“Uma .. we are Pihanlah. It will be ja pina bapirutan (Waduh .. you are Pihan. The time to make it is not flat),” said Isar in Pihan who was making a circle on the ground with a small twig.

“No need to be good, the important thing is we can play marbles here,” replied Pihan continues to improve the circle line he made.

“Already. That's enough, don't be too big, later not because I'm aiming,” Fazri scolded while taking marbles nailed to the left trousers. While someone on the side seemed cool in counting the marbles he had.

“Don't be too calculated Pul, will definitely run out also have you it,” ledek Isar.

“Just be quiet! You do not talk too much. if you lose later do not cry,” reply Ipul without seeing because it is cool to count his. Isar seemed to laugh.

Pihan stood up and took the marbles in both of his shorts pockets. “We Put five marbles each!”

“Most! Enough of one each!” yelled Ipul not accept.

“Uma ... one, mayu kamana (Waduh ... one, where enough)!” reply Pihan underestimated.

At that time Isar just silently listened. “If two marbles, I will come!” sahut Fazri and Pihan are lazy.

“Nah gini only. We put three marbles!” Isar crouched down while putting three marbles in the middle.

“Alright then. We put three,” replied Pihan crouching while arranging marbles. After that Fazri and ipul who were initially hesitant finally agreed.

This village, named Anjir village as far as central Km 12.5 is located in Kuala Kapuas district. This is a place away from the urban hustle and bustle. The cool village and clean air make this area always comfortable in residence.

Moreover, every house always has a large front yard.it makes children like Pihan and others easily find a place to play.

The game of miserly (marbles) in that afternoon goes with competition with each other. They fought each other over the twelve marbles that were mounted inside the medium circle.

Pihan began the action by squatting from the line they had agreed to throw the marbles. From that distance of three meters, Pihan took a serious aim and successfully hit one.

Isar was hooked and followed him, but unfortunately the quickly rolling marbles even hit the Pihan sandals that were released because of running.

"Huh basic! You just hang in there," said Isar annoyed.

Their game continued and increasingly colossal, because only three were left to be contested. Each of them had already picked up three marbles.

Dear to Ipul. He didn't get one, because his shot always came off. Feeling that he was going to lose, Ipul started to cheat. He started the action by aiming not at the last location of the marbles to be closer than the target.

His perseverance worked and finally hit one. That way, he had a chance to take the marbles belonging to one of them, who had managed to pocket three each.

The marbles belonging to Ipul continue to roll and climb Fazri's. “Sik!” yelled Ipul while removing the obstructing leaves with his feet.

Sik is a term used to get rid of all obstacles, such as small garbage in order to target the target easily.

Those who first say Sik, then will have full rights to get rid of all the garbage that will make the marbles deviate from the desired direction, because it hit the leaves or small twigs that block.

Different if the enemy party first said “Kada Sik (not Sik).” Then we have no right to remove all obstacles. In fact, not infrequently there are also those who deliberately set something to prevent his marbles from being targeted.

The pulse continues to get rid of all obstacles to make the dust fly. “Dust Pul!” reprimand Pihan shouted while shaking off all the dust that was pointing at his face. Isar immediately stood up to avoid.

Fazri who stood not far from Ipul just made him close his eyes while shaking off the dust. Seeing the chance of Ipul immediately aiming and holding the Fazri marbles. “Kena!" he shouted so happy.

"Ha ha .. Here where are your three marbles!” Ipul raises his hand asking. Pihan and Isar are shocked to find out what happened.

“Cheat! I saw you do it!” Fazri.

“Cheat what. I'm clear about yours!”

“Cada! I saw a little. Ikam mauntingnya kada in his place (No! I saw him a little bit. You're aiming out of place)!.”

“Emang how is Zi?” ask Isar.

“Tadi Ipul did it like This!” Fazri demonstrated it according to what ipul did. That's one step closer than the Fazri marbles.

Seeing those who began to trust Fazri, Ipul quickly seized the three marbles that Fazri had placed on the ground not far from him. Rebut only, Fazri immediately seized the forced in the grasp of the increasingly tight Ipul. While biting his own lips, Fazri continued to forcibly snatch and occasionally shouted furiously.

Seeing the two of them getting worse. Isar and Pihan immediately broke up. “We have played mun now (We have played like this)!” isar said as he stood before the two of them. Pihan held Fazri in the back.

“Oo ... Pihan! kanapa you guys are very noisy,” call a grandfather who just came out of the house.

“Anu Kai (Grandfather). Fazri same Ipul quarrel,” replied Pihan while pointing.

“It's the Ipul playing marbles cheating!” sahut Fazri appoints Ipul.

“Cadada Kai ai. He lost can ulun then sarik (No Grandpa. He lost because I was angry),” replied Ipul.

“Lying! I saw it.”

