I sat for about ten minutes on the front porch of my room, thinking back to what Nek Iyah said earlier, digesting every word, guessing at people I just knew. Wh who? At least three people in the coffee shop and Kemala, the rest I think there is none.
Ah, rather than protracted it is better that I rest. Thank goodness tomorrow's lecture schedule is not too early, so my break time can be longer. I turn the key and open the door.
Clik. I turned on the lights of the room, the front room and the middle room.
Oh my God, there's black liquid in my living room again. It feels like this heart. It's not too much, it's not overflowing like the other day. But it still makes me have to clean it properly. An unpleasant smell filled the middle of my room.
I cleaned the black liquid thoroughly, did not want any residue or smell left behind, could not be comfortable sleep tonight if the stench does not disappear. Tomorrow I have to report to Nek Iyah or Kang Ujang, I have to! Nek Iyah should know, if the room I rented is problematic.
Haaahh, I take a long breath. Finally finished also cleaning this pesky liquid. After cleaning and performing the prayer, I lay my body on the bed. Enjoy stretching the body.
I went to bed at exactly 21:00, probably because I was too tired. Luckily Bang Oji didn't knock on my door to have a chat and a coffee, because I just heard the sound of his motorbike passing in front of my room.

"Adiiii.." call someone.
His voice was soft, voluptuous. I opened my eyes. Darkened.
"Adiiii. Go." call the voice back.
I looked all over, but could see nothing, too dark.
"Hooiiii, who's there?" shouted asked.
"Adiiii. Go." the voice called me back and told me to leave.
I still can't see anything.
Suddenly silence. The voice calls are no longer heard. Silent. Slender.
"Hiks.. Hu hu hu hu. Hiks.." there was a sound of crying, shrieking his voice.
"Hey, who's there?" yell called.
The sound of crying is still heard. Suddenly there was a rowdy sound like many people were screaming, squealing, in pain, and even laughing. I covered my ears and my eyes, the noise deafening.
When I opened my eyes, surprise wasn't play. A woman's face covered in blood and black liquid was plastered in front of my face. His eyes widened looking up, his mouth gaping with his tongue sticking out. From within his mouth spewed out fresh blood smelling rancid, dripping down his chin.
I shouted very loudly and..
***
Oeee oeee oeee.
A dream, it was just a dream, I thought when I opened my eyes. Crazy, why two nights in a row do I have weird dreams? Again the sound of baby crying, this must be three o'clock at night. Sure enough, after I saw the clock on my phone the time showed at 03:03.
"Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm.."
Uh, who's humming these nights? Sharpen my ears. Oh, my God, that's a woman humming. It sounds like a Nina Bobo song. I was scared, but very curious. His voice was so clear and sounded close. There was a stormy war going on inside me, between going out of my room and finding out who was humming, or going back to sleep and covering my body with a blanket.
I got out of my bed, and my curiosity won the war. My front room light was still on, I approached the window. Then I open the gordyn's end a little. My eyes glanced at every corner of the boarding yard. Ah, a lot of unattainable and visible angles. I shifted towards the door. I looked back a little bit at the end of the gordyn, I looked towards the water tank tower in front of room 11a and the empty garden next to it. Niente. There was nothing, but the humming sound was still clearly heard.
I'm back with the empty garden next to room 11a. Oh, my God, who is that? My heart was beating fast, I gulped. I squinted my eyes. That, that's Ela! What's Ela doing under the tree? I opened the door and went out of the room. Walk slowly closer to room 11a. Ela seemed cool humming the song Nina Bobo while holding a small pillow. His hands occasionally patted the pillow he was carrying, as if it were a baby.
"Ela." call me slow.
"Well, is that La?" my many.
Does Dini, her roommate have no idea that Ela's out of the room? Ela was still humming quietly. His eyes looked at the pillow he was carrying, once a smile from his lips strung together. I shuddered in fear at the sight.
"Ela." call me again.
Suddenly he stopped humming. His face looks angry. Then his eyeballs slowly moved looking towards me. My hair was goosebumps when Ela looked furiously at me. His gaze filled with anger, I seemed to disturb his pleasure.
