SANTRI'S CHOICE
CHAPTER . 21 . THE HORROR OF A BABY GHOST IN A NEW HOME

At night at Danu's house, abi and umi were having a casual conversation .

"Um, abi's best friend offers a house .. its location in an elite complex, the price is quite cheap . How about we see, um ?" ask abi

"By, when to see her,bi " said umi

"Tomorrow yes . take Dania also , um " said abi

"Oke bi" said umi, who immediately approached Dania to her room.

To esokan his morning.. Abi ,umi and Dania are ready. They will see the house offered by abi's best friend.

Upon arriving at location 'd, they were very happy. Because his house is bigger, nicer, and also located in a strategic elite location.

The back yard of his house is wider, just not well maintained . Because it has been almost a year not in habitation .

A few days later, Abi and Umi decided to buy the house without any suspicion, which was also very affordable. With a little renovation of the house it will feel very comfortable and also beautiful, thought Umi.

Month after month passed, Dania and Danu have now gone up to class. Dania to eighth grade while Danu ninth grade. Renovation of the new house has been completed .

Abi, Umi and Dania have not told about their new home to Danu, they agreed that they will give a surprise . Abi and Umi agree that the old house will be given to Dania if Dania later grows up . The old house was not vacated . They will come once a week just clean . While a new house will be given to Danu later.

Danu's family is busy filling her new home with new furniture . Umi designed Danu's room with blue tosca combined with white. While Dania's room, Umi let Dania design it herself. The slightly tomboyish Dania chose the green color of tosca in combination with gray, away from the feminine impression. Her plans next week they'll be occupying her new home .

The day of the move arrived, the Danu family chose Saturday to move. Then in the afternoon they saturahim to the local environmental stewards while introducing themselves. Danu's family also asked neighbors for help to hold a Sunday morning recitation . The atmosphere in the Sunday morning is very cheerful and crowded, the studies attended by local residents and environmental managers.

One week after his move, the Danu family has not felt anything strange. Until one night ,

ooeeekk. ooeeekk.

"Bi, wake up bi. "umi wakes up a sleeping abi.

"Why mi ?"abi asked with his eyes closed

"Abi denger ga tuh . there is the sound of a baby crying "saying umi

Abi immediately opened his eyes and sat on the bed, focusing his hearing

"Abi ga denger what - what mi .. umi dream time "say abi while yawning

"Iiihh abi. umi denger clearly kok . hayuu bi, anter umi forward . We see first, if you know there is a baby naro in front of the house "saying umi while pulling abi's hand

Withstands sleepiness, abi finally accompanies umi to the front porch of the house. Arriving in front of her, abi and Umi daze but do not find anyone.

"No one is bi . no one - who "said umi

"Yes already , let's go in , mi. this is still malem you know " said abi who has evaporated again

Abi and Umi re-enter . But not yet umi pules, he heard the sound of crying baby .

Ooeekk..Oooeekk..Ooeekk..

Umi turned her head towards Abi who had regained her senses, with her final sigh pulling the blanket and trying to close her eyes. Maybe it's just my feeling, inner umi.

The next day, Abi had left for his place of business, Dania had already left for school . Stay alone in the house umi, when it was busy in order - done house, arrived - arrived - suddenly the wind blew a little hard . Making clothes and hair sway umi, Umi stopped for a moment. He swept his gaze to all the rooms, suddenly Umi felt the atmosphere of her house gripping her. Feathers - the fine fur on her hands and on her neck stood up, umi rubbed her slowly while puzzled. Why does it feel strange yes, inner umi .

Arrived - arrived ,

Oeeekk ..Ooeekk.. Oooeekk..

Astagfirullah, said Umi surprised by the sound of a very tight baby. The voice echoed like it came from an empty room. But in this house there is no empty room.

Where yes , muttered umi while looking - find the origin of the baby's voice to every room in her house .

Hha.haa.. hhii.hii .., dug duug..

The sound of children laughing merrily while running - run .

Immediately Umi sharpens her hearing .. Like her from behind the kitchen, inner umi . With a beating heart and heavy steps, Umi walked slowly towards the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen, the voice was gone. Umi checks her kitchen room but finds nothing, all of it from brick walls covered in cement and in white paint. Full of furniture such as kitchen sets and others.

I finally started cooking for lunch. Finished cooking, he continued to clean the house until it was finished.

By the afternoon ,

Hhaha.hi.haihi..

.duug..

The voice was heard again , this time moving .. His voice seemed to come from next to the tv room . Umi was really confused and tired, he was so tense all day hearing the voices of children playing in his house .

Although a little trembling but he tried to approach the tv room next to the family room.

And it turns out .. empty ..

Day changed night .

"Batikk .. Jangaaann.. Jangaaann approach me , please go .. "

"Um , umi. wake up um. umi, istigfar um.." abi wakes up his screaming wife in her sleep.

Umi felt the body in the shake immediately opened her eyes slowly . Sweat drenched his body, his breath stinged - nasal .

