MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
PART 2 SMELL SOAP YU DARMI

I walked out of the room to the kitchen. It doesn't feel good for me if I have to let the mothers cook, while I as the host even lie down.

"If they need anything how?" my thinking.

Once in the kitchen I saw all the dishes were ready to be served. Ms. Mimin was baking rice into dishes and then lined up in amben. While Bu Titi who scoops the sauce. They both looked at me, though,

"Are you awake, Ma'am? Is it okay?" ask Bu Mimin.

"That's fine, Mother." I answered while holding back the pain in the head.

"If you are still ticklish, you are brought to sleep. Don't worry about the kitchen, it's done." Answer Ms. Mimin

"Yes, Sister Sin. It's all done." Add Bu Titi.

"If brought to bed, add dizziness, Ma'am. It's good to make a move later it must have said it yourself." Reply assured.

I took the space next to the two of them, and then I took over the plate, so that Bu Mimin just touched the rice.

"Mbak Sin, Yu Painem had no nongol loh starting this morning. Even though his house is attached to the same wall as Yu Darmi" reported Bu Titi.

"Maybe he's not feeling well anymore, ma'am. His name is also a bit old" I asked

"But anyway, Ma'am. Who died the right neighbor. It should be put at home." Titi ngeyel's

"If it collapses here, will Mother Titi want to nolongin?" godaku to Bu Titi

"OHRRH, Mommy. If Yu Darmi sich is still mending despite judes, but the person is sad. What if Yu Painem ... JIJAAAAAY! .., Sister Sin!" replied Ms. Titi with her expression.

Me and Bu Mimin were amused at the expression of Bu Titi. Yu Painem is indeed famous for being slovenly among the citizens here. So dirty, if there is a kendurian in musholla, thanks to Yu Painem is always memorized and no citizen wants to receive blessings from Yu Painem.

After another good conversation with the two of them suddenly the smell of soap Yu Darmi's corpse again gushed in my nose. I who had forgotten a little by chatting with Bu Titi and Bu Mimin again remembered that I still had to deal with mystical things. Both of my eyes automatically glanced left and right to check where Yu Darmi's spirit would appear.

When what I'm looking for isn't in front of me. My feelings grew alarmed, lest Yu Darmi be behind me. Imagining this I became horrified, but Sinta was not his name if he did not have high curiosity. I slowly turned my head to look back, equal by equal. I do it with a jumbled sense of fear and curiosity. Every degree of rotation of my neck I swept the scenery behind my body. Until my head turned back, Yu Darmi's spirit was nowhere to be seen, but suddenly someone was holding my arm.

"ASTAGFIRULLLAH." I was surprised

"Why are you muters of the head like that, like a sawanen?" Said Mrs Mimin

"Eh, anu Ma'am. Ordinary ... stretch the neck, let it not be stiff" I replied pretending

"Oh"

The smell of Yu Darmi's soap was still so sharp that it pierced my nose, but strangely the sinister figure was not around me.

"It's not usually like this. Is this a sign that the influence of the tea of the dead has begun to disappear? Not a day yet? I don't know." my inner

"Alhamdulillah, Sister Sin. The rice and sauce are ready, the side dishes are installed out of Maghrib just afraid of being eaten by cats, if the sauce is installed later just pray to stay fresh." Said Bu Mimin later

"I want to stretch also ah, like Madam Sin earlier" said Bu Titi while turning his body left and right. You freak, he did it while he was shaking his mouth. Mimin and I couldn't help but laugh at the woman's ridiculous behavior. The more noticed, the behavior of Bu Titi increasingly becomes. Still with his mouth, he no longer turned his body to the left and to the right like a gymnastics trainer, but also up and down.

"WUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.." My screams were loud because before I screamed, I laughed out loud. Automatic scream sound produced as loud as my laughter.

The two women in front of me became anxious. Ms. Titi stopped her action suddenly surprised by the sudden sound of my scream.

