BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 33: NEWS OF PILU

    Since morning, Ajang, the owner of the ship hired by Podin to take him to Pulau Berhala, has not returned to the beach tourist base. The ship is not visible until the sun has begun to shift west, of course it has passed the bedug time. And usually, when they hear the sound of the afternoon bedug, people should stop for a moment, in honor of Dzat who will pass by.

    So, his friends, his neighbors, the people in the tourist area of Cipatujah Beach, began to wonder. Where exactly did he go to deliver his tenants earlier? And the big question became crowded when there was a middle-aged woman, who was beautiful and happy to come to the tourist attraction, came directly to the place where the rented ships were leaning. The woman was none other than Mang Ajang's wife who also worked as a tour boat rental. The woman asked the people who were at the resting boat rental.

    "Mang ..., whose father ...? How is it not visible ...? From morning has not been frenetic, nor has he returned home .... This is the food until I have to bring it here .... What many, why does his father not want to go home ...?" so said the woman who was none other than the wife of Mang Ajang, a fat man whose boat was rented by Podin.

    "So morning his boat was hired by people .... He said he would be given a big fee, he would be paid ten times .... So she immediately delivered the man, who rented her boat alone .." said one of her friends who knew when her husband's boat was hired by the man, who this morning came to the Cipatujah Beach tourist attraction.

    "Where to go ...?" ask his wife who wants to know. The woman while carrying the range of food to be used to send her husband, because her husband had not come home, so she brought food for her husband's lunch.

    "Waduh ...?! I don't know where to hire .... Ask someone else, maybe someone knows .... Because I did not hear the agreement." so Brother one of the friends who rent out the tourist boats in the Cipatujah tourist attraction.

    "Akang ..., does Akang know where my husband is going?" ask the woman to the other shipowners, who are also still on break. There are even those who are enjoying lunch delivered by his wife.

    "Oh .., yes .... Your husband went to take the tourists who rented his boat ..." said one of his colleagues who was there.

    "Yes, Mang .... Where's the move? Rent to where? Who hired it men what women?" ask his wife again who would want to know where her husband went to sea, with whom her husband went.

    "Haha .... Jealousy ...?!" ledek one of her husband's friends.

    "City ..., Akang .... No .... Let it be if you want to marry again ..." of course his wife was annoyed because of being hurt.

    "Say, it was told to take men to the island of Berhala" replied one of the people in the boat rental.

    "That ...?! Oh my goodness .... How do you want to be told to go to Pulau Berhala ...?! You can rent it to the haunted island. Yes ampung Mang .... Why do you want ...?! How dare to go to Pulau Berhala, anyway ...?! Huhuhuhuhu ..." The woman, the wife of the ship owner hired by Podin, immediately cried when she heard that her husband had taken the man who had rented his ship to the island of Berhala. Yes, for the people around the area, it is very afraid and very worried if you hear there are people who approach or go to the island of Berhala. Of course because Pulau Berhala is very scary and becomes a taboo for the community there. Because Pulau Berhala is a forbidden island that should not be approached by anyone. The island is very dangerous, because anyone who comes close to the island will not be able to go home or return to his home.

    "This is how, Mang ....?! This has arrived late this afternoon, Mang Ajang has not yet returned home .... Oh my ..... Huhuhuh .... What about the fate of his father? How is my husband's fate? Sir, Mang, Akang ..., please find my husband ..... How is this, Mr ...?! It has been until this afternoon, even almost afternoon, why not give news .... How about this, Mang Ajang has not come home .... Huhuhuhu ..." the woman must have cried, because she was very worried about her husband who went to the island of Berhala. She was afraid that anything would happen to her husband. He asked his friends to help him find.

    "Waduh ...?! If I was told to go to Ptlau Berhala, I would not dare .... Please just ..." said one of his friends Mang Ajang.

    "Please, Mr .... Please, Om .... Please help the father of the children .... Please my husband .... How is my husband ...?! How is his fate ....?! Please find it, how is the fate ...? Is he safe or how ...? Huhuhuhuhu ..." of course the woman of Mang Ajang's wife was crying so badly. She lamented the fate of her husband, whose husband should not pass to Pulau Berhala, but in fact she even drove tourists, she even went with the person who rented her boat to visit the Island of Berhala.

