51. BURHAN'S STORY
I pushed the living room door open and it was quiet, like no one was here.
I started to step inside, the first thing I did was to go inside my room.
I opened the door, and it turned out that my room was empty, the oil lamp that was stuck on the wall was dead.
I deliberately stepped slowly so as not to be heard by Burhan who was most likely sleeping.
I stepped towards Burhan's room which was closed.
Knock the door to Burhan's room a few times…
“Mas Burhan.
But there was no reason at all. I forced myself to open Burhan's room to ascertain whether there was Burhan in the room or not.
Or maybe he's in the river behind to defecate like he was last night.
Burhan's room door handle I pressed, and I pushed the door a little..
The room was dark, there was no light from the window or from the lamp.
Burhan's room and mine are different, if my room's window grille isn't closed so the morning sun can come inside.
But Burhan's room was not, the lattice of his room was covered with cement paper, so it was dark enough that the window was not opened.
“Mas Burhan... mas Burhan.. wake up mas” I said in a voice that is not loud.
There was no answer at all from within the quiet, dark silent room like an uninhabited room alone.
I'd better open wider so I can see what's in that room.
The door to my room was pushed in, the smell of sweat and damp coming straight out of the room, because of the dark state of the room, I could not see what was inside.
I opened it wider and went into the room….
The figure of the body was curled up in the corner of the room visible….
Mas Burhan....!”.
Before I approached Burhan's body, curled up in the corner of the room, I first picked up the Petromak lamp in the living room.
Burhan's body curled up sitting in the corner of the room his face facing the wall..
Mas Burhan..!”.
He still didn't react when I called. Most likely he was sleeping or unconscious.
But I did not dare to hold his body, I was afraid that he was unconscious or that he was in a terrible state of death.
Petromak lights I put on the floor, then slowly land I approached Burhan who curled up in the corner of the room.
I approached Burhan, I squatted behind his body….
I dared to touch her because I had to know how Burhan was doing for now.
“Mas Burhan...mas!” he had not reacted, nor had he fainted, but I knew he was in a state of great fear….
“Mas, I'm Agus. What happened in this house mas” I shook his shoulder so he knew that I wasn't a ghost
“PERGIII…. DO NOT DISTURB MEAAA, I ONLY WANT TO WORK HEREIIII!!!!!” burhan shouted who was still looking at the wall
“Heh mas..ini I Agus” shouted as I hit his hand.
“IMPOSSIBLE…. MR AGUS IS DEAD!.....
"Nobody's dead! I'm still alive!"
I started to get emotional with Burhan's behavior, but there was no point in having emotions with people who were scared, because what was in his head was something unreal.
“Mas..i am not dead, this is me Agus... let's tell you what really happened and why no worker came mas” while I shook his shoulder.
Slowly Burhan turned towards me..
O God, her face was pale and trembling, it seemed like last night she had a truly frightening event.
Partial dried sweat soaked his pale, trembling face.
“Awhile, I'll get you a drink first mas”
He just nodded weakly with my eyes and hands that were still trembling.
It turns out that in the kitchen there is only a little drinking water in the cooking kettle, but ndak papa, at least can to calm Burhan.
But when I was in the kitchen, there was something weird around here…
Why the floor of this house is dirty, there are dirt and clay lacerations that are rather hard in some places.
Near the bathroom and near the door that leads to the back, besides that I also felt something smell.
“The smell in this house is a bit strange, like what smell yes.... I seem to be familiar with this smell...”.
“Jangkreeek.... this is the smell of incense sticks to the walls and furniture of the house!” muttered
As soon as I had my fur goosebumps, I felt that something had happened here.
It turns out that the bathroom floor is a little wet and dirty.
“Why is there soil and clay container here?”
I can't think at all, is the ground in the bathroom and the one in the kitchen and near the back door Burhan?
I was silent for a moment in front of the bathroom to process what I was thinking earlier, but until now my otaku has not been able to digest what is going on here.
“Ayo mas Burhan... drink first, let's not calm”.
that glass of water he spent with a flash, it seems he had not been drinking all day.
“Let's just sit in front and say what last night mas Burhan natural?”
Burhan could only nod with a face that was still pale, he did not move from where he was sitting.
Better not to go to the living room…
I stood up and opened the window so that the fresh air could enter the room
The sunlight went straight in and made Burhan's room bright. Petromak lights immediately I turned off.
“See that mas.... already morning right, the sun is on top right mas, let's now just sit in bed and tell me what happened here mas”
Burhan did not stand up, but he tried to stand up, but strangely he did not have the strength to stand up and moved from floor to bed.
I helped him to stand up by raising his arm…
Slowly though difficult land finally I can make him step onto his bed though with a step that stumbled seok.
He sat on the bed cross-legged, then he turned to me.
“P...Pak Ag.agus mas...still alive” he looked at me with a frightened look
“Yes obviously I am still alive mas, I was yesterday told, that I will stay near the hospital so that my strange wounds can be handled by a doctor during the time”
“Now tell me what happened mas, why did it reach Burhan like this”
Burhan was silent and looked at the wall of the room with a blank look…
Silence with a body that is still trembling like this will obviously require a short time.
I remained next to him until he had completely recovered from his fear.
“Mas Burhan, I just cook water first ya”
“J..don't stay me p..pak” says Burhan suddenly”
“Actually what is it, try to explain first to me, what did Burhan mas experience when I was in town?”
“I..iya , I will tell you what I know sir, te...but the rest I do not know, because I fainted”
“Ndak papa mas, the important thing is I know what makes Burhan mas become like this”
Burhan was silent for a moment, maybe he was setting his brain to remember what happened to him.
He was still silent with his eyes looking at the walls of the room.
“Wak.time Pak Agus went with his girlfriend father, nothing happened”
“S..I ate voraciously and then locked the door as Mr. Agus told me....”.
“Te....but.........” Burhan fell silent, he did not continue speaking, he looked at the wall blankly again.
“Let's continue mas, I'm here and there will be nothing else that will happen with Burhan” mas
He then turned to look at me with his eyes still empty..
“After eating I sleepy and asleep, the living room and two room lights also I turn on. anyway according to what Pak Agus told” after speaking he took a deep breath
“I don't know what time, maybe it's morning, because the living room lights are off, except my room oil lamp”
“There was a knock on the turnstile, and a shout that called me, and it was the voice of Mr. Agus...”.
“At first I did not pay attention because I was sure that was outside it was not Mr. Agus, I was already terrified amazing”
“I think that outside it is only the villagers who are playing tricks on me.. Because if the ghost does not need to ask to open the door, he can certainly enter his own”.
“There may be about more than five times call to me to open the turnstile and door home”
Burhan was silent as he adjusted his sudden hunting breath.He seemed to be still traumatized by the incident last night.
“I am so sure who called me it was true mas Agus after I saw it was almost three in the morning, because my mind where there are ghosts that haunt until three in the morning”
“I shouted ..’sewhile, I turned on the light first’... and Mr. Agus also replied yes”
“After the living room petromak light is on, I open the living room door”
“And it turned out to be true, outside the fence there was Mr. Agus and some people dressed in black next to him”
“I can see that it was Mr. Agus because there was a petromak lamp that I brought out”
