MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
PART 8: SHOP EMPLOYEE


The voice was very similar to Yu Painem's, but slightly heavier.


I intend to open the curtain back to make sure it exists


someone is outside the house. Suddenly ...


MAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.


The sound of a cat pouncing on something behind the door, I flicked the curtains


a little to peek at it. Sure enough, the cat I took from the market earlier


morning was crawling behind the door, his expression as if he was attacking


something's. I looked around, there was no one outside.


May not the one who called my name was not a human, but a demite.


And the cat had just attacked the demon with his instincts as a guard


this house, replace the sweet one's duty. Imagine that, I feel


horrify themselves.


Before anything worse happened to me, I decided to


back to the room continue my night's sleep. I just turned around, though,


a terrifying scene suddenly appeared before me. Yu Darmi


sitting in one of the living room chairs, in the living room


dim as the light was only sourced from the dining room, that pale face


it looks more horrible. I also reflexively ran to the room. I don't know


why, even though I've been trying to run as fast as lightning, but it feels necessary


it was a long time to get to the room.


I slammed the door to prevent Yu Darmi from entering the room. I also


straight up on the mattress, stepping over Mas Diki, and adequacy in one


blanket with my husband. Inside the blanket, my face was facing


Mas Diki's. My breathing gnawed at my husband's face, he seemed surprised


with my sudden presence. It was evident with his sudden eyes


goggling.


“TIDAAAAAKK!!!” I shouted out loud. It turned out to be a figure lying down


one blanket with me is not Mas Diki, but Yu Darmi. I'm direct


I got out of bed because of fear.


“What's up, Dik?” the voice of Mas Diki suddenly appeared from behind the door.


“I-i-it's Mas. A-a-there is h-h-ghost,” I replied stammeringly while pointing to


the place where Yu Darmi was lying. I'm stuck in the corner of the bed.


Mas Diki walked over to me and revealed the blanket that covered Yu's body


Darmic. I gasp.


“This is the ghost?”-speak my husband while lifting objects under the blanket and


show it right in front of netraku-“ini bolsters, Dik. Not a ghost.”


I wonder, why in an instant, that creepy figure


turned into bolsters.


“But, Mas. Earlier-“


“Already, let's go to sleep again! Maybe you're just tired. Hence before


sleep, read prayer first!” cut it while laying me down and rubbing my forehead


who was sweating with a piece of tissue he pulled from his container on the table


chamber.


I still can't believe what I just saw.


“Mas from where was it?” ask me while tilting my body facing him.


“From the dining room. You're thirsty, so you're in the room


briefly,” he replied while closing his eyes.


“APAAA??? Obviously I went out and left my husband at


room, why did he say otherwise?”-think me-“or don't-don't I go outside


that room was just in a dream? I don't know, dizzy I thought about it.”


“Mas ... Mas ...” I shook the body of my husband who was starting to fall asleep.


“Why, Sister? Let's sleep!” he said while closing his eyes.


“Don't sleep first! I'm scared,” I replied.


“Come on the hunt to sleep! Tomorrow there is still much to do,” he said


while leaning to embrace me.


Being in her arms, made me feel a little calmer. And


I also fell asleep until dawn.


***


The next day before leaving for school, Nur told me that


last night he heard someone calling my name from behind the door.


His voice was still the same as the previous nights, I wanted to tell you what happened


strange that happened to me last night, but I paled out for fear of disturbing


the child's mind is my way.


Before going to the market with my husband, I took the time to feed


the cat that just stayed in my house. It looks like the cat has already


start living at home. May his presence replace the sweet. Stare


the cat that was eating reminded me


on last night's incident. He was the one who saved me from the Demit


calling my name from behind the door, but unfortunately the cat was


outside the house, so it can't save me from Yu's spirit disturbance


Darmi last night in the living room and in the room. It'll be night after Yu's house


Darmi, I'd better get this cat inside the house.


