Opung Tolu's
Concealed


The building of Tolu's old house is renovated, carving typical classic-style shades stand out full of interesting architectural carvings. It's just Tolu's request that the atmosphere of the previous thatched hut room remain awake at the top level. Tolu performs his supplies upstairs with various offerings at the ritual table. He was dubbed as a shaman who was able to help every citizen who wanted help. Tolu asked anyone who asked to keep it a secret from his family.


Initially Tolu's mother did not know the knowledge Tolu had, she just thought all the wealth came from the hard work Tolu always said that he worked diligently in the morning until evening. Mariti's mother, who trusted her son, did not think that Tolu kept a big secret. So did Mardan and Ani who loved Tolu his sister.


“Abang, I saw Tolu's sister's gurgle so strange. He said he would perform prayers in the mosque but until now the trunk of his nose was not visible” said Ani while folding the prayer mat.


“He may still take care of his job” said Mardan shaking his head.


Ani walked sneaking into Tolu's room, the smell of the room was very pungent the smell of incense. Black curtains and mosquito nets with a picture frame that contains a full black color too. The atmosphere was gripping with the presence of a rocking chair that moved by itself. Slowly Ani observed the contents of the room. From under the bed she heard the sound of women laughing in a horrible tone, Ani lowered her head to see who was bothering her.


“Hihihh, hihiih.”


“Hey, who is it? Out you!” said Ani moving right under the mattress.


A monstrous figure walked back and forth around the mattress, feet full of mud emitted the sound of bone cracks until a step came to a halt near Ani who was already trembling at the sighting she had only seen for her entire life. The creature's head turned towards him, but Ani fainted until her head hit the mattress many times.


“Anni! why are you, brother?" mardan shouted to see him unconscious.


Mardan takes Ani to the sofa. His mind branched out hearing the mother's moaning and coughing. He scowled Ani's head, applying wind oil on his nostrils until slowly Ani was awakened.


"Let's rest, brother will see the state of the mother" said Mardan.


...----------------...


The condition of his body back weakened, sunken eyelids and wheezing breath. Ms. Mariti has been wearing warm clothes for several days, socks and scarves around her neck. Swollen red eyes can not be covered because every day crying for the departure of Mr. Don. His appetite is reduced even though now all his needs are fulfilled but still mom Mariti feels there is something missing in her life. Mr. Don's loyalty and love remain in his heart, Mariti always leaves an empty pillow next to his pillow.


“Bu, let me take you to kamar” said Mardan.


He guided the mother carefully, Mariti's legs straightened and her body covered with thick cloth.


“Bu, I'll call doctor” Mardan reach for mobile phone.


“Don't, mom won't add to your sister's burden. He works hard to finance us. Uhuk, uhuk!” bu Mariti coughed up blood.


He held the blood in his hand and hid it from Mardan.


“Sorry mom, I've also been trying to find work here and there. But no company has received my cover letter” Mardan ducked.


Perches. Noise from the kitchen.


“Bu, I stay a while.”


Kitchen utensils fell apart, as did toppled plate shelves and broken dining chairs. Mardan looked into all the rooms, who were the perpetrators who had damaged their homes. He also looked out of the house, checking for any suspicious things.


“Who is the culprit of all this?” he said very upset.
