They rushed over to some residents who had been working since this morning. While stale talk gives the reason for their delay, the citizens actually seem not to bother about it. Apparently gossip is very fast circulating. Almost all the villagers know what happened to Fendi last night. They give a lot of advice about this and that. While helping the citizens, a pleasant atmosphere was created. They seem to quickly blend in with the citizens, seen from the laughter that is often heard when they work together.
Rahma and Ike are only supervisors. They also prepare consumption for the citizens. Starting from tea, coffee, and snacks. Two hours passed without feeling. Azan dhuhur began to reverberate. Mushola, who is the only one in the village, can voice the azan out loud. Even that voice could be heard from their post house. The working people began to rest. Enjoy the consumption that has been prepared by the two city girls. They sit under a shady tree while chatting. The total number of people who participated in this development was around 10 people. They do not work for free because the Arman group must have prepared funds as wages that they will pay to all villagers. Even though the place will be used together by the villagers but of course this idea still comes from the students. Their duty during KKN in this place certainly does not want to trouble many people. They want to build the village for the better without making a burden on the villagers. Although the villagers also continue to help the students, they still cannot feel aggrieved. At least with the activity taking place villagers who participate in development can make money. The form of money was obtained from the contributions of 12 students who were KKN in the village.
" It turns out the work of villagers is quite fast, huh? Two days later, the toilet was half standing. Just make the roof," Ike said.
"It is not only the roof but the wall is also not in cement We also have to paint the entire wall in this place as well. Not to mention the big Mahdi in front of the toilet. So it's still long enough to complete this task" Armand said.
"Eh, let's say goodbye, shall we? Can, right? We want to finish our proker. After all, drinks and snacks have been made. So if later you need to eat or drink just take it," said Rahma.
"Oh, yes, I have. No papa you guys just stay. You two are going?" ask Armand.
"Man, I also unplug what is it? My proker has to be done one today. Later if my proker has been run I come back here again deh helpin," said Derry.
"Yes, it's okay. You three heart in the street."
The air is cold, even though the sun is overhead. Unfortunately, they did not enjoy the sun exposure as it was covered with trees. Only occasionally did the light break through the gaps of the leaves until it could reach the ground.
The three students walked side by side. Rahma, Ike is in the middle and Derry is next to him.
"To have a guy yet?" derry asked arrived.
The two girls immediately looked at Derry with a strange look. Especially Ike. While Rahma ended with a smile while nudging Ike's arm.
"Cie, someone wants it like that" said Rahma then turned her face to give space to two friends.
"Why?" tanya Ike looked at Derry in wonder.
"Yes, answer dong. I ask, the question is answered by the question."
"Hem, no. Don't have a boyfriend."
"But have you ever dated?"
"Yes, it was once."
"Oh okay."
"Kok Okay?"
"Yes so I want to pdkt nih, according to Rahma said earlier. Well, the reason I asked that, let you be a little sensitive, if I go back to lo. Not too cold or cold."
"Well, that's it. His name is pdkt it, should be able to until I'm interested too. I have to understand the pdkt lo signal!"
"Eh, I think it's better this chatter is replaced with my word you, deh. Yeah, right, Ma? Agree not?" tanya Derry turned to Rahma.
"Ih responsibility. Why not just 'Yang?" rahma asked and ended with a laugh
"Yes, it's not done yet, Ma. Or are we just, Ke? So Rahma's idea can we use now?" derry asks and manages to make Rahma laugh off her back, while Ike smiles shyly.
"Derry's crazy!" ejek Ike's.
"No matter what crazy, this madman also loves the same lo."
"Cieeeeeee!" tease Rahma.
"Maha."
"Gell!"
Along the way, Derry keeps ticking Ike. While Rahma becomes the stove of their relationship. Arriving in the village they immediately do their respective proker. Incidentally the proker they did was almost the same. They gathered young children and some parents who would be taught about reading and counting. Derry is indeed part of eradicating illiteracy for adults. While Rahma and Ike teach children who have not yet gone to school. Most children here will go to school after the age of more than 7 years, namely entering primary school. Children whose age is below that, do not feel any level of education. Which will usually be found many kindergartens, in the village there is nothing at all. So that Ike and Rahma will teach the toddler children were calistung.
A large wooden building became the place where they taught. Of course by being separated using a plywood bulkhead so that each other is not disturbed by each other. Two hours they have taught, children have been sent home all because learning today is finished. There is no need to use a long time, but an important routine. So that what has been taught by Rahma and Ike can be remembered by the child.
