MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 72: THE BOOK
More than five minutes Minul waited for Mr. Ratno to urinate in the public bathroom. The public bathroom in Pomegranate hamlet is not like the bathroom in general elsewhere. In the hamlet of Pomegranate, the bathroom is generally only able to bathe, wash, and urinate, while to defecate cannot. Residents usually use small rivers to defecate. It has been done for generations in the hamlet. Therefore, in the condition of many people died like this, what is most feared by the people there is the desire to defecate at night because they are overshadowed by fear of the appearance of ghosts. Moreover, there are currently many rumors about the emergence of the spirit of Laras that disturb the villagers.
“But really long Mr Ratno urinate? Don't-Don't he pee a stone?” minul grumbled as he occasionally brushed away the mosquito that bit the exposed part of his body.
“There are so many mosquitoes here! Can bump my body if Mr. Ratno does not appear. What am I samperin, huh? Uh, ogah! What girl am I supposed to think? Although I have a crush on Mr. Ratno, but I do not want to show my feelings too much with him. It's hard for a girl like me to express my feelings first. Everywhere the guy who should shoot me. Duh, the mosquitoes are so big, here! Chubby, Sir!” mute Minul constantly.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ratno who was in the bathroom had to feel disappointment because the water stock in the available tub was very small. As a result, he must draw water first so that the water stock is enough for him to use himself. While the well is very deep more than ten meters, so Mr. Ratno takes a long time in the bathroom to urinate at once for ablution.
A gentle breeze suddenly blew around the bamboo tree in the T-junction. Minul was still faithful waiting for the arrival of Mr. Ratno in his position when Mr. Ratno left him. The gentle breeze made Minul feel a sudden chill rush into his thick skin. Minul had to lift the collar of her clothes covering her neck to slightly reduce the cold. Minul's position was standing on his back to the midpoint of the fork where he had stood in a kuntilanak costume at a time ago when he was scaring Jamila. Minul faces towards the door of the public bathroom where Mr. Ratno fulfilled his wish. His gaze continued to be directed to the public bathroom door in the hope that the public bathroom door was open and Mr. Ratno out of the place. However, the longer awaited the more does not appear also the nose of Mr. Ratno. The cold that Minul felt felt was getting bone-chilling.
“Duh, Mr. Ratno .. kok not finished-finished, anyway!” Minul is getting impatient.
The way Minul stood up began to show his sense of uneasiness. Sometimes he looked back because he began to feel uncomfortable in that place. After he checked the situation behind him turned out to be safe, again he was facing the bathroom door.
“Paaaaak .. hunted, dong!” said Minul with a little shivering sound because of the night wind.
Without Minul realizing it, behind Minul at that time there was a piece of shabby white cloth that initially lay just like that, now the white cloth rose by itself and formed a body figure. Not only that, the white cloth was currently walking from the bushes getting closer to Minul who was in a state of uneasiness. Along with blowing the breeze that blew the nape of Minul, Minul also began to feel the fur of his nape standing up. The woman wondered for herself why suddenly the fur of her nape stood up when she was not in a state of fear. Out of curiosity, Minul also touched the fur of his nape by using the surface of his hand. Sure enough he felt the ends of his nape feathers coming into contact with the surface of his hand.
“Loh, my nape suddenly stood up, huh?” ask Minul to himself.
Because still doubt Minul also tried to check his hand feathers and it turns out that Minul also felt the feather in his hand also stood up.
“Hah? How can I be creeped out like this?” say Minul slowly.
At the same time Minul sensed something was moving behind him. Slowly the woman looked back. And the white cloth that resembled a person was currently right behind Minul. After Minul managed to see the situation behind him completely, Minul said.
“Nobody is there? Maybe it is just a feeling,” said Minul while looking forward again.
Miraculously, the white cloth disappeared as Minul looked back. Minul again straightened the front view towards the public bathroom door that was still closed as a sign that Mr. Ratno had not finished using it.
A gentle breeze blew the back of Minul's body. This time Minul again felt as if someone was standing behind him. However, this time the existence of a person was much more pronounced than before. Minul this time turned his head more slowly than before. And how touched the woman was when with her own eyes, she saw a creepy face was grinning right behind her. For a few seconds the weedy woman stuttered without being able to do anything about her shock competitiveness.
“Ha-ha-haaaaaaaaantuuuuu!!!” minul shouted loudly as he ran towards the public bathroom after he found his strength back.
“Pak!!! Toloooooong!!! There is a ghost ...,” cried Minul while banging on the bathroom door that was tightly closed.
Mr. Ratno who was inside didn't really care about the voice. He thought Minul was joking.
“What are you, Nul? Wait, I want to sue you first!” replied Mr. Ratno casually.
Minul who was frightened when he became even more panicked because Mr. Ratno did not believe his words. Moreover, he saw the long-haired female ghost figure was also flying closer to him.
“Tidaaaaaak!!!” minul shouted while running away from the female ghost.
Minul continues to run but cares whether he is chased or not by the female ghost. The fat woman took all her strength to take a thousand steps towards her home. As soon as he reached his house, he hurriedly locked the door and tightly closed the curtains. His son who was watching television also rebuked him.
“What's up,Bu?” son's protest.
“Not much to say! Come on, hunt get into the room and sleep!” minul replied as she entered the room carrying her child.
Minul's eyes kept glancing all over the room. He was worried that the female ghost was following him to the room. All the prayers he said were read by Minul with fear.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ratno, who had just finished his hag, ran away from the public bathroom feeling innocent.
“Where is Minul? Why does he use me all? By the way if you really want to go home first, Nul! Do not use the reason to meet all ghosts. I will also not bother driving you home if you do not want to,” grumbled Mr. Ratno while walking towards his own house. He intended to perform Magrib prayers at his home and went to Bu Reni's house to attend a joint prayer event there.
