BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 138: A GHOST STOPOVER

    Surely Podin was curious when he saw the ghost of a woman perched on the branch of a large tree, who wore a white dress like a ghost called by the people as kuntilanak. Podin who has heard many stories about the story of the villa he bought, which is said to have been used as a place for female murders. Surely Podin wanted to know the relationship between the woman who was killed in the villa, with the ghost that frightened him, who always hung above his head, moving from branch to branch, moving from branch to branch, and even perched on very tall trees, without the slightest fear. Yes, the name is also a ghost, although the fall will not reach the ground and will not be in pain or injuries.

    For other residents, maybe just heard the word ghost has cut the feathers. Especially until you see a ghost, you will faint. But for Podin, who was used to spirits and ghosts, of course, if only feared by such female ghosts, there was no fear at all. In fact, it actually makes Podin so curious to know the ghost is closer.

    Yes, that night, Podin actually intends to catch a female ghost in a white dress that leaps from branch to branch. Surely Podin wants to know, who exactly is the female ghost? why did he become a ghost? and why scare people?

    Podin also carried perfumed oil that had been applied to the putuih cloth, which he used to clean his sacred coffins. Surely Podin wants to know, where does the ghost live? Is it in the cemetery? On trees? Or be in other sacred things. So that night Podin continued to pursue the ghost of a woman who flirted with him.

    "Hi .., beautiful woman .... Get down, you ...!!" odin shouted as he opened the sheet of white cloth that had been poured with perfume, as wide as a handkerchief, which he would use to catch the ghost.

    "Kqiiqiqiqik ..." the woman laughed mockingly at Podin. He was still perched on a branch about ten meters from the head of Podin.

    "Hey ...!! Get down, you ...!!" podin snapped again at the woman. It must be a ghost of a child.

    "Wuzzzz .... Siuutt ......"

    Suddenly, the child's tail had slid from the top of the tree, descended quickly, and of course went straight towards Podin. Almost hit Podin. Podin. He avoided the impact of the ghost. And the ghost of the woman in the white dress that was soaked was already right in front of Podin. Even the ghost was very close and almost stuck to Podin.

    Podin, who had evaded for fear of being hit by the ghost, re-established his body, because it turned out that the ghost did not hit his body, the ghost just floated in front of Podin. Not even his feet hit the ground. Yes, the ghost just floated on the ground.

    "Kiqiiqiqiqik ...." The ghost of the wandering child laughs in front of Podin, which will certainly frighten Podin.

    "Semilah ..., please ..., please ...." Podin komat-kamit spell reading. I don't know what words were said, but it was clear he wanted to conquer the ghost.

    "Kqiiqiqiqik ..." the child laughed again. Surely the woman was laughing at Podin who had been trying to pursue it.

    But Podin who was ready to bring a white cloth wet with nyong-nyong oil, his hands immediately spread the white cloth, and right hit the face of the ghost that floated in front of him. Unexpectedly, the scary ghost turned out after being hit by a shroud that had been covered with fragrant oil that smelled like piercing the nose was immediately become a creature in the presence of Podin. the woman in the white dress was seduced into conformity with Podin. The child's tail became a weakly gurgling ghost. The ghost no longer flew soaring to and fro, no longer leaping to the branches on a large tall tree, but instead seemed to be a quiet woman, weak and obedient in front of Podin.

    "Hey .., unlucky woman .... Show ..., where you are .... I'll help you." said Podin to the ghost, and of course Podin intends to find a place that's been visited by the ghost of the woman in the white dress, and of course the place where the ghost will be taken by Podin.

    Without laughing any more, without scaring any more, without even uttering any words, without a sound, without answering to Podin who questioned him, the ghost had already turned its body, as if walking, but not stepping on the ground, just floating on the ground, slowly heading towards the back of the villa building which is now occupied by Podin.

    Podin follows a female ghost in a white dress with a stupor, as well as the long unraveling hair that covers her back, certainly with misgivings. Podin must have thought that the woman would show him where she was, where she had been, where the ghost actually lived. Podin patiently followed. But be careful, because despite living in the villa for a few days, Podin has never been around to the back of the villa.

    And of course because it was night, it was dark, there were no lights. It was certainly the fault of Podin himself who did not give the lighting. Enjoy the ghost, which just floated away, not worried if it hums wood or stone. Not even worried about a lot of bushes and thorns. But for Podin, it would have been all about him. He had to stumble over various things. Even pierced by thorns that grew wild behind his village. Yeah, but it's all he doesn't mind. The important thing is that Podin can find a place to stop the spirit of the woman who is wandering.

    The female ghost in the white-clothed dress, who was walking floating in front of her, suddenly stopped. Quite far from the village building. About twenty-five meters. Right under the largest tree in the garden that surrounds the villa. Podin is sure, surely the place to stay**** the child is there. Podin was also sure, in a moment he would find a place to stop the ghost. And of course, Podin will take the object or goods that are used as a place to stop the female spirit.

    The woman turned her body. Looking at Podin who was following behind him. Stay still and not come out a word. When laughing scared people. But his face looked sad. Something must have made the woman sad.

    Then the spirit of the woman pointed her hand down. Yes, pointing towards the direction near the tree where he stopped. Surely Podin understood the spirit's intent. The woman must have shown her place. Well, where the spirit lives.

    Podin approached, heading in the direction the ghost was pointing at. Podin headed down the large tree that the ghost had pointed at. Then Podin crouched down, wanting to know the place shown it.

    However, due to the dark conditions, Podin's eyes could not see clearly. Cannot observe clearly. Honey, he didn't have a flashlight. So Podin was only able to feel with his hands, only able to guess, what was in that place.

    Podin could only feel that under the big tree, there was a stone lying there. But Podin's hand was unable to dismantle the stone. Yes, Podin sure, this stone must be shown by the ghost of the heaven. Podin was sure, this is the stopping place of the spirit.

    After believing what was found, Podin wanted to know the truth, which of course he wanted to ask the woman who had led him in that place. But when he raised his head, the ghost in white dress was no longer there. The ghost that he thought was the child's bundle had already vanished. Lost without a trace.

    Podin took a deep breath. A sign of wanting to unwind. Of course, also relieved, had found a place where the spirit shown by the ghost. But the night was too dark, it was impossible for Podin to dismantle the stone under the tree. So Podin decided, will dismantle it tomorrow when the day is bright.

    Podin re-entered his village, full of question marks. What place did the spirit of the woman show? What's up there? Could that be where he was buried by the bad guys? So what does this have to do with the villa?
