BLOOD PASSAGE
Strange Disturbances from Sri Weningsih

In the morning, the sun rose to the surface of the sky. All activities will start in a few minutes. I came down the stairs rushing to the bathroom to pee and wash my face.

"It's so fresh"

I murmured softly, and again washed my face with cold water in the morning. After I got out of the bathroom I met the lady outside the house.

“ibu doesn't know your name nak”

I smiled and moved closer to the house.

“my name is star mom, her classmate is lira at SMA”

Ma'am smiled and nodded.

“Your name is good, surely your mother was very grateful when you were born. So, give a star name to you”

I nodded to correct what Mom said.

“Bu, may stars ask something hal”

Bu anih smiled back and invited me to sit on the bamboo bench we were sitting on for a short rest yesterday.

“You want to ask what?”

I fixed my sitting position and then took seriously to the foam anih.

“What mother has experienced strange events in this house”

Ma'am Anih rounded her eyes, shocked to hear the sentence I had just uttered.

“What star mean. Mother doesn't understand”

I smiled at the mother, she said clearly visible from the look on her face that she was hiding something.

“Mom knows what stars mean, so please tell me very much what mom experienced”

I gently patted her two eyes while patting her hands that were linked to each other.

“Mom can't kid, you won't believe what I see or tell you later”

I shook my head slowly.

“Whatever the sentence that mom uttered. Stars will definitely believe”

I tried to convince the mother and the heavy breathing from her made me feel relieved. He could finally be persuaded.

“Mother, has experienced several strange events, one month after the news of the silent death of the incident began to come one by one. Like the door of a house that was like someone was knocking, the sound of a ladder creaking like someone was riding it, the sound of laughter coming from the silent room and sinden singing from that room. And one more thing you may not believe, son, but a few months ago I almost killed my mother's husband for being possessed by a wening spirit. And last night the mother dreamed, wening approached the mother with a whole body full of bruises and blood flowing from her body that was slashed”

Ma'am Anih ended her story in tears, the last sentence of which was able to make me gulp my own saliva. My feelings became unreasonable after hearing the story, fear and sadness mixed into one. I looked at the middle-aged woman before me and gave her a smile.

“Steady mother”

I stroked the back of Mom's hand. He wiped his tears and nodded slowly at me.

“Bu. The reason why stars ask this is because stars also experience strange events like mothers, not exactly the same as mothers experience. That night when the star escorted Fika to the bathroom the strange thing appeared. There are two fika figures that the star sees, and the star believes it is not a hallucination. The star believes the other fika is a silent figure who incarnates or changes himself, especially after hearing the story of the mother. That mother also often experienced strange events”

Ma'am anih pity me.

“I'm sorry mom, I can't help you. Mother also does not know how to cope with it”

“What's wrong ma'am, but the star wonder why the silent figure even possessed mother and tried to kill mr hasan?”

“Mother doesn't know the stars either. But thankfully at that time the mother's husband immediately ran to the house of smart people in this village and finally managed to remove the spirit of silence from the body of mother”

Ma'am smiled slightly and stood up.

“Mother wants to prepare breakfast son, can you please mom?”

I nodded then stood up and walked up to the top of the house to prepare breakfast.

...

I began to arrange the dishes and other side dishes in the place there with yesterday, which is near the kitchen. She went to wake up my friends and her husband.

“As usual, you always wake up early bi”

I smiled at the lira who had just arrived and immediately sat down near me.

I confirmed the lira sentence, my sleep was also very slumbering yesterday. I didn't wake up at one in the morning and even went to bed early. A few minutes later we all got together for breakfast. There was no conversation like last night, we all ate our food in silence. After finishing eating pak hasan stood saying goodbye to us and also froth to go to the rice fields. So did brother kevin and dion who also immediately ran after Pak hasan after saying goodbye to foam anih. After cleaning our tableware finally, down to the bamboo bench belongs to the family bu anih.

“I'm confused want to do what”

Lira breathed in languidly near me. Naisyah and fika just nodded in response to the sentence that was thrown by the lira. For a few minutes nothing we did suddenly the lira stood up and smiled in front of us all.

“I know something fun, which we can all do”

We all looked at the lira in surprise, she did know the fun thing to do but before saying it she went inside the house while calling the name of bu anih out loud. And after that the lira back together with the bayah woman who is none other than foam.

“Let's follow ibu”

Me, brother naishah, and fika stood up and followed the mother and lira who had gone before us.

“Where are we going?”

I whispered softly to the lira, while the one being asked just smiled and said.

“Cute only”

I nodded and then continued to walk in the footsteps. After passing through several houses we finally reached a field filled with green grass, except in front of a large stage it was just empty land without grass. The stage is very large and luxurious, the curtain of batik motifs that make the stage is very luxurious accompanied by wooden architecture painted like gold.

“This ronggeng” show place

I immediately turned around and looked at the maam who was walking next to me. Our footsteps finally stopped right in front of the big stage.

“Two days away, exact celebration turn of the year. The ronggeng show will be held here. Mother and husband mother every turn of the year must have missed it along with the citizens around here to see the ronggeng dancers. Wening also often danced with ronggeng dancers here, he was taught until finally able to perform in front of us. the first time he appeared here at the age of fifteen years 3rd grade Junior High at that time.his first appearance was also seen by the lira and her family who were also on vacation here. But unfortunately his pleasure in the ronggeng dance must stop because he is no longer in the world. Wening my poor son”

I looked at the foam, he looked up to eat the sky trying to hold back his tears that were about to fall.

“Propos bu”

Lira rubbed the back of her hand slowly, and she smiled.

“What a son, mom lately somehow always imagined a silent face. So every time I remember it makes mom feel sad”

I looked pityfully at bu anih as well as sister naisyah and fika who tried to comfort bu anih.

“Mother do not be sad, we are here to accompany mother for a few days. Later we all crowded to watch the ronggeng show on the night of the turn of the year”

Bu anih smiled and hugged kak naisyah while muttering a word of thanks slowly.

“bu can we go up to her stage ats?”

Bu anih nodded then we all enthusiastically took off the flip-flops we used. Lira ran back and forth on the stage we were on right now. There was a soft creaking sound due to the boards rubbing against each other.

“I once learned ronggeng as a child at my grandmother's house, I still remember her movements a little”

Naisyah spoke softly near me, and I just smiled.

“Then try to show us brother, honestly I have never seen ronggeng dance like what”

Fika smiled shyly. I also never saw ronggeng dance directly only saw it through the television I saw it when I was six years old, my shadow at that time about ronggeng dance is something mystical and full of mystery. The drawers rarely smile, and smiling is just a scary knot smile they show. And somehow I always feel bad when I hear the word ronggeng, and things related to the ronggeng. Naisyah continued to dance in front of us who were sitting lined up behind her. He flexibly moved his hips and hands, although several times almost slipped.

“I'm very tired”

Naisyah immediately laid her body near bu anih. His roar sounded dashed and the sweat from his forehead dripped over and over. The lady nearby just smiled.

“You are beautiful and good at dancing ronggeng, do you want to be one of the dancers on this stage?”

Smile kak naisyah they, he has not answered the question bu anih but from the look of his face is very clear if he really wants.

“If you are your mother can tell pak wayan, music player at once who has this stage”

And with a one-time nod of the head Naisyah agreed to call bu anih to become one of the dancers while in this area.
