The screams of Midnight
Hunting Prey

It was still early morning, the fog was still visible covering the village road. But the atmosphere of the village hall was already so crowded. Residents flocked to meet the courtyard of the village hall that has been decorated with janur like a big celebration.

Clean village this time deliberately held by the kades to drive out the balak that now haunts the village. The discovery of mysterious bodies and the death of Eman made the villagers so frightened. 

This of course affects the productivity of people who depend on agriculture. Villagers who usually farm after dawn prayers are now done during the day. Residents also ended their farming activities more quickly in the afternoon, for fear of crossing paths with female ghosts who supposedly roamed. 

Mbok Ratem came with a besek containing various kinds of flowers. Behind it there are some residents who bring other offerings such as tumpeng, chicken defender, market snacks, bitter and sweet coffee, various spices and do not forget frankincense, incense, and clove cigarettes.

All the offerings were placed in the middle of the village hall pendopo. Mr. Kades and his device have been preparing to wait for Mbok Ratem who will lead the clean ritual of the village.

Villagers without command, sitting around the offerings. Mbok Ratem is seen whispering to kades sir. I don't know what they're talking about but sir kades is just a sign of understanding.

Mbok Ratem then sat in front of the offerings burning incense placed on top of the pottery shards. His mouth seemed committed as we cast a spell. 

His eyes closed tightly, a series of small combed (torn) pandan leaves. Mbok Ratem swung his hand up, to the right and to the left. Spreading frankincense smoke all over. After some time Mbok Ratem also stood and circled the offerings.

 He also walked towards the gathered people blowing smoke from the incense he was burning. Mbok Ratem crouched down to take the janur that was formed in such a way. He put seven flowers, turmeric, betel leaves, a stick of burning incense and did not miss a kretek cigarette on it.

Mbok Ratem looked around and placed the small offering in the room where Eman was found murdered and two others in the east and south corners of the village hall. 

Mbok Ratem stood up again, this time asking Rohman and Bagyo to follow him. A small prapen was brought by Bagyo, while Rohman carried a small pottery with three burning incense sticks.

Mbok Ratem walked out of the village hall, he started to surround the village. The village's protective mantra continued to be cast, occasionally stopping at the corner of the village boundary laying a flower filled with cigarettes and incense.

Asih noticed Mbok Ratem from a distance, he did not dare to approach. Miss Lasmi's warning about Mbok Ratem is still remembered clearly. Asih did not want the near-perfect plan destroyed because of the old woman who was highly respected by the villagers.

He sneered at Mbok Ratem one distance away. "You think with that ritual, this village will be safe from my followers? Huh, don't expect!"

The female genie standing behind Asih grinned, he whispered inciting Asih.

"Calm down, he's no match for you! I'll help you handle it!"

Smiling, his eyes darkened as dark as his heart now. Mbok Ratem, who was aware of Asih's presence, turned to him. His eyes turned sharp and violent. Hatred was on his face. Mbok Ratem clearly saw the figure of a female genie who was behind Asih.

"Kowe sing dadi kacilakan village source iki! lunga sadurunge kowe is not patent!" Mbok Ratem spat on the ground, as a warning to the female genie and Asih.

(you are the source of the catastrophe in this village! leave before I kill you!)

He again walked around the village, making protection for villagers from the balak brought by foreigners. Asih smiled wryly at mbok Ratem.

"Based on a fucking grandma!"

He went to the village hall. From a distance a young man caught his attention. The man is a kades sir, he looks to be talking to his device. 

The police officer handling the case is also there. Keep the distance. He can recognize the characteristics of the officers even though they are dressed in plainclothes. Asih did not want to be missteps and suspected by them. 

He is very good at playing his role. He looks so innocent and innocent.

"Eh cah ayu also came to, Miss Lasmi where you did not join!" Mbok Kar realizes the presence of Asih which looks different than other village girls.

Asih responded to Kar's question with a sweet smile before replying. "Mother is busy!"

One of the residents who was next to Kar mbok with a fad elbowed the arm mbok Kar, he whispered.

"Mbok, piye to use nanyain Bu Lasmi everything! If he comes, he can be stirred later! Mbok tau mbok Ratem same Miss Lasmi arch-enemy!"

"Oh yeah, I'm Yu! Lha I melas he karo dekne kok ayu-ayu dewekan Rene. Mbok digondol Joko, Yu!" Said mbok Kar while covering his mouth so as not to sound Asih.

(Oh yeah, I forgot Yu! Lha I kasian with her, beautiful kok set off alone here. Afraid of being kidnapped, Yu!)

The voice of Kar who was so close was of course heard by Asih, he smiled faintly. "Mbok, who's the kades here? I want to make a statement to move," asked Asih probing.

"Sir kades? It's the nduk, who's sitting in the middle of there next to the police sir!" Mbok Kar pointed right at the man targeted by Asih.

Oh he's apparently a kades here, saucy too! Suitable for new prey!

"Oh, sir, thanks! Um, whose name is mbok?" He asked again.

"Sir kades? His name is Pak kades Adi nduk, you if you want to take care of the letters tomorrow just let Wardi what antherin Imam! If now the village office is closed, because this event is usually until the afternoon!" Terang mbok Kar while dividing berkatan on residents.

Just smile and nod. He also divided the besek berkatan on other citizens. A charming sweet smile does not forget always on her thin lips. Asih spread the charm not only on women but on the young men in the village.

The charm spell he tidied up softly. So bright that no one noticed. Do not forget Asih mentioned the name of Mr. Kades in a spell. Asih's eyes can not be separated from the handsome face of Mr. Kades. 

The spell blown into the air approached the kades sir who was busy talking. Strange vibrations are starting to be felt, Mr. Kades. He began to get nervous and unsettled. The focus began to divide. His eyes were looking for the figure of the woman who stole his attention.

Mr. Kades stopped the conversation, and found Asih among the crowd. Eyes meet eyes, sir kades drugged beauty pseudo Asih.

 Asih seduces sir kades with flirting flirting. The glint that is only visible to the kades sir. Asih whispered the word through the movement of the lips.

I want you!

 Do not forget to tease the kades sir by waving his black hair. Asih biting his lower lip adds to the sensual sensation he offers to pack kades. Mr. Kades is now drifting in the charm of Asih.

Asih locks his target, freezes time and hypnotizes the kades sir with his voice. 

Come to me immediately!
