Room No.11B
Part. 81

I hitchhiked on Yuda's bike until the front of the alley, after which I walked to Pak Rahmat's house to know. A little late I came, people were crowded. Kang Ujang is in the front row. Coincidentally the back seat was empty, I was sitting together with some brat responsibilities.

"Eh, kemaren gua nge-rank lost anjir. Kesel bat dah cave, the cement on the fool njir. On nob all." said a boy.

"Lu nob times." said the boy next to him.

"Anjaaayy, bay wan dah lu ama gua anjir. Who's nob, what's your cave." The first boy pulled the veins.

"Come, this abis yes." challenge the boy next door.

I wanted to ignore them but their chatter was heard. Child chat now is not far from the game, and tiktok.

During the tahlil I heard boy chats, their discussion about skin, games, sweet women beside the house, to their idol Youmute chanel. I don't understand what they're talking about.

Tahlil is done, thank goodness I want to move out of this seat immediately. Boy's chatter makes my head wince. I also approached Kang Ujang.

"Eh Dek Adi, I don't think I came" said Kang Ujang when he saw me approaching him.

"Come dong, it's the last night. Em kang, the student who just saw the room so it doesn't cost there?" my many.

"I don't know the deck, I told them to talk to Nek Iyah. But the hell they have a crush on the room, just seem to be afraid because it is close to Mbak Wati's tomb." explained Kang Ujang.

"Yes kang, what else are they all girls. It's natural." welcome me.

"Eh deck, indeed Dek Adi often experience mystical events at the boarding house?" ask Kang Ujang.

"A few times kang. Indeed why?" my many.

"Sorry deck, is Dek Adi no intention to move from there? I'm sorry I didn't throw you out." sergeant Kang Ujang.

"There was an intention to move kang. Remember not the one we met in the afternoon, when I brought a big bag?"

"Em remember that."

"That morning I was about to move, I packed my clothes in that big bag. Because the night, I saw the appearance of a red kuntilanak in the front room of my room kang." I explained.

"What's? Red kuntilanak?" Kang Ujang was surprised.

"Yes kang."

"Then if you have the intention to move, why is Dek Adi back again?" Kang Ujang asked.

"Kang, I really want to move from there. But there's something else that keeps me in that cabin." I explained.

"What deck? What keeps Dek Adi there?" ask Kang Ujang.

"Grandfather Badrun's Speech."

"Grandfather Badrun?" Kang Ujang was flabbergasted when I mentioned his name.

"I've asked Kang Ujang, if Kang Ujang knew Grandpa Badrun, then Kang Ujang nodded. Remember right?"

"Yes I remember you calling Grandpa Badrun's name. Is he deck healthy?" ask Kang Ujang.

"Healthy kang. He never showed himself again. He just put something on me." I replied.

Kang Ujang stroked his chin. He seems to think.

"Did something? What's the shape of a necklace?" ask Kang Ujang.

Jesus, why would he guess correctly about the mustika given by Grandpa Badrun. Indeed, the shape of a necklace with a stone pendant wrapped in black cloth. What is the mystery behind mustika?

"Lho, how does Kang Ujang know that Grandpa Badrun entrusted to me the necklace?" my many.

Kang Ujang did not answer.

"The necklace belonged to a saint who pretended to know nothing. Everything I told Dek Adi, will be interconnected and boils down to two brothers." explained Kang Ujang.

Sisters? I didn't ask who the brothers Kang Ujang meant, I wanted Kang Ujang himself to say who.

"They are two people who have taken all the happiness of the family of Mr. Thamrin." continued Kang Ujang.

Hendra approached me and Kang Ujang. Oh shit, just bother this kid.

"Kang Ujang, Bang Adi, thank you for coming again" he said.

"Sama-sama Dra." replied Kang Ujang. "Together bang." I replied.

"Eh Kang Ujang with Bang Adi, then don't go home first." pinta Hendra.

"What is Dra?" ask Kang Ujang.

I kept quiet not asking.

"Just don't go home. Later, wait for residents to go home all I just told you." replied Hendra in a soft voice.

Oh shit, I was curious. Previously made curious about Kang Ujang who has not mentioned two brothers. And now Hendra, me and Kang Ujang are asked not to go home.

"Now we coffee first, then I will tell ya." continued Hendra.

Hendra called a teenager, he asked for three cups of coffee for me, Kang Ujang, and for Hendra himself. Coffee came along with two snack dishes, we chatted casually. Not talking about the ritual of Cirebon men. does not discuss red kuntilanak, and does not discuss other mystical things. Little by little the people say goodbye.

