Life With Ghost
Chapter 9's

Chapter 9's

After arriving home, I immediately crumpled myself on the sofa. It feels comfortable now. Like I just got out of jail.

"Bu, Jenar is sleepy. Jenar wants to sleep in the room, yeah..! " said Jenar weakly.

He seems to need enough rest. Sekar also went inside, following his older brother. He also looks very tired.

Mas Damar and I chose to meet for a while in the living room. Long time ago we didn't spend time together.

"How, Mas. We're going to get Sekar into which school? " ask me while leaning against the chest of my husband's field.

While his hands, busy stroking my son's hair behind the ears.

"There are still two more schools that we haven't been to. It's a long way away, but that's okay. At least it can be reached from here! " answer Mas Damar.

"Alright, Mas. We try our best. Although Sekar's brain is smooth, but if you do not have a diploma, free too! " i said shiver.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry. Everything will be fine. After this, we will teach Sekar to live a normal life like the others. We'll teach him to ignore whatever he sees"

I just nodded, confirming Mas Damar's words. Although the taste was difficult, understanding what Mas Damar said.

Just imagine, the figure we see from before the eyes, asking for help. Or even talk, which we can ignore.

Those subtle creatures are just like us ordinary humans. Wandering around, doing activities, it's just that they don't have a purpose like we humans do.

Some tried to ask for help, but did not get help. There are also those who like to disturb humans because they do not have a job. Yeah, that's how they are.

Living side by side with the invisible, makes us have to be ready anytime and anywhere to get interference from them.

Whatever it is, believe it. We have a God who will always protect his people. We have a God who created them, and one of the most important things.

Our degrees, above them. What is our reason to fear them?

Not felt, the day has gone up at night. The plan is, we'll enjoy dinner outside today. Long time I don't think he spent time together.

Mas Damar and the children also agreed. They are also preparing at this time.

"Come, Mom. We're leaving, now! " Excited Jenar who was very impatient.

Happy to see such enthusiastic people.

The car is traveling at medium speed. The pecel lele shop is our destination tonight. Jenar who really likes sambal and lalapan, so enthusiastic to see it.

We just got out of the car, Sekar has again shown a strange lagat.

"Auu.... Auuahoo! " said Sekar as we were about to enter the tavern.

He seemed to dislike it, pulling my shirt off a head shake.

"What's up, kid? " ask me who is uncomfortable. Because many eyes are watching us.

Mas Damar crouched down, trying to get Sekar to talk softly.

"Well why? Don't like the food? " tanya Mas Damar.

Sekar shook his head, with pursed lips and a very frightened face.

His tiny hands grabbed the book he always carried everywhere.

Then he wrote the word Bismillah.

Mas Damar and I knit confused brows.

But Mas Damar followed what he said. Mas Damar took a deep breath, then said Basmalah and looked towards the pecel shop.

"Astaghfiullah! " cried Mas Damar who confused me.

"What's up, Mom? " ask me surprised.

Mas Damar budged, just stared at me briefly and then moved to carry Sekar into the car back.

I was curious, following what Sekar said earlier.

I began to take a deep breath, then said Basmalah and Istighfar three times, then began to stare towards the stall.

My eyes immediately rounded, when I saw dozens of pocongs around the stall.

Someone stepped on the food of the buyer. There are those who occupy her, there are also those who drool her into the bowl, there are also those who stand guard over her house.

All the pocongs that were there, were spooky faces with shabby, dirty shrouds, and blood spots everywhere.

I gulped down my hard-earned spit, with my accomplices beginning to shake uncontrollably. My lips even shook, when I saw one of the pocongs there, looking at me with a sharp gaze and big round eyes almost out of place.

The moment the pocong wanted to jump towards me, a tiny hand immediately pulled me inside.

"Mom, is it okay? " ask Jenar who was already sitting in the back seat.

"Ti-no, son" I replied nervously.

When this face wanted to stare in that direction again, Jenar's tiny hand immediately got in the way.

He shook his head, signalling that I would not look there again.

I said, until this car drove back I was still silent a thousand languages.

"Where are you going to eat tonight? " ask me at the end.

"Eat at home, Mom. Jenar doesn't want to eat out. Not good to see maggots on someone's plate! " Reply reply Jenar.

I just nodded. Good thing the food supply is still in the refrigerator, just cook what is there.

"My appetite's gone, too, Deck. Mas still imagined by the person who ate blood from the nose of the pocong earlier! " sahut Mas Damar shuddered.

While Sekar, he had already slept next to Jenar.

After the car pulled over, I immediately carried Sekar and put him to bed in the room. Sleep problems, Sekar is number one.

After putting Sekar to bed, I immediately went into the kitchen, started preparing food ingredients to cook potluck.

"Mom, don't cook. Jenar drowsiness! Just go to bed, I'll cook tomorrow! " said Jenar when I was just about to slice meat and vegetables.

I stared at Mas Damar, nodding as if agreeing with what Jenar said.

"If you cook, who will eat? Jenar is still traumatized by the sight! " say Jenar again.

I just smiled and answered him. Then put the vegetables and meat back in the refrigerator.

"Mas, but don't we sleep on an empty stomach? " ask me softly.

"It's okay, honey. Poor children too. Good thing I told you, otherwise, it could hurt us all!" said Mas Damar softly.

He pulled my hand into the room. Lose your body and rest.

"Honey, earlier Mas had spoken with the principal, the place that Sekar will enter. But he said he couldn't accept it. Because his students are full! " Said Mas Damar who made my heart sad again.

"But you don't have to worry, there's still one more school. Tomorrow morning we will come. Hope you get to school there! " said Mas Damar who definitely knows what I feel.

I just nodded slowly, then drowned the face in her chest.

"Honey, like her, it's time for Sekar to have a sister!" said Mas Damar with a heavy voice and like holding something back.

"What do you mean by Damar?" I answered with a smile because I knew what he meant.

"Sleep you may not know! " said Mas Damar immediately supported my body. And...

You know!
