The screams of Midnight
Suspicion of the

The sun was still peering shyly in the east, but the bustle of the citizens had already begun to show. These days the atmosphere of the village feels safe. There are no more stories of terrified citizens crossing paths with the dreaded female ghost.

Warung mbok Kar wriggling, preparing to welcome guests in the morning. Various sweet and fried snacks are ready to be arranged. Priests and cardi who prepare to go to the fields after dawn prayers at the mosque. They took the time to stop by.

"Bok, usual!" Wardi shouted at the busy Kar in the kitchen.

"I'm yo podo mbok, ordinary!" The Imam will not lose.

They deftly took the banana fritters that were still reflecting the thin smoke.

"War, abis clean village passable yo! Our village is safe, rasane ora medeni neh nek wayah bengi!" The priest said as he chewed his food (it does not feel good again at night!)

"Yes Mam, fortunately there is a Mbok Ratem! Everyone is safe!"

Sumini brought two cups of coffee to order and put them on the table. "Warung piye Sum, rame again right?" Wardi asked while blowing his glass.

"Since the village's net start rame anyway, but yes it's also rame that's debt! I think you are!" Sumini quipped as she smiled wryly.

"Weh, it's my fault!" Wardi chuckled, while Sumini glared in annoyance.

"Assalamualaikum, morning gentlemen!" A man with a firm white face line greeted, he was one of the officers who stayed at the Wak Haji house.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, uh Budi sir. Please sir, tumben alone where is it?" The priest shifted to give Budi a place.

"Still in bed, understand last night we talked to the old sekdes sir." Andi replied with a smile. His face looked fresh and his body smelled a masculine scent.

"Wih, sir Budi in the morning has really taken a shower, perfumed again! We don't smell like we want to stay up!" Wardi smelled his own scent, he was embarrassed close to Budi who looked handsome.

"Ah, could you! Let her eyes not sleepy so I take a morning shower sir." Take the food in front of him. "Mom, coffee milk yes!"

Sumini nodded and rushed inside. While the heart is cool to fill his stomach with various kinds of sweet foods.

"Ehm, the fathers here have been disturbed by a coyote or a wolf?" Budi probing.

"I am still young and have no family, sir, why is it called sir?!" The priest protested, "Mas aja, let her look young!"

"Oh, sorry. Mum …,"

"I'm the Imam, this is Wardi! Still single and find a partner!" Sahut Imam with a special grin.

"Huhah, ki lho! Sok ngganteng iEnglish-an Mam!" Mbok Kar brought a cup of coffee Budi order. "The villagers here have been used to hearing the howls of dogs from the forest, police sir. We live together in the forest so don't be surprised!" Mbok Kar chimed in.

"Oh so, but not to get into the village?"

"Never sir! Safe!" Wardi.

"It's just that these days the howling of coyotes is often heard almost every night. It is usually rarely heard. It's weird!" Wardi connected his sentence.

"How weird is it?" ask Budi curious.

"I grew up in this village, for a whole new age this time heard the sound of howling coyotes so sir! And strangely again accompanied by the same terror of the police sir!" 

Budi frowned, but he still wanted to listen to the citizens talk.

"Yes too, Nek thought it was a recent incident ya War. Eh trus no discovery of the corpse will make more serem!" Imam added.

"Did you not see anything suspicious?"

"If this village must be monitored by the police, but in what forest do we know!" Wardi answered again.

"Villages are here to the forest just to find firewood. Mostly some climbers who like to meet us on the road. So far, there have been no reports of people suspecting the climbers. They are polite, friendly and there is nothing strange!"

Only the mangosteen, he again drank his coffee. Shortly afterwards Ardi appeared with a disheveled face.

"Mbok, coffee items yes!" His ink is lethargic, Ardi's mind is screwed. He even had trouble sleeping. Asih shadow and kades sir always spin in his brain.

"It's home!" Lazy answer.

Budi glanced at him at a glance, from his different appearance Budi knew if Ardi was from the city. I don't know why his instincts say that Ardi is hiding something. Budi decided to wait and pay attention to Ardi.

"Mas Ardi may not, neng Asih already have a girlfriend yet!" Wardi fad asked, honestly he was fascinated with the face of Asih ayu.

"Udah!" Answer Ardi ketus.

"Well, it's late for me! About if I want acquaintance, still not accepted huh?!"

"No!" Once again Ardi replied in a bad way to make Wardi grumble, "Wong asked how nice ora answer! Marai emotions!"

Ardi only glanced sharply at Wardi, he did not care about the grunts of the young man in front of him. Budi still noticed Ardi's strange expression. Suddenly Ardi's phone rang.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Waja Ardi seems to change, he frowned for a moment but then a smile expands.

"What, Clara?! Nice one!" Smile expands on Ardi's lips, Budi also sharpens his hearing.

"Where is Lisa?" Ardi asked someone on the other end. Shortly after, he smiled again.

"Let me know if there's any progress!" Ardi hung up his phone, he finished coffee and then passed after giving some money to Kar.

The suspicious Budi followed Ardi silently. He walked slowly to keep his distance so that Ardi did not know. I wonder where Ardi went. Clara's name, which was said from Ardi's lips, made a big question mark in Budi's mind. The same name also mentioned the man with full wound last night.

Put Budi in a big house that is quite luxurious for the size of the village. Ardi is seen sneaking into an old barn, followed by an old man. They hide behind a large tree directly adjacent to the forest.

"The location is favorable, this forest is used as a dumping site for victims. It could be Ardi. But who is that old man?" Gumam Budi curious.

From the main house came a beautiful white woman. Wearing a dress in the color of short cut leather with a low V-neck cut shows a pretty tempting cleavage. His curly hair was draped by a boat, Budi was immediately fascinated by his beauty.

The mystical charm that Asih issued attracted the attention of Budi. He was about to approach when his hand was pulled by someone violently.

"Don't go near the girl!" Hoarse and hoarse voice stopped Budi's intention.

Budi looked back and found Mbok Ratem with a serious face looking at him. "You who?"

"Don't try to get close to him if you want to survive!" Mbok Ratem again warned.

Budi turned his head towards Asih then looked back at Mbok Ratem who was still holding his arms strong. "He who is mbok? Why can't I go near him?"

"He's dangerous, he's the enemy of this village!"

The more he did not understand, he looked back at Asih. He did not understand the meaning of mbok Ratem.

 A woman as beautiful as Asih is the enemy of the village? How come? Or maybe she …,

Question after question comes to mind. He noticed Asih, every movement of his movements was so dazzling.

"A woman as beautiful as that is in a remote village like this is impossible!" guammnya.

"Don't pay attention to it too long! You can get caught up in his influence!" Mbok Ratem spoke again.

"Indeed he had what influence ...," Budi asked Ratem but how surprised he was when he turned around when Ratem disappeared.

"Lho, where is he? It's still here, isn't it?"

The wind blew lightly at Budi's nape, and a whisper was heard in his ear.

Leave this place immediately before it's too late!
