Screamnights
unfulfilled wishes: kunti 1 part 1

            “Isn't life unfair, Mom? There are people who are born with extraordinary beauty, on the other hand there are people who are born with ugly faces. There are people who are born with a comfortable life, on the other hand there are people who throughout their lives must live with all their hard work. There are people who are born with special talents, on the other hand there are people who are born without bringing any talent. If so ... isn't life unfair?” Alena asked her mother a question and made her mother feel annoyed by the question.

            Buk. Alena felt a fierce blow on her head. “Auwwwww!!! Why did you hit my precious head? What if I grow up to be a fool because Mom hit me on the head??”

            “What happened to you until you thought like that, Alena??”

            “Did I think wrong like that, Mom?” Alena replied to her mother's question with another one.

            “Yes, that's wrong. What do you think it's a big mistake!” Alena's mother replied firmly.

            “Jadi ... You never thought Mom's life was unfair??” Alena confirmed.

            “Yes, I never thought about it.” Alena's mother nodded her head without the slightest hesitation.

            “Why???”

            “That thought that comes to your mind, that thought that your life is unfair, because you compare your life with the lives of others. If you never compare your life to someone else's, then you'll never feel your life is unfair. God is fair, Alena. It is the eyes and mind of man that cannot see. But if you're grateful for your life, maybe you'll see a little how God is always fair to all people.”

            I remember, I asked my mother that. I remember that question I asked when I was in school where I always felt jealous and envious of my friends and the family they had. They have a dad who's gonna pick them up and drive them to school, while I don't. They had a mother who always prepared lunch, while I did not because my mother was busy working to support us both.

            Seeing that difference, I felt like my life was really unfair. But when I heard my mother's words back then, I stopped comparing my life to the lives of others. But ... It seems my mother forgot her own words at that time. Because my mom started comparing my life to the lives of my neighbor's children when I was growing up.

            “What are your unfulfilled wishes when you are alive, Kunti 1?” Alena asked straightforwardly to Kunti 1 when Kunti 1 suddenly appeared before her.

            “You asked me, man??” Kunti 1 pointed at himself while furrowing his brows a sign of disbelief at the question Alena asked herself.

            Alena nodded her head. “Ya.”

            “Why? Why ask me that??” Kunti 1 was still astonished by Alena's question.

            “Marketing. Don't you have a good reason why you're still here and trapped in Durawa's funeral?” Alena asked.

            Kunti 1 put a smile on her lips and made Alena shudder along with all the fur on Alena immediately stood up when she saw that smile. Despite living with them for a month, I still couldn't get used to that smile. However I looked at it, it was a scary smile and not a smile at all that could make anyone who saw it dazzle.

            “Maybe I feel my life is unfair.” Kunti 1 answered Alena's question.

            “Not fair? Unfair, how does that mean?” Alena asked by repeating her question.

            Kunti 1 tries to remember how his life as a human before finally becoming a kuntilanak and hanging out at Durawa cemetery. Kunti 1's face then turned scary and made Alena feel even more frightened. And suddenly ... Kunti 1 went berserk with both of his eyes turning like a burning fire. Alena took a few steps back as she sensed the terrifying aura of Kunti 1.

            “Why do you make me remember my old life full of regrets, man???” Kunti 1 raised his tone to Alena and looked at Alena with a sharp look as if he wanted to kill Alena right then and there.

            Vushhh .... Kunti 1 swung her hand towards Alena and in an instant Alena's body crashed backwards due to the swing.

            Damnit damnit! Why is this suddenly? Alena, who was surprised by what happened, did not have time to react to protect and save herself. And buk .... Alena's body hit something after crashing a few meters back.

            “What happened, Alena?”

            “Sadeva! You're finally back!” Alena looked at Sadewa with a happy face.

            Sadewa releases her hand on Alena's body and helps Alena get up. “What happened? Why does Kunti 1 look angry like that?”

            Alena whispered in Sadewa's ear and said the question she had asked Kunti 1. Instantly ... Sadewa picked up the baseball bat he was carrying and fell beside him as he tried to catch Alena's body. Sadewa ran towards Kunti 1 and pressed the back of the Kunti 1 white shirt with his baseball bat.

            “Stop, Kunti 1! Stop that anger!!”

            Kunti 1 who usually always tried to look sweet in front of Sadewa, now looked at Sadewa with a scary and angry look. Alena who was several meters behind Sadewa, was surprised by Kunti 1's gaze because this was the first time Kunti 1 saw Sadewa with a look of wanting to kill.

            What happened to Kunti 1? Why was he looking at Sadewa with such a gaze? Alena asked in her own mind.

            “My life ... my life is full of regrets!! I want to kill those who make me die with regret!!! I want to kill them!! I want to demand revenge on them!!! I want to avenge them because they are, my life ended in a tragic way!!!” Kunti 1 no longer raised his tone and this time shouted loudly. The screams were even able to shake the ground at Durawa's cemetery.

            Gushh .... Kunti 1 swung his hand again and this time it led to Sadewa. Was ... Alena thought Sadewa would crash like her. But Alena's guess was wrong, because Sadewa remained standing in his place as if the strong wind had not touched him. Rather ... Alena who was a few meters behind Sadewa again crashed back a few meters.

            Buk. Alena's body fell and hit a gravestone board at the funeral. “Akhhhh!!”

            “What happened??”  The question was heard along with the appearance of other ghosts near Alena.

            “What happened, Alena?” Kunti 2 who arrived immediately helped Alena rise from the fall.

            “Wah .. wow ... “ Pocong 3 smile when arriving near Alena. “It looks like Kunti 1 is raging again!! And after this .. surely durawapati we will give the best show that we have not seen for a long time.”         

            “Show??” Alena glanced towards Pocong 3 with a look of wonder while enduring the pain in her body. “What show??”

            “Look after this, man!”

            Alena obeyed Pocong 3. Alena looked towards Sadewa who had tried several times to calm Kunti 1. But Sadewa's efforts failed and several times, Kunti 1 swung his hand and made the ghosts along with Alena crashed again and again. Luckily, this time it was Alena along with Kunti 2 and Pocong 3 who helped her to no longer fall and hit the tombstone.

            “I'm sorry, but I'm forced to do this, Kunti 1! I have to stop your anger, Kunti 1!”

            After shouting loudly at Kunti 1, Sadewa then batted his baseball bat to the ground three times and not long after, from inside the burial ground appeared several large chains that directly tied the hands and feet of Kunti 1.

            Alena looked at the incident. “What is it? Where did those chains come from??”

            “This is the reason we never dared to fight durawapati, Alena.” Kunti 2 spoke in response to Alena's question. “Durawapati and her descendants are able to do many things to us.”

            “Isn't this an interesting show??” Pocong 3 smilingly looked towards Alena and once again ... Alena shuddered, fearing the smile of Pocong 3 and at the same time feeling guilty to Kunti 1 because Kunti 1 had to experience it because of questions from Alena.
