The Setra Backhouse
CHAPTER 35. GUSTA CHANGE

“Where In, what do you get from the recording device and video that was yesterday night”

“Besok aja you see it No, now again I edit, and I set it to look better, especially when you feel cold and something is running through your body it”

“Eh Di, we are currently only in the family room, we have not yet explored the dark basement. But the disruption we're dealing with is already incredible, what do you think about this Di”

“Staying according to work commitment No, we have accepted this job with risks that of course we do not know. Yes this is the risk of work that we are in, want to like it not yes we still do”

“I mean gini Di, do we not ask for help to the experts in this field?”

“Nevent no, our characteristics and uniqueness is there, we never ask for help to anyone. Since we do not hurt the subtle-creatures, we instead try to befriend them, we try to blend in and feel their presence”

“If we ask for help from others, then automatically the person will do something about the delicate creatures that are there, and that will make them angry”

“Just don't bother if you don't want to be disturbed hehehe” Sumadi said convincingly

“No, edit it further tomorrow aja yes, I sleepy once, my body feels like it has asked to rest”

“Ya uwis to Di, right you are dewe who asked to do the nights gini hahaha”

Why did I talk to Sumadi from earlier, because I feel that tonight there is something strange, besides the room that feels gloomy, I feel that this room is not as usual.

But now Sumadi asked for rest, he did not sleep much, it was me who slept more often than Sumadi.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Sumadi's snoring voice was already blaring, now I was still awake and there was absolutely no drowsiness!.

Frankly I am a bit afraid if I have to sleep, because all this time I always had nightmares, dreams about Sumadi's death.

That's why I can't sleep here…

Hhmmmm kajeng kliwon, from what I read on google is a bit terrible too, but people should be used to kajeng kliwon.

Try if I have friends from this area, I will definitely know what I have to do so as not to anger the faint wong that is in the house.

Yes, people here call the invisible creature called the wong samar.

I obviously can not sleep this, I better sit on the terrace chair of the hotel alone, while enjoying the night until I sleep by myself.

*****

The atmosphere on the terrace of the hotel is so comfortable, especially sometimes I still smell there is the aroma of incense around here, maybe the smoke of incense sticks, besides that I also smell like perfume… uh fragrance oil like that usually used for a offerings of banten.

“Goodnight sir Paino, haven't slept sir?” greet the hotel attendant who I usually call by the name of mas Nyoman..

“Ah good night also mas Nyoman, I can not sleep mas, while my friend from earlier already snore mas hahaha”

“Mas Nyoman herself doing what mas?”

“I'm on the road to check the environment and rooms only sir, how can I help sir Paino?”

I stood up from the terrace chair, and approached the Nyoman mas which was on the street in front of the room.

“Mas Nyoman, is it true today is kajeng kliwon?”

“True sir, what's wrong with Paino?”

“No papa mas, I just want to know what kajeng kliwon mas” is

“I'm a Javanese so I don't understand. I saw in Padmasana it was full of banten, so then Sumadi asked the receptionist, and he said he was now kliwon” kajeng

“Waduh if explained in detail difficult sir heheh, but gini aja pak Paino, kajeng kliwon is a sacred day that is every fifteen days, at full time, the moon dies, and, and there's more every six months once”

“moreover coupled with the existence of people who pursue black magic or deleakan, pengleakan or the term tenung it will be done at kajeng kliwon pak”

“Then one way to avoid it is other than by praying, meditation, yes by giving the banten pak”

“Innya, kajeng kliwon is a day full of magical and spiritual energy for those who believe it sir, and it is not recommended to go to unsafe places such as graves or setra pak”

“Hmm so yes mas Nyoman, yes already thank you for the explanation, I think I also have to pray a lot mas”

“Following with Paino, then I return to the hotel office sir..Good night sir Paino”

After a little but quite understandable explanation of what Kliwon kajeng was, I went back into the room.  I saw Sumadi sleeping soundly.

I sat on the edge of the bed, and thought about the connection between the kajeng kliwon and what I and Paino had on the beach, the kind of energy that slowly warmed my body.

In addition, I also felt an increase in spirit, besides not knowing what else, I could not describe what was in my body, anyway there was a change that occurred in my body.

*****

“No.. wake up…. It's six o'clock this morning, soon Gusta and Gustin will send food here”

“Huaaahhmm...what time did you wake up in?”

“Jam five earlier, then I pray dawn first, from this hotel we can still hear the dawn adhan kok , although only vaguely”

I sat on the edge of the bed. While Sumadi had turned on the computer, he was ready for editing again.

I see Sumadi's face is different from yesterday, at this time he is brighter than yesterday, is this due to the influence of the sea air?.

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door…

“That's like Gusta and Gustin Di, let me just open the door”

I walked lazily to the door of the hotel room, when I opened it was Gusta and Gustin. Gustin carried a plastic bag containing rice wrap that would be given to me.

“Good morning sir” greet them both

“Good morning, Gustin”, my reply back

When I greeted him back, at a glance I saw Gusta surprised, he had glared at me, and then he turned to look at Sumadi.

Suddenly his face appeared a face that was not happy with us, like the face shown when he saw an enemy.

“This is the rice pack sir..two packs twenty thousand course” said Gusta snatched the crackle bag his sister had brought and gave it to me roughly

“Eh briefly mas Gusta, enter first mas...”.

“No sir, we have business, there is still a lot of work to do” said Gusta ketus still with a hostile face

“Ih mas Gusta kok that anyway.” said his sister.

“You have been silent!…. Come fast sir, we still have to keep our sales pak” Gusta said rudely

There was something wrong with this boy, after I gave him the rice wrapper money, he immediately pulled his sister away from my doorstep….

“What's with the boy No?” asked Sumadi while looking at me

“Embuh In...”
