Marlangens
CHAPTER 16

Maybe you think that the figure of the pocong is the way to jump like in a horror film. But in reality, the pocong is more creepy. They floated and sometimes it was suddenly in front of me. His face was black, foul smelling and his eyes were cold.  The shabby shroud added to the horror as I looked at it.

When I was imagining the figure of a pocong that I had met in the village first suddenly I heard the sound of Sella screaming. I wanted to get to him, but I was afraid that the sound of screaming was just the act of idle creatures like the other day that made Sella actually scold me. But I was so worried about him, even though he was a bitch to me but I loved him as my only cousin.

Suddenly Sella banged on my bedroom door hard.

"Open the door, open it!!" sella shouted behind my door.

I immediately rushed towards the locked door and opened it, Sella immediately rushed towards me. His face was pale and looked frightened.

"Why are you, Cell?" many wonder.

"There's a pocong in my room" he replied, continuing to hide behind me.

"You know I'm your room first, look at the pocong it's still there or not."

"You see," he still trembled a little.

I also went to Sella's room next to me, when I opened the door the room was empty there was no one let alone a pocong, maybe the pocong was just a fad.

After making sure Sella's room was safe from the pocong I went back to my room. When I entered Sella was sitting at my study table.

"He doesn't have a cell, you can go back to your room" I said, sitting in bed.

"That's right, I'm not gonna sleep alone tonight. I'm sleeping here, Langen, '" Pinta Sella with the face of a nelangsa.

Somehow I was so happy I was finally able to sleep together like a familiar cousin. Of course I immediately agreed to Sella's request.

"Yeah you sleep in bed, Cell. I slept under the carpet" I said, taking a pillow for me to put on my carpet.

"No need, we sleep together. Besides that, your bed is perfect for both of us whose bodies are thin" said Sella friendly.

For the first time he's been that friendly to me. I hope that after this incident he will behave like that.

I went to bed and slept next to Sella.

******

I woke up when there was a knock on the window, but my window was on the top floor. The knock turned a loud bang that made Sella also wake up.

"That's who, Langen's gedor-gedor the window?" sella asked while hiding behind my back.

"I don't know Sel either" I replied with a bad feeling.

As Sella and I were guessing who was banging on my bedroom window suddenly heard a voice .

"Deaf. culii...."

"Gosh, whose voice is that?" Cecar Sella to me who is still flinching.

No doubt it must be the sound of the pocong that Sella had seen in the room and who followed her.

"Let's get our cell out" I'll take Sella.

But Sella just shook her head while staring at the window. I also followed his direction. It turned out that there was a pocong figure with a black face filled with maggots, his eyes were sharp towards us and the smell was really rotten.

The pocong was hovering near us.

"Culiii"

As the pocong got closer to us, it suddenly floated back quickly and out the window.

I immediately rushed to close the windows and curtains. As I turned around, I saw Sella crying.

"Udah Sel, he's gone." Amused

"Gue was afraid, Langen," he said as he sat back on the bed.

"I saw that pocong from earlier when you came home, I thought it just accidentally passed by. Where did you end up?" ask me to pat Sella on the shoulder to calm her down.

"Gue's just from temen's house, but right back home I said. He told Aldi to make a horn three times just past the grave in his house. But as Aldi passed by he forgot the sound of the horn." Sella's story is starting to calm down.

"You're stuck in a cell, it should be every time we pass or go to a kramat place, we should have some courtesy to those who are invisible" I explained

"Now what should I do? Let the pocong not follow me again?" ask Sella seriously.

"You took a bath only Sel, surely after you came home you haven't had a bath, right?" much

"Well, take a shower?"

"For your good so as not to be disturbed by the pocong earlier," I assured.

"But wait for me in front of the bathroom." Knockabout

"Yes, I'll wait at the door"

We went out of my room to the bathroom, just before entering the bathroom Sella stopped in front of the door.

"Langen, thank you for wanting me" he said shyly.

"Yes alike. We're brothers, Cells," I replied with a knotty smile.

"I'm sorry for my treatment, I hope we can be good, too" he said, hugging me.

"I hope so too, Cell"

I'm really happy, even though my life isn't okay right now but when I think there are people I care about right next to me, it feels like I can get through it all.
