The Dusk Boundary
Eps 58(mysterious woman)

Five hours drive from town to town. Even the day has gone dark. At the instructions of papa Sigit, Mr. Aaron stopped his car in a manau not far from the village.

"In the meantime the Maghrib prayer, we should pray first and continue the journey after him" said papa Sigit and approved all.

The atmosphere was very quiet, as usual. Especially at dusk like this.

Brakkk...

Ciiieittt......

"Papa.."mama Rossy also screamed as well as everything in the car.

"I'm sorry sir" Mr. Aaron, who was unable to control his car, panicked. Because Mr. Aaron suddenly saw people passing in front of the car he was driving. Fortunately, the car driven by Mr. Aaron walked slowly so they all survived the panic.

"What's wrong sir? why did it suddenly stop?"

"So someone suddenly passed by sir. I was very surprised. It seems I hit something" Mr. Aaron was about to open the steering door but was prevented by Lily and Manda.

"Don't come down sir! danger!" said Manda. Lily also confirmed.

"Why Manda?" papa Sigit and Mr. Aaron became astonished.

Manda also told what they experienced when they went to the village with Raya first. And that made them very traumatized. A few minutes they were silent in the car, Mr. Aaron felt something unusual.

"Why sir?" asked papa Sigit astonished to see Mr. Aaron restless.

"Entai sir! I feel my hair goosebumps" replied Mr. Aaron close his jacket.

" That's.." point to Manda suddenly. A group of people passed by carrying a coffin without making a sound. They drove through papa Sigit's car parked on the street. The road is very quiet from the vehicle, no one passing vehicle other than papa Sigit car that stopped.

The group passed papa Sigit's car just like that.They walked down without looking at the road they passed.

" They're so weird! Cook does not say tahlil" said Lily.

"Shuutt.."papa Sigit asked Lily to be quiet.

A few minutes later, the group carrying the pall had already passed and disappeared into the darkness. Mr. Aaron was about to run his car again, but he just remembered that it had hit something.

"Why are you shutting down again sir?" papa Sigit was surprised because Mr. Aaron did not so continue his journey.

"It looks like I hit something, sir. I'll see him for a minute." Mr. Aaron got out of the car and was about to look in front of the car. He wanted to ascertain what he had hit earlier. Papa Sigit also came out because he was curious about the story of Mr. Aaron.

Pak Harun and papa Sigit were already in front of their car. And it turns out that there was someone lying there. Mr. Aaron and papa Sigit were very surprised to see him. Feeling guilty, papa Sigit and Mr. Aaron immediately lifted the man up and took him into the car.

The figure of the mysterious woman that brought papa Sigit and Mr. Aaron into the car also made mama Rossy, Manda and Lily became astonished. The beautiful young lady in white with shoulder-length black hair was still unconscious.

Lily and Manda immediately moved to the back bench. Papa Sigit and Aaron sat the woman next to Rossy's mother.

"Pa..who is he?" mama Rossy shuddered in horror. It was as if he was going to feel something strange about the mysterious woman.

"His hands are cold!" Lily who accidentally touched the woman's arm was horrified.

"Easy! Let's just take it first. We stopped by the mosque in front of there sir" said papa Sigit. Mr. Aaron nodded and continued his journey.

"Have we passed the mosque before we got here?" ask papa Sigit who it is.

"It seems we have indeed passed it" replied Mr. Aaron still looking around.

"We continue the way, sir?" continued again.

"Yes" replied papa Sigit briefly.

Mr. Aaron continued his journey based on papa Sigit's instructions because Mr. Aaron had never been there before.

The night is late. They all missed dinner. Manda seemed to hold her stomach and grimaced. Mama Rossi who understood the intention of Manda immediately gave a packet of bread that he had brought. Finally papa Sigit ordered Mr. Aaron to stop his car for a while and eat bread to prop up their stomach for a while.

"It looks like we're going through the night" said mama Rossy.

"It's okay ma..We're safe when we get here!" answer papa Sigit.

"Sir Aaron continued on his way back after finishing two packs of bread. It seems like not only Manda is starving, but everything is there. Fortunately, Rossy brought a lot of bread to bring.

The streets of the village were indeed very quiet at this kind of hour. Even the street lights have not been installed. Mr. Aaron drove his car slowly. Only with the car's floodlights, Mr. Aaron focused on the wheel. Till....

"Om, Auntie..what's the sound?" Lily suddenly closed her ears and eyes. He did not dare look around.

"What is ly?" Manda tried to listen to what Lily meant, but heard nothing.

"just ignore. The day is late, there will certainly be many strange events around us." said papa Sigit calm everyone in the car.

Long way to the house of Kyai Arifin, the voice that Lily heard could finally be heard by all who were there. The sound of a woman's laughter, but more heart-wrenching than happy laughter.

"Continue sir! don't ignore!" papa Sigit's orders on Mr. Aaron who looks already starting to fidget. Mr. Aaron kept trying to focus on his steering wheel until something was seen floating in front of their car.

"Astaghfirullah." said mama Rossy, Lily and Manda simultaneously.

"ignore! remain Istighfar and read the seat verse" said papa Sigit although he was also very surprised earlier.

Lily and Manda immediately embraced and read the chair verse as best they could. Thus with mama Rossy who began to creep because next to him there is a woman who is still sleeping soundly unconscious.

Something that floated in front of papa Sigit's car blew away Aaron's pack's concentration. Until unconscious Mr. Harun lost control and made his car mired not in the lane.

"I'm sorry sir! The wheel moves on its own." said Mr. Aaron who tried to hold the wheel, but it seems like someone is controlling it.

"Aarrgggh....."

Suddenly the mood became quiet. The sound of heart-wrenching laughter earlier turned into a deep laughter of happiness.

"Are you okay, Ray?" said Bu Hajjah while giving a glass of water to Raya.
