“Udah hour eleven nih.” Andri said to his brother Rahma.
“Iya, you got what?” ask Rahma.
“I'll see you first in the bag.” Andri opened her bag about what she had.
“This free.” Andri showed me the lollipop.
“One free?” Rahma looks scared.
“Iya.”
“Trus me how?” Rahma asked again.
“Lu don't bring anything?”
“It's doang.” Rahma's sister Andri showed me a pencil.
“But if it is, lu nimbulin problem.”
“From nimbulin problems for myself do not love anything.” Rahma finally went up to their house.
To get to his house, he had to climb four floors. His house is a flats, his house is on the fifth floor, the top.
The stairs to the second floor they had passed, now the stairs to the third floor, not long later they were already on the third floor, then nnaik towards the fourth floor, when going up to the floor of their house, when they were going to go up to the floor, Andri held Rahma.
“Lu sure love pencil?” Andri looks sweaty.
“Iya. I don't have anything else, when I give you my textbooks! trus I learned how, buy his book only dad was hard.”
“Entercome.”
Andri led his sister to walk behind him, the stairs turn first until the fourth floor, at the turn of the stairs there is a large area, which is quite large, there scattered some items that were just placed, like being thrown.
“Udah cepetan says!” Rahma who was behind Andri said.
“I-iya!” Andri shaking.
“Pick!” Rahma was upset, she had already prepared her pencil.
“Nih yours yes, I give it back!” Andri threw the candy.
“Nih yours yes, I give it back!” Rahma said the same thing and threw her pencil.
After that they both ran, running without seeing the direction finally made Rahma fall because her legs did not really tread on the stairs, her hands were still held by her brother.
“Come wake up!” Andri pulled his sister.
“Ng .. cannot.” Rahma whispered, her tears falling.
“Why?” Andri whispered too.
“Kakiku .. ‘dia’ with my feet!” Rahma screaming.
Andri looked at the bottom of his sister, because at this time his sister's position was downed due to a fall. So his feet are right on the bottom rung after the turn. When Andri's sight was met with the location of his sister's legs, Andri choked, he could not say anything.
“Main equals me yuk.” A small child, without clothes, wearing only *********, his face was pale, his lips were blue, his whole body was blue, his eyes were black, it was as if he only had pupils that filled his eyes there.
“Kak ...” Her sister cried she was afraid that her brother would run away and leave her alone.
“You saw too?” Andri asked.
“Iya ..” His sister tried to hold back the cry.
“Cepet talking!” Andri forced his sister to talk, but his sister was much bolder, but now the position is reversed.
“Gue scared!” Rahma whispered but there was an annoyed tone from her voice as she suppressed the intonation on her words.
“If you don't talk, I stay you here!”
“Kak!” Rahma begged her brother to stay.
“Pocketing by the way.” Andri.
With a vibrating voice, Rahma finally spoke, “A ... Ayuk .. a. a. ayuk play, but tomorrow only yes, I am called mom.” After saying that, Andri pulled her sister, pulled her all her might and they ran without turning their heads again, entered the house and closed the door loudly.
“Why!” Mom and dad came out of the room.
“I-it's Bu, Well, it ... was foot ade on pull!” Andri tried to explain but incompletely, her parents already understood their intentions.
“Why not buy candy first, let you guys love ‘dia’ what?” His father sat them in a chair and calmed his limp-looking brother and his gaze was empty. While his mother took them for a drink.
“Andri already exists, but Rahma is not there, we had returned home from the preparation event of school Well, trus pas home stalls already closed. Fitting in front of the new gate inget. Rahma love pencils!”
“Astagfirullah! Why pencil?” His father looked worried.
Rahma was given warm water, Andri drank his own water.
“Kan earlier Andri had said, there is nothing else, when Rahma gave you a textbook!” Andri repeated Rahma's words earlier.
“If it's a pencil, he's gotta be together, you forgot or what? you guys want to play with him on purpose?” His father said still with a worried look.
“Iya knows Well, but rather than not loving, she won't let us through.
