My feet felt on the floor. I just stared with trembling lips and tears dripping from the end of my eyes.
Aaaahhhh. Whatisthis? My stomach hurts.
Serr. The scar on my stomach was bleeding again. Fresh red.
Blood was pouring down my clothes to my pants. My stomach is getting painful.
"Sihihihihihihihihihi." The red kuntilanak chuckled. His eyes glared at me savagely.
The wind continued to blow into my room. Cold pierced into the bone marrow. The wind stopped and..
Buakk. The door closed hard.
My eyes twitched, then it darkened for a moment.
* * *
"A. Adi's. Wake In,"
I opened my eyes slowly.
"Adi. Why sleep on the floor? Adi's. At." Mas Gun patted me on the cheek.
I woke up from falling. Ahhhh. My stomach still hurts. I remember what happened last night. My body shuddered.
"In, you why is this? How bloody?" Gun asked again.
"A. Lo why Di?" Gun asked loudly.
"Ma-mas, I'm ta-fear mas." I said with a whimpering tone. Then I hugged Mas Gun tightly. Cry exploded. What am I supposed to do?
Mas Gun patted me on the shoulder slowly, he calmed me down. And talk like everything's gonna be okay. I know he also gets frequent interruptions. We take off the hug.
"Liet down. If you leave here, it doesn't solve the problem. Yasudah, we'll face it. Okay." he said while grinning, two of his canine teeth were visible.
"How do you deal with it, Mas?" my many.
Gun just shrugged his shoulders.
"There's gotta be a way. There may not be. Remember, evil must always lose with virtue." he said.
"Here take a shower, keep going to college!" tell Mas Gun.
I took a shower and got ready for college.
It's been a few days since Mas Gun went to college. He said every day his body feels weak. I suggested to go to the campus clinic, he refused. Mas Gun said, he just did not feel well later also healed himself. And since living with me in Kos Pak Thamrin, no more friends have come to see him.
Sometimes I feel a little guilty, why would Mas Gun allow me to stay here with me. Though I know very well Mas Gun, he hobbies hanging out and gathering with his friends.
"Di" called Mas Gun just before I left for college.
"Yes. Why Mas?"
"Later to go home from college I tipped gado-gado lontong ya. Suddenly eat hodgepodge."
"Oohs. Okay Mas. Any more tits?" my many.
"Emm, say the seller does not have to use bitter melon. If it can be replaced lontong aja. Hehehehe." muttered Mas Gun.
"oalaahs. Really can?"
"Hahaahaha. Try asking, if it can be enough to get additional lontong."
I'm off to college. I looked at Tika's room, still closed. Already gone to college maybe, or still relaxing in the room. I don't know.
Triingg. Incoming messages.
I saw my phone. The tika?
- Later in the day we have to meet. There's something I want to talk to. Important -.
Tika asked to meet, what would he talk about? Oh shit, I was curious. Nope. Not curious, I'm being degdegan. Maybe he wants to express his feelings again? Hehehe. Shit, I'm not calm like this. I set off for college with a big smile etched on my lips.
"Why is your face bright gini Di?" ask Yuda as soon as he gets to class.
"Why lo? So the same Kemala?"
"Hehehehe. What Kemala? I'm sorry who is that?" sahutku.
Bugg. Yuda punched me in the arm.
"This is a very big boy. Used to be upset because of Kemala, now act. Uh, again why the hell lo?"
"I'm okay. Hehehe. There is nothing Da. Why is my face bright?" my reply.
"Not usually."
The lecturer came, and the lecture began.
Lecture this morning is over at ten, and will be back at about two o'clock. Yuda and I headed to the faculty cafeteria. Actually want to coffee in the shop One Way, but it seems a bit lazy to walk there.
"Eh Di, last night I had a really weird dream." Yuda opened the chat as soon as the class left.
"What dream?"
We walked slowly on the fifth floor.
"Mas Gun's dream. Mas Gun At."
