Magic Village
The Same Dream

"Maybe we're in another world?" Dara asked, her head lying on her head staring at Aisyah.

"Don't think that's not ah, serem knows!" Aisyah.

They both sat weakly on the damp ground.

"It's real, we're not dreaming. Then last night, how do you explain it?" Aisyah's mind went awry. How can they be by the river, and why no one is looking for them when it is daytime.

"Well, we should just go home, Mother Ningsih the same as the others must be looking for us." Dara.

Dara rushed to get up while cleaning the dry leaves that were stuck behind her back.

"We'll sit here, Dar, come back later." Aisha had no intention of leaving the place.

"What are you afraid of, linger in this place?"

"I'm more afraid of being at Grandpa Joko's house." Answer it frankly.

"You mean?" Aisyah's words made Dara curious.

"From yesterday Mbak Ningsih and Grandpa Joko were acting strangely. Didn't you notice?"

"No, I don't feel anything strange about them."

"The way Mbak Ningsih looked at Denis was also strange, making me curious until now. And it looks like Ningsih's keeping something from us." Aisyah began to guess.

"Then anyway? Are you suspicious of Ningsih?"

"I'm starting to feel like there's something weird about Ningsih and Grandpa Joko." Said Aisyah while throwing small rocks into the river.

"Where is this weird?"

"You don't remember when Grandpa said he didn't want to get close to Ki Dani's men?" Aisyah asked hoping that Dara would still remember her.

"Yes, I remember!"

"Well, back on the bus, I saw Grandpa walking around with people dressed all in black, and those were his confidants Ki Dani. So, I said it to myself with us, if he has nothing to do with Ki Dani." Aisyah told me

Dara was more dizzy thinking about those unreasonable things.

Aisyah turned her head to look up at the sky.

The once clear sky was suddenly shrouded in black clouds.

"The sky looks cloudy Dar, we should go straight home."

"Yes, I agree! I'm also very curious about last night. I'd like to ask you all the same, Madam Ningsih and Grandpa Joko."

"There's nothing you can ask them, I'm sure you won't get the answer from Grandpa and Mbak Ningsih." Aisyah seemed so sure of her words.

"We won't know the answer before trying Aisyah, hurry up and get hot."

"I'm still wondering Dara, why are we here."

"Think at home, now we'd better go home first." Dara was already impatient, she pulled Aisyah's arm so that the girl immediately got up from her seat.

*****

"As soon as they got home, they went inside to see how things were going at home.

"Mbak Ningsih, you don't know...

"Well, can you guys go home empty handed like this? Didn't you guys make sugar at Bi Minah's place." Not finished Dara said, Mbak Ningsih directly cut it.

Dara and Aisyah looked at each other not understanding the intent of the woman's words.

Dara intended to explain what had happened to them last night, until finally when they woke up they were already at the edge of the river. But Aisyah prevented it, gesturing by nudging Dara's elbow.

"We're confused Ma'am, don't know where Bi Mina's stall is." That Aisha answered

"Yes already then, then Mpa asked to buy it with Grandpa." Mba Ningsih.

He turned his body and returned to the kitchen, while Aisyah and Dara entered their room in an erratic mood.

"What is Ayesha, why is it like this? Dara sobbed, she couldn't bear to not cry.

"Mbak Ningsih said he told us both to buy sugar, and that means when we're not home..." Aisyah did not continue, she looked at Dara with cold sweat that began to wet her forehead.

"There are other beings who take our place." Dara continued, clarifying what Aisyah wanted to say.

"Dear,From!" Call Mbak Ningsih.

The two girls immediately came out to meet the call of Mbak Ningsih.

"Kok you guys in the room anyway? Is that what you told me you're done?" Ask Mbak Ningsih.

They did not immediately answer, now their views are focused on the plastic bag held by Mbak Ningsih.

"Where did you just go?" Ask Dara

"Bi Minah's stall, buy sugar with salt." Reply Ma'am Ningsih.

Mbak Ningsih frowned, feeling something strange about Dara's question.

Dara and Aisyah felt that everything was becoming increasingly unreasonable.

Who were they talking to? And who is in front of them now?

The momentary silent atmosphere. A cold aura enveloped.

"Aisha,dara! Come help Ma'am!"

There was the sound of Mbak Ningsih from the kitchen calling them.

Dara held Aisha's hand tightly. In the kitchen there is Mbak Ningsih and in front of them there is also Mbak Ningsih.

The woman in front of them smiled.

"Aaaa....

They scream hysterically.

The atmosphere that was light became pitch-black.

"Astaghfirullah's...

Aisyah woke up from her sleep, she rubbed the sweat on her face.

"God is only a dream." Said Dara, she also woke up. They seem to dream the same thing.

"Why are we in this forest again?" Aisyah was very surprised when she realized that they were in the forest in her dream.

"Dad, maybe it's a dream too." Lirih Dara's.

What happened to Aisha and Dara?