    "Where is this ...?! Mang Ajang has arrived almost afternoon did not go home ...?! Is it okay ...?! Or how about, yeah ...?!" said one of the owners of the ship that was rented to his friends.

    "Gee .... I don't know .... I also did not dare to come to the island. So this morning I refused not to take the man to the island of Berhala" said one of the owners of the rented ship.

    "Lha continues ..., this is how ...?! Is Mang Ajeng left alone ...?! Or are we looking for Mang Ajang ...?!" ask the other person, who of course also began to worry about the condition of his friend. Of course because the day had passed noon, but his friend who went to sea to deliver the tenant was not home yet. This means that if calculated by the time from morning until late afternoon, he should have returned to the base. He should have gone into port again. But this time, even by late afternoon, Mang Ajeng had not yet returned to the Base of course his friends were also worried about his condition. However, they are friends, who certainly have feelings of solidarity, have solidarity with friends, and certainly feel worried about his friend who has not returned.

    "Lah ..., how is this ...?! We should how ...?! What should we do ...?! Do we have to follow him to Pulau Berhala ...?!" the questions are certainly expressed by the people who are there. They are friends who are familiar with each other and always want to help if there are hassles. They feel one brother as a group that rents ships at the tourist spot. Of course his brotherhood sense was very strong.

    "Gee .... Frankly, if I don't dare ...."

    "I can't afford to go to Pulau Berhala ...."

    "Frankly I was afraid to cross to the Island of Berhala ...."

    "Don't take me .... I don't want to .... My son was a child ...."

    "Where, anyway ...?! You guys are not soliders .... Our friend suffered the fate of not wanting to help ...!" said one of his friends who certainly feel sorry for the fate of the Event. Especially when watching his wife crying.

    "Yes, yeah .... Poor the Event ...."

    "Lha continue how ...?! The problem I was afraid ..." his friend who was certainly also afraid to come to the Island of Idols, certainly reasoned.

     "Well .., you're not a solider with your own friends .... That's not good. Cook to your friends, cook your friends to disaster, you don't want to help, you don't want to help." another word that of course he also did not want his friend as fate as a struggle was dead silly on the Island of Berhala.

    "Lha, how do ...?! That's a danger .... If we dare to go there, it's the same as we want to kill ourselves ..." said the others.

    "How about we try to get closer .... We did not enter, but we searched the area around the island only. Yeah, we're just looking over there ..." said the others.

    "But we go there together .... Don't be alone .... Later if anything happens, we can be in danger .... But at the same time, it's at least safer and can help each other." said the other, who provided a solution to get closer to the island, looking for his missing friend. namely Mang Ajang whose ship was hired by people to deliver the person into the island of Berhala.

    Finally, they agreed to help his friend's wife, asking her to find her husband.

    "Mang .., I follow ya ..." so said Mang Ajang's wife, who was certainly also worried about her husband being lost due to going to Pulau Berhala.

    "Don't .... Don't come along .... Women do not come, later even bother if there is nothing ..., even can not save themselves .... Then it's better, Teteh stay here, wait for news from us. Don't go looking, let us search around Pulau Berhala ..." said one of his friends.

    "Yes, right .... You are here ..., wait here .... Trust us." said one of the people who of course he was worried that the woman was coming would be troublesome.

    Indeed, of course women are sometimes even troublesome. He could not make a momentary decision when something happened. So his friends also did not agree that his wife Mang Ajang went to look for her husband, approaching to Pulau Berhala. And finally the woman resigned. She could only wait for news of her husband's friends who were looking for Mang Ajang.

    At last that afternoon, six men wearing a boat set out to find their missing friend. The ship was speeding slowly, of course they are still haunted by the fear of mystical stories about the very dangerous Pulau Pahala. But because he had to find one of his friends who brought a boat rented by visitors, of course they were also with a sense of caution and with caution, they run the ship slowly approaching to Pulau Berhala. Surely they have equipped themselves with life jackets, even in the ship has also been planted tires just in case. Yes, they must also be afraid of the stories they have heard about the danger of approaching to the Island of Idols. Therefore, the six people who were on board the ship, who were looking for his friend, they really prepared themselves with the safety equipment they had worn, and even they did not dare to run the ship quickly. They just run his ship using the outboard motor slowly.

