MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 75: SHADOW
Mr. Ade took a deep breath. He never imagined that he would tell all those secrets to his own wife.
“Dik, I don't know for sure what Mr. Hartono has done to Laras, but I'm sure he was killed by his spirit Laras. The Mr. Hartono I know is a very careful person especially on the highway. There's no way midnight he's hit by a truck like that. Usually he standsby standing guard in his post at such hours,” replied Mr. Ade.
“Yes too, anyway? But, anything could have happened, Mom? As far as Mr. Hartono is also not a person who likes to play women,” protests Bu Nisa.
He almost laughed at his wife. But, if he said that Mr. Hartono was most happy to have my hand on Purel at the karaoke place, it was the same as telling his wife that he was also such a man. However, he himself did not want to look unfaithful in the eyes of his wife because that was the only mistake that his wife could not forgive. Miss Nisa is a heavyweight jealous.
“Yes, you're right, brother. Mr. Hartono is not someone who likes to play women. But I caught Mr. Hartono and Mr. Dimas fighting. The two of them were like they were fighting over Laras. And the two of them are challenging each other so. Well, all this time I also knew that the two of them were actually jealous of each other especially about my treatment of the two of them. That's one of my little friends. The other was a close friend of mine when life was difficult. But, I heard with my own ears they both like making Laras as a betting item,” Pak Ade replied seriously.
“Oh, so? But, Mas. What about our fate now. I don't want Laras to kill Mas Ade? I do not want to lose Mas Ade,” replied Bu Nisa with a whine.
“Begini, Dik! As long as you can be calm, everything will be fine. Jatmiko and her mother have given way to the mas in order to survive the threat of death Laras,” replied Mr. Ade.
“Oh yes? But, why is the spirit of Laras still roaming Mas?” asked Nisa with confusion.
“Dik, there is only one way for the mas to survive death is to exterminate the spirit of Laras,” Pak Ade replied.
“Oh yes? Can Mas Ade destroy the spirit of Laras? Mas not a shaman or kyai who has such supernatural abilities?” bu Nisa's protest was in disbelief.
“Yes, of course mas need to be helped by Jatmiko and her mother, Dik!” answer Mr. Ade flat.
“How to do, Mas?” ask Miss Nisa.
“Mas doesn't know yet, Dik. Three more days Jatmiko's mother will tell me,” Ade replied.
“What? Three more days? While the spirit of Laras just bothered me in the bathroom? If you have to wait three days will it guarantee Laras will not kill Mas Ade or us first?” the protest of Bu Nisa.
Mr. Ade smiled at his wife.
“You don't have to be afraid, brother! The barrel won't be able to touch and hurt the three of us. At least for these three days,” replied Mr. Ade in a soft tone.
“How can you say that, Mom? Lah wong just now Laras spirit has been bothering me in the bathroom until I was scared like this,” protested Bu Nisa again.
“What? So, Mas Ade has put incantations into our drinks both Why did Mas Ade do if the result was even me and Revan could see the spirit of Laras? We can both die of fear because of that,” protested Bu Nisa.
“After consuming the incantations you two can indeed see and feel the subtle creatures, but Laras cannot see and touch the three of us. The way the potion works is like that. And it will last for three days,” replied Mr. Ade.
“How does it look, Mas? Clearly the spirit of Laras was looking at me?” the protest of Bu Nisa.
“Yes, because you gave him energy with your excessive fear. That too, he could only see you faintly. He will not be able to hurt the three of us during these three days,” replied Mr. Ade.
“Oh, I mean if I am calm, then the ability to see Laras will be reduced?” ask Miss Nisa.
“Yes, that's it. So we need to stay calm. So that Laras not a bit can see us,” said Mr. Ade.
“OK, Mom. But why is Laras around us, Mas?” ask Miss Nisa.
“The power of the curious spirit is hatred or love. Baras must have hated the mas, Dik. That's why he floated around the mas are,” replied Mr. Ade.
“What should we do now, Mas? Are we far away from this town? To be honest, I can't be a hundred percent free from my fear of Laras. Especially if I am alone,” replied Miss Nisa.
“Free, Dik. According to Jatmiko's mother, wherever I go, the spirit of Laras will always follow because he recognizes the energy of his hatred for the mas. He stinks to be calm if all his grudges have been avenged and also his loved ones sincerely let go,” replied Mr. Ade.
“Mas said that I'm afraid, yes?” answer Miss Nisa.
“Not to be afraid, Sister. There is a mas here,” replied Mr. Ade while stroking his wife's hair.
Ms. Nisa enjoyed the peaceful feeling that came to her chest because she was in the arms of the person she loved the most. However, due to the lonely situation, the woman again felt afraid of Laras. His fear grew bigger and bigger. Especially when he heard the sound of water in the bathroom that he could not turn off his tap. The longer the sound of water reminded the woman of the spirit of the creepy Laras. The life against Laras more and more awakened in the woman's mind. At first the sound of water was increasingly similar to the sound of the sound of the sound of the Barrel step. And sure enough the more Bu Nisa likens the sound of the water to the sound of the crackling of the Laras steps, the more real sound is heard by Bu Nisa. And now the sound of that step was completely incarnated in the woman's ear. Starting from the bathroom, the sound of the footsteps continued to move towards the outside of the bathroom. So panicked, Miss Nisa glanced at the wall that limited the position between the cot and the bathroom. There are fears that the spirit of Laras will appear behind the wall. The worry was mounting and it was true that from behind the wall Bu Nisa saw a creepy face in white clothes stepping towards her with a sound that sounded heavy in the ears.
“Maaaaaas! Barrel coming!!!!” shouted Bu Nisa while hugging Revan and her husband tightly.
