Never disturb those who are not seen, because you will regret it later.

"I'm sorry, every full moon I have to hide. And not come out when the light is too bright to shine"
Hmmm. I just agree with what Awan said.
Yes because I know, he is also always guarding himself so as not to get caught by the "Seekers", who are always his fear.
"Ahh, yeah I don't blame you. I'm just confused because I also felt something different inside of me that night. But I can't explain what it feels like, what's clear is that I'm very different"
I explained how I felt at the full moon that night.
"What's wrong with you?"
Awan immediately asked me.
"I already explained to you just now. I also don't know why I am like that".
Hmmm. If only I had known, I wouldn't have told him. With the presence of Awan, sometimes it can make me comfortable.
If God could bring him back to those days, and it didn't happen, I would have an older brother.
But it has become a way of life, what can I do.
"Hey, are you daydreaming again?"
"Ahh, no. Just tired."
Always, he surprised me when I was imagining something.
For the past two days, I have been practicing Pencak Silat for the August event. The rehearsal is at night. So learn some moves to show.
I'm already fluent and get two moves that are quite long in sequence.
Because of the seven children, I was the only one who quickly memorized the movements.
But before I practice I decided to take a shower first.
"Hey kid, wanna take a shower?"
"yes mom"
Mom asked as she passed behind me, scratching my head and walking off into the living room.
"Son, your sister will come here tomorrow"
Hah, my sister came here! I didn't answer and went straight to the bathroom. Wow, Dad said she also has advantages like me. I got curious about her.
She's the number one older sister and I'm the last child.
Hmmm. So if you want to know her, I'll tell you when she comes tomorrow. ️
And it's time for a shower.
Brrrr. Why is the water so cold...huh.
I saw that the roof of the bathroom was already dark, indicating that it was getting late.
I took a shower I don't have to tell you.
After taking a shower, I immediately rushed to my room to get dressed.
Tonight's practice, so I'm wearing black.
I looked at the mirror in front of me and realized that my hair was already long hmmm. I think I'm similar to one of the Korean actors.
After getting dressed, I decided to have dinner. Dinner today with fried noodles and omelet. Hmmm, one of my favorites too.
"Very cool"
I turned to Awan who just sat next to me.
"I want to practice Pencak Silat"
"Wow, Pencak Silat. It's good, huh?"
It was annoying when he said that while making his current facial expression… ughhh. I can't tell.. anyway.. ughhh.
I just continued my meal without answering the chatter from Awan.
"Son, what time do you leave? It's already half-past eight!"
"What!!!"
Luckily my mom reminded me. I grabbed a drink and ran straight through the living room.
Practice hours start at 7.45 pm. Less than 15 minutes.
"Mom, I'm leaving"
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Going to practice?"
I rushed straight to the training ground. Tonight should be the time for me and my father to talk about many things. And again I deny it.
The distance traveled to the training ground is 10 minutes, so I'm not walking anymore now. I ran, for fear of being late.
"Why hurry"
"Awannnn!!! I told you when you show up say it first or see your face first. Huh always surprises me."
"Yes, sorry"
Huh. I started to run out of breath, and I decided to stop for a moment. It looks like the training ground is, about 100 meters from here.
"You tired?"
I glanced at him and gave him a disgusted expression.
"Yes Awan, what's wrong with you. Suddenly you don't know this"
I walk fast.
"Really!!!, it's so good you walk without moving your feet"
He just smiled at me, and before he uttered a sentence. I've already cut it.
"Shhhtttt"
He closed his mouth for a moment.
"It's enough just to be quiet. Okay."
He just nodded his head.
Hmm, am I being too harsh on him? Hmm never mind.
The place we use today is a new place, at the very end of a residential area. Because Pencak silat uses a song like a drum, the trainer chose a place far from residential areas, for fear of disturbing them when they were going to rest.
When I passed this road I felt a cold wind hit me. I quickened my pace, and Awan disappeared again in an instant.
Hmmm. Only this alley has a slightly different aura, There is a street light installed right in front of where the practice is being held.
I passed a large avocado tree, ughh very big and when I looked up it was so shady and hmmm I decided to rush straight to the training ground.
Before entering the training ground, I looked back for a moment.
I felt someone was watching me from earlier.
Hmmm.
"Hey, let's quickly practice!"
"Ah, yes sir"
I entered the new house that was made for practice. Hmmm. This house is not yet fully finished or finished. The windows were still made of ordinary wooden bars, and the walls weren't completely covered with cement either.
From this house alone I already feel uncomfortable, especially without Awan by my side.
The boys are practicing right now and there are 9 people here 10 plus me.
Three are coaches, and six are training.
Because tonight it turns out that I don't need to practice, and those who have to practice them, I decided to stay here first and wait until they finish.
Practice usually ends around midnight.
"Awan, where are you?"
It's been five minutes of waiting,
no answer from him.
