MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
PART 18: NIGHTMARE
Fery thought for a moment, then he started telling stories.
"I dream Mom is in front of a door. Behind that door was a long hallway. Mom entered the door, but a few steps later she turned around. Unfortunately, he could not get out the door anymore. He was trapped in it, he was screaming Bulik's name," said Fery brief, solid, and clear. It definitely got me thinking. How not, I think the dream of the youngest son Yu Darmi is like describing what I am experiencing right now. These few days, the spirit of Yu Darmi terrorized me, until I was parno and afraid to stay alone during the day, especially at night. And my fear was not without reason, but the spirit of Yu Darmi actually appeared, and appeared again.
"You two should always pray for your Mother so that her spirit is calm in nature there" I said.
"Yes, Bulik." they answered compactly.
"Well, Bulik and Paklik go home first huh? Siti You nginep here is okay already, as well as accompany Yuli and Fery. You can sleep with Yuli." I'm saying.
"Mother, Nur Permit nginep here, would you like to sleep with Mas Fery?" chirps Nur suddenly.
"Well, that? Yes, then Bulik and Paklik nginep all here," I said spontaneously.
"Horeeee," cried Nur happy because it was desirable to stay and sleep with Fery.
Again I had to sleep in the living room accompanied by Mas Diki. And again Mas Diki snored first before I slept. I also pushed into Mas Diki's arms out of fear. When I was trying to sleep, the lights suddenly went out. And in a semi-conscious state, I faintly heard someone's voice.
[Siiiin, thank you. I'm pamiiiit]
The voice rang for several times in my ear. I don't know whose voice was ...
*
For the first time, I wasn't bothered by spirits. Even while sleeping in Yu Darmi's house next to Yu Painem's house which was found began to rot this morning in his room. It's just that last night I had a dream about the friendship of Yu Darmi and Yu Painem. Surprisingly, in my dream it was almost the same as what Yuli told me. Yu Darmi brought food to give to Yu Painem who was sick. My dream continued, in my dream Yu Darmi was also sick but still had time to deliver food to Yu Painem's house. The pain that Yu Darmi suffered was getting worse, there was me and Mas Diki who came to visit Yu Darmi at his home. Me and Mas Diki took Yu Darmi to the hospital, Yu Darmi could not speak. He seemed to want to say something, but not understood by me and Mas Diki. In the next scene of my dream, it appears that Yu Darmi died and a few moments later Yu Painem also died in a different place. I was jerking from my sleep.
"Yes God ... Is this dream a reality? If so, other than being sick meant that Yu Painem died of starvation? Astagfirullah ... I'm sorry Yu Painem, if I had known it wouldn't have been this ...,"
I cried sobbing at the pain and hunger suffered by the neighbor Yu Darmi.
"So who whispered last night, said thank you to me? Thanks for what reason? From his voice sich I memorized it correctly, it was a sound ... Yu Painem's. Yes, it was Yu Painem's voice, but was his spirit also bothering me the same as Yu Darmi's spirit? But why did he say goodbye to me too? Or maybe, after being found and buried, Yu Painem's spirit had rested quietly? I hope so. It is not strong if I have to be disturbed by the spirit of Yu Darmi and the spirit of Yu Painem."
The seventh day of Yu Darmi's death, Yu Darmi's house looks crowded like never before. Maybe because of the presence of two children Yu Darmi whose souls are fused with this house so that this house which was originally rather haunted, looks more alive with their existence.
"Bulik, last night Bude Painem came into my dream" said Fery.
"Oh yeah? What did he say, Fer?" I asked.
"Not saying anything, Bulik. He just looks like he's standing at the door, just like Mom's. Just bude Painem looks in, straight into the hallway, not looking around anymore," continued Fery.
"May it be a sign, he has rested in peace, Fer" I replied.
Mas Diki joined us followed by Yuli.
"Which one, Yul? Is he not awake yet?" I asked.
"I think so, Bulik. Even earlier than me, Bulik. Last morning around two o'clock, Madam Siti got up and went out of the room, I thought she was going to the bathroom. I continued my sleep, when I woke up to morning prayers, Ms. Siti was not in the room. Maybe he was jogging or shopping for vegetables in the front alley," replied Yuli.
"Oooo, yes maybe. Yes already then Bulik want to make tea first in the kitchen, please look around? Bulik is not usually alone because of it," I said.
"Belik is afraid of being haunted by Mom, huh?" cetus Yuly.
"Hus, don't go. Your mother's cooking as a ghost?" answer lied.
"Who said, Bulik. At the boarding house, at midnight I woke up, suddenly Mom was sitting on the bed, I finally did not wake up because of fear" Fery told.
"Ah, maybe it's just your hallucination" I replied.
"But the real kayak, Bulik. I got to parno so, I took my friend to sleep in my boarding room too," replied Fery.
"Therefore you must pray a lot so as not to be disturbed by the jinn" I said while thinking.
"I'm also actually bullied by your mother's ghost, Fer. But I can't possibly tell all of you this, I don't want you to be so scared and sad, nor do I want Yu Darmi's good name to be broken,"
I walked slowly leaving the living room towards the kitchen. My steps suddenly came to a standstill when I reached Yu Darmi's room. The key slot of Yu Darmi has been replaced by a new one so it is not damaged anymore. I stopped my steps because I sneaked I heard Yu Darmi's bedroom door being hit from the inside. At first it was slow, then it was getting harder.
[Dak .. dak .. dak]
"O Lord, who is inside? Is Yu Darmi's spirit going to bother me again, in front of her children?"
I didn't make that sound, but suddenly I heard a voice coming from behind the door. A voice that surprised me and my family who were chatting in the living room.
"What's that sound, brother?" ask my husband while he walks over to me. Nur and Yu Darmi's two children tailed behind my husband. My husband put his ear on the door leaf of Yu Darmi's room. Yuli and Fery seemed to gasp with the behavior shown by Pakliknya. Mas Diki was still sticking his ears when suddenly the door was knocked hard from the inside.
[Dak .. dak .. dak]
"Astagfirullah!!!"
