Angker Village
Grandma Ana


In the morning, my family was enjoying a warm tea in the living room. I started telling my father.


"Well, I've only got three days left. Can I save myself?" I asked, who hesitated.


"Dad sure, Luis. You can do it." Said my father, with a sweet smile even though his little heart cried out to my complaint.


Dreet...Dreet...Dreet...


My father's phone rang, he quickly picked it up and picked it up. My dad put his phone in his ear.


"Hello, uztadz Reyhan?" Answer father.


"What?" Shouted my father, after hearing the words uztadz Reyhan. My father looked hard at me. Me and Idar were confused.


"No way, Uztadz. Luis got a black spirit protector from where?" Said my father, who again heard seriously.


"Black spirit?" My cave is in my heart.


"What is this, something to do with Ratna's mother's spirit?" I kept thinking, while waiting for my father's talk.


"So, Mr. Uztadz Reyhan. What am I supposed to do?" Ask my father, with a confused face.


"Okay, I'll tell Luis first." My dad said, hang up.


I was ready to hear my father's question. I'm pretty sure there's something important that uztadz Reyhan told me.


"What's up, dad?" Ask Idar.


"Luis, are you really using an evil spirit to protect yourself?" Ask my father, who noticed my face.


"Bad spirits? What do you mean, father?" I asked, I was still confused and did not understand.


"Uztadz Reyhan told me, you said you were wearing an evil spirit as a protector. The aura in your body, cannot be penetrated by uztadz Reyhan." Obviously father.


Secretly, my father didn't stop looking for me medicine to get well. After returning home from the shaman, not getting anything, my father again contacted uztadz Reyhan to help me.


"Dad, I don't wear any protection. Including evil spirits, I don't understand why uztadz Reyhan said that." My answer.


"Yes, yeah. Where's brother Luis from, got like that." Idar Response.


My father began to shut up and contemplate, he was very sure if I did not do as alleged by Reyhan uztadz. However, my father was also very sure if uztadz Reyhan could not be wrong.


I started thinking, the necklace Rian gave me meant uztadz Reyhan. In a hurry, I brushed it off.


"No way, I don't think Rian would do that. Why would he ask the evil spirit to protect him?" My cave is in my heart.


"Well, I'm going to go into the room first." I said, nodding back by my father.


When I stepped, my neighbor Ani's mother came running to my house. I stopped and waited for him. Ani's mother's face flushed red, sweat pouring down her forehead. His breathing sounds irregular.


"Mom, you're out of morning sports?" I asked, who was standing at the door.


"Aa..your father has lu..luis?" Ask Ani's mother with heavy breathing.


"So, sit down for tea." I replied, pointing my father at the side.


Ani's mother went straight in, without excuse. Sitting near my father, trying to tell me something.


"Speak what the hell, ma'am. Only the sound of Ani's mother's breath was heard" said Idar.


"Nurse, emergency." Said Ani's mother, who did not clarify her words.


"Why is Ani's mother? Talk no piece, just make it more curious." Said my father.


I stepped back onto the sofa, sitting near Ani's mother. Waiting for him to continue his words.


"Anna's grandmother, Ana's grandmother." said Ani's mother who could only point.


"Grandmother Ana.... Grandma Ana...."


My phone rang immediately, I hurriedly picked it up.


"Hello, Grace?" My answer.


"Let's Luis. Grandma Ana, Luis." Greetings from across the phone.


"Ih, you again. Earlier, Ani's mother said it was bad too."


"It's really Luis. That, Ana's grandmother died." Say Grace for a moment.


I stared at it, my father and Idar looked at me in wonder.


"Serious Grace? No kidding. Not funny" I said in disbelief.


My heart seemed to want to jump, fear and panic began to come. I'm not sure I just met Ana's grandmother yesterday. He still wants to call me to drink the potion.


"Bye, luis. You don't believe me, especially me. Ana's grandmother really died, Real. I swear, I'm not lying." Answer Grace.


I dropped my phone, making my father and Idar even more astonished. My body feels weak to hear the news.


"Luis, what's wrong?" Ask dad.


"Yes, brother Luis. What does Grace say?" Asked Idar who looked at me in surprise.


"Grandpa tamrin. Ana's grandmother, died." Said Ani's mother, who said it first.


"Innalillahi wainnailaihi Rajiun." Answer my father and Idar at the same time. They all shut their mouths, shocked to hear the news.


"We have to go there now." Said my father, who stood up and left.


After my grandmother died, only Ana's grandmother was considered a parent in my family. He has always been faithful to help and find solutions for my family. And now, a bitter reality came crashing down. Grandma Ana chose to come with my grandmother.


*****


Rian was sitting, pensive in his room. After taking off her protective necklace, she couldn't sleep last night. Nightmares always come when she closes her eyes.


A little child, the cry of a baby, mothers, even grandmothers, all come in Rian's dream. In the past, it was just his voice that Rian heard, but last night Rian even saw their form.


"I'm sorry, I." Said Rian, who had said it a thousand times.


Mama Rian opened the door to her son's room. He thrust out a necklace that was exactly the same as Luis. Rian looked up, looking at the gaze of his mother who told him to take it.


"Ma, why did you take Luis' necklace?"


"Rian gave it to Luis, Ma. Luis can't take it off after wearing it, he'll know who our family really is." Rian said, not accepting.


"Just calm down, mama's not gonna let Luis know our family's biggest secret."


"But, Mama's already taken Luis' necklace. Of course, in a minute night Luis will know. Everyone you've taken, will come to Luis' dream." Shouted Rian, furious.


"Rian! Enough's enough!!. You don't have to care about Luis anymore. Wear this necklace, so you can sleep well." Said Rian's mother, who gave Rian a black necklace.


"This is new, Ma? Where did your mom get it?" Rian asked, in a slow voice. The black necklace she was holding, was not as big as the one Rian had before. Rian could see, the bloodstains on the necklace that his mother gave him.


"Mama can be a more powerful person than ever. He can take care of you, from the screams, the cries of those fools. And most importantly, you don't have nightmares that disturb your sleep." Obviously Rian's mama, before coming out of Rian's room.


Rian held the black necklace given by his mother. Her tears fell, and again there was another fall.


"Why is my fate like this? I don't want to continue feeling guilty about everyone. I pity ma, pa. I feel sorry to see them crying in front of me." Rian's cry broke. Rian continued to cry by holding both of his legs.


Outside Rian's room, someone was clenching his hands violently. His face reddened, restraining the anger that enveloped him. Rian's cry, managed to make his heart erode, but he couldn't do anything at the moment.


"Wait for the right time, I'll help you." The gum is in the heart.
