Hey Indigo Girl (The Series) TAMAAAAAT!!!!
23. ancestor Armand

This trip has no problems. Unlike the previous time when Daniel and Mr. Muh came to the boarding school. Now they began to enter the Kalimati hamlet area. Time has shown almost midnight. Of course all the villagers are asleep now. But suddenly arrived the car that was driving Pandu stopped.

"Loh, Mum. That's their car, it stopped, huh?" ask Mr. Muh who is currently looking into the spy.

Automatically Daniel who had not slept since, also looked back.

"Oh yes. Sir, stop first, sir!" said Daniel.

Daniel got out of the car and approached the car. The people in the car came down. While paying attention to the tire of the car on the right of the driver.

"Why, Ndu?" daniel asked, looking in the direction that Pandu was looking.

"Calms, Nile. Ckcc. When I left, I checked everything."

"Maybe stepping on a nail or setting a clock on the road" Kyai said.

"Well, how is it, Kyai?" ask Pandu.

"Yes already. Let's just go with Daniel's car."

As a result they continued their journey with one car and left the car owned by Pesantren right in front of the village gate.

Mr. Muh and Pandu sat in the front seat. Kyai, Sharif and Daniel are in the middle. The car drove quite slowly, because the uneven road terrain made Mr. Muh more careful in driving. Moreover, this time he brought someone who was quite influential in the area where his in-laws lived. Mr. Muh did recognize Kyai Ghofar. It is not to recognize in the sense of know, but only to know the name Ustad Ghofar, or currently better known as Kyai Ghofar. The man was indeed quite famous in the region. As the owner of the boarding school and also a person who is considered religious. The nature of Kyai Ghofar also deserves a thumbs up. He is among the people who are light-handed, often almsgiving, and the person who most often helps the villagers around. For Kyai Gofar to abstain for him to let the people living around him starve. He was even willing to spend money from his own pocket to feed the poor people around his residence.

"Serems too, yes," Sharif said.

"Maybe it's night and everyone's asleep. So it looks spooky. Yeah, right, Nile?" ask Pandu.

"Hm? Yes, it is also scary, Ndu. The houses are mostly just in the area, because they are getting into a lot of empty houses that are uninhabited" Daniel explained, pointing behind them, where they came from.

Because there is also the location of Village Hall, the house of Mr. Kades, school, and mosque. It can be said that the area there is the center of all the activities of local villagers. Even some houses are also more built in the area.

"Is there anything that interests you, Nile?" ask Kyai.

"Eum, in addition to the burial area, there is one house. So the house is closest to our post house, Kyai. But ... According to a growing rumor, the house was empty because the owner committed suicide. Holy hooch! Why did I realize it, yes! So many suicides here apparently!" cry Daniel.

"Did you ever see anything in that house?" ask Pandu.

"I haven't, but other friends have, even often."

" What do they see?" ask Sharif.

"Most of them saw the figure of a red-leaved woman. Probably called kuntilanak, huh, Kyai?" ask Daniel.

"Yes, right. The red kuntilanak."

"But why did the kuntilanak appear, Kyai? " ask Daniel

" What's wrong if what appears there is kuntilanak? No, can't you, do you?"

"Hehehe. That's not what I mean, Kyai. But regarding the history of the house, should not what appears is the figure of jin qarin the occupant of the house? Usually if there is a suicide incident then the figure that will often appear on the location is a figure that resembles the person. Who will do what they did before they die."

"That's true. But if what appeared in the house was not the figure of the genie Qorin the owner of the house I could conclude one thing now."

"What is it, Kyai?"

" the subtle creatures in this place are indeed arranged in such a way by the leader. It was the leader who had the figures inhabiting somewhere. Like for example the red kuntilanak in an empty house near where you live."

"Leader of the subtle creatures, Kyai? Well, I just heard that he can say it like that. But I'm sure that the leader must have great power. The proof of this car can be attacked by dozens of birds from various directions. I was afraid" said Mr. Muh.

"Yes, Mr. Muh. That creature is strong enough. But no one can match the power of Allah SWT."

"Rubber, Kyai."