Ela was silent and still looked at me sharply. Then he threw a pillow that he was originally carrying and pat spoiled like a baby. Then, the part that made my body limp the most with fear was that, Ela suddenly chuckled like night as she was possessed. Laughter giggled, the sound of her laughter shrill. I ran towards Bang Oji's room, banged on the door strongly and called out to him. Bang Oji opened the door and exited.
"Bang, Ela is possessed again bang." I said quickly.
"Ela? Where's where?" ask Bang Oji.
"That's a bang, that's it." pointed me towards Ela who was laughing chuckling under the tree.
"Ela's Arabfirullah! Ela call it La!" bang Oji said, as he approached towards Ela.
Ela was still laughing, her body leaning against the big tree. His hands back, clinging to the tree.
"Astaghfirullah's. Ela, call it La." Bang Oji spoke again.
Just as Bang Oji finished speaking, suddenly Ela's body moved up into the tree. Ela climbed up the tree like Spiderman, she just stuck her hand on the tree and moved up the tree while laughing. Bang Oji and I retreated while saying Istighfar.
"Di, Awaken Early. Tell Nek Iyah's house, ask Nek Iyah for help." Bang Oji told me.
As fast as lightning I banged on Early room, room 11d. He woke up with a face of panic and fear. I told Dini to call Nek Iyah for help. Dini saw Ela who was stuck in a tree, she cried as she passed away to the house of Nek Iyah.
Soon came with Nek Iyah. Back Nek Iyah brought a glass of water like the first time Ela was possessed. His steps are a little broken. Nek Iyah approached me and Bang Oji followed Dini behind her.
Nek Iyah looked at Ela, she just shook her head.
"Red, you act again apparently" said Nek Iyah calmly.
Ela was still laughing giggling.
"What do you want Red?" ask Nek Iyah.
"Chiihihihi. I came. Just to make a promise.. Badriyahh." answered Ela flatly, her voice was not like Ela's.
"Promise?" Nek Iyah briefly said.
"Janjimuh's chat.. Badriya. Hihihihihihi." reply to Ela who is not the real Ela.
"It's not yet time for you to collect Red's promise. Now get out of the girl's body!" sergeant Nek Iyah.
"Chiihihihi. I love this child.. Aadriyahh."
"I'm. glad young man. Hihihihihihi." continued Ela.
Nek Iyah closed her eyes, her mouth twitching like a spell. Soon, Nek Iyah opened her eyes and gulped water from the glass. Then it gushed out Ela who was still attached to the tree trunk. Dini could only cry seeing her possessed best friend.
"Chiihihihi. I warned you, Badriyah. Badrun is training the boy whoh. you promised me. padakuhh." said Ela.
Nek Iyah again gulped down water and spouted it out on Ela.
"Kihihihihihihihi." Ela laughed a long laugh, then fell down from the top of the tree. We who watched were surprised. It was fortunate that Ela fell on the ground and piles of dried leaves. Bang Oji and I hurried to lift Ela into her room. Dini was still crying, her face implying an overwhelming fear, just like me.
Ela was laid on the bed, her lips cut and bleeding from a fall, her cheeks dirty with the ground. Bang Oji told Dini to get a towel soaked in water to clean the wound and Ela's face. Nek Iyah took out a glass of water, the water he recited the spell and blew it.
"Here, later if Ela realizes please in love to drink this water yes." pinta Nek Iyah.
Dini just nodded. I know, Dini was very scared.
"N.nek, Dini is afraid of being alone" he said slowly.
Nek Iyah was silent, she understood what she felt Early.
"Oji same Dek Adi, you accompany Dini to sleep in this room. Sleep in the front room, just in case Ela's okay." tell Nek Iyah.
"Yes grandma. Over there, get a pillow! Poor Dini is scared if only the two are the same as Ela." said Bang Oji.
Tonight, Bang Oji and I slept in the front room of room 11d to accompany the frightened Dini. Just in case Ela gets possessed again. My mystical experience has increased since I occupied this hostel. Twice I saw Ela possessed, and the name Red which was always called by Nek Iyah. The more I wonder, what exactly is Nek Iyah with Red? So what promise were they talking about? I couldn't close my eyes again, back to the scene. How frightening.
