Anta's Diary
S2 - Unwanted Capability
That afternoon, the King played to Robi's house with Anji. They will do the masterpiece task of making a ship of wood. Robi's father helped the three children to find wood and make patterns for the ship.
"Here, Nyak bawain fried cassava same sweet tea," said Robi's mother approached the King and others in the backyard of the house.
"Thank you, Auntie," said Anji and the King together.
"Don't call, Auntie, call me Nyak."
The woman then stepped into the kitchen. He stopped his steps and pressed the stomach that was painful. However, Nyak Ijah tried to hide his pain by turning his back on Robi and others.
"Bang, so go to the hospital, right?" nyak Ijah asked her husband.
"So, it's a little later" replied Murtado.
The king had seen in the kitchen window and was immediately surprised when he found no reflection of his mother Robi's shadow on the window.
"I must have seen it wrong" muttered the King.
"Ja, why are you?" ask Robi.
"It's okay, Bi."
Robi's father stood up.
"No, just painted, yeah. Babe wants to take your Nyak to the doctor" said the father.
"What's the pain, Beh?" ask Robi.
"It's just stomach pain. Later if you have been spun and you leave njai, the door of the house is locked, yes. Babe was afraid to go home the night in the hospital," said the man with a thick mustache.
"Yes, Beh."
The king looked at Robi and his father in turn. His mind was raging at the time. However, he tried to keep a positive mind and hopefully his vision was wrong.
The task of the King with Robi and Anji was finally completed.
"Take this ship carefully, yeah."
Anji reminded Robi of that time.
"Yes, just calm down."
Anji said goodbye because the driver who was driving the black sedan was waiting. Meanwhile, the King still looks hesitant to go home.
"Bi, you better call your brother" said the King.
"What's the matter, Ja?"
"Your mother is sick again, you better stay here to take care of your mother, rather than regret."
"Repent how? My sister will go with her husband to Surabaya."
"Hmmm, you better take care of your mother" said the King.
"Ah, what the hell are you talking about, go home! I want to pay you a salary," said Robi.
The king nodded and then panted. He rode his bike home hoping that his vision was wrong.

That afternoon at the mini market, King was seen lazily chewing instant noodles in a carton cup packaging that he ate.
"Woi, just go!" Anta patted the King's head startling him.
"I just saw that Robi wasn't in the mirror. Now it looks like Robi is going to the same hospital as Babenya Robi" said Raja.
"The rabbit just said stomach ache, sister. But ... I'm afraid my vision is ...."
"Udahlah, we just wish Robi's mother well and your vision is wrong" said Anta.
The girl then stood up.
"Where are you going, brother?" ask King.
"You add, Brother Anta less if pop one noodle, hehehe." The girl stepped into the mini market to order noodles again.
"Basstomach sack!" exclaim King.
Anta accidentally hit a young man who was choosing a drink in front of the refrigerator.
"Sorry yes, Anta accidentally, want to take aqua," said the girl.
"Hmmm...."
The tall young man with a well-built body with flaky hair and using glasses just stared at Anta flatly and then switched back to choosing a cold drink in front of him. As the young man closed the glass door of the refrigerator, Anta saw the shadowy figure that was behind the young man's body.
The girl looked at the glass vending machine in the Prosperous Mini Market. The figure was black like a burnt victim. The two eyes of the figure looked red as they stared towards Anta. The look of the charred ghost jerked the girl's body until she took a few steps back.
"Elo why?" ask the young man.
"Anta, Anta saw ada–"
"Don't be dumb, kesambet luh, ntar!"
The young man's phone then rang, sounding as he lifted it in panic.
"What, Ma? Okay, I'll be back in a minute."
The young man went straight to the cashier and paid for the drink he had bought. He also bought a pack of menthol-flavored mild cigarettes.
Anta tried to look back at the refrigerator glass, but the figure was not even found.
"Lho, if there's a ghost here, where's that charred ghost, huh?" anta gumam.
