"Huh? Red kuntilanak?" Yuda surprised.
"Di, you're not kidding me, are you? You're not serious, are you?" ask Yuda.
I looked at Yuda inside.
"No. I'm not kidding, I'm not writing. This is the reality." I replied.
"Red mountain that threatens my life Da. From the very beginning I lived there, my soul was marked. In my blood flows the power of my ancestors, so it becomes the target of red kuntilanak. Either all coincidences or indeed the plans of the Almighty. But Grandpa Badrun said, I'm the only one who can take down the evil that's been going on for so long at the boarding house. That's why I'm so angry at you, you have the heart to exchange Grandpa Badrun's necklace for less money. My life is threatened." I explained.
Yuda quiet.
"I'm sorry for what I did. I don't know about the necklace and the problems you are facing" said Yuda
"Casual Da, it's all over. I don't need that necklace anymore" I replied.
"What crime has happened at the boarding house?" ask Yuda.
"From the past, there have been many victims who became the victim for red kuntilanak. And it's all well planned, it doesn't involve anyone else. The brains of evil are only a person and his pet demons." I explained.
"Who's In?" Yudah asked.
"Badriyah, or better known as Nek Iyah. My hostess." I replied.
"Huh? So the mastermind of everything that's going on is mother kost lo?" ask Yuda.
I'm nodding.
"Including Bagas' death too?" Yuda was curious.
"Yes Da, including the death of our friend Bagas." I replied.
"Where do you know that Bagas died because of the actions of your hostess? I'm afraid you're wrongly accusing Di, wrongly thinking. It could be dangerous at." said Yuda.
I sucked up a little iced coffee. I spent it with one suck.
"Where do I know it was a mother's act? From my neighbor who was possessed by a red kuntilanak." I replied.
"What's? Possession?"
"Yes possessed. That night I was sleeping, I suddenly heard screaming from the next room. I got out of the room immediately, even the late neighbor of the boarding house, Bang Oji got up and helped. The woman's name is Ela. As she was possessed, Ela said, 'I like young people yesterday, I want young people to be badriyah'. If you hear that, what is your conclusion? While Ela was possessed a few days after Bagas' body was found in an empty house in front of the gate."
Judah rubbed his chin again.
"It can be concluded that it is the act of the mother of the boarding lo." replied Yuda.
I also told of some of the deaths of those closest to me. Like the death of Mbak Wati and Pak Rahmat. Ms. Wati died after I kept Grandpa Badrun's necklace. The night before Madam Wati's death, I was trapped by her friend Mas Gun. My necklace is for her teacher, Ki Sona. Lucky Grandpa Badrun came to help.
Then the death of Mr. Grace. I chatted with Mr. Rahmat after breaking the body of Mbak Wati, Pak Rahmat told me to immediately lift my foot from the boarding. Because many students who host there do not last long. Mr. Rahmat told me that something could threaten anyone in the boarding house. My conversation with Mr. Grace was heard by Bang Oji. Since then, Bang Oji's attitude has changed for me. And shortly thereafter, Mr. Grace passed away.
"So in conclusion the boarding mother, the red kuntilanak, the necklace, and all the dead were related Di?" ask Yuda.
"Yes Da. The conclusion I am taking right now is like that.
"Di, I'm sorry, you why not move anyway?" said Yuda.
I smile.
"Why would I move if the kuntilanak was still after me? Not only me, even the people closest to me can be the victim." I replied.
Judah was silent, his eyes glaring up at the ceiling of the tavern.
"Ckckck." Yuda clucking.
"Why are you Da?" I was surprised to see the behavior of Yuda.
"Crazy. It's crazy Di. I didn't think it! In the age of all the internet and modern gini, there are still things like this." muttered Yuda.
"Hahaahaha. Lo kocak. Unseen things follow the development of time. Want any age, the name of the occult remains Judah." I said.
Then Yuda fell silent, he looked uneasy and looked uncomfortable.
"Why else Da? Your moves make me uncomfortable." I said.
"To be honest Di, after the incident I was sealed in another realm. My life is not good. Want nothing to fear. Even sleeping alone I was scared. I got it all wrong, want to be afraid." said Yuda.
"Hm. It's only natural that you're scared. Once had a magical experience to get to the same as demit. Hehehehehehe." I said.
"Di, can I ask you a favor?" yuda.
"What do you want to help Da?" my many.
"Emm, gini On. Can you not bring a protective talisman to Grandpa Badrun for me? Who knew Grandpa Badrun had another talisman. I bought it!" Yuda.
His words surprised me.
"Astaghfirullah Da's. Realize lo! Believe in the power of the amulet it's the idol." I reply.
"If you believe the power of the amulet is idolatrous, why do you still wear the mustika ring?" bela Yuda's.
"This ring was given by my great-grandfather, it was for me. Because Grandpa Badrun was my great-grandfather's best friend. I do not believe in the power of this ring, but this ring as an intermediary to protect me. I ask for the protection of the Almighty. The matter of this ring can destroy demons, it's not my power." I explained.
Yuda was silent again.
