Married to a Grave
Chapter 7

Eyang Margo was pacing back and forth from earlier, he was worried about Elizabeth who had not yet returned from the river. I don't know how long Elizabeth took a bath, but she refrained from looking for her for fear that yesterday's events would repeat themselves.

"I'm looking for Sumi myself" he said, looking out of the house, hoping Elizabet would return home soon.

Soon there was a knock on the door, but the back door. Eyang Margo immediately opened the door, it was not Sumi who came but a neighbor. Eyang Margo looks so panicked, and nervous when he meets his neighbor.

"Eyang, why? it hurts again?" ask Marini next door neighbor Eyang Margo's house.

"That's right, Mar. Why not go in front of the house?" ask Eyang Margo.

"I'd like some spinach, Eyang. It was going to be straight, but it's not good if you don't say it first" Marini explained.

"Take it, the tree also grows itself I do not plant. Tomorrow again if you need please take it," said Eyang Margo.

Incidentally behind the house of Eyang Margo there are several types of vegetables that grow alone, so the neighbors are picking it. In the village if anyone has vegetables can be picked by neighbors, because the change is available. In contrast to life in the city that is all-round buying, and rarely anyone asks each other for vegetables.

"Eyang, he said he now lives with his granddaughter huh?" tanya Marini has never met Elisabet. While picking spinach they exchanged stories, Eyang Margo also told about Elizabet to Marini.

One of the graves behind Eyang's house was hollow, Marini who knew immediately shouted. Indeed the spinach tree is close to the grave, so it can see very closely.

Eyang Margo said that the hole was long ago, and no one dared to close it. He also did not know exactly when the grave would be repaired, indeed so far no one has reported the incident to the village head.

"I'm scared, Eyang. If something happens how? it should have been handled quickly so as not to harm people" Marini said.

Marini dared to talk like that because of the location of the cemetery behind the house, many people also pass through the place when going to the river or to the rice fields. Because through the road it can shorten the time, so that it is faster to arrive. Not far from the cemetery there is a forest, and the forest is somewhat haunted.

Marini said goodbye, she felt goosebumps and felt a strange air. According to him this is not as usual, he used to come here often also does not feel like this time.

Eyang Margo checked the hole in the grave, seen a cloth that wrapped the corpse is still intact. He felt that there was something strange, it should have become soil because the cemetery was decades old.

"Done!" the new Elizabeth cried.

Because the Margo Eye did not reply, just saw Elizabeth went where the Margo Eye was and asked what happened.

The eyes of Eyang Margo were fixed on the figure of the man who was next to Elizabeth, as he had seen but he forgot where he was.

"Why, why shut up?" elizabet asked to tear off the body of Eyang Margo.

"Who is he, Sumi? why are you with him," said Eyang Margo still looking at Arman who was smiling sweetly at him.

Without hesitation, Arman immediately shook the hand that had looked wrinkled, then kissed it. He introduces himself as a close friend of Sumi, and when Eyang Margo asks where Arman's house is he looks confused.

"Mas Arman's house deket from here, Eyang. in that direction," Elizabet said showing the direction of the forest.

Arman just shook his head, he felt at a loss later on how to show his house to Eyang Margo.

"Why is your face pale, son? you're sick" asked Eyang Margo, looking at Arman's face, which looked like a corpse.

"Mas Arman hasn't had breakfast yet, Eyang. Let's go inside, Elizabet makes instant noodles from the city yesterday" Elizabet said.

"I'll just go home, Sumi. Later breakfast at home, same maggots," said Arman.

The eyes of Margo and Elizabeth frowned, astonished at the words of Arman who was about to eat with such disgusting maggots.

"I mean caterpillars hunted in the forest" Arman said.

They were relieved, already thinking badly about Arman. But they keep forcing Arman into the house, and Elizabet makes instant noodles that he brings from the city. Incidentally Elizabet brought in large quantities, he made two servings of instant noodles because Eyang Margo had breakfast first by using eggplant vegetables and fried fish.

"Mas, which one to choose? it's soto and it's chicken" Elizabet said as he thrust two bowls of noodles in front of Arman.

Arman took a bowl filled with chicken noodles, because he did not know how he immediately lifted the bowl that was still hot and then poured into his mouth little by little.

Elizabeth gawked at Arman's way of eating, not daring to rebuke him. Elizabeth was afraid that Arman would be offended by his words, and Arman was about to take back the bowl held by Elizabeth.

"Mas, this is mine" said Elizabeth holding the bowl tightly.

"That's a big boy, Sumi. I want more" said Arman.

Elizabeth ate her noodles first, for fear that the cold will be unpleasant. Arman gulped to see Elizabeth eating her noodles, using a spoon. After he had finished eating Elizabet again for Arman, this time he ate with a spoon like what Elizabeth had done.

Elizabet smiles to see Arman eating right, he also dispels his prejudices and thinks that Arman may have been starving.

"Mas, here's a drink" Elizabet said, preparing a glass of water for Arman. Arman immediately drained the water, and asked again.

After eating Arman and saying goodbye, he also advised if he came to the house to ask Elizabet to make instant noodles again. "Sumi, we'll see you tomorrow" Arman said.

"Yes, Mas. Tomorrow go straight to the house" Elizabet said, bringing Arman to the door. Not to forget Arman also said goodbye to Eyang Margo, who is currently sitting on the porch of the house.

After arriving in the middle of the forest, none other than in Elizabet's vision was Arman's house. He met the old Devil and said that he had finished eating chicken-flavored instant noodles.

The old devil was angry with Arman, because all this time he only ate maggots while Arman could eat instant noodles which he said were very delicious.

"I'll lock you up, Arman!" the old devil yelled at the rope to tie Arman. Arman ran around the tree, so as not to be caught. Old devils are chasing Arman, they look like children who are playing chases.
