Temptation of Telaga Residents
Mbah Siti

Nina's bedroom door was knocked from the outside, Nina who was still lying on the bed wriggling her body.

"Sir, Sister Nina it's noon!" call Dayat.

"Mmmmm, yes," said Nina.

"Wake, Mother!" call Dayat again.

"Yes baffles!" Nina was a bit snapping.

Dayat passed by with a laugh, he liked it the most that Nina was upset with him.

"Have you woken up your mother?" ask Mbah Darmi.

"Udah, Mbah," Dayat replied.

"Where were you yesterday, like your mother was tired?"

"Nang tlogo, Mbah,"

(to the lake)

"Ngopo dolan nang nggon haunted-angker ngono?"

(Ngapain play to the haunted place like that?)

"Bak Nina wants to go there, Dayat does not want to but Mbah knows himself Ms Nina!" Dayat defended himself.

"Hmm yo wes, take breakfast there!"

(yo wes ndang breakfast \= yes already fast breakfast)

"Wait for Nina first, Mbah,"

Nina came rubbing her eyes, she still looked sleepy.

"Bah, last night Nina slept outside, right?" ask Nina.

"Yes, *Because you didn't hear, what time did you move to the room?" ask Mbah Darmi.

"Mmmm don't know, Nina was suddenly in the room" Nina said scratching her neck.

"Nglindur Kali Mbak Nina walks alone" said Dayat.

(glindur \= ngigau)

"Hmmm it could be," replied Nina frowning.

"Building used to keep breakfast," said Mbah Darmi.

"Good Mbah,"

Nina rushed to the bathroom, today her body felt lethargic, not excited like the usual days. After bathing and changing clothes Nina immediately breakfast with Dayat.

"Bak's sick?" Dayat noticed Nina's lethargic face.

"No, only my body is a seal-pegel, Yat," jawan Nina slowly.

"Oh, as exhausted as possible, Mbak continued since coming here. Want some shit?" tawar Dayat's.

"Where's massage?"

"There are mamak subscriptions, Mbah Siti, if you want Dayat anterin."

"May also tuh," continued Nina.

"Yes, we've eaten Dayat among ya,"

Nina nodded in agreement, she indeed felt her body ache so much all. After eating Dayat drove Nina to the house of the masseuse.

"Kulo new!" Dayat said Javanese greetings.

(Kulo nuwun \= excuse me)

"Monggo," came the voice of the old lady from inside the house.

(monggo \= please)

"Change, niki Dayat,"

(niki \= this)@@

"Opo, Le?" ask Mbah Siti.

(Opo, Le? \= what Nak?)

"Bade incandescent," continued Dayat.

(bade \= want)

They entered the house, an old woman was sitting on a bamboo couch chewing betel.

"Sopo sing arep?"

(who wants a massage?)

(This is my brother, Mbah)

Mbah Siti was unable to see, she just sat in her place.

"Mrene!" call Mbah Siti while groping and arranging a place to massage Nina.

(Mrene \= to here)

"Sana Ma'am, *That's why I can't see,"

Nina who had just been silent nodded following the orders of Dayat approaching Mbah Siti.

"This is it, Mbah?" asked Nina after sitting next to Mbah Siti.

"Kono mapan turu," ordered Mbah Siti.

(sana lying down)

Nina actually did not really understand Siti's words, she just guessed the meaning of the old woman's words. Nina laid her body. Dayat immediately went to wait for Nina outside the house.

"Your masculine copo Nduk?"

(What's your name, son?)

"Nina, Karenina, Mbah,"

Mbah Siti komat kamit like reading a prayer, then blowing into his hands, after which began to massage the body of Nina, from the back to the bottom.

"Hmmmm let's go to the sidean?" ask Mbah Siti on the sidelines memijit Nina.

(where have you come from?)

"I don't understand Javanese, *M*bah,"

"Where are you, Nduk?" mbah Siti repeated her question.

"I am from Jakarta, Mbah," replied Nina.

"Ora wingi bar with ngendi?"

(Where were you yesterday?)

Nina scratching her head did not understand the meaning of Siti's question,"

"There are those who follow you" said Mbah Siti again.

"Who, Mbah?" Nina goosebumps hearing Siti's mbah speech.

"He's following you." Siti is becoming more mysterious.

Nina was just dumbfounded not understanding the meaning of the incandescent's words.

"Ati-ati ojo leno yo Nduk?"

(Be careful not to let your guard down, son)

What did that old woman mean Inner Nina wondered. Mbah Siti made Nina curious, she really did not understand the woman's language.

"Lek kowe njogo wudu lan semayangmu, ora will be disturbed, sejatine lek your crew resik or will wani nggangganggu,"

(If you take care of wudu and salatmh, will not be disturbed, actually if your body is clean do not dare to interfere)

Mbah Siti continued to talk, Nina just nodded as if understanding. An hour passed, Mbah Siti had finished kneading. Nina tidied up again, her body felt lighter and tastier.

The old woman went back to making her betel, then chewed with pleasure. Nina noticed the face of Mbah Siti, still visible remnants of beauty from her youth.

Mbah Siti never married during her life, she began to lose her eyesight since she was 35 years old.

To fulfill his life Mbah Siti has the expertise of massage and suwuk. If there are small children who are sick because of supernatural things are usually taken to Mbah Siti to be suwuk to heal.

After saying goodbye to Nina and Dayat back home, Nina pensively tried to digest Siti's speech that she did not understand.

Wudu, praying is all that he understands the other does. Darling Dayat was outside so he could not be a translator.

"Bak Nina there's no show, right today?" ask Dayat when he gets home.

"We're not home. Don't you have any friends besides Sutris?" ask Nina.

"Why, Mommy?" Dayat asked back.

"Yes play here, let me not get bored" said Nina.

"Some, it's good that Dayat called ya, know if they can come here,"

"Well, that's funny! We make it easy while talking," cried Nina.

A few moments later came Dayat's friends, Sutris also came. Nina was overjoyed, they picked guava and mango beside the house to make rujak.

Do not forget the agenda of selfie checkers to be posted on their social media respectively. Joking until the afternoon, after the afternoon one by one they say goodbye.
