The screams of Midnight
Second Mistake Asih

Mbok Jum knocked on the door of Asih's room, he brought breakfast because Asih had not come out until noon.

"Non, non Asih .. mbok bawain eat!" He hoped Asih would open the door soon.

It has been almost ten minutes mbok Jum standing in front of Asih's room. "Non, open the door non! Eat first and then don't get sick!"

There was no answer from inside Asih's room, mbok Jum started to worry. He was afraid something might happen to his nephew.

"What's the mbok?" Ardi approached the sound of mbok Jum sounding into his room.

"This, non Asih has not eaten from morning. I'm afraid he's sick Den!" My face looks very worried.

Ardi knocked on the door of Asih's room, "Come on, I'm in!" Without waiting for an answer Ardi immediately grabbed the door handle and opened it. There was no one there, Ardi opened the bathroom door. Asih wasn't there either.

"Where is he?" Ardi saw Asih's phone lying on the table. A message from Mimah's midwife just came in.

"Packs shipped this afternoon? Not yet, weirdo!" 

Ardi put back the Asih phone, he stared at the silent mbok Jum staring at something lying on the other side of the table.

"What's the mbok?" Ardi was made curious by Jum's attitude.

Mbok Jum stammered, "Eh anu, this .. ah, there's no den! Then bring the food down. Non Asih is below!"

Ardi just nodded slowly, he stared at the back of Mbok Jum away. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ardi opened Asih's cell phone again. Some photos of him and Asih with a happy face while in a fast food restaurant are still stored in the gallery.

Ardi rubbed the face of Ayu Asih. "Can't we start a new life? I love you Asih, I love you?"

Ardi's voice trembled, although Asih hurt his heart Ardi still held great hope in him. Asih is not his first love but Ardi so loves Asih more than his love for his sister who is struggling with her illness in a sanatorium.

Ardi still hopes Asih changes and repents, although there have been many crimes committed by both. Could it be that it happened?

The sound of footsteps could be heard approaching, Ardi turned towards the door, Miss Lasmi came with a grim expression.

"Where is he?" Ask flat on Ardi.

Ardi just shook his head. Ms. Lasmi opened the Asih wardrobe violently, she put some clothes into the Asih bag. Ardi was confused by Miss Lasmi's attitude.

"You must leave this village!" Said Miss Lasmi tremblingly.

"What do you mean, ma'am?" Ardi who did not understand stood a little away from Miss Lasmi who looked confused.

"You're making unnecessary trouble!" Ms. Lasmi said in a nervous and trembling voice, her hands did not stop putting in Asih's clothes and things.

"What?!"

Ms. Lasmi threw a bag that already contained Asih clothes. "Go! I don't want my daughter to happen again! Take care and immediately disappear from this village!" Shouted Miss Lasmi frustrated.

"What is this, Mom?!" Ardi was more confused because Miss Lasmi pushed him out of the room while forcing him to carry a bag containing clothes.

"You guys brought misfortune for me! I forgot his grudge against those children, I miscalculated everything! And you, you also took part in their murders, you .. make things even more messy!"

Ms. Lasmi screamed in front of Ardi's face, venting her pent-up emotions and anger. He was scared, he was confused, Miss Lasmi did not want to lose Asih and also her strength. Asih is the guarantee of a second life after the death of the princess which is also used as a result of empowerment for her.

"Go! Leave immediately! Keep the Asih for me!" Miss Lasmi pushed Ardi hard until he fell to the floor. 

"Find a safe hiding place in the city! I will monitor you from here will also protect you from that ugly genie!" Miss Lasmi again said with bulging eyes, she started to lose her sanity. 

The confused Ardi did not know what to do. He went down the stairs and brought the Asih clothes with him. Miss Lasmi looked at him with sharp eyes. "You have to go today!"

...----------------...

Asih again settles the sediment at the house of mr. kades. He slipped in through the back door. Women's moans sounded so heart-wrenching, but not for Asih. He smiled widely, his efforts bearing fruit. 

