The Setra Backhouse
CHAPTER 63. HELP ME WITH THIS HOME PROBLEM

“Means now we will eat in the dining room located behind ya pak Wayan.... and is on the river side?”

“Yes, you guys enjoy breakfast while looking at the ones outside of it. The view is very beautiful from there”

I went into the back house, but what we're in now is like a supernatural version. But let me not ask again how the process can be like this, maybe later Mr. Wayan will explain in more detail.

We were in the dining room joining the family room…

“Masyaallah...!”.

On the sofa were two snakes that were rolling their bodies, they seemed to be sleeping, two snakes with crowns that did not care about me and Sumadi.

“Let's relax, they won't hurt you anymore, they're not savage if you're polite. Let's have breakfast” said Mr. Wayan then sat in one of the chairs around the dining table.

“Let's eat first, Mr. Sumadi eat a lot so that the inside is healed quickly.. After eating I will take you guys down”

“Eh pack those two snakes that yesterday attacked both of us?”

“Yes, because I and the residents here do not know what you will do here, we think you are the same as people who usually come here to find knowledge or expel us”

“Let's finish the food, then we go down, because your time here has been too long”

“When you stop by my house, not this one, but my house in front of there is”

After breakfast, Mr. Wayan woke up two snakes who were sleeping on his stomach…. Then he whispered something to the two serpents.

“Let's go down, but let the snake go down first, you and I go behind it”

“They pet my ancestors for generations, their ages are countless. They are loyal to my ancestral lineage”

“The room opposite this family room used to be a room.. In this room there used to be frequent rapes, and there have also been murders here”.

“I do not know why this room used to be a dirty place, and unfortunately when there was a murder, there was no cleaning ceremony or retrieval of spirits here”

“What happened then was the owner of this house made a translucent basement into the river”

“For Mr. Sumadi and Mr. Paino know, the river beside this house was once a former dumping ground for victims of war”

“Well anyway the place is full of faint wongs.let's go downstairs so you guys know what's there”.

The stairs I remember. The stairs are sloping and do not make people who go down and up scared..

And now this ladder is like that, not a ladder that is almost perpendicular to it. Later I will ask Mr. Wayan, actually this ladder how it looks.

We were already in a beautiful room with thick carpets and items that looked luxurious.

“They made this room…. The room next to the bottom of the river that I said earlier. Full of wong samar. But why is there no wong now?” said Mr. Wayan with a smile

“So like this..” continued pak Wayan.

“Then this room is very haunted, because some of the inhabitants of the river like to be here, like to play here, like everything here”

“This place is so terrible, and often people who come here get into a trance, and always hurt themselves”

“I do not know how, suddenly came shamans from Java to here... when it felt something was wrong, why should bring smart people from Java, why not from here just”.

“Eh is not....not bring people from Java, but bring people from Java who have long lived on this island”

“Then built exactly the same room with the one here, only in the room was installed a kind of fence and trap for the faint wong in the river”

“I do not know the obvious reason, but since there is a room, this room and the one next to it has never been touched by the inhabitants of the bottom of the river”

“But don't get me wrong, this room is a place to look for victims..and the average death toll that is here will be lost and will not be found his body”.

“Who is looking for the victim of life pak” asked Sumadi

“The shaman they brought, who was the Javanese, he did provide help for the owner of this house, but he always asked for the victim of life. And that's what happened with you two”

“I saved you through that hole under the ground.”.

“The hole is a place to remove the body from the life taken, then at the bottom of the river the body that has been discarded will be hidden cryptic wong, and they will enjoy until the end of”

“Your rough dragons came down there and you were protected by my two snakes until you were near the oil filling it”

“Actually the house below is not only two rooms, but there are still some rooms in the form of rooms”

“You can go there as long as during the day only.. because during the day the room next to it is empty, wong faintly hid in the gap of the river cliff while waiting for the carcass of animals or the occasional ashes of the remains of Ngaben who were thrown into the river it”

“But what before was also like this sir, I mean this room that is next to it can not be used to stay?” ask Sumadi

“Certainly can be used to stay, but the owner of this house did not tell that this room is actually a faint wong trap so as not to disturb the tenants of this house”

“But still every three times foreign guests who stay here, then one guest will just disappear”

“Now there is something I will talk to you two.. Let's just go upstairs, let's talk in the living room to relax”.

We returned to the living room with two of Mr. Wayan's pet snakes.

“Eh not here, better to bale only.. We get out of this house and head to the place you previously met me”

*****

“So this way, the owner of the house wants to destroy my residence, because it is considered my residence this causes the rental house does not sell for various reasons lah”

“Then the owner of this house will build a bigger house here, whereas here is where my ancestors are hereditary, in the rampant it has hundreds of descendants there”

“If even the owner of this house cannot destroy my house, he will still build a villa or something here that is very disturbing to us who live here”

“Pak Sumadi and Pak Paino know how foreign tourists behave with their culture from outside it”

“Actually I can get rid of them, I can cooperate with the faint wong that is on the riverbed. But there will definitely be war. The point is I live here just keep this rampant ancestor in place just”

“We as the cryptic wong also want to live a quiet life, just like you guys also”

“Now you go home, because someone wants to meet you.

I was suddenly very sleepy…

*****

“Good morning.. Time to check Mr. Sumadi..” two sisters are already next to Sumadi.

I was of course shocked by this sudden incident.I sat by the bedside looking at Sumadi who was going to have her blood pressure checked.

Huuff it turns out I was dreaming. But the dream feels strange, my stomach feels full once”.