“Yaudah, then, you are going home tomorrow as soon as school, first move to aunt's house on the first floor, you can not pass the stairs until forty days.”
“Dad ...”
“You want your sister to be wretched? He already knows your face, you have also said you want to play tomorrow right to be released?” Father reminded.
“Iya Well, but auntie will narrow her room.”
“Judah gini aja, while there a week, the father of the same mother find a hostel room here, we will stay there aja aja aja while.”
“Sorry Rahma yes Yah.”
“Rahma is not wrong, the wrong is the parent who left the child alone until his spirit is not calm and bothers the residents here.” Rahma hugged her father, from tonight Rahma's face must be covered in black cloth if tomorrow she will pass, so that ‘dia’ does not see Rahma, Rahma, only then will Rahma and Andri stay with her aunt for a week, waiting for her father and mother to get their senses, they will stay there until forty days pass. Otherwise, Rahma could be doomed, the boy would bring Rahma along with him, as promised Rahma would play with him.
...
“So this is her stacking house?” Jarni asked Ganding. This was the case of the two of them, while Alka was still in recovery.
“Iya right, we should ask the Head of his RT first.” Ganding replied then walked first.
“Iya, I have no other scenario, other than that.”
“You sure?” Jarni was hesitant, because their scenario was always disguised, lying or even deceiving, Alka said, if we were too often frank, people would know them and there would only be two possibilities. First, they will be famous and so have no privacy, it's haram to do, you're angry if it happens, they have to move underground. Then the second possibility, they would be considered insane. So the move to be honest makes Jarni hesitant.
“Yakin, come on.” The banding extended its hand.
Jarni greeted the helping hand with a smile.
They both came to the manager's office, then asked where Mr. RT's house, it turns out his house is on the first floor. The most basic floor.
As soon as they knocked on the door, a middle-aged man came out, invited Ganding and Jarni to sit down and they were served tea by Mr. RT's wife.
“So our destination here is related Wanga .. puk.”
“Hei!” Mr. RT looked angry, he asked Ganding not to continue with the name, but Ganding continued to say it.
“Why Pak?” Ganding knew, this must be because they were so afraid of that name.
“Too haram mentioned that name, you should whisper, he can hear us.” Mr. RT said in a whisper, but his angry expression was not hidden.
“Ya sorry Sir.”
“You're a reporter?”
“Not.”
“Then what are your needs here with ‘dia’?” ask Mr. RT.
“We were sent to arrest him.” GHanding said straightforwardly.
“Cannot! There have been many shamans, Ustad, Kiai who came, they all ended up sick and gave up, let alone you, young people. Where can I.”
“Allow us first Sir, after all there is no harm.” Ganding.
“But, what are you catching ‘dia’ for?”
“Because we are calling you Sir, we need Wang ....”
“DO NOT CALL HIS NAME!” Mr. RT shouted, he was very scared.
“I-iya sorry Mr.” Ganding was surprised by the screams of Mr. RT. Ironically, a ghost boy made an adult tremble like this.
“You do as you like, the important thing is you do not disturb the peace here, because we are too tired with ‘dia’ until we finally decided to accept him and coexist, although we were very scared every time we had to go through the turn of the stairs above ten o'clock in the night. Good thing my house is bottom, so my kids are safe.” RT sir this sounds so selfish.
“Alright, may I start from the story of ‘dia’?” Ganding did not want to repeat the mistake of saying his name again.
“So ‘dia’ used to be when this new flats were built, not all units were occupied, each floor was at least ten families occupying from thirty units, a couple who have a child. They are like any other family, his father is working, his mother, a housewife. Then at one time, as time went on, the unit began to fill up, the father of the child was fired because of a work accident, usually, the factory that was not licensed was very careless in maintaining their workers. The father of this child became deformed, his hands breaking up to the elbows. He lived like that after that.
To meet the needs of their family life, his wife began to be a laundry worker in several houses, as a result of which their son who had just turned five years old had to be left by his mother with his father only.