"Well that's his house, Kyai. The empty house that I told you about" Daniel said as soon as the former suicide house was seen.

"Oh, that's right. Kuntilanak is often in front of the house. It seems intentional to scare people," Pandu said.

"But not just kuntilanak like him, Ndu," continued Syarif.

"What do you feel, Rif?"

"Somehow since I entered the des here, I feel like a lot of kids are hanging around. And the village is quite crowded. Isn't that right, Kyai?"

"So you can feel it? That was the condition that happened in this village first. Because this village is quite crowded with many residents. Even at midnight like this there will still be residents who pass, even if only for night patrol events. But at least this village is alive."

"Yes, yeah. Why is there no night. Though usually in rural areas there are still many night patrol activities. Even the previous village was there just now, right?"

"Yes, Nile, there's. Maybe the citizens here are already frightened because of the subtle-creature. I'm sure, if the villagers are also often disturbed like you. You guys who have only been here for a month are always bullied, especially those who live for years in this place," Pandu said.

"Well, that's them! Uh, why are they outside?" daniel asked when he saw his friend on the porch.

***

The condition is calm. The clock had already shown past midnight when Kyai managed to drive all the creatures that were bothering them from the house. Now they all gather in the living room. Everyone's condition is not okay. Especially people who have experienced trance earlier.

"Better, Ma'am, just rest in the room" Kyai pointed to Khusnul.

"Yes, Nul. Go to room only. Rest. Ma, Ndi, Mey, Ke, Temenin Khusnul, yes. You guys rest too. It's late" said Armand.

"Yes, if you'll excuse me, Kyai."

Now there are only men outside. The door of the house has been closed with the condition of the curtains are also tightly closed.

"It's a good thing you came on time, Nile," Sule said.

"But where did the teacher go? Why not come?" ask Armand.

"Lecturers don't come, Man. He said they'd be here next week. There will be a lecturer event that visits the place kkn. Not just where we are."

"Oh that. But you guys are good, right? Mr Muh, is that okay? I see the car is a bit dented, yes," said Armand.

"Not a dent it mah. Ringshek, Man. But strange shape. What the hell are you guys doing?" ask Derry.

"We're not the ones who hit. But we were hit by a bird" Daniel said.

"Well, how can you?" ask Cendol.

"Eh, what does Mr. Kyai want to drink? A coffee? Tea?" ask Dolmen.

"No, water later. Daniel may have something you want to get to your friend. The results met with the lecturer last afternoon," concluded Kyai.

Hearing Kyai's words, they all turned to Daniel with question marks.

"Hm? Why, Nile? What did the professor say?" ask Derry.

"Yes, any message for us? Is there a wrong proker?" ask Cendol added.

"No. That's not. But about this village."

"This village? Oh, you've told the lecturer that this village is haunted, right? How do they respond?" ask Dolmen.

"Yes. So it turns out there used to be students on our campus who have never been here. It happened 10 years ago. What we experience, they also experience. Like a trance for example."

"Continue?" ask Derry.

Because it is not able to stand it anymore, they finally asked for help so that they are no longer disturbed by the subtle creatures of the inhabitants of this village. They even report it directly to our lecturers. I know this story because I also met with the guidance lecturer of these students. The lecturer told me that."

"What does he say?" ask Armand.

"They managed to drive the creatures away. Even for one week there are no more disturbances like we experienced earlier. But after that, the instructor actually heard the bad news."

"What news?!"

"It turns out that all the students who failed here 10 years ago were ... Died already. They all died by hanging themselves in the cemetery. Just under the tree before the spring."

"Well! Seriously?"

"Everyone, Nile?!"

"Suicide??"

Everyone was surprised to hear the news. This information was something they had heard for the first time. Once they are in this place, they only know the information.

"Why? How can I kill myself? They said they're not disturbed by the creature anymore?" ask Sule.

"Not to know, Le. The teacher also did not know what was going on. Eating the incident he said crowded and in the news. According to police investigations they all died of depression. Their KKN food and also because of the thesis they're going to make."

"Huh? It's strange! It can't be because of that!" peekik Derry's.

