Bu Budi


Eka, Susi and Thomas are eating at a meatball stall across from the school.


"Buyers are many. He said it was delicious. I just ate here."


"Yes the same, I also if you two do not eat here I do not want to."


Eka just shut up. He thought about the incident that happened to Budi. And don't listen to what Susi and Thomas are talking about. Until finally the meatballs of their order came.


Susi touches Eka's hand slowly because from earlier calling Eka, it seems like Eka did not respond.


"Eh yes Susi, sorry I thought about Budi. Why is he suddenly possessed."


"Think about it, Mom, just later. Eat first the meat is cold hunting not good. Thomas and I are waiting for you so we can eat together."


Eka looked at the meatball bowl that was in front of her. Susi and Thomas are giving soy sauce as well as sauce and sambal. They're still churning meatballs.


Suddenly Eka looked at the table next to her desk and Eka saw a large, creepy tall creature sitting next to her. The creature was fed with a spoon used by the mother.


Eka immediately vomited and got up and ran out. Susi and Thomas, who had just eaten meatballs, stood up and chased after Eka who had run.


"Eka, Eka, stop don't run. Eka!" Susi shouted to Eka to stop.


"You shut up, go back to the meatballs and pay, let me go after Eka."


Susi stops while Thomas continues to pursue Eka. Susi turned to the meatball stall and paid for the meatballs they had ordered. And get out of the stall.


Though hungry, but why Eka ran away anyway, it became red meatballs. It must be really good that meatballs because many people buy until they queue so."


Thomas was finally able to chase Eka and hold Eka's hand so as not to run away again.


"Hosh... Don't run anymore."


Thomas held Eka's hand and spoke while breathing in as he ran after Eka. Eka herself was also seen regulating her breathing.


"Eka, why are you running? I'm tired of chasing you where meatballs haven't eaten at all. Susi is the same. What's wrong?"


Eka saw Susi walking towards them.


"Later we find a place that sells meatballs without any genies. Fortunately you guys haven't had time to eat that meatball. Susi is on her way here. Wait a minute I'm looking for a cab, we're going to get some food."


Susi finally arrived and her face looked upset.


"Eka, what the hell are you! Suddenly running is not clear! Mubazir's the meatball. And I paid. Many came to buy the meatballs. Until it's out! Where I'm hungry now!"


Susi spoke with annoyance and anger to Eka.


"I'm sorry about you two. Well that's my grandfather's driver coming. Come on, come with me. We'll get some food somewhere else. And then I'll change your money for Susi!"


Eka's car stopped right in front of the three of them. And they got in the car.


"If you eat, maybe the genie is hungry too. The jinn and demons cannot be hungry!" Susi still looks upset and takes the money offered by Eka.


"If the genie eats in a different bowl with the mothers, it is not papa. But the genie ate a bowl of both with the same spoon."


"Where is Eka, you are hallucinating. Is it because also Budi's mother who suddenly danced so that all you see there is a genie."


"Okay, how is that. So gini is Susi. A lot of food stalls or restaurants or anything that's not good. So that many buyers there are those who use selling genies or genies that can make many people come. Although! Remember though that not all restaurants or food stalls use them. Many also sell because the food is good."


"Continue seeing that genie?'


"Yes Thomas, that's why I don't want to eat and I run out because I want to vomit see the genie eat in one bowl and the same spoon."


"But what you see only on our front desk, the other table does have genies?"


"Yes, the genie is many. And every table is there. If I were clear, you wouldn't believe me because you didn't see. I can see their existence."


The driver who saw Eka was overwhelmed explained to Susi and Thomas finally helped Eka. Susi and Thomas finally understood.


"Non, you want to eat meatballs. Eat the meatballs on a regular subscription."


"Eka it's up to Susi and Thomas. Hows it? Do you want to eat meatballs or do you want to eat something else?"


"It's up to you only Ka, later if I invite, know you run again like that. I am very hungry."


"Well, what do you two want to eat? As an apology, I pay you to eat."


Susi and Thomas want to eat rice. The driver headed to Eka's family's farmhouse.


After the meal, Susi and Thomas are escorted to their homes.


"Sir, let's go home first. I want to change clothes after that we go to pick up grandma and grandpa. Mbak Asih will also come."


"Yes, non."


All the way home, Eka fell asleep. In his sleep Eka saw Budi's mother dancing Javanese dance. But Eka did not hear any music from the tape, Eka heard the sound of gamelan while Eka only saw Budi's own bu and there was no gamelan near Budi's bu.


Eka looked around and found no gamelan that still sounded. After that the sound of gamelan stopped and Budi also stopped dancing then came from inside the house Budi mom brought a drink that was deep red and a bowl that was closed. Eka was speechless to see the mbak carrying the glass, because it resembled a living corpse. Face pale. When Eka approached Bu Budi who had finished drinking, he, Eka smelled of carnation and fishy and Eka was surprised because Budi opened the mangkoj that was closed and it turned out that the contents were monkey heads that opened their craniums. Bu Budi took the monkey head and sipped the stuffing from the monkey head. Eka felt very nauseous until finally Eka woke up from coughing.


"Non Eka, Non Eka why?" The driver who saw Eka awake and coughing finally asked.


"Ngga papa sir. Sir, later if anyone sells coconuts, stop for a second. I want to buy green coconuts."


"Yes Non."


Eka still felt nauseous from the dream and Eka felt that the dream was real.
