I Go Home Mas...
60. A Little More

Granddaughter Nyi Parijem walked towards the door of the house which is now wide open, Mbak Ukha and Lukman seemed to follow behind him with a cautious step.

The eyes of both of them seemed unsettled, glancing there and there to ensure that they would not be immediately greeted with ghost sightings or anything like that.

Until finally they arrived in the front room of Nyi Parijem house which is not how bright, but,

The room was empty and quiet, but there were seven flowers for the funeral.

In addition, there was also the smell of white frankincense which although not too strong, but still quite felt filled the room.

Sister Ukha his right hand reached for Lukman's arm, because it felt suddenly his body became goosebumps imagining the figure of his sister-in-law would appear there.

"Sit down, Mbah seems like it's not done yet."

Nyi Parijem said to Mbak Ukha and Lukman,

Madam Ukha and Lukman looked at each other, then at first they nodded their heads and then both sat on a pandan mat held on the floor of the room.

Nyi Parijem's grandson himself walked to the back, leaving behind Mbak Ukha and Lukman.

And...

As soon as Nyi Parijem's grandson entered the back room, suddenly the front door of Nyi Parijem's house closed itself.

Mbak Ukha and Lukman immediately turned to the door which then locked itself as well.

"Huh, Man, what is it?"

Ms. Ukha looked panicked, the woman stood up from her seat because she saw the door locking itself,

Lukman, who was sitting next to his brother, also stood up, both of them looking at the door with panicked faces,

"Ki... Let's just go home, man, this is not right."

Said Mrs Ukha,

Lukman will only obey the wishes of Mbak Ukha, when then the voice of an old woman from inside the room, heard,

"Sit down and shut up, you guys are so noisy!"

Both looked equally sculpted, confused as to how.

As seconds passed, both of them seemed afraid to sit again, also afraid if they had to run.

Until the grandson of Nyi Parijem again appeared with a basin of water that had mixed flowers seven forms, and,

Grandson Nyi Parijem walked while carrying a basin filled with flower water.

It seemed that he entered the front room where Mbak Ukha and Lukman who were standing in confusion were now looking at him with expressions still harboring fear as well,

"Why stand? Sit down."

Said Grandson Nyi Parijem, who then put a basin filled with flower water on a pandan mat in front of Mpa Ukha and Lukman.

The two brothers sat back, staring at the water in the basin that had just been placed by Nyi Parijem's grandson.

"What's this for?"

Ask Lukman curiously,

Nyi Parijem's grandson looked at Lukman, and then looked like he was smiling strangely.

A smile that somehow makes Lukman's hair a little creepy.

Grandson Nyi Parijem then stood up again, which along with that the front room door near the room now appears to open slowly.

Mbak Ukha and Lukman turned to the front room door, which then appeared there Nyi Parijem walked out carrying a jug of small clay tied by a rope,

Nyi Parijem's grandson was quick to help, he seemed so late in preparing everything.

"Mar... Marni, come here."

Nyi Parijem said as he stared at the corner of the house door.