The house of the late Mr. Rahmat is not too crowded, almost all the surrounding residents have returned home. Stay family and relatives, it is not too much. But Hendra has not yet told the reason that I and Kang Ujang did not rush home.

"Assalamualaikum." I turned, Arya?

"Yes, how did it just come?" ask Kang Ujang.

"Yes nih kang, told Hendra to come when it was a bit quiet" he replied.

"What is Dra?" ask Kang Ujang to Hendra.

"Later kang. Relax first." replied Hendra. " Yes, would you like to have a coffee?" Hendra asked Arya.

"May I." replied Arya.

Hendra again called a teenager and asked for help to make a glass of coffee for Arya. Coffee comes with a plate of steamed sponge. We talked again, Arya had a story about the incident last night. Hendra, who did not know what happened, listened seriously.

At 23:50, the house of the late Mr. Rahmat was deserted. There were only three teenagers left, Hendra's brother.

"I'm going inside first." Hendra retreats.

"Yes, what's the matter? I'm the same Dek Adi can't go home, until all the residents come home." asked Kang Ujang to Arya.

Arya did not answer.

"Kang Ujang, Bang Adi, here! Yeah, here Yes." Hendra called from the porch.

The three of us headed to the porch, then sat cross-legged on the mat on the title. Before long, three Cirebon men came out of Hendra's house. Well, what does this mean? The three men sat down to join us. We sat in a circle, Hendra joined in. Me and Kang Ujang did not say a word.

"Assalamualaikum everything." said Hendra.

We answered Hendra's greeting, "Waalaikumsalam."

"Previously sorry for Kang Ujang and Bang Adi, for being included in tonight's ritual?" said Hendra.

Whahuh? Me and Kang Ujang included in the ritual? What other ritual is this? This is not right.

"Dra, what does that mean? How did Dek Adi and I participate in the ritual?" ask Kang Ujang. Good kang, good thing Kang Ujang asked.

"I don't mean follow the ritual kang, just watch. Because Kang Ujang and Bang Adi are part of someone who has made my late father like that" Hendra said.

"meaning?" I raise my voice.

"Grandfather." Hendra replied.

"Huh? No! I don't want to follow Dra. I don't want to be a witness." Kang Ujang got up from his seat, his voice was loud.

I'm rattled.

"I'm saying goodbye!" said Kang Ujang.

"Kang, Kang Ujang." Hendra wakes up, trying to stop Kang Ujang from leaving.

"What?" Kang Ujang asked Hendra.

"I have nothing to do with this, yes, I have nothing to do with Nek Iyah." Kang Ujang.

I was still sitting quietly watching Kang Ujang flounder.

"Yes kang, I'm sorry. I don't mean it that way." said Hendra.

Arya and the three Cirebon men just looked on without saying.

"No! Anyway I went home." said Kang Ujang. "Dek Adi, let's go home! We have no business here." asked Kang Ujang.

I also hurried to get up from sitting. Then we left the house of Mr. Grace.

"Lho, Kang Ujang why is the road coming with me? It's Kang Ujang's house there." I asked.

"It's okay, these are cigarettes" he replied.

"Kang, why is Kang Ujang angry with Hendra?"

"Obviously I'm angry deck, we're outsiders Nek Iyah. Nothing to do with the incident, we just happened to be in contact with Nek Iyah. Dek Adi kost there, while I work there. That's all it is." he explained.

"If the ritual turns out to cause the death of someone either on the side of Hendra or Nek Iyah himself and we are there, we will also be hit by the police. Really no?" continued.

Makes sense. I can't believe Kang Ujang is thinking far ahead.

"Because of such mystical things we do not understand the deck. Danger or non-danger, safe or not" he continued.

We chatted in front of the alley, Kang Ujang still smoking his cigarette.

"How do you think kang?" my many.

"Let them do the ritual, the important thing is that we are not there. To succeed or not is their business." replied Kang Ujang.

"Dec, sorry. Adi's deck has been dragged so far" said Kang Ujang.

"It's okay" I replied.

"Yes, I'm home on deck. Adi's deck dares to be alone to the boarding house?" ask Kang Ujang.

"Brave kang. Hehehe." I replied.

We also split up. On the road to the boarding house, I thought about Kang Ujang's talk. It is true that Kang Ujang and I did not participate in the ritual. Because such mystical and magical things we cannot see, only certain people. It could be that they want to scapegoat me and Kang Ujang for their revenge desire. Me and Kang Ujang are blind to such supernatural things. I don't know.
