Those Who Want My Body
About Bi Rami

By night, my mother was ready to go home. So did Mala, Shahdan and papa. Initially Shahdan whined at Mala's mother to stay here, but Mala did not approve.

"I helped change the bandages."

"You feel better?"

"Thanks to taking the medicine that you gave me so lovingly, my fever has gone down." I was a little teasing Anwar.

"Unusually, you tease a mas like this." Mas Anwar pinched my cheek.

"Why indeed? Can't you, or would you rather be seduced by another woman?" I stared hard at Anwar.

"My wife gets prettier when she's angry like this. If it wasn't you, I wouldn't like it."

Anwar and I threw jokes at each other. Sometimes Anwar grimaced in pain, because I cleaned his wound.

"Nor do you forget to take your medicine."

Anwar nodded.

Mobile phone mas Anwar ringing sign call in.

"Yes, I'm right. Wait a minute, I'm out first."

"Who's the mas?"

"You wait here."

"But I..."

"It's okay."

A few minutes later Anwar came with a few plastic bags.

"Subscribe food via the app."

"Message me food?"

"Heem. You are sick, and the same. If you come out, I'm afraid you're still in shock about what happened this morning. So order online. It's the Twin pecel buy, it's also a message martabak telor, there's this, this is also." Mas Anwar took out one by one the food he ordered.

"Oh my goodness. Isn't this too much? Are you sure we can spend it?"

"Come, but I want to eat all this food." Anwar smiled with his teeth.

Seeing Anwar cravings like this, I remembered the story of the pocong figure the first time I could see 'them'.

***

My neighbors are gossiping about the passing of bi Rami. Whether it is true or not, reportedly bi Rami died pregnant.

But what makes my neighbors gossip about each other is not about the pregnancy, but the cause of the death of bi Rami.

Bi Rami and her husband have been married for a long time, but have not been given a child. Have been pregnant several times, but always miscarry. Unlike the current, bi Rami can maintain the gestational age up to seven months.

Reportedly her current pregnancy, always craved strange things. Like eating raw beef liver, inhaling the gasoline scent of other strange things. The myth that until this cravings are not realized, at birth later his son 'ngiler' continues.

Before he died, there was another moment bi Rami craved something strange. Her husband strongly opposed bi Rami's curiosity. For some time, I did not know what bi Rami wanted so her husband was against her wishes. But I heard from a neighbor who was next to bi Rami, had heard the husband and wife quarrel. If not wrong, bi Rami really wants to kiss a child whose head is bald. It was rare, the children in my village who shaved their hair to bald.

There were only three small children whose heads were bald at that time. A 40-day-old baby, a new toddler walking and me. Coincidentally, at that time because I had a skin disease all over my head, so it requires my hair to be shaved to be treated properly.

Because sulking at her husband, bi Rami to a hunger strike and drink for three days. On the fourth day, bi Rami fell ill. So that the mother of bi Rami, persuaded his son-in-law to obey the wishes of his son who was craving.

Seeing his wife's weak condition, her husband felt unbearable and finally obeyed the wishes of bi Rami. Her husband asked the child's mother, who had just learned to walk, to come to his house. Despite the doubts, the mother still came to bring her child.
