SAWMILL
162. INGGRID'S TOMB

“Kata according to the story of oma Inggrid, used to be here only forest.

“Because the awesomeness is then used by the natives to scare the nakuti invaders, as a result there are no colonizers who dare to enter this forest, because of the issue anyone who enters, then will not be able to come out again”

“With the issue of haunted and no colonial nation dare to enter here, and this situation is used by the Indonesian people as a place to hide and plot to attack the invading nation”

“But the name of the colonial nation will not believe just like that with folklore, then in a post here”

“Dutch spies... because at that time the Dutch were still in power, finally desperate to make a guard post here, they also made a path to enter the middle of this forest”.

“Finally become a building or guard post here, and it is true, many Indigenous people who were caught in this forest and eventually killed also here”

“Then his body was thrown into the river behind it”

“Please remember, in ancient times, this river is wide, clean and deep. But right behind this house there is a kind of mound of land that is located a bit off the middle, and around the mound of land it is not too deep”

“Year after year Japan finally took over Indonesia.. This post is empty no one is here”

“The appearance of a cruel and murderous Japan, and the corpse of the murder was thrown into this river through the bridge that was there it”

“And many bodies stuck in the mound of the earth it”

“Sik briefly Nggrid... You and your family why is it safe here, and at that time why can you have a luxury home like this?”

“Hehe.. The Inggrid family comes from China, the great-grandfather of Ingrid immigrants from China during the Dutch colonial era”

“Because the Ingrid family is from China, and the Ingrid family finally has no problem with the Dutch colonists”

“The Inggrid family came here to trade, and over time the Inggrid family had a position in the government and had controlled several areas of land around here before all the Dutch seized again”

“Well at the time of the Japanese occupation, many bodies were stuck in the mound of land it”

“Until there are some natives who took the initiative to retrieve and bury the bodies killed by the Japanese and dumped into this river”

“There are also corpses that the Japanese hung on the iron bridge, which is useful to scare the native nakuti not to pass the bridge it”

“The disposal of this corpse ended after the independence of Indonesia, then the Ingrid family built this post into a home stay”

“But the time when the PKI dumped the corpse appeared again... due to the emergence of bodies that stuck in the mound of land, finally the house that had been inhabited by the Inggrid family was empty again, until the PKI was crushed”

“At that time Papa Inggrid was quite rich, because we our family continued what Inggrid great-great-grandfather did, namely trade”

“At that time we had a car, and we lived in the city next door, besides Papa Inggrid also bought a house in a cold mountainous area, and there was oma Inggrid also”

“This house is a resting house when the Inggrid family wants to relax and enjoy nature without any electricity, tv and radio”

“The Inggrid family has lived here several times, but it is safe.. until then the Inggrid family disappeared not at all”.

“And after that you also experienced a terrible incident with your driver?” ask me about Agus

“Iya mas” replied Ingrid

I was confused by what Inggrid told me, I was not confused by the story of Ingrid, but I was confused where to start?

Because what Inggrid experienced was thirty years, while the traces were no longer visible.

It could even be that the people who intersected with this matter were already on death all.

“Nggrid that you told me it all happened decades ago, while Tina and Mas Agus lived in a year away from the events that resulted in your family lost”

“Which Tina wants to ask.. We have to start where Nggrid is, because surely the people around you are dead. Even if there was, they would have been very old heheheh”

“If the matter Inggrid also do not know how, because Inggrid know the family of the driver Inggrid is still in this village, because the driver was from this village”

“What driver is still alive Nggrid?” ask me about Agus

“Inggrid did not know mas, because so far Ingrid never went from this house” replied Ingrid

“You cannot find the spirit of the driver Nggrid.. You are a ghost” asked mas Agus again.

“Have Ingrid find mas.. Who knows he died then directly to his nature, not this kind of drift Inggrid, but certainly Inggrid think the person is still alive mas”

“Iya... could also the driver was still alive mas.. Eh Nggrid whose name the driver is, maybe Tina can ask pak lurah or village officials lainya”

“Name sir War.. Wardiono”ans Ingrid

“OK Nggrid, if it is safe, Tina will go to the village office to ask around”

“That's later Tina.. it's good for you to go across the river only, because there is very beautiful view”.

“There is indeed what is Nggrid, which is only a bush?” ask me about Agus

“Both you two try to get there, there is something beautiful that you should see there”

“Ya already, we will be there now Ingrid” said mas Agus

“But please give us back first Nggrid, don't make us dream like this first”

“Ok Tina.. will Ingrid give you back from this dream”

After Inggrid said that, then I woke up from a dream…

Agus and I were sitting next to each other under a shady banyan tree.. Next to me was Inggrid in the form of a shadow.

Inggrid looked at me with a smile, then he stood up and took us on a walk to the bridge that connects the sawmills with the village next door.

Without saying much, Agus and I followed where Inggrid led us both.

After that we turn to the right, because if we turn left then we will go to the village where the people live Solikin and WIto.

“Mas.. try to see there, the motor pack Padang borrowed that day is still there or not?”

“Try me to see it first mbak.. Uh mbak Tina here first, let me see the motor in the bush”

I waited for the mas Agus who now went into a thick bush, after a long time he was in the bush.

“There is still mbak hehehe, and look what I found this” said mas Agus while showing off a small key to me

“That's the key of the mas motor?”

