MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 100: DINNER
Bu Nisa glared at the female figure as she was surprised.
“This is me ..” said the woman innocently while tying her newly unraveled hair.
“Eh, Mother .. Sorry,” replied Ms. Nisa was wrong.
“You need not be afraid! Although this house is not as luxurious as your home, as long as you are in this house you and your family are safe. Don't be so parnoan!” replied Grandma Galuh.
“I-iya, Mom. I'm sorry,” Miss Nisa replied shyly.
He realized that at that time his mother Jatmiko was reading his heart which was indeed feeling scared.
“Already, let's have dinner! So that you do not lose energy to deal with anything later,” invite Granny Galuh.
“Iya, Mom,” replied Bu Nisa by lowering her head.
Galuh's grandmother also walked first to leave the dividing room towards the back of the house. The three people behind followed the path of Grandmother Galuh. In the corner of the room they saw Jatmiko sitting on a chair facing a rectangular table made of teak wood.
“Bring your son into that bathroom! The water is not there, you can use drinking water supplies in the bucket,” Grandma Galuh orders which of course again surprised Bu Nisa and Mr. Ade.
“I-iya, Bu ...,” says Bu Nisa stammeredly.
Miss Nisa and Mr. Ade also took Revan to the damaged bathroom. Ms. Nisa took water from the bucket in the corner of the room to take to the bathroom. While Mr. Ade took Revan to the unused bathroom.
“Yes Lord!” Miss Nisa screamed in surprise.
“What's up, Dik?” ask Mr. Ade from the bathroom.
“A-there are female voices from behind the wall, Mas!” sahut Bu Nisa while retreating slowly from the bucket located in the corner of the room.
“Not to be afraid, Nduk! Barrels won't be able to get into this house. It will only scare you from outside the house. The more you fear, the more he will scare you. You have to fight it!” granny Galuh said while sitting next to Jatmiko.
“But, Bu-“ replied Bu Nisa with fear.
“You have to fight your own fear if you do not want this night you will be bullied by the woman!” granny shouted loudly enough.
“I-iya, Mom,” replied Bu Nisa by venturing forward to take the water in the bucket using an old ash-colored swing.
Aarrrrrgh ….
That was the voice heard by Ms. Nisa, but she tried to brave herself against her fear. And finally he managed to take water from the bucket and was taken to the bathroom to use Revan wash his face.
“You okay, Dik?” ask Mr. Ade.
“Mother why?” revan asked when he saw his mother's terrified expression.
“It's okay, Revan,” replied Bu Nisa while stroking her son's hair.
“You should immediately tell the child, so that the child is also on alert!” granny shouted from her seat.
“What's the truth, Mom?” ask Revan again.
Ms. Nisa and Mr. Ade were getting more panicked with the question of their child.
“You wash your face first, yes! After this mom explained everything,” said Bu Nisa while telling her son to wash his own face.
Revan washed his face cleanly. After that, he joined his father and mother to walk to Jatmiko and Grandma Galuh. Revan sat flanked by Mr. Ade and Ms. Nisa.
“You better explain now to your son, Nduk!” tell Grandma Galuh in a softer voice.
“Iya, Mom,” said Bu Nisa while looking at her son.
Revan waited for his mother's explanation with anxious expectation.
“Revan still remembers the ghost Revan met in the hospital?” tanya Bu Nisa started the conversation.
“The aunt's ghost?” ask Revan.
“Iya. He's a bad ghost. He will hurt Mom, Revan, and Mr.”, said Ms. Nisa with sadness.
Revan and all the people in that place listened carefully to the words of Ms. Nisa. They realized that among them, it was Bu Nisa who was able to explain to Revan according to the age of the child.
“Tonight the ghost will bother the three of us again. The more we fear, the more powerful the ghost will be to scare us. But, if we dare and do not consider the disturbance of the ghost then the power of the ghost will be weak”, said Ms. Nisa.
“What was it like when Revan followed the same fast as Ibnu? If you remember the food then the hunger will come, but if I bring play, then it is not time to open?” ask Revan.
“Pinter. Exactly like that. And as long as the three of us are inside this house, we will be safe from the ghostly disturbance because this house has been fenced by Om Jatmiko and Granny Galuh. So, Revan doesn't have to be afraid of the ghost. If that ghost is bothering Revan tonight, Revan knows what to do?” ask Miss Nisa.
“Iya. Revan will think of another right. Revan wants to think about Revan toy cars and also think of Ibn Ibnu,” replied Revan intelligently.
“You are indeed smart, Son!” ms. Nisa answered while hugging her son who was sitting next to her
Galuh's grandmother who was in front of Ms. Nisa gave a code to Ms. Nisa to explain all the events that might happen tomorrow night, but Miss Nisa used sign language to Grandma Galuh that tonight she explained enough to Revan. There is still tomorrow morning to tell everything to his beloved son.
“Now it's time to eat!” invite Jatmiko who resuscitates the daydreams of everyone in that place.
They ate the food as if it was their last dinner. After finishing dinner, Grandma Galuh conveyed something to Miss Nisa and Mr. Ade. Ms. Nisa gave her phone to Revan to distract her only child.
Before continuing the conversation, Grandma Galuh threw something around the room while casting a spell. There was a scream outside the house. Ms. Nisa and Mr. Ade were confused by what they saw.
“Nak Ade .. Nduk Nisa .. Don't be afraid! Just now I fenced the double of this house so that the ghost did not hear what we will talk about,” said Galuh Granny.
Mr. Ade and Ms. Nisa just bearded to hear Grandma Galuh's answer. In their hearts they admired Jatmiko's mother's devotion and were convinced that Jatmiko's mother would be able to eliminate the ghosts of Laras from their lives.
