Pocong Around
Her friend's man's aunt

As I walked, I was amazed to see the scene in front of me. Until in the end my steps stopped because he said we have arrived.

Again I was amazed when I saw the building in front of me, this is not the hut name but almost like a villa, how not this building was built two floors even though the size is not as big as a villa.

I didn't say a word when my feet started to step in my friends' footsteps, because some subtle creatures caught my sense of sight made my hair stand up.

I also walked half-down, so I was surprised because from behind I felt a clap on my shoulder.

"do not duck, will not be humming" said Ovan

I just responded with a small smile and walked back.

Until we arrived at the back of the villa they called this hut.

"ok, we're just starting to prepare" said Sarah

"La, the fish will be cleaned yes, so just stay on the seasoning, let me spice it up, you take care of the rice" said Sarah again

"his rice diapain ?" ask me plain

"yes in washing and then on the seasoning also "said Sarah

"can't you ?" azzam asked, I nodded in shame

"yes let me teach you "Azzam took me while reaching for the cookware whether it was his name, I don't know

While I brought the rice

"i cut off the jengkol and tempeh, you ready the firewood" said Mila who I can still hear from the bathroom,ah whether this is the name of the bathroom or not because it is located outside without a roof cover, only the right and front left sides are blocked by bamboo, the height is only limited to the waist , ' he said , don't be too happy to take a shower here, hehe....

After I washed the rice, Azzam taught me how to season the rice, there were some spices he put in, among them garlic, red pepper, salam leaves, often, ground nuts, salt, and a little micin, among others,not forgetting to add a little vegetable oil.

When the embers of the fire are ready, the rice that has been seasoned was placed on top of it.

While waiting for the rice to ripen, I noticed my other friends who were cooking the side dishes. Sarah makes sambal, Mila fries tempeh and jengkol while Ovan is busy burning fish while occasionally checking the rice liwet so as not to burn.

Honestly, I'm very much insecure, because like him I can't do anything. I sighed then took a sitting position next to Mila who was frying tempe in the furnace.

The smoke billowed and made my eyes poignant, just as my tears came out accompanied by snot that joined the atmosphere.

"it's been mending you just help Ovan readyain banana leaves, love your tears in the free "kidding Mila on me

"what are bananas for?" ask me not to know

"make rice liwet and its side dishes when it is cooked "pale Deni sauce chiming

"oh.." I said, even though I didn't understand what he meant

"eh Azzam where ?" ask me when I don't find him with us

"yes yes, where the children "said Deni also dyed

"you look for it, you do nothing" Sarah ordered

"well, "my mouth says, don't want me to move, because silence is free there is nothing I can do to help

"but don't go far La, no stray "excited Mila as I was about to move on

"well, I think it's far away, where I yelled earlier" he said.

I just grinned the horse, then moved.

After being in the front I dizzy looking for Azzam, until my gaze stopped on the tall towering coconut tree, I saw someone standing blocked by the coconut tree.

I then walked towards him, judging from the color of his clothes I believe he is Azzam.

"what was he doing there ?" thought I

Getting closer until I was right behind him, I gasped when I saw in front of Azzam a pocong figure was rolling around with a groan.

"ammpuuunn...heat ...stop ...." she groaned.

And that pocong is Poling

"Azzam what are you doing?" asked me to make her squeak surprised, Azzam then turned his head

"why are you here ?" he asked back

"what are you doing here?" ask me again

"ok, since you're here now, I'll talk about this matter to you" he said

"what problem?" ask me

"it's up to you to believe it or not, but for sure you should always be careful because she always follows you "her speech makes my forehead wrinkle deeply

"what do you mean, who follows me?" ask me again

"pocong "answered his short, my eyebrows raised next door and said

"oh...so really you can see it ?" ask me

"can or not it does not matter, the most important thing now you have to be in ruqiyah so that the pocong does not continue to follow you" said Azzam looked serious

But then I laughed and confused her

"hahahaha...aduh Azzam..do not be too serious that ah, gini ya pocong was not without purpose, he wanted to ask me for help to uncover death also found his corpse, and his body was not without purpose,but the problem is that he himself forgot who he was and how he died he did not remember at all" said I made his gawking

"so .... you ..." Azzam's speech stopped when Poling interrupted

"yes, even though you can also see me, but do not want to nolongin, every appear always bacain verse chair, hot know "his complaint

"do you want to help this pocong ?" azzam looked at me inside

"yes what more, than I was followed for the rest of my life" I said

"then how ?"

