BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 18: GHOST WITHOUT A HEAD

    Although the police and the public have not found the missing body parts, Eko's body was eventually buried.  Yes, the rame-rame people buried Eko's body in the graveyard belonging to a housing developer. The cemetery complex is neatly arranged, because to bury people there, must pay a high cost.

    But of course one thing that becomes a question for everyone who buried and those who served the victims of the Eko accident, they ask about body parts, they ask about body parts, that is the head of Eko who until that day has not been found. Usually if the burial of the corpse is incomplete, things will happen that are not desirable.

    But of course medically, if Eko's body is too long held or not immediately buried, it will rot and feared will cause the spread of the virus. So within three days of being put in the crate, the corpse should be buried immediately. But since the head of Eko's body was not found, Eko's headless body was immediately buried. Of course with the consent of the family.

    Of course, the death of Eko who was crushed by a truck and lost his head, has become a talking point for the people around the school, and of course also be the talk of people who are in the housing where Podin lives. Of course the unfortunate fate experienced by Eko, the first boy of Podin was a very tragic fate. Where when Eko who was crossing the road in front of his school, he wanted to get into the school, suddenly there was a truck that drove very fast and directly hit the body of Eko. The most terrible thing was when the body of Eko who was found had been sprawled lifeless, it turned out his head was missing, his neck was cut off. The one lying in front of the school gate was just a body that had no head.

    "Please ......!!!  Help ......!!! Help ......!!!" a teenager screamed for help as he passed in front of the school.

    Of course, the sound of a loud shout was immediately heard by the neighbors and people close to the place. People immediately ran towards the voice of the teenager who asked for help.

    "What's up ...?!"

    "Why ...?!"

    "Why ...?!"

    The people who arrived immediately questioned the screaming teenager.

    "There are ghosts ..." replied the teenager who was still frightened, and of course immediately held tightly the hand of the person in front of him.

    "What ghost ...?" ask the people, which of course they become curious and also immediately stand up the fur on its back. Start to get scared.

    "There's a ghost .., a headless child walking in front of the school." replied the frightened teenager.

    "What is it ...?!" ask the others.

    "Something scary .... The child is like a child, a school child .... But there is no visible head .... Yes .., the ghost has no head .... Serem ..." replied the teenager, who grew increasingly fearful as he recalled what he had seen.

    "Wadm .... This must be .... Yes, the boy .... The schoolboy who got hit by the truck yesterday was .... Yes, the boy had his head missing and had not met until now .." said one of the residents who also helped yesterday.

    "Walah .., means the boy is looking for his head .... Hihiiii ..." said the others, of course immediately frightened.

    "I'm afraid ..." Of course the children are frightened.

    The story of teenagers who supposedly saw the ghost of a headless child, it was immediately spread from mouth to mouth.

    But now, after Eko has been buried, the story becomes different when the people in the school, his school friends, and also his teachers, not only did they gossip about Eko's death being crushed by the truck and missing his head, but they also gossiped that every night in front of the school there was a scary ghost, a ghost without a head.

    Of course this story directly spread to various regions. Not only spread in the school environment, not only in the village around the school, but this story also becomes something scary for the community who live in the area around the school. Especially women, mothers who are always afraid of the name of ghosts. Yes, the ghost has certainly become a terror for the people around the school. Especially for small children. They were finally afraid to leave the house. That said, this ghost is a ghost from the body of Eko who seeks his head. This ghost wanders every night looking for his lost head.

    Of course people are frightened, because later that ghost will meet him and take his head in exchange for being returned to his body. And of course the children are the most afraid. Especially the SD children who became friends Eko. They were afraid that he would be taken by the head. Because this headless ghost is said to be searching for his missing head.

    The story of the ghost of the headless corpse was finally reached to the ears of Podin and his wife and other children. The people who say that his son Podin, Eko, who died was hit by the truck, now he has become a ghost, a ghost with a headless corpse. The undead, which is just a body, has no head, which flutters around. A scary ghost for both children and adults. Because the story is spread, he said this headless ghost will ask the head to anyone who is encountered, in exchange for his lost head. Surely the rumors of the ghost of Eko, who was looking for his head were greatly feared by the people.

    Hearing that story, of course, Podin became restless. Even podin was agitated. Because of his son, the fate of his tragic son, who was hit by a truck and died, is now being gossiped by many people. It is not a good talk, but his buried son was actually talked by everyone, if Eko is now said to have become a ghost. A ghost with no head.