"Mas Gun Dream? Just where's the weird Yudaaaa?" my many.
"Yes very strange. I'm not very familiar with Mas Gun, how can I dream of him." Yuda's strange answer was thrown.
"It is precisely you who are strange Da. Dreams can be requested. You freak lo!"
"This isn't finished yet. Can I continue?"
I'm nodding. We stood in front of the elevator.
"What makes it strange, I see there are spooky sightings in." continued Yuda.
"What's? Spooky sightings? How'd it look?" my many.
Ting. Elevator sounds. Door opens.
We walked into the elevator with a group of other students. Yuda did not continue his dream story.
Ting. The elevator door opened, on the first floor.
We exited the elevator and continued our way to the faculty cafeteria.
"Further dong" I asked.
"The spooky appearance of Satan is like that of Di. Hiiiyyy." said Yuda.
Judah brought his face to my ear, and whispered.
"Similar to the red kuntilanak we see in other realms."
Deg deg deg deg deg deg deg.
My heart is beating fast. Just hearing his name made my body uneasy. The feathers of kudukku bristles. I had a wound in my stomach that was bleeding last night from seeing a red kuntilanak. Still feels sore and painful.
"Serius lo Da? You're not making it up, are you?" many ensure.
"Why do I make up a dream story to meet Mas Gun and see the devil. Mending I made up a date with Pevita Pearce." reply Yuda.
I'm silent.
The atmosphere of the faculty canteen. Almost all the benches are filled. The sound of the twang of the spoon hitting the sahut plate could be heard. Rumblings and laughter filled the large room. Yuda and I went to the drinks storefront.
"Milk coffee one mas. What do you want Di?" ask Yuda.
"Es an orange." I replied briefly.
My mind cannot be separated from the story of Yuda's dream about red kuntilanak and Mas Gun. What relation?
Yuda took two packs of brown bread. Put two fried tempeh and tofu into clear plastic crackle. Our order drinks are finished. After paying, we looked for a seat.
"How else does Da go?" my many.
We sat on the front porch floor of the cafeteria, as the seats were fully filled.
"At first I saw a red kuntilanak in front of me. He stood behind me. Then, suddenly the red kuntilanak looked back and saw me. I am excited at. To cry it feels. And I was shocked when I saw Mas Gun standing in front of the red kuntilanak, his shoulder was held the same kuntilanak. Hiiyy. Amit-amit deh, do not want me to dream that again." Yuda story.
My thoughts about Tika are broken. In my mind is only the story of the dream of Judah. I'm afraid this is a sign that Mas Gun is being targeted.
Grab my phone. I'll call Mas Gun immediately.
"Where is lo Mas's body? Did you eat?"
"Still weak. How about college at what time?"
"Jam threesome Mas. Do you want me to go back to college?" ask again.
"Yes, long time at that hour."
"Order meal via ojek online aja mas. You're afraid to wait for me later, hunting again sprawl."
"OK on."
Mas Gun closed the conversation.
"In, what's the pain of Mas Gun?" ask Yuda.
I let out a breath.
"Gue doesn't know Da. Initially very serem. Mas Gun was suddenly not in the room in the middle of the night, exactly like the Bagas case." I said.
"Huh? Seriously lo? How then?" ask Yuda surprised.
I told you about the night Mas Gun went missing. I checked the empty house in front of the gate and in fact Mas Gun was not there. Until I told you Mas Gun met in the tree.
"Crazy anyway, you mending hastily moved from there on. It's not right it's boarding. There are many strange events that you experience." Yuda suggested, he while chewing on brown bread.
I don't know the truth about Yuda. In my little heart, it's been a long time since I've wanted to leave. Only fate says something else. I've been tagged, going from there doesn't solve the problem. I'll still be targeted.
"Eh eat bread! I purposely bought two." tell Yuda.
I opened the bread bag, then ate it. My mind is getting complicated. I'm thinking about Mas Gun's safety.
Triggs.