"I'm going back home first. Want to prepare a meal for later" said Rahma.
"Eh, go with dong."
"Don't. You're here. Help Derry tuh. He's not finished Proker. I can do some shopping and cooking by myself, so later if you have all gone home, the cooking is ready, just eat it," said Rahma.
"Hm, are you sure I don't want to help you?"
"No, no, Ke. You help Derry. Poor thing. He has many students. It seems like he's a bit of a problem" Rahma said.
Looks like he intends to give an opportunity so that Ike and Derry can be together more often. Finally, with all the considerations and persuasions of Rahma, Ike also complied.
"Understand me, yes, sir, Mom?" asked Derry in the middle of the villagers who are now turning into his students.
Ike stood at the near end near the triplex that covered the place from around. Derry who saw the girl then blinked one eye. Ike who was surprised by Derry's attitude then showed a dislike attitude by pursing his lips. But Derry immediately smiled, and waved his hand for the girl to get closer.even though Ike was often annoyed by Derry's attitude that sometimes likes to be arbitrary, but he was willing to obey Derry by approaching the young man who was standing in front, and watched by dozens of villagers.
"Why?" ask Derry in a whisper.
"Not needed help? I'm empty" said Ike.
"Duh, you're so attentive, Yang," said Derry starting to tag Ike.
"God! The one who! It's good to call him that!" peekkik Ike's.
"What's okay, right, Yang? All rehearsals. So if it's right you'll accept my love, then I'll call you unfortunately" said Derry again.
"Derry ah! That's it! Sayu continued, don't joke. Or I'm coming back" Ike threatened.
"Who is kidding? I'm serious."
"Bodo ah!" said Ike somewhat annoyed.
But Derry is not giving up. Still trying to seduce Ike while still finishing the proker.
It was late afternoon when Derry and Ike walked home. They decided to go to the well making to check to what extent the development there was.
"This place is actually good, huh? Try it if not horror. I feel at home for a long time here," Ike said as they walked down the village road.
"Yes. Delicious, adem, cold. But I like it here. Because there's you" Derry said with a smile.
"Buck!"
"Seriously!"
"Yes yes. Seriously! But, Der, I thought tonight would there be any previous kayaking? How about a serem, yeah, shadow it. Moreover, said Armand statue in the spring can walk its own way. Uh, that's really you see that statue's a street?" ask Ike enthusiastically.
"Yes. See really. At first it was also a bit strange, if you say demon, what demon it is. Like tuh, the type is not in the guidebook of fine creatures of Indonesia. But if you say human, it's also impossible, because the shape is strange."
"What's the shape anyway?"
"Yes. But how weird is it, how can a statue walk its own way."
"In my opinion, it could be if it turns out that the figure of the ancestors who worshiped villagers, who they say the god drops or what it is, is the statue."
"God's time as a statue?"
"Well, that. Maybe they have other beliefs. Not all of these villagers are Muslims. Some are not even religious. They embraced the beliefs of the ancestors. Maybe it was the people who worshipped the god of the statue."
"Well, so the statue's a god to them, huh? Continues what ability of him as a god?"
"Well, how do I know, baby! I don't worship that statue!" derry's Omelette.
"Ih, he said he wanted to call me you, why change again?"
"Ye it's mah because you're kinkin. Uh, but... Likes, huh? Called me you gini? If you like, you also dong change and call it, "smart Derry with a sweet face made.
"Dreams!" exclaim Ike then walk first to leave Derry. The young man continued to call out Ike's name while tailing him until he reached the location.
"Der! Well, coincidences! Change here lo! I'm tired!" cendol.
"Well, I'm new too. I've been told to work rode aja," hardik Derry lazy slack. But Cendol continued to force until finally the debate occurred. But even so, Derry finally wanted to take to the field to help his friends.
Armand had just rested after helping stir the cement for the construction of the wall. They do not have basic building skills, so they can only help as much as possible.
While enjoying the already cold coffee, Armand stared around. The boisterous atmosphere made his mind a little calmer. Various problems that since yesterday made him and his friends in the fog, as if to leave for a while this afternoon.
Moreover, the enthusiasm of the villagers also made the spirit of Armand rise. Those who did not join in building the well, just watched on the side of the road. Among the crowd was a stranger-looking person. Armand continued to watch the person earlier. There was a strange feeling as he clashed with the man.
"Man! Turn around," said Cendol patting Armand on the shoulder.