"i don't know "my words while raising my shoulders

Azzam was silent as well as I was, maybe we were both thinking about how to help the ghost roll.

At that moment, Ovan's voice called both of us, so we immediately approached him.

Apparently the rice liwet and side dishes are ripe, we immediately eat it with rice and side dishes that are placed evenly on the banana leaves that have not been separated from the branches.

We all ate so greedily that we did not leave even a little, until the day went so fast, after finishing cleaning up our food, the six of us immediately went to go home, he said,because it's already in zhuhur's time.

We did not go back down the same path, for others were afraid to return to the bamboo forest, including me.

The road is quite far too, because we have to pass through pematang rice fields and some fields of residents who are planted with red chili, tomatoes, and green mustard.

Right after we got to the end of the road the sound of Iandang adzan was heard, we also stopped for a moment waiting for the chanting of his adhan to stop.

After a while we were silent, we finally went back on our way, until we were in the residential area, and I just found out that the way was through to the mosque where me and the children were learning to teach.

"oh yes La, do not forget later in the afternoon I wait in the mosque "say Azzam before he turns into an alley that will connect him to his house, I myself do not know where his house, Azzam,just know the gang

"oh.ok "my sahut is short.

"i am first " said Azzam

"ehm.ok "other.

"what do you want in the afternoon at Mushola?" asked Ovan when we walked back

"want to learn naji "my sahut if there is any

"can't you pay?" ask Mila

"if I can learn where I can, "my words again

"oh yeah yeah.." her grin

Until I finally got to the front of the house, I also say goodbye to my friends.

Behind me Poling stays faithful jumping. From inside the house, a man came out with an aunt behind him.

While wearing the shoes of the man as well as the aunt was seen chatting but did not know what they were talking about.

I stopped for a moment and looked back at Poling. The pocong stood looking at her tense face, as if she were afraid of something, I followed her gaze, and it seemed that her gaze was directed at her guest aunt's man.

Want me to ask her, but aunt's voice shifted my gaze.

"loh...La...have come home ?" ask her

"eh yes bi "so I said then walked over, I gave a glimpse of the man who had finished wearing his shoes and the man stood up

"who is this ?" ask her to me

"my niece, Ferdy's boy I told you about" said aunt, aunt told me about me ' thought me

"alah.sah big yes now, when last met was a very small yes, not surprisingly big it can be as beautiful as this "his words by tucking praise for me. - yes.

"ah..om could have been, so embarrassed" I said.

"hehe..if only om has a nephew or son om will match you "said him again.

I just responded with a clumsy smile.

"hey..kuh what the hell my nephew is still a student, let him learn the right do not be strange" exclaimed aunt.

"hehehehe.. his abis your nephew is very beautiful, if only I was the same age as her or at least not this old would have me deketin "his grin

I don't know if I should be happy or how to hear his words, during this time I have often received such praise, but for this time I feel unhappy, whatever the reason.

"sorry, if that's what I'm sorry for in "say I want to avoid this aunt's friend

"oh yes please ,om also want to leave home, Ning I go home yes, sometime I come again "his word

The man left, but I frowned when I saw the expression of the aunt who had been bright suddenly as cloudy as black clouds.

"what's wrong with aunt?" I murmured in my heart

But suddenly I was made to gasp when I heard Poling screaming hysterically, I turned my head and found the pocong was tugging at his pocong bond with both hands that had come out.

"aaaaakkkkhhh........."

I wanted to run towards her and ask her what happened to her but I paused because aunt would feel weird about what I was doing.

Until finally I could only be silent waiting for the pocong to calm down.

"he said to go inside, why silence ?"

"uh.i.ii bi..."