At first everything went well, but as we had guessed, they were often bickering because of money, his wife had worked from morning to night, but their needs were still not met, he said, her husband has also been temperamental since his hand was amputated.
Their son became a victim, sometimes his father often tortured the child, his mother did not defend, he instead participated in torture. They were both depressed because of the sudden economic situation and the calamity that came so quickly.
Until one night, his wife ran away from their flats leaving behind her son and husband. Her disabled husband was left with it, as well as a five-year-old child. The father instead of trying to change from his temperament, he became more and more, lastly, he did the most cruel thing, he left the child alone in the house, with the door locked from the outside, without eating without money.
We neighbors didn't know, we thought the house was empty, because his father said he was going to go out with his son.
We were tricked, it turns out he left his son there. Two weeks later, we smelled the stench of the empty house.
We forcibly opened the house and the smell was getting stinging, we saw the body of the child was already lying in front of the bathroom door.
His body was thin and his eyes blackened. We believe he was hungry and thirsty, he probably drank the bathroom water, but by the second week, we were shutting down the water source, because we felt the house was empty. We did not dare to open the house because the status still belongs to the couple, has not been diverted, so we decided to stop the water supply to the house because we believe the house is empty.
Naas, it turns out there is still the child there, he survived waiting for his parents by drinking tap water from the bathroom. If we had known, we would have taken care of the boy willingly, but we didn't know.” Mr. RT who was in the incident looked sad.
“Since then ‘dia’ haunts this flats?” Ganding asked.
“Yes, since then there is one place that ‘dia’ lives in, that place is the turn of the stairs to the fifth floor, the floor of his house is.”
“Why is there?” Ganding.
“Because there he used to wait for his mother to come home, sitting on the lowest stairs right after the turn of the stairs to the fifth floor.”
“Then what is the myth?” Gandy asked again.
“Anyone who passes the turn of the ladder, passing from ten o'clock in the night without giving anything by throwing and saying, ‘nih yours yes, I return’ then he will haunt you, come to your house, even make you possessed, until you get sick and finally come with him.” Mr. RT shuddered to say that, as if he had seen the events being told.
“Then is there really a victim?” Ganding asked back.
“There have been two people who have died, both teenagers. They left nothing at the turn of the stairs, their house on the fifth floor, then they said followed by ‘dia’ over time, they got sick and eventually died.”
“Can they get sick right? not because ‘dia’.”
“No! they both died with the same signs, starting from feeling followed, then frequent seizures, falling sick to not being able to move like a stroke, where might be a stroke teenager right? then died. Therefore we are very guarding once the myth.”
“Oh well, that's the myth?”
“Oh again, if what you give is goods, not food, or even toys, he will take you to play, then you have to agree to his invitation, otherwise he will be angry and continue to target you, he said, you have to say this, ‘ayu we play, but tomorrow yes, I am called my mother’, ‘dia’ will release you instantly, but you have to run and leave your house for forty days, when passing through the turn of the stairs, your face must be covered with a black cloth so that he does not recognize you again. “
“Hah? forty days? Why forty days?”
“Because after forty days, the spirit of the child will calm down and forget the person he has marked.”
“Ruh can forget?” Jarni asked and scoffed a little.
“Yes, that's how it is, whoever follows all those myths, will be safe.”
“Music!” Ganding's upset.
“As of you, if you want to help please, but I beg you not to make a fuss let alone make ‘dia’ angry. You must have been expelled!”
“That would help you get kicked out, so you're siding with Wangapuk!” Banding deliberately raised the voice, Mr. RT ran into the house out of fear.
Jarni laughed at the behavior of humans, afraid of the same spirit, children again.
Jarni and Ganding knew where they were going now, but surely the boy would not show his nose, they had to make sure, this boy was either a lost soul or just a genie in the name.
In the record of the father, it has not been explained because the father has not investigated it, in the book, the father only records all the places that are disturbed by evil spirits.
Jarni and Ganding were about to go up the place, just making sure the energy was there, adjusting so that the spirit would not be afraid to see them.
