MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
CHAPTER 9: MR RT
Ms. Ning looked terrified when she heard the story from me.
"Sir, is it okay?" I asked as I approached my mother.
"Sik, please get me a drink!" answer later.
I immediately took a glass of mineral water left in the mineral water basket in the middle room. After I punched the top with the tapered end of the straw, the glass of mineral water I thrust to Mbak Ning. He immediately took and sucked the contents rather strongly so that soon the mineral water in the glass was only a quarter. He became calmer and started talking again.
"Thank you, Dik Sin. That weird thing you saw last night was the same thing I saw about a month before mom died, brother," he said then with a strong enough breath ending as a sign that his heart was very worried about the thing I was telling you just now.
"Why did Sister Ning just talk now to me? Guess what that thing is, ma'am? And who put it there?" manya curious.
"Maybe it's some kind of witchcraft or something, I don't know I really understand that kind of thing. I obviously saw him a month ago. At that time my mother was asleep and Mas Vishnu was not feeling well. At midnight I compress Mas Vishnu who is feverish. Then I heard a small explosion coming from the front of the house. Out of curiosity I peeked through the window exactly as you did. As I peeked I saw in the middle of the yard there was an object that emitted smoke and there were some parts that let out a small flame then extinguished. At that time I thought there were children around here who were burning firecrackers in the middle of the night. Although it is actually a bit strange also the time of the form of such firecrackers. But, I have no other reasonable reason than to assume it was firecrackers. Before finally mother suddenly died yesterday the day after tomorrow" said Mbak Ning at length.
"Is it really as well-mannered as Sister Ning thought? Or is it just the fruit of a child's fad around here?" ask again.
"Come, Ma'am. But, the children here are usually not like that. Besides, Ikbal is very much adored by the children around here. From young children to teenagers everything is close to Ikbal. It doesn't seem possible that a child would do that" Ms. Ning argued.
"I also thought that it was the actions of robbers who tried to lure homeowners out of the house to make it easier for them to carry out robbery actions" I replied.
"It could be, too, Mother. But I do suspect that it is a witch, huh, brother? Whose other life will be taken after my mother?" cetus Maak Ning's.
"Hus! It's not good to say that. Our lives belong only to Allah SWT. No creature can take it except by Allah's permission, including Satan," he said.
"Yes, Brother. But I'm afraid it's really witchcraft trying to harm the residents of this house" he replied.
"Hm ... How is it, Ma'am, how do you make sure what that thing is?" I asked Ms. Ning.
"Hm ...," Sister Ning thought hard.
Suddenly Mas Vishnu came out of his room and said, "Isn't Mr. RT's house there CCTV? The access road to this house will certainly pass in front of Mr. RT's house. If as told by Dik Sinta just now that the ashes of the former combustion also disappeared, there must be people who seliwar-seliwer through the front of Mr. RT's house to take it."
We were both stunned to hear Mas Vishnu's reply.
"Yes, Dik Sin. I just remembered that Mr. RT did install CCTV in front of his house. Mr. RT said it was taken from the village government related to the program 'One RT One CCTV'," Mbak Ning said.
"Well, let's just look over there, ma'am. If it will be found out there are pranksters doing that let us report all to Mr. RT because it is the same as making terror in his territory," he said.
"Yes, right, Sister. Let's just go there, brother. Mumpung Pak RT has not yet left for work. After all, at this hour the neighbors have not come to help cook in the kitchen. I'll go home later I want to shop for onions and garlic at Bu Salim's shop next to Mr. RT," asked Ms. Ning.
"OK, Mommy. Let's finish it off first. I was also curious, who the hell is doing that to sampean. I guess no job just makes people confused," I replied.
We both continued our work to clean the house. Fifteen minutes later, our work was completed. We both immediately went to Mr. RT's house in makeshift clothes.
"Valayevansalam ... Uh, until Ningrum. Tumben came to the house early in the morning. Hm ... if not wrong this ...," said Mr. RT.
"Love," cut Ma'am Ning.
"Yes, Sinta. I just remembered," said Mr. RT.
I just nodded when discussed by the two of them because honestly I just knew it turned out that the person called Mr. RT by Mas Wisnu and Mbak Ningsih turned out to be Mas Galih who used to tease me every time I'm staying at Bude Yati's house. If only I knew that, maybe I wouldn't have just come to Mas Galih's house. Just make me tengsin this Sister Ning.
"Monggo, please sit Ningrum and .... Sinta," said Mr. RT while smiling at me.
"Mr Ning ... Ms. Ning .. You didn't say anything about bringing me here. I think you are intentionally. You also know me and Mas Galih were close even though they were not dating. Watch out for you, ma'am!" I said in my heart.
"Where are you going, Mr RT?" mama Ning asked breaking the silence.
"Ah, don't call Mr. RT. We are the same age. Just call me Galih. Is that not so Dik .. eh Sinta?" reply Mr. RT with his friendly.
I just smiled wryly with the words of Mr. RT. Honestly, I was a bit clumsy at the time.
"Okay, where are Miss Riska and the kids?" resetting Sister Ning.
"They stay at the house of in-laws" replied Mr. RT kalem.
"But how come I haven't seen them around here in a while?" ask Ms. Ning again.
It seems Mr. RT thought for a moment. His view looks empty.
"Hm ... Riska cramming, Ning. It's been two weeks now Riska and the kids aren't coming home. They live in Riska's parents' house," replied Mr. RT weakly.
"Hm .. I'm sorry I asked you what you shouldn't" said Ms. Ning.
"It's okay, Ning. I know you can't tell this to the other neighbors. Oh yeah, is there any need for the two of you to come here early in the morning?" asked Mr. RT while alternately staring at me and Ms. Ning.
For some reason every staring at me, Mr. RT seemed to want to remind the memories of the past between the two of us.
SERIATE
How do the reaction of the Friends of Junan when in the position of Sinta? Honestly, never was that, was it?
