I stood in the courtyard of the boarding house, waiting for Mas Gun to be ready. This morning we walked to the campus. Because Mas Gun's bike is still at Yuda's house. Maybe after college I'll take it.
Srak srak. There was the sound of a broomstick swiping.
Ah, it must be Nek Iyah. I haven't seen her for a long time. How did his face look after getting two guys crashed yesterday. It must look very fresh and charming. His body was strong and looked healthier.
"Maaaa. Go hunted!" yell called.
I saw that Tika's room door was still closed. Either he didn't go to college or he left first. All I know is that Yuli's been gone since early morning.
Mas Gun exited the room while buttoning his shirt. The sweat on his forehead looks full. The problem of fat people is excessive sweating. That's what Mas Gun used to say to me.
The shoes were not worn properly. The back is stepped on. I don't wear socks either. I can't imagine having to sniff out the smell of Mas Gun's shoes. You can get to the ER. His shoes were black, but brownish dust seemed to envelop his shoes.
"Yeah!" take Mas Gun while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"Have a little towel left yet?" my many.
"Udah. Yuk ah!"
The little towel became Mas Gun's flagship weapon. It works to sweat. If there are no small towels, I don't know how many packs of tissue Mas Gun must prepare.
We walked through the garage. The sound of a broomstick swiping on the ground was still heard. I can't wait to see Nek Iyah.
We arrived at Nek Iyah's house. That's the guy! Nek Iyah was sweeping the courtyard using a broomstick.
Uh. But. But why was his body bent as usual? Didn't he get two collars?
Suddenly Nek Iyah turned towards us.
Gosh darn. That's Nek Iyah? Why why. Why does his face make me pangling? His face looks dirty. His eye bags are sagging. Wrinkles filled his entire face. Her eyes are watery red. His lips were trembling without a care. Her hair looks sparse, almost towards baldness. What happened to Nek Iyah? Didn't he get two collars?
"D-d-dec Adi. You wanna go to college?" asked Nek Iyah in a stern manner.
"Eh. I-iya Nek." I replied.
Nek Iyah smiled. Some of his teeth look toothless.
"Mother."
"Yes, Adi Deck. Is there a problem in the room?" ask Nek Iyah.
"No, Grandma."
"Then what's up?" ask Nek Iyah.
"Is Nek Iyah healthy? Grandma looks sick." I said.
Nek Iyah smiled again.
"I'm fine Deck. I'm just tired." he replied.
Mas Gun patted my arm. I'm appalled.
"Sir, we go to college first. Excuse um. Assalamualaikum." Mas Gun quickly said as he pulled my hand.
Nek Iyah simply smiled and replied with a nod.
We quickly left the room.
"Why do you care about Nek Iyah Di? All asked his condition. Obviously he is the culprit who makes you come to this way" said Mas Gun.
"Aneh Mas's. That's why I asked her condition."
"Any? The strange thing is that you Di. Why care about people who have clearly wanted to harm you" said Mas Gun.
"What makes it strange is why after getting two people tumbal, Nek Iyah's face did not turn younger and fresher. That's what I call weird."
"Well, how was it before?" ask Mas Gun.
"Either when Pak Rahmat who became a victim or Bang Oji, which is clear after a person became a facial collision Nek Iyah looks much younger. Her body looks fresher." I explained.
Mas Gun did not respond.
If Nek Iyah is like that, where are the two souls that became the red kuntilanak tumbal?
We reached the front of the alley and passed by Kang Ujang.
"Dek Adi's. Mas Gun's. You wanna go to college?" ask Kang Ujang.
"Yes Kang."
"Aduuuhh has not been copying together with Dek Adi and Mas Gun" said Kang Ujang.
"Later night to my house dong. We copy. Come on Dek Adi, Mas Gun. I finished picking bananas in the garden, quite able to make fried bananas." said Kang Ujang.
"Waaahh, steady Kang. Okay deh. Later that night I'm with Adi to the house." replied Mas Gun.
"God willing Kang. If there is no busyness I same Mas Gun to the house." added me.
