Screamnights
unfulfilled desire: pocong 2 part 5

            “You're here, Sadewa?” Abinawa riders greeted Sadewa when they saw Sadewa coming to his place.

            “As Grandpa saw, I'm here.” Sadewa reached beside Bendara Abinawa and sat down beside him.

            “You complain what else??” Bendera Abinawa asked Sadewa and the question made Sadewa immediately stared intently at Bendara Abinawa.

            Huft. Sadewa let out a long sigh trying to restrain herself in front of the old man whose age might have been hundreds of years living in Durawa cemetery. “Ya .. yes ... yes, I came to complain to Grandpa.”

            “It's time, Sadewa. It's time to clean up this place, Sadewa. This pitch-black looking barrier was a dull sight. It felt stuffy and crowded because there was no sunlight that penetrated the evil aura collected at the Durawa.” cemetery barrier

            “So ... This is my job, Grandpa?” Sadewa tried to accept the situation he was facing. “Although I was just durawapati a replacement?”

            Bendera Abinawa smiled at the word ‘substitute’ came out of Sadewa's mouth. “I have never considered you a substitute, Sadewa. Whoever is the keeper of this tomb, they are the durawapati. Your duty is the same: guard this tomb and the ghosts trapped in this sacred land. Durawapati replacement is just a designation because you are not the first child of your family and in my eyes, it changes nothing. Proof that you've been working hard as a durawapati, that's what I'm judging, son.”

            Sadewa smiled faintly hearing the small praise from Bendara Abinawa for her. “Grandfather is always good at talking. My annoyance just disappeared hearing Grandpa.” say

            “Sometimes humans need to be rewarded for the effort they put in both of it. But do you realize, the award sometimes does not need to be shown because the angel on your right has recorded it well.”

            “Right grandfather.” Sadewa nodded her head in agreement before finally looking at Bendara Abinawa with a curious face. “Because Grandpa's words are always right, I wonder: has Grandpa ever done anything wrong??”

            Buk. The Abinawa rider raised his wand and used it to hit Sadewa on the shoulder. “Hey, Son!!! I used to be human too, of course I've done wrong!!”

            “Oohhhh!!” Sadewa nodded her head while stroking her shoulder which was hit by Bendara Abinawa. “Alright, Cake. I'm done complaining to Grandpa. Now ... how do I clear this barrier of evil aura accumulated over this very long period of time?”

            The Abinawa rider smiled and then gestured for Sadewa to approach him.

            Three days later.

            “Sadeva!!” Alena yells at Sadewa after three days of Sadewa not standing guard at Durawa's funeral and it makes Alena think Sadewa will run away like her brother.

            “What?” Sadewa walked over to Alena with her flat face. “Why?? You miss me after three days of not seeing me?”

            “Ya and no. For the first time, I missed other people besides my Mom, Manda and Gala.” Alena stopped her run when she got in front of Sadewa and directly hit Sadewa on the shoulder. Buk up! “I thought you escaped, Sadewa??”

            Sadewa narrowed her eyes at Alena's words. “That's a big idea of yours, Alena??”

            “Hehehe.” Alena gave a small laugh feeling guilty about her own thoughts. “You didn't come for three days and didn't tell me at all.”

            “Should I give you a phone also in a place that has no signal like this?? Should I build a wifi tower here for you too?” Sadewa replied to Alena with a hint of cynicism.

            Alena lowered her head with both of her hands making a gesture to apologize. “Sorry .. I don't think long when you've done a lot for me.”

            “Thank you for that if you reply me when you come back later.”

            “Sure, I will reply to him, Sadewa. You are like a superhero in my life and this will definitely not come twice in my life.” Alena gave a little praise so that Sadewa would no longer be angry and upset at him. And ... that compliment really works.

            “We finish today also so that the wishes of Pocong 2 will be granted.” Sadewa prepares himself to begin clearing the Durawa burial barrier that gathers a lot of evil aura.

            “How to?” Alena asked curiously.

            “You still keep the ball belonging to lover Pocong 1 held captive?” Sadewa turned around to ask Alena.

            “Ya, still.”

            “We will use it to save his evil aura.”

            Alena hurriedly ran towards the cottage and picked up the glass ball. And within minutes, Alena came back with the bottle in her hand.

            “Open that bottle now!” Sadewa gave instructions to Alena. “And when the sky is completely clear, immediately close the glass ball!”

            Alena nodded her head as a sign of hearing the instructions. But ... “How do I know the sky has turned bright??”