Look behind the partially open door. Warni, the wife of the kades sir is groaning in pain. His stomach was heartbroken, sweat soaking all over his body.

 "Mas ... mas Adi, fight!" He groaned while enduring tremendous pain.

Asih smiled, he set his breath for a moment and pretended to be surprised when he entered the room.

"Goddessa, mom! Why mom?"

With his crafty, Asih began to play his role.

"Mas Adi? Mr kades means that?" Asih stalling.

The color is back nurturing, red liquid looks seeped wet the clothes of the bottom.

"I-iya mbak, please .. I am not strong, please .. call mbok Ratem too!"

Asih's face instantly changed when he heard the name mbok Ratem called. "Later to call you, will I help you first? I used to help mothers who gave birth!" 

"Mom, sure you can?" Warni asked with sweat already flooding her body, the contractions in her stomach had already exceeded her limits.

The excruciating pain left him in agony. The turbid liquid came out along with the viscous blood, Warni screamed in pain. Asih who did not want the sound of Warni to be heard out immediately covered her mouth with pieces of cloth.

"This tip should not be surprised at his screams, so his power is there to encourage the baby!" 

Warni who was in pain could only resign, her hands clutching firmly at the edge of the bed while Asih sat crouching in front of the two legs of the Warni who opened wide. 

After about an hour, the baby was born. Colori's lying limp, "Bak, where's my son?" 

Asih who still smothered the son of Pak kades smiled oddly, "Your son is dead mbak, sorry!"

"What-what?!"

Asih cut carelessly the umbilical cord that was still wrapped around the baby's body, he immediately wrapped it with a rag that lay not far from Warni.

"Give it back, give me back my son!" Said Warni weakly, her face looks pale.

Asih smiled cynically at him, "This is mine, you die quietly here!"

Warni looked at Asih nanar, she was about to snatch it from Asih. With his weak body and still covered in blood, Warni tried to stand up and grab Asih. 

"Don't give me my son back!"

The darkening of the eyes pushed the Warni firmly, until her head hit the table hard. Colin passed out motionless. Not satisfied until there, Asih stuffed Warni with poison that he took from the closet owned by Bu Lasmi.

"Dead you!"

Asih immediately left the house, before anyone knew it. He put the body of the innocent baby in a black plastic bag. He washed both hands soiled with blood, and sauntered away back home.

Upon arrival in the courtyard, Ardi was already waiting for him with a sour face.

"We have to go, now!" Ardi forced Asih's hand to get into the car.

"What the hell are you!" Asih brushed off Ardi's hand.

"We have to leave now, before your mother gets angry!" 

"Huh, angry? It's crazy the time he's angry! Take off my hands!" Asih again brushed off Ardi's hand that was still firmly gripped.

Asih finally managed to escape from Ardi, he went inside and headed to a special room used for rituals. Asih put the body of the baby he had just captured from Warni on a piece of black cloth.

Thin smoke of incense burning began to fill the room, Asih's mouth commited kamit to call the genie lady of his ally.

"I brought you the last mash!"

A giggling sound rang out from a dark corner, the female genie appeared. He walked closer to the new fetus a few minutes ago born. His terrible hand rubbed the face of the fetus that had been perfectly formed.

But something wrong happened, the female genie's eyes glared. Staring madly Asih, "This is not what I want!"

"What do you mean?!"

"Look carefully! He didn't move, his age exceeded our agreement!"

"W-what?! But said mas Adi ..," Asih sitting limp, the calculation of the kades sir is wrong. His first son who had been stretched out in front of Asih turned out to be over 26 weeks old, the age that should have been given to the woman's genie.

"You fool! Tonight before twelve o'clock at night you will have to look for more collateral for me, otherwise ..," the genie approached Asih and whispered, "You will be his successor!"

His Asih eyes widened, his body instantly shivering. The threat of the female genie this time shrunk her guts.

No, I don't want to die!
