(Thunder effect) Nina had screamed so loud in her room, before followed by a vase fell and broke.

ASLI Beberapa dekade setelah kedatangan Cornelis de Houtmen di Banten, warga negara Belanda dari berbagai kalangan sudah memenuhi pulau Jaw. Alkisah seorang gadis belia asal Belanda bernama Nina Van Mijk. Gadis yang berasal dari keluarga komposer musik klasik sederhana yang menetap di Nusantara untuk memulai hidup baru karena terlalu banyak saingan musisi di Belanda Hidup Nina berjalan normal seperti orang - orang Belanda di Nusantara pada umumnya, berjalan - jalan, bersosialisasi dengan penduduk pribumi, dan mengenal budaya Nusantara. Kedengaran indah memang, tapi semenjak kejadian aneh itu keadaan menjadi berbanding terbalik. Kejadian aneh itu terjadi pada suatu malam badai, petir tak henti - hentinya saling bersahutan. Dari dalam kamarnya Nina menjerit keras sekali, diikuti suara vas bunga yang terjatuh dan pecah. Ayah, ibu serta pembantu keluarga Nina mengambur kedalam kamar Nina. Pintu terkunci dari dalam, akhirnya pintu itu didobrak oleh ayah Nina. Dan satu pemandangan mengerikan disaksikan oleh keluarga itu, terlihat diranjang tidur Nina melipat tubuhnya kebelakang persis dalam posisi kayang merayap mundur sambil menjerit - jerit dan sesekali mengumpat - ngumpat dengan bahasa Belanda. Rambutnya yang lurus pirang menjadi kusut tak keruan, kelopak matanya menghitam pekat. Itu bukan Nina, itu adalah jiwa jahat yang bersemayam ditubuh Nina. Nina kerasukan. Sudah seminggu berlalu semenjak malam itu, Nina dipasung didalam kamarnya. Tangannya diikat dengan seutas tambang. Keadaan Nina kian memburuk, tubuhnya semakin kurus dan pucat. Ibu Nina hanya bisa menangis tiap malam ketika mendengar Nina menjerit - jerit. Ayah Nina tidak tahu harus berbuat apa karena kejadian aneh seperti ini tidak pernah diduganya. Suatu hari, Ibu Nina tidak menemukan suaminya, Do you see my husband? Ternyata, karena putus asa dan tidak tahan melihat keadaan anaknya, ayah Nina pulang ke Belanda sendirian meninggalkan anak dan istrinya di Nusantara. Pembantu rumanya pun pergi meninggalkan rumah itu karena takut. Tinggalah Nina yang dipasung dan Ibunya di satu rumah tak terurus. Suatu malam penuh badai, petir , namun aneh, talk terdengar Nina tidak lagi menjerit - jerit. Kamarnya begitu hening. Perasaa ibu Nina bercampur aduk antara bahagia dengan takut. Bahagia bila ternyata anaknya sudah sembuh, tetapi takut bila ternyata anaknya sudah....meninggal.

Ibu Nina mengintip dari sela - sela pintu kamar Nina, dan ternyata Nina sedang duduk tenang diatas ranjangnya. Tak berkata apa - apa tapi sejurus kemudian dia menangis sesengukan. Ibu Nina langsung masuk kedalam kamarnya dan memeluk Nina erat - erat dan melepas tali tambang yang melilit tangannya. Sambil menangis Nina berkata "Ibu.... aku takut...." Lalu ibunya menjawab sambil menangis pula "Tak apa nak, Ibu ada disini. Kamu tidak perlu takut lagi. Ayo kita makan bersama" "Aku tidak lapar, tetapi bolehkah aku meminta sesuatu?" "Apapun nak...! apapun.....!!" "Aku ngantuk, rasanya aku akan tertidur sangat pulas. Maukah ibu nyanyikan sebuah lagu pengantar tidur untukku?" Ibu Nina terdiam, agak sedikit tidak percaya dari apa yang didengar anaknya. Tapi kemudian ibu Nina berkata sambil mencoba tersenyum. "Baiklah, ibu akan menyanyikan sebait lagu." Nina bobo oh nina bobo, kalau tidak bobo digigit nyamuk.. Nina, nina, have a nice dream! Nina, you look so pale! Nina ! Nina! Nina! Nina tidak bergerak sedikit pun, nafasnya tidak terdengar, denyut nadinya menghilang, aliran darahnya berhenti. Nina telah tertidur benar " benar lelap untuk selamanya dengan sebuah lagu ciptaan ibunya sebagai pengantar kepergian dirinya setelah berjuang melawan penderitaan. Konon katanya ketika anda menyanyikan lagu ini untuk pengantar tidur anak " anak anda yang masih bayi, tepat ketika anda meninggalkan kamar tempat anak anda tertidur. Nina akan datang ke kamar anak anda dan membuat anak anda tetap terlelap hingga keesokan paginya dengan sebuah lagu. Maka, karena hari ini saya menyanyikan lagu nina bobo, mungkin nina ada di sekitar sini, atau mungki ada di sana!
