Maybe for people who live in the western part of Java, they know how haunted a toll road to Bandung that called the Cipularang toll road. It is said that, during the construction period, the contractors did not heed the local ancestral culture so that many invisible spirits, the inhabitants of the area, felt angry and disturbed every driver who happened to be careless.

Tomorrow I have to attend a reunion in Bandung. That night I was contacted by a friend named Hendi who offered me to use his car.

“Tomorrow we have to leave at 6 am. The event starts at 8. The fastest journey is by passing the Cipularang Toll Road. I no longer dare to go through there, that’s why I handed the wheel to you.”

“At that time …” continued my friend, “I was passing by my friend because of some business. I remember very well at KM 90 I saw a truck in the opposite direction to my car. I was shocked and immediately swerved a little, luckily I managed to avoid it. Then I pulled my car and heard a lot of horns sounding. ”

“You know what happened next?” Asked my friend Hendi who seemed like he didn’t really need my answer.

“I realized I was in the wrong lane. So actually the truck was on the right road. I was shocked to death and started to turn around. This doesn’t make any sense anyway. At that moment I saw that I was at KM 97. Liar! I thought. The incident, which only lasted for a moment, took up 7 kilometers? ”

I listened to it while swallowing hard. Hendi advised me not to daydream while driving, then told me to sleep.

In the morning, I waited for my other friend who said he wanted to come with me. His name is Ramlan. So at that time the three of us went to Bandung. I drove. I also passed the Cipularang toll road. But in the middle of the trip, I saw a car rolled in the middle of the toll. Right at KM 92. My friends also noticed it while telling me to be careful driving from KM 90. Because in KM 90 onward, this is where many terrible things happen.

Since I focused my thoughts, we finally arrived safely. The reunion event went smoothly, but unfortunately, because it was too cool to hang out with my old friends for hours, my friends and I forgot that it was getting dark. Until finally the event finished at 9 pm, we hurriedly said goodbye.

I passed the Cipularang toll road again. I was going to give this wheel to my other friend, Ramlan. But unfortunately he couldn’t drive yet. And instead he fell asleep in the front seat next to me. Then I don’t know why it seems like everyone in this car is fast asleep, both Ramlan who is beside me, and Hendi who is behind me, all of them are sound asleep except for me.

At times like that I get goosebumps all over my body. Something’s wrong, I thought. I saw that I was already at KM 97, entering another realm gate on this expressway. I accidentally looked at the car’s middle view mirror, I found something very scary.

Someone is sitting in the back seat, glaring at me. His eyes were glowing red as if he was angry, continuing to stare at me through the middle mirror. Plus I couldn’t really see how he looked. Obviously he scared me half to death. But I realized I had to focus on driving forward. With one hand holding the steering wheel, I used the other to wake up Ramlan who was sitting beside me. I can only beat him, while my mouth is locked tight. I hit him many times and never woke up, I thought was he still alive?

In the back seat, whatever it is, still staring at me. Even the red color of his eyes glowed even more I immediately turned my face again in front of me. I want to hurry off this expressway, this ride feels like it’s slowing down. I don’t even know how many kilometers it’s reached now. I just keep focused on driving and driving. Two of my friends couldn’t help me. They were sound asleep.

A few moments later I dare myself to look at the middle view mirror again. Oh no. The thing of whatever was already in the middle seat. How can he move? Since when? He still continues to stare at me with a horrifying glare. His red eyes were enough to freeze me. And I noticed that figure moved slowly, towards me. My fear is getting worse. Moreover, I feel the my back like something ice cold touched me. I don’t know what is that, I panicked, lost my memory, I fainted.

I felt my cheeks is patted by someone. I woke up and looked around. A lot of blue light flickered around me. My forehead also felt a little sore, which when I held it, my hands became wet. What? Blood? I realized at once that I was surrounded by officers and patrol cars. I saw Hendi and Ramlan outside with the officers. I was woken up by the police, and the car I was driving had an accident.

Then the officers asked him what happened. I also still remember. When I told them what had happened as I remembered them, they seemed silent. Especially when it came to the part where I woke Ramlan up, Ramlan was a little disbelieving. In fact he said this,

“Really? I don’t feel like you woke me up. Moreover, from the beginning when the reunion was over I decided to take back seat with Hendi and you sit at the front seat alone.”
