Before 365 Days
56. Old Granny

Mamat, Juned, and Bambang trembled. Their whole body feels very stiff. Sweat had already slid down their sweat.

Ruman drew closer with a grin while carrying three cups at once.

"Come, drink up!" ruman said with a big and hoarse voice like a giant.

"Ti-ti-no! N-no!" mamat's tongue feels mute.

Juned and Bambang could only move his mouth without being able to make a voice so scared of him.

As Ruman got closer, claps blew away Mamat and his friends.

"Woy! Woy! What's wrong with you!" Ruman clapped three times.

Mamat and his friends gasped and reflexes looked back. They were both shocked back when they saw the new Ruman figure, standing behind them.

"Sir Ruman!" exclaimed Juned, this time it could make a sound.

"Where are the fathers?" ask Bambang then turn around again.

"Loh, Mr. Ruman was here," said Bambang again.

The three of them rubbed their eyes. The palpitations in their hearts gradually disappeared.

"What's wrong with you guys! Stand hugging the bag, huddle! Let's sit it all down" Ruman ordered as he placed three brown envelopes on the table.

"Father, real father, Mr. Ruman, right?" mamat asked a little nervously.

"What do you mean, Mat!" tanya Ruman investigated.

"Ah, it's okay, sir!" mamat replied while scratching his head.

Mamat and his friends looked at each other and sat back down.

"Koq tea is still intact, please drink it first," said Ruman began, and drank the tea part.

Juned hesitantly took his cup. Make sure, whether the contents of the tea cup are blood, or regular tea.

With trembling hands, Juned began to look at the contents of the tea. Mamat and Bambang took a peek at the contents of the Juned cup.

Apparently, it is really tea. Juned breathed a sigh of relief. Mamat and Bambang then took their respective cups. When you look at it, it is tea.

But, previous events have made them nauseous and reluctant to drink the tea. Ruman felt something strange about the attitude of his three men.

"What the hell is it! Why do you feel so scared?" tanya Ruman investigated.

Mamat and his two friends looked back at each other. Between being brave and not, they wanted to tell the events they had just experienced.

"Anu, sir! Anu, em ..." said Juned.

"What anu! Just talk to me, maybe I can help you," said Ruman.

"But, we're afraid you're offended!" connect Bambang.

"What do you mean? Try, try to say carefully, I will accept your confession," Ruman said convincingly.

The three of them looked at each other again. Then, Mamat revealed what they had experienced.

"So, before the chancean appeared behind us, there was a figure similar to the father. We talked for quite a while, after that, came Ms. Saras, gave her a drink. When we were about to drink, it turned out the contents of the cup of blood," said Mamat.

Ruman was shocked to hear Mamat's words, to the extent that, his eyes were rounded.

"Really, Sir! Then he forced us to drink the blood. The father's face and the father's voice changed, very creepy!" continue Bambang while shivering in horror.

Ruman stroked his own chin while nodding his head.

"I was, as soon as I entered, straight into the room to pick up your payroll envelopes" Ruman explained.

"That means, the one who accompanied us earlier, wasn't the real father?" ask Mamat.

The three of them instantly felt the creeps again. Their feathers bristled all. Even after being in the elus-elus by their hands, their hair still stands.

"Before we enter the father's house, we also see, the Rose is sweeping on the terrace, sir! But, Mbak Mawar did not open the fence, even though many times we pressed the bell," said Mamat again.

Ruman seemed to listen to the narration of his three men with solemnity.

"There's one more thing, sir! When you got out of the car, I saw an old grandma coming out of your car! Is that Saras' mother, father, or mother?" ask Mamat again.

This time, Ruman, Juned, and Bambang, looked towards Mamat simultaneously.

"Old granny? I don't see it, Mat!" said Juned.

"I don't either" continued Bambang.

"Moreover me, Mat!" lang Ruman's.

"La-la-then, then, who is he? When you didn't see him? Don't lie!" said Mamat with sweat that began to wet his sweat again, his face turned pale.

Bambang and Juned close their bodies to Mamat. They hold hands because they are afraid.

"Sound! It's weird! I admit, since coming home from the swamp, many strange events in my house," explained Ruman.

Susasana tetiba. There was no sound, not even the sound of a wall clock ticking could be heard. A fine wind burst into the room. Ruman and his three men squinted their eyes looking at all corners of the room. Suddenly a woman's voice giggled loudly.

They all nodded until they got up from their seats.

"Astagfirulloh, whose voice it is" Juned said with a trembling voice.

Ruman went with his three men. The woman's giggling voice sounded very clear. From the direction of the kitchen, Saras slowly appeared with the hair he let unravel his face pale, his eyes bulging, his teeth black. It was obvious that Saras was growling like a tiger, revealing his neat teeth. Both of his hands were ready to be guessed.

"Mother, Mom! Conscious, Mom!" ruman shouted to his wife.

The four of them retreated slowly away from the creepy-looking Saras. Saras' face turned into the old grandmother Mamat had seen before.

"Aahahaha! Hihihi!"

"That's, that's, that old granny I saw, sir!" mamat said while pointing at Saras' face.

Ruman. He knew who the old grandmother was standing before him right now.

"I'm back ... I'm back ....!" the voice of the old grandmother repeated over and over.

While from the outside, Ruman's passing neighbors walked past his house, stopping their steps to occasionally observe Ruman's house which looked very dark. In fact, there was a black cloud above Ruman's house.

"What happened at Ruman's house, huh? Koq, it's so crowded there, is there an event? But koq, it's dark, even though many people are active," said one of Ruman's neighbors who was peeking.

"Ah, where there may be an event, no other vehicles are parked here. Except three trucks from when the day is still parked by the side of the road. In the courtyard of Mr. Ruman himself, there was only his car," replied one of Ruman's neighbors.

"Who knows, they're here, on public transport, Wat!" said Neni.

"Ah, no way! But, Nen, I always have goosebumps when passing in front of his house, Mr. Ruman, you also ngrasain right?" ask Wati.

"Yes, same! Moreover, since the return of the Rose, the atmosphere has become somewhat different. What's up, anyway?" connect Neni neighbor Ruman with curiosity.

"We better get out of here, afraid someone will hear! Anyway, you know what happened before?" tanya Wati pulled Neni's hand to get away from Ruman's house and immediately continued their journey.

"What's the big event, Wat?" ask Neni who doesn't understand.

"Oh yeah, when it happened, you weren't here yet. What a terrible event, Nen! I just did not dare to go out for one week after the incident," said Wati shuddered.

"Yes, what happened? Tell dong, don't make me curious," said Neni a little upset because Wati beat around the bush.

"Later, out of the stall, you stop by my house first, I'll tell you everything,"

"Ah, you are this. You know, you say it later, let me not feel curious," replied Neni Manyun.

"Have a minute, koq!" wati replied no less manyun.