“Iya mbak Tina, I found not far from the position of the motor was lying mbak”

“Ya sudh mas, just saved the key first, later we report to Pak Pangat only first mas”

Agus and I walked a little quickly to catch up with Inggrid, who was far away from both of us. Ingrid is already on top of a thicket that is the same as the bushes where the Pak Pangat motor is hidden.

“Both of you from where the hell..How long have you two been walking?”

“Heheheheh we wanted to see the motor Pak Pantang Nggrid, the motor used that day”

“Temple... motor that no one will take, the villagers will not dare to take something that does not belong to him, let's quickly come here, the villagers will not dare to take anything that does not belong to him, someone wants Inggrid to show you both”

Agus and I walked quickly to a lush bush, Inggrid was floating next to the bush.

Once we were in front of the bush that Inggrid was heading to, I turned to look at the sawmill.

It turned out that this shrub was the place that Inggrid had pointed to when I and Agus were sitting under the banyan tree.

This place is what the beautiful Ingrid said, and maybe the place that is said to be beautiful is located in the bush.

“Let's go into that bush” said Ingrid

At first I hesitated, for the thicket also had sharp thorns.. I don't want to just because to see a beautiful place, my skin and clothes are torn because of the thorns of the bush.

And it looks like Agus knows that I hesitate to go in there.. He smiled as he approached me.

“Wait for ya mbak Tina, I will open this bush so that mbak Tina can enter there”

“Iya mas, Tina is afraid that Tina's skin and clothes are scratched”

Mas Agus then entered into the thicket in front of him, using his hands and a rather large tree branch, mas Agus exposed and marginalized the bush.

Several times mas Agus hit the thicket in front of him until the bush ducked, and then he stepped on it.

Not long ago, a path was formed that I could pass through to the middle of the bush.

“Ayo mbak Tina. this bush we can already go through kok” said mas Agus who was in the middle of the thicket that he had made the path

“Iya mas..”

I walked into this bush…

It turns out that this bush is not so long.. Maybe only five meters away, we were already in a meadow

And not far from where I and mas Agus stand, there is a building made of cement, uh not banguan exactly.

A large and spacious Chinese tomb made of cement and ceramics, there is also a decoration, decoration with beautiful mandarin characters with faded red and yellow ink.

The shape of the Chinese tomb is half a circle. The tomb was dirty with many leaves of shrubs, stones and sand.

“That's what's Nggrid?” tanya mas Agus while pointing to the mandarin script written on the wall of tomb”

“The one on the left itself is the name Inggrid mas…. FEN FANG ONG.. While Ong is a family surname Inggrid”

“While the middle to the right are just proverbial words that mean, Learn not to blame others, learn to respect others more, because we need others."

“This is the grave of Ingrid hehehe.. What do you think, beautiful kan” said Inggrid who sat on his grave

“Iya. but more beautiful if cleaned Nggrid” said mas Agus

“Iya.. But since this house is not occupied by the Inggrid family, there is no more cleaning this house mas”

“Ya already we will clean Nggrid, just relax you, uh gini only, we will take a broom and some equipment from the sawmill house first just” said mas Agus again

Agus and I returned to the sawmill house, we entered the inside of the house by passing the secret door that was near the banyan tree.

There was about an hour that Agus and I cleaned the tomb of the Inggrid, and fortunately the sun was not too hot at this time, because there were clouds that blocked the sun.

It turns out that after cleaning, this tomb is good and beautiful as well.It is true said Ingrid if there is a beautiful here, it is, and it turns out that the beautiful is the resting house of Inggrid's body which was found in a state of hanging in the bathroom.

But there is something strange about the state of this tomb, next to the tomb like there is a door made of iron and there is a kind of handle that might be rotated to open the door.

And also the door was locked with a padlock…. This padlock is old-fashioned and rusty.

But there was something that made me interested in the padlock, because around the padlock there was a kind of red paper that had not faded at all, and there was the mandarin writing as well.

I don't know what this paper is from, because it's still red with black writing all over the paper.

So I accidentally swept the scattered leaves, and when I swept the leaves and branches of the bush, accidentally the soil and pebbles that were beside the tomb were also swept away.

When the sand and gravel was swept away, I found a kind of door made of iron, and surely under the door there was some kind of room.

Ah cook anyway it's the door to the coffin containing the body Inggrid hehehe. Usually there is a door in a room its function is to media out the entry and entry of something.

“Mas... have finished yet?”

“Undah mbak Tina... What is it?”

“Try here mas.. eh Nggrid you are here also dong”

*****

“Waduh this is what Tina, so far Ingrid did not know there is a door next to this tomb”

“Ah cook you do not know Nggrid, this is your tomb, and you must be here every day right?”

“No, Ingrid is rarely here, if it is here at least just go inside to see Inggrid bones only”

“Continue it Nggrid.. There's a paper that says mandarin, what's the point of Nggrid?”

“This is a kind of seal paper with a spell that Ingrid does not understand. Anyway with the paper seal is expected no one enters here, because if reckless to enter here, then there will be a terrible curse”

“And the curse applies to humans and supernatural in addition to the Ong family who recklessly enter here”

“But do the seals and curses apply to you Inggrid?” ask me about Agus

“For Ingrid it seems not mas”

“Try you enter there Nggrid, who knows the purpose of the door is only to your coffin place” said mas Agus

“Iya.. will Ingrid try first...”.

Inggrid went into a kind of round-shaped door that had rusted due to age, I wonder also where the door was headed.

But I also did not dare to open that door, because there was a seal that said about the curse for anyone who tried to get in there.