I saw my phone. Message from Tika.
there are no classes, right? -
Hah, where did Tika know?
Triggs.
meet me behind the economics faculty. Now!- now!
What the fuck Tika? Why did he urge me to see him now. What's the important thing anyway?
Triggs. Tika sent another message?
- S E K A R A N G! ! ! -
Kubal.
- O K E. -
"Da, I'm staying a minute."
"Eh, where are you going?" ask Yuda.
"When meeting at the faculty of economics." I replied.
"Ciyeeeeeee. Okay deh. Spirit Diii. If it is a treaty, yaaa," ledek Yuda.
I left Yuda. Fast-forward to the Faculty of Economics. What exactly does Tika want to talk about? I don't want to think about anything.
Behind the Faculty of Economics there is a field not too big. Usually there is a dumping ground of building debris. Very rarely are people there. The janitor was sometimes reluctant, especially students. Because it is the most corner and hidden, also far from the crowd. Then why did Tika ask me to meet there?
Triggs. Incoming messages? Must be from Tika.
Justright.
long time ago - -
What happened to Tika? Why am I being told to hurry.
Kubal.
- Yes bawel. It's otw. -
I arrived behind the Faculty of Economics. Tika was waiting for me, she was sitting under a brick tree. His face is serious. I approached him.
"Why did you meet Tik? Don't you want to go somewhere else?" my many.
Tika got up from her seat.
"There's no time" he answered briefly.
"You want to talk about something important, what is Tik? Until we meet here." I asked.
"Did you come to the red kuntilanak last night?" ask Tika.
I was surprised to hear Tika's question.
"Adi Jawab. Arrived or not?" force Tika.
"Yeah. I don't know if last night was a dream or not" I replied.
Tika took a long breath.
"It looks like Di's soon" said Tika.
"anytime soon? What does Tik mean?" many wonder.
Tika sat back on the brick, he looked far away somewhere and did not know what he was looking at.
"They will attack us soon" replied Tika.
Suddenly my heart was beating fast. I squatted in front of Tika.
"Acts. Lo seriously?" my many.
Tika's silent. I swallowed spit.
"Gue was sure they would attack us soon. Kuntilanak has not been able to fall. Maybe this is the right time to attack us." replied Tika while looking down lethargic.
"What should we do with rats? Badrun's grandfather had not shown his form for a long time." I asked.
"Prepare yourself."
What the fuck Tika? Prepare yourself how? What should I prepare? Mustika Dawan does not know how to feed.
We're speechless.
Suddenly Tika rolled up the arm of her shirt, she showed a scar on her arm. Yeah, the exact same scar as me. Tika was also marked. We've been marked by the red kuntilanak.
"That red kuntilanak came to me last night. The wound was bleeding again and I fainted. Yuli could only cry looking at the blood on my arm this morning." explained Tika.
After that we went back in silence. What Tika experienced last night, the same as me.
"Eh Di, did Grandpa Badrun ever tell you anything?" tika asked surprised me.
"Seek something, huh? It feels like a lot." I replied while thinking.
"Try to remember again! Perhaps Grandpa Badrun's orders were how to feed Dawana mustika." said Tika.
I tried to remember Grandpa Badrun's orders.
"At least I was told to tahajud, continue to pray for protection with God. That's all I remember." I replied.
Tika thought. Then he snapped his finger.
"Well, maybe that's how to feed Dawana mustika. With tahajud prayer. What do you think of Lo?"
"That's probably Tik. Not necessarily true." I reply.
"Udah, start later tonight lo tahajud. I will also carry it out. Let's go with each other. Who knows if that's how to feed Dawana's mustika." proposed Tika.
I'm asserting.
"Hey! What are you guys doing there?" an officer shouted to surprise us.
"Drug trafficking?" ask again.
"Bu-not Sir. We're just talking." I replied.
"Many good places to talk on campus, why choose to chat here? Get out there, don't talk here." tell the officer.
We also left the back area of the Faculty of Economics.
