Married to a Grave
Chapter 4

The village head was just passing in front of the house of Eyang Margo, when he was traveling around the village with other residents. He asked other residents to wait in the street, he was about to approach Elizabeth who seemed to be sitting alone.

The night is getting late, the air also feels increasingly cold to bone piercing. The head of the village requested that Elizabeth enter the house, neither is it good for a woman outside the house alone.

Elizabet told the village chief to leave, arguing that he wanted to find the wind. There was sweat on Elizabeth's pretty face, for some reason she felt something different.

The village chief did not force Elizabeth any more, so he told her to come in for her own good. "Sumi, please listen to the advice of Eyang Margo. It's all for your good while living in this village" he said.

"Why follow me call me Sumi? my name was Elizabet" said Elizabet, always fighting over his name.

The village chief smiled at Elizabet's protest, then he continued to travel around the village.

In the middle of the road, the village chief met a terrifying figure in black. Though he was not alone, there were some residents but only the village chief could see the figure.

The village chief stood firm and could not move, let alone scream for help. His face was pale and sweat like a frightened person, scaring the citizens.

Thanks to the prayer he read in his heart, the figure disappeared by itself. "You guys don't need to worry, I only see astral beings," said the village chief.

"It is only right that since the death of the goat-herding grandfather, our village is not safe. Is it possible to ask for more collateral," said one resident.

"We have to do something" said another resident.

"True," they said in unison.

"Please calm down first, we have to find the cause" the village chief said.

They eventually disperse, to go home and rest. The plan is that the village head will look for a shaman, to find out the cause of his village to be strange.

"Taufan, as the village chief you must be firm. Our village is from a long time ago a lot of rules, laws of citizens who are not obedient rather than harming the community," said Granny Sakinah who is none other than her grandmother Taufan.

"Nobody's breaking, Mbok. It's just that lately a lot of it is awkward," said Taufan.

"No need to lie to you, it's Margo's grandson yesterday what? if not breaking," said Grandma Sakinah.

Typhoon tried to cover all the events from his grandmother, but out of nowhere his grandmother could find out all. His grandmother never left the house because she was sick.

"Mbok, now it's better for the mbok to rest. It's night, not good for Mbok's health," said Taufan. Bringing his grandmother into the room and help him to relax, do not forget Typhoon also enveloped his grandmother's body.

It turned out that the parents of Typhoon listened to the conversation of Typhoon with his grandmother, he immediately asked Taufan not to be too anxious to think about the state of the village. Because from ancient times also often occur strange events, it's just that not many residents are aware of it.

Grandma Taufan is 150 years old, she can still move as usual even though she is now often sick.

"Sir, Buk, what exactly happened to this village?" ask a hurricane that does not know all about the events that once happened.

"Sleep, Son. Later your grandmother wakes up again, tomorrow I tell her everything," said Mother Typhoon gently and always make her son obedient.

"Eyang, more do not worry too much later Mas Arman also want to come with Eliza," said Elizabet.

"Who is Arman? which man, Sumi?" ask Eyang Margo.

"Mas Arman is Elizabet's girlfriend, Eyang. Elizabet would take her home sometime" Elizabet said happily.

"You've only been here a few days and you've been bringing men home? what if your Papi and Mami ask, Sumi?" the word Eyang Margo glared towards Elizabet.

Eyang Margo became reminded of Elizabet's parents, who had been dating since the age of 17 and finally married young. As a parent he felt failed, this time his grandson had known the man made him even more unsettled.

With his anxious face he allowed his grandson to go to the river but not alone. Elizabeth, however, assures that Arman is a good man. Unsuspecting, Eyang tried to entrust all to Elizabeth. Instead of the more prohibitions, the child was curious and did the unwanted.

After Elizabeth went to the river, Eyang Margo met Ningsih. He asked Ningsih for help, to follow Elizabeth to the river.

"Eyang, why didn't you say that earlier? Let me accompany Sumi," said Ningsih.

"That doesn't think up to it, Nduk. It's not good if Eyang is too fierce with Sumi," said Eyang Margo.

Ningsih then took her dirty laundry, she then went to the river in a hurry. Up on the road Ningsih met with Typhoon, making Ningsih stop his steps.

"Dek Ningsih, do you want to wash your clothes? kok is alone" said Taufan who is the most friendly figure of the village head.

"Yes, sir," said Ningsih smiling sweetly.

"Yes, be careful, yes" said Taufan returned Ningsih's smile.

Ningsih nodded her head, then continued her path. In his heart Ningsih was so happy, because he could greet with the handsome village head of the district.

"I must immediately tell Sumi, finally meet the idol," he said in his heart while smiling to himself.

When Elizabeth looked down, she was sitting by the river. It was also seen that he had finished washing, because the bucket next to him was full of wet clothes that had been squeezed.

"Sumy!" shouted Ningsih with excitement.

"What's up, Ning? come-come-come smile yourself, do not know what other people sprained," said Elizabet.

"You know what? I was greeted by the village chief," said Ningsih with a happy face.

"That's doang? last night the guy broke me on the porch" said Elizabet, still upset for some reason.

Instantly Ningsih's expression instantly turned moody, the person she admired turned out to be friendly to everyone. His heart felt sad, afraid that the person he admired liked his friend.

"Now change I ask, why is your face so moody, Sumi?" ask Ningsih.

Elizabeth did not want to say what had just happened, she was already upset. He also immediately invited Ningsih home, but Ningsih refused because he wanted to wash his clothes first. Finally Elizabeth waited for Ningsih to wash her clothes, while contemplating the incident. Occasionally Ningsih also looked at Sumi, and forced her to tell a story.
