Screamnights
the ghost and his absurd life part 3

            Since the incident in which Alena was chased by Pocong 3 and Pocong 4, Sadewa tells Alena some tricks when Alena meets with nosy ghosts who intend to make Alena scared when Sadewa is not visiting Durawa's funeral.

            Trick 1: If you meet Pocong, ask him what he wants when he scares you. And if the answer is to remove the pocong rope that binds it, then follow the request. And before doing so, ask this to the pocong: “You sure you want to take off your pocong rope in front of me?? I'm a girl, and once I take off the pocong rope that ties you, you'll be naked? Hows it? You still want to do it?”

            Alena initially doubted the trick that Sadewa had given her. But in fact .. the trick really worked. When Alena meets Pocong 3 and Pocong 4 who put on her scary face, Alena emboldens herself with all her strength and asks the question to the two. And when he heard Alena's question, Pocong 3 and Pocong 4, immediately jumped back and forth to move away from Alena to get away.

            “Basically you perverted woman!!”       

            Although Alena had to hear that sentence from Pocong 3 and Pocong 4 who jumped up and down from her, but that way really worked and worked. Thanks to that question, Pocong 3 and Pocong 4 completely stopped bothering and scaring Alena.  

            Trick 2: When you meet Sundel Bolong or Kuntilanak, remove the scissors and threaten them by cutting off their clothes or their hair. Those dirty white long clothes were the only clothes they had. And if you cut it off and make it look sexy, then the pride of Sundel Bolong and Kuntilanak as scary female ghosts will disappear. There ... they will look sexy and no longer scary. And if that doesn't work, do this: cut their tangled long hair short! In addition to the long white clothes and dirty because of the soil, long hair is the hallmark of Sundel Bolong and Kuntilanak. The long, tangled hair is like a crown that makes them look scary and if you cut them, you'll have Sundel Bolong's pride and Kuntilanak gone.

            “Edit?” Alena asked Sadewa for suddenly bringing her scissors. “For what did you give me scissors?”

            “This ... is a good weapon when meeting Sundel Bolong or Kuntilanak.”

            Alena didn't believe that either. But the trick Sadewa gave was really powerful. With scissors brandishing and threatening to cut clothes and hair, Sundel Bolong and Kuntilanak, who had intended to scare Alena, drifted away with an annoyed face.

            Trick 3: If you encounter a dead-head ghost, do this to save yourself: Ask the ghost to the mound to follow your movements. Make him throw away what his hands hold and when the ghost of the stumped head throws away his own head that is in the hand. When it's done, kick that head away from his body and you have time to escape from it.

            Unlike the previous two tricks, this third trick was quite difficult for Alena. Because both Alena and Sadewa, both must be smart to think of a way to get the ghost of a muffled head fooled repeatedly. And until now, Sadewa had always managed to trick the ghost of the stump head until finally the ghost was subject to his orders.

            “How do you make a dumb-head ghost submit to you?” Alena asked Sadewa.

            “I repeatedly managed to trick the ghost of the stump head. But one time ...I who was trying to retaliate to prank the ghost of a buttered head, actually carried his head running for days. I asked Kunti 1 to hang the head belonging to the ghost of the stump head on a tall tree and make it difficult to climb a tree to take his head for a few days.”

            Alena laughed at Sadewa's words. Alena really did not expect Sadewa who still looks young as durawapati it turned out to be a slightly nosy type of person. Alena also does not expect Sadewa to find strange ways to fight ghosts. “You are truly unique, Sadewa. This way of yours .. is really unexpected.”

            “Thank you.”

            Trick 4: If you meet a ghost of genderuwo, just call it Kuntilanak. Some kuntilanak ghosts like to get attention.

            “Hahahahah .... “ Alena laughs at the explanation for remembering how some kuntilanak ghosts attempted to seek attention from Sadewa by tidying up their tangled hair which actually did not change even after tidying up.

            Trick 5: If you meet a tuyul, you'd better not ask them to play. Although some of them look like adorable children, but when fun to play they will never get tired. If you can not escape from tuyul, it is better to call sundel bolong. Tuyul will be upset when the sundel bolong comes, because the sundel bolong will make the tuyul can not play by holding it.

            “Is that true?” Alena asked Sadewa.

            “Yes. Don't you know the origin of the ghost of sundel bolong?” Sadewa turned around to ask Alena.

            “A little bit much, I know. There are several versions, only which one is true I don't know. I only know Sundel bolong died from giving birth from his back.” Alena gave me the answer.

            “Although many versions circulate about how the origin of ghosts from sundel bolong, but there is only one that is certain. As you said Sundel Bolong is a ghost who lost his son through his back. Therefore ... they will be very happy with tuyul. Whether tuyul is indeed their dead child or not, sundel bolong will still be happy to see tuyul.”

            Trick 6: If you meet a ghost, it would be better if you climb a tree or climb a high, narrow place like a tree.

            “Is there a ghost ngesot here too?” Alena asked with a surprised face because for several days living in Durawa cemetery, she had never met the ghost of a nun.

            “No.”

            “Then why did you give me that trick?” Alena asked with a confused face.

            “Only just in case. Maybe next time if you meet a ghost, you will meet a ghost ngesot.”

            “Have you ever met so many ghosts?” Alena asked curiously.

            “Why did you ask?” Sadewa turned around to ask.

            “I'm curious.”

            “We have the talent to see ghosts all except my mother.” Sadewa.

            “Your mother?? Why can't your mom see them?” Alena asked again.

            “Because my mother is a daughter-in-law and not a descendant of the durawapati family. So ... My mother could never see creatures like ghosts. But all of his children can. Me and my two brothers, they can all see ghosts. Even outside Durawa cemetery we can see them.”

            Alena looked at both of Sadewa's deep black eyes as if the black color could swallow her at any time. I envy those eyes. If I had those eyes, could it be that I could meet my mother?