    The ship they were riding on continued to approach towards Pulau Berhala.

    "Where are we going ...?" asked one of the six men, who was at the back of the ship, who was holding his outboard motor, to run the ship towards Pulau Berhala. Of course the person wants to know the direction, will roughly look for Mang Ajang to which area.

    "Don't get too close to Pulau Berhala .... We better surround him. Who knows, we'll see, we'll see the boat. And who knows, he's still around" said another.

    "We observe the coast on the island of Berhala only .... Who knows later the Event is also looking for our help, he is waiting for help from others .... It is possible that Mang Ajang is on the coast, standing while waiting for our arrival ..." said another yeman.

    "Later we will also see the ship. Possible Mang Ajang ship stuck and leaning on the beach." said the others.

    "But where is ...? We haven't seen the boat ...?" so sahut the others.

    Finally they slowly stalked the Island of Idols from a distance. But of course they can observe the coastal areas on the island of Berhala. Surely they also want to see the coast of the island, who knows his friend and his ship are still leaning on the coastal area on the island of Berhala. Slowly they continued to surround the not so big island, but indeed the island was very lush with mangrove forest plants. The interior of the island cannot be seen at all. Because it is entirely covered by a very dense leafy leaves of the mangrove forest.

    "Wadm .... How is there no ...? Not found .... The ship does not exist .... Though we've been around twice this ..." said the man who drove his ship.

    "Yes, yeah .... Not visible at all .... Are we trying to get close to the island again ...?" said one of them, which of course after surrounding the island they had not found the person he was looking for. They have not found Mang Ajang or his ship around there.

    "Wadm ..... Don't get too close .... That's dangerous ...!" the other sahut.

    "We try a little bit .... Later if for example there is a danger, we immediately flip again, turning out to leave this island ..." said another friend, who would also want to approach the island.

    Because of his curiosity, and of course he also wanted to look more closely, to know where his friend was, and his ship was also located where.

    "Yes .., okay if you are brave .... Let's try it, who knows we'll find it." said his friends.

     Then, the person driving the ship, who was holding an outboard motor on the back of the ship, slowly advanced the ship to get closer to Pulau Berhala. And of course while circling the waters around the island.

    But suddenly, after a few meters of the ship began to walk, they began to approach the Island of Idols, they entered the waters closer to the Island of Idols, suddenly, only, it was as if their ship was interesting. Their ship was dragging from the sea.

    "What is this ...?! Why is this ...?!" shouted one of them, who certainly felt there was an oddity in the ship he was aboard.

    "Yes .., someone pulled our ship ..." said the other.

    "Awas ..., be careful ...!!" just scream another one.

    Yeah, all of a sudden, the ship was dragging. The six people directly observed his ship. They looked around the ship. Even the person holding the outboard motor began to stop the ship.

    How shocked they were, it turned out that in the water, the sea water under the ship suddenly sprung human hands that were not visible to his body. Only hands came out of the water and tried to reach the body of the ship. The hands, apparently, have reached the body of the ship. And the ship was dragged away by the hands hanging on the ship's body.

    "God .... There are hands dragging our ship ...!!" shouted one of the people who saw the hand.

    "It's a ghost ...!! It's an idolized hand ...!!" yell at the others.

    "Come, let's go ...!! Come on, leave this place ...!!" so one screamed in fear when watching the hands that had surrounded his ship, and of course immediately invited him away.

    So the owner of the ship, the person who holds the outboard motor was immediately turned around and immediately stuck the gas from the outboard motor that was behind the ship. And even the ship was almost stung up because of the tightness of gas from the outboard motor that was pulled just by the owner of the ship. They immediately fled, they were frightened, they were certainly very sad to witness the incident.

    "Let's hurry ...!!"

    "I'm scared ...!!"

    "I don't want to die ...!!"

    The people inside the boat were screaming in fear. They want to quickly leave the place, and of course they do not want to come closer because the place turns out there are really idols that have threatened him, there are idols that will prey on him.

