My wife Kuntilanak
Chapter 23. Arno (2)

"Huh? A winanti? You mean that girl?" the mother immediately scrunched her forehead, upon hearing the name. Aruna just nodded slowly.

Of course Bu Tuti instantly knew who his daughter meant. There was only one name Kinanti in that village. And since the terrible incident, no parents have given the name Kinanti to their children.

"You really see him? Why suddenly? Maybe it's just your mind," said Bu Tuti still doubted the words of his only daughter.

"I'm not lying, Mom. I actually saw him standing at the kitchen door, after the crow flew from the jengkol tree" Aruna assured the mother. He also asked the mother to lower her voice, so that their conversation would not be heard by Farras.

Ms. Tuti stopped her footsteps immediately. He then turned to look at Aruna with a sharp look.

"The raven is a bad sign. Why did he suddenly appear after such a long time?" said the old woman while growling softly. "You're not involved in her disappearance, are you?" coined.

"Duh! Yes, no, Mom. The time of the incident I have come home" Aruna quickly denied.

"Goodoo. If there's nothing you need to worry about. Maybe his spirit was just wandering around, because this was the month of his death," Bu Tuti said then returned to his room.

Somehow he was sure, if Kinanti was dead, although her status until now was still considered a missing person.

"Who's mom and who's talking? What do the old people tell you here? What does this have to do with mom?"

It turned out that Farras heard their chat. He now understood why his mother had been screaming in fear since. Then what does that have to do with Laksmi coming to order food? Wasn't he the only one who appeared in front of the door back then?

"Hihihi. Soon you'll know who your mother really is. Hihihui ..."

Kuntilanak who was still in the kitchen of the house Aruna was just giggling, when he saw Aruna was terrified of his presence. The stench from Aruna's soul explained how evil her heart was. The kuntilanak absorbed the evil energy and made it stronger.

"Uh, I'm gonna goosebumps all of a sudden, huh?" murmured Farras rubbed his bristling nape. "Sholat isya first, deh. Just continue to do this," he said to himself.

"But it seems like this teenage boy is very kind. Different from the rotten nature of his mother."

The long-haired creature that dangled to the floor rubbed Farras' head gently, while giggling softly.

"Su-sound laughing? But whose voice?" Farras hurriedly went to fetch ablution water.

...***...

"Daddy, let's get up. It's dawn, I'm going to the mosque."

Satya rubbed his wife's cheek to wake her up. But Laksmi's hand that was coiled in Satya's stomach had not yet moved. Of course he was just pretending to be asleep.

"Sir..."

This time Satya kissed the long-haired woman's forehead. The thick aroma of jasmine accompanied by coldness instantly seeped into the entire nerves of the man. But there is an odd aroma that is also smelled by Satya.

"K-koku smells like camphor in a dead person, huh?" satya's inner with chest pounding.

Laksmi squirmed as she opened her eyelids. The cold air this morning made his back reluctant to part with his soft mattress. Plus a warm hug from the husband.

"Once in a while pray at home, Mas. It must be very cold outside," said Laksmi persuaded the husband to lie back.

Satya smiled so sweetly. To the extent that Laksmi who no longer has a heart, felt palpitations and blushed embarrassed. That guy is really handsome.

"I know you still want a donkey. But it is time to pray. It is time we are grateful to God, today is still given the pleasure of life," Satya said very gently.

"Huh, but I'm dead, Mom," muttered Laksmi very softly.

"Later his pleasure was connected again after returning from the mosque. I want to get ready first, yes," said the man while moving his wife's hand from her waist.

"Haaah, what kind of ghost am I? Always fails to take this one man down a perverse path. Even my strength is also unable to resist the water of the wudhunya," muttered Laksmi, staring at Satya's missing back behind the bathroom door.

Laksmi pecked herself in front of the mirror. The black shadow reflected there was not entirely terrible as usual. Just an empty eye, and long nails.

