Angker Village
My Brother's Dream

I was shocked to see Idar yelling in bed with his eyes closed.

"Idar, Idar wakes up." said my father trying to wake my sister. I remember what my grandmother said. If anyone is dreaming and screaming, get a pillow and hit. That way, we can wake him up.

I tried to grab a pillow and hit my sister slowly. How dare I hit hard in front of my father, I may have the rage of hell here.

Idar opened his eyes slowly making my father feel relieved. My father hugged my newly awakened sister.

"You're why son, cry and scream. Is there something that scares you?" Ask my father who hugged Idar.

"Sister Luis well," said my brother stammering.

My father looked straight at me, I just raised my shoulders clueless. I didn't do anything.

"Tell me what Luis did to you. Let me beat him up" said my father who pressed his voice.

I'm getting nervous, this is the fate of my brother. The ones in martial are only sisters.

"I didn't do anything. I saw myself, I was only in the living room with my father" I said in self-defense.

"Yes, brother Luis turned into a ghost" said Idar who looked at me.

"Don't just talk to you, I'm still living Idar. Where does a human become a ghost?" I said the upset one. I don't accept ghosts.

"Is it because of that, you're screaming hysterically?" ask dad.

"Yes well, brother Luis wants to make me fall just like him. He came to Rian's house and did a treat with Ratna's mom" explained Idar who was calm.

"Rian's house?"

"Is this a clue?" ask my father while glancing at me.

"Where might Rian's family be doing the prank." I said I don't believe.

"But Luis, it could be. All this time, our village has been fine, but since Rian's family everything has changed." Father said.

"Is it true?" my question is in my heart.

...****************...

Morning has come to greet the inhabitants of the world. I was sitting in front of the terrace, watching Rian's house. Is it true, Rian's family is doing the job.

"But for what?" I ask who keeps thinking about it.

A car stopped in front of Rian's house. Not long after, Rain came out from inside the house looking like she just woke up.

I kept watching, until Rian was seen in the boopoh out of his car. I'm so happy to see Rian. Rian uses a wheelchair. I was confused, the feeling he wasn't paralyzed or his leg was hurt.

"Well, dad..." I screamed on the porch. I saw Rian being brought into his house. His parents and sister followed him.

"What's the matter Luis?" yelled my father inside.

I went in and told my dad.

"Rian is back,"

"Thankfully, the operation went well" said my father, who was sitting down drinking his tea in front of the tivi.

"Operation?" ask me in wonder.

"Dad forgot to tell you, it turns out Rian also suffered from terminal lung cancer" said my father who made me very surprised.

Rian all this time, always looks cheerful and cheap smile turned out to deviate a deadly disease.

"That's why, in always following her mother moved here. While Rain, stay in town continuing his studies." continued my father.

"Why is he here?"

"In the village there is a lot of fresh air. Could help the process of healing Rian's lungs. Unlike the city, which rarely has trees. Only pollution is everywhere" my father explained.

"Pity Rian. All this time, she had never told me about her illness," I said who pondered and imagined Rian's ever-smiling expression.

"Dad was also shocked when he found out. If you know, I dare not take Rian to the opposite village. The doctor said he should not do hard and hard work. But instead of driving my father to the opposite village by riding a motorbike," said my father who let out a long sigh.

"Bas stupid, why doesn't he refuse" I said in annoyance. He knows what his illness is. You should not obey all the commands of others.

"Luisne...Luis..." I heard someone screaming in front of the house.

"You guys coming?" I asked, when I saw all my friends gathered in my house.

"Tumben came along,"

"There is important news Luis" Rahmat replied.

"Sit down first new story." I said let them all.

Ana, Fani, Dion, and Grace sat in my living room. My sister came to serve tea. Tumben once he is diligent, usually only in the room. Idar sat near me.

"Luis, did I hear you guys were on an adventure yesterday at Marni's house?" ask Grace to begin.

"Yes, there's Dion and Fani too" I replied.

"Why don't you call us, Lus" asked Ana.

"I'm sorry, I forgot yesterday. Fani and Dion suddenly asked me to be a judge at that time. They're coming to pick me up, and I just don't want to come,"

"But Dion and Fani said, you asked Luis?" ask Grace.

"True, he said you wouldn't take us even though Dion and Fani told you." Said Ana.

I looked towards Dion and Fani. They both turned their faces the other way. Dion just kept quiet from earlier, usually he who immediately spoke first.

"Don't believe them, I'm right" I said.

Grace and Ana look towards Dion and Fani. Dion hurriedly drank the tea that my sister had prepared.

"Sir Dion, still hot," cried Idar, but Dion continued to gulp.

"Hottest, huhuff," said Dion who pulled out his tongue.

"Karma Dion, who told you to lie" said Grace.

The three of us laughed, while Dion and Fani just pointed.

"I had a dream yesterday too. I saw Brother Luis turn into a ghost" Idar said.

"Luis is a ghost? could anyway?" asked Dion who looked at me briefly.

"If you look around, Luis' face is similar to a ghost. It's only natural that you're afraid of your sister" Ana replied.

"Hey, the guy's still here. Don't gossip" I said pointing to myself.

"Sorry Luis, you're invisible" Ana said.

"Law is invisible, you are too thin" said Grace.

"It's good to be skinny, not in a ghost. There are only bones and sins left" I said jokingly.

"Truely, different from Ana who contained. Ghosts can look at him, a lot of his flesh," said Grace with a laugh. Ana instantly shut the mouth of grace with her hand.

"We'll talk about Marni's ghost. Dion said Marni's ghost asked for your help?" Said Ana.

The atmosphere turned tense, as Ana mentioned Marni's name. No one dared to joke anymore.

"True, he said it was made into a mash," I said.

"So, you mean that Luis someone made Marni tumbal?" ask Idar who is near me.

"Can be. I don't get it. Then, if he's already turned into a ghost, where's Marni's body?" ask me to the others.

"Containing mystery and onions" Dion said.

"We have to find Marni's body before we know what really happened to her." Ana said half a whisper.

I feel like someone is watching me from a distance. But I kept quiet without telling my friends what I saw. I don't want to make them more afraid.

Suddenly someone threw a stone and saw a shadow figure passing in front of my house.

"Who's passing by?" ask Ana.

"Who threw the stone?" ask Fani.
