My wife Kuntilanak
Chapters 16. Guests Not Eye-Crattled

Satya pulled her car over to a tent on the side of the road. A tasteful fragrant aroma, activating his sense of smell. He then took his wife's arm to enter the tent.

"Mas, pecel catfish two, yes. Nasi uduk," Satya told the shop owner.

The man wearing the yellow soccer shirt jumped in shock at the figure next to Satya. Apparently he's not alone. The other visitors were also shocked to see it. Some of them even looked frightened and hurriedly finished their food.

"M-mas, is his friend really eating?" ask the merchant pecel lele make sure. Satya couldn't have seen it, right?

"Oh, that means my wife? Yes, dong. Make no mistake, Mom. Pecel catfish two use rice uduk." Satya repeated her order.

"Well! So the creature was his wife? He's crazy what's bego, anyway?" whispered other visitors.

The owner of the stall did not feel good to drive Satya from there. He was also afraid that the legless creature that was beside Satya was rampaging. "O-okay, Mum. Sit down" he said later.

Satya frowned, looking at the reaction of the frightened-looking shop owner. He even looked a few times to take his eyes off.

"What do I look like a thug?" satya's mumbling was too overthinking.

"Mas, sit down yuk," invited Laksmi who had been silent earlier.

They sat at the very end of the empty room. Some other visitors hurriedly finished eating and left from there.

"Well, my shop could go bankrupt tonight" lamented the shop owner inwardly.

Srprrr!! Suddenly the wind blew hard enough. The lights suddenly went out. The mood became tense.

"Mas ... Hiya ..."

A pale-faced figure with jet-black eyes, and a pole-tall body of the tent stood right in front of the shop owner. His hand was waving to touch the man who had been busy giving the chili.

It's freaky. All is pitch dark. Even the stove fire was extinguished by the wind. But the man in the soccer shirt could see the figure in front of him clearly. Unfortunately his body froze, unable to run let alone talk.

"Mas .." said the figure again. His hands extended and stretched forward. Turns out he gave the man a lump of hair.

"Take it, it's a seller. Don't be afraid of my husband. Hihihi..."

Of course the man did not dare to take it. But the legless figure floated closer and closer, forcing him to accept the object.

Trang! All were bright when the lights came on. That figure disappeared. Everything went back to normal, like there was never a problem. The hair was placed by the owner of the shop in a hidden place.

"Mas, here's the message" said the shop owner, putting two plates of catfish pecels and two glasses of warm tea. He was shocked when a woman in good looks beside Satya smiled sweetly at him. No more creepy figures there.

"We didn't order tea, Mas" Satya said, correcting his order.

"It's a bonus, Mom. Free, because the air is cold" explained the man.

"Oh, really? Thank you, Mas," Satya replied.

Looks like the seller given kuntilanak just now really works. Moments after Satya enjoyed the meal, the buyers came in droves. They even get overwhelmed serving all orders.

...***...

As the day went on, there were no visible stars twinkling in the sky. While the right and left are quiet plantation areas. The sound of the night beast began to be disdainful.

Satya started shivering. Occasionally rub the nape of his neck, because it feels uncomfortable. His heart grew even worse, when he accidentally looked at the plantation that was so dark. He felt like many pairs of eyes were watching him.

"Cock it feels really gripping, huh? The streets were also quiet from earlier. It was only half nine in the night. Is it because of the rain, people are lazy to come out?" Satya is at war with her own thoughts.

"Why, Mas? How come his forehead is so wrinkled? You scared?" Laksmi put her hand on the thigh of the husband.

"Not to worry, no one will disturb us" replied Laksmi.

"Huh? Meanin?" Satya did not understand the words of his wife. "Do you mean a bad person or a subtle creature?" satya's mind was back branching.

The situation in the car is quite dark, making Satya not see a wide grin from the woman next to him. "It's a good time to finish him off. The negative energy here is huge" the woman whispered.

"Cocky feeling not sampe-nyampe, huh? Shouldn't have come out of the way of this plantation?" Satya started to feel something strange. He did not know, if Laksmi deliberately made them stray and took the man to another realm.

Suddenly there was a howl of a humble dog behind the trees. A moment later came the faint sound of a woman's cry. Guts Satya is shrinking. His face that had been somewhat relaxed, had now turned into agitation and fear.

The mood was silent for a moment. Satya felt a very cold touch at the nape of her neck, spurring her heartbeat to beat twice as fast.

"Dad?" Call Satya while looking left. He found his wife sleeping.

"Hurry to sleep? Just had a conversation. Who touches my shoulder?" Thinking about it makes Satya's hair bristles even more.

"Dead ... Die you ..."

Sayup-sayup heard a whisper accompanied by a roaring cry. Satya could not guess where it came from. But for sure their current distance must be very close.

"Death to you, damned man of life!" The voice was heard again. This time it was like he was angry.

Gluey! Satya gulped and adjusted her breathing, as she looked at the long-haired figure with a bloodied face from the middle rearview. The creature's fingers are perched on both of its shoulders, with sharp nails capable of tearing the skin

"Sorry, whoever you are, please don't bother me and my wife. Let us go home safely."

Satya spoke with a trembling voice. His feet pressed the gas pedal deep enough. While his heart recited the prayers and holy verses of the Koran he memorized.

"You must die. Hihihii."

The shrill sound of laughter almost made Satya's sanity disappear. But then he remembered, there was someone he had to protect, his courage reappeared.

"Go to your realm, don't disturb us. My wife will definitely come back alone if I die. I will feel guilty forever" Satya said meekly.

Brak! Satya was like hitting a big rock in front. Surprisingly, the car did not suffer any damage. He then glanced at the rearview mirror and did not see the figure again.

The towering trees on the left right of the road began to thin, and were replaced with houses. Satya breathed a sigh of relief. Laksmi has failed to attack Satya tonight.

"Dec? Are you awake? Shocked by the collision, huh?" satya said while slowing down the speed of his vehicle. The road started to get crowded with other vehicles.

"Uhm, yes," Laksmi replied briefly.

"Hey, we stop there for a second, yuk. I want to check the car while buying souvenirs for Father Mother."

Satya pointed to a gift shop that was still open. Lakshmi agreed. He has to re-charge his negative energy, after failing to injure Satya.

After they pulled over and got out of the car, Satya immediately checked the front of the vehicle. While Laksmi walked over to the souvenir shop to take a look.

"Mas, go yuk. It's strange here" Laksmi asked as she saw a grandmother looking at her sharply. His lips gave off a thick red liquid.

But Satya did not hear it. He was busy in front of his car. Although it does not look any damage, but Satya felt he still had to check his car more thoroughly.

"Mas, come on dong." Laksmi shriveled, as the old woman with gray hair was getting closer to him.
