Treaty


My spirit felt dull and vibrating. I felt pressure all over the body, as if it was being crushed by solid ground. But, this pressure is like sucking, or even pulling me tight.


Wuuush!!


My body crashed, jolted like riding a vehicle at maximum speed. My eyes were closed, because the wind was blowing as if making the eyes sting.


What the hell's going on? Why... This spirit suddenly got sucked in so strongly?? Actually, why am I being called? Does that guy, want to execute me??"


I kept moaning, holding my spirit from flying. As this pull gets stronger, all of a sudden..


Booom!!!


My body was blown back strongly, making this spirit seem to fall from the highest floor of a room.


I closed my eyes, groaned and felt pain in my spine and tailbone. I squirm, rolling to the left and to the right quickly.


"Adudyudu!! It hurts!" I complained while flexing my body so that both hands could touch my back. When I managed to do so, I gasped and opened my eyes, revealing a scene far different from the one before.


The narrow, dark and sinister place had been turned into a spacious room that was even too spacious for me to be alone. I looked around, looking all over the room. This place is not foreign, all that distinguishes it is its condition. Messy, and full of dry foliage that could somehow get inside here. I gasped, when I realized, now I was in the art room.


I who sat facing the window started to move. Why am I suddenly here again? Is, my spirit was actually pulled and crashed here?? Or, because indeed I have agreed on a promise to be locked up in this place, so I will still come back here as far as anything goes.


"Assalamualaikum, Adam Suganda" said a voice coming from behind. I gasped, for some reason his voice made my heart tremble.


I gulped, ready to turn around. I looked behind my shoulder, revealing a strange light that was absolutely dazzling, just like I had seen before.


I blinked and closed my eyes, unable to look at the light up close. The choice was nothing else, except to bow your gaze.


"You didn't answer my greetings, because you can't?" he asked, and I would rather be quiet than have to answer his question. "Alright if you don't want to answer anything, but it looks like you have to explain to me all the things that have happened to you lately."


"Do you actually have a special desire to use the magical power of ghosts? Or you, want to master the special knowledge possessed by the kuntilanak?" terkanya with Javanese accent thick, but he will try to speak Indonesian when communicating with everyone except his wife, and I still right silent. Won't answer it.


"You know, that kind of deed is dangerous to you. And you shouldn't be in this place confused by the haunting. You're not as bad as spooky ghosts, but you might be more dangerous than they are. So, it's best to dim your strength, or you yourself will feel the difficulties later." I blinked at her hearing her talk.


"Don't show yourself to another human being, like before. Just shut up and let the people work. Shouldn't a good ghostly nature not bother humans? You know it yourself. If you do that on purpose, it looks like I will act quite loudly in speaking to you. Are you ready to talk to me a lot?"


I blinked flat while glancing at the sweeping view of the floor. He talks so much that I can't answer any of his questions. I was shaky and confused too.


"Ck, talk a lot. Noisy knows!" hatch me in the end, make the atmosphere back gripping. I gasped when I realized my own words. I may say something bad to someone who will soon punish me.


"Hahaha, Mashaa Allah..is still as brazen as ever it turns out." said the glare light.


I blinked, still unable to look at his face, but somehow my body seemed to be sculpting and unable to turn around even for a moment.


"Then, we don't have to talk formally and directly to the point" he said. The high light was slowly lowering, as if I was sitting crouching even though I was unable to look at it. "Okay, there's a lot of news I've been getting, and the troublemaker is you. So, what do you want?? Do I want to punish?" the question is gentle, making me frown.


"Who likes to be in the law? I didn't make a mistake!" I argue, trying to defend myself.


"Ooh, didn't you do anything wrong?" he repeated, in that glare light, one of his hands was raised. Right after that, suddenly my ears felt pain, making me groan violently.


"AAAAAAW!! TASTE IN THE PINCH!!" my cry, made the laughing voice of kiyai sound back.


"That's called the occult pinch. Even without touching, I can do it from afar." he said gladly. I snorted while wiping my ears, wanting to be alive or dead, he loved to pull the ears of others. Yeah, even if it was just him doing it to me anyway.


"You don't have to be tickled, there are already many victims that you fear. Whether it falls in front of a grave, a fake exkul, scares Bu Desti, and most recently.Why are you disrupting the police performance? Huh uh?!" the question, made me take a deep breath.


"Why ask?" tell me, and he can only reply with "Huh?" curt. "No need to ask should kiyai already know what really happened. The others I studied, and others, I tried to defend my residence. And now what? Kiyai wants to punish me unilaterally, without understanding my situation first?" added me.


"You always think badly of others. I'm asking you to talk, because I want to hear your defense. So now, please tell me what you want." he said.


I fell silent, gathered up everything that was hidden, and prepared to reveal it. "I want to protect myself and try to control the power I have. I do not want to because of this power, I am targeted by the powerful men. And I want to become stronger, to be able to kill the devil." I said, and got no answer from kiyai.


