I went back into the room. But how surprised I was when I was in the room. On the study desk chair where I was sitting earlier, someone was sitting there facing my laptop. From her posture, I knew she must be a girl who was the same age as me.
" Who are you? What do you want to come to me tonight? " i asked with heart. I know that the one sitting in front of me right now is not human.
" He.....kill us....."
My heart stopped beating. Who is meant by 'he' by the girl.
" Him? she.. who? " I asked with a trembling voice. To be honest, instead of me being afraid of the girl, it's just that, her words really made me feel anxious about the fate of my friends today. After all, I still don't know who that girl meant by 'She.
The girl did not answer Arryan. He stood still in a position behind me.
" He...., kill us... He has killed us.... he has killed us.....!!! " the girl shouted in a high shrill voice and then vanished, disappearing from before me.
I gasped after seeing the girl disappear from before me. Really, I'm really worried about my three friends.
The sound of knocking on the door made me reawaken from my shock and daydream.
" Arryan, please open the door, dong! " That's Melda's voice.
I hurried over to the living room and opened the door for my three friends.
" Well, you guys just got home at this hour? " just ask the three of them.
" Yes, Mr. Sahar asked us to stay while playing dominoes. Excited too, anyway. Play dominoes while drinking wine " said Tano.
Indeed I smelled the aroma of the drink when it opened the door for them.
" You guys drink wine? Gosh.... How are you guys, anyway? Tomorrow we still have activities in the village of Padang Alas." I remind them of tomorrow's plans.
" Stranquilo, Arryan. We can still go, really. Dah, well, we want to sleep first" Tyas said as he pulled Tano into the room. At first glance I saw Afdal who had fallen asleep in the spare mattress on the floor.
" Yes, already.. I also want to go to sleep again." I said as I closed the door and locked it tightly. After making sure that everything was safe, I stepped into the room following Melda. I immediately lay down in my bed until shortly after me and Melda drowned in the dreamland.
...-------...
" *Don't kill us...... "
" Please..... please.......... don't kill us....! Please....! Please*.....! "
Sre....!!! one slash of a machete on my neck turned all black. And disappeared......
I woke up with a bad breath. My neck is hot and my throat hurts so much. I still feel how sharp the machete slashed my neck. The pain and heat became one until my breath seemed to break. I dream.... Oh Astagfirullah's.... The dream felt very real. It's also terrible to remember.
Shortly afterwards, some people entered the place with sharp weapons in the form of long machetes. After that, all that was heard was a roaring scream pleading not to be killed that was heartbreaking mixed with screams of pain. Then after that it vanished and was silent. There is blood ..... Blood is everywhere. Cut-off body parts - cut. What a terrible sight.
I woke up in a state of sobbing crying - sobbing with breath that stinged - nasal.
" Arryan, are you okay? " Melda asked me. He looked at me with a surprised look.
" Yes.... I am okay. I just had a bad dream, "I answered. I grabbed my phone and opened the screen. At 08.00.
" Melda. Let's hunt, we have to go to Padang Alas Hamlet. "my word to Melda who I see has returned to pull the blanket.
" I guess, it didn't. Tano said in the retreat tomorrow. You see today there are activities in this village" he said from behind a blanket.
My forehead is wrinkled to hear Melda's words. " Activity? What activities, Mel? " let me wonder.
" I don't know, but Tano said, anyway. The sacrifice ceremony by the villagers for the gods or something like that. I don't understand it either, Arryan " said Melda.
" Yes, already. Then we better be ready - be ready. Who knows, they need our help." Melda did not answer. It seems he's back to sleep. I then decided to take a shower and get ready.
Me and my friends mingled with the villagers, working together please help each other in preparing for the sacrifice ceremony that will be held tomorrow, coinciding with the night of one suro.
Actually, my friends and I were a little surprised. What is the purpose of the ceremony. However, we all remember the old man's saying that where the earth is placed the sky is held up. It means we have to respect the customs and customs of others wherever we are. So without asking too many questions, we helped with a carefree and open attitude.
Time passed without feeling. It was late afternoon, then crawled into the night. After being tired of helping the villagers of Wentira who were preparing for the Ngurban Traditional Ceremony, we returned home after dinner at the village chief's house.
At night, 11:23...
I yawned while stretching both hands up. Tired I think after finishing writing a report on the laptop about the agenda of our activities while in this village. It didn't feel like we were in this village for nearly a month. We only have a few more days left. So, we are hunted for time to complete the agenda and also the report.
Melda was done. As for the job issue, I admit, the girl worked quickly and accurately. She is also a very smart and sociable girl. No wonder, many young men on campus love that girl.
The lamp in my room twinkled and then lit up again. However, a moment later the lamp was completely extinguished again. I stared in wonder. This lamp should have been dead a long time ago. " The oil is gone" said Afdal.
I finally decided to go to bed. I slept following the melda who had gone to the island of Kapuk. Basic kebo..! my current makiku while pulling my blanket. Next I also sleep like melda because I already feel sleepy and tired.
" Daughter Arryan.. princess.. wake up..! " someone touched my shoulder. His ice-cold hands made me inevitably have to open my eyes to see who had awakened me.
" Andros... ? What are you doing here? " I asked in shock to find that handsome young genie in my room.
" Snake this place.... You and your friends are in danger.. "