    Yes, of course the words of ghosts, the words of his son became a headless ghost that he said blocked everyone who passed in front of the school, even chasing children, he said, who he said would ask his head to be put back on his body, was already very defamatory. Podin became embarrassed by the talk of such people. Moreover, Isti, as Eko's mother, who most often heard gossip from mothers while shopping, who said that his son was considered a spooky ghost, a very scary ghost, which was very scary, of course a woman whose feelings are more sensitive, her heart is softer, then when she heard that her son had become a ghost of a headless corpse, Isti must have cried immediately. He was very sad to mourn the fate of his poor son, and now even more unfortunate, because his son had become a ghost.

    "He ..., don't get near the Goddess ...! Later if his brother comes, he'll take our heads .... Beware ..., don't get close ...!" said one of the students of the fourth grade of SD, who used to be one class with Eko.

    "Yes .... Don't come near the Goddess .... Later can be chased by a ghost without a head ...!"

    "Hc .... I'm scared ...."

    Every child starts to avoid. Taku is close to the Goddess. Of course this makes the heart of the Goddess sad. The heart of the Goddess became struck, and was extremely painful. At school, she was always crying. Many times his teacher invited the Goddess, certainly to calm down so that the Goddess could be steadfast, able to accept reality. And the teachers also forbade his students from talking about the headless corpse ghost.

    But the name of the Goddess was a little girl, she did not know anything, could not reason, could not think long, so what she did, he did, all she could do was cry and cry.

    "Sir ..., Buk .... I am not in school .... I am sad and cry if at school friends Dewi always ask questions, he said Mas Eko is now a ghost .... Is that true, Mr ...? Is that right, Ms ...?" said the Goddess who groaned when they were in the five houses at the place to eat. There was his mother, there was his father, and two younger siblings, when they enjoyed dinner.

    "Bec .... It's just lies .... Don't listen to it .... No need to be taken care of .... Let them tell stories .... There are people who have died, and have been buried, even the grave has also been plastered. can come out to be a ghost .... That doesn't make sense .... The name of the ghost is Satan .... He was just trying to scare people. If the demon-covered man is frightened, the demon will laugh. Satan is happy .... He was satisfied, because of the dreaded run of the ridge, some even fainted from fear .... Yes, so it is .... So the Goddess is not to be afraid .... If you need to explain to your friend ..." so said his father, who certainly gave understanding and understanding to the Goddess yes it is undeniable, whose name is a small child, who is, if there is anything it is just crying and complaining.

    But this time, for the Goddess, the conditions were very different. Because the school goddess is in the same place as her sister. And Eko, his older brother, had already died from being crushed by the truck. And at that moment, Eko's head was indeed lost. Eko's head was not found at the scene. So that the corpse of Eko who has been buried is only his body. Well, when his friends tell him, of course his friends also know that the stories are spoken by his parents, spoken by his neighbors, spoken by people around the school, and the, even he said there were people who saw the ghost of the headless corpse that was pacing in front of the school, then of course his friends also believe, because the place happened in front of the school. And of course, the students at the school almost all saw and knew the prasis. As the school's surroundings spread, news spread about Eko's death, and each night appeared to be a terrifying ghost figure, a ghostly figure of a headless corpse, of course it becomes the talk of every child whose average stay is around the school.

    Of course, Dewi as a sister who still has not lost her trauma, who is still sad, still grieving, and when listening to her friends talk about her brother it is undeniable that she immediately cried and grieved.

    "Yes, Goddess .... Where there are people who have died who become ghosts .... That's the talk of people who just scare their children, so that their children do not go away .... So that his son does not dolan continue .... So that his son does not leave the house at night. That's why parents scare their children. Never mind, you take it easy .... Don't worry, don't be sad .... What matters is that our lives are peaceful and comfortable. In fact, we who are here also never anything, right ..." so said Podin gave an explanation to his son.

    "But, Mr. .., he said there was already a look and it was really mas Eko .... He still wears a red and white uniform .... But Mas Eko it has no head .... He said the way to and fro, he said pacing in front of the school. Well, said the people again, Mas Eko was looking for his missing head .... I'm afraid, Mr. ..." the story of the Goddess who certainly heard from the stories of her friends at school.

    "Rubber, Sir .... I am also very sad, I am not sound, I am not comfortable, I am ashamed, Mr.... Our neighbors on the sneer, the neighbors there are talking about our children, sir, which he says our son became a ghost of a headless corpse .... How is this, Mr ...? Why did this happen to our son, sir .... Huhukhukhu ..." said his wife who was certainly very under pressure, and could not stem her tears to be shed through crying. He suffered, when he had to lose his son who was tragically hit, and now people are gossiping that his son has become a ghost of a headless corpse. Of course Isti wants to know the truth, Wife wants to understand how the fate of her son in the grave?