"Controlling power is not easy, so I follow the existing procedures in order to control it properly. Not just releasing a great power. And that procedure, it requires me to scare people." I explained. "Then, I had no intention of disrupting the police duty at all, I did, because they were trying to evict me from this place. Though my only place of residence is this place." I explained, trying to defend myself.


He took a long breath. "Then, why did you get out of this place, didn't you know that we made a deal here?" ask again.


I fell silent, tightly clenched my lips as if reluctant to answer, but somehow. "Said Tamusong, I will be punished by kiyai."


"Tamusong?" kiyai.


"Tante's charred face." I said briefly. He was silent for a moment, as if he was familiar. Tamusong is an old ghost, and he lives not far from school. Kiyai must be familiar, right?


"The lady's snout?? You believe it more than I do?" ask again.


I snorted bitterly. "Should I trust you? Now that it's real, your enemy is me. And I, not that naughty little boy who always wanted to uphold the truth. I'm a ghost, and kiyai wants me to trust my own enemies?"


I could see the light begin to shake. It was as if I was shocked to hear my own words. "Really, you never change. Never trust anyone, even I'm sure you don't fully trust the barge you said you did."


Now it was my turn to listen. "Tamusong knows! Indiscriminately change people's names!!" sambar me, correcting his words.


"You yourself are also recklessly calling someone else's name!" the reply, made me laugh amusedly.


"Oh, yes, too. Kihihihi."


He willingly refused the request of the humans for my sake?? Even making a deal with them and me?? So, what agreement did he make for me??


"What agreement does kiyai mean?"


"They wanted me to clean the art room, but I refused. I want you to stay there, but on one condition." He hung his words, making me cringe.


"What's that?"


"I made a taboo in this school." he said.


"Challenge?" I repeat, as if I didn't believe it.


"Yes. These are the rules you want. Benefit each other. Where I forbid students or anyone to enter the art room and stop harassing your residence. But, there are conditions that you must meet. There can be no more bargaining, I've been kind enough to keep you in this place." he said, as if he was sure that I would protest against his terms.


"Who would bid? Kiyai is selling!!" reply me ketus.


"Yes, you're ngeyel's son. There will be more cingcong."


"Who's the big one?!" knock me again.


"Cingcong, boy!!"


"Kihihi. the deaf." I mocked.


"You are deaf!!" He screamed back.


"Yes, what's the condition for me?" ask me again. "I want to listen to you."


He was silent for a moment, only to sigh. "The humans have asked me to stay away from where you live, so.. You are forbidden to disturb humans here for any reason. You're allowed to stay here forever, this is your place and you're not going to be expelled. But, if you still break this covenant and disturb humans."


"Then you will get severe punishment, and I won't consider you a bad boy anymore. You, I'm going to fight, as I antagonize the blood-eating demon." he said, making my chest feel pierced by thorns.


"Do you understand?" ask again. I nodded, refusing to answer anything.


"Good, now, stay in this place, and since you broke our first promise, you will be locked up day and night in this place. You're not going anywhere. And all you need to remember.." I raised my head and looked at the light. "Don't trust any ghosts in this realm. Each of you, each of you, has no benefit at all. So, stand firm with your own feet." he said again.


I'm speechless. Is he mocking? He told me to stand on my own feet, but I could not stand on my own feet, but fly floating.


After speaking, suddenly the art room that was previously empty, now began to be filled with people. From the teachers, Bu Desti to the police. In fact, I had not seen their presence at all, but why now could I see them??


The light had already disappeared, along with the humans who had started to leave the room.


"Current?" someone said hello, making me gasp because I just realized the presence of this ghost. Yeah, he's not a person, but a figure.


"Well, Tamusong? Since when did you squat there? Are you on a?"


Tamusong's face paled, normally he would rise in blood hearing my speech, but not for this time. "So long ago, but we're not on the same frequency. Kiyai's limiting her, so you're just talking alone without anyone hearing it." she said, making me gawk.


"So, what did Kiyai tell you? He got angry and kicked you out? Or is he going to do something to you?" the question was quick, making me stare flat at him.


Instantly kiyai's speech came to pass, where I did not need to believe any ghosts. But, does that apply to Tamusong?? It feels weird if I say bad to him.


But, it seems like this should be done. I don't want to have to do this to him.


"Don't pretend to worry, it's nothing to do with you." I said, making Tamusong gasp to hear it.


"What did you say?" he asked, as if afraid of hearing wrong.


"The thing is, I made a deal. If I am, I can't bother people anymore, like what you told me." I said. "If I break, this time, I will be truly punished mercilessly."


"So, stop approaching me and be pretentious. I, hate the device." I said, making a look of shock and disbelief emanated from Tamusong's face.


For some reason, suddenly his gaze was deep towards me. Even a little reddened and glazed. He smiled, with a sad and sad look.


He lowered his gaze, with a smile that looked so bitter. "So that's it?? I'm sorry." he said.


I gasped for her gentle treatment. Didn't he usually fight neck veins and yell at me, but now..why is the response different??


I feel guilty for him. And why, my heart feels cloudy after hurting him with my words??


Wh why?