"Abii, hhuuhuu.huuhu.." weeping umi.

Abi immediately embraced Umi and calmed her down.

"Umi why .. nightmare yes" said abi softly

Umi could not say - said , he was still horrified to imagine his dream that felt real. Umi just nodded in reply to abi's words.

"Yes already, if so we read the first prayer yuukk" said abi

After praying, Umi and Abi went back to sleep.

"Um, abi it's noon . abi leaving yes, umi ga pa right at home ?" ask abi

Actually umi is still afraid, but she doesn't want to make her husband worry .

"Yeah ga pa -pa, bi .. Hearts on the road yes "say umi not excited

"What's up - what do you tell abi ya , um. Assalamualaikum "said abi then left his wife

Umi was still silently pecking at the courtyard of the house, he hesitated to enter the house.

Then he remembered Danu, his son. Umi also directly contacted abah mobile phone .

"Assalamualaikum bah , how are you ?" ask umi politely

"Waalaikumsalam wr wb "reply back

"Well, I want to ngundang abah and umi . because we just moved house. If abah and Umi ga object "saying umi

"Oohh so, well later you find time to play to your new home" said abah

After a long conversation, Umi also disconnected her phone connection with her brother. Not to forget umi also leave greetings for her children, and ask you to inform them about their new home so that Danu can go directly there when he comes home later.

Now, almost every day Umi hears the sounds of babies and the sounds of children playing, and almost every night Umi also experienced terrible dreams.

The day changed, arriving when his Danu returned to his new home. This time Danu went home with her brother and Umi Kusuma. Because abah and Umi Kusuma want to see the Danu family that has been considered like his own family.

Arriving at the house, Danu feels awkwardness . He also found it strange to see his Umi who was very pale and slightly thin.

"Umi, is umi sick ?" ask Danu

"Aahh hgga kok , umi healthy aja Dan.. Thank you, baby, for paying attention to umi "saying umi while stroking Danu's head

That afternoon while chatting casually while waiting for abi to come home ,

"Um, if abi comes later. Can we all have dinner outside ?"whispered Danu to his umi

"Can, of course you can .. Where do you want to eat, Dan ?" ask umi sumringah

"Ehmm .. Anywhere is up to umi, the important place is comfortable to chat" said Danu

"Alright, later umi convey to your abi yes" said umi with a smile

At night they had dinner at a restaurant in the form of a saung - a saung that floats on a fish pond . With a variety of menus ranging from grilled fish, roasted chicken, stir fry, various lalap, sambal and many more.

After dinner, Danu opened the conversation

"Sorry before her yes bi , umi, abah , umi Kusuma and Dania .. I want to go to my beautiful earth "say Danu while smiling at her mummy

"Duuhh really formal kok my bachelor child, umi so deg - deg an nih " umi goda while smiling too

"I'm sorry before ya umi I love .. I want nanya, what has been bothering umi ? please tell me yes um. mumpung us outside the house " Danu said politely

Umi and the others are surprised by Danu's words, but a moment later they realize that there must be something Danu knows.

"Eehmm.yeah Dan, about a week after moving into the new house umi heard the sound of baby crying . The beginning was just the night, when umi asked abi it turns out that abi did not hear . Then the sound of crying was also heard during the day . Not only the sound of the baby but also the sound of a child playing and joking . And it's almost every day Umi hears her "said umi at length

Danu who heard that also nodded - nodding trying to understand the condition of his umi.

"Did anyone come to Umi ?" ask Danu heart - heart

"Yeah and , but through the dream "saying earth

Abi who was next to Umi also immediately grasped the hands of umi, umi lowered her head for a moment then ,

Pov umi ,

It's where.. I looked around me, oohh it was in my new house. The furniture is different ..

Ooeekk.

The voice .. I also walked straight to her. Her voice came from behind the house, I kept walking .

Once in the backyard, I saw a baby lying on the floor .

Duuh kasian once you, son .. I would love to help her . When I got to 'em, the baby had three heads on one body. With a different face . From far away, it looks normal.

I was surprised and ran away from her, but the baby kept crawling closer to me ..

All three of her faces were very creepy despite her baby voice. Highlight his eyes sharp as if he hated it so much when he looked at me. Her hand reached out - reach me, she smiled.no, more precisely her grin, her saliva dripping from her three mouths.

Her teeth .. baby - the baby already has teeth . The teeth are small - small but very pointed and blackish .

Her facial skin is not like a baby's, their facial skin is rough and peeling small - small . Her face was red, either red because of the blood from the skin that was peeling off it or something else.

The aroma is not a refreshing baby scent but a stinging stench.

I kept running trying to get out of the house.

"Mama.. mama . mama "the baby calls - earthy call .

"Tydhask .. Jaaaangany .. Jaangaann approach me .. Please go .." I said half-shouting while shaking

pov umi end's.

Danu already felt something was wrong with her new home the first time she got to , which is why she asked her family to have dinner outside . Because he wanted to ask his family directly freely without any 'mahkluk' of his.
