Superstitions


I screamed when I saw the creepy sightings that were behind. Suddenly, this sinister face appeared at an inopportune moment. He looked at me flat with his hands hidden under his clothes.


"Yahoooo!! Ohhhhoo!!" screech me, make him reflect my head.


"We are both demons know!!" reply, made me frown bitterly while rubbing my head.


"Oh, Tamusong! Your face is creepy tofu!" my grousers, do not forget the eyes that are narrowed and pursed lips.


"My face is like this!! A long time ago, every day you saw him in the grave. What makes you scream so?" annoyed.


"The name was surprised too. If you're surprised anyway, seeing the cockroach standing must also be shocked."


Tamusong scrunched his forehead. "Aren't there any cockroaches standing? I know he's always crawling." - his ideal, with a face of astonishment.


"Yes, it's a baby cockroach, he just learned to crawl. If you are an adult, you can walk on both feet. Yesterday I saw a cockroach that was not (Learning to walk, a term used by the Bangka people) near WC!"


Tamusong nodded his head. "Oh, so yes." a moment later, he gasped when he realized something. "Where is there such a thing!! All cockroaches walking on all fours know!! Don't fool the old ghost!! You can do it later! It's a lie to see him in the WC anyway, you can't get out of that room yourself!" he continued, incessant anger.


"I'm just talking, who told Tamusong to believe, who?" my timpal. "After all for what the hell Tamusong into here, this is the place for High School children. Tamusong has expired!"


Etc!!


He plucked his fingers into my forehead. "You are outrageous of his mouth! I'm here because you're looking for it because you keep going!! You're a hassle to know! And again that, you turned into a red Kuntilanak?!" point it at the clothes I wear.


"Who said it was yellow? The yellow one's your teeth!"


"You want to be in Qurban, right? Keep looking!!" snapped again.


I clicked my tongue with cynical eyes. "What am I really why? It's just playing around."


Now it was Tamusong's turn to click the tongue. "You let out a great power, so that all the ghosts can feel its power. I told you, so that you don't carelessly unleash great power! It could be dangerous if there's a powerful human being who feels it."


"Masa'? Kan Tamusong or kiyai can muffle it for me." I said casually.


"It's true." He justifies thinking. "But do not make excuses and benchmarks as well! Even though your strength had suddenly disappeared."


I nodded my head. "Well, that's right what I said. So don't overdo it begi-Gyaaaaaaah!!" I screamed as he re-picked his fingers into my forehead.


"It's safe, but you're not safe in the eyes of Kiyai! You are so naughty! You're just asking to be let off the rope that's entangling you, not break out of your cage! My head can break if you keep acting like this. If I knew that, I wouldn't tell you how to escape. Let it be tied like shoelaces!" with a panicked look on his face.


"Yes, Tamusong does not need to worry excessively. If I do something, I am prepared for the risk. So I've also thought about the impact." I said.


"So you're ready to be tied again with a bigger rope? Not-don't this time you'll even be tied by a barbed rope." he threatened.


"Kiyai, right?? I will be punished anyway, but this is also the way I protest to him. He's an outrageous. Masa' he could tie me up like this? So annoying! Already in brackets, tied up again." protest me.


"That's because you started it, you fought it. You like to search because yes, never learn from mistakes. Why do you think you're in brackets, because you're looking for something, right?"


I fell silent, and my gaze now began to sharpen. "Search for trouble?? Didn't I just obey Tamusong's words at first? After all I know what kind of person kiyai is. So no need to be in trouble anyway. Find out because it is my habit. So all Tamusong has to do is get used to it."


He snorted until his chest went up and down. Act like you can breathe. "The bad thing you shouldn't make a habit. Shouldn't you be taught something like that by your father?" he replied, making my gaze suddenly empty. He blinked, as if feeling guilty about what he said just now.


"My dad??" I repeat his words. "He didn't have time to do that." Tamusong's face changed, completely harboring sadness from the look in his eyes. "I just live with him, it doesn't mean I'm well taught. We only met at the dinner table, after which he took care of his work. Yeah, but even so. I know he's trying to be a good dad. Who asked me for my lesson today. Who asked if there were bad people in school, had eaten or not, had done PR or not. Well, just that."


"Sometimes he's weird. Especially if Friday night Kliwon arrives, all day he will fast and do not eat rice. But trust me, because he's the only single parent I've got, me.."


