My Family's Gift
Mystery man

The next day, a friend of mine came to the house in the morning.

"why unplug it here hadeh". I said while playing a game with him in the console.

"yeah. abisnya you also did not enter, so I did not enter too". timpal focus looking at the screen.

"alesan.

I did not go to school today because my father told me to help my Uncle, I don't know what help my uncle wants to ask for.

Rizal knows that I have the ability to communicate about the supernatural, but only to the extent that, he does not know how my family is, nor about the indulgence.

"eh am. masa yes, I yesterday went home malem, squirming kuntilanak.

"where?". I asked

"on the street deket house I deket univ p*ncasila, it was at 11 pm, because it wanted to cepet home so I cut the road by motorbike, ga through the highway as usual... right there was a very quiet street, and on the left I was all the graves.When I was focused on the road, suddenly I squirm something was flying in front of the top, I am the one who panics directly aja muter motor hahaha". said Rizal with laughter.

"you samperin aja zal, meet my acquaintance.

"yee.. boro-boro with acquaintances, squirming all the while I've been hanky... oia am, you can squirm jin, in addition you can communicate with them.. ajarin I dong". her word

"maybe. but there's a condition.

"what are the terms?". he asked.

"ntar malem.. if you meet something in front of your room window, and do not panic. later I teach.

"eh. ga so deh, ga so.". he said with a panicked face.

Then someone knocked on my door, and it was my uncle, and I asked Rizal to leave, because I did not have an appointment with him from the beginning.

My uncle said, asking me to change clothes and go with him, by car we went to a place in the area of blessing, banten.

It takes approximately 3 hours on the trip, along the way, uncle just silence while listening to the song on his hendset.

At about 10:30 a.m., we arrived at a forest, with a walkway that could only be passed on foot, and we got out of the car and asked the driver to wait.

"where are we going?". I asked as I walked beside my uncle.

"want to meet a shaman.

"uh uh? a shaman? what for?". ask me.

"patience.and you also know.

We continued to follow the path, with the road slightly uphill and muddy, making my legs difficult to step.

About 30 minutes long we walked, we arrived at a hut house, I did not even think there was a house in the middle of this forest. I saw a lot of shells hanging on the walls of the house, and there was a long bench on the porch, and on top of it was a chessboard that looked like it had just been played.

My uncle knocked on the door of the house.

"firman?". there was a man behind the door.

"yes". says my uncle

Then we opened the door and went inside, an old man was standing looking out at the window with a very unkempt appearance, her beard and hair were so long that almost all of her was white, with skin so delicate, she was bare-chested and only wore black cloth pants.

The contents of his house was quite sad, seen some banana leaves are neatly arranged in the corner of the room, like his leaves were used for bed. Then as in front of me, I saw many small shells made like necklaces and hung on the walls. And in the middle of the room, there was a table with a banana-leaf platter, on top of which there were a few earth-shaking pieces, and then there were also some chess pieces.

"how's hanum doing?". asked the man.

"as always". said the uncle with a smile.

Then the man sat down by the table, and let us sit in front of him.

"so you're the successor, what's your name?". asked the man.

"Liam.my name is Liam.

Seen uncle took out a small black bag, and gave it to Basuki, then he peeked at the contents of the bag that I do not know what the contents in it.

"Hanum wants you back soon.

"hmm you already know my answer, right.

"listen to basuki, this time the situation has been different.

"I'll keep going and spend the rest of my time here.. I am no longer interested in the worldly word.

"we've almost been able to open it and we need your help.

"ohh. that's good news, but I'm sorry. I'm not interested..

"you are the only human we can ask for help with this... You are wasting your talent.

Basuki stood up and looked back at the window, and stared out blankly.

"I've lived too long... Even my friends have long since left me, I used to consider my talent is a blessing, which in my mind used to be power, women and property. Even if God came to stop me, I would fight him, but now different words, all wrong, my talent is a curse from God to me". she said with an sayup face.

"don't be stupid basuki. You just picked the wrong way back then, and this is his time to return, it's never too late, hanum and I will take you back to your glory days.

Then Basuki walked slowly and crouched down right in front of my face.

"you're liam, right?". asked basuki.

"i.iya.

"look me in the eye, and say what you see.

When I looked into his eyes, I could only see a man who had already lost his fighting spirit, as well as a man who had already lost his hope to the world. But I chose to be quiet and not say anything, but...

"you are even silent.I am just a pathetic man.

"wait.." I said.

"hmmm.

"I do see a great sense of despair in your eyes, but I see a speck of fire left in there.

"hahaha a speck of fire? what do you mean?". asked.

"no. You're not a pathetic man, but you're just waiting for someone to re-ignite the fire left inside you.

He looked up and looked at me after hearing my words, and with his eyes wide open, I saw drops of tears coming out of his left eye.. just from his left eye.

"HAHAHAHA...REALLY? are you the one? someone I've been waiting for?". she asked with a very sharp look at me.

"that's all you know about the answer to.

"HAHAHA... ATTRACTIVELY.. INTERESTING THOUGH.... Hanum does know the best way to educate his descendants.

"Hey Liam... Do you know who I am? do you know what kind of man I was before her?". she asked with a terrible smile at me.

"no. because what I see now is, a sad man who is waiting for someone's hand to just help him stand up.

"HAHAHAHA.. You are the first man who dared to say that to me, even your father would not dare to say it. Maybe because you do not know who I am, or maybe you're just a stupid man who doesn't care about anyone in front of you.

"then.do the helping hand of this stupid man, managed to reach you.

"yes. you did it". she replied with a smile.

Honestly speaking, when he was looking at me with a terrible smile, I felt a very strong killing intent, this man was not an ordinary man, I also felt an enormous supernatural energy, he said, like he was trying to hide.

But no matter how scared I was, my ego could always help me in such moments, an Ego that did not want to look weak in front of others.
