The Angkara Murka
The Book of Obong - Bridge
After the incident after the magrib, Satria Piningit was no longer shy about greeting Wong Ayu every time he met. Sometimes he even tends to be presumptuous and reckless, like he has known the girl for a long time. Satria Piningit unhesitatingly forced time-stealing to just exchange greetings with the girl. If you are crazy, Satria Piningit not only steals time, but also robs and scuts every second and minute to be able to chat casually for a while and exchange words with Wong Ayu under any circumstances.
So as not to die of style because confused want to talk about what with Wong Ayu other than "How are you?", "What's busy?", or "What are you doing today?", Satria Piningit also often asked about the sightings that proved to be able to see the girl like Priyam. Therefore, Satria Piningit has had new types of question sentences such as, "Wong Ayu, what do you see today?" as he asked one afternoon when the girl was washing clothes at times. Damn, this kind of question ended up holding her own. Satria Piningit became curious about the answer, and what Wong Ayu really saw. Satria Piningit is waiting for every mystery series on television. Whereas with Priyam he is ordinary, even tend to avoid this theme and do not heed it.
"There are grandfathers in the north gate of the village. His face was always pouting, always annoyed with these village children who like to pee near the gate," Wong Ayu replied casually. His two soft hands with long fingers gently rubbed the clothes.
Satria Piningit felt both of her eyebrows furrow, "You mean Mbah Wijanarko?" tanyakanya.
"Can you see it?" wong Ayu's wide eyes widened excitedly suddenly heard Satria Piningit's response.
Satria Piningit laughed and was a bit uneasy about disappointing him. It seems that Wong Ayu wants Satria Piningit to also be able to see such supernatural things like herself and Priyam, "No. Priyam told me," said Satria Piningit grimacing slightly. "But thank you, at least now I know that Mbah Wijanarko really exists. Before I thought Priyam was just a weird boy. But since you can also see the figure, it is likely that Wijanarko is indeed in the gate there."
Satria then felt unfair towards Priyam. Why is it that with this beautiful girl only she can open her mind, even though Priyam has said about this appearance from the beginning?
Wong Ayu's pair of beautiful round eyes dimmed. Clearly disappointed to realize it turns out Satria Piningit does not have the privilege like her. But he actually did not need to feel strange himself, instead there was Priyam who also had similar privileges? Thought Satria Piningit.
After all, Satria Piningit did not mind that there were two strange people who could see ghosts and supernatural beings in this village by his side. What matters is that he doesn't need to be seen. Worried that he would pee in his pants and embarrass himself in front of Wong Ayu.
"Did Priyam also tell about the market in the cemetery in the west of the village that is crowded on certain nights according to the count of Javanese days? Did Priyam also tell you about the gendruwo cane gardeners?" ask Wong Ayu.
"Yes .. yes ..," Satria Piningit nodded strongly, amazed at the corresponding story between Wong Ayu and Priyam. "When did you see those supernatural beings?" ask Satria Piningit then.
"Night, midnight, dawn, noon, afternoon, magrib ... Like them want to appear when," he casually stroked the cloth with detergent bars and continued rubbing the cloth.
"Lho, don't they just show up at night?" satria Piningit asked doubtfully.
Wong Ayu let out a crisp laugh, "They don't know the term time, unlike humans who have limited lives. If many people see ghosts at night because, well .. maybe when it is night our minds are empty, relaxed, no longer burdened with activities during the day. That's why people often see them at night, especially usually the night is quiet and not many people."
Satria Piningit. When Priyam said that there was a figure of gendruwo noticed his movements in the garden the other day was in the afternoon, around four o'clock and can indeed be said to be still relatively bright.
"But I was never told of the burning figure you said at the time" Satria Piningit later said. Wong Ayu simply shrugged both of her shoulders while returning to rub the cloth back. But this time he rubbed a jarit cloth with washing stones.
This time it was Satria Piningit who shrugged both shoulders and made Wong Ayu smile sweetly.
"What do you see, Wong Ayu?"
Wong Ayu dipped and rinsed the cloth into the clear watering times, "Why do you want to know that? Aren't you afraid that those creatures will appear before you?"
"Yes, just don't be sudden and startle me, maybe I won't be afraid. After all, you and Priyam seem ordinary even though they are often given to see these creatures."
"It's not that simple, Satria. Fear is always within everyone."
"Are you scared too?" satria Piningit asked in disbelief.
"Of course I'm scared, Satria. You don't think I'm human, do you?" his protest.
"But I've never seen you so scared. You always talk about ghosts like telling about your friends," replied Satria Piningit a little joking.
"You really want to know what it's like to see them?" ask Wong Ayu this time seriously. Satria Piningit was silent, confused as to how to answer. The clear water wiggled Wong Ayu's kemben jar at her feet. He placed the cloth in a basket of clothes that had been washed while looking at Satria Piningit sharply.
"Last Friday night, about seven o'clock at night, I drove my father to his friend's house with an onthel pit, a bicycle, over the bridge over time in the South of our village. He said he was going home with his friend, so I told him to go home by himself. I have no problem at all. At this age I used to go alone, even at night."
Wong Ayu was indeed a brave girl, Satria Piningit's inner self was amazed.
"At the bridge I went on while I was away, when I came home I saw from behind a grown woman behind me, walking slowly. Her hair was long but was draped over the shoulders to the front of her body. Her clothes were like a nurse if I looked from afar, white but a little dull. There are two yellow chandeliers on the bridge, so the bridge and the road to it are quite dark."
"Woman is a ghost, huh?" cut Satria Piningit excited, feel it can guess the story.
"At that time it was clear that I thought the woman was a ghost, Satria. Where there are women walking alone in such a place" he replied.
Well, except for a girl who's biking alone at night. It was only acceptable, thought Satria Piningit to insinuate Wong Ayu. But he did not say it because he did not want to mock Wong Ayu with his thoughts, instead he asked, "You call your bike?"