"After all, I don't know where Grandpa Badrun is. If there was any interest, he would have suddenly appeared out of nowhere." I continued.
Yuda leaned his body on the chair, his hands folded to the back of his head. His eyes were staring at the ceiling, his gaze was blank. I don't know what he's thinking.
"Da, I can help nothing but pray for the safety of those closest to me. As for the protector for yourself, you must ask the Almighty." I said to appease Judah.
Yuda smiled. He's staring.
"It turns out that life in this world is not instant. Just an instant noodle. In fact, just ask for protection we must continue to pray and worship" said Yuda.
I shut up and smiled.
"My prayers are to destroy that red kuntilanak Da. I also want to live a normal life again." I also leaned my body on the chair. My eyes were staring at the ceiling of the shop.
"If this is all over, I want to go home to Da. I miss mom and dad. I miss the atmosphere of my village. I miss mom's cooking. I miss the road in the pematang paddy field. Enjoy the beautiful afternoon, while watching the boys bathe in the river. I miss it all." I said.
Judah fixed his sitting position, he is now firm.
"In, you have any plans to fight the red kuntilanak?" ask Yuda.
Then I shook slowly.
"Nothing?" Yuda surprised. "Do you have a strategy?" ask Yuda again.
I came back slowly.
Yuda patted his forehead, his eyes closed.
"Good Adiiii. How do you want to destroy the red kuntilanak if you don't have a plan and strategy?" Yuda.
I also changed my sitting position.
"If you were me, what would your strategy be?" my many.
Yuda seemed to think. His face looked serious.
"There's no one. Hehehehe." Yuda chuckles.
Hit her arm.
"Eat it don't just talk." I said.
"Eh Da, turn yuk! I want maghrib." take me.
"Yaelah Di, the stage is very back now. Soon maghrib, mending us pray first in the mosque. It was just back." proposed Yuda.
I smile.
"OK." I said.
"Sister! V60 one yes. Toraja Kalosi isn't there?"
"Every Boss of Judah! Ready stock - kakaakk! Waiting for ya." shouted Sister Nia from behind her wagon.
"Kok you even order more coffee Da?" my many.
"Wait for a better adzan while copying Di. Hehehehe." answered Judah accordingly.
* * *
I was in Yuda's drive home at about seven in the night. Yuda continued to coffee after finishing the Maghrib prayer. Surprisingly, the stomach is very strong to enjoy coffee.
"Da, thank you yes." I said as soon as I got off the bike. "Remember! Prayers and prayers, ask for the same protection of the Almighty." I said.
"Ready Mas Adi. Doain me also to be safe." reply Yuda.
"We pray for each other." I said.
Yuda was saying goodbye, he turned the motor gas slowly. The motor left me. I was still standing in front of the empty house near the gate. I saw Yuda's motor slowly disappear after the turn of the light pole.
I open the gate, then I close it. I walked in the courtyard of Nek Iyah's house.
Uh, there's Nek Iyah sitting on the porch chair of the house. I don't know what he's doing. Sitting up straight, Nek Iyah stared at the garage. Empty look.
"Excuse me, Grandma" I said.
I glanced at Nek Iyah, his mouth seemed to be moving rapidly, not clear what he said. I didn't touch him, I quickly left the courtyard to the room. Arriving at the boarding yard, I saw Mas Gun's motorbike parked in front of the room. My bedroom door is wide open.
"Assalamualaikum" I said.
"Getry." Gun shouted from inside the room.
I opened my shoes and went into the room. Mas Gun is cool to lay down his body while playing games on his phone.
"What's college up to this hour?" ask Mas Gun.
"Hehehehe. The coffee was the same as Yuda. Have you eaten a mas?" my many.
"It just so happened this afternoon. You're eating?" Gun asked back.
"Yet mas. But not hungry yet." I replied.
I go inside and take a shower. After the shower I sat in the front room, joined with Mas Gun who was still cool playing games on his phone.
"Eh mas, did you meet the hostess?" my many.
Gun Cuek, he was silent, did not answer my question. His eyes were glued to the phone screen.
"Mas! Whoi!" call me.
"Yes" he said.
"So you met the hostess?" my many.
"Yes" he answered briefly.
"Lo told you not yet that you're boarding here with me?" ask again.
"Say." Gun replied briefly.
"Keep what's mother said?" my many.
Mas Gun did not answer, his face looked seriously at the phone. Her fingers danced on the screen.
"Mas!" call me. "Mas! Mas Gun!" I was a little screaming.
"Whataaa?" he asked in a loud voice. "Aaaahh shit, I'm dead! In the crackle anyway, obviously dead if in the crackle." he was annoyed.
"Mas." I called again.
"What Adiiii?" ask Mas Gun.
"Mas, the hostess said what if you talked about staying here?" my many.
"Not saying anything, I'm in cuekin." replied Mas Gun.
"On cuekin? Did you meet the hostess when?" ask again.
"So pas maghrib." reply Mas Gun. "Mother cost lo even komat-kamit not clear, do not understand me he said what!"
Just like me just now, Nek Iyah was sitting on the porch chair of the house with a blank look and vague comments. Is that true Nek Iyah? I don't know.