“If you play it don't fight. What else is cheating. You are still kids, so enjoy playing with your peers. Respect each other and please help your fellow friends, do not mock each other. For example, quarrel, do not for long, immediately forgive. Later if not, even have no friends,” scolded grandfather Rusdi looked at them all.

“Han dangarakan jar kai tuh (Tuh listen to what grandfather said),” Isar also advised.

“Nih grab your marbles,” sorong Ipul on Fazri.

Fazri took it. Then Ipul walked up to take the two remaining marbles. “Loh why in the Pul, 'will not be finished,” reprimand Pihan.

“Kan Isar said we have to deal with it. Meaning our game cancel,” replied Ipul easily.

“Lah!” Isar and Pihan stared in wonder.

“Then let's sit together, grandpa wants a ghost story on you,” call kai Rusdi.

“Mantake Kai!” sihan shouted excitedly, running towards kai Rusdi who had been sitting casually on the porch of his house.

Isar followed Pihan, then followed by Fazri and Ipul who were still a little awkward. Even so, they also sat facing kai Rusdi with a feeling of pleasure. Of course they are happy because kai Rusdi always has a fun story for all of them.

“At that time around the 90s. There was once an incident, where I who easily appeared, scared the citizens who saw it,” said kai Rusdi began to tell stories.

The flashback

It was morning in the rice fields handil mantat. The sound of footsteps in the knee-high water rang out loud. Many people who walk wear clothes stained with mud, long clothes covered.

In their head there are purun tupi also dikeui of rumbia leaves for women. From their faces clearly visible, thick powder that covers so that the face is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Tanggui is a typical Banjarmasin hat that is large, made from nipah or rumbia leaves. Usually, tanggui is used by farmers and people who are using traditional water transportation, namely jukung or kelotok.

In addition, tanggui is also often used as a head covering for traders in traditional markets, for example in floating markets.

Kai Rusdi was at that time next to their rice fields. “Kai!” greet one of them who just came.

“Oh Roni's. Want Baariankah?” ask kai Rusdi.

“Upload, just half a day,” replied Roni who was 21 years old at the time.

Kai Rusdi nodded and continued planting rice with his wife. While the people just now continued to walk towards the boundary of the ground in front.

Baarian is a term used to grow rice or even during mass harvest. The owner of the rice field will set wages as often agreed.

After that, those who were hired would work on it together. With the nature of the gontong royong it is, no need to wait long, the rice will be finished in the rice field.

The baarian groups have also reached parallel to the rice plants belonging to Kai Rusdi. They all rested on a mound of earth that was made as a barrier called a bull. The owner of the rice field, Haji Sabran, began distributing packaged rice to them.

At that time Kai Rusdi also took a rest, then approached by Haji Sabran. “Nih kai rice wrap for pian (you),” please two packs.

Roni and one other person also came over to them and ate together. “He said, in our village began a lot of kuyang wandering,” said Salim friend Roni.

“Tuh the Zainal, when going to work, instead see me flying on the roof of the house Agus and Ogi,” replied Roni.

“Emang Zainal what work to go night?” ask kai Rusdi.

“He works in a rice mill factory which works at night. Well he saw that last night. He said, the shape is really not careless,” replied Roni.

“About next door there's also a look. Where to enter the house again he said,” sahut salim make them shocked not play.

“Kayapa sawat enter home. Seen pocket banar malihat (how can enter the house. Don't-don't very clearly see it)?” Haji Sabran stared curiously.

“it happened a few days ago. So the owner of this house has finished giving birth. Because at that time the lights off, so it even feels stuffy and hot. The husband opened the window door so that the wife could be exposed to the wind and feel cool."

"Ehh .. instead of the incoming wind, even a tangled head of hair that looks from the open window,” said Salim told a story.

“Then, what happened?” Kai Rusdi was curious.

“Sang Wife was surprised and thought it was next door neighbor, so was her husband. Then her husband walked back to the window to say hello and tell her the happy news" Salim replied.

"Suddenly, the husband immediately sat down in fear, when a lump of tangled-haired head flew up and showed the contents of the stomach breaking. Not getting there. This one flew in through the window, instead" he continued.

"At that time, the midwife ran out to call people with the baby she was carrying, even her husband had also come to ask for help.” Salim continued on.

“Means being left alone dong his wife.” Roni's worried.

“Iya! So the midwife rebuked him and told him to come back. Lucky when her husband came back, I was no longer there. While the wife who can not do anything just snuggle tightness," Salim replied

"So how, is his wife okay?" ask haji Sabran.

"Thank God nothing happened. But he said, he heard a voice like a drinking person,” Salim replied making them all shudder in horror.

“So I was gone and no one knows where?” ask Haji Sabran again.

“Kerna the citizens have arrived, so I was the one who fled. According to the confession of one of the residents there, he had seen the kuyang disappear in the shade of the rubber garden,” replied salim.

