"Da, take me to the boarding house now!" I said to Yuda.
Yuda was astonished.
"What's up in there?" ask Yuda.
"Udah let's deliver, I'll tell you in the car."
"Yes yes. Pay a minute." Judah reached into his pants pocket, took his wallet and put a hundred thousand rupiah note on the table.
"Bang, the change will be yes" said Yuda to Bang Dede. Bang Dede just looked at me and Yuda was full of wonder.
I ran towards Yuda's car.
"What the hell is it about Di?" ask Yuda. We got in the car too.
"Da, it turns out that the suicidal jump from the bridge crossing was my hostel neighbor, Bang Oji." I explained.
"Innalilahi, who really lo?" ask Yuda.
"Truly, Kang just chatted me."
Yuda started the car engine, stepped on the gas quickly towards Kost Pak Thamrin. The car entered the alley, then parked next to the house where the deceased Bagas was found. There were already two officer cars, and one ambulance unit that was crowded around people.
I rushed out of the car and got closer to the ambulance. I saw Nek Iyah was sobbing near the orange body bag, behind which Kang Ujang embraced trying to calm down. I broke through the crowd of ambulances approaching Nek Iyah.
"Mother, I'm sorry grandma." I said. Nek Iyah simply nodded, her cheeks wet with tears.
"Mother, would you like to see the body or not?" said officer. Nek Iyah was still crying, she nodded slowly.
"good. Then I open the body bag. Patient mom, ma'am." said the officer. "Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim."
Sreeett. The body bag zipper was opened by officers.

"Yyyyyyyyy.. Ojiiiii, Ojiiii." Nek Iyah's cry broke when he saw the condition of Bang Oji's body.
My nape also creeps when I see Bang Oji's body. Kang Ujang threw away his face.
The condition of Bang Oji's body is very concerning. Combat his head crumpled, his brain white splattered. His face was shapeless. His eyeballs are not there. His body crumbled, there was a black splash similar to the shape of a car tire on his stomach skin. Blood pooled in the body bag, the smell rancid. So appalling.
Instantly my eyes twitched. My body's limp.
Sreeett. Officers closed the body bag.
"Prophey ma'am. Just let it go, ma'am." said the officer.
Then Nek Iyah was led to his house, assisted by Kang Ujang. Some officers went to Nek Iyah's house. I followed behind with Yuda.
Nek Iyah was led to the living room in the house, he sat on the sofa. Police officers also sat down with Nek Iyah. Kang Ujang went to the kitchen, I followed him.
"Kang, would you like to make a drink?" my many.
"Yes deck."
"I help you" I said. Kang Ujang nodded.
Nek Iyah's kitchen was old-fashioned, but the furniture looked modern. The light is a little dim. Kang Ujang made five glasses of warm sweet tea, and a large glass of hot fresh tea.
"Dek Adi please give this to the police fathers." pinta Kang Ujang. I immediately brought five glasses of sweet tea on the tray. While Kang Ujang brought a large glass of fresh tea.
I put the glass on the table, right in front of the officer. An officer asked about Bang Oji.
"How long has the victim left the contract?"
"It's been four days, sir. He just said he wanted to go, but didn't bring a bag with him." replied Nek Iyah.
"Before did you ever see the victim showing an unusual attitude? Or is it not normal?"
"Since my son's death, he's become more reserved sir. All day in the room. Like locking yourself up."
"Hm. Does the victim have enemies?"
"Sure I don't have any sir. I just don't know that at work."
Long enough the officer asked Nek Iyah. Bang Oji's body will be taken for research purposes, and Nek Iyah agrees. The plan, Bang Oji will be buried right next to the tomb of Mbak Wati. After finishing interrogating Nek Iyah the officers left Nek Iyah's house, as well as the ambulance carrying Bang Oji's body.
I also went to the room. In front of room 11a sat my new neighbor, Tika, Yuli, and another woman.
"Misii." I said with a smile.
"Yes bang. Bang Adi wasn't in the dorm room last night, was he?" ask Tika. Yuli and the others just smiled.
"Oh yes, last night at a friend's house." I replied as I opened the room door. Yuda pulled into my room first.
"Ooh pantesan aja." muttered Tika.
"Emm, why Tik?" my many.
Tika got up from her seat, her two friends were indifferent. Tika.
"The waiter for Bang Adi's boarding room last night paced back and forth." said Tika.
Deg deg deg deg. Heart's pounding.
Tika said a waiter? The subtle-creature means?
"Eh, waiter? Meanin?" ask me in a slow voice.
"I don't want to tell you much here. Residents here at the rese, there's a leader. Oh, above." Tika pointed to the window of the room on the second floor of Nek Iyah's house.
"Ah, the hell time? There can't be anything so-so here" I said, calming down.
"It's up to Bang Adi to believe or not. When Bang Adi has time, we can talk. But not here, I'm telling you everything that's here." Tika explained.
I kept quiet not saying.
"Lo can see the supernatural?" my many.
"Ciyeeee. It's so exciting to talk about." Yuli taunted us.
Tika's face changed, she was like a bete.
"Well, we will be obrolin if there is a chance" said Tika.
"Eh uh Tik, then. I want to tell you a lot about you. When can we talk? What kind of faculty?" my many.
"Communication" he answered briefly. "If you want to talk, tomorrow at twelve noon, I wait in the communication cafeteria. Okay." said Tika.
"OK on." I replied.
Perhaps Tika can answer all my questions about the events I experienced during the boarding here. I went into the room too. Yuda is playing a game, he makes a cup of coffee.
"Oohh makes coffee just a glass of coffee?" sindirku.
"Seek to make the same new boyfriend you there. Hehehehe." said Judah. "Eh Di, what was the condition of Oji's body? Serem huh?" Yudah asked.
"Aduuuhh, if you remember it feels like I want to vomit Da. I'll tell you the story later." I replied.
"Yaaahh, your hostess is grieving. When can I get a car. Would you like to be makamin here?" ask Yuda.
"Kang Ujang said that. I'm a fad, where death is not natural anymore."
"Hayo lo, the malls in samperin lo the same demon Oji. Hiiiyy." Yuda scares me, I haven't told you about the sightings I saw in this room, can piss him off.
"Not afraid of me." I replied.
"This child is even abstinent. Actually in samperin lo later, I do not want to help ah if the matter of magic so. Hiiiyyy horrified me." said Yuda.

