Screamnights
unfulfilled desire: pocong 2 part 1

            “What happened??” Manda hit Sadewa and the punch was hard enough that Sadewa had to retreat when she received the punch on her handsome face. “Why did you disappear for two days and Alena's body suddenly bruised like this???”

            Gala, shocked by what Manda had done, immediately pulled Manda away from Sadewa and tried to calm Sadewa. “What are you doing, Manda?? Why should I hit Sadewa??? You don't have to be like this!! We can talk carefully!!”

            “A-me ... “ Manda can not resist his emotions that are currently being mixed. So Manda could only walk away and cry beside Alena's bed by holding Alena's hand.

            “I represent Manda to apologize.” Gala apologized to Sadewa.

            “It's okay. I understand Manda's feelings. It has been a month and Alena is still unconscious, if this happens to me .. maybe I will also do the same with Manda.”  As usual ... Sadewa tries to be wise by understanding the situation of Manda and Gala.

            “Thank you very much.” Gala was a little relieved because Sadewa did not feel angry with Manda's actions and was covered in chest. “For these two days ... Where have you gone? We were both guarding Alena, half-dead at the sight of Alena's body convulsing before many bruises appeared on her body. What happened to Alena there?”

            Sadewa folded his hands and then tapped his fingers. Currently ... Sadewa is worried about seeing Manda and Gala's concerns for Alena, but on the other side ... Sadewa could not reveal what had happened in Durawa's funeral to the living. The supernatural and the human realm are two different worlds, that is the teaching received by Sadewa when studying with his brother who is now running away because he cannot accept the task as a durawapati.

            “I can only say that I disappeared because I was helping Alena. I'm sorry for not being able to take good care of Alena and making you two worry. But one thing you guys should know, I'm really trying to protect Alena over there.”

            Gala accepts Sadewa's remarks and considers it a promise from Sadewa that will protect Alena no matter what. “What about Alena's situation there? Is she okay?"

            "Yes, he's fine. Soon ... I'm sure Alena will definitely be back.”

            “Thank you very much, Sadewa.”

            Sadewa came out of Alena's nursery after a conversation with Gala. Before you go ... Sadewa looked towards Alena who was still lying in a coma on her bed. Sadewa looked with an envious look at Alena. Honestly .. I feel so envious of you, Alena. Knowing you makes me feel a little envious, those two friends. But ... They really, really love and care about you. While I ... My brother even left me and made me take on his duties.

            “You work well, Alena.” Bendara Abinawa gave a little praise to Alena.

            “Thank you for that compliment, Grandpa. But I didn't come here to hear that compliment.” Alena thrust out one of the two white balls she carried from the genderuwo nest. One ball is no longer white because the spirit stored in it has gone quietly to the afterlife which is none other than Chandara-lover of Surya-Pocong 1. While the other ball was still white, it was just .. it no longer spoke to Alena as before and that's why Alena came here. Anyway, the ball didn't talk and Alena ran out of sense. His last attempt was to meet Bendara Abinawa who had a talent for reading the minds of others.

            “You came because of that white ball in your hand?” The Abinawa rider tried to read Alena's mind.

            “Yes, Grandpa. Before when I was in the nest, the spirit gendered in this bottle spoke to me. But now ... no matter how I try, this ball still does not want to talk. I've run out of sense, Cake.” Alena looked at the white ball in her hand with a sad face.

            The Abinawa rider reached out his hand asking for the ball that was in Alena's grasp. “Give me the ball, Alena. I'll keep it until you finish your job. I'm sure once your assignment is over, the direction inside the ball will be able to talk to you again.”

            Alena looked at Bendara Abinawa with a suspicious look and Bendara Abina realized the meaning of that gaze.

            “You don't believe me, Alena?” The Abinawa rider asked Alena.

            Hup. Alena immediately gave the ball to Bendara Abinawa. “I can trust Grandpa, can't I?”

            Huft. Alena let out a long sigh considering the last three tasks she still had to work on. “Don't progress, Cake! I had a hard time talking to all three of them. Pocong 2 immediately ran and jumped far away when he saw me. While Tuyul 1 and Tuyul 2 ignore me as if I don't. These three ghosts are really troublesome, Kek.”

            The Abinawa rider smiled faintly at Alena's complaint. “You know whether it is life or death, nothing is ever easy??”

            “I know it, Cake.” Alena answered while looking up at the night sky at Durawa's funeral. Alena suddenly thought of a question in her mind that she had never asked. “Kek ... why is there no sun here and only night? Do ghosts not disturb humans during the day?”

            “I thought you weren't aware of it, Alena.”

            Alena glanced towards Bendara Abinawa with a look of disbelief. “Did Grandpa think I was stupid to not notice?”

            “Maybe.” The Abinawa rider shrugged both shoulders.

            “Grandpa!!” Alena raised her tone from feeling upset. “I'm not stupid, Cake!”

            “Hahahaha ..” The Abinawa rider laughed at Alena's reaction to feeling stupid. “I just said maybe and the word maybe it always had two meanings behind it: it could be yes and it could not. Why are you so mad at an old Grandpa like me??”

            “At a time like this Grandpa feels Grandpa is a parent??” Alena turned around asking in disbelief. “Grandfather really cheated!”

            The Abinawa rider shook his head several times because he remembered something. “You ... makes me remember my meeting with Sadewa for the first time.”

            Alena's eyes sparkled at the words of Bendara Abinawa who suddenly offended Sadewa.  Alena narrowed her eyes and asked Bendara Abinawa. “What made Grandpa suddenly think of Sadewa?"            

            The Abinawa rider raised his wand and made the tip point towards Alena who was sitting in front of him. “You are both not afraid of me and are being disrespectful to this old man.

            “Hehe.” Alena chuckles at the words of Bendara Abinawa. Damn, this old man!! He's playing me, isn't he??

            “Yes, I'm playing you, Alena. And again ... don't talk in your mind, I can know it.”

            “It makes no difference that I speak in my mind or through my mouth, Cake. Grandpa will definitely hear it too!! I talked inside my head to save energy so that my mouth does not get tired.” 

            “You're so smart to talk, son.” Bendera Abinawa gave her praise to Alena.

            “Thank you for that compliment, Cake.” Alena lowered her head as if the compliment was an honor for Alena. “Back in the night sky, why ... here there is no daylight, Cake?”

            “It was because the barrier made by the durawapati made the evil aura accumulate and made the barrier turn dark. If you want there to be daylight, then it must clear the evil aura that is accumulated in that barrier.” The Abinawa rider gave a little explanation to Alena.

            “What is difficult to do that, Cake?” Alena asked with a curious look on her face.

            “Between yes and no. Depends on durawapati. The only person who can clear the barrier at Durawa cemetery is durawapati itself because she is the caretaker of the tomb at Durawa cemetery.”