“Thank God nothing happened. Hopefully in our village does not happen like that,” said kai Rusdi and embraced them.

Those who had finished eating also began to continue working, including kai Rusdi and others until the eve of dzuhur.

The rice paddies belonging to Haji Sabran have also been finished planting rice, which is left only where the rice paddies are used as seedlings. The group began to go home together.

At that time Kai Rusdi also went home following his wife who first went ahead, to the main road Handil Mantat. Kai Rusdi saw his wife talking, but instead had a worried and fearful face.

•••••••

After the afternoon arrived, Kai Rusdi and his two daughters were sitting at home, just relaxing from the fatigue of working and socializing between neighbors.

Ulfah kai Rusdi's oldest son was cool to tear his mother's gray hair. While his sister Rabiatul Adawiyah still cool to wash dishes in the kitchen.

“If there is menstrual blood in a balum bandage thrown away, immediately throw it later at dusk,” tell the mother to Ulfah.

“Why ferocious ma when indulgence (indeed why mah if dusk)?”

“So noon in the rice fields. Your friend's mother told me that her son was following me."

"Can't you?" Ulfah was astonished.

"Say, his son threw out menstrual blood at dusk. While throwing it away he was alone heading towards the river. The people on the streets were deserted, there were only a few children going violin."

"When it reaches the trunk. Suddenly a strange sound emerged from the grass on the rocks beside the river. When he saw, it turned out that even a pale face with straight hair was peeking at him behind the leaves of the grass,” replied the mother a little afraid.

I quickly stood up and left. “Where to (Where to go)?”

“Throw that!”

“Let's go.”

“So told fast,” replied Ulfah wonder.

“Solve this one first,” pinta the mother told him to come back.

•••••••

That night Kai Rusdi finished performing Isya prayers at his home. Communicate with his family. When to shake hands. Suddenly from the kitchen came the sound of plates breaking, making them all shocked.

“Try see Ulfah,” pinta kai Rusdi.

“You're aja Yah,” pinta Ulfah on his sister.

“Why me, you are told,” firmly Iyah.

“You two try to see,” pinta kai Rusdi a little loud.

Because they were told to venturate too. When we got to the kitchen, none of the dishes broke. “No mah!” say Iyah.

“Try see dirty plate outside!” answer the mother.

Ulfah opened the door where the water container at once they took a bath and washed the dishes. They were afraid that the place was open. Slowly but surely, Ulfah was finally able to see clearly one plate broke apart from the other.

“My-goddess!” shouted one of the residents outside the house.

Ulfah who was outside immediately looked up to face the sky. Instantly it also ran while slamming the door. “Above our home!?” ask me fear.

Ulfah tried to calm herself. "none. I was just scared to hear them yell at meyang.” Ulfah stroked his chest.

“My-goddess!” yelled at the other people again.

Kai Rusdi immediately ran towards the exit. "Close all doors and keys. I want to catch up with others.” Kai Rusdi also came out of the house, still with his black sheath and peci towards the residents who scattered on the ground.

“Where do I go?” ask Roni Kai Rusdi.

“Other residents have chased him upstream, but some of them have returned because they lost track,” replied Roni a little overwhelmed.

“Who sees and where?”

“Salim, he saw her flying from across to our village. He shouted calling for the other citizens who were relaxing in the post. They chased him here,” replied Roni is still overwhelmed.

“It looks like we have to take action on this issue. The residents of handil next door have been doing night watch, after the incident where I dared to enter the house,” said one resident not far from both.

“Kuyang this has been very troubling and only caused riots. Not only one, they are not even rare to pass easily on the roof of the citizens' house,” replied Roni.

“Mun we went to RT to look at what (if that is why we met RT to talk about this),” Kai Rusdi's advice and they nodded in agreement.

That night the other residents turned out to be at the house of Mr. RT. They are resting and talking. It is also seen that Salim is talking to RT, seeing that kai Rusdi and Roni immediately approached.

“Thank God Kai came, we want to talk about this issue with Kai,” said RT sir greeted first.

“Ai napa mahadang me, buhan kam ja, I say mandangarakan (loh why wait for me, you guys, I listen),” kai Rusdi replied a little surprised.

“Still advice only Kai,” say salim.

“Gini only. You announce to others, who will watch tonight with you willingly. Later, tomorrow we will talk together about this turn of guard.” Kai Rusdi said softly to RT sir.

After hearing Rusdi's advice, RT immediately announced to them. At that time, Kai Rusdi also volunteered to join the guard, but Roni asked himself to replace him, then agreed RT sir and other residents.

Kai Rusdi returned home with the other residents. When he arrived home, it turned out that his two children slept with his mother because of fear, as a result he also slept in the steps of his son that lead to the kitchen.