"OK deh. I'm going to go to Nek Iyah's house first." Kang Ujang passed by leaving us.
Me and Mas Gun continued on their way to campus.
"In, the moment is right. Later that night to Kang Ujang's house, all of us find information about Nyai Asih's baby grave and the history of Mr. Thamrin's antique car" said Mas Gun.
"Yes Mas. May there be a bright spot. Fatty is also haunted by constant mystery." I said.
"In, when will the Mas Gun motorcycle be taken? If later afraid in kiloin same bokap. Hehehehe." asked Yuda.
We left class together. Today my class schedule is only until one in the afternoon. Thank goodness I had plenty of time after college.
"Come to your house. Later on I bring Mas Gun motorbike." take me.
"Well, isn't Gun coming?" ask Yuda.
"It looks like it's not. He went to college until the afternoon he said." I replied.
Yuda took me to eat first before going to his house. Gado-gado lontong became his choice. I'll come along, Yuda who treats me.
After eating, we headed to Yuda's house. Coincidentally also today Yuda was driving a car. So I don't have to bother looking for a helmet loan.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the house of Judah.
"Sir, ask for help outin the white motor dong." Yuda asked the security guard for help.
"Di, you didn't just unplug it, did you?" ask Yuda as soon as we get out of the car.
"No. I want to have a coffee first. It's okay, right?"
"Have a coffee there, you want to bring it home for Mas Gun is also okay." tell Yuda.
We entered the house through the side door.
We sat by the pool. My eyes feel fresh seeing the blue water in the pond. Plus ornamental plants and green trees. Before long, Ma'am delivered my ordered coffee and a glass of sweet iced tea from Yuda.
"In, I want to ask you something dong" said Yuda while smoking his cigarette.
"Ask aja. It's so stiff Da."
"In, I've been on a prank lately. Don't know why. Maybe since seeing the condition of Mas Steve's body yesterday yes. Don't you feel it either?" ask Yuda.
I was confused as to what to answer.
"A. I am serious about Di. My feelings are not so much. I was afraid something bad happened." Yuda said. His worried face could not be hidden.
"Sama Da's. If you say scared, maybe that word is more suitable for me. Kan lo know about the red kuntilanak who are after me, plus now their strength increases by joining two demits" I replied.
"Do you have any advice for me?" ask Yuda again.
I let out a breath. I leaned my body into the chair. I folded my hands and put them behind my head. I looked at the clear afternoon sky.
"prayer. It's just like Da." I replied.
"Udah Di's. Every time I pray, please protect my birth and mind. I, my family, my best friend, and all the people closest to me." said Yuda.
"If it's all done, what else would you do?" my many.
Yuda fell silent. It sucks up the sweet iced tea.
"If all has been done, we just have to wait for the answer from the Almighty. If the effort has been, worship has been, prayer has been. Whatagain? It is up to the Power, our prayers are granted or postponed." I said.
I told Yuda about my dream last night. Yuda was surprised to hear my story. My hair is goosebumps. He was getting scared, his feelings getting less and less.
"My message is just one for Lo Da" I said.
Yuda was silent, his gaze sharp.
"Portify yourself lo with dhikr Da. In my dream, the demon said in a moment. I, Mas Gun, and Tika have also started to prepare themselves. I want you to do the same with me and my friends." I said.
Yuda still silently looked at me.
"Pray me and my friends, hopefully can destroy the red kuntilanak. Thank you for being part of the beautiful story of my life. If it turns out I can no longer accompany you coffee someday. Please don't forget me as your best friend. I never forgot Bagas as my best friend." I continued.
My tears are standing at the end of my eyes. Waiting spilled.
Yuda bowed, his hands trembling.
The clouds look cloudy this afternoon. Sunlight was not as strong as it was, not as loud as it was. The sky, as thick as my heart.
But..
I can't cry.
I can't be weak.
I can't give up.
My determination to eradicate the red kuntilanak is getting hotter. I still want to continue living. I want my mom's dad to see me wearing a toga. I want to continue to be friends with Tika, Yuda, Mas Gun, and all my best friends.
Bismilbornrahmanirrahiem.
