Om Seno was busy rubbing a keris when I came.
"Again alone Om?" ask me after seeing the state of a quiet house.
"Oh Pram, yes, your aunt is staying at Deva's house.
Deva is her first daughter, married and living with her husband in a contracted house.
I sat in the chair beside him. Om Seno is indirectly my uncle, the relationship of brother with him is innate from my sister's husband.
I often visit his house. He was nice to talk to, because we both like to discuss things related to history. Sometimes when I came he told me to massage. Strange as well, his body often catch a cold but every time I play at his house he never wears clothes like today.
"Where's Keris?"
He did not immediately answer, he lifted keris up high, as if observing the results of his rubbing.
"Burning yesterday's trash, I got a match for this keris," he replied in passing and rubbed back.
Very true him, just scraping garbage can keris. Om Seno is an expert in caring for antiques. Especially a type of weapon. He knows very well how to make ancient objects look good and stay durable.
"Keris dad now where's Om?" askaku. I remember, when my father died there was a keris that was then taken. He wanted to be treated, he said at the time.
At first he looked at me. "It's in the closet, but it's expensive."
"What is Om?"
"I'll change the handle as sheath, expensive price, millions" he said again.
Ah, it looks like Om Seno is worried about my father's legacy. I had no intention of taking it. After all, it's a pity to spend millions on that kind of thing.
I also switched the other conversation. Asking why aunty stayed at Deva's rented house, he usually never, even if he visited there and then went home, because he had to prepare merchandise for tomorrow. Om Seno's wife has a food stall at the market.
Om Seno replied that Deva's son was sick, this afternoon he looked, but did not come to stay overnight. Then he offered me to stay the night. "Let's have a chat, you know I have trouble sleeping Pram afternoon" he said.
I did not refuse, I had never stayed at his house, but I thought I would at least not go to sleep, because Om Seno could stand his man's literacy.
But apparently the night was different, not to mention two hours we chatted his eyes already look narrow, it looks right he resisted sleepiness.
"We continue tomorrow just talk Pram, my eyes are heavy right, astonished, not usually like this," he said.
He told me to sleep in a room near the kitchen, a room that is usually used for guests when staying.
The room is not too wide, measuring approximately 3 x 3 meters. A small cot is inside. I took off my jacket and hung it behind the door.
I threw myself down and stared at the yellowish light bulb. I fell asleep soon too. I don't know how long I've been asleep. My sleep was disturbed when I heard it like a cluttered voice. I tried to really hear that voice. Back the sound of klotak klotek heard, his voice from outside the room.
What is that sound!??
I wonder if I rise. Slowly towards the door. Carefully opening the door, I was only worried that the voice I heard was coming from the man who intended to steal in Om Seno's place.
Tracks! Tracks!
My eyes were fixed on the closet drawer in the living room. I set my foot in front of the closet, I pulled the drawer, I looked at the contents.
Akh! A black head with frown-hair and long canine teeth glared at me. Rrpr! That was the last sound I heard. Darkened.
Prams! Prams!
I opened my eyes and saw Om Seno by the bed.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Have you seen a ghost?" Canda while smiling.
I didn't answer right away. Kudukku goosebumps. I still remember clearly what happened last night. Uh, who brought me back to bed?
"Om, have I been here a long time?" My toot.
Om Seno laughed, "Ah you Pram, indeed since when did you sleep move around? Never mind, wash your face there, I've made breakfast in the living room."
I'm not arguing, I'm obeying Om Seno's words. Is he dreaming?
In the middle room is ready a plate of fried rice and a glass of water. "Eat, I know your favorite. I cooked it myself."
Didn't think twice immediately I took the fried rice provided to me. While Om Seno himself then sat while smoking. But a moment later he got up, he went to the closet, and pulled the drawer, his hand went in to grab something. I held my breath. I'm back on the creeps.
Kris. A keris is in his grasp now. Keris found that he matches from the trash. Oh, apparently there last night he kept that thing?
Om Seno smiled, looking as if he was amazed by the keris in his hand. It sat in its original place, and in very careful observation it was very careful.
"Sane Pram."
"What's so weird, Om?"
"This flat, you know, I've never seen anything like it." He said while lifting a keris in his hand.
I wanted to answer where I knew about kris, but I finally decided to shut up. I speeded up my eating. After I finished eating, I left.
"Hurry Pram?" Asked Om Seno while engrossed in a keris in his hand.
"Yes Om, mo's doing college work," I said.
"Oh yeah, good."
