I finished a pack of rice, a big glass of hot sweet tea I drank. The sweat on my forehead stood out, the fur was round small.
"Wash your hands first!" tell Mas Gun.
I tidy up the rice wrap, folded it and put it in plastic, and threw it in the front garbage can of the boarding house. Then I washed my hands in the bathroom, then sat back in the front room.
"Lo why the hell mas? Repot all buying rice, to make tea." I said.
"I should have asked why. Lo why Di? Any more problems?" ask Mas Gun.
"Huh, trouble? No, I am ordinary. What the hell is it?"
"Di, don't lie to me. We were friends from childhood, not two days I know you. There must be something you're hiding from me. Lo looks changed at." explained Mas Gun.
"Changed? What changed from me?"
"Lo's face is pale Di, looks not fresh. Try to read there! Look at your own face." tell Mas Gun, but I don't look in the mirror, I just sit down.
"Around your black eyes, I got confused bedain lo same panda." continued Mas Gun.
"Hahahahahaha, ngawur aja sampeyan mas!" sahutku.
"Astaghfirullah Adiii, I really am. Your cheeks also look more slender. Your body is a little skinny. Lo why Di? Same story me." pinta Mas Gun.
I was silent, looking at Mas Gun's face. His eyes were soft, Mas Gun showed me a look of pity.
"Di, what problems are you facing? Same story me." this time Mas Gun let down his voice.
I let out a breath.
"Mas, I'm sorry. I never told you. I'm afraid of being troublesome, I'm afraid you come to mind about the problems I'm facing if I tell you" I said slowly.
"In, we are brothers. The same father your mother entrusted you to me, Ani asked for help to me to take care of you. I'm in charge of you while you're here Di. What will I say to your family, if you arrive why-why? Do not hesitate Di, no unpleasant words and fear troublesome." said Mas Gun. I just kept quiet.
"Now calm down, make yourself enjoy. Please if you want to tell me." continued Mas Gun.
I took a cigarette out of the package. Burning it. It breathes smoke upwards.
Mas Gun made two cups of coffee. For me and for him.
"Look at you." I told you all the events I had, mystical events until I lost my best friend, I told you all without anything I covered up.
Mas Gun just silently listened without interrupting. He was very serious to hear me tell a story, I was excited to tell all the events I experienced, I shed all the junk.
Kemala, Kemala's mother, Badrun's grandfather, Nek Iyah, Mbak Wati, Kang Ujang, Pak Rahmat, Hendra, Arya, Tika, even Ilham and his teacher Ki Sona who intend to trick me, all I tell you with details.
"What's? llham had a chance to harm you Di?" mas Gun asked, his face flushed red.
"Sial is a child! Why didn't you say Di? Try to tell a story from the past, I have made a child! Goddamnit!" Mas Gun is upset.
"Udahlaaah, it's gone too. Thank God I survived." I said to appease Mas Gun.
"Can't do that! Look out, tomorrow I'll have to be the same kid!"
"Udah, don't add to the problem. It passed too. I don't want revenge. You know, llham is a bad guy. That's enough." I said.
"Lo sure you don't want revenge to llham?" tanya Mas Gun convinced me.
"No. Why revenge, then even make more trouble. This is just me having confusion against him. No need to do anything at all mas Si llham." I replied.
"OK, if that's what you want. Continue the story." said Mas Gun.
I continued my story, the story of the disturbance after distraction I faced every night in my room. Every three o'clock at night, all sorts of distractions. From the beginning I was left in room 11b. Starting from the sound of crying babies, my room neighbor Ela who was possessed by the Red, black liquid coming out from between the floors of my room, to dozens of cats who always look at me with a cynical look. I told all of this to Mas Gun.
Until the end of the story, I met Grandpa Badrun who told the whole base of the problem that made the hostel a lot of mystery. Also mustika who the other day was left at the Mas Gun boarding house.
Gun burned a cigarette. He took a little coffee.
"Why is the story now Di? Why wasn't the story before?" ask Mas Gun.
"And I said earlier, I don't want to take lo mas" I replied.
That's true what Mas Gun said. Right now I seem to be fighting on my own, even though there are Tika, Kang Ujang, and Grandpa Badrun.
"Then, what is the grandfather who gave the mustika? Can he continue to exist if you need his help? Don't you?" continued Mas Gun.
"The grandfather instead advised you not to break the tahajud prayer. That only? Uh Di, I tell ya. There is or is no problem, we are also ordered to pray tahajud, even though the law is sunnah, but tahajud prayer has extraordinary priorities." continued Mas Gun.
"So what's Di now?" asked Mas Gun who saw me just shut up.
"Gue doesn't know. I was confused." I replied briefly.
"Udah, you just move here, maybe by moving you will not get any more interference" said Mas Gun.
I'm silent.
"Why?" ask Mas Gun.
"Emm, if you move like you don't" I replied.
"Gue asked, what's the reason you don't want to move out of the hostel?"
I'm silent. My face bowed.
"What's the reason you don't want to move on?" Gun asked again.
"It is because I am destined to stop the evil at the boarding house" I replied.
"Maha." Mas Gun laughed out loud at my answer.
"Hahaahaha. Adiii Adi's. Want to be stupid with old grandfather who you do not know at all. Hahahahahahaha." said Mas Gun.
Laughter of Gun stopped.
"OKAY. If you don't want to move here, I will move there." said Mas Gun.
"What mas? Is Gun moving there?" manywould be surprised.
"Yes. Am I speaking less clearly? I'm going to move there, I'm boarding there with you." said Mas Gun.
"Eh, not mas. Don't move there." I said.
"Lho, why? What difference? Lo stays there, just the difference with me there. Simple!"
"Don't mas, I'm afraid of anything happening lo" I added.
"Di, you calm down. This time I won't tell you myself. Let's face it together. Red, blue, green, purple! Kuntilanak mejikuhibiniu though, I will be beside you." Mas Gun.
"But I.."
"There's no buts. Tomorrow I'll take my stuff there. We'll go out there together. I'm gonna help you get that mustika out of Grandma's fucking hands. Okay!" added Mas Gun.
I shut up, thought for a moment. I'm afraid nothing happened to Mas Gun.
"Do you really want to host a room there?" I convinced Mas Gun.
"Why do you doubt Di? I am sure. What if I live there with you?" ask Mas Gun.
"It's okay, man. I was afraid something would happen." I replied.
"When anything happens to me, it is my destiny. Simple right! The point is, I'll help you until this thing is over. Until you live a normal life again." reply Mas Gun.
"But remember, never get in touch with the supernatural again. Okay!" added Mas Gun.
"Who would love to, none of this is my will. Call it my destiny. Aren't you?" my reply.
Mas Gun smile.
I was confused and happy. When I was confused about what to do, Mas Gun was there to support me. This time I felt completely alone. Mas Gun will confidently stay with me in that room. Also helped me take the mustika. It's my fault, why didn't I tell Mas Gun. If I had told you about it a long time ago, he might have stayed with me at the hostel. He never changes, his concern for others never goes away.