After the prayer, officers reported to Nek Iyah that he would deliver the body tonight and should be buried immediately. Kang Ujang was busy looking for the grave digger, then contacted ustad to help lead the funeral prayer. Yuda returns home after the Maghrib prayer, his plan to complete the payment and tow the antique car should he postpone until things return to normal.
"Kang, please have a coffee. Sir, it's coffee." I'm delivering four cups of coffee. Three men were busy poking the ground, his sweat drenching the forehead.
"Well, thank you very much Dek Adi. Thank God someone made coffee." said Kang Ujang.
I crouched down near Kang Ujang.
"Kang, who was the first to tell Kang Ujang about Bang Oji?" askaku.
"No one told me anyway, I was just told Nek Iyah to go to the highway, because he said something was going on" he replied while blowing a still hot coffee plan.
"Well, how did he know that Bang Oji killed himself?" askaku.
"No know deck. I just follow Nek Iyah's orders to go to the highway. Uh, as soon as I saw that there were a lot of people who committed suicide."
"Then?" my many.
"It turns out Bang Oji. At first I did not recognize his face because it had been crushed by the car, but once I saw the tattoo on his back I immediately recognized it Oji." explained Kang Ujang.
I thought, how did Nek Iyah know that there was an incident on the highway?
"Which is my question, how did Nek Iyah know there would be an incident on the highway? That's the point kang. And it turns out there was a Bang Oji suicide" I said.
"Feelings alone may be deck. Kan Nek Iyah and Bang Oji still have a brother relationship" said Kang Ujang.
I'm silent. Kang Ujang was silent.
"Did any witness see Bang Oji jump off the bridge crossing the kang?" many further.
"Emm.." Kang Ujang thought. "Oh there's a deck! There's a kebab handyman who used to hang out near the bridge" he replied.
"Has he been asked by the officer about what happened this afternoon?"
"Not yet it seems, there is a parking attendant who said, after Oji jumped the kebabber ran away somewhere. Because he shouted and everyone immediately looked towards the highway." explained Kang Ujang.
What other mystery is this? Why did the kebab man run away when he saw Bang Oji jump from the bridge crossing. Normally, he would ask for help from people around, right?
Liang lahat has finished in the excavation, many residents have gathered to help Bang Oji's funeral. Kang Ujang and I sat on the front porch of my room. Nek Iyah was seen sitting on a chair, right near the back door of his house in the company of Ela and Dini. We who were present waiting for the ambulance came to bring the body of Bang Oji.
Kriiiinngg. Kang Ujang's phone rang. He got up from his seat, then moved away. Shortly after the phone conversation ended, Kang Ujang approached Nek Iyah, he was seen talking to Nek Iyah. Nek Iyah nodded.
Kang Ujang came back to me. And sit back beside me.
"Who's calling?" manya curious.
"That was the ambulance officer on the deck, he said there were obstacles to sending the bodies. The ambulance suddenly broke down. Will be tried to be delivered immediately" replied Kang Ujang.
***
It was 21:10, but the ambulance that delivered Bang Oji's body did not come. Some people decided to go home. We all waited patiently. Nek Iyah was asked to rest inside the house, while waiting for an ambulance.
"Jang, so not in Makamin tonight?" ask a man digging a grave.
"So bang." replied Kang Ujang.
"Kok, it's a long time." she replied.
"Wait a minute." said Kang Ujang.
Strange, why can all this time the officers deliver the body of Bang Oji. It's been two hours, but the ambulance didn't come.
.

