The screams of Midnight
New Directions

Mr. Kades and two police officers sat in the central room. Some questions surrounding the discovery of Eman's body were raised by Budi. Like why Mr. Kades locked him up and where is the Eman family.

Eman lived alone, his parents died in an accident while trying to sell vegetables from the garden to the city. 

"Eman hasn't been sane in a long time?" Andi asked.

"Actually it's only been a few years, he's sometimes sane sometimes really sir."

Andi frowned, "Have Eman told you anything related to the discovery of the corpses in this village?"

"Well, I almost forgot to tell the police. As I recall, yesterday when he was in the river …,"

Mr. Kades then recounted what Eman said shortly after he was taken to the village hall. Eman who was all the way babbling about the naked baby and the female ghost fell silent as the kades asked him what a ruffled baby was.

Eman raved, instead, about the woman in the rain who was so beautiful. Eman saw clearly the woman aided by the terrible little figures killing a man. He called it a filthy baby, a discarded child. 

The spiritual knowledge he learned made Eman a little familiar with things related to mystical. He mentioned the woman mercilessly killing and dumping her body into the abyss. 

BRAAK!!

"Huh, killer in the rain? Pretty lady?" Andi and Budi were shocked.

Mr. Kades was surprised because Andi subconsciously hit the table hard, "Good sir Andi let my heart loose!"

"Sori, emotional laughter! If that means Eman saw a murder suspect, the body found in the river is male." Andi was excited.

"But we can't believe one hundred percent of this info, Eman is mentally ill! No sane, who can guarantee that his words are true? Moreover, he is dead now!" Andi's words were countered by Budi.

Mr. Kades was just a mangosteen, but then he said. "I believe the same story as Eman. Because I saw for myself the ghostly apparition of the woman with the baby she was always carrying."

"What?!" Budi and Andi blinked in disbelief. A ghost? Could it be a ghost? As they thought.

"This village is being terrorized by the ghost of a police officer. He wanders around at night terrorizing the citizens. But after the village clean event by the elders, thank God this village is safe again."

"Beautiful woman, bajang baby, village terror. It feels like this case smells a little mystical. How do you think?" Budi asked Andi who scratched his head, only this time he heard there were ghosts terrorizing the residents.

Andi does often hear and read news about ghost terror but all the excitement usually ends in the mode of perpetrators of crime. Andi never believed in the presence of a mystical figure that is often associated with something.

"Cck, at most also the usual end Bud! People again, people again! I don't believe in ghost haunts!" Lazy negation.

"Eeh, sir Andi don't get me wrong! The ghost exists. We've met the same ghost twice with the creepy baby!" Mr. kades said as he touched the nape of his neck which suddenly brushed.

"Aah time anyway! I don't believe it!" Tukas Andi fast.

"This is what if these fathers are following us tonight! Who knows if the ghost appears to want to know Mr. Andi. Want to exist and be considered the same Pak Andi!" 

Hearing the suggestion of the kades sir, Andi could only grumble while Budi chuckled. 

"The ghost asks to exist, there's-there's a pack of these kades." Budi geli.

Budi suddenly remembered something, "Hhm, mr. kades was there I saw there was a beautiful woman among the villagers. I'm sure he's not a native here, does Mr. Kades know who he is?"

Mr. Kades' eyes instantly rounded, he was a little nervous. He was sure if Budi asked about Asih. "Oh, that was Miss Lasmi's adopted daughter. His name is Asih."

Budi noticed the attitude of the kades sir who suddenly changed. He asked again, "Cure? New resident huh, looks like he's from town." 

"Yes just came, again a semester holiday he said. He's here with Ardi." Mr. Kades is a little careful.

Ardi, the young man I met at the stall back then. Looks like I have to find out who they are. 

After the death of Mr. Kades, Budi and Andi received a temporary report of the results of the visa and forensic evidence found Andi from a young man full of wounds.

"Bud, this is the doctor's report of Revelation."

Budi accepted it, carefully he read one by one the important points of the doctor of Revelation. His eyes widened when he saw that the teeth found were the teeth of a carnivorous animal like a coyote.

"In, looks like we have a key witness. Do some protection for the man!" 

Andi nodded, his eyes fixed on the writing on the paper.

"His name is Arif, he was listed as a student at one of the colleges." Andi was silent for a moment, he looked at Budi in disbelief. "He was on the missing persons list two weeks ago!"

Be surprised, "People are missing?"

Andi nodded, he went back to reading the paper in his hand. "Arif was reported missing along with two others."

Budi who is curious to read the paper in Andi's hands. "Don't, the body we just found is also on this list."

Budi and Andi looked at each other, bright spots began to be found. They devise a plan to investigate further about Arif and the bodies found. One of their colleagues is appointed to interrogate Arif after his condition allows.

Asih mondar mandir in the room. The discovery of a corpse in the ravine disturbed him. 

No eyewitnesses, no evidence left!

As for fear, he also called his ally's female genie. Enter the special room of Bu Lasmi. His lips moved slowly chanting the summoning spell. A thin steaming incense burning smoke filled the room.

"What are you calling me!" A raucous hoarse voice greeted him. The female genie appeared from a dark corner.

"I need your help, to take out one more man." 

The female genie chuckled, she walked up to Asih. "One victim, one victim!" His whisper was in the Asih's ear.

"Prepare for the seventh impact, and my children and I will work!"

"I'll provide it, soon! Do your job first!"

The female genie again chuckled, she touched the face of Asih who fearlessly looked at her nyalang. 

"Do you know what the consequences are if the collision is given too late?" Silence did not answer, the genie whispered again.

"Death!"

Asih clenched her hands, trembling with the word death whispered by the female genie.

Die off? No I can't die! My grudge has not been fully avenged!

"Clara and Lisa, they're not dead! But you've asked for a tumbar? You forgot your job!" Read the Asih to the female genie who suddenly fell silent.

"You doubt my abilities! They're gonna die tonight!" The genie shouted right in front of Asih's face.

"Huh, really? Don't trick me or you won't get your tumbang!" Asih bluffing reply.

Netra they stared at each other, blood-red eyes terrifyingly met Asih's black eyes. The genie laughed giggling. He retreated and disappeared in the shadow leaving a raucous hoarse voice echoing in the room.

Remember Asih, don't play with me! Not a single human can escape me!
