I laughed out loud hearing the commotion of these three magical friends of mine.
"Hust Aruni don't be so hard, you'll wake up and your mother will come again." Kukun reminded me.
I shut my mouth with both hands. "Hehe ups, release. Anyway, you guys, can really make my mood go up. It's like watching a comedy horror movie, you know."
"I'm funny, adorable. Not like these two, creepy, ugly shit."
"Well, once again you ghost shamming our same, sleeping in the warehouse one week!" Upset Cong-cong.
"Where can that be, who do you make rules like that, huh?" Sander said no.
"Aruni, look at him so annoying." Cong-cong complained to me.
"Haha, don't be so Sander. No good, you better shut up now, I'm going to bed. It's almost late." I closed my eyes slowly.
"Well, good night and beautiful dreams, Aruni." Compact speech of my three magical friends.

Today is exactly 40 days Uwo-uwo meditated, which means soon he will get the heirloom keris. Later that night, Gitarja, Mas Genta, and Mas Alif also gathered at the sewage house to welcome the return of Uwo-uwo.
I woke up in the morning, I set the alarm at 04:00. Because today Anin and I are going to school, and on this day Uwo-uwo alan comes home. It turns out that yes, a person will feel lost when the missed one is not in front of him. Just like myself who is very anxious about my magical friend this one, although sometimes a little annoying.
When I finished praying and was making up my mind, my three magical friends came over.
"Night Uwo-uwo will be home, huh?" Ask Sander.
I nodded my head. "Heem, tonight at exactly 12pm the lunar eclipse will appear. And that heirloom kris can Uwo-uwo take." My answer.
"May all be waged by Allah, so that Ki Braha does not disturb your life anymore, Aruni." Cong-cong looked at me with a meaningful look.
"Aamiin, God, thank you guys. You're always by my side, I can't imagine if you weren't in my life. I'm glad to have you guys." My eyes started to glaze over.
"We are also happy to know you Aruni, you are a good girl, should not be subjected to cruel treatment from a genie king. He deserves to be destroyed!"
I smiled, I turned to Kukun who was smiling to himself.
"What's wrong with him? Why smile at yourself like that?" I asked Sander and Cong-cong.
"You're like you don't know him, his father will soon be coming home, yes he must be happy. It's been like that from last night." Answer Uwo-uwo.
"If there were a mental hospital for ghosts, I would have put him there. She smiles like that there is no cute at all, even seem more creepy." Chirps Sander.
"It's been a ghost really like julid, pantes are called early same god!" Kukun Sahut.
I held my laughter when I heard Kukun's words. "You seem to be so happy, so long for the hairy creature." I said while chuckling.
"How not to miss, one more month we didn't meet." Answer Kukun timidly.
"Cong, look and hear it like that, I want to throw up." Whisper Sander at Cong-cong.

