"The name, Lelepah, nduk." said Mr. Udin as the six of us went to his house to ask for directions, "A genie-like creature who likes to eat raw meat such as: chicken, rabbit, rabbit, fish and so on. So, to avoid things that are not desirable, the villagers if out of the house always carry raw meat. Had it been, accidentally or coincidentally met with lelepah, the person concerned would have given him the meat," explained Mr. Udin.

"I'm sorry, sir.. Is there really a creature whose name is lelepah ?" ask Akhmad.

"Mad, watch your talk" said Joan.

"Sir, our goal in coming to my father's house is to ask for opinions and advice, how should we start the search for our 4 missing friends" I explained.

"The plan is, when do you want to look for it ?"

"Faster, better, sir." I replied.

"Well, you'll send some men to look for them. But, there are some places that are not arbitrary people can enter. if violated, disaster will befall this village. To the north of this village, that place is the tomb of our ancestors, no one can enter it except the village elders. We ourselves without their permission, did not dare to enter it. The second place is, the Western part, we call it Bajang" said Mr. Udin.

"Bajang ? What is it, sir ?" ask Julia.

"Bajangs. That's the name of the villagers for the figure of a creature that is in the form of a baby. His body looks like a baby in general, however, his head is strange, sharp-toothed. Its appearance is usually characterized by heartbreaking cries, as well as pain. They are abortion victims. I just remind you, do not let you be fooled by the form of a genie named Bajang, they can look funny, but they can also show the true form, premature babies /defects and terrible," obviously Mr. Udin.

All of us who heard Mr. Udin's explanation shuddered, our hope was to find Pedro, Parto, Bianca and Ikbal soon after leaving this village.

***

The first destination, the location of our search was the place where we first had an accident.

5 tall, sturdy and sturdy people who were given the task by Mr. Udin as guides and road explorers carrying machetes, used to mow wild plants and weeds, as well as, the iron stick, which is approximately one meter and a half 2 meters long at the end, is used to guard against attacks by flat animals such as snakes and so on; SAR and sickle equipment backpacks.

The encroachers work deftly, cutting down the weeds or cutting down the wood that runs above the head, right and left sides. Without the road penetrators who are really experts in their field, maybe we will have difficulty reaching the location/field which for us is quite heavy.

After walking for more than two hours, we arrived at the crash site. Our car was still left abandoned there and began to be overgrown with bushes and wild plants.

"We've reached the location, son.." said Mr. Rusli, "That's your car, isn't it ? We didn't move the car on purpose because we were worried about being hit by a plague,"

"That's ? What does that mean, sir ?" ask Hudi.

"Every item that is splashed with blood, we are prohibited from touching it because it can cause disaster or disaster. The accident that you experienced a few days ago, has caused a death. Your driver's dead. According to our custom, if someone dies, whether it is by accident, murder or suicide, we are only allowed to help them for 24 hours, more than that we can't touch their stuff. So, before 24 hours, we have to prepare everything, including his funeral. Well, when you have an accident, we're the one who got you out of the car including the body of the driver. There is no one else but the seven of you, so we were surprised when you said 4 of your friends disappeared. The driver we buried in a place a little far from here, do you want to see his grave ?" Rusli.

"No, sir. We have to find our friends first," I refused, "Can we check our car, sir maybe there's something left in there ?"

"But, that's ..." Mr. Rusli looked hesitant and looked at his friends.

"We must negotiate it first with Mr. Sujar, the head of this village," said Mr. Yunus.

"Ouch, biyung... Kate's ndelok barange Dewe, kangelan," said Akhmad.

"Ojo talk carelessly, Mad.." said Bella, "We are guests, ora iso sak karepe Dewe.

Joan walked over to the car's skeleton, her pair of eyes sweeping to every corner, there were patches of dried blood on the driver's seat, the smell of blood rancid still smelled even though the accident had passed almost a week, flies and ants shrouded Mr. Dadung's seat.

Suddenly, Joan's attention was on the door on the left side of the middle of the car, the door was also damaged and was visited by wild plants, however, the door was broken, he could see the former body being dragged towards a pile of bushes in front of the muzzle of the car facing East. It was about 10 meters away where we stood.

"Sir Jonah, may I borrow the pole ?" joan asked, "It seems there's something behind that pile of bushes and wood,"

Mister Jonah immediately stepped in the direction Joan pointed. He immediately worked to clean up the thickets of the bush and the wood. And, the pole is like hitting an object that is quite hard and strong.

We hurriedly stepped up and checked it, however, Mr. Toni the backpack carrier prevented it, "I'm sorry, if you guys want to check it out, use this hand t-shirt, then throw it away," he said while handing us some hand shirts. We received and put it on after that inspect the object while Mister Jonah continued to carefully clean the wild bushes. Day ..

Bella is hysterical when she sees an object that turns out to be a human bone.

Joan examined the skull. There is our campus x city alma mater suit, even if it is tattered and the purple color is fading but, we are sure it is our school place suit. By looking at the arrangement of the bones of the teeth and the shape of the bones, he was a male. His head is cracked.

"He's Ikbal, guys," said Joan.

"How did he get dragged 10 meters away from the crash site?" my many.

Bella, Hudi, Akhmad and Julia looked sad while Joan's pair of eyes continued to look around. Even though, there are a lot of wild and creeping plants, but that is precisely what bothers him.

Those road-runners, back to work paved the way for us. The crash site was already far behind us while the day the sun had started leaning towards the West.

"Gentlemen, we should get out of here before nightfall, tomorrow we continue again" Mr. Rusli said.

***

That night, we sat in the front porch of Bi Midar's house. Joan looked agitated. I think I'm the one who knows what caused it. Before leaving KKN, Ikbal's mother wanted us to be able to take care of Ikbal well until KKN is finished, however, which happened just beyond our expectations. We don't know how to explain this to her.

"You didn't hear anything ?" suddenly Bella said in a loud voice.

"What's the sound, Bell ?" my many.

"Listen carefully" said Bella.

"We didn't hear anything" Hudi joined in.

The six of us went silent to confirm the truth of Bella's words. It doesn't sound anything.

"Actually, what do you hear, Bell ?" my many.

"I heard a voice like a baby crying" Bella said.

"It's a biyung.. mbok, yes nggedabrus, ta, Bell," said Akhmad.

"Sweet you didn't hear it. Looks like the sound's not far from here,"

"Don't you mind, Bell. They are jinn, so do not let you fall asleep, just ignore them" said Joan.

"Ta. ta. but, it seems that the baby needs our help" said Bella.

"It has. Cover your ears, ignore it !!" snapped Joan.

This impact was enough to make Bella surprised as well as others.

"Don't leave our minds empty. If that happens, we'll be doomed" I said.

"Listen. From today on we must always be together, not to be separated, ", said Joan.
