After feeling relieved, I immediately went home and performed the Magrib Prayer shortly. As usual after the magrib we teach the children to teach and continued praying Isya congregate until it is finished.
Thereafter. We walked away to the house of the bride who was going to do the wedding tomorrow morning. I also intend to miss school because the house is not far from me, so I can help various things later.
“Tadi, when I came home and sent my mama to work, right up to the bridge. I was surprised by the sound of running footsteps. I thought it was a horse ghost that people were talking about, it turned out that the kids were going to run. Almost hit by fear,” said I told you.
“Han napa tia, takutan jua ai sakali (settle, fear also ends),” taunted Jamal.
“Emang why Mal?” ask As’ad.
“Tadi pas ngumpul dipos. He's so rich, sober-sok'an brave.”
“Kan was just kidding Mal he he.” I replied shyly.
“New also voice footsteps that are uncertain have been afraid ha ha ..” sahut As’ad.
“Tuh Ahmad Habibi has returned from martapura. Kan he is good at making mining (decoration).” I'm trying to shift the conversation
“Say he will follow,” replied As’ad.
“Oh yaudah. You see he's good at making decorations."
"Oh yes, is the equipment ready Mal?” I asked Jamal because he is the family of the bride.
“Everything is ready. Last time after you left, I was also told to go home to buy it all,” he replied and I nodded.
After arriving at the destination I saw all the tents were standing firm. The table and bench are ready. I saw, too, behind the steaming high smokehouse, it seemed to be cooking food for the event.
Some of the fathers also have a relaxed coffee while playing chess and dominoes. The game is just to add to the crowd. In the ears they hang two-fingered tree trunk pieces that are studded with Japanese grass.
Just seeing it makes us laugh. “Try to see. There are already four hanging in his ears.” Appoint As’ad on a father who is squatting.
“Ha ha... messed up,” answered me while Jamal smiled.
••••••
After arriving home. It turns out that someone else has made the decorations. There are even small children who play with colorful paper which is a material to be made of gold or decoration.
The color of the paper is quite a lot. So, when we dip into the water, the color will immediately fade. It even makes the paper back white.
I was shocked to see that Ahmad we were talking about was already there. “Loh says As’ad you haven't left?” many wonder.
“You are running too long,” replied the 22-year-old man.
I was a little confused and silent. “From being confused, mending stick nih letters on this paper,” he continued while thrusting a paper twist that has been formed letters along with shiny blue paper.
“Ayo Ad arrange the letters so salamat come and please do’a restu,” my door again to As’ad who already sat.
“Iya fierce writing (yes so the writing?)” sahut Jamal took the glue.
“Well congratulations please come and do’a,” my reply made them all laugh.
Because of the chat I almost forgot to pick up my mom. Time is almost ten.
I immediately asked to say goodbye first to those who were still busy. After that I immediately went home to pick up the motorbike and immediately left.
•••••••
Arriving at the ulin wood bridge. I heard the sound of the bridge's logs squeaking like there were a lot of motors running through it.
Because usually, if there is a vehicle that passes then the wood of the bridge reads. Maybe because some of the floor bolts have been a lot of loose. So, the boards are a little tipped. Well when we pass, then the tipped board earlier will sound.
But strangely at that time there was no motor sound and light. Only the sound from the floor tipped over like many were passing by.
Because of waiting. I decided to keep passing even if later if I let go I have to be careful not to crash.
When we got to the top there was no one, but the voice was still not lost. My whole body immediately felt terrified.
I try to think well if I know this sound comes from people who have climbed the derivative of this bridge is quite high.
Again I was scared to death. Because when I got to the climb downhill, there was no one to go down or up.
Seeing the horror, I even drove my vehicle when it was downhill and very steep, aware of what I was doing immediately kurem forced and managed to slow the pace.
The sound of running steps from above rang out loud, very fast towards me. Suddenly I was surprised, accidentally releasing the grip of the brake. Rapid sliding towards derivative.
Not yet able to scream. I was clearly shown. How the creepy figure that just nudged me to fall. He was running away to SD.
The figure was very clear, resembling a long-haired man shoulder to shoulder without wearing clothes. The lower body is also very visible. That it was a brownish-colored horse body.
“Akhhh ..!” I screamed to stand up.
Nahas. The pain was caused by the motor pushing against my left leg. Trying to lift and increase pain in the legs can not be a solution.
I don't know why the bike feels heavy, it's hard to lift. I thought waiting for someone to pass by would be the right solution.
However, it turned out, the horse demon figure had actually ran back towards me quickly. Not only that, I saw his huge angry gaze running with the spear in the right hand.
“Please ...! Help ...! yells me so.
I kept trying to stand up, but my left leg hurt even more. The figure kept running over. Now, he even seemed like he wanted to throw a spear in his hand aimed at me. I swerved immediately to my stomach, to bend myself even though my mind said it would not survive.
“Lailahaillah Muhammadarrasulullah!” I shouted in a flat voice.
The lights suddenly turned on me who was still face down. Still scared, I didn't dare look ahead.
“People fall from Pah motor!” shouted a woman.
“Come quickly we help!” answer a man.
Hearing the human voice. I also ventured to get up from my face, looking ahead. Sure enough, a couple was running towards me.
“Why did it fall here?” ask the man.
“Anu Mang, something is bothering me,” I replied and they looked in wonder.
“Already, we don't need to discuss. I also already know who you mean by the person who bothers you. This isn't the first time. Lucky you just fell into these bushes,” he replied and I nodded.
“Something hurts?” ask wife. While the man woke up the vehicle that was pinning my leg.
Because I don't feel pain anymore, I'll answer that it's okay.
“Yasudah, next time pray first if you want to go,” said peria advised.
“Iya Mang, Acil (aunt). Thank you so much for helping,” answered me and they both left.
It felt like my heart was still beating hard, and my body was still goosebumps. Fear is still getting more and more binding.
I even thought how it would be if that person didn't exist, I could have died from being cornered. But regardless of both of those things. I am so grateful to be safe. My mouth incessantly remembers it.
After reaching the destination. My mother waited long enough. He's even a little angry. It's just I don't want to tell you that.
When I came home I reasoned to buy food in Km.11. So, I can take a detour, instead of going back to that bridge.
••••••••••
Next day. The wedding ceremony that was held went well. I also helped lift dirty dishes, as well as washing behind the house of the bride and groom with As'ad, Jamal and also the fathers.
I also told of my experience of being almost killed by that horse demon.
"That demon has no intention of killing. Most likely he just wants to play and scare. This was reinforced by the confessions of others, who were also bullied as he did you," my teacher said.
In the afternoon. My mother asked to be escorted back because there was a sudden business. I also felt that my feet hurt. And it turns out, he even told my sister to drop off.
Feeling unbearable, I decided to let me drive again. Even though I had to go through the bridge, I was very worried.
At night, just like yesterday's hour. I ventured to keep going through that bridge. So that later not used to always be afraid. What's more this is the nearest pedestrian bridge. If you continue to be afraid, I think it will only be troublesome later.
As mandated by the person who helped me, and also the teacher at my school who talked about ghosts yesterday. I prayed before leaving and assured the heart that they were just like fish on dry land, could not last long and must have disappeared too.
It's actually true. I wasn't bullied like I was last night, and I was able to get home with my parents safely.
Even every day when passing through the bridge I can go quietly without fear and worry too much again.
One of the things I can do is pray before I go, trust and seek protection from the evil of every creature. And most of all, always worship wherever we go.
