The screams of Midnight
Haunted Costume?

Amel crawled backwards quickly, his body trembling, wanting to shout even louder but not a single word could escape his mouth. 

The narrow kitchen room felt increasingly stifling the chest, the gravity of the earth as if pressing it strongly until moving was difficult. The two figures of a child who was still laughing under the table made him lose his lifting power. Limp helpless.

Amel eventually lost consciousness. He could no longer control the fear that dominated him. His body was drowning on the floor. 

Luna who heard a small commotion from the direction of the kitchen was suspicious and immediately exited the room. He walked slowly, and called to Amel.

"Mel, Amel! What fell down, you're okay, right?" screaming ensures.

There was no reply from Amel, which Luna felt was only a strange air greeting her. He smiled cynically, taking footsteps into the kitchen.

The two figures of the little boy were instantly speechless hearing Luna's approaching footsteps. They looked at each other and immediately left before Luna came.

"Hhh, how dare you show up here!" Seringai Luna was violent as the tail of her eyes caught the prowess of the black shadow away.

Luna checked around, after making sure no other visible figure had appeared, she approached Amel.

"Mel, wake up Mel!"

 Luna shook Amel's body slowly, but Amel did not respond. Luna opened a box of P3K not far from her. He applied a scented oil therapy on Amel's nose hoping that Amel would soon wake up.

Amel slowly opened his eyes, a dark shadow initially dominating the view but gradually normalizing. Luna smiled at him.

"Lu-Luna?"

"Why did you faint? Good thing I'm horrified, if not all night you sleep in the kitchen!" Luna chattered while helping Amel stand up.

"Ehm, that's Lun .. down there, there's a little boy!"

Amel recalled the incident before he lost consciousness. He spontaneously pulled his body behind Luna and pointed to the bottom of the table where the two ghostly figures appeared.

"Little boy? You know, where's the little boy here?" Luna pretended not to know.

"Rightly Lun, they were under the bottom! They even told me to shut up when I saw the kids in the backyard!"

"Hhhm, this is the cake asep that haram goods make you feel ashamed too! Where's the kid here and what time is it? It's not possible that his mother or his father would let them play to the neighbor's house!" Luna again denied Amel's sight.

"Yes it may be times, son of the devil! I don't have a mother either!" Amel again debated Luna. He was upset that Luna did not support him this time.

"Iiish, the son of the devil also has an order of Mel times! It's just different in the world!"

"Eeh, if there is a child here means that in this house there is a mother as well as a father dong Lun?!"

 The small feathers on Amel's body immediately stood up, horrified to imagine that their rented house was also inhabited by a ghost family. He spread his gaze around the kitchen while clutching Luna's hand firmly.

"Well, that's what you're horrified about! Hence malem-malem use show cleanin dishes ma pan so, should it be disturbed?"

Luna invites Amel to leave the kitchen, leaving some dirty dishes that have not been clean properly in the sink. 

The giggling voice of the astral figure was again heard. The water faucet rotates by itself opening and closing, draining the water over a half-soapy dirty plate.

No one heard it but Luna, the others were busy with some random chatter out there while Amel closed his ears tightly.

"Lun, I slept in your room? Please?!"

"Yes, yes .. you coward! What about tomorrow if I stay a long time?"

Luna just shook her head, finally that night they shared the bed together. Amel sleeps close to Luna's body. Every now and then his eyes looked into every corner of the room, keeping watch if any other desperate subtle creatures appeared again.

The noise in the backyard started to go unheard. Silent and silent for a moment. Amel was sound in his sleep that night.

The next day Luna had prepared with Ardi to return to her hometown. Tired of the whack makes Luna and Amel misfortune until finally Luna is only ready for the afternoon. Luna's luggage was quite a lot, making Amel ask questions.

"Lun, how long have you been gone? A lot of innate? What's the transfer going to be?!" His protest while raising Luna's last suitcase.

"Who knows Mel, my father's pain is severe. I'm his favorite kid so yeah gotta standby nearby dong!"

"How do you go to college? You can find Jaka you later do not enter!" amel's forehead frowned.

"Calm down, I can set it!" Luna closed the back baggage door. "I go first, take care of yourself! Not for long, a month at most?!" The sniffling joke of Amel's pouting.

"A month, you're crazy!" amel's grumbling to Luna.

"There's Arini, right? You can bring the others here too!" Luna closed the car door to mark the farewell.

After a moment of stale talk, Luna and Ardi leave their boarding house. Leaving Amel in fear who now greeted him again. Amel turned and looked at the front view of the boarding house he occupied, his hair again bristled.

The house is relatively old, with paint that began to be overgrown with moss here. But the building is still sturdy, the floor is still made of original black ceramic ala antiquity. The front and back courtyards are quite spacious with well-kept Japanese grass that is green. 

What makes the atmosphere a little spooky is some sapodilla trees that grow in the backyard. I don't know why Amel always shuddered in horror if he stared at the sweet fruit trees. His parents said that sapodilla trees were often infested with delicate creatures and made a home for them.

"Cock is so horrified, especially if you look from outside here! Where's quiet again, Arini where are you?" 

Amel rubbed his nape, the day went by in the afternoon but a dark aura had enveloped the old boarding house. A hard half-clap on the shoulder shocked Amel.

"Mell!" 

"Astaghfirullah, Arini! Just surprise you?!"

"Who do you think? The devil? Or again ngarepin Rico yaa?" Arini cengengesan showed off her neat teeth.

"Iish what the hell, yuk in! Laper don't we make you eat yuk?!"

Arini and Amel are coming in. They immediately engaged in an interesting conversation like girls his age. Forgetting Amel's fear, forgetting the strange premonition Amel felt after Luna's departure.

They did not realize, a shadowy figure noticed the two from one of the bedroom windows. The dark room that Amel had not touched. The room is always locked.

The white-clothed long-haired figure giggled, a blood-stained shabby blanket was in his arms. The figure moved like he was holding a baby. 

His blackened hands decorated with long nails gently rubbed another figure in his carry. The baby is covered in blood with the umbilical cord still attached to his stomach. The baby was still motionless with a blue face.

Tak Lelo Lelo

………….

My son sing nice rupane

…………

Tembang Jawa drained softly from the terrible mouth of the figure of the woman, put the baby bajang in her arms. A terrible smile adorned her black lips peeling with bloodstains that adorned the corners of the lips.

What was heard next was a long giggling sound that brushed my hair.
