POCONG BAPER
Chapters 19. Ghost Ruri

The body of the figure wearing the face even looked very frightened and shivering. His face was smashed, the skin was peeling, one eyeball was nearly dislodged, and the cheekbones looked crumpled. His face was covered in horrible blood.

Usually the figure who saw the terrible face would screech while closing the curtain back. The entire feather will instantly bristle. The person will also touch his chest which is irregular heartbeat. That person would definitely immediately run away, seeking shelter to hide. Not with Dira.

The girl just stood staring at the ghostly figure. Strange feelings begin to hit Dira and become more and more. Just saw a pocong that was in turmoil above the precarious neighbor, now he saw a figure whose face was actually familiar to him.

The figure was like my colleague Dira while sitting in elementary school. Dira took a deeper look to look at that figure named Ruri. Ruri lives two blocks from the block where Dira lives. However, every afternoon, Dira and Ruri often play together in the complex park or play various game tools in the park.

After Dira graduated from Elementary School, Ruri chose to continue her education to a boarding school outside the city. However, why can also appear a ghost figure that resembles Ruri. Could he have died?

"Ruri, is that you?" ask Dira.

Suddenly, the shutters of Dira's room were wide open. Appearing a female figure floating and wearing a mukena it was getting closer to Dira. Not wrong again, Dira is increasingly convinced that the figure is Ruri, so the inner Dira.

The figure slowly twisted its neck back 180 degrees without twisting the body, then back again towards the front. The sound of movement of the figure's neck accompanied by the sound of a fracture of several neck bones. The sound of bone cracking sounded terrible.

"Duh, Dira became his clay seal," muttered Dira while tilting his head to the right and to the left.

Ruri's face was seen instilling terror within him. His neck turned again with his eyes wide. Even some of his eyeballs appear to come out of the cavity and hang because they almost come off.

"Why does his head keep muting, anyway? That's the face to be around, that's it," said Dira.

The ghostly figure even showed a wide smile, until the corners of the lips almost touched the side of the ear.

Ruri then grinned showing uneven teeth. His gums also looked bloody.

"Diraaaaa, help me!" pinta Ruri's.

"Tuh, right, you're really Ruri. How could you die like this? You died in prayer, did you?" ask Dira.

Ghost Ruri nodded. The lights suddenly went off. Dira was trapped in the darkness that blinded his vision. However, about five seconds the light shimmered back. Suddenly, Ruri's shattered face figure was already in Dira's presence.

Ruri grinned and opened her mouth wide. Suddenly, the ghostly figure spurted out a blackened viscous blood liquid mixed with pus and maggots. The liquid smelled foul as it landed on Dira's face.

"Yahoooooooo!"

The true Dira was frightened from disgust with the liquid, suddenly shouting loudly in the chaos of fear that hit him strongly. The girl was unconscious and fell with her head on the floor. His eyes darkened and consciousness slowly disappeared.

...***...

Dira found himself in a large courtyard of the house. The sound of children playing rang out boisterously spreading excitement. Dira saw many small children playing hide and seek, jump rope, congklak, bekel, and also marbles. They are very happy and look free. All of these are Dira's favorite types of games as well.

Then, Dira heard some teenagers running and laughing. He saw the figure of Ruri who was joking with her peers as well. Ruri wore a white school uniform and a long blue skirt, as well as wearing a white headscarf.

"Later, then. We play here first" said Ruri.

Dira just understood that he was in the pesantren area which also has a public school building in it. There is also a mosque, a dormitory building for separate male and female students, as well as a building for the lodging of the teaching staff. Several facilities are also visible there.

The day was approaching Maghrib, Ruri was still playing in the field near her dorm building. Around the place there are also some old and unkempt graves in the corner of the field. Ruri was still playing with her peers at the time.

Ruri plays hide and seek with her friend while Dira is observing.

Ruri looks for a place to hide. Even with his ridiculousness, Ruri instead had hidden behind a tombstone.

Suddenly, Ruri heard very clearly there was a female voice whimpering for help behind her. When, Ruri looked behind her there was no one there. The girl felt that the voice was just the wind then.

He was still hiding and it seemed like his friends could not find him. Or maybe even afraid if you have to look up to the tombstone. Until finally, Ruri heard the screams of the dorm mother who called everyone to go home because maghrib soon arrived.

Ruri finally went back to the dorm. He then took a bath, prayed maghrib, ate dinner, and then taught. After studying, Ruri decided to watch tv together for a moment at the house of her dorm aunt.

Aunty's dormitory house is actually small and rented only. The living room is the front room that is limited to the walls, windows and doors to the front porch of the house. Only a few kids dared to go there. Because if caught watching tv, then they will be punished.

The dorm aunt let the sisters watch tv because they could afford to pay with a bite. The santri asked his parents to bring more sembako so that it can be given to the aunt of the dorm.

While being engrossed in watching, suddenly Ruri heard the sound of people moaning and coughing from the terrace of the house aunt dormitory. That voice sounded the same as the voice Ruri heard while playing on the field this afternoon.

Ruri started to get curious, she walked towards the door. When Ruri opened the door, how surprised the girl when she saw the figure standing in front of the door was a female figure wearing a shabby white face full of dirt spots.

His face looks pale. The right side of his face was also broken. Looks like blood stains and pus are drying. The foul, rancid, and piercing smell made Ruri nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"Please .. please open my door. I'm not strong anymore. It hurts so much, help me, please…."

"Why, why don't you open it yourself, Ma'am?" asked Ruri to vent.

But the figure of the woman did not reply and continued to ask for help by crying and moaning in pain. Ruri had not even realized that the figure was not treading on the floor. Ruri is increasingly looking because she feels unfamiliar with the face in the pesantren area.

"Please untie me" she asked.

Ruri began to pity and could not bear. He stretched out his hand to open the face that the figure used. Ruri thought that the female figure did have a deformed face and felt pain when wearing a tight mukena. Then the woman could not unbind her face either.

"Well, I'll open it" said Ruri.
