Married to a Grave
Chapter 1

In a remote village in the middle of the forest, there was a grandmother named Eyang Margo. He is now so happy to welcome his favorite grandson from the city. Sitting on an already almost fragile chair and looking towards the road, his eyes occasionally closed due to the sleepiness that attacked plus the breeze was so cool.

"Eyang, wake up. This is Eliza," said the beautiful girl named Elizabet Sumiati when waking up her beloved grandmother slowly.

"Sumy!" the grandmother hugged her grandson.

"Eyang, why do you always call me Sumi? I'm Elizabet" he protested.

"Halah.. the descendants of the villagers, mbok do not say," said Eyang Margo.

Eyang Margo invites his new granddaughter into the house, a house that is walled from wood and a roof of clay isthmus. The location of the house under the bamboo tree, making a typical cool countryside. Coincidentally behind the house of Eyang Margo there are several ancient graves, ancient people.

"Sumi, if you want to eat take it yourself? You have to go to the fields" said Eyang Margo.

"Yes, Eyang. But, don't call Sumi anymore" said Elizabet Sumiati.

After Eyang Margo left the house, Elizabeth looked around her house. He went around the side and back of the house, suddenly heard the sound of people calling his name.

"Sumi's... Sumi's....

"Yes Eyang," said Elizabet turned his head back and there was no one there.Elizabet returned to the front of the house, he felt there was something strange with the house of Eyang Margo.

Elizabet then went around to his neighbor's house, there happened to be several houses. While on the road he meets a buffalo herder, an old grandfather. The grandfather suddenly said, do not carelessly throw garbage in the village of people. Not knowing what Grandpa was saying, Elizabeth ignored him.

Three days later.

There was news that a neighbor had died, who was none other than a grandfather whom Elizabeth had met three days ago.

Many residents said that if the grandfather died in an unnatural way, many maggots appeared on his body.

"Surely grandfather has violated the rules of this village" said one resident.

Elizabeth, who heard the conversation of the citizens, became very creepy. He was afraid something would happen to his grandmother's village.

"Sumi, do you remember me?" ask a woman who was none other than her childhood friend.

"Drag!" elizabet hugged his childhood friend.

At the age of three, Elizabeth lived with her grandmother in this village, but the village was still crowded. Many residents moved to the city, including Elizabet's parents.

The city government is eager to advance the village, but there are obstacles. Mysterious and unreasonable events often occur, so many residents think that their ancestors are angry.

After the funeral, Elizabeth and Ningsih walked to the house. They decided to rest under the big tree in the village.

"Sumi, you really want to settle in this ancient village?" ask Ningsih.

"I want to accompany Eyang, who knows who can be the soul mate of this village youth," said Elizabet.

"Huusst.. if you talk here do not be careless! the young man of this village is only Parto, the others are married" Ningsih said, making Elizabet smile.

Ningsih also mentioned restrictions and restrictions during the stay in this village, mandatory bathing to the river at least once every three days and many more.

Elizabeth sped up her pace as she passed through the quiet road, the wind gusts and the sound of the owl chirping made her stop. He looked around the tree where the bird was perched, the first time he saw an owl.

For him so scary and scary, after the curiosity was gone Elizabet continued the journey home to the house of Eyang Margo.

"Sumi, don't get used to coming home in the afternoon. Residents here at five o'clock in the afternoon should already be at home" said Eyang Margo, who found his grandson had just returned home.

"What's wrong, Eyang? eliza had met Ningsih" said Elizabet, who was called Sumi.

"Pamali, the girl came home in the evening" said Eyang Margo.

Instead of believing the words of the grandmother, the girl was curious and wanted to try. Although he did not have strong guts, Elizabeth was very confident that he could fight fear.

After dinner, Eyang Margo asks Elizabeth to go to bed. Because in the village there is no more activity, unlike in the city where Elizabet lived with his parents.

"Eyang, I can't sleep. Can I go to Ningsih's house?" ask Elizabet.

"Sumi, since when did you disobey Eyang's orders," said Eyang Margo.

Elizabeth then went into the room, she tried to close her eyes but could not. He woke up and opened a window curtain made of rags.

The distance between the house of Eyang Margo and the neighbors is quite close, but the atmosphere at night is so quiet. Lighting is also only from traditional homemade lamps, there is no electricity.

Elizabeth took a chair and sat in front of the window of her room, imagining how happy she was while living in the city. At night Papah and Mamanya usually invite out, for a walk to enjoy the beauty of the city at night.

Suddenly, Elizabeth's stomach felt heartburn, she rushed to the toilet located behind the house. When he checked it out, he was coming by the moon.

"Why is there so much blood, it is not usually like this" Elizabeth said in her heart. He immediately cleaned the blood with water, and went into the room to use a sanitary pad.

In the morning Elizabeth woke up very early, not as usual. Uncomfortable with the blood coming through his pants, Elizabeth immediately replaced the pads with new ones.

he reluctantly took the hoe and buried the pad behind the house, which was nothing but an ancient grave. Suddenly he felt an earthquake-like tremor, making him run and scream.

"Wrought!" scream Elizabet.

Running as hard as he could into the house, trying to wake up Eyang Margo. It turned out that Eyang had woken up, he was rolling tea in the kitchen.

"Eyang, let's get out!" elizabet shouted while holding the hand of Eyang Margo.

"What's wrong? people from earlier there was no earthquake," said Eyang.

Elizabet said that after burying the pads behind the house, he also showed them the place.

"Why don't you ask, Sumi? you have broken the rules of this village! quickly grab your pads," said Eyang Margo loudly.

Eyang Margo became sad, for fear of anything happening with her granddaughter. Even he still felt the tremors of the grave, but did not tell Elizabeth. "I'm resigned to what will happen later" he said in his heart.

Suddenly the sky turned dark, a pitch black cloud filled the sky until the entire village stopped its activities because of fear.
