Magic Village
Strange Man in the Night

"Eh. Your face is ordinary! Don't make it so scary. Not good to know, we are in the middle of this forest. Andi reminded.

"He wasn't deliberately trying to scare us Andi, I think this place is a little weird." Typal Aisyah defended Rudi.

"Duh Aisyah, don't talk about it dong! If you're the one talking, we're afraid." Said Dara, suddenly she got goosebumps.

[ *°°°•••••°°°*]

Evening had changed into night, Aisyah's friends were busy wanting to set up tents outside, but Mr. Yanto did not allow them to do so, citing fear of wild animals, they instead obeyed, but he did not allow them to do so,but even more stormy because they think the reason Pak Yanto does not make sense.

"God ... Mr. Yanto is mostly for this reason!" Said a student.

"Yes, where there are wild animals in the place of kayak gini, the forest also looks clean gini."

"The moonlight is very bright, what's wrong with going down and setting up a tent outside." Another proposal again.

Seeing Pak Yanto who was overwhelmed with them, Dara told Aisyah who spoke, who knew they would listen to him, because of his habit if the beautiful who said everything would obey.

"Aisha, you should speak, pity Mr. Yanto." Dara's Proposal. Aisyah then emboldened herself to give them the right explanation and reason.

"Friends everyone, please listen carefully.!" Aisyah began to speak, just a few words she said, now all eyes have been fixed on her, it turns out that it is true that he who speaks will all listen to her, yes naturally, it is,Aisyah is an exemplary student at her school. And the most important thing is that among all her classmates, she's the only one wearing a hijab.

"What did Mr. Yanto say is right, this is for our safety, if anything happens to you who wants responsibility? They might be safe getting there, but us? We are stuck here, we have to wait until tomorrow morning, here we have only Mr. Yanto, so we have to listen to what he has to say. Aisyah spoke at length, hoping that her friends could accept well what she said earlier.

"Yes... Aisyah was right, here there is no teacher at all, so if anything happens, we can only rely on Mr. Yanto." Rudi added it.

"But Ayesha, wouldn't it be nice to set up a tent outside and we're not kids anymore!" Lucy apparently could not accept the decision they made.

"Lucy, look, I don't mean to scare you, but it's true, we're in a forest that we haven't even come to, okay about the wild beasts, we 15 of these people might be able to fight it, but what about the invisible ones? aisyah's last words made everything quiet, now they both chose to stay on the bus, no one even dared to go out, even just to shirk.

"Just try the teachers there who went with us, but they instead prefer to go with Pertiwi High School teacher, huh! No adi!." Dara looks upset.

***•••••***.           ***•••••***.

The night is getting late, all his friends are asleep, while Rudi and Andi still continue to chat, talking about things that are scary, but this is their hobby, but this is their hobby, telling scary things in the middle of a quiet atmosphere like this.

"Rudi, do you still remember what Aisyah said this afternoon, about the man in black?" Andi asked, his face looked serious, nothing like that.

"Why did you know?"

"I also saw him, and strangely enough, we did not see him again". Reveal Andi

"Then?" Rudi was curious.

"Aren't we supposed to meet them again? But this they didn't pass us at all, now the question is where are they going?" Hearing this, Rudi wanted to laugh, but he held it back so as not to disturb his friend who was asleep in the dream.

"You don't be stupid, don't! You know, they walk, can just turn to another place, here are many other roads, huhelah... The problem is in my mind." Rudi smiled funny

"Lho... who is it.?" Andi tried to clarify her vision, she saw someone passing by beside their bus.

"Who are you concerned about, An?" Rudi was curious, he also took a look out the car window with a feeling of anxiety.

"Ssttt... come with me out for a second.!" Take Andi, they walk slowly carefully enough not to wake her friends.

....*....           ....*....*.....

Aisyah just realized that her three best friends were no longer in the car, she was getting scared, wanted to wake the others, but it felt bad, they were seen sleeping soundly, he said, so he got off the bus himself without waking Mr. Yanto.

"Where are they going?" Inner Ayesha, it is silent outside even though the moon is shining brightly but still the atmosphere is creepy. Aisyah continued to step up, down the path, carrying a flashlight in her hand, she began to think that maybe here there were inhabitants, in her heart the girl was unceasingly recollecting, read prayers so that bad things don't happen.

"Where is this kid going?" The rebuke of a grandfather made Aisyah shocked.

"This grandfather, isn't he one of the few men I saw this afternoon?" Inner Aisyah.His feelings are getting more chaotic, she should not look scared.

"I'm looking for my friend's cake, it looks like they're going this way." Aisyah replied with a bad feeling.

"I know me...

"Bah Joko why is she here?" Someone suddenly came and made the grandfather could not continue his words, from the look on his face, Aisyah could already guess that this person was not a good person.

"This is Den, my granddaughter from the city just came so I picked her up here," replied the grandfather who was called Mbah Joko, the grandfather lied? What's the reason?.

The man looked at Aisyah from head to toe, noticed like this Aisyah became uncomfortable herself.

"Yes already, I'm first, remember! Don't stay here long.!" The man's message, his gaze creepy. Aisyah still did not understand what was going on with this place, it felt like a dream.

**•••**. **•••**

The night still continued, Aisyah glanced at the clock on her wrist, still at 04:00 at dawn, but Aisyah still continued to walk in tandem with Grandpa Joko who had just met her,he did not know the reason why he had to follow the grandfather, so the grandfather said that if he really wanted his friends to survive then he had to follow him, Aisyah also followed the grandfather.

"You go in first, I want to look around!" Grandpa's orders were half whispered. This made Aisyah become even more alert, could it be that her friend was inside?

"Dad.!" Call a girl who turns out Dara, she hugs Aisyah while crying, Dara looks very scared.What really happened?

"You're here too?" Where are Rudi and Andi?" Aisyah asked, she couldn't hide her worry, when her other two friends weren't there.

"I don't know, though,

there were three big-bodied men, with strange stature taking them away, while I, I was lucky to find Joko's grandfather, and Ningsih's mother." Dara explained, she still cried feeling afraid, and worried about the state of her two friends.

"You don't have to worry so my father will be looking for your two friends, they will be fine." Said a woman, who came while carrying two glasses of drinks for the two of them. "Please drink first!" Said the woman later. Aisyah pensively for a moment, her eyes did not even blink looking at Mbak Ningsih.

"It's normal to see it." Dara nudged Aisyah's elbow.

"Eh sorry... I'm just amazed to see that this is so beautiful." Aisha answered honestly.

"You are beautiful too.!" Ningsih praised.

"Thank you, Aisyah blushed in embarrassment." But Ma'am is prettier." Added later.

"having a beautiful face is the dream of all women, but what you know, beauty does not always make us happy, I even prefer to have a substandard face alone." Mbak Ningsih.

"Why is Ningsih talking like that?" Tanya Dara, when he saw Mbak Ningsih like someone who was regretting something.

"Ah... Mbak just said what is in the heart, do not think too much, please drink the water first! It's still warm."Mbak Ningsih.
