The House at the End of the Road
Pamali
Afternoon at 16:30 Fahmi and Mika went outside the house to just take a walk to relieve fatigue while inside the house.
Fahmi does not want his wife to feel bored if she has to be in the house, he wants to make his wife no longer think that no-no.
The same thing happened to her, she felt that she felt tired and needed healing after the incident in the kitchen just wanted her mind back fresh.
Both of them walk casually while watching the natural panorama along their way, the atmosphere of a beautiful afternoon seen the sky has begun to show its orange color in the western horizon.
The condition of the village is already very quiet because all residents have started to enter their homes, and it has become a habit of residents that they have done from generations.
In contrast to Fahmi and Mika both actually went for a walk in the afternoon.
Until the two of them arrived in front of the house of Pak Bayu and Bu Asih.
"how about we stop by for a while, it's also not good that we never visit after we move" said Fahmi
"yes, no matter what you are, I'll just go with " said Mika
The two walked towards the door of Mr. Bayu's house . Until they reached the front of the house, Fahmi immediately knocked on the door of his house .
tok tok tok tok
"assalamualaikum" Fahmi said
"waalaikum salam ..." said Mr. Bayu inside
Krieeett.....
The sound of the door when it opens also makes the hearing of the teeth also become painful, understand only the name is also old house and the hinges have begun to rust .
"loh..nak Fahmi ,nak Mika ,why afternoon you come her, please enter , do not be outside when ahead of Maghrib pamali" said Pak Bayu directly asked his second entry
Not much protest, Fahmi and Mika also entered.
"Mom..take a drink of water there is a boy Fahmi and a son Mika " shouted Mr. Bayu.
"Oalah..iya bang ..severa " cried Bu Asih from the kitchen.
"why is it that you're out of the house at this hour ?" ask sir Bayu
"why is it ?" ask Fahmi
"in this village there is a ban for anyone who comes out in the evening like now ,pamali" said Pak Bayu
"pamali...? why pamali wa?" ask Fahmi again
"now this is so if the child today, if he says pamali tuh must ask why, different from his time mother, then,if parents say pamali we believe it must be something that will not be good for us, and we never ask , different from the child now " said Bu Asih when out of the kitchen while carrying two cups of ginger wedang.
"hehehehehe...sorry Ma'am her name is also curious ?" sahut Fahmi with a clumsy smile
"iya I understand "sahut Bu Asih again
"so here's what, from what you catch from religious lessons at school, in the early evening, the Maghrib, the jinn , the devil, the devil,and the creatures of his kind will wander around looking for people or doors that are still open, they will enter and eventually will incite us to do despicable things, and it's not very good for us" bu Asih
"yes, added our parents used to often say if at this hour the children will be kidnapped Wewe gombel, so we who are still children are certainly afraid ", added Pak Bayu
"yes let alone the taboo of this village which also prohibits anyone from leaving the house in the evening" said Bu Asih
"oh yeah.kok I don't know yet?" ask Mika
"before that we apologize, 'cause we thought you guys from the city wouldn't believe something like that ,as it had happened before there were newcomers and they did not want to believe let alone obey him ,as a result they were exposed to diseases that could not be detected by medical until they died there was no explanation whatsoever about the disease they aspired to" said Bu Asih explained
There was a sound of bedug from the mushola, not long ago there was a sound of Adhan echoing in the village .
Mushola is the only mushola in the village, because the population is also only a number of no more and no less than two hundred souls do not need another mushola ,moreover, those who often come to the mosque are only the closest, while those who are far from the mosque choose to do prayer in their homes , respectively ,the reason is only one is the fear of pamali that has been ingrained in the citizens.
Even the nearest residents do not mean they come to the mosque when approaching Maghrib as well , they will come early when the sun is still shining its light,and they would go home at eight o'clock in the evening, and over ten o'clock in the night they were afraid to go back out ,then there was never a single citizen who patrolled the night.
"Alhamdulillah.preferably we immediately do Maghrib prayer, we do it here only , son Fahmi can help uwa to clean this room so that we can pray together "pinta pak Bayu.
"yes...." Fahmi also helped Pak Bayu prepare the room, while Bu Asih and Mika went to the bathroom for ablution.
Lucky Mr. Bayu has drawn his water first so Bu Asih no longer need to draw water in the well.
After completing the prayer , Fahmi and Mika also say goodbye, but forbidden by Pak Bayu , because the time still shows at 18:45.
"yes it's bang, it's okay we're here first, I'm afraid that we're desperate to go home now" said Mika
Actually Mika already felt bad in her heart, not a hunch what she felt, which clearly seen a nervousness in her self, between fear, anxiety, and anxiety, all mixed
"alright" Fahmi said
The two were also offered dinner together , although had refused but at the end of his husband and wife also accepted his offer .
"duh we become troublesome uwa this" said Fahmi not feeling well
"ah no kok, absolutely do not feel bothered, even we are happy if someone comes to eat together in this house , this house is so rame " said Mr. Bayu who was happy with the presence of Fahmi and Mika, but there was something that stuck in his heart, namely seeing the unusual Mika gelagat.
"hopefully nothing will happen to his "inner Pak Bayu lirih
Not felt the time went quickly, now the clock shows at 20:06 , Fahmi and Mika also say goodbye
"o Allah..Part them ?" lirih Pak Bayu when he noticed the backs of Fahmi and Mika who moved away and disappeared in the dark of night
The sound of an owl is heard making the feathers sit standing, by continuing to hold Fahmi's arm, Mika noticed the sekor bird perched on the tree ,Mika continued to pay attention until the owl's head turned a hundred degrees but she was aghast when she saw the owl's eyes that seemed to light up looking towards her.
"astaga "
srak...
Not lost Mika's surprise, she was again made surprised by the sound coming from the bushes, even the bushes look swaying.
"bang..it...what's there?" ask your face with a trembling tone
"don't you love, it looks like an animal, let it be "sahut Fahmi while pulling Mika's arm
"wait for the bang.." mika held back the pull of her husband's hand and then looked closely at the bushes.
Suddenly there was a pair of red eyes flashing making Mika aghast and immediately ran away regardless of her husband who was calling her.
"honey..wait .... Micah...."