Tonight everyone gathered at home, only Gitarja and Mas Alif have not arrived. He said he'd come home after tomorrow, because something was being taken care of.
Mas Genta came with two packs of martabak eggs, he really knows what is liked by sewage, budhe, and mother. Simbah and Mas Genta were talking in the guest room, while me, my mother, Budhe, and Anin were in the kitchen to make food.
Shortly after, the sound of a sports motorcycle stopped in front of the sewage house, mas Alif and eyang Gitarja had arrived apparently, and it turned out Raka also participated.
"Waste!" Raka ran towards the lap of sewah.
"Hei Raka's coming along anyway." Sewah stroked Raka's hair and was answered with a nod of the head by Raka.
"Yes sober, when I said he wanted to come here he could not wait to come along. Besides, there's no way I'm gonna leave him alone at home." Timpal mas Alif.
"Yes no papa, later let all of you sleep here, yes, Raka want to sleep at the sewage house?"
"Oh yeah obviously want dong, eh mbak Runi where mbah?" Raka is wretched looking for Aruni's whereabouts.
"Kitchen, again make food. There's a back."
The time has shown at 23:30, I, Eyang Gitarja, mas Genta, and mas Alif are sitting ready to wait for the arrival of Uwo-uwo. While Anin, Sewah, mother, budhe, and Raka had gone to sleep.
"in 30 minutes, that heirloom kris will Uwo-uwo take." Said Eyang Guitarja while sipping his black coffee.
"Eyang, will the heirloom keris be able to be taken directly? I mean, are there no more challenges?" Ask me about Genta.
"Maybe one challenge was when he had to split the stone that became the theme of the planting of heirloom keris by Ki Bahrat. Who forgot to tell you, that actually in taking the keria there is a duration of time." Answer Eyang.
"Time duration? What do you mean?" My toot.
"Uwo-uwo must be able to split the stone perfectly to be able to take the heirloom keris within 10 minutes."
"Why 10 minutes, eyang?" Timpal mas Alif.
"Because the lunar eclipse only happened for 10 minutes."
"Then what happens if Uwo-uwo fails to split the stone within 10 minutes?"
"Must repeat it again 100 years to come. Because a lunar eclipse only happens once every 100 years."
The deg!
"Can Uwo-uwo do it? While he had just climbed a sapahan mango tree behind the house just looked tired, understand him is a decrepit ghost. It's hundreds of years old." Chirps Sander.
Plaque!
Kukun hit Sander's shoulder. "You're saying, he's the strongest creature I've ever met, you know. Don't underestimate him in front of me, yeah!" Sahut Kukun did not accept.
"Oh, very scared." Sander showed his frightened face.
"Your hostage don't talk like that, I'm sure Uwo-uwo can do it." Mas Genta.

"Prepare my granddaughter, 5 minutes from the lunar eclipse is coming. You need to know, the lunar eclipse will only last for 10 minutes. And your next task, Harua can pull out the heirloom keris before the lunar eclipse is gone. If you don't make it, you have to take it 100 years later when the lunar eclipse reappears." Ki Bahrat's voice echoed throughout the cave.
"Ah this grandfather, why not tell me in advance if there is a time limit. In that case, I haven't prepared everything. I don't think there's a time limit in removing the heirloom's keris. Especially if I fail I have to repeat it 100 years later? Ck, this grandpa could be playing me!" Uwo-uwo grunts in his heart that can be heard by Ki Bahrat.
"Hahaha, this one is what I did on purpose, my grandson. I want to know how far you can manage your time and how sharp your dexterity is. But you take it easy, I'm sure you'll be able to take it."
"It is time, open your eyes and rise from your hermitage. Walk towards a stone on your left, where the heirloom's dagger I plugged. Remember, you only have 10 minutes, hurry up!" Ki Bahrat's Order.
Uwo-uwo then opened his eyes and walked to the stone on his left, he began to recite the mantra that had been taught by his grandfather. Slowly the stone split and accompanied by a flash of light from between the stones.
Time has shown at 00:05, Uwo-uwo is still struggling to get the heirloom keris. Just a little more, half more so that the stone can be split perfectly.
"Hurry up, my grandson, you have only 5 minutes left."
"But cake, why does it seem like this stone is not moving anymore huh?" Uwo-uwo panicked as he continued to recite the mantra.
"Focus my grandson, think about the life and safety of your human friend!"
Uwo-uwo closed his eyes, his mouth continued to mutter and recite mantras and hands moving on the half-split stone. Slowly the stone returned to move, now the whole keria almost visible, only the tip of the keris alone is not yet visible.
"1 minute, hurry up! Soon this lunar eclipse will be gone!"
Uwo-uwo starts to panic, he is afraid if he fails to get the heirloom keris. He would feel guilty for Aruni.
"Focus, keep thinking positive things!" Shouted Ki Bahrat.
When it was less than 20 seconds away, the entire stone was already perfectly split apart. The eyes of Uwo-uwo sparkling objects that he fought for 40 days are now in front of his eyes, he immediately took the keria and lifted it up.
"Grandfather, I made it to the cake. I managed to get this heirloom keris!!!" Shouted Uwo-uwo with teary eyes.
