The Fortitude of a Mother
Serammic

The night air in the city of Bandung feels cold piercing, mirah mngeratkan his embrace to the bolster next to him.Thick blanket alone is not enough to dispel the cold of the city of flowers.At that time his bladder feels heavy, it feels heavy,he could not resist and immediately woke up.

"Duh, what is this? I'm afraid I have to go to the toilet in the back," I nibbled on her nails, trying to hold back but couldn't.

The clock has shown at 21:30, the legs of Mirah feel heavy to step towards the toilet.He feels reluctant if he has to pass the workshop which he thinks is scary, especially the round table at the end there which is located right near the toilet.

Half run mirah walk, he creeps when passing through a very quiet and dark workshop, a spacious workshop with a line of cars that various forms of damage, and also the damage,mirah felt herself being stared at by the many pairs of eyes from the car that lined up in the darkness.

When he passed the round table all the feathers on his body stood up,his knees suddenly limp.With great difficulty he immediately grabbed the toilet door and immediately entered to finish what he felt.Mirah immediately took a thousand steps once finished, himself trying not to look back.

But for some reason, the interest to look back was very strong.

And instantaneously "Aaaaa...AllahuAccbar!" he cried out in panic as he ran with all his might, but finally, "Brukk!" mirah fell and was unconscious.

***

Mirah wriggled awake, her eyes blinked.He looked around her, and it turned out to have been in his beloved room.Serta surrounded by two people he knew the other brother, oh! the snow people are there too! his eyes were wide when he saw the man.

"You why 'mir? the same story brother," omi stroked the head of mirah.The sea of worry is clearly visible on his face.

"Why me, brother? he feels limp

"You don't want to? earlier you passed out in the back hallway there.Near the workshop, fortunately there was a sir cu'eng nolongin, he who carried you here, actually you why could you faint there 'hem? ask soft omi.

Netra mirah followed the direction of the brother's hand when calling pak cu'eng.

The deg!

"Him? snowman carrying me? that's impossible!" bathin Mirah storm herself, the article she could not believe if the snow man helped her even hold her!

Mirah's brain was still digesting the incident that she experienced earlier, and she finally remembered something.Something terrible.

"Yes, I remember! that was it." he said paused.

"So that's why 'mir? omi's insistence.

*Flashback*

When coming out of the toilet mirah immediately take a thousand steps and determined not to look back.However, for some reason like a strong magnet pulling his neck to look back.And finally mirah saw something terrible.

A large tall figure stands.On a round table that always makes the mirah goosebumps, but mirah does not see apparently.He only sees the fingers and toes of the creature that looks very large, large,each finger is as big as a banana horn.

Mirah couldn't see it, and finally.

"Goddessa.AllahuAkbar!" he shouted in panic.And he was unconscious, then he did not remember anything at all.

"Off*

All who heard the story of mirah, mutual face.Undeniably the workshop and round table was haunted, so there were no workshop employees who worked until night.Four in the afternoon they had stopped, at the latest at half-five.

"Makanya, that day I warned you.So don't stand in front of the round table" mr. cu'eng opened his voice.

"You, can talk? when did you give me a warning? if you surprise the 'yes," show mirah to mr. cu'eng, please,

While the designated just staring flat.

"Mirah, do not be disrespectful so, this father cu'eng is his brother father, he is his right hand father," Moses rebuked his sister.

"Yes, it's getting late.You should rest immediately," omi enveloped the sister.

"Let's 'sir," omi took pak cu'eng out of the mirah room, but the man just silently pecked like reluctant to leave the room, and felt astonished to make it.

"The snow orangan is not very clear si," mirah looked at the pak cu'eng who was still in his place.

And a second later...

The tep!

Netra they sat face to face, Mirah became nervous and immediately turned her body, as well as pak cu'eng the man immediately cleared his throat and turned out of the bedroom, no matter what he felt.

***

After the incident on that night mirah became very kapok for the back of the night toilet, even if during the day even if the workshop employee was on holiday he did not want to go there, and preferred public toilets across the road.

This afternoon mirah plans to go to the house of the story, her brother number four.Mirah is six brothers, and she herself is the youngest child.All her brothers have married, all of them have married,and live far apart following each other's husbands.And for which there are men who live in the city of his birth, only omi brother who live in bandung, because his wife is gone.