    Finally, they left the ocean empty-handed, without any results. Six people who boarded the ship, returned to the port where the tour boats rented at Cipatujah Beach. Of course, they all went home with pale faces, because of fear of witnessing the strange that happened on the beach of the island of Berhala.

    "How about, Mang ...?!" so asked Mang's wife, which of course she really hoped her husband could be found, when she saw the ship of her husband's friend, who was willing to find her husband, had come to the port.

    But the six men no one answered. They just shut up. Once at the port, the shipbuilder immediately turned off the engine of his motorbike. They are only able to relax their bodies and of course while breathing many times. Yes, they are still haunted by a sense of fear that does not waver. They are still haunted by the many hands that have tried to pull their ship into the sea.

    "How ...?! You guys managed to find Mang Ajang ...?!" ask his other friends, who are waiting for the ship to arrive.

    And the people who were on Cipatujah Beach, especially his wife Mang Ajang, and the owners of the ship, they immediately approached six people who were still lying on the boat. They instantly helped his helpless companions with those pale faces. They also asked the results.

    "How ...?!" ask his friend again.

    "Of .... Forgiveness .... I don't dare go there anymore .... I was terrified ..." so said one of the people with a voice that seemed to be terrified. It was very obvious that the six people had experienced something that had happened, which was certainly a frightening event that had befallen them.

    "How ...? What's up ...?! Succeeded what not ...?! See what not ...?! Where is Mang Event ...?!" ask the people, who are there. Yes, of course they are curious. They want to know what really happened.

    "Sorry .... Forgive us .... We cannot stand .... We dare not ..." said the others, who were also still lying on the boat.

    "Why ...?! What's up ...?!" asked his curious friends, to the six people who were on the boat, which of course he was very curious.

    "There's scary .... True .., on the Island of Idols there really are frightening idols. There really are ghosts .... There are demons, there are terrifying demons .... We are all scared .... On board, we were dragged by the hands that emerged from the sea. Yes, there are dozens of hands dragging the ship and it will be sunk. That's why we left the place. We do not dare to approach again ..." so the story of the shipbuilder who helped look for the lost Mang Ajang on the island of Berhala.

    "Waduh ...?! Lah, continue how is this ...?! What is the event ...?!" ask the people who helped him.

    "The event has not been met ...?!" ask his partner who is waiting at the port.

    "Not .... Mang Ajang did not meet .... We were only able to circle the island from a distance .... The island is scary .... We didn't find Mang Ajang. We didn't even find the ship." replied the newly-assisted man.

    "The Event .... Huhuhuhu ..." of course his wife Mang Ajang immediately cried.

    "Yes for goodness sake .... How is this ...?" his other friends were confused.

    "Yes .., we are also confused .... By the time we approached, our ship had been dragged by the hands without any body. Yes, our ship will be sunk. It is possible, Mang Ajang with his guest, the same person who rented his ship, was drowned in the middle of the sea when he was going to enter the Island of Idols. Those hands are so fierce. Those hands are very strong. And we were all terrified, because it would be pulled to drown there. Hence, we had to immediately escape from that place. We must leave the Island of Berhala immediately. We are afraid, we do not want to die in vain, we have to tell you, that everything that is told by the community, he said, that everything that is conveyed by people about Pulau Berhala is true. Yes .., it's a very scary island, a very creepy island, an island where demons and demons live, an island where idols will prey on humans who dare to approach there. That is why I tell all of you, do not dare to approach the island of idols. That place is very dangerous. And that means, if we get close to the island of Berhala, we will kill ourselves. That means we will give ourselves up to be preyed upon by creepy idols ..." said one of the six men who had been preparing to find his friend. But of course, they did not succeed and did not find the missing Mang Ajang. Not even a trace of the ship was found.

    "Huhuhuhu .... Huahua .... Huhuhuhu ..." of course Mang Ajang's wife immediately cried so badly, crying was not because of it. Mang Ajang's wife immediately grieved, she felt like she had lost her husband, without being able to find his body. True his wife Mang Ajang can not be anything else, even his friend no one dared to look for the body of her husband on the Island of Idol.

    That day, the story of events about Pulau Berhala again grew spooky with the disappearance of a ship owner who was hired to come to the island. And that person just disappeared without being found.