I got up, I wanted to take out the motor I put in Om Seno's kitchen last night, but then I turned around.
"Yes Pram?" Reply without looking.
"Wouldn't that kris be thrown away, I'd say I don't know who the owner is." My speech.
Om Seno glanced, "Ah you Pram, there's-there's, because of this nemu, who has, at least has been thrown away who has."
"Yes that's Om, I mean maybe that kris was deliberately dumped because it's dangerous Om."
Om Seno looked at me, his lips smiling. "Hey, you said you were going to do college?" He diverted the conversation
I scratch my head. Nodding. "Oh yes, Om." I turned around, heading towards the kitchen. I took out the bike and left Om Seno's house.
Slompret actually Om Seno, even if he told me about the incident last night, would only be responded with a smile, and said all I experienced was just a mere fireworks. Ah already.
***
A week later a call came into my phone. Apparently Deva's daughter Om Seno.
"Yes Dev?" My toot.
"This is a problem, about Dad.. It's been two days since I went to the hospital." Answer Deva.
"Ohh, why Dev?"
"It hurts."
Stupid question. I said in my heart while patting my own forehead.
"What pain do I mean Dev?" Ask again.
"Gold mas, you limp can't wake up, this is me asking Pram to come here."
"Well Dev, I'm right there." My answer.
I saw the clock, at half-seven. After getting ready, I took out the motor. Towards the hospital.
Arriving at the ward of Om Seno, I was not welcomed by Deva, but his wife. His face looked sad, "What's the condition of Om, auntie?"
"Look at Pram himself, from this afternoon he asked us to call you."
I approached Om Seno's bed, the man's body looking much thinner than I last saw. "Om, it's Pram."
Om Seno opened his eyes that were closed. He looks at me. "It's really you who came Pram?"
"Yes Om, it's me Pram." I replied rather loudly.
"Pram, Om needs your help" he whispered half a whisper. "Kris it, throw away the kris."
"What do you mean by that finding?" My firmness.
Yes nodded. "You're right Pram, kris is dangerous, must be thrown away, throw away, into the sea." Her request.
"What happened to Om?" Ask me to want to know.
"I'm in a ghost" he whispered. "Several nights I've seen that kris turn into a ghost head creature, that darn keris Pram, you throw it away."
"When Om?"
"Tonight." break it up.
The deg! Heart's pounding. Do I dare to go to her house alone tonight?? But to relieve Om Seno's heart I nodded. "Okay Om, tonight I'll take the kris."
Hearing my reply Om Seno breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after that I was too happy. I drove the motor straight to Om Seno's house.
Half nine o'clock. The atmosphere of Om Seno's house seemed lonely, with the courage to go inside with a spare key loaned by Om Seno's wife. Kuraih tablecloth in the living room, I slowly step foot into the living room.
Tracks! Tracks!
My breath stopped beating. I saw the closet. In slow motion I approached. Very slowly I opened the drawer, afraid that something scary would jump out. As soon as the drawer gap opened, I quickly put my hand that I had coated the tablecloth. Ah, a form of keris I think is in my grasp. I directly followed the thing with a cloth tablecloth, I tied it tightly. Next rushed me out, I put the bundle containing the keris in the motorcycle seat.
I drove the motor fast leaving Om Seno's house. However, he had to throw the kris away. But I can't throw it in the sea, the nearest beach is three hours from our city, if I'm determined to do, I can until the morning I go home.
One place has crossed my mind, a river is not too far away, an estimated half an hour has arrived there.
The motor is accelerating. The cold night air I don't touch at all. My only wish is one, quickly get rid of that damned keris.
Less than an hour until I was on a big bridge, under which flowed a river wide enough. Motor terminated. Some vehicles are still passing by. Kubuka. I see that bundle is still safe there. I slowly took that thing. Then, hupp! I threw it deep down the river.
After completing my mission, I immediately started the bike back. Turn home.
Almost twelve o'clock I arrived in my town. A tired body and drowsiness made me decide to go straight home.
The house is dark, you must be asleep. I entered through the side door. The door was never locked until I got home. I put the motor on without making a noise. I took off my jacket and hung it on the handlebar. I wash my face and urinate. After that, I went straight to the bedroom.
Tracks! Tracks!
My move to open the door to the room stopped. What is that sound? Maybe the rats thought. I also opened the door. I pressed the switch to turn on the lights. Just as my feet were about to step towards the bed, my eyes were fixed on the thing lying on my bed pillow. Kris!
So-called.
