MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 6: SUSPICIOUS
It turns out that Nur's bad habits do not change, namely sleeping with the head covered with a blanket or commonly referred to as adequacy if in my area.
"What the hell, Mom, why bother people sleeping?" ask my son with an annoyed expression.
"Eeee .. is okay, Nur. You are if sleep does not need enough why, anyway?" answer's pretend.
"Yes-Yes. There you have been, Mom! Nur tired of going to sleep, tomorrow there are many activities at school," replied my son while tilting his body to the right and fixing his blanket, so as not to cover his head again.
On the one hand I was annoyed with Nur for still sleeping adequately like that, but on the other hand I was happy because my guess was right, that someone outside the door that resembles my son is a creature. I wanted to tell Nur about the strange creature in front, but heard the story that he was very tired and needed a break to prepare for tomorrow's activities at school, I also ignored my intention to convey to my son.
I walked away from Nur who was asleep. Not forgetting before leaving her room, I pressed the light switch in Nur's room to turn off her room lights. Slowly, I closed my son's door. I intended to go to my husband who was asleep earlier while peering at a strange figure in front of the house. My husband is no longer in that chair.
My heart was beating so hard. My breath became irregular. The fear went back to my chest.
"Yyyyyyyyyy ... Maaaaaaaas ...," I cried calling my husband's name.
No word heard. I looked around the living room, but there was no one there. Confusion and fear are getting worse. I slowly stepped into my room while still calling my husband's name.
"Yyyyama ... Maaaaaaas ..."
But I have not heard from my husband. I finally got to my room. To be honest I was still afraid to go into my room, and I wasn't sure my husband was already in the room. So, from that place I circulated my gaze towards the dining room that was in front of me. Again I saw no one there. I had no choice but to go in and check my room. I slowly pulled the doorknob of the room and pushed it inside. My chest is deflated by fear.
"Maaaaaaaas .." I cried back to my room.
My heart seemed to stop beating at that moment because suddenly there was a hand holding my hand.
"What, Sister?" the voice of the owner of the hand that appeared from behind the door of the room.
"Astagfirullah!!!" I screamed in shock.
"Why are you so scared, brother?" ask my husband again.
"Mas Diki, suddenly appeared. Mas Diki fell asleep in the living room. Suddenly it just disappeared," I replied.
"So I suddenly woke up because of the kebelt. I saw you again in Nur's room. I turned off the television, went to the bathroom for a while, and hurriedly went into the room to continue sleeping. Just going to bed, I heard you calling, yes I came out. Not that you were standing at the door" replied my husband lightly.
"Other times if you want to hold the hand of the person first love the news, so that the one held is not surprised," I replied.
"Ooooh? Come on in the room first, yuk! It's good to talk in the middle of the door like this. It's night after all, the neighbors will be distracted by our chatter" my husband replied, pulling my hand into the room.
Mas Diki closed and locked the room door from the inside, while I had gone up to the top of the bed to prepare to knit a dream. After locking the door, Diki stepped onto the bed and said, "Dik, if you want to kiss you, what should I say first?"
I smiled at my husband's silly words. And that night I was not scared anymore.

The next day, while driving my husband and son in front of the front door, I said to my husband, "Mas, I'm going with Mas, yes, to the market?"
Diki replied, "No need, Dik! You're at home. I saw the laundry piling up in the bathroom. Pity Nur that the uniform hasn't been washed" my husband replied.
"But, Mas ...," I replied.
"But why?" ask husband.
"Did Mas Diki not feel weird about our new neighbor?" I said while glancing towards the house of Mr. RW. Either by chance or not, when I glanced towards the house, I was like seeing the old grandmother peeking at me from behind the window curtain. It made me cry instantly.
"How weird, Dik? I see him as mediocre. You are too parnoan, so always think negatively about our new neighbor. Try to follow my advice! Later, after you do your homework, try to visit the new neighbor's house! Bring some food for our neighbor. Remember!!! Don't know then don't love" whispered my husband in a sigh.
"I-Yes, Mas," I replied while nodding
I don't know why I was hypnotized by my husband's words. I, who was thinking strangely at first with the new family, suddenly came to believe in my husband's words.
"Maybe true my husband said. I was too parno, so I did not see the kindness of the new neighbor. All I see is the ugliness" I said in my heart.
Mas Diki and Nur left me alone at home with my positive thoughts. I was very enthusiastic about doing homework, ranging from sweeping, mopping, washing clothes, watering plants, even to feed the Empus I did not miss. The housework was all done I did at about ten in the morning.
After taking a bath I remembered my husband's message earlier, which was to visit Clara's house with food. I also prepared a meal that I will bring to Clara's house. Rejected bananas and sticky rice I put in the bushel of my mother's legacy. After using the negligee I just bought yesterday, I also left for Clara's house.
I walked into Clara's house full of enthusiasm and excitement like someone who wanted to visit her new neighbor's house. However, when I was five meters in front of Clara's house, there was a breeze blowing breezy that suddenly made my hair back goosebumps. My originally light steps suddenly became very heavy. The RW sir house ornaments that look outdated also add to the bitterness in my chest.
"What's going on with me? Who is Clara really? That old granny is also Clara's family?" ask me to myself.
