Horror

I remembered again the horror stories that were told by senior brother in the boarding school.

Said those who have long lived in the cottage, there are some horror stories that have been experienced by some santri and santriwati.

"There used to be an akhwat who again mens bath baghda maghrib" said Kak Nana began the story.

I nodded my head slowly and seriously listened.

"If you are an automatic maghrib everyone is in the mosque praying together." continued Kak Nana.

"What else is a mens just her own, brother?" my many.

"Yes. Well, when she's bathing alone. He said that suddenly something hit him from behind. He's retarded, but there's nobody."

"Chiihhh.. Then what happened, brother?"

"He fainted."

"Nobody helped him, huh, brother?"

"none. After our prayers we went back to the cottage, then we knew that he had fainted." he explained.

"There's so much pity. Why is he being disturbed, brother?"

"Maybe it's because he's dirty, that's why the devil likes him. What's the bath baghda maghrib, not good."

"Yes yes, Brother. After that he still likes to shower Maghrib again, brother?"

"No, how dare he be alone in the cottage when the moon comes again" said Nana.

"Ra, I've been looking for it. It turned out to be in the same room, sister Nana." said Luna suddenly.

"Yes, Aura is lazy to play outside. Outside there is only sewing learning, right? Yesterday's aura wasn't on the list." I replied.

"Yes, it's just finished. Bay the way, again chat about what?" ask Luna.

"Sit's sitting here, we're discussing a spooky story" I replied.

"Huh? Spooky story?" he was shocked and widened his eyes.

"Yes, that happened here" I explained.

Then he got on the bed and sat down next to me.

"Come on Nana, continue the story." I asked Nana.

"There was also once a lazy prayer congregation in the mosque. If you have entered prayer time, he is still relaxing in the cottage." said Kak Nana.

"Aren't you rebuked by Uti, brother?" ask Luna.

"No, the rules were not as strict as they are now" he replied. "She said she'd wake up at night, probably around 2. He heard the sound of people praying in the corridor." he continued.

"Oh, maybe there is another tahajud prayer, brother." I said.

"No. No one prays tahajud in the corridor. But he heard a lot of people say 'Aamiin' at the same time, like a lot of people who are performing congregational prayers" said Kak Nana.

"Ih, it's also scary for our cottage" said Luna.

"Occasionally, maybe a warning for him to be diligent in praying together." explained Kak Nana.

"What other story is there, brother?" my many.

"There's something going on at the son's cottage" he replied.

"Who, Brother?" ask Luna.

"People have graduated, they don't live here anymore" replied Nana.

"She's disturbed how, brother?" my many.

"He wanted to pray tahajud in the mosque. He woke up in the same room as him. Said the minister first, later followed." said Kaka Nana.

After that, Nana grabbed her bottle and sipped it a few times. Luna and I are still waiting for the continuation of the story.

"Well, after he took the ablution water, he went straight to the mosque. Arriving at the mosque he immediately prayed, he felt at the back like there were people following his prayer movement. He thought it was his friend who was behind." continued Nana.

"It's not true, brother?" ask Luna.

"That thing ain't scared, brother?" manya curious.

"At first he was scared, but he thought he was behind. Uh, after finishing the greeting, he looked back at no one. Run straight back to the son's cottage."

"What's the victory, brother?" my many.

"The queen is still asleep. Hahaha." said Kak Nana and laughed. "But if the word ustadz, it's a good genie who participated in praying with him" he continued.

"If I were him, it would not have been the prayer from the beginning" said Luna.

"Yes, Lun. Hehehe." I said grimly.

"If tahajud prayer is like that. There must be a temptation, which makes us still want to continue praying or not."

"Never?" ask Luna.

"Never really. But there used to be roommates Brother who was always seduced." he replied.

"In goda??" my many.

"Yes, I salute him. Every time she prays tahajud alone, there are women who look at her when she prays. As he sat between two prostrations, the woman always appeared at the end of her alphabet. He was ordinary, continuing his prayer until it was over. After the prayer, the woman left. Her faith is strong, right?" obviously, Nana is long.

"Yes, brother." I replied.

"I salute you very much" said Luna.

"Yes, if it's Big Brother, it must have run away. Hurmm." said Sister Nana.

"It turns out there are many spooky things here" I said.

"Yes, make it a lesson."

"Well, sister." said I and Luna simultaneously.

I've heard the lecture of an ustadz, at that time there was a maulid event in the pesantren.

Ustadz said, there used to be santri in the son's cottage who could see the subtle makhkuk.

Whenever anyone got drowsy upon hearing the lecture, he must have laughed.

When asked by ustadz, he said someone was sitting in the eyes of the man, so he became sleepy.

I was introspection, I was also sleepy when listening to lectures, lest there be a devil sitting in my eyes. Abaghfirullah!!

"Kurukk.!" my stomach is sounding. It's been a throwback to the pesantren.

"Mom, have you eaten, Mom?" ask my mom who is watching television.

"Yet, I'm not hungry. My sister ate first." replied Mom.

"Yes, Mom." I said. Then I went to the kitchen to get my dinner. Tonight I eat my own food, hehe.

After I finish eating, I help Mom close the stall. The buyer is no more.

It didn't feel like 10 p.m. My eyes already feel heavy, but still want to surf in cyberspace.

"Tin!!" there is an incoming message in the green application.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ra." fill in the chat on behalf of Icha.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Yes, Cha." I reply.

"What's up, Ra? Not sleepy yet?" ask Icha.

"Againly lying on the bed, the eyes are quite heavy, hehe." I replied frankly.

"Oh that. Icha want to say something, can't you?" ask again.

"Yes, Cha. Just say that." I replied.

"It's about Rizky" he wrote.

"Huh? Rizky?" my inner. I haven't heard from him in a week.