"Lumayan loves him." I said, making Tamusong gasp and pout his lips.


"Father is just like a shadow, and like someone whose calling is different from others. Even though he's bad, he's actually trying good. But, as good as Dad.."


"Kiyai is so much better than she is at treating me."


"I deliberately let go of myself and didn't wait for kiyai, because I knew he wouldn't let me go, if I didn't try myself. All he saw was someone's effort, so I thought about freeing myself."


"Proven, from him who protects my power from the observation of the mighty man. Even if there was a mistake from the thing I did just now, the person who should have come first was not you, Tamusong. Except kiyai." Tamusong gasped at my words. "Even if he doesn't come, that means.."


"He understands what I do, and forgives me."


Tamusong scrunched his forehead. "You're so sure?" I nodded.


"What time is it?" ask me, making Tamusong frown even more.


Tamusong did not release the pain from his forehead. "Why are you smiling now?" ketus tanyanya.


"No, that means nothing on the tum-" I gasped and fell silent. Suddenly my sense of smell smelled strange, like a human smell.


Who's coming? Why would a human come in the middle of the night like this? It's not twelve o'clock at night. What is this, the victim called to be the victim??


I immediately passed, and flew away leaving Tamusong still staring at the spot. He was silent, letting me go without question, but the look on his face could not lie, if he was curious about my behavior.


Taps..


...Taps.....


^^^Tap..^^^


The sound of footsteps approached, heard on the second floor. There are two different footsteps. This.. two people? But why isn't the other one scented at all??


I closed my eyes, piercing through the sound that was downstairs.


"You want to come here at night?" asked a perverted voice, it seemed like this person was approaching someone who had come on the second floor.


"Sorry, but I have to put something upstairs." said the interlocutor.


"What are you doing that for?" ask the simple voice. This, kiyai's voice, right? But, with whom?? His voice also felt familiar. Ever heard of it somewhere, but. where?


"Oh, sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm now the new OB at this school. I'm going around the school to do an introduction, and you're going to clean up the last room up there" he replied.


"Anciently, what are you doing"


"Saturday!!" I immediately hissed, cutting off Tamusong's speech, as his voice dissipated concentration only.


"new BOB? So, you came for your job?" kiyai asked, her voice sounding heavy, but I felt that she had just suppressed the force. Power that comes out of nowhere.


"Yes, that's how it is. Are you a guard at this school?" the other person threw a question.


"That's not something to ask and answer. Because it's obvious, any outsider would have walked into the school if not the guard."


The other person laughed. "Oh, so is that it? That means your question does apply absolutely to me. Because I'm not someone who's supposed to go into this area?" tanyanya.


"Yes. And as a new employee, I want to say one thing that is a taboo in this school. Whether you're an OB, a principal, or even a school owner. You, will not be allowed to set foot in this school at night, without my permission."


"Waah wow.. You're serious about your statement. Are you so influential, that even the school's owner has to bow to what you say?" he sounds underestimated.


"I didn't ask them to submit, but they trusted my family for generations. And this taboo has been around for a long time. I'm not pretentious, I'm just trying to keep you away from the bad stuff. I don't want to waste my energy protecting those who dispute abstinence. So you better just follow. You can't come to school at night anymore, this is the first and last." kiyai's voice sounded so serious.


"Why? I just want to go to the third floor, to the very end of the room. That's all." He still beats kiyai.


Kiyai's voice disappeared, either because of laziness to argue or because of annoyance. "Ehem, again I remind you, I don't allow anyone to go to school at night. And there's one place that's a tough ban for you and anyone."


"If the very end of the room, it is the most forbidden place and I will not allow anyone to enter. It was locked with a chain, and the window was closed with wood" he said.


"Why? Why is it banned? What reasons? Protecting what you mean? Ooh.." He was really ngeyel, like someone annoying, who had lived one roof with us. And I hate the style of the slenge. "You forbid people from entering, because you believe in a fictional story, that place, haunted?" the canal.


Kiyai just fell silent, did not answer and did not respond directly to his words.


"Hahaha, listen to me.. I'm telling you, the pretentious school guard. I, never believed in a ghost."


"The ghosts, they're just imaginary stories, and they never were."


I grinned at her words. My hand suddenly shook, as if challenged to show my form before him. "Censure? Kihihih. Dare to have that mouth!"