.
.

At 22:00.
Ambulance had no sign of coming. The people have all gone home. In the courtyard, there was only the rest of me, Kang Ujang, three gravediggers, Ela, and Dini.
.

At 23.05.
The ambulance did not arrive. The grave digger decided to go home. Because it's been waiting too long. It's just me, Kang Ujang, and Arya. Arya asked Kang Ujang to come help. Ela and Dini have been in the room since.
My eyes are getting sleepy. Kang Ujang looks tired.
Suddenly the rain fell not too heavy, but cold pierced the bone marrow. I invited Kang Ujang and Arya to wait in my room.

At 00:10
I've been sleeping, as well as Kang Ujang, only Arya who has not been sleeping, he cool to see his phone.

At 01:05
"Assalamualaikuuumm." Someone said a greeting from outside my room. Arya moved and opened the door to my room, I woke up. Outside the rain falls heavily. A man in a white uniform who had been soaked by the rain stood in front of my bedroom terrace.
"Vaalaikumsalam. What's the matter, sir?" answer Arya.
"Mas, I want to deliver the bodies" he said. I'm surprised, last night it was only up to Bang Oji's body. Where has he been?
"Sir, how long is it? He said in between, what time is it?" Kang Ujang grumbled, he was awake.
"Oh sir I am also confused, there are four ambulances who want to intersect the body of Mr. Oji there are always obstacles" replied the officer.
"Sir, his body must be buried immediately tonight as well yes, because it has smelled bad." continued the officer.
"Where's the body sir?" ask Kang Ujang.
"It's in the car sir. Come on!"
We rushed to the car carrying Bang Oji's body. As soon as we saw, jeez Bang Oji's body was delivered by a car los tub. We had a rain shower that night.
"Sir, don't you wear a box? These are crash victims, body bag life?" my many.
"The hat's out sir. It's been searched everywhere no one is available" he replied. "Let's pick up sir!" ask the officer.
Me, Kang Ujang, and Arya looked at each other.
"Sir, let's go pick up. Directly in makamin ya." the officer again ordered.
The three of us were still staring at each other, confused. What we should do. The rain was getting heavier, the lightning was thundering, the occasional flash of light illuminating the night.
"Sir, I'm even on a whim. His body will stink. Let's pick up sir!"
I'm silent. Kang Ujang swallowed. Arya just stared at the body bag in front of her. What should we do with Bang Oji's body? While we were just three.