    "Patiently, Ma'am.

    Indeed, if it is disputed from the accident, the police should be able to establish the truth. Who was wrong, who really hit his son? Because apparently, until his son was buried, police have not found the truck that hit his son. Even the police do not know the characteristics of the truck itself. Although many residents have given the characteristics of the truck that hit Eko, but it has been searched everywhere, even been communicated with various police offices, and even, the truck that hit his son was not found. Of course it becomes a big PR that must be resolved by the Police. Surely Isti and Podin have asked the police to look for the truck that hit his son. At least he wants the truck driver to be responsible for the death of his favorite son.

    Indeed, it is certainly very difficult to find a vehicle or truck that hit Eko. Because of that truck, which was speeding so fast, there were even those who said the speed of the truck was like the wind. Of course, it is very difficult to observe the characteristics of the truck. Even if someone sees, surely only know the characteristics at a glance. And what is conveyed by the residents who are said to be eyewitnesses, they are only able to give general images, starting from the color of the front, and the color of the front, the color of the truck and the pictures on the truck. But no one knows the license plate number as well as other special features. Police, who arrived at the scene, also said there were no signs of old tires or braking marks. And even the strange thing about the accident, there were no signs of the child being hit was bounced. So it was as if the child who had an accident was put to sleep and was beheaded and immediately his head was taken away by the truck that decapitated him. But of course this absurd will not be a report in the police. So, reports have been of an accident of a schoolboy who was crushed by a truck.

    The police are looking everywhere. Even the police have conveyed to various regions to help. But in fact the police who have been trying to search the various areas never knew there was a truck with the characteristics of the front of his head pictured a snake dancer woman, with her tub with tongues of fire, with a picture of the fire, and the back of it is a picture of human skulls. It was indeed very difficult to find the truck that had just crashed and crushed the schoolboy. For days, the police did not find the truck. It could have had the truck, or the driver who crashed, directly painted the truck again, just to paint the head, and of course also eliminate all the pictures on the truck. So that the truck will no longer be known characteristics when it hit. Because the look has changed.

    Actually, when Podin watched his son who was hit by a truck until his head was lost, he remembered the night before his son had an accident, the event that occurred on the island of Berhala. That time, when he was about to take the treasure chest, Podin was told to wash his hands, he said as a condition, which turned out when his hands were put into a basin filled with water and flowers, he said, the water in the ascom was turned into blood. Podin's hand was covered in blood. Podin began to think, is it a sign that his biggest son will have an accident and his blood spewed out?

    Podin also remembered, when he reached the edge of the pier of the Island of Idols, as he waited for the boat that would pick him up, his feet stepped on a round object that he thought was a coconut. But it turns out that what he stepped on was a human head. Yes, Podin remembers well, even still remember how when he saw the human head he stepped on it his mouth grimaced showing his teeth with pointed fangs. When Podin looked into his wide eyes he looked at himself as if full of anger. So Podin had to jump back and forth from that head. Podin was terrified, as the head without a body was as if it was going to bite him. When Podin heard the story of his son who is now a ghost of a headless corpse, he thought, is it true that the head he stepped on the idol island is a symbol as the head of his son who will disappear?

    But for Podin, who thought that one's fate had been outlined by the Powerful One, one's destiny was already recorded in the ledger. So when his son who was still sitting in the fourth grade of SD was crushed by a truck, it must have been a suratan destiny. He must be sincere, must accept reality, must be able to live his own fate.

    "Bus .... All that is the fate of a person, has been outlined by who makes life. Our son may be like that. Maybe his fate is like that. Then we must be steadfast, ma'am .... We have to accept the truth. We must be sincere, let our children in the grave be calm. Let our children who are in the realm of permanence that is not the talk of others. So that our children are not like what people say .... Try, Mom .... Let us be patient, we begin to accept this reality, we are steadfast and sincere ...." Podin tried to advise his wife.

    "Mother if you say it's good .... The father spoke .... The father did not think .... Me, Mr .... I am the sick .... I am sad .... I am the tormented ..... Let's imagine, people are talking about our son now being a ghost of a headless corpse .... And those words burned my ears .... Just imagine how you feel ...? so said his wife who was certainly very angry when her husband told her to be stoic and sincere.

    Women are different from men. Moreover, Isti who accepts reality, his first child, his beloved son had an accident. This is a very sad disaster. But indeed the destiny has been outlined by the creator of life. Yes, inevitably they have to accept that reality.

    But out there, people keep talking about headless ghosts.