"Now what should I do? I have two more days left, until my fake menstrual period is over. After that, Satya must have asked for his ration. While I can't touch him completely."

"Dek, why dream in front of a mirror? You are beautiful, really," said Satya who suddenly nongol from the bathroom.

"Wine! He didn't hear what I said, did he?" Laksmi was panicking.

...***...

"The news has improved, but he has not been allowed to go home with the doctor. Later Mas to there bring clothes together change guard," explained Satya.

"Thank God then. Hope he gets home soon. It's quiet at home if there's only three of us" Laksmi said. Her hands deftly made a sweet tea for her husband.

"Sir, sorry, yes. We should have been on our honeymoon, but it was left behind" said Satya.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm glad I live here."

Satya just smiled at his wife's words. He is happy, because Laksmi is starting to feel at home living with her family.

"Lagian Mas Satya anyway, honeymoon instead of going out of town even ngendog ae neng omah. Fortunately, Mbak Laksmi is not a girl who demands a lot. If I must protest, Mas," chirped Tari who opened the package of rice pecel and moved it to the plate.-Egg at home (stay at home)-

Laksmi giggled at the words of her sister-in-law. His words were indeed very thin, but he felt defended by the beautiful teenager.

"Hhhh, yes... Tomorrow if Mas gets THR and a sabbatical we go honeymoon, yes. Where are you going?" ask Satya.

"Hmm, where are you going? I think to the coastal area is good too," said Laksmi.

Laksmi has always wanted to go on vacation to the beach with her parents. Unfortunately, his age stopped at seventeen, before he saw firsthand what the beach was like.

...***...

"Sir, what do you think Farras is? Did you hear you're the same class as Farras?" ask Laksmi while counting the pecel rice and megono to be distributed.

"Huh?" Dance frowned. He was astonished because suddenly the brother-in-law asked random things. About men anyway. "You mean Ma'am, Aruna's Farras?"

"Hu'um."

"Why did you suddenly ask about Farras?" Change Dance who asked.

"It seems you are close, often go back to school together," Laksmi said. His little heart was worried, something happened just like he used to.

"Hmm, yeah pretty darn good. He's good, anyway. Sally too," replied Dance timidly.

Laksmi gave a small smile at the answer of her sister. The standard answer of a teenage girl, when asked about men.

"Hmm, how come your face is blushing? You have a crush on her?" laksmi fishing rod again.

"No, kok. Mmm, don't know what it means," said Tari lirih, while turning her eyeballs in another direction.

"Well, why is that?" Laksmi continued to scout her sister.

"Because he never cared about anything, other than his school grades and sales. He was always busy with those two things at school" replied Tari.

"Well, can you sell at school?" ask Laksmi.

"He really can't, Ma'am. Fear of disrupting his duties as a student. But he asked for permission to trade in the school cafeteria" said Tari.

"Well, it turns out he's diligent too, yeah. Rarely do guys want to do that, do not prestige help parents," praised Laksmi.

"Yes he had to do it to help his mother's economy. You could say he was the backbone of the family. Maybe that also makes him more attractive," explained Dari with cheeks increasingly blushing.

Laksmi smiled at the cute behavior of her sister, "Loh, why is she the backbone of the family? where is his father? Is he dead?" chirps Laksmi.

"Eng, that's ..." Dance twisted her eyeballs and bit her lower lip, as if she was hesitant to tell the truth.

"Well, you're wrong to say, huh?" laksmi said not very happy.

"Actually Farras did not know who his father was. People say, his mother was pregnant first when she was in college and continued to marry impromptu. But her husband never showed up again in this village after marriage. After Farras was born, his parents officially divorced" said Tari.

"God! So anyway?"

A smile fell on the corner of Laksmi's lips, when he heard the haru story. Her heart was happy, because Aruna's life was not as smooth as she had imagined.

"Why is Laksmi even that cynical smile?" thought Dari was confused as well as horrified.