Armand was surprised, then turned his head towards his friend. "Yes, come on." But when Armand looked back at the man's place, he was no longer there. Azan magrib had just reverberated. People started leaving the construction site. So did Armand and his friends.

"Are you sure you want to build electricity here?" ask one of the electricians while looking around. His gaze was a little strange. But Daniel tried to be reasonable.
"Yes, Sir. We're here, and this is one of our group's work programs" Daniel said.
"Hm, yes I have. The important thing is heart. Oh yes, so later will be installed about 10 electricity poles in the village, Mas. After we checked the whole village earlier, " PLN officer said.
"Oh so, yes, sir. Alright. Which territory, sir, if I may know?" ask Daniel.
"Turning across this whole village, Mas. So that this place evenly distributed to the electric."
"Means forest area too?" ask Sule.
"Yes, Mas. Forests too. Because we do not know in this village there will be development in the future. So in order not to work twice, we installed electricity poles throughout the village, to the surrounding forest as well."
For electrical installation, they do not mix more deeply. Because something like this can only be done by experts. At most they just supervise the course of the project. Enthusiastic citizens, looking to watch from a distance. It is like a new entertainment for the villagers around.
Daniel kept a close eye from the beginning to the end of this proker. Fendi, who had not slept since last night, looked pale and yawned several times. The rest of the friends look pity to see what happened to Fendi. It's just that they can't do anything. Can only give a small attention so that Fendi does not feel alone in dealing with all this.
They arrived at the cemetery. Some residents who initially continued to follow the installation of this electrical installation began to decrease when they reached the cemetery area. The atmosphere became very quiet there were only one two people who still survived.
"Now isn't it? As if the citizens don't want to come to this place?" ask Indi whispering.
"Yes really. The proof is that they all came home when we came to this place. Maybe this place is so haunted that the villagers do not want to come here" added Mey.
They are now standing outside the cemetery because the electricity poles built are inside the cemetery. It was in front of the water. The place is of particular concern to them. Especially the stone statue that is still in its place. Suddenly arrived Fendi who was initially calm and well, suddenly hysterical.
"Don't! Nay! Don't come near me! Go ye! Go!" panicked shouting. Fendi immediately ran away from the place.
"Le, please go after him!" daniel's orders.
"Ready!"
"Le, come!" pinta Khusnul's.
They both then ran after Fendi who went out of nowhere. Meanwhile, PLN employees seemed confused to see this situation. It's just not with the guy that was talking to Daniel before.
'Looks like he knows something, ' Daniel's inner self.
Sule and Khusnul run after Fendi. Until finally he was intercepted by Mr. Sobri who happened to cross paths with them.
"Lho, why is this?" ask him while watching Fendi's face. "Come, come with me" said Mr. Sobri.
Sule and Khusnul then nodded and followed Mr. Sobri back home with Fendi who continued to be joined by the two. They were afraid that Fendi would act uncontrollably again.
"Actually your friend is a bit heavy. I saw that he was still surrounded by a black aura since last night" Mr. Sobri said.
"Well, how do you go, sir? Is there no way to help her like Mey used to?" ask Khusnul.
"If the Mother who was yesterday, light. Just plastered. So I easily threw him out. But it's like it's going to stick and not let go."
Fendi could only duck. He was unable to say any more words.
"But time is no way, sir? Poor our friend. Even in his dreams he was bullied. An apology might reduce that terror?" ask Sule.
"Hm, I'll try to come to the creature to apologize. For a while ... Drink this while you're here. If this water is running out, fill it again with drinking water at home. But don't run out and not be filled."
"Oh so it keeps recharging before it runs out, huh, sir?" ask Khusnul.
"Yes right. It's only for a while. Until I find another way out. I also feel sorry to see your friends. May he be strong, yes."
The three of them finally said goodbye to their home. "Nul, you go home with Fendi, yes. I reported Daniel first, afraid he was anxious" Sule said.
"Oh yes. Yeah, I went home with Fendi. But then you go straight home, yeah. I'm afraid the others haven't reached home yet. I was both with Fendi."
"Yes, just calm down. I'll go straight home with Daniel."
"OKAY. Take care, Le."
"You too."
They separated at the intersection of Mr. Sobri's house which led to the post house and returned to the cemetery. Sule walked alone, until at the empty house that had been the fruit of their lips, Sule glanced while holding his nape. "Damn! Don't let you be like that either. We're tired of facing that thing!" said Sule.
But Sule realized, there was a pair of red eyes that were in the darkness of the empty house. He grins.
