The screams of Midnight
First Mistake of Asih

The remote village at the foot of the mountain was once famous for the discovery of two bodies on the banks of a river. Her news even graced the main tagline of local newspapers. The village that was originally adem ayem without turmoil means that it is now warming.

There are various speculations related to the appearance of the incomplete body. The swish that circulated made the villagers restless. Intermittent news coupled with mouth-to-mouth flavoring spices increasingly make residents stricken with anxiety.

"James of yesterday were really horrified yo War!" The priest gulped down his bitter coffee and took a deep sip of the kretek in his hand.

"Let's Mom, just this time there's such a terrible strange incident in our village!"

"You think they were killed or eaten by a beast! I'm goosebumps War, horrified the corpses of yesterday!" The priest asked again, his eyes perfectly rounded so seriously talking.

"Podho Mam, I'm horrified that the body could be broken like that? Where anyone is split in all routers!" Wardi shuddered in horror at the condition of the corpse found yesterday.

"Heh, Kowe Piye to War? His name is a corpse to the stomach can be because it is eaten by animals! Forgot you're the same wild dog howl that sounds every night!" The priest replied with a mouth full of light green sweet snacks.

"Let's do it too, but what makes the scene again is Eman! Why is she yelling at all-shirt baby?!"

"Lha ya mbuh Mam, jenenge wae wong crazy! Mind where, let alone where he was ngelmu ngelmu not complete!"

Mbok Kar had just been silent listening to his loyal customer tell a story. In his mind, this incident would definitely have an impact on the income of his small shop.

Warung mbok Kar is usually opened until almost midnight, accompany and provide food and drink ala rate just a stomach booster or friends chat residents. Yesterday's horrific incident will clearly scare the villagers out of the house at night.

Villagers believe that if one of the villagers dies unnaturally, the entire village will be haunted by a wandering spirit. Their unnaturally dead spirits will roam for the next forty days.

"Aren't you patrolling? What time is it, why not muter?" tanya mbok Kar while putting back a plate of fried bananas in front of the two.

"Later mbok, wait for Mr. Hansip with other citizens first! We're a little horrified to mutter both tock, scared!" replied the priest who returned to pick up the warm fried bananas.

"Yes to our horror, the horn is strange! You don't know Mam?!" Wardi rubbed his nape, he dizzy looking to the right and left.

"Yes, I am also the same War, this is if there is no friend back! The serem!" Imam's answer was responded by a nod to Wardi.

The atmosphere of the night is a little gripping especially the thin fog back down after a light rain hit all day. In the vicinity of Kar mbok stalls there are only a few houses that are illuminated by a five-watt bulb. 

The village road is also only illuminated by street lights with a considerable distance, until most of the road is dominated by dark night. Residents usually bring flashlights or petromak lights to help illuminate the street. 

The howls of the coyote were heard breaking the silence of the night. It was as if he was voicing his power at night. Night animals that always walk and lurk prey at night before starting to appear.

"That sounds again Mam, this is hansip where the hell is not looking at the nose too!" gerutu Wardi, he stood dizzy looking at the houses of residents who were across the street.

"Mbok, close the stall! Are you not afraid that the two will be the same as Sumini!" The Imam gave advice to the Kar mbok who was watching his old television.

Mbok Kar and the two young men again heard the sound of dog howling this time sounded more heartbreaking. Instantly my hair was goosebumps.

"Yes wes I don't close wae, why medeni ne yo Mam atmosphere!"

"That's what I said, here don't close the stall! Abis this mbok do not have to go out to sleep just like Sumini!" Imam immediately helped mbok Kar by putting merchandise into the stall.

"Stupid! Don't you know anyone saw what you did?!" The sound of a table shake accompanied by a high screech from Miss Lasmi was heard to the living room.

"You're so careless! He, he must have seen you that night!" Miss Lasmi shouted back.

In front of him Asih just speechless peeking, his eyes implied a stifled anger. His hands clenched until it shook.

"I know! No need to say that, Mom!" Asih replied with a sharp eye glare at Bu Lasmi.

"If you knew all the time why did you let any witnesses?! How now? How do we shut Eman's mouth!"

"Here, don't get dizzy! Everyone knows that Eman is crazy! No one will assume that the baby bajang in question is one of my apprentices, Mom!" Seeking justification for his mistakes.

Ms. Lasmi could only round out her perfect eyes and then cluck in annoyance. "As far as you are concerned, mother's duty is only until the seventh year! The rest of all your responsibilities as well as your hired man!"

The annoyed Miss Lasmi leaves Asih alone. Asih pensively, his eyes closed, his hands left a light tremor.

"You're careless!"

A hoarse and raucous voice greeted him. Cold hands with blackish long nails perched on both Asih shoulders. A sinister face with terrible reddish eyes on the tangled hair of the masai, appeared whispering in Asih's ears.

"We have to kill him! No one will know your crime!"

Asih opened his eyes slowly, he glanced sharply at the figure of the female genie who was whispering to him.

"He really saw me? Then take care of him immediately!" the orders of Asih to him.

"Of course, but remember! That means you missed one chance out of the remaining five!"

"I don't care, finish him off! There can be no witnesses! Send him to hell with the others!" Asih's teeth chattered with anger, his fist smashed into the dining table.

"Your wishes are an order to me!"

The figure smiled widely then slowly disappeared in the darkness. Asih grinned violently and laughed. Such a loud odd laugh, from a distance Ardi peeked at Asih. There was fear on his face, he was trembling let alone seeing the figure of a creepy creature behind Asih.

"The compassion? Is he going to kill me too? N-no I'm an Asih confidant, he won't be able to do much without my help!" He mumbled softly, sweat flooding his trembling body.

"I have to find a way so he can't hurt me! I must have something to guarantee my own safety!"

Ardi made up his mind even though he was scared. Ardi went to go somewhere. Old warehouse behind the house.

"I have to make Asih believe me! I'll do it my own way! He must be proud of what I made!"
