Hands down


Our activities will start soon. All the students from the sidewives, students and the mentors of this event had already gathered in the schoolyard. The other classrooms are empty and some are closed. Everyone gathered together into one on the schoolyard forming a circle. Which stage is made square in the middle of the yard.


The performers have gathered in front of the teacher's room. From some representatives of the group already filled out the list of attendees, that this group is ready to appear in front.


Arumi's group had arrived and had already filled out the attendance list. Of the seven remaining members only two were as spectators. Three members named Nia, Yuki and Alexa will appear in the festivities of the Persami. One person who did not enter was Anin, who was still ill with typhoid. While Arumi participated in contributing songs at the opening of the farm. Nia, Yuki and Alexa will display the typical Jaipong dance of the west Java region, complete with clothing and accessories, plus a very minimalist facial order far from the word menor. Because it is still in the school environment in addition to its appearance only briefly and unofficially. Their makeup is that Arumi is assisted by her two friends Siska and Yuli.


In less than ten minutes the show will start. The sound of sound checks has echoed throughout the school environment. The sparkling lights have highlighted the middle of the field which is a stage that will be made a free spectacle on Saturday night.


Arumi is busy with her guitar until she is unaware that this event has begun. Time to realize that the pepami event has begun. When Arumi heard the sound of a rock falling from the top of the precarious. It was only from there that Arumi realized that the opening ceremony of the peach had begun.


He looked at the atmosphere of this school when the sun was not visible in the blue sky. Arumi saw her sparkling stars adorn the night. Without realizing it, he saw a group of boys sitting under a mango tree without attending a peasant event. Arumi saw clearly that the boy was sitting in a circle while carrying the wood that had been tied to form a plus symbol (+) and on top of it was given an old-looking coconut shell.


Arumi who saw that could only shake her head with a meaningful smile.


" Find the child's illness, already know the night nginep in school. Play it under the tree again. Actually " said Arumi who is still staring at them those who are cool playing. Without knowing the consequences of playing jelangkung.


...🍂🍂🍂...


And there comes a waiting time. Arumi stepped up onto the stage while carrying a guitar that he had borrowed before the stage began.


While on stage, Arumi could really see everyone sitting below. Between a sense of deg deg an and a sense of pleasure in stirring into one.


Before performing a song, Arumi took the time to greet the audience, so that the audience enjoyed this performance.


" Hello.hello good night all "with a cheerful tone plus a sweet smile.


" Are you all familiar with the mbak standing on this stage, haven't you?" shouted the host standing beside Arumi.


The audience compactly replied "no.."


" The time is not yet familiar with this beautiful mbak, a loss if you have not been acquainted. I think I've known this one mbak "looked at Arumi.


Arumi only responded with a smile.


" No confidence" the audience chanted.


" Wah.wah you don't believe in me. Want me to know what not, mumpung mbaknya still here "


" Want.want whose name" said one of the audience.


" I'll tell you, Arumi's name is Class X from the office department. Who from the office majors raise their hands "host until they raise their hands in front of the audience.


" Oiii.." cheered classmate Arumi who was sitting in line with the stage. Arumi returned a hand.


" Now you know it. Without a lot of stale language, we listen to Arumi's voice. With a song titled Sang Dewi "said the host with an end to a standing ovation.


his finger danced on the guitar strings. With a beautiful melody, Arumi plays her melodious voice in front of the audience. Sound and beauty are able to hypnotize the pairs of eyes that witness the appearance tonight.


Arumi who was on the stage clearly saw the group of boys who were under the tree. They still play the jelangkung. Arumi watches them from a distance.


At the end of this song, the wind came unnaturally. This wind is coming from all directions. Arumi was very confident that this wind was not just an ordinary wind, but it would wreak havoc.


Before singing the second song. From the back of the audience there was a very loud scream that made the sisters of the builders approach the source of the sound. Likewise Arumi gasped in shock when she heard the sound of screaming. With reflex Arumi away from the microphone, approaching to the side of the stage "mak what is the direction behind the rame "Arumi asked one of the siswi who sat not far from the stage.


" I also don't know "with a confused face.


Slowly the lights that decorate the school yard one by one went out. The crowd made the audience scream in confusion. Especially people who are afraid of the dark.


" Aaaa!..please have a trance" said Sisiwi who panicked because her friend was possessed with unusual behavior.


This trance propagates with each other, making the atmosphere tonight even more gripping.


Arumi got off the stage of the road towards the sisiwi who was sitting at the very back. Arumi had to pass through the screaming sounds of who was possessed. Walk with full alert because the light is very dim.


After passing through the person who was possessed, Arumi had arrived in front of the first possessed sidekick.


Arumi looked at the student who was screaming in addition to crying nonstop. After a long look at this sorcerer's side, Arumi turned her body in search of a group of male students. The one Arumi saw when they were playing the jelangkung.


Come here never to meet, make this atmosphere more uncontrollable. One by one sisiwi and students take turns possessed. Who holds a possessed person only a little.


For about ten minutes, Arumi found the group of students. With a quick step, Arumi snatched the puppet while scolding this fellow.


" Why are you guys playing this!! look at those in the yard. Possessed because of you!! " the two eyes of Arumi seemed to want to get out of the shell.


This group of students had nonchalant faces indifferent to Arumi's words and ignored the boisterous voice.


One of them forcefully snatched the jelangkung doll from Arumi's hands. Arumi who is aware of being captured by this nettle, immediately holds this netangkung in his grasp.


" This is all because of you!!! " withdrawing again from the hands of the students.


" If you don't call using a jelangkung. It must be peaceful tonight " concluded Arumi.


" Please get them back to where they came from. This time I beg you "


The others remained silent without responding to Arumi's words. One managed to forcibly take the jelangkung and then push Arumi away.


" You're why you're angry with us!. We are just playing. Go there disturb aja "drive Arumi by snapping.


" remember! all these events you are responsible for the consequences of his "said Arumi who already feels not appreciated here.
