Legacies
Eka in the river

"Eka, let's go in and sit and be quiet."

"Yes grandpa. Eka in."

"Eka, first. How are your voices different? You're sick."

I realized something was wrong in Eka. He whispered something into Grandpa's ear.

"Oh briefly. Grandpa's gonna come in for a second. Wait here the same as you. Go with me first."

"But I want to go in the cake, it's cold outside. Come in, same as we'll cake."

Eka was already standing up to come into the house with grandfather.

But om quickly pulled Eka's hand.

"This is where Eka was. Just hang with me for a minute."

Om felt Eka's hands gritty.

"Om, Eka's hand won't be held will be destroyed."

"Hands can be destroyed by being held. You're just there."

"The truth om, take off Eka's hand. Hands are hot. Eka could melt this!"

"You are umpetin where Eka. I know you're not Eka."

"Lepasin first only later Eka tell you. It's Eka."

Grandfather came with a glass of water that had been prayed for and brought prayer beads.

"Eka, this is drinking water. And if you want to go to Grandpa's house. Eka should hold this prayer beads. Because before you came here he said you were bullied at home."

"Eka doesn't want to hold Grandpa's prayer beads. Eka's coming in. Eka was sleepy and Eka was not thirsty."

"If Eka doesn't want to drink, let grandfather drink."

Grandpa drank the water he brought. Eka smiled grinning. Grandpa and om know that Eka is not the real Eka.

Grandfather spouted the water he drank onto Eka's face. Eka's face that was hit by a burst of water turned into a woman whose face was smashed almost flat. And his hands are covered in blood.

Om who was still holding the woman's hand felt the mucus flowing from the woman's body. Finally, he let go of the woman's hand.

"You are not Eka, where is Eka."

"Hihihihi, Eka I will not return. He will be with me because Eka has met her mother and sister."

"can't. Eka can't be with you. Because your world and Eka are different!"

"Hihihi, can't. Eka is happy now. You can find Eka's body in the river behind this house."

And the woman was gone when the grandfather was about to spout water again.

Grandpa immediately hit a fist. Some residents heard the sound of clanging immediately came to the grandfather's house.

"What's the cake? Grandpa got lost?"

"Please help me. My granddaughter is lost in the river behind this house."

"Wow, the river behind grandfather's house is not it scary? How can Grandpa's granddaughter go missing in the river?"

"Yes how can it be?"

"You help grandpa. We're looking for grandpa's granddaughter. He had just come and turned out to be carried by the river."

"Come, we all help Grandpa."

They all immediately went towards the river with grandfather and om.

Residents around know that the river behind Grandpa's house is spooky. Many people like to see the appearance of women. By Maghrib usually the river water becomes heavy, but in the morning and afternoon, the river water shrinks.

There were 20 people including grandfather and om, they scattered combing the river where the water flow is not too heavy.

Om saw the silhouette of Mbah kakung and next to it was Eka's floating body. Om immediately ran and was followed by residents as well as grandfathers.

Residents flashlight an already wet body when Om lifts Eka. There was a wound on Eka's forehead that was gaping. Om immediately held Eka because Eka was still breathing.

"Om, Alhamdulillah Eka is alive."

"Alhamdulillah O Allah."

The citizens simultaneously said thank God for Eka because she was still alive.

"Let's change clothes immediately and take it to the clinic. That's his forehead leaking. It must be treated immediately by a doctor."

Om holds Eka and brings her to the house of Grandpa and Grandma also aunty is ready at home.

They immediately changed Eka's wet clothes.

"Thank you grandma and aunt."

"Have you not walk, later in the same car. Aunt is calling om."

Om came and carried Eka. Om, Eka, grandfather and one of the residents went to the clinic.

Eka is sewn on her forehead.

"Grandfather, grandfather's grandson is there to take care of you. Thank God he survived."

"Yes, there are guards. We also have a guard. The one who guards us is Allah SWT."

"Not grandpa. I saw that there was a grandfather using a surjan and continued to use a stick. Her hair is in the kayak of Gajah Mada. The difference is that Gajah Mada in the books is a big person, if this is like us, his body is like that father."

He pointed towards Eka.

"That's possible. I didn't see anyone."

"Yes anyway. Because I can see things that are invisible to the cake. And this granddaughter of grandfather can also see invisible things just like me."

"Yes it might be. My granddaughter is like any other child her age. Not a special child or grandchild."

"But cake, granddad can loh. He could be a great shaman."

"About talk. My granddaughter may not be a shaman. He's still in school and in our family no one's a shaman."

"Sorry, sorry cake, if my talk offended my grandfather, not a shaman but a smart man."

"If it's smart. My grandson is smart. He's always been the champion of his class."

"Grandfather, thank you. Eka has been helped by om, grandfather and citizens."

"Yes, be careful next time. Let's go home, sorry grandma and aunt are waiting at home worried."

"Yes grandfather."

Grandpa, om, Eka and the father go home."

"Whose name?"

"Eka, um."

"You can see the devil, right?"

"Well! Not om, it is very scary if Eka can see the devil can immediately faint om. There's just om."

Eka laughed at the words of her neighbor.

"But I'm sure, Eka can. And Eka had a guard who always protected Eka. The power is huge."

"Oh the om. The guardian of Eka who has great power is Allah SWT."

'No, not God. But guards like ancestors or ancestors."

"My ancestors and om the same, if in the school of the ancestors of the Indonesian nation was from the plains of Yunan."

"We have arrived. Let's get Eka down."

The four of them got out of the car. There are still many people gathered at Grandpa's house.

"fathers. Thank you all for your help. My grandson survived. And soon morning prayers. Let's pray at dawn in mushola. And later after the issue, I invited the fathers to the celebration because my grandson was spared from danger."

Grandfather invited the fathers to pray at dawn.