            “You will know because I came here an hour before sunrise.”

            Sadewa then raised his hand upwards, channeling all the energy he possessed to draw the evil aura in the barrier into the glass sphere. The effort is not easy considering that Sadewa only learned the technique in two days. Sadewa had difficulty at the beginning before finally managed to pull the evil aura into the glass ball.

            Wussshhhhhh! 

            The evil aura drawn by Sadewa moved like a strong wind and made a noise as strong winds came. Alena, who also felt that, just remained silent while looking up at the sky to get ready like the instructions from Sadewa.

            “What happened?” Kunti 3 emerged from the sky and immediately approached Alena and Sadewa. “What is durawapati doing?”

            “What storm is this?” Sundel 1 also appeared from the sky and directly asked questions to Alena and Sadewa.

            Alena wanted to answer that question, but when she saw some tuyul ghosts enjoying the storm, Alena undoed her intentions and just smiled. Alena even chuckled when she saw the puffer-headed ghost who had trouble finding her head because her separated body and head were several times attracted by the windstorm.

            “Wind this storm!! Makes my hair even messier!!” Sundel 2 who also appeared from the sky immediately complained in front of Alena about her hair.

            “That's right!” Sundel 1 agrees with Sundel 2. “The hair I just arranged when taking pictures with durawapati is now messy again like a bird's nest. The bird will probably nest again in my head!!”

            “Durawapati!!” Kunti 3 whining. “Is this how you resist our feelings??”

            Alena gawking at the ghosts of women who come actually fussing the strong wind because of Sadewa. They really are out of their minds!! They were completely blinded by Sadewa!! This is truly the definition of blind love!!

            After about 30 minutes the storm continued to move, the effort from Sadewa began to be seen. The night sky that Alena had seen for these two months, was starting to look different. There are stars in the sky and this is a sign that Sadewa is really doing his job as durawapati.

            “Are we going to die when we see the sun, durawapati?” Kunti 3, Sundel 1 and Sundel 2 asked simultaneously to Sadewa when they saw the sparkle of stars in the sky.

            Amidst his efforts to clear the evil aura that made the barrier dark, Sadewa glanced towards Kunti 3, Sundel 1 and Sundel 2 with a sharp gaze. “Logic where is it from? You'll die if you get sunburnt, aren't you dead??”

            “Ah is right too, we are dead.” Kunti 3, Sundel 1 and Sundel 2 speak at once again. “Then will we disappear??”

            The three female ghosts still disturbed Sadewa and made the exhausted Sadewa feel very upset. Alena could even see sweat pouring from Sadewa's forehead. But thanks to the sweat ..the three ghosts were finally able to keep quiet and no longer asked Sadewa questions.

            “Ahhh sweat it ... “ Kunti 3 saw sweat on Sadewa forehead like diamond saw. “That reminder ... I want to wipe it!!!”

            “I'm it!!” Sundel 1 pulls up to Kunti 3 and tries to do what Kunti 3 wants to do.

            “Let me just!!!” Sundel 2 will not lose either. Sundel 2 pulls Kunti 3 and Sundel 1 to wipe the sweat from Sadewa.

            The sunlight is then completely visible. And to momentarily stop the commotion of the three female ghosts who were scrambling to wipe Sadewa's sweat.

            “It's done.” Sadewa spoke while giving instructions to Alena who immediately closed the glass ball she held to store the evil aura from the Durawa barrier.

            Sadewa directly sat on the ground with intermittent breathing because of its depleted power.

            “You okay??” Alena immediately knelt down beside Sadewa.

            “Ti-no. My head is dizzy.” Sadewa answered the question before collapsing. Lucky ... Alena has quick reflexes so manages to catch Sadewa's body before falling to the ground.

            “Kyaaaaa!!”

            Alena thought the female ghosts were screaming to see Sadewa lose consciousness. But when Alena looks towards the three ghosts, Alena finds the three ghosts also falling crashing to the ground.

            “Why with you guys? Does sunlight make you weak?” Alena asked in surprise.

            “No.” Sundel 1 answered representing the other two ghosts.

            “Then??”

            “We limp because it is not strong to see the charm of durawapati. The sunlight that shines on the durawapati with a sweaty face makes it look more beautiful, sparkling like an angel and more enchanting.”

            Damnit damnit! Alena cursed in her mind to hear the words of Sundel 1 and saw the three ghosts lying limp on the ground with teary eyes. Damnit damnit!! When will this love drama end?  Anyone please stop the dramatization of these female ghosts!!
