MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 92: UNINVITED GUESTS
Azan Magrib has been reverberating from the mosque and musalla in the hamlet of Pomegranate. The one who performs Magrib prayer in the mosque and the musallah is still just that. Especially with the issue of ghosts makes some people who are accustomed to praying in places of worship think twice to go to places of worship. Finally, they chose to pray in their homes. That's one of the negative effects of the issues about the ghost.
After completing the execution of Magrib, Mr. Herman asked his wife for permission to join the congregation at the house of Bu Reni and Mr. Dimas.
“Dik, mas tahlilan at Bu Reni's house, yes?” said Mr. Herman.
Ms. Dewi looked at her husband with a heavy feeling because rarely could her husband be at home like tonight. But, however, the tahlilan event at Bu Reni's house is also important because it is a form of concern for their families to neighbors. Moreover, Mr. Herman has rarely been at home.
“You're not tired, Mas?” ask the Goddess.
“Capek a little Just, Dik. But, this is an opportunity for you to follow the tahlilan. Tomorrow we have to go to work again, Dik,” replied Mr. Herman in a serious tone.
“Ya already if Mas Herman really want to follow tahlilan, but out of the house Bu Reni directly go home do not have to stop by!” answer the Goddess.
Mr. Herman looked at his wife's eyes.
“Hm .. the plan is to pray Isya in the mosque as well as finish praying Isya mas want to join tahlilan at the house of Mr. Dimas,” replied Mr. Herman.
Madam Dewi was quite surprised to hear her husband's answer. That means Mr. Herman will leave him alone at home for a considerable duration.
“Mas? Not going home yet? Salad at home with me?” rayu Bu Dewi's.
“Dik ... mas it has long not participated in prayer worshipers in the mosque. This is not a chance mas, Dik, can gather with the neighbors to pray together? Usually if there is a mas, the people are the spirit of prayer in the mosque,” replied Mr. Herman.
“Hhh .. Yes, if that's the desire, Mom. It's nothing! After all, I've often been left alone at home,” grumbled Bu Dewi.
“Don't you say dong, Dik? This mas will want to make amends to the neighbors because for six days mas did not welcome the arrival of those who joined tahlilan at home,” rayu Pak Herman.
“Iya, Mas. I'm okay, you!” replied the Goddess Mother finally sincerely as well.
“Maxly much yes, Dik!” answer Mr. Herman.
Mr. Herman also shook hands with his beautiful wife, especially with the mukena that is still used after the prayer of worship with him.
“The page is symbolic, huh, Mas? I want to wait for Isya!” reject the Goddess.
“Loh, if the page can be canceled, sir? I've read a hadith more or less like this. Rosulullah SAW once prayed, kept the feet of Siti Aisyah blocking at the place of prostration. Every prostration, Rosulullah SAW touched his feet, but he continued to pray. Yes, right?” said Mr. Herman.
“Iya, Mas. Indeed there are some opinions of scholars related to this, but I am more inclined to who cancel the wudu. May I have a different opinion with Mas?” said Ms. Dewi.
“Ya already, cup away, dah!” said Mr. Herman while giving a distant kiss code to his wife.
“be careful on the road, Mas!” said Ms. Dewi.
“You are also careful in the same house Panji,” replied Bu Dewi.
“Iya, Dik,” said Mr. Herman.
Furthermore, Mr. Herman left the house to the house of Bu Reni, the wife of the late Mr. Hartono.
After the death of her husband, Ms. Reni also read Yasin's letter to be sent her reward to the late house of Laras and her mother and to the gravedigger Bu Dewi and Pak Herman. Because it did not come during Isya prayer, Miss Dewi went into her room to meet Panji. At that time Panji was soundly asleep on the bed. Madam Dewi felt peaceful every time she saw her adopted child fall asleep.
When looking at Panji's face, Ms. Dewi recalled the words of the two policemen who had just returned from her home a few minutes earlier.
“I believe the crime intended by the two policemen was a drug crime committed by Mr. Dimas and Mr. Ade. Where did the two policemen find Laras' identity? Shall I tell these two policemen the contents of the diary? Will it make it easier for police to uncover their crimes? But, Mr. Dimas is dead. What else to reveal? I don't want Laras to be increasingly used as a citizen's mockery. Moreover, it would hurt Panji as his son. Nah! I can't do that. But what about Mr Ade? He will be just ayem even though according to the contents of the diary written by Laras, Mr. Ade was often using drugs to smooth his business. Good Lord! What am I supposed to do? I'm confused!” The Goddess said to herself.
As Bu Dewi was busy with her own thoughts, suddenly a knocking sound came from the door outside.
Tok Tok Tok B …
“Who knocked on that door? Is it Mas Herman? But, Mas Herman didn't go out with his own keys? So, he does not need to knock on the door to just enter the house. But, if not Mas Herman, who else?” thought the Goddess Mother in confusion.
Tok Tok Tok B …
There was a knock coming from outside the door.
“Who?” shouted the Goddess from the room.
The woman did not dare to leave the room before she knew who was in front of her house.
There is no law from outside the home. The Goddess did not leave the room.
Tok Tok Tok B …
The sound of knocking on the door was getting louder and louder to make Miss Dewi become irritated.
“Who's outside? If I don't speak, I won't open the door!” shouts Miss Goddess back.
Actually Lady Dewi did not feel good to say that. He was worried that the person behind the door was one of the community leaders of Pomegranate hamlet. Surely the woman will be ashamed later, but because she is in a state of fear. So, those words were forced out of the mouth of Mr. Herman's wife.
After waiting for a few seconds, the voice of the answer was not heard. The Goddess was getting more agitated at that time. He was afraid that the man would leave because he was offended by his words. Intentions wanted to chase after the man, but what was the fear in the chest of the woman was much greater.
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
Bu Dewi was surprised because the sound of knocking on the door sounded louder and like being done with an element of emotion. Madam Goddess who heard the loud voice also became angry and wanted to curse out the person who had been banging on her door loudly.