"What's up, Sister Sin?" mama Mimin grabbed my arm.

How can I not scream loudly, when his tickle saw the body language of Ms. Titi, suddenly the spirit of Yu Darmi appeared behind Mbak Titi. Complete with cotton rolls in his nostrils. Both of his eyes were looking straight at me.

"What's up, Ma'am?" ask Mimin back.

Yu Darmi was still staring at me with a blank look. I tried to calm myself down by looking the other way.

"I'm okay, Min. It was just a sudden my stomach hurt" I replied pretending to hold my stomach.

Yu Darmi's spirit was no longer behind him, the smell of corpse soap was also no longer smelled.

"No, Ma'am. I'm it's okay. If my stomach is full, it hurts. I'm sorry, ma'am, it's been a shock to both of you." Answer me back

I can't tell the truth to the two of them, because if they find out the truth, they won't help me anymore. Even the other mothers who have come to help are guaranteed not to come back the next day. Poor Yu Darmi if not prayed by the neighbors.

"Ojo keep ngetok-ngetok, Yu. (Don't keep showing up, Yu)" I cried in my heart

"Bak Sin, I'm taking a shower?" mba Titi

"I want to go home too, Madam Sin" said Mbak Mimin

I can't possibly keep them here, but the kitchen work is done.

Adhan from musholla. My husband rushed towards the bathroom to leave and went to the musholla. I ran after her while grabbing the towel and soap I happened to bring from home.

"Loh, Brother. Replace to. Mas keburu want to pray worshipers in musholla" protested my husband

"No, I just have to wait for a shower. We pray here only" I replied

"Yes. But you're outside first, Mas wants to wudlu."

"Now. We are both inside."

I immediately took off my clothes and took a shower in front of my husband.

"I'll just wait outside, brother."

"Stop! If you go outside, I also want to go out wearing no clothes"

My husband is afraid of my silly threats.

"Slow baths, Dik. My shirt will be wet with water."

"Replace, no problem."

"You're all there, brother. Cook the dead brother alone fear."

"This one, don't talk about it. I don't like it."

Back I smelled soap, thankfully not the smell of Yu Darmi soap.

After bathing accompanied by my husband, I pulled my husband to Yuli's room to accompany me to change clothes and pray there. I have permission to go to Yuli to use her room while here.

After the maghrib male neighbors who will join me began to arrive, I deliberately stayed in front while cleaning the carpet and avoid being alone in the kitchen. When Ms. Mimin and Ms. Titi came by the side door, I walked into the kitchen to catch up with them.

"The middle hallway is dark, Sister Sin. The lamp needs to be turned on!" said Bu Titi while putting the side dish on the rice dish.

"Yes, Sister Sin. Livedin the lights so it looks twin. Who knows if there will be a neighbor who wants to cross that road.!" said Bu Mimin.

I also walked towards the switch that was located near the side door.It turns out true said the two of them, the hall next to Yu Darmi's house looks very dark. The door was deliberately left open as access for the mothers who would come to visit or help. There is a small garden there with a rocking chair that the deceased used to embroider while filling his free time.

The position of the switch is on the outside wall of the house, so when the door is open, the switch is behind the door. Notabene I have to go out first and pull a little open door perfectly. I did that. In my present position, I could not see the two women who were preparing food in the kitchen because of the wall obstruction.

FLECKISH

The atmosphere of the middle hallway which was once pitch dark, now became brightly lit. However, my body became heavy instantly, the smell of corpse soap returned piercing. There was a body suddenly wrapped around my body, his hands against my neck. My feeling was strong saying it was the spirit of Yu Darmi but somehow my head reflexively turned towards the right. Justright. Yu Darmi's pale face was clearly plastered in my eyes, complete with cotton blockage in both nostrils.

I shouted with all my might, but my voice suddenly disappeared. While my muscles like losing energy to escape from the strand of Yu Darmi.