"Eh, do not after one week they are not disturbed, the next week they are possessed by all the same creatures here. And that's why they all found suicide! Aye, right?" ask Cendol.

"Yes, it makes sense too. It is not possible that all students commit suicide. Feels weird. Moreover, the reason is because of depression due to kkn and thesis? Stupid people looking for excuses!" added Armand.

Kyai Gofar had only been silent about their discussion ever since. He smiled in response to everything he heard. Kyai did not dare to interrupt, as they naturally needed time to discuss this matter together.

"And there's another strange thing again" Daniel said.

"Otherwise?"

"Actually KKN for the purpose of this village has been closed by the campus. So the campus doesn't allow any students to be KKN here."

"That's weird. You know it doesn't turn out that the report on the campus computer with the report shared with us is different. The difference is just one, the location. On the campus computer we have KKN in Alas Ketonggo village. The village was the village that was there, before this Kalimati Village," pointed Daniel towards the village gate.

"Loh time anyway? I'll check!" said Arman.

Arman picked up a pile of papers he had received on campus. In the paper, information about this KKN from the members of the cost details until its location is all listed there.

"But this is really here. Look," Armand said, then showed it to his friend.

The writing on the paper is clearly visible, if the KKN they do is located in Kalimati Hamlet. There was nothing wrong actually on the paper, but actually the location they should have been to was Alas Ketonggo Village.

"Yes, Man. I have also checked many times, even when on campus was the same lecturer. The writing on the report we received is indeed the location kkn We are here. But actually the location of our KKN that we should go to is not here. It seems like someone deliberately changed it."

"Seriously? Who the hell is that prankster? Crazy times yes! Play with people's lives! Holy jeez!" pekik Cendol's.

" don't you change this satanic writing again!" whisky Dolmen.

"Don't always blame the devil, pity they always get slandered" Kyai said.

"Eh, sorry, Kyai. Strange end. The writing period can change itself!"

"Yes, I understand your confusion. But I'm sure it was replaced by a human, not a subtle creature."

"But who, Kyai?"

"Can I talk now?" kyai asked staring at them all in turn.

"Of course you can, Kyai."

"If I notice and I draw a straight line, here is indeed an intrigue deliberately made by someone to make you in this place. But I don't want to mention the characteristics, later you will know for yourself. So, he actually found out about the condition of this place. He also deliberately made you here, in the hope that the events that once happened here will be repeated to you again. Subhanallah, it's heart-wrenching, '" Kyai said.

"Then, this incident that you experienced is exactly what they used to experience. So we already know, right, how's their end? And now we have to prevent that from happening to you."

"How is it, Kyai? We just go home, yeah. Don't you have to do it. Going home next year is nothing, than life is at stake" Dolmen said.

"no need. Because if you avoid it though, things like this will certainly happen again. You have no pity on anyone else who's going to be a victim?"

"What do we do, Kyai? We could have died, too, right?" ask Cendol.

"The soul, soul, and death are arranged by God. Let's not worry about something that hasn't happened. Even if we can figure out what will happen later, we just have to try to keep it from happening to us."

"Help us, Kyai."

"God willing. My students and I will try it. But we need your help too. We have to work together."

***

"So the source of all the commotion here is the figure of the statue in the cemetery area?" ask Kyai.

"We are sure so. You see the statue can walk its own way, Kyai!" peekik Derry's.

"Yes, Daniel told me about it. All right, let's get back to the topic of our conversation. The source of this village's trouble is the stone statue, right?"

"Yes, Kyai."

"Actually he, or rather the creature that resides in the statue is a genie. He's lived for thousands of years. Indwelt this village and even began to dare to organize the humans here in a devious manner."

"Sorry, Kyai. I have heard that some villagers worship the statue, because they consider it a god. This is what I heard, yes, Kyai. There was once a plague in this village, an outbreak of disease and starvation because the gardens and fields died from plant pests. Suddenly someone dreamed that they had to make offerings to the stone statue. Indeed, after it was done, the villagers began to feel the harvest, and there was no longer a plague that was troubling the village. Be that as it may, they began to often give offerings to several places around this village, and in the stone statue as well anyway," explained Derry.

