Room No.11B
Part. 70

A cup of coffee of my order came, Sister Nia who drove him. Then join me, Yuda, and Bang Dede.

"Wahyu where? Permission?" my many.

Nia replied, "Izin, he said there are family problems. Don't know what, I'm gonna have a story to get in again."

"Bang, this Adi again has a problem bang. Please in love wobbles!" yuda to Bang Dede.

"What is this problem?" ask Bang Dede.

"Children of college what the hell is the problem, not far, most about romance. Aren't you?" sahut Kak Nia's.

"Naaahh, that's brother! Adi's romance problem again rocked nih." sambar Yuda.

"The girl you used to bring here?" ask Sister Nia.

I kept quiet, didn't answer nor did I bully. I stirred my coffee.

"Silent, that means true. What's the girl's name? Komala huh? Uh, who the hell?" Bang Dede raised his voice.

"The bang." Yuda.

That afternoon we had a long conversation. Bang Dede had left the table for making an order for a customer who had just come and placed an order.

Suddenly, Judah answered the phone. He stood up and walked away from our table. He spoke on the phone shortly, then rejoined. He dipped his coffee in a hurry.

"In, I unplug first yes, there's something important. About niiihh money." he said.

"Nih, I will pay for my coffee." continued Yuda while putting a piece of money fractional one hundred thousand rupiah on the table, then saying goodbye home.

I chatted with Sister Nia, I asked her about her work before opening a coffee business with Bang Dede. Kak Nia said that once he was a successful insurance agent, a month's income could reach tens of millions of rupiah from selling insurance. Everything becomes meaningless when family problems hit it. He did not tell me the details of the problem he faced, nor did I force Kak Nia to tell the story. I'm quite a good listener.

The store began to be crowded, Nia was busy helping Bang Dede make customer orders, I sat alone. I still think about Kemala's mother. Do I have to go back to the hostel?

Ah let it be, if this is the way as Kemala's mother said, that I am the one who will stop all evil, I decide I will return this afternoon to the boarding house. Bismillah, I pray for protection from the Almighty.

"Sister, bang, I'm back. Thank you for the coffee, it has made my mood rise again. "I say goodbye after paying.

"OK At. Thank you." reply Bang Dede.

I walked towards the boarding house, in my mind only ringing the words of Kemala's mother when on the phone earlier. Should I trust him? How do I know he was protecting me from his house? Is that something supernatural? Protecting someone using power from a distance, I don't know. My logic doesn't give it much thought.

And why did Grandpa Badrun never see him again? What by giving the mustika, the problem is finished? He seemed not to want to take a headache, said he wanted to help me, what by handing the mustika to me all the problems resolved? You fucking old grandpa. Be the one who always thinks, I added again in the ghost of the red kuntilanak last night.

I walked into the alley, the atmosphere was shady and the wind was blowing. The entrance of the alley is indeed adem, a grove of trees as if to be the roof. Inadvertently I glanced to the right of the road, there was a figure that was familiar to me. He stood under a big tree in the middle of the garden looking at me. Grandpa Badrun! His longevity, I just grumbled about it, and now he appears.

"Keeekk!" call me. He was still staring at me.

I stepped into the garden wanting to approach him, but as soon as I looked to where he was standing, his figure had disappeared. Damn, is that just my feeling. I saw the whole side of the garden, and there was no figure.

"Son Adi."

Oh, my God, Grandpa Badrun's voice surprised me. Suddenly he was standing right behind me.

"Grandfather, where is the cake? I'm confused to mix scared cake." I said.

"Quiet son, you shouldn't be afraid. True said the woman who contacted you, she will help protect you from afar." said Grandpa Badrun.

"Sorry son, grandfather can't always come. The time will come when the mustika will be useful to you." continued Grandpa Badrun.

"The woman and an inner man" said Grandpa Badrun.

That lady? Who her? Is she Kemala's mother? Who is the man inside?

"Don't abandon your worship habits, son. Because that will strengthen you. The demon had become even more powerful, ever since it had obtained the last soul. But relax, kid, I'm right behind you."

I'm still digesting Grandpa Badrun's words.

"Dek Adiiii." Kang Ujang's voice called out, I turned towards Kang Ujang.

Uh, Grandpa Badrun is gone. Where'd he go? His figure was in front of me. I turned towards Kang Ujang again, he walked over to me.

"Remain here? How can I see Dek Adi talking to himself." said Kang Ujang.

"Eh, by yourself? Didn't Kang Ujang see anyone but me here?" my many.

"No, I saw from afar the Adi ngoceh-nguceh Deck itself. More rehearsals for drama, huh? Hehehehe." reply Kang Ujang.

Who is Grandpa Badrun? A human being or a demite who becomes a human being?

"Just been home from college?" ask Kang Ujang again.

"Yes kang."

We talked while walking towards the hostel. Tonight Kang Ujang invited me to come to know at Pak Rahmat's house, and I agreed. We got in front of the gate, Kang Ujang opened the gate. We also entered the yard of Nek Iyah's house. Walking towards the garage, Kang Ujang went to clean up some used items. I headed to the room, and I saw Nek Iyah standing in the middle of the courtyard. Tents for tahlil events appear to have been dismantled.

He was silent, his hands backward. His face looked up, his eyes closed.

"Mr," my broom.

Nek Iyah opened her eyes, then turned her head slowly towards me. He smiles.

"You go back to the deck" he said briefly, his smile savage, his eyes different.

"I.iya grandma. Excuse me grandma, I enter the room first." I passed, opened the door and entered the room.

While in the room, I briefly glanced back at Nek Iyah, he looked towards my room with his evil smile. This is not right, Nek Iyah looks different. Same with Bang Oji.

Kriiiinngg.

I was shocked, my phone rang. Yudah? What'd he want to call me?

I said, "Yeah, why Da?"

"In, what about the car? I have already got a buyer, doi dare to buy at a high price. Please tanyain!"

yuda.

"Yes yes, tonight I'm trying to ask the hostess."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to the good news. Okay brader. Oh, byeahh."

Judah ended the call.

Apparently he wanted to sell the car again if it was successfully bought from Nek Iyah. Okay, tonight I have to talk to Nek Iyah about the car that Yuda wants.

The afternoon sky looks increasingly blackened, from noon it is already seen cloudy. Just waiting for the clouds to spill their water points. The thunder in the distance was already heard. Yeah, it's gonna rain soon.
