MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 23: FEAR
Mr. Ade all night can't sleep. He remembered the terrible condition of Mr. Hartono's body. The man also forbade his wife to turn off the room lights for fear. Several times he hid behind his wife's body when a suspicious animal was heard outside the house.
“What the hell is it, Mas? Come, sleep! You have to work tomorrow, right?” reprimand Bu Nisa.
“Dik, it seems that outside there are people,” replied Mr. Ade with trembling.
“Nobody, Mom. Come, sleep! I'm so sleepy!” bu Nisa's protest while turning her back on Mr. Ade.
“Dik, make your way here dong! I'm afraid ..” Mr. Ade's voice shakes.
“Mas this is what, anyway? Pas Laras dead feeling Mas not as scared as this? The turn of Mas's own friend who died, Mas really like a child like this? I'm also actually still afraid of being bullied Baras again, Mas. But, because all day I'm tired of helping Ms. Reni, I don't care if Laras wants to disturb or not. I'm too tired, Mas!” grouse Bu Nisa.
“Do not mention the name Baras, Dik! I'm not afraid of Hartono, but I'm afraid of Laras!” replied Mr. Ade keceplosan.
“What? Are you afraid of Laras too? Did I not hear wrong? Why is it that only now Mas is afraid of the same Laras? Yesterday-Yesterday when I was disturbed by the same barrel, Mas kayak did not care?” Ask Bu Nisa suspiciously.
“Mmm-meaning Mas was scared the same barrel after Mas remembered your story that, Dik!” replied Mr. Ade ngeles.
“Mas isn't hiding anything from me, is it?” telisik Bu Nisa's.
“Nnn-no, Dik. Suers! I'm really excited about your story Dik. That's why I'm so scared!”
“Ooooo .. but it's already night, Mas? And tomorrow we have to be active. I was originally afraid of Laras, but because there was Mas here I became brave. Is it even the time that you are afraid? Come, sleep!” said Ms. Nisa trying to calm her husband. As if there was nothing to fear.
Mr. Ade weighed the words of his wife. It is also true what his wife said that psychologically ghosts will not appear when people are not alone. However, the death of Mr. Hartono is what makes Mr. Ade afraid. He was afraid of the same fate as his close friend. Because the man believes that Mr. Hartono was killed by Laras. However, he could not say that to his wife. In fact, he wanted no one to assume that Mr. Hartono was killed by Laras. Unfortunately, a few seconds ago, he was talking to his wife. Thankfully, he is good at squirming. And it seems his wife believes in the reasons he made up.
Mr. Ade saw his wife had closed her eyes in front of him while he himself was still being played by his mind. He wanted to close his eyes like his wife, but when his eyes closed for a second, his fear yesterday appeared. One second he felt Laras was outside his house, and one second he felt Laras was in the living room, even one second he felt Laras was already in the room.
“Dik ..” call Mr. Ade on his wife.
There is no voice of law. It seems like Miss Nisa has gone deep into dreamland. Mr. Ade did not dare to wake his wife again. Besides pity, he did not want his wife to grow suspicious of him about the cause of his fear of Laras. Finally, he had to fight all night with fear alone.
Krieeeeeeeet …
Mr. Ade was not asleep, but only a few seconds closed. Because when his eyes closed, it was precisely the spirit of Laras present with a very creepy in his dream that forced Mr. Ade to wake up again with sweat pouring profusely and a sense of fear that peaked.
“Why, Mas?”Asked Bu Nisa who was surprised to hear the sound of her husband's delirium.
Mr. Ade looked at his wife's face with a puzzled look. Bu Nisa saw the look on her husband's face which was very alarming. His eyes were very tired while his body was full of sweat like someone who had just woken up from a nightmare.
“Mas nightmare, huh? Let's go to sleep again. It was just a dream,” said Ms. Nisa.
Mr. Ade answered nothing. Want him to say to his wife that he only fell asleep for a few seconds or arguably has not been asleep since. His shout just now was because the figure of Laras was present in his short dream. However, there was no point in him saying that to the woman. Even he himself will be troubled if his wife suspects all kinds of towards him.
Mr. Ade adjusted his wheezing breath. The night breeze slowly neutralized his body temperature which had heated up due to sweat. The sweat on his body was slowly mongering. The man was even more afraid to close his eyes. The clinking sound of an ancient wall clock in the living room once made him realize that it was already one night and he had been experiencing insomnia for hours.
“Yes God!!!! How should I rest? Though the project that he will handle tomorrow will be a visit from the supervisor of the company who cooperates with his CV.
Pak Ade's eyes were busy circling the room measuring 4 meters by 4 meters. He wanted to make sure that Laras wasn't there. However, when his eyes accidentally closed due to fatigue, he regained his senses and widened his eyes so that the image of the spirit of Laras does not appear in the solvent of his eyes. As a result, the man became very exhausted and his body protested what he was doing. The man's stomach also felt heartburn instantly.
“Aduh ... what the hell is this? My stomach was heartburn for a moment. Well, I can-can I snatch on the bed!”
Mr. Ade endured his abdominal pain with all his might. However, what power he against the call of nature. Because he could not stand it, he woke his wife to accompany him to the bathroom.
“Dik ... Dik .. accompany mas to bathroom!”
Miss Nisa is not flinching. It's like being in deep sleep. As hard as Mr. Ade shook his wife's body, the woman remained closed in her sleep.
“Aduh, Mak!” screeched Mr. Ade while holding heartburn in his stomach.
This time Mr. Ade was really not strong anymore to withstand that abdominal pain. The dirt seemed to be at the end. And a second later he was too late, so his shit would ruin the cleanliness of his room. Mr. Ade has no choice. He ran out of the room to the bathroom.