At ten o'clock in the morning, my husband and I were in the middle of the market


shopping for necessities tonight. After purchasing all the items written in


note, we also prepared to go to Yu Darmi's house. When menenteng


groceries, I accidentally tangled with someone, so


my groceries fell to the ground. The person reflexively helps pick up


my stuff is tingling on the ground.


“Siti?” my peek.


“Yes God, how are you Mbak?” ask Siti.


“Alhamdulillah healthy, Where are you going? Not that you've returned to


your hometown?” I asked back.


“That's it, Ma'am. A few months ago, I quit


working to Bu Darmi because it wants to be married by parents,” he replied.


“Terus?” my telisik.


“It turns out my future husband already has a wife's child. I'm sorry if I have to


being second,” he continued.


“Keep, You are here what is the plan?” askaku.


“The plan is to see Ms. Darmi. I want to work again on the field, Ma'am,”


reply weld.


“You haven't heard, Siti?” slowly say.


“Listen what, Ma'am? Bu Darmi already has a new employee, yes?” tannya


curious.


“Not,” answered.


“What's up, Ma'am?” tanyanya.


“Yu Darmi just died four days ago,” I replied.


“What Mbak? Samean was joking, right?” ask Siti.


“No, City. Seriously am! Yu Darmi died after a few days


the condition is drop,” I replied weakly. Slowly my eyes became dull.


“Yes Allah, Ma'am.” Siti slammed towards me, she hugged me tightly. Blubbering


rupture instantly.


“Why would anyone as good as Bu Darmi have to leave so soon? If only I knew


Ms. Darmi wants to die, I won't be home that time. I'll help take care of him


when sick,” Siti's voice on the sidelines of her crying.


Sadness has penetrated my tribe. I didn't expect, Yu Darmi who


known judes by people turned out to still leave a good impression in


employee's heart. Mas Diki was sad to see us crying together


mutually reinforcing.


Unpleasant lingering crying embrace in the middle of the market, I also invite


Siti to Yu Darmi's house. I was in contact with Mas Diki, while Siti


I rent out the service ojek base.

     “Siti, you don't have to go home first?


Help-help me here until the seventh day,” said I after dropping off Siti ‘nekar’


the tomb of Yu Darmi.


“Yes, Ma'am with pleasure,” he replied.


“Thank you yes, Siti,”.


“Sama-sama, Ma'am. I am happy to still be allowed to help,” replied Siti


with smile.


Today Bu Titi pamit could not help me because invited by Bu Mimin


I'm at Pasar Gede. Ms. Mimin also sends greetings through Bu Titi, but


fortunately there was still Siti so I didn't have to fear being at Yu's house


Darmic.


“Siti, try you taste the sauce!” say him.


“Eeeeeeee anu, Mbak,” he said is unclear.


“Why, Siti?” my many.


“Anu, Ma'am. I can't eat the food of the dead,” she replied


shyly smile.


“Okay, same then with me. Ask who help? Mas Diki's coming home, man,


Bu Titi and Bu Mimin also do not exist,” said I.


“Bu Mimin his wife Pak Sukirno?” tanyakanya.


“Iya,” answer.


“Oalah, it turns out they are neighbors with Bu Darmi,” he said back.


“Iya,” answer.


“Who are you asking for help, huh? Duh ...” said I was confused while


scratching heads. Suddenly ...


“It's been a gravy, Ma'am.” Sounding


Siti from behind me.


I turned towards her, Siti put down


the spoon he had just used to taste the sauce on the table.


“You-“


“Nothing, Ma'am. By Bu Darmi,”


he answered with a smile.


“You're really okay?” I'm worried, too,


I was afraid something would happen to him later.


“Iya, Ma'am. Just relax! Oh yes, Ma'am. Who


who sleeps in this house at night?” suddenly tanyanya.


“Nothing. Yuli and Fery ngekost nearby


their schools and colleges. If I sich every day always come home,”


my answer.


“Until the seventh night, may I


nginep in this house?” ask her in a light tone.


“APAAA??” peekiku don't believe in that


he just said.