"H, you go home from there soon. If you can be with your friends. I can't get past the area of this avocado tree. There's a genie here."
At that moment, I immediately became restless.
"Sir, what time is it finished?"
I asked Mr. Sutiyo, and he replied that this was about to end.
All children rest and drink the provided water. Different from me. I'm confused right now.
"Son, we brought three motorbikes with us earlier, so only two children can ride the motorbike. So who dares to walk alone when this ends?"
Without thinking they immediately pointed at me, to walk alone home. Because I went alone too, they said.
I want to argue but, everyone is ready on their respective motorbikes. And now I'm halfway there before the avocado tree.
"Awan, where are you?"
I looked around and couldn't find it.
I walk slowly.
And he was at the end of this alley, he was waving his hands under the bright lights in front of the residents' houses.
Hmmm. Come on, you can do it.
I cheer myself up.
The alley that is passed is not long. Only the size of the large and shady avocado tree in front of me.
I saw that the cloud had given me a code so I could quickly run there. But this time I tried not to panic and acted more calmly.
Now I started walking under this avocado tree. Not long after that, I saw at the end of this alley there was already an old woman wearing a shabby kebaya, squatting to the side. I couldn't see her face, because it was covered by messy white hair.
Awan pointed at the crouching grandmother, giving an indistinct signal.
It wasn't long before I saw Awan running over.
Just standing next to the grandmother, Awan suddenly fell and convulsed next to her.
Without thinking I immediately ran to him.
Then she stood up and turned to me.
uggghhhhh Her face is abstract, no skin on her face. His face was a skull that still had organs.
Her left eye is full of maggots.
Without thinking I ran towards her
Before I could swing my leg to kick her, she disappeared and now I feel something heavy and painful on my right leg.
"Argggh"
I felt my legs being gripped tightly, I tried to kick but the bonds were too hard to untie. I didn't want to look back, because I knew I wouldn't be able to see his face.
"Awan, Awan!!!"
He was still convulsing in front of me. I tried to ask for help, but no sound escaped my lips. It feels very heavy.
My breathing started to slow down, and everything went into slow motion.
I remembered something.
I decided for him to reach his feet. And try the way I did with Indah.
It was very difficult, my body began to feel weak and helpless.
It took all my strength to touch it.
Arghhh a little less.
And I managed to touch it.
"Awww"
I felt a tremendous electric current run through my body.
I saw Awan immediately wake up and stood up. In the same second, the grip disappeared from my feet.
I looked back, bounced far behind me. Not waiting for her to return, I immediately rushed to Awan. And decided to run as far as possible.
Look back.
She's after me, she's after me now.
She ran on all fours, with maggots spilling out of her eyes.
I ran as hard as I could, and he was right behind me.
I use all my energy.
But, then.
She stopped, she stopped at the end of this alley. I saw her stop and squat at the end of the alley and then turn around.
Huh, I finally managed to escape from her.
I sat for a while in front of a resident's house stop this way. And this house is the last one before that alley.
My breath is not normal, I hold my breath and try to relax more.
I look towards Awan. He was getting paler than usual.
"Awan you go first it's okay. It's close already I can go home alone."
Without saying a word, Awan left.
I know how he feels, I still feel scared to this day. I looked towards the end of this alley.
He's not there anymore.
I lifted my right pant.
There are bruises on my ankles.
I decided to walk back and go home.
I made to walk the pain just felt, I'm walking abnormally now. I have one leg.
I'm crossing a bridge now. Hmmm, this is also an alley, but it's not like the avocado tree.
"BAM!"
Something fell in front of me, in the middle of this bridge.
I approached, and it was a coconut. I decided to get rid of it.
It was only a few inches before I touched it that I realized that there were no coconut trees around.
And I was reminded of my friends' stories about "Glendeng Pecik".
Without further ado, I immediately ran away from the bridge.
Huh a little less until my house.
"BAM!"
The coconut fell again in front of me, I stopped for a moment and immediately ran to kick it and went straight into the house.
Ahhh. Why is it locked? I banged on my door, so I could go inside.
"BAM!"
And now he fell in front of my terrace. Slowly he rolled toward me.
"Brack"
The door finally opened and I went inside and quickly closed the door.
Mom was surprised to see me. And mom walked to the window to see, but before that, I grabbed her hand and told her.
"Don't Mom, it's Glendeng Pecik"
Mom came back to me then locked the door and escorted me to my room.
***
"Glendeng Pecik"
Friends told me it was an imitation Coconut. Then suddenly there are coconuts falling around you and no coconut trees there. So don't try to approach or touch it. Because when the coconut turns the coconut becomes a person's head and will attack you in an instant. And the news is that the person who, after being attacked by Glendeng Pecik, will die at sunrise.
Huh, luckily I remembered that.
So be careful, guys.
Nb. This is happening in Java, and this is a name in Java. Maybe there is the same thing with different names in each region

I just realized that I feel I know the grandmother. The grandmother I met at the full moon last month.