"Oh so that's where the offerings started, Der?" Ask Dolmen.

"Hoooh. Mr. Kades told us about our time proker."

"I'm going on, yeah."

"Oh yes, Mr. Kyai. Please."

"It was just a satanic trick. Though the bad events that befell this village was actually because of the actions of the creature. But he deliberately did it so that the people believed that giving offerings to him, would bring good to them. This creature ate not from the offerings. Because the offerings given by residents are precisely for keroco keroconya. Because he ate something else."

"What did he eat, Kyai? Human?" Dolmen asked in surprise.

"No! The feeding time of man!" Timpal.

"Keep what dong?"

"The human soul" said Kyai.

"How is it, Kyai?"

"By possessing our subconscious mind, and making us afraid, until it ends with a dangerous action that injures lives. The more he eats the human soul, the stronger he becomes."

"Then what should we do to get rid of the creature, Kyai?" Ask Armand.

"The first thing we have to do is destroy the statue. Let's see if he'll vanish when the statue is destroyed."

"But it's okay to destroy the statue. We all know, right, that the villagers consider it sacred" Sule said.

"Yes! If we destroy it, we will be locked up in this village later!" Dolmen.

"We have to use tricks then" Armand said.

"What, Man?"

"What if I take the statue and take it away?" Ask Mr. Muh who arrived to participate in this discussion.

"No, Sir. Too dangerous. You know, right, if the creature inhabits the statue. I'm afraid that if you bring the statue, you can be wretched" said Armand.

"Really, Sir. We'll use it another way."

"You hear that?" Ask Pandu.

Everyone immediately shut up. They sharpen their hearing and the sound referred to by Pandu is heard. Sharif stepped up and peeked out of the window.

"It looks like what we're talking about is coming up" he said.

"Eh, who really?" Ask Derry.

"Gee, start again!" Add Dolmen.

"See ah!" Cetus Cendol's.

They took a peek at the conditions outside, and sure enough, if it turned out that the statue they were talking about was walking across the street in front of the house. Then he stopped right in their yard.

"Yai! He's in front!" Whisper Derry panic.

"Leave it."

Knowing that the threat was in sight, made them step aside and hide behind Kyai's body. Kyai just sat down, while continuing to recite. Pandu and Sharif also prayed. Even their voices started to sound around the room. Daniel was a part of them but never learned specifically about the subtle creatures, but he still helped by reading the Holy Quran.

The mood returned. Though they had just breathed a sigh of relief, but the threat came back. As if they would not allow them to rest.

"It's okay. There's a guard outside. He's gone" Kyai said, staring at Armand. "You invited that guard here?" Ask Kyai.

"Eh, guards? What does Kyai mean? I don't understand" said Armand

"The tiger was standing guard around this house. I'm sure it's yours, right?"

"Tiger? Oh eum, that's."

"Man, what tiger? You got khodam?" Derry asked in a whisper.

"Diem lo! There's nothing!"

"That's what Kyai means!"

"That's what it means. That's not it," elak Armand.

"Keep what?" Derry asked with a push on him.

"It's just that the tiger doesn't belong to me. Have my family. So yesterday at Goa I called him, but I don't know why he's here anymore."

"Because he knew that one of the sons of his master's descendants was in danger. I finally understand why it's after you."

"Why, Kyai?"

"Among you there is one of the descendants of someone who was displeased in ancient times. It's you, Mas Armand."

"Why me? Why me?"

"You have something unique. Which not just anyone can have. That thing is inside your body. I can now see the light. Brightest. Very bright. And that's what the creature's after."

"Kyai, that's right. I don't understand what Kyai means. What's in my body, Kyai?"

"I am confused to mention it. But it was emitting a bright light. It came from an ancestor, Mas Armand. He used to help other people, who were affected by this kind of disorder. Grandpa Buyung Mas Armand is a royal family. Right?"

"Eh yes, I think. So what does this have to do with the creature, Kyai?" Ask Armand spirit

"Mas' great-grandfather sealed the creature inside the statue."
