn't anyone live here?" Mumbled Jaka while continuing to look around. He kept watching every place he was passing by, but only darkness was plastered as Jaka peered out of the car window.

"Huh?! Was there someone?" Muttering back, he lowered the window glass and popped his head out, he looked back, where he saw someone standing a second ago.

Strangely it was okay there, Jaka still did not see anything even though he had long been staring in that direction. With great astonishment, Jaka closed his car window again. When the window glass has gone up and closed perfectly, Jaka once again saw someone standing still and just passed by his car. This time it was quite clear, that person was standing right at the edge of the road he was walking on.

Rushing Jaka back down the window continued to pull out his head, he stared at the place he had passed earlier. But he still could not see clearly the back of the car that had been swallowed by the darkness. The only illumination was only the two main lights of the car, until the rear side of the car was completely dark, as if the darkness continued to devour all the places they had just passed.

Jaka just frowned, in his mind he felt astonished why there could be people standing in the middle of the forest these nights. He closed the glass window again but something stuck when the glass was almost closed perfectly.

Jaka watched the thing for quite a while, he was a little confused because there was a pinch of cloth wedged on the window glass. Without thinking long Jaka lowered the window back, and pulled a pinch of cloth without waiting for cue.

A second after Jaka pulled the cloth. A wrapped head was pulled from the top of the car. He grinned at Jaka with a blank look, because his eyes were indeed absent, only eye sockets were left on his face. What Jaka pulled was none other than the shroud that wrapped the head of the pocong that was lying on top of the car, jaka who was surprised because his face was very close to the rotten face of the figure spontaneously shouted so loudly.

Darto who heard Jaka's screams immediately stepped on the brake pedal deeply. When the car stopped, Jaka jumped past the seat that Daro and Harti were wearing, and immediately landed perfectly with a position curled up on the body of Darto who was sitting on the steering chair.

"Come on, Jak!" Shouted Darto trying to calm Jaka down.

Jaka gasped after hearing Darto scream. He gradually let out a long sigh, then said "Astagfirullah... Kang... Someone's on top of our car."

"Huh....!" Darto breathed a long breath. Then open the door of his car and tell Jaka to follow him.

Jaka did not dare at all to get out of the car, but shortly afterwards Darto said "It could have been in the car, Jak"

Hearing Darto's words, Jaka went straight out of the front door following Darto in haste, he really looked pale from seeing a pocong figure for the first time.

"That's what you're afraid of, Jak?" Tanya Darto while pointing a finger at the rotten face of the pocong figure who was standing upright beside the tree. After Darto stopped his car, he jumped up and appeared beside the road, just below a sizable mahogany tree.

"Are you scared of what? Look, his hands are on the rope. What can he be? Bite down?" Ask Darto, laughing a little. He deliberately did not immediately throw the pocong so that Jaka was a little used to, to be able to accept something new in his life.

"Kang!" Shouted Jaka as the pocong tilted its head. He was surprised with just a slight movement the pocong made. Jaka even jumped up to his position hanging like being carried on Darto's back.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Darto was completely shocked after Jaka shouted and jumped into his body. He was immediately stunned because Jaka managed to shock himself until his heart almost dislodged. After a long laugh, Darto again said "I'm even more shocked by your behavior, than the pocong,"

Jaka did not bother Darto, he continued to hang on Darto's back with a trembling body. Looking at the terrified Jaka, Darto rushed to create a single white energy in his hand, then flicked the energy towards the still faithful pocong standing under the mahogany tree. And a second later the pocong was instantly wriggling on the ground, with the body almost completely burned.

Jaka's eyes immediately widened, he did not see how Darto did it. He could not believe what he saw, until he kept rubbing his eyes to confirm the authenticity of the incident before his eyes. But no matter how many times Jaka blinked, he still saw the pocong wriggling on the ground, and finally he tried to ask Darto "Kang.. Why did the pocong burn?"

"It's not just a pocong, Jak. Nought.. Look," Darto spoke while creating 5 glowing marbles over his palm. A second later the five marbles disappeared from their place, and coinciding with that a blaze instantly emerged from five different places. The sound of five screams was also instantly heard. Their voices were so deafening, considering they were shouting in a very quiet place.

"What is that, Kang?" Jaka asked as he continued to circulate his gaze towards the five points where the fire was raging.

"It's not just the pocong that's been following us, Jak. But it seems to be over" replied Darto as he swept his gaze. He scoured every dark corner plastered as far as the eye could see.

"Can Jaka do that too, Kang?" Said Jaka suddenly with a amazed face. He was completely amazed by what Darto had just done.

"There's a time, Jak. Now we continue the journey first" replied Darto as he lowered Jaka from his back. Then embrace Jaka's neck, and walk back to her car.

Two hours passed from the incident, finally Darto managed to unload the dark forest so long. Now he is parking the car beside the road, and trying to rest his eyes a little, because his two eyelids are already really heavy.

Jaka was asleep first. Harti was also the same, he had even returned to sleep when Jaka and Darto were expelling pocongs. Darto who saw Harti and Jaka who were fast asleep, he could only smile, while continuing to look at the faces of the two of them alternately.

In Darto's heart, he felt happy to get a wife who was so beautiful and kind, plus he met Jaka. Darto can not deny, now he feels he has a new responsibility on Jaka. A responsibility commonly owned by someone older, commonly called Big Brother.
